Do you ever just want to....

Do you ever just want to find the person that owned your 7 before you and just kick their ***!!!!!!

I just spent all afternoon with a bottle of simple green, scraper, and a scotch bright pad scaping off all of the crud under the drivers side of the car. The kid that had my SE before me let the oilcooler leak and it created a really nice oil-mud-grime that I had to scrape on inch by inch.... I would like to know what the hell he was thinking.

Now i could see being upset if you got under the car and a frame rail was messed up or if the slaughtered a wiring harness to put in neons. but cleaning grime off the bottom of the car, bitch? Think of it this way he made sure that one spot would never rust with a constant supply of oil.

Anger management might be a good idea too

LOL, i would like to thank the hundreds of previous owners that didnt give two ***** about my car. So i could get it for 250.00 delivered to my house and do all the work myself to get it roadworthy and now I have nearly one horsepower for each of those 250 dollars. Course it cost a little extra for that

the two 7's i've had that were drivers were kept at worst decent. The only thing with the GS was a dent in the drivers side door (I assume the PO did this when the car wouldn't start--the reason I got it so cheap) and the inside smelt of a smoker. So far so good, but I need another one and the odds aren't looking good.
