The body painting chicks have nothing on the bikini pic that Gary posted! :puke:

Sewriously. WTF with the furries and the Oompaloompa?

On topic, tracking production of my new car. Hopefully it gets on a ship on Thursday- it was built on Friday.

While also deeply disturbing, that's not the one I was talking about...

What are you getting for a new car?

Dear god- I'm going to have to be very careful in my thread surfing today.

Got a BMW 650i. Wanted a manual transmission, so had to order it special (they only made 4, apparently, to send to the US).

You should have picked it up in Munich. I did that with my dad back in 2001 when he bought a 330xi.

At the BMW factor:

Can I ask how long it will be from the time you ordered it till the time it shipped/delivery? If its getting shipped Thursday, you're probably slated for p/u at dealer around the 21st or so?

We were supposed to pick it up at the dealership late March, but the car went into production much sooner than I think the dealership thought it would (they had an "off the rack" one slated to be built in that production slot) I'm assuming the boat that leaves Bremmerhaven this week is already full, so it'll be 2/7 before the car can leave, which means it gets in to NY on the 19th or 20th, 3 days at the prep center, probably 2 days to get to the dealer, so right at the end of February.

Thought about the European delivery option, but thought with a 4-month -old it might not be as much fun...
