    Just scraped my baby against the garage door.

    garage door I didn't scrape my garage door - I'm such an idiot I backed into it while it was closed. A grown man crying is a pathetic sight. I caught a bolt head just right and punched a quarter-inch hole in the MC Red bumper cover. I'm trying to effect a decent repair myself by filling the...

    Brake dust

    Searched the archives but did not find this discussed, specifically. My S85 (19" wheels) seems to generate an inordinate amount of brake dust (just completing first 800 miles). Does this improve with more mileage? I'm accustomed to changing out soft OEM factory pads for something harder and...
