I haven't installed a computer in the bathroom. I need these magazines so I have something to read on the throne! I guess I could take my blackberry in there, but I'd rather have the mag.
On another note, not to start debate on the dipstick, I know how to check the oil level in the iDrive, but I want a dipstick because I don't trust computers and sensors alone. They're great when they are working perfectly, but with something as critical as oil level, I want the ability to "see for myself".

you're looking at it... internet has everything you will find in any car magazine EVER written EVER. and you are only a .08 second google search away from reading it. and they dont have to cut down trees to make it, and you dont have to spend cotton to get it.

I'll run this pic by my wife and see if she's game for this. Anybody want to take a bet as to what her vote might be?? I'm thinking she might say something like this.
