passed out after typing the heading? then woke up and finished the subject 10 hours later? sounds possible.

What paint code do I order to get the NBM with sparkles? Is there any heat resistant super durable clear coat?

I am a bit confused by your title, but I think I know what you are asking. Your paint code is located on the drivers door. Look at the sticker with your VIN and options. The paint code is at the bottom left hand side after the BC/CC. It usually starts with a U or WA. Hope that helps!

I'm betting it was a "cut and paste" from another program like word or something and should read:
What Paint? Reshooting my Engine Bay!

Regardless, its pretty darn funny!

That's pretty cool, but it doesn't come close to what he's saying. What's he saying, I don't know. Is there a word for putting too many words into one word, or a whole sentence in one word?

What I'm wondering is where Boostaholic is and why he doesn't clear this up. I know that he is watching this thread because he started it and he needs help. Please clear this up for us. BTW, you get a 10 for the funniest post many have seen on this site for a while.

I figured it out!!! The title is suppose to read 'Repainting my engine bay!'

He was typing the body of the post and unknowingly hit tab or his mouse when he got to the highlighted portion above. He noticed that he was not typing anything in the body and moved the mouse back to finish the post. He did not notice, when he was not typing anything, that he was actually typing in the title. Therefore making it look like "Repainhat shouldting my engine bay"


But... the paint code is located on the door as Zangel said

I'm still wondering why Boostaholic doesn't clear this up for everybody. Is he too embarrassed to come back?
