I'll never forget...

• getting caught by LIDAR the second day I drove you.
• getting caught speeding by an officer with a stopwatch
• getting caught speeding right before the exit ramp in Buffalo
• the way you destroyed a $50 tank of gas every week.
• bringing you into the dealership about once a month.
• rollerblading to the dealership to pick you up because BMW dealerships suck.
• the way the paint chipped off your interior door handles.
• how your driver side door refused to open.
• how your driver side door refused to latch shut, making me drive around holding it closed with my left hand.
• how you refused to start, not once but three times, and no, a simple jump wouldn't do, we had to connect the negative cable directly to the engine block.
• how your battery died out of nowhere and needed replacing.
• having Lex dribbling some puke in the trunk.
• having Nyquil, as a rushee puke down the front passenger side window. Inside of it.
• having some unknown freshman puke in the car while driving him home from Chateau.
• having Cunnin' dribbling puke down the right armrest.
• having everyone call you to haul their damn furniture from place to place.

But I also appreciated...

• throwing you into the turns coming down Mt. Washington after the midnight BBQ's.
• almost hitting a 5-0 on one said night rounding a 90 degree corner.
• power sliding and doing donuts in the snow, almost hitting a lamp post.
• powering through the snow banks pushed up against the car by the plows.
• driving around in Pittsburgh when all the other cars were stuck.
• the many road trips, especially the 2000 miles in 9 days on the spring break Northeast road trip.
• my first time stepping foot on Michigan soil.
• hauling a car full of pumpkins from Squirrel Hill to Boss.
• late night runs to Subway for the 2 foot long subs for $9.
• driving into Squirrel Hill after a trip to Penn State or any other Northeast chapter.

And there you have it, goodbye at 37199 miles to the best handling automobile to have graced our driveway, when it wasn't in the shop of course. Your replacement definitely doesn't handle as well as you, nor does it feel as lively even with the two extra cylinders, but it can't possibly have as many problems as you did, you tempermental SOB. I will have to live vicariously through a friend's 2005 model with the updated X-drive system. If only she would throw it around a bit more. Make use of BMW's claim of, the Ultimate Driving Machine.
