The point of your "rant" other than to say you drive a BMW is...?
(I drive a Toyota.)

Ii's already affected me....had a fan bracket pulley get bent on my 95 4runner....part was "factory only" backorder...(Japan)....so 2 1/2 weeks later a few junkyard trips later,

Signals official 4x4 Bug Out Vehicle is back in action and ready to head to the hills!

One of the few times when being poor and owning an older car is actually a good thing! I've never had a part break/wear out on my car that I couldn't get dirt cheap at the wrecking yard. No shipping required.

But then again I guess you can't assume everybody actually knows how to work on their own cars.
