I killed my bimmer
So here a pic of my 1985 BMW 325e Sedan.
I called it my "Red-Rimmed Beater", I even had custom plates being made saying "BEAT3R".
Well on the way to work this morning in stop and go traffic on Dam Neck, a white F150 stopped really quick due to traffic ahead stopping for the red light. Well I notice the F150 come to a quick stop, I tried to turn out of the way, but there was a car on my right and trees on my left. So I stomped on my brakes causing them to lock up and me skidding in the the rear bumper of F150. ABS was not a option for my a 1985 bimmer, so yea.
So full coverage insurance, with Towing and Rental car FTW. Or so I thought.
I get to Enterprise, and I start filling out the paperwork, and the lady takes me to this....
A super gaymoblie Beetle FTL. I ask if there were any other cars, and she that's the only available car in the VA Beack-Norfolk area. On the way to towing yard to get some stuff out the car, I'm at a red light when a truck full of contactors look over and start laughing at me. I call Enterprise begging to swap car with anything, I didn't care what is was at long as it was not a beetle, and the lady said call to tomorrow so see if anybody returns a car. That's not the answer I wanted to hear, but what can I do?
Around 3 PM Enterprise called me, and they said they had a girl that is driving a Dodge Avenger that wants the Beetle.

Yea, and I have my 2 kids in the back too.
I never felt so
in my life. I mean the Beetle should have been yellow or baby blue with a flower pot on the dash.

I have no luck with cars lately.
So I'm out in Portsmouth VA looking at a 1992 Lexus SC300 for my new beater. After looking at it I jump back in the Avenger to head back to VA Beach. I turn the key, and nothing....on the info display it says "buS". I know thats no saving this car now, so I called the rental's roadside asst, and talk to a rep. She telling me about how the battery must be dead, and it's going to cost me $60 to have someone come out and jump start the car. I'm telling her I petty sure it's not the battery. She transfer me to the office I got the car from in VA Beach. He gets the Portsmouth local office to come out and try to jump start the car but it doesn't work. They take me back and now I'm driving this...
At last a Nissan.
