Drive my car please...

I just had a three way Sinus surgery and cannot drive my car. I think it is lonely and bored sitting outside. Has been 5 days and may be a few more till I can drive non-narcotically ( is that a word ) or not under the influence.
By the way who has a Hot Choc. Clubman with silver roof in Lakelands / Gaithersburg, MD.?

I hope you're feeling better soon!

...and if you insist, I'll take time out of my busy schedule to spend some quality time with your Clubman

Thanks for the offers.... Dr. said I could drive but I should limit my percocet intake to no more than one, and maybe should take it 2 - 3 hours before driving. ha ha. Would this fall under the DWI legal thing? When and where is the Bill's Otto run? Is there a thread? Also, I have not joined the DCMetro Mini club yet. May do that later on today.

Pay for my ticket, and I'll use my own military leave days to oblige.

Why am I reminded of the scenes involving the Ferrari in Ferris Beuller's Day Off?

Hi Little Bean,
I don't know about the Chocolate MCC in the Lakelands but there are two of us with MCC's in the Kentlands!~ Mine is the SS with Black trim and a lady has an SS with Silver trim and bike rack. Oh by the way our license plates are only a few digits apart, very weird.
Hope you are well onto the road to recovery. I'll be looking for you around the Gaithersburg "campus."
Shamus

Hope you are feeling better now!

I haven't seen my MINI in about a month & I get to see it for all of 18 hours before I head to India for my wedding & again on the way back. :(

Really tempted to drive/ship it to MN for the time that I am gonna be here.

Hey Buffett, yea this surgery was worse than most others I have had. The left side is open but the right is still clogged. Teeth still hurt an areas around my know.

It would probably far more cheaper to pay the exorbitant rates to rent a MINI in India.

Now trying to convince my bride that getting in and out the MINI in her wedding dress will work out just fine....that's the hard part.


Edit: The average base price of a MINI in India is equivalent to about US $40k
