Not another dumb question

It has been said that there is no such thing as a dumb question, but there are a lot of stupid people.

I don't have any questions about my new 2001 748r because I know how to use the search function and there is a great wealth of information on this forum, thanks to all with intelligent input. Cool stuff.

One post closer to being able to sell some extras in the classified section.

I think the quote you're looking for is...

"Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt"

One of my favorites. I believe it was said by Mark Twain.
