BMW Update

I am very happy to report that the BMW is once again road worthy and is back in action.  I picked it up from the shop on Monday, and after 3 days of testing pretty much everything in the car, my mechanic said the problems were from the battery being drained from not driving the car.  He said that makes sensors and the computer go haywire, making you think the transmission, power steering, etc. are going out.  And he only charged me $40 for all of the testing.  And that included topping off all fluids, too. 

I drove it home Monday and vowed I would drive it every other day until the wheels fall off or I buy a new car, whichever comes first.
