I Don’t Know if I Should Laugh or Cry

Jul 29, 2010

Just recently my dad has been having a lot of issues with the used BMW he purchased a few years ago. Now when he’d purchased it to begin with, I was pretty leery giving that BMW parts aren’t standard and if anything goes wrong, you’re looking at spending money out yo’ ass.

Well guess what? Something went wrong. In fact, a lot of somethings went wrong and it’s safe to say that San Diego auto repair or any auto shop that deals with BMWs has become a frequent trip on his map.

Now as far as I know, all of his issues have been related to specific parts going on. I don’t believe he’s had any problems with the check engine light going on, but even still with all the problems he has had, it makes you wonder if he was just better off getting a Ford F-150—though, if I’m honest I can’t really see him in one of those anyway.

At least for me I get to learn from his lesson when it comes to any future car purchases. Unless I somehow manage to make it in the big time (see: rich), I will be avoiding BMWs, Mercedes and anything similar. My pocketbook cannot afford it.

I should probably cry now, huh?
