well... starting tomorrow i'm renting a car from enterprise for the next 2 weeks worth of business days. why? because my current car just died on me tonight around 6pm. LUCKILY it broke down right in front of my auto repair shop. tomorrow i'll find out what exactly happened. and "no", i did not plan it that way.
so yeah.... the sooner my MCS arrives at the dealership, the better.

wow. if we lived nearby, i'd say we should carpool. haha.
yeah tonight, my car was making this weird sound when ever i wasn't using the gas. it sounded like a bicycle with a bunch of playing cards hitting the wheel spokes. then a few mins later it sounded like something fell off and the sounds stopped. the accelerator didn't work anymore. and after my friend and i pushed the car to the lot of my mechanic, we started cranked the engine and it sounded like freddy krueger trying to claw his way out of a metal box.
unfortunately my 'zen-like patience' has now turned into 'impatience'. bah.
oh!!! since you're using a rental.....did you get rental insurance or no? i'm trying to decide if its just a profit generator for them.

yeah..no need to get insurance..
for me, my credit card covers rental insurance...you should check if yours does... and i know for a fact that it works since i once busted a taillight on my rental when i was up in SF...it took a couple weeks to get it all settled but my credit card company came thru with the coverage!

I wonder how long it is going to take to get through the VDC...

"for me, my credit card covers rental insurance..."
Make sure you read what your credit card insurance covers because some credit card policies will cover only your rental car. If you get into a collision with another car, they may not cover the damage to the other car. This unfortunate situation happened to someone I know .

Just got a call from my MA confirming the install of the accessories oredered. Oh yeah!!!
It was great to hear from him but it makes the wait that much harder. MA says I should get it by the end of the month.
Any others out there that are getting their MINI from Northwest MINI in Fife, WA?
Rock on!

anyways...i'm currently driving a '07 (or maybe its a '08) toyota corolla le. and i'm pretty much driving it til the MINI arrives since i'm just gonna donate the car since its gonna cost more than i care to put into it. loved the old car, but i think its time to part ways.
so.... i'm betting (hoping) my MCS will be ready to be picked up at my dealership by........the 29th of this month?
#422
You guys are spookin me, I just sold my 92 Toyota 4WD pickup to a guy down the street ( with the understanding that I won't part with it until Hawthorne arrives ). I can't imagine something failing on it before then, I mean, it's only got 307,000 miles on it..
Congrats Doog, that's a perty one!
Bill in P.G.
