I'm going to the beach with the girls. The 3 wasn't big enough to fit all the stuff. Timing sucks. I look forward to drive down.

The 330 was pretty zippy.

i would be thrilled to show the space available in the 330i

Don't worry: they just love you (and appreciate your business). Your case must be simple: the symptoms look like those of the infamous battery cable connection. They just don't read newspapers, perhaps.

Being personally on the other end of much head scratching, I'm leaning in the direction of it not being either I or No one at fault here

I guess I got used to you. It's pretty scary, I no longer tilt my head when reading your posts trying to figure what the hell you mean.

If it was sold/registered in NY, make sure to check out the state's lemon law and keep a meticulous paper trail for all days out of service! I haven't looked recently, but it was 90 days cumulative out of service before they have to buy it back about 25 years ago.

Remember it well, because I had an oil pump fail and the dealer was sitting on my car for months waiting for a VW district rep to approve the rebuild. I gave corporate a courtesy call on day 87, letting them know that they had three days to get my car back into my hands running or they would be eating the entire cost in a mandatory lemon buy back. Amazing how fast a brand new crate motor arrived at the dealership and was installed in only two days after that call.....

Not sure what it is in NY, but I know in CT to fall under the lemon law it has to be back at the dealer for the same documented issue three times. The key there is documented. Sometimes sleazy dealers will write the diagnosis as something slightly different intentionally.

I confess that I am uber-bummed that Taco Bell is sold out of Mexican Pizzas. Apparently people are/were so excited that they rushed to the restaurants.

It's a sign of the end of days when SoCal runs out of tortilla shells and refried beans…

On the bright side I'm sure the metro public appreciated not getting crop dusted today

I will confess the other night, we may or may not have had enough adult beverages that we couldn't drive so we had postmates deliver us a ridiculous amount of Taco Bell.

Including 3 mexican pizzas........it was only me and the better half.

I confess I've only had Taco bell twice. Once and then another to make sure my stomach wasn't just having an off day the first time.

No, but I have a colon that's frequently in need of cleaning...and even Taco Bell won't make me Run to the Bathroom like their TV commercial slogan claims.....
