I get the same feeling whenever there's something going on with one of my cars! Practically all I can think about is what I need to do to resolve the issue... This was really hard for me when I picked up a "new" '88 BMW 535 IS last year for pretty cheap. I knew it needed a number of things fixed and I have been picking them off one at a time for the past year. It's now my daily driver and feels like a pretty reliable car, unlike when I first got it. I'm also feeling a bit frustrated at not driving my van as often, because I recently fixed, I believe, a problem I was having with it stalling and running rough. It's running smoother than ever, but it's out at my wife's house and I haven't been able to arrange to retrieve it . . . :^( I want my Westy back... Soon...
