i wish the shop was closer to ya cause i have space for you to keep it and work on it there

Me too! Maybe I'll take you up on that. I want to try and at least get the starter swapped... we'll see how that goes in my garage. I went to work on the BMW today, and got totally distracted by an oil change for the truck, installing the Jimmy Jammer plate in the doors of the truck. Then I fixed the wobbly Hellas on the truck. Then it got dark. So today wound up being truck day instead of BMW day.

Good news though...


Stupid ad valorem with the renewal made it $169. I bought a new starter with my discount from Global... it was $236.25... bringing the 'get the car back on the road fund' to $655.25... and I am already sort of regretting the decision to do this right now. I haven't even looked at the rear end, and I've already thrown a ton of money at this thing.

You won't regret it. Cuz one day soon it's gonna run again and it's gonna get wild in the streets.

THERE WILL BE NO REGRETS

Unless you don't get it running.

Glad you're making better decisions. You should consult us before any other automotive decisions.

A 2001 bimmer, handful of valiums, couple of beers really do me right

Hi, my name is Andy, and I like to PARTY.

Anytime I ever lined up with this car to blaze some tandem.. Up front, bringing up the rear, middle, whatever. I just always thought to myself right before the floodgates of hell open at the starting line... "Hawt damn this shit is about to be buckwild". Always glad to hear it's getting some love

I had a dream last night.. that we were all leaving like the Vortex or sumthin and Andy drove off into the night in the BMW of DETH..
I just remembered thinkin' to myself.. 'Damn that car looks bad as fuck back on the road again' as it went down Moreland.

Man.. I'd feel seriously privileged if my E46 could roll down the road with your car, Andy.

Let's do it, Geners!

I'm gonna have to get this thing to a shop. I tried getting to the starter in my garage, and because me garage is so narrow I can't get the lift I really need out of the jack. There just isn't enough room for me to try and get to it. Also, they sure put it in a stupid fucking place.

It isn't looking good for getting this fixed before the Turner event. I just don't have time to work on it.

When Is the turner event?

There is one next weekend. No way in hell this car will be fixed by then. Life is in the way.
