    There are no assigned parking spaces. I just know that I parked after lunch with no dent. I come out to my car at the end of the day to find the dent. No note or anything. It's employee only parking so it had to have been someone from the office. Dumb. Friggin dumb.

    appliances...they drive appliances. :mad: We drive cars. You can usually see that they are appliance drivers just by the amount of nasty brake dust that they have on their front wheels...the dirty windows...the bumper sticker that they plastered on their trunk lid (crooked and peeling up on the edges):mad5:...I'm done now and feel better too:aureola:

    The trouble is fewer & fewer seem to respect anything these days. It is a sad commentary of these modern times.

    On a positive note...I'm getting more exercise by parking way out in the parking lots away from the appliances.

    I seem to recall a post of a patent application for an Anti-theft System using tilt signal generating devices that could be used in an example for given external parameter with a audio delivery warning to violators. I Just can't remember where I read about it?
    In other words if someone gets to close, I mean your MINIs personal space they get a audio WARNING if ignored than the alarms go off. I believe it can also send a message to your cell phone as well of the violation.

    Wouldn't that be something for the next time someone parks to close to your MINI and they get a "STAND THE F>>> BACK! atum! :lol:

    WOW....
    Hah, I think it's funny.... If all those MINI workers only knew that the car they put together.... that ended up being sold to you..... would eventually be taken apart by you, because you wanted to make sure they did their job on the assembly line.....

    Nice work Lynn...

    Drove to work and made an appt at my dealer to check out my iPod USB cable... AGAIN.
    It's out for the 4th time (been replaced 3x).
    I told them this time, "ah, you think maybe something else is causing the issue other than the cable?" :eek:ut:

    If torrential rain showers count, I washed my car eight times today and it looks like I might do it again in a few minutes. :D
