Poison Ivy

I picked her up tonight at 8pm! She sounds good but I haven't really had a chance to check her out. See you all at MoS on Sat!

Update: apparently the repair is almost done, but they want more time to test drive and verify repairs. I miss my Lola!

Craig, I just wish Geno was here to help deal with all this. David could try to explain it to me and it will go one ear an out the other. Also I'm not the negotiator type. Would you be my loaner husband? Lol!

Thanks Craig for the information. Problem though, I paid for the reprogramming already because Lola was ready on Friday. Only to learn a new light was on. My advisor is saying they'd need to do the reprogramming after this treatment if it hadn't already been done. Seems to me they might have been guessing? Should I ask for a refund? Update, she's staying another night! :-/

Sorry guys, busy day at work. We decided to go ahead and get the carbon cleaning service done. She's got 60k miles on her and this can only help her run even better. It's a lot of money, but they gave me a great discount. Hopefully she'll be ready tonight.

That's right they denied the claim. Also when I asked if seafoam would do the trick they said, "Seafoam is not as thorough as the carbon cleaning we perform. We remove the intake manifold, and then use a walnut blaster to remove all the carbon buildup on the back of the intake valves. It will usually run noticeably better after completed."

We showed up to brunch even though I didn't have Lola. But thank you.

Yes and I dont know if I should pick her up or let them do the work.

Help needed. In early Oct, Lola's check engine light came on during the drive to Orlando for Mickey and MINI. We checked the code and it as P2096. Since then the comes on and off. I finally took her in on Thursday and I got a laundry list of recommended repairs. When I asked the advisor for the priority he said the software reprogramming for $199 would fix the check engine light. This was done an my car was going to be ready Friday. We went to pick up Lola and when we turn her on, the check engine light was on so we drove right back into the service bay. After being asked to wait a few minutes which became an hour we were told they needed to keep it overnight. Saturday afternoon I emailed and was told that they wanted to keep her until Monday. Today I'm being told that they need to do a carbon cleaning service for another $550 discounted to $200 for my inconvience. Is that not a seafoam treatment? Really?!?

I'd be interested, especially since it's so close.

I'll take it! I can PayPal you Gigi. Just PM me.

Too late. We left for the ball without it. I'm really disappointed.

Dang it. Looks like we won't be making it after all. Lola's still at PMoA since Thurs morning and they wait to keep it until Monday. So sad. I have a beat Justa loaner...

Oh man, that sounds terrible!

Sent my paypal payment and donation. For the record... 1 Ladies Medium. Thanks!

LOL, I had this on my facebook wall yesterday. I wish I was talented enough to pull one of these off. BRAVO!

I pulled up behind MINIBEE this morning on Janelia Farm then I must have looked like I was following since we were both heading to Loudoun Co Parkway, I turned right, he turned left, but I honked and we waved! :wavey: Now go to sleep, I know you're probably getting off from work.

Welcome George!

Welcome to DCMM's. Check out the calendar, we have three events this weekend. 3rd Annual Halloween Costume Contest at Passport MINI of Alexandria is on Saturday Morning, a Mod-Party in the Afternoon, and our October Dinner at Sakura of Tysons on Sunday evening.

That's what makes the game fun, finding something similar/related without being exactly the same.

Wow... good job Celia... but "too much time on their hans" is all I keep hearing about my MINI Halloween Costume... watch out...

Bravo guys. Ok so I'll add.... who's next???

Just saw this on Motoring Alliance and I thought this might be fun for DCMM's forum. Basically it starts off with the first picture, then the next person volleys back a photo that relates or echoes the previous photo (similar subject, similar predominant color, etc.). It goes on and on..... Ok starting now...

thank goodness someone explained what it meant... I was scratching my head. :questionmark::questionmark::questionmark: :stupido3: Thanks for posting... I'm just bored at work. :bored:
