Wow, is it because the warmer weather or what?

Man over the past couple weeks it seems that my 240D has been under the weather or something. For starters the sunroof broke, (it will be fixed soon) then my front ontroll arms are making noises, on top of that, my starter is sticking on after i start the car for a couple seconds..... MAN O MAN. why all the problems? well i guess it just gives me an excuse to be in the garage

Keep up with the repairs and use quality parts. In the long run this will be one less repair you'll have to make. If you do the work yourself, you'll save a bundle if not you'll need a second job to fund your hobby.

Think of it like this; eventually you will replace all the moving parts, then you'll have a new car.

well if that was true, my "new starter" wouldnt be sticking, and my parking brake would be the last thing on my mind(replaced only a year ago, and no i dont drive with it on )

im not angry at the repairs, because like i said before, any car you buy is going to require repairs no matter what. Plus i really like my gas milage since prices around chicago are about 3.50
