Yea. Raising four kids I've learned that toys like that these days are pretty disposable. Something goes wrong, you never get it working exactly right again.

Agh the old pilot's prayer "Lord, let me die peacefully in my sleep, not screaming in terror like the passengers with me"

applies to cars too of course.

Yep, same here if I had to pick, except I'd want the E63S though. Of course, I'd pick just about anything over a BMW. It still has that 80's preppie stigma for me.

The blue ones are broken from the factory.

No-No-No - the valve springs with the blue tops are the NEW ones.

The non-blue topped ones are the ones broken from the factory.

Now, one more time, do the blue tipped valve springs go in with the blue side up or down? WRONG! They go in sideways -

OK, before you slap it back together, apply LOTS of sealant - Permatex or whatever you have around.

OK, back to work, we have wasted enough time on this subject!

Misleading but factual, Captain, as all are equally defective regardless of color. Blue remains the best.

Defective? Mine seems very effective. You drove it in the simulator last time, however you almost broke our necks, and almost broke off the nose in the driveway.

But your logic on the best color cannot be argued with, that is if I'm understanding your Vulcan shit correctly.
