In the spirit of the season, and to support the camaraderie of the E46 Forum, I`m putting out the idea of getting some (badly-needed) headers for Smolck. For those who may not be aware, he has helped many people from this forum (and others), often traveling to their homes, and working on their cars for free....THAT shows a lot of heart !
And, being a single-income Dad with 4 kids, you know money is tighter than a snail`s ass....
I believe in the "Pay It Forward" concept....it helps to make the world a better place. We have a chance to repay him for his kindness and generosity, so, let`s do it....
I will collect any donation (no matter how small or how large) via my PayPal account, and transfer the funds to Smolck on Christmas Eve. I will make the first donation to kick things off. Please mark it "Gift for Smolck". My PayPal info: archerenterprises77@gmail.com
Donation sent. Merry Christmas Smolk, I think I speak for most when I say that your cavalier attitude and overall knowledge of these cars has helped me out on more than a handful of occasions over the past few years. I am glad to donate to the cause to keep you around for a few more!
I am humbled guys. Merry Christmas back to all of you. If I can do anything for any of you, I will.
I know it is not unique to me, but just yesterday I was telling my wife how much Christmas has become a chore. So hard to deliver "the goods" for kids these days. When I was 9 years old (like my youngest son) I wanted G.I. Joe guys. He wants a LAPTOP! Anyways, I was complaining to my wife saying I can't wait for this to be over.
Then you guys come along (as you have in the past) and bring the magic back to Christmas for me. I feel like a kid again.
Smolck, your demonstrations (youtube videos) have helped whenever I have had questions. I may not post much, but lurk almost everyday
. I look forward to reading your posts.
FastBob, thanks for setting this up and everything you contribute to the forum.
Do a detailed header install when you replace them on your car, and I'll be satisfied . I plan on doing the job when it gets warmer out. And could use something with a bit more detail than what's out there in the E46 community already :thumbup:.
DONE! I'll enlist one of my kids as camera man! Might even see if my sister will let me use her HD camera and tripod. (although shaky one handed videos are kinda my trademark!)
Smolck also writes an exceptionally well-written blog; check it out. I'm sending in a small contribution to defray his journalistic expenses (or buy headers, whichever has higher priority).
Yeah I see Veyrons pretty often. I only knew of one Koenigsegg in Cali which my friend owned. But he sold it. So now I have no idea lol. Here's two pics of his cars. The Koenigsegg and Veyron are in them so you can check it out. He likes "whiting" them out rather then black lol. You can google his name he uses for his cars "white out mafia".
p.s. Don't mean to thread jack sorry Smolck!. and Bob read your damn PM!.
I also am a lurker more than a poster, but I have benefited greatly from Smolck's participation on this forum. It has saved me a lot of money over the last few years, and I have become pretty good at turning a wrench as a result. Well deserved, contribution on the way!
Just want to again say thanks to all involved. I went out today to take the car for a spin. It is making a weird popping noise through the exhaust. I am starting to think I may have melted off a piece of the cat that is stuck somewhere in the exhaust. I will have to park it for now, it is insane how hot the engine bay is getting.
Without you all and your kindness, I would be seriously hosed. I just want to thank you all again!

No worries man!. Glad we can all help. You've helped us all SO much on the forums it's hard to explain in words. I wish you and your family a very happy Christmas.
And Taco above posted a enjoyable pic of a whore so that's always nice.
Small gift sent. Thank you for everything. Merry Christmas.
