The material quality on the Behr units must be shit these days. The original rads last for decades...

I don't think it has anything to do with where I purchased the radiator. As I recall both came in a nice box and both cracked at the exact same place. It's too much of a coincidence that it would have anything to do with anything other than manufacturer defect.

That's good fodder for a poison pen letter to Behr. Go for it.

Thanks for the suggestion John. I did email Behr if anything I feel better for venting. I'm not a pessimist; but I don't think that I will get anything out of this other than an apology email, if that.

So I went and bought another radiator from Mesa, Jim ordered it yesterday from WorlPac and it arrived in a nice box. Let's just hope there's a nice WORKING UNBROKEN radiator in there.

I got my Festorics packet today. Not only does the shirt not completely suck for a change, it even has an e28 on it. Too bad it's unwearable because they still put the print on the goddamn fucking FRONT. :facepalm:

So what's the deal with the Oktoberfest stuff? Is it mailed separately? Do we even know where it's being held yet? :?

Hmm, I got a nice polo shirt. Didn't you get a key chain and hat with yours?

I opened it up and could have sworn I was looking at the back of the shirt. Then, I thought they forgot to print the front. Then I wondered why they put the back on the front. Then I realized they made a crappy shirt.

Mike, you have to pay extra for the polo and the hat. No way in hell would I spend that much money on a polo shirt that doesn't have a horse on it. Hell, I don't even own a polo shirt with the horse on it. Target FTW.

No shit. Our accommodations in Morro Bay cost less than those polo shirts. Hell, my polo pony cost less than those shirts.

So what's the dealio with Oktoberfest stuff?

No idea. You'd think that since the same guy seemed to be doing everything, that for the $18.00 I had to pay for a week of ground shipping basically nothing, they could have put it all in one envelope. I've shipped brake rotors in less time for less money.

You paid $18.00 to ship stuff? I don't remember paying anything for shipping. I also don't remember our conversation from last night.

Well I was suppose to drive up in the wife's e39 but insurance just deemed it totaled. She is ok but the car is toast. Short version is, she was at a stop sign, another car ran the stop sign, t-boned a car in the intersection, flipped and then hit her.

My e28 is not ready to go at all. Wife is taking the Durango to go see family so that leaves me without a car. I hope I can get a rental or possibly a new car by Friday. Can I park at the Legends in a rental Kia?

Getting another perm? Remember what happened last time, not pretty...

Jay, sorry to hear about your wife, I am happy to hear she is ok. Why not slap some BMW badges on the Kia and sneak your way in.
