It may add to the humor (the Germans have a word for this kind of humor, but
I always forget it) to know that the morning of that day I had dropped off
my 1985 Benz 380SE at the mechanic's for a water pump and fan clutch, and my
1994 Olds Bravada (well not mine, but someone in my family's....nobody will
take responsibility for that POS) for a throttle body. Oh, and there are
only 3 cars in my household, so...yup, I was out of cars.

Took my car in for "inspection 2", plus to have the thermostat
replaced (second one to fail in only 55k miles). Can you guys make a
thermostat that works, BMW?
They tell me that the lower control arms have too much play as well -
not surprising, I've noticed a bit of a shimmy at times. I guess the
strut front suspension isn't very rugged, but sheesh, a $900 repair
job after only 55k miles, and the way I baby that car? I always avoid
potholes, man-holes, etc...
