well I know the feeling! I didn't get to ride it either!! My 2007 BMW with the whopping 11k miles on it decided to take a crap on me so I had to take it to the shop first thing this morning! ARGH!!! Turns out it was BAD and it's a good thing I got it in- bad rear main seal whatever that is. All I know is the guy at the dealer prefaced it with " I don't want to tell you youve got a lemon BUT....."
The worst part was driving down the hill and watching everyone ride UP the hill starting out!
But I did manage to make it out for 32 miles this afternoon, so thats good I guess. But yeah we ate our entries... sigh....
