    What all of you that are mentioning how long your MINI has been in the shop is that ya'll have other vehicles. My mistake has been listening to everyone. I've been talked out of getting a scooter. Been talked out of getting a cheap beater.

    So what do I get by listening to others advice...

    Sore feet.

    Yeah, still working on that since the move.

    As to the Smart Car thing... Car2Go determined that the area they cover in Columbus was not utilized in a manner they see fit so they cut the home area and removed 1/3 of the fleet. Add to that you can't park one of them any where near anything at The Ohio State University Medical Center. Made that mistake once. Became a 90 some dollar visit to the doc, just for parking.

    I just want my farking car back!

    7 hours...I wish.

    We ran into a traffic jam that took us over an hour to go about 4 miles. Made me realize that Truck Drivers paid on per mile basis are getting hosed.

    From my understanding the tune is 99% there.

    Has the bytetronic been apprpriately sacrificed as an offering to gods of all things mechanical? Until that is done, with all the appropriate chanting, moaning and gesticulating while wearing grass skirts and tribal masks, the car won't start, as simple as that.

    We are so much help maybe we should take a road trip to Detroit Tuned!!! The wast cost and Denver bunch can meet me in Memphis. Everyone els head to Ohio were we will meet up with you guys then one big caravan north.

    It will be fun. I know Chad would be happy to see us. Kind of like a pulley party of old(for you non R53 boys and girls that was when we would get together to put smaller pulleys on our SC!).:D

    Hay Chad can we sleep on the shop floor? I promise we won't scare your costumers. :lol::lol::lol:

    You couldn't ask for Gnat to be in better hands. Hope Gnat is home from the hospital soon...

    This might explain some of your cold weather starting issues this last winter.
