Quoterkj QuoteBob in Everett I got this in the mail today.... Dear Mr. Fisher: Thank you for contacting me regarding the economic recovery package. I appreciate hearing from you. As you may know, the bailout package itself has been largely ignored as the Treasury and Federal Reserve have given out nearly $2 trillion of taxpayer dollars without disclosing to Coby Archeo-peteriX - Community Forum

QuoteDave_G I love my iX. (You may have heard me say that before.) It's by far the most fun vehicle I've ever had the pleasure to slide around in the snow. It takes years off my age. But there's a problem. It's too fun. To drive it the way it begs to be driven makes me look like a hooligan, and in the small town I live in, if I look like a hooligan, it will be all over town wiby Archeo-peteriX - Community Forum
QuoteKelly It's been quite chilly here too, and the xmas season has brought out the worst in some people. I stopped for gas last night and used a pump behind a 5 year old 325i driven by a crazy woman. The gas station has multiple parallel islands with 3 pumps each. She was parked at the pump in front of mine. There was white truck across the driving lane from her. I finished pumping and wentby Archeo-peteriX - Community Forum

QuoteBob in Everett I agree that the winters seem to be worse the past couple of years. Seems like the age of global warming is over. The sunspot cycle must be in the "low energy" mode or what ever it is that they do. The warmest year on record in recent years was 1998.

Quotealanrw Well, then there's only one thing you can do in a situation like this. Where's the rum and apple cider? Someone grab a pot and put it on the stove. alanI'm definitely up for that...I'll put the stove in the iX and be right over ... I wishby Archeo-peteriX - Community Forum

QuoteBob in Everett The heated door lock option would be the cure for the drivers door. I don't think there is an option for it on the trunk. Probably a better idea than a hot key. Although by warming it key a couple of times with my hands it eventually did get the door lock to workl. The antenna won't go up either so the radio is not getting a signal.

QuoteBob in Everett On this cold morning it took about 10 minutes to get into my car. The locks were frozen from the wet snow that fell yesterday and got into everything before the temperture went to below 20 F last night.
