...this is insane. If getting keyed in January wasn't enough, and getting backed into a couple weeks ago...

Driving home from college, I get a flat tyre. In a construction zone, no where to pull off, get to the exit. Pull over, change it, go to the nearest BMW dealership, they wont honor Mini help but try to repair the tyre. Turns out, its basically in the sidewall. Unrepairable.

Throw on the dounut, drive 40 miles to the girlfriends. Go to Wal-mart, buy the cheapest tyre I could get to get me the rest of the 150 miles home to Philly. 90 bux. *sigh* So in a month or so, I will buy four new tyres (it is getting to that point anyway).

I think the self-fulfilling prophecy is coming true with my name.

 

That sucks to hear man... how about NothingGoesWrong

 

Sorry to hear that...

Here is a new name suggestion: "Live MINI and Prosper"

 

Try changing you name to GoodKarma mbe that will help

 

That's a good name suggestion, bamatt.

Better than what I was going to suggest, anyway: ShitHappensButIDontGiveADam

 

Ohhhh that one daring & asking for more bad stuff
I emend my 1st suggestion to goodCARma haha, get it?

 

Change it to Iwonthelottery.

 

I prefer SB's suggestion.

 

 

*sigh* okay, I have to contact the Admins. I just got in my car and the driver's side window will not roll down. No click whatsoever from the car when I hit the toggle. *sigh* Is this a known issue or is there a fix? I will check the relays tonight I suppose.

 

Looks like a case of the lemons

 

It's PA roads...

Yes it is, I am sending a bill to PennDot for my shocks for negilgence. Who knows, they might even pay it! LOL

The car isnt covered under Lemon Law, it is 5 years old and was bought from a private party. Oh well. Time to upgrade!

 

I drive back and forth to college every weekend during the school year on the turnpike or 422/222 and I have been tempted to send them a bill for shocks and such for my Buick.

 

Hey! I think I could make a court case that would prove they Breached their Duty of care and Caused Harm to my vehicle.

 

Could always borrow the name form the 50's TV detective show, "Mr. Lucky."

 

Dont feel so bad A month after i bought my mini someone ran a red light and hit my car. She was out of commission for four months before i got her back again and a week later someone keyed both sides and the hood terribly. then just two days ago someone smashed the back window. So i guess, just remember that there are worse things that could happen.

 

Dang!

Is Orange, Ca home to a band of MINI-haters or something? Holy cow that's sad

 

im beginning to think so :( it really broke my heart when she got keyed. It was a random act of violence against my car and they really went at it, needs a whole new paint job. It was the first and last time parking in that lot...And now with the window, I just have lost trust in people.
