Default TRANNY CAME IN TODAY!!! Let the Dronnel Ridin' Resume!!

Had to share the good news, my tranny FINALLY came in today!! The service lady called and told me they had 8 hours of wrench time blocked off for Monday. They will also inspect the car closely for other areas that may need attention!

Hopefully I can get it back by Wed or Thurs, then I can get these damn Dronnels off my living room floor and back on my car!! The 03 ES really gets tired after the newness wears off (been driving it for going on 3weeks) but that would be the same for any stock car (except a M5, E55, or somethin )

Cant wait to get my wheels back on, and go riding around, this may sound funny but i want my 7yr old, 94k mile car back!! I miss my babygirl so much! This time off has made me realize how happy she keeps me!

Note: this is what happens, when you relocate to a lame city for work, the car becomes your best friend (aside from eligible young ladies, LOL).

Is that ES 300 your loaner or a new car you purchased?

Your baby will enjoy your company when she's back.

My heart goes out to you my friend. At least your baby will be getting some new guts to go with the new shoes. I wish I could say the same.


Good Luck,

Kareem
