So yesterday I get to work and open up shop. The way the economy is and that fact that its winter time, we hardly had any work yesterday, so we hardly made any money. Then on my lunch break, my transmission in my Z took a razor blade out and ended its self. I lost 3rd and 4th gear and it got stuck in 5th gear and left me stranded in the road, all the while the lights green and people are honking at me. I pressed the clutch in multiple times and jerked the shifter around until it finally came out of 5th. I was able to get it into 1st and 2nd and took back roads back to work in second gear. 3rd and 4th are completely toast and I had to make the 45 minute drive home across the city using 1st, 2nd, and 5th. What a day...

Wow so that must of been some trip. Sorry to hear that!! A friend of mine's 300ZX just concked out with electrical problems. He just managed to fix it, sell it and now drive a 944Turbo. Good luck with everything

At least you have the 135i. I was still waiting for mine to clear through customs when my 318i decided to blow a sparkplug out through the engine cover on my way to work. It did manage to run on 3 cylinders for about 200 yards back to the gas station I had just filled up at. Would have cost about a grand to fix (maybe much more) so it was RIP for the old warhorse.

I always wanted to buy a 318ti. Sad to hear it died.

At times I just want to get rid of it, but then Irealize how much money I have put in it and how much time and effort, and I cant do it. It just wouldn't feel right. lol
