Fortunately we brought several suitcases and found that a large one and a small one left room for a backpack and computer case. With some planning and...

Quote: Originally Posted by adc Well I had just taken my new wheels to my tire shop to have all seasons fitted (don't start, please, I've done 2 DC winters in a chipped 335i on all seasons and was fine), when my wife calls me and tells me the M won't come out of 2nd gear. So now the car is at the dealer, I drive a 135i loaner (nice!), and tomorrow I'll probably have my "winter setup" but no car to fit it with....

I plan to ask for permission and hopefully will have the same result as other 'festers who were able to leave their car. It will probably be for only one night as I pickup on Friday and turn in to Vikase on Saturday. Since I am staying downtown I would rather not park it at the hotel.

Wow--I saw some of this early on and didn't even realize it. I went to a small dinner in Kiev a few years ago at the...

In a way, I envy you - having a trip and having the car ready for you when you return. It's better to have something to do to distract you from this daily agony. I've got no trips in the pipeline. Just thinking about it day in and day out....

Actually, John, I am glad you have something else besides Blizakks for they don't handle well on dry. I am glad you had Pirellis Scottozeroes, very little sacrifice in terms of handling but still good on snow. I am not sure why folks here who live in a temperate climate go with Blizzaks.
