She was pretty nervous and she let the clutch out to fast and stalled the car right in the middle of the expressway with traffic coming. Then she couldn't get it started because she didn't push the clutch in. I was yelling at her to push the clutch in and start the car! Finally started the car and we got out of the way without getting T-boned.

She will never drive my car again says her.
It's like pulling teeth to get her to drive it. I understand your frustration!

Well...she took er out for a spin yesterday. Called me a few times on the bluetooth while she was out. "I gotta hang up, I can't hear you! This engine is too loud!" She made home in one piece, so all is well.

Da WHALE has been out again. She braved the elements, and hit the SoCal freeways in it again. That means the battery is still good for when I get home Friday.

Well, Kymmz Kokaine Beemer has to go in for service. Things so advanced, it scheduled the appointment for me. All they do is call and confirm. "GunnyG?...Kymmz Kokaine would like its oil changed this week". So, she drove the "Rumble Roller" as she likes to call it to work today. I watched her all the way to the corner, out in back with my PJ's on. SoCal...spot Da WHALE if you can!!!

Yeah, she works hard and takes good care of me. Had to hook her up nicely. That sucker is all luxury! It was funny watching her pull out of the garage in my Camaro, though. She asked if I was gonna watch her all the way to the freeway? NO, but I shoulda! LoL. I grove by her job to check where she parked it. Away from other cars...great job Kymm!

The Beamer was about $70K. My car has NC Forged custom 5-spokes, 24's rear, 22's front. They were right around $4K. 275/25/24 and 265/30/22 Pirelli tires. Thanks for the compliment. Her car has Sporza Lineage 22x10 and 22x9, Pirelli's as well.
