    Yao can just remove the front driver's seat and sit in the rear. That will be more comfortable for him.

    :D :D

    A couple of months after Yao purchased his Toyota, the new arena was named Toyota Center. Now he got a BMW, maybe they will soon re-name the arena "BMW Center".

    Man, sometimes I wish I still worked Downtown! I could be the TECH working on Yao's car! :mad: Personally, I think the 745/760 is the worst car in the arsenal now. Too many problems. But, as far as size, it's about the only car big enough, and it IS big. If Yao got a Coupe, it would have to be a 3 series, and that car is definately not big enough-his head would be poking out of the sunroof.
    Them lucky bastid techs posing with Yao just makes me jealous.
    That photo has to be real. Yao did in fact buy the car at Advantage, I've seen his addy, and phone number in our system.....but I AIN'T giving it out, so don't ask.

    He ought to have the new V10 550HP M5 custom built for him when it comes out. :cool:

    besides the '760Li' badge on the trunk, you can distinguish the 745 from the 760 by a 'V12' badge on the front fenders, a slightly diff chrome grille, diff wheels, and the hi gloss B-pillars and outside mirror stalks.

    Just seen Yao drive down Bellaire Blvd, heading towards Hwy 6, around 3pm. Instead of his head being in the front seat window, it's midway in the back seat windows. Dude is huge. Tried to wave at him, but he was concentrating on his driving.

    Those 22's were given to Yao by the dealer for the long wait of the car. I personally think that the cost was built into the seat mods anyway 15K for both seats. To bad the pictures dont show the personal monogramed floormats with the matching emblems pretty pimp.

    I worked there in 99 and 00, and am currently still with the company, just at the satellite store in League City. I've been a tech with Advantage for just over 5 years.

    I don't believe I've heard of you before. I really need to visit the downtown store soon, it's been remodeled, and I'm sure the people there have changed as well.

    Rockhead rule: Pictures required.

    By the way, wonder where Yao got insurance. Didn't he just learn how to drive?

    i think i started working there just after you left. yeah you should stop by the newly remodeled service dept. fully AC-ed. brick floors. too bad they didnt put in-ground lifts like they promised. still very nice compared to the old dungeon we used to work in.

    Yeah, AC is nice. Downtown was hot as hell, especially in that enclosed shop. Are you working with Momentum now?
