The last few weeks have been interesting. My SD has come down with a case of Aligenment-itis (seems only one shop in town can get her right... they work with one of the dealers) so the SD is hibernating until her appointment on Thursday. I was driving my Dodge Dakota but she appears to be suffering from brain damage again. I replaced the PCM about 2 weeks ago, and the new one has more problems then the old one. So shes down for the count, until another computer arrives.

This leaves me driving a friends 240D. it looks bad, it has an axle on the way out making a sound every now and then... I greased them and duct taped them, so they are a little quieter.

While all this is going on my friend started dating a girl who drives an 05 Lexus ES330. Everyone I know is complementing her on that thing. I on the other hand don't understand why, its a toaster with wheels.

I've come to the conclusion that I'd rather die in the 240D then ride in that Lexus.

I figure some here must have a similar experience, or at least understand where I'm coming from.
