BenzDieselTuner - 6/30/2006 2:00 PM

ok, during the game today all the trans fluid leaked out onto the parking lot, disabling the car, for the SECOND TIME, and because its the holiday weekend, i have to leave it sitting, at the bar where i was, caus theres no rental cars around (the mech tried for me), and the flatbeds already knocked off until wed.

luckily, its all my uncles land and stuff surrounding it, so i am parked right in front of the main office, and was able to use the phone, alot, and then his business partner drove me home.............

SSSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

anyways, i have like 27 pics, but the DSL guy didnt show today, so with dialup it'll take forever to photobucket them all, or add them to my albulm..................

i am SO frustrated...................2 weeks, no car, then 1 day (24 hours) of car, and now no more car again............


well, at least there is more fussball to keep you company. Deutschland!!!!!!

Re: My Mega-Restoration Nightmare Adventure

Everything is made of plastic now!

Well I had to order suspension parts off of ebay where its cheaper, now I have to wait a week for the parts to arrive, then it will be another week for my mech can put it on the car. Then he pass the inspection on my car, so I can get it registered. Today I got my 240D towed to the German mech FINALLY. Hopefully the 240D can be fixed and not be Charlie brown's parts wharehouse. . .

So now I'm driving my moms 300E which drives like a dream. I drove my friends 2005 VW GLI and the 16yr old 300E drives way better than that car. The only thing good about that car is The good turbo for good pick up and there blastin stereo system. I like the 300E it just turned 100k this year and drives like a dream.

Well god give me patience...

RE: My Mega-Restoration Nightmare Adventure

then u heard about how he was gonna get me a free rental car, until im all better, but then because of the holiday, he said there were none available, then he left his office without telling me about it, so when i talked to his secretary, she had to call his cell phone to verify, and then uncles business partner took his own busy time out to drive me all the way home.........

the update is, this morning we flatbedded the car here, as the mech said that it would stand there until wed. (after the holiday), then he would bring his guy, and come check it out on scene........now its at home in the garage, the flatbed guy was a genious, and backed up, and "stuck" it into our garage.........great job he did.........

now the mech has to come onto my turf to "look" at it, and then have it re-flatbedded back to his shop...........

so far, he hasnt charged us a dime, and i got in the mail from the shop a thank for for ur patronage card, with 2 fre movie tickets.......

i dont know what else to do, other than let him fix her for free...........

um....ebay is not always or even usually the cheapest place to get parts.  Or the fastest.

Nor are you guaranteed to get quality parts....they rarely say what brand you are bidding on.  factor in over priced S&H to pad their profits you many times end up paying more than at several parts places.
