@kdfrawg I'd love to see a new 5 series wagon released but I am not holding my breath.

@kdfrawg This thing was very well taken care of over it's life. Cleaned up, it looks brand new.
It's a work beater and should get something newer but I've grown attached to it.

@kdfrawg 1999. This is the first time most of this work has ever been done to it.

@kdfrawg Broom handle was one of the telescopic ones. Tailor made for holding a BMW hood open :D
Worked better than the top of my head to be sure.
@larand The rear hatch one will be a bear. Involves removing trim and body parts.. (Sportwagon).
The part is hard to source too.
I feel I need to clarify the prior post. Profanity was involved but it was pre-installation. The old struts gave way, hence the replacement, and the hood slammed onto my head.
Once a broom handle was procured, the installation itself was profanity free.
Changed hood struts on car without resorting to a rubber mallet or profanity.
A good omen for Monday.
@matigo Once, while playing 'Lard' in my office, the cat gave me this disgusted stare while twitching her ears. I just returned the stare and pointed at the door.
Thinks she owns the place.
Okay. It''s 6:35AM. C# and Maker's Mark needs put away. (The latter was heavily nursed. Were it not, I would not be upright - Let alone doing the former)
Some nights, I have the energy of a 20 year old. You would think this a good thing but it isn't because I have the recuperative ability of a 50 year old.
