Singles Social Club: It's Always 5 o'clock here!

[TexasDisneyBelle]

Except for the extra 15,000 runners who show up, next weekend should not be so bad. I am thinking of passing on the W&D this year due to the rescheduling to jersey week, and going with the new race they announced for the same weekend as last year's W&D. And I am hoping on a May visit for the Everest race

Less than a week to go for my trip! Have a Happy New Year, everyone!

I'm going to be at Disney on race weekend with my family. This seems to be my year for vacationing during all the disney races. First W&D, and now the marathon. Good luck with the race!

 

[DCTooTall]

wow, that's crazy.. what do you drive.. or not drive ??

I've only got about 63k miles on my car.... and it only had about 60k on it when I bought it in August. That 3k I've put on includes my drive up to CT over Thanksgiving.

Of course, I'm not responsible for playing kid taxi, and my commute to work is only about 30miles round trip.

I think the fates are telling you that you should be training for the princess or another race.

Well then the fates need to give me a little more free time and a personal trainer...

You don't need a trainer. Heck, I didn't even really *train* for my first three Disney half-marathons.

I'm sure you're right. I thought it couldn't hurt to ask though as long as I was asking for miracles...

It's a BMW, yes, I should have known better.

 

[TexasDisneyBelle]

I've heard that's a downside to BMWs. Crazy expensive repairs.

Maybe you should be thinking of entering one!

Yeah, what he said!

And what she said. I do not do much training either, running-wise. But maybe Peter could lend a hand.

I like BMW's. But I think any car today, once the dealer gets a hold of it, is in danger of expensive repairs. I just heard a weeks worth of horror stories concerning a co-worker's Honda at the dealer. But also helps to have some feeling for cars. We has a Passat that went in for a recall for a water pump. I told them that since they had it and it was close to 60K, to change the timing belt as well. When we went to pick it up they gave me a bill for close to $500 for the belt. But they knocked it down to $60 when I reminded them they had to remove it to replace the water pump.

yep, highly over rated, a friend at work has one and has nothing but expensive problems with it

my chrysler has 209,000 miles and is running strong

 

[ortholablady]

I drive a BMW X3. It now needs to be repaired after I got rearended on the the way home from work this week. $1400! $687 just for the new bumper. Good thing the parents of the kid who hit me are paying.

Hmmm....

I know in areas i've lived in there has usually been a way around the failed emissions.... Basically, if you spend $XXX in repairs to pass emissions but still fail, you can get a waiver due to the attempts to fix the car. Anything like that out there?

Wow, sorry to hear of the car woes. I have lately been starting to worry a bit, I have over 100k on my truck, and it has begun to get a little loud. I patched the muffler up with some goop from the parts store a few months ago, but it is starting to fail. And it is due for inspection by the end of the month, which I have put off for too long. On the other hand, I do not remember the last time I started it up, maybe Monday night, perhaps. Despite the cold, still biking to work. Hope you get the problems fixed. DC is right, we have a $400 repair limit to fix, then they give you a pass for the year. But that can get expensive every year.....

Sucky part is in AZ you can only get one waiver and that is for one year and the previous moron... I mean owner used it so I'm screwed, even though I've spent $600+ on it already. The carb gave up the ghost at the emissions repair shop this morning so now I am not leaving for California for 2 weeks IF I still have a job with them. I'm not holding my breath.

Sorry to hear, on the car note, my car broke down the day I was trying to leave for Christmas, yes, again. I hate it, just got it back today, it's not even fun to drive because I am constantly in fear it will break down.

I may sell it...

That sucks! Sorry to hear that it's draining your funds. I definitely know the feeling though. I have very limited moving funds and the car problems have just about depleted them.
