Damn! I was hoping to see pics of cool stuff and places you've been! Who sold you that POS Bimmer in the first place? I'd get my money back and give them a pie in the face to boot!! >:(

I hope you get it resolved soon so you still have something that resembles a vacation out of this!!

A Few Minutes Together

I didn't even drive 10 miles before the "service engine soon" light came on the dashboard again-also what returned was the all too familiar and frightening engine surge. I just got off the phone with BMW and told them to come get the car and get me a rental. They didn't even push back. Just said they would be here soon and get it taken care of.

BMW of Des Moines "Yes, your car is fixed." No it ain't!

Last night Shelby did drive down. My friend, Paul, is driving down this morning and the three of us will have a nice weekend together and I'll have something to keep my mind off the gut churning fear that's building up inside me.

How the HECK am I gonna get home, EVER???
