    Had to say goodbye

    Had to say goodbye-imageuploadedbyagonline1393306270-458495-jpg
    The BMW was becoming a danger for my wife to drive. It would blow out perfectly good rear tires pretty regularly it was starting to leak coolant and oil. Worst of all all the wires and plastic under the hood were becoming very brittle. They would actually dissolve in my have when I moved wires around.
    It was originally supposed to be a date car for me and the wife but my daughter started driving and took the car my wife was using. So it ended up being a daily driver.

    I was able to trade it in for this though. A 2011 fully loaded genesis.

    This is when we picked it up. As soon as I got home I detailed it for a total of 12 hours.

    Congrats on the new car! And probably a good move trading the BMW before any more issues. I'm sure you know that can get extremely expensive.

    I'm curious of the mileage on the Z3? Needing an alignment explains your tire problem. I drive my BMW's until 400k without major issues haha. But it helps I do all my own maintenance.

    Congrats on the new purchase though!

    Congrats on the new ride! You will love the Genesis, i'm on my second coupe already!

    The car is more practical than the BMW as well, but the Z3 sure was a nice vehicle.

    The BMW was 14 years old with 104k on it. It was wet sanded and used it for all my new products before using them on a customers car. So this thing was in pristine condition. I would love showing it to people that would say "you can't keep a black car looking good".
    It was time for it to go though. I didn't want it to start Nickel and dining me.
    I love the genesis!!! It rides like my wife's old caddie devils. It also gets 28-30 on the highway.
