Doctor says Im cured of dieselideis .
Ill live as long as I stay away from craigslist and spend more time out from underneath a car.How bad is your disease, is it terminal? (3 or more cars).Are you just going thru one or two relapses a year.
HERE ARE SOME OFTHE SYMPTOMS 1) you wake up underneath your car. 2) you eat lunch underneath a hood 3) you go to sleep counting mbs youve worked on. 4) you cant remember the name of your dog but the nicknames for your cars are burned into your memory. 5) you carry a spare key that says #22 on the tag 6) you jolt out of bed when you forgot to plug in the block heater on a cold winter night What are some of your symptons?

My SO says to me "You're thinking about working on your car right now, aren't you?" in the middle of a conversation with her.

I thought I am the only one with the disease. During my annual checkup, my doctor told me I am addicted to Craigslist. I started with no diesel cars to 5 in less than 18 months.

It's pretty bad when your new annual insurance policy arrives (along with the EIGHT associated insurance ID cards) and you could swear there were only 7 cars...until you count on your fingers and picture the various places you have them stored away...UGH...yeah- eight.

I walk downstairs to the garage and exclaim "Die Sprache der Liebe. Ich liebe dich. Du machst mich so glücklich! Ohne dich kann ich nicht leben. Soll ich dich einem Sommertag vergleichen? Er ist wie du so lieblich nicht und lind.
Küss mich bitte." And then watch the 525i prepare for the ensuing battle.

um, 10... I'm SURE that's the last one... they just keep finding me... I just HAD to get the non running 240D 5speed manual... and that euro 85TD with the torn up head was a definite keeper.

Whenever I am asked which one is my favorite car, my answer is "My next one.".
