All right, I'm venting it out now!
No, I haven't got a ticket or lost my driving license, but I'm heading to a special continuation course because of my work to a different town....
15 weeks away from home, except the weekends. I know I shouldn't complain, it's just weeks, not months or so (well, almost 4 months). But I'm kind of home person, who likes permanence and routines.
I'm not doing all the trips with my car, since it's 1000km to and fro. So my loved "black sunshine" will get some rest on coming weeks
. Considering taking the keys with me because of Eric though 
...
I'll be on the forums, and I'll have some great time planning the mods during the fall. By the way, one major mod is already almost on its way!
Oh yeah, I'll be seeing my gf (common-law wife) less too
.

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
Don't forget to put her on a trickle charger lest you want to find a dead battery when you return.

Hang in there, brother! If you get withdrawal syndromes, just look in on the forums and we'll help you out - I can take a couple of "from behind the wheel" pics for you and post them on here, so that you don't have to quit "cold turkey" every time you leave your e60 behind
