    more cars.........

    OK so after much deliberating yesterday I've decided to forget about a BMW....I just can't justify spending that kind of money when we have so many other bills to pay right now. Instead I've been looking at a VW GTI: lots of performance for half the price of a beemer. Sat in one this morning, will test drive tomorrow after I've returned the Z4.
    At work all day again today.....................................ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    cars cars cars

    So my once venerable BMW 528i started giving me problems a few months ago...sunk 1000's of dollars into it, the last straw being a strut failing last week. New pair was quoted being 1700 bux so I told the dealer to keep the car, I'd use it as a trade for something "different".
    I'd once owned a Z3 convertible, was a great little motor but I was tired of driving it on the freeways and upgraded (downgraded?) to a 4 door.
    So now I am thinking  convertible again. Hell I live in Southern California, its almost Summer again...Enjoy life right? Saw a nice 2005 Z4 in the BMW lot, they gave me a good trade-in, Bob's your uncle, I drive home in a nice convertible............
     
    So I have been very happy with the car, except I noticed that the hood is slightly misaligned..upon very close inspection it looks like it's had a paint job, so I returned it to the dealer...Things like this should be disclosed at ime of sale so the dealership was very accomodating, basically giving me carte blanche to do whatever I want: return the car or ask for some kind of compensation. I told them that I would use the weekend to figure it out........
