I just more concerned with the mods. I might end up selling the car before I go.
BTW: What are the winters like over there?
Schweinfurt is closing down in the next couple years. Next summer there should only be 2 units here. Mine is not one but I'll pcs anyways. Not too sure on 15th E. I was referring to a deployment but like I said in the pm, didn't realize you're currently on one and will have dwell time.

*****, not here in Schweinfurt!! We have a nuke plant in town. It keeps the air ALOT cooler than Graf/Vilseck. Where we might have slush/1-3'' of snow, Graf has about 12'', not even joking. It snowed 3 seperate days this past winter. Snow might be on the ground for a couple days then melt. Snow another day of a different week etc.

No need man. Just all-seasons or snow tires. I ran my summers since it didn't really snow. When there was snow on the ground, it was interesting

Plus if you know u go thru a lot of certain parts. Then stock up and bring. I go thru 3 inch DP/axelback gaskets all the time.
^THIS. My front bumper looks like it was desert storm with shrapnel wounds. TONS of knicks and bug guts that are reaaaally stubborn to get off.

Why jump back into another car payment? I'm fighting that with the wife. I have 3 more payments of $450/mo on my truck after 5 years. She wants a new 1 series bmw...shieeett...she's out of her damn mind.
Amsterdam was fun, seeing all the hookers in the windows, a live porn show, a wax museum, the Dungeon, Anne Franks house and a Heineken brewery (well, went there, but close literally 1min before we stepped in
) I got some Absinth
Gonna have to try it maybe next weekend after the races
