they didn't have anything else around so they gave me a 2011 750li with 400hp, lol. it is a nice car. i'm thinking i may just let them keep my 530i

so far this is the quickest bmw i have driven, which is surprising because it feels like the size of a semi while you are driving it, haha.

I got a 3er wagon once. I like Lexus when it comes to loaners...they give you pretty much anything....last time I had a GS460 and they give them for simple things like oil change.

haha, my last option was a 328i coupe with a horrible sound system and the M package. was kind of fun with the M package, but couldn't wait to get my 530i back.

this 750li i could live with, though...

Hmm...I just dropped my car off today, they had no loaners, so they gave me a Hyundai Elantra from Enterprise that they will cover the cost on for only 24 hours.

it's funny they had a mini and an enterprise car available for me. i am 6'6" and asked to see the mini because i've heard they are fun, just don't think i'm quite "mini" enough to fit. anyway as they were going to retrieve it, someone pulled up with a 750li and they were like, "we think you'd be more comfortable in the 750li." and that was that

LOL! I'm only 5'10" - maybe that's the problem

yeah i met a dude on craigslist tonight pretty far north from me (nearly half an hour drive) for some speakers (he was probably thinking wtf a dude with a $100k car and has to buy speakers on craigslist??? LOL). anyway, took the speakers home and they did not work, called him back and had to go meet him again for my money back (luckily he gave me my money back). normally i would be frustrated with this type of evening, but it was actually a treat in this particular circumstance. although the 11mpg was no fun
