Beastless in Dallas (again)

Well, I took my baby to the doctor today and she had to be checked into the hospital overnight. She's been running rough when she's cold. She runs great after she's warmed up, but sputters and even backfired once while warming up. (Anyone else have this problem?)

Meanwhile, the dealership was out of BMW loaners, so they gave me a voucher to pick up a car from Enterprise..... a Chevy Suburban.

On the bright side, at least I'm still driving a rear wheel drive V-8 with gobs of horsepower and tons of torque.....
