Agree absolutely, the forum for my old car was good, was very happy to find this one, it's true, a good forum and therefore community of other owners does make ownership so much better.
And +1 for the resurrecting old threads, I'd much rather find old the info in one thread than read 50 threads and find duplicate information in each, only to find the 51st actually contains the nugget I was after.

"I look at it like this. Owning an M5 is kind of like dating a slamming hot big-t...ed blonde, who is a pain in the *****, drains your cash, but screws like there's no tomorrow. Owning a Honda Civic or the like, is akin to dating a girl who is fat, ugly, smells a bit where she shouldn't, is a cheap date and doesn't screw at all (you don't mind). So yeah, I'll take the blonde."  (Courtsey of Jetpilot718)
