    Took the Mini to the dealer to have them fix my LED door sills and try to find a noise in the rear suspension. After she stuck my fob in the key reader she turned and said, "oh look! Your car has a recall!". I don't think I was as thrilled as her though. It's for the crankshaft bearings. They couldn't schedule it for today because they had no loaners. Now scheduled for the 22nd, and she said they'd need it for at least a week and probably more if they replace the engine. The only upside is they're sending someone to pick up my car and drop off the loaner. At least it'll save me the gas and 150 miles round trip drive. Aaarg! :mad:

    :Thumbsup: Yup. Thinking about swinging by VIR and getting a tank of 100+ octane so I can run my NM module on the +5 pounds of boost and see how that works in conjunction with the JCW tuning kit. I've been running it on low (+3.5) since I had the kit installed. Thanks fer the suggestion. :drool

    I wonder how many of those 2.0 engines are being recalled due to bearing issues. I thought the Prince engine was the one with issues.

    I hope my two N18s makes it to 100K each.

    Geez....

    I know this probably belongs over on the Gun Thread, but I drove the R53 over to the corner gun shop this afternoon to follow up on my quest to purchase a Smith and Wesson 9mm Shield. This being my fourth or fifth trip, over the course of the past month, and waiting to get some kinda word from the S&W rep, I got some Great News! I'm finally gett'n my 9mm Shield. I qualify for a special LE program that S&W has going which allows for a fairly substantial discount. That said, and as scarce as these are to find here in California, my guy had finally made contact with the rep, found out that he was getting four general public safety and five LE only handguns. They should arrive Friday, we'll do the paperwork, and Ill take possession on the 22nd. And now, all is good... Finally.

    Wooooooo Hooooooooooooo!!!!!

    For grins, I bought a Ruger 10/22 Carbine to boot! What a great day. :beer

    I LIKE THAT. I really didn't have to type this with one finger. I could have just hit the 'like' button...BUT I DON'T HAVE ONE ANYMORE. My fingers are going to get stronger...
