...correct Stephen... Sometimes you've just got to do what you got to do...

I have been in that situation as well ...so I know just how you feel. I keep four new RSA's mounted on S-Spokes in the garage... for any {dire} occasion, and ostensibly to avoid total financial misery. I picked up a fifth wheel/tire last week with 5800 miles on them.

Hey... do you know know if we can use 0w-40w Mobil 1 in the S JCW (210) ??? I have 90 or so quarts (Pep Boys half-price coupons) of the stuff stashed away (stockpile from 2 former cars: '88 M6 & '89 M3)...

I have searched the archives with only mixed results... (nothing definitive).
