Beauty that never dies...
What is the one thing that most people are afraid of? Growing old is probably the first thing that comes to mind. For me, growing old does not bother me. What bothers me is that I am afraid of growing weird. I am scared that I may do things so out of the ordinary that it becomes ridiculous. It's okay to be different but to be different to the extent of being weird is not the same. Strangely enough, I apply this philosophy on Daisy. Look at her. 7 years on and she has aged beautifully. I probably love her more today than I did yesterday. Take another look. Gone are the 19" original BMW wheels and back in place are the Tecnomagnesio wheels. I've been trying to sell these rims off for the longest time but there seems to be no takers. Boy, am I glad nobody bought them because I would have shot myself if I really sold them off. These rims are fantastic. Fuel consumption on the previous BMW rims were 7.5km per liter but with these rims, I achieve 10.5km per liter. I was skeptical that light rims would help save fuel but now I am convinced. Take-off is so much better. Best of all, I could rotate my tires and that's going to save me a big sum of money. Since I had the rear fenders rolled out to accommodate the 275 tires, I went back to the shop and told the guy to un-roll the fender. You should have seen the look on his face. This is the first time that someone has actually un-roll the fenders. Sufficed to mentioned that after the un-rolling, the car looks so much better. No more wide wheels. And did you notice the new rotors? Those things are from I-Rotors, M5 size/specs. Daisy may be growing old but she will never grow weird.
