    Do you get the bulb nanny saying you have a light out? If not I'll put one of these in Skooby.

    You have to turn off the OEM bulb check with NCS Expert.

    I wonder if anyone local to me has such a thing. Babs won't let me use my old school fix of black tape. ;)

    I filled Skooby's tank with 93 octane. Not much else, I'm a lazy old fart.

    Not to be a downer, but what happens if you get a flat in an air bag. Tow truck or repair kit?

    When washing cars where my parents lived in North Carolina there was a nest of bluebirds near by and they absolutely hated clean cars and would fly overhead like WWII bombers and drop several loads on the newly wash ride. After their bombardment they were happy and leave the area.

    Same thing happened to me Tuesday. Took them 10 minutes to discover my car. Happened in a darned parking lot. Not a tree or power line anywhere close. Bastids!!!

    I'm sure you know it's all because of your car's color. It NEVER happens to mine and I've had it since my S was new in 2006. I even park it outside and under trees during our usual hot and humid summers. So, I am certain it's because of your purty blue or red MINIs. Mine is "bird shit" Royal Grey.
