Lemon Law Process

As much as a love my cute little Woodstock, we've had some great times but we've also been to the shop 1 too many times, (over 65 days at the dealer for some major repairs). It was fine when I had 2 cars, but since I recently sold my BMW I don't have the luxury to have such an unreliable car. It's sad really cuz aside from the numerous problems he runs really good. I'm just worried that one of these days I'm going to be stranded somewhere. I contacted a Lemon Law lawyer who states that I have a pretty solid case. It will take around 6 months to complete, so we'll see how that goes. I really want another MINI, I just don't want to get another one and have the same kinds of issues. It seems like many people are having reocurring clutch, transmission, flywheel failures and MINI hasn't addressed these problems yet. So for now, I'm not sure what kind of car I'm going to get, it's a toss up between a MINI JCW or a BMW 135i so far I'm leaning towards the 135i

Back at work

Well after a last minute reprieve from joblessness on the 31st of July I'm back at work. I got to work but I have no access, so I decided to update my blog. Lets backtrack just a little. My last day was the 31st of July, I had already cleaned up my desk and was deleting all the stuff off of my computer when I was told that I got extended until Oct. Wow, was I surprised. I had already made plans to do the swap meets and take a break for a couple of months. This was great news, the only problem was even though they put in the paperwork for the extension, It had not been approved yet. So they told me to take a vacation for a week and come back today. Wow a 9 day vacation, boy did I use every min of that vacation to try and get caught up with my life. I got stocked up with tshirts for Stuck On Minis, sold my BMW, had lunch/dinner with friends and just a had a really nice relaxing 9 days off.

So I'm now back at work for at least another 2.5 months and hopefully the economy will get a little better by the end of Oct so I can find another job, or maybe they'll extend me again? At this poing who knows what the future will bring job wise, but at least for now I'm working which is a good thing.
