No, I'm sure I'll win.

At least you're correcting the problems, while I'm stuck just putting out fires as they start (not literally, but it seems like it). An endless cycle of repairs on the other vehicles, our med bills, mom-in-law health emergencies, etc, etc, keep me from improving the X5. I'm just frustrated.

Part of the negative attitude I presented in my above post was due to reading the latest threads in the Politics sub-forum. Yikes! Polarized viewpoints, many without a clue that they're even polarized. Not me, I've voted both parties, but never trusted them to do the right thing, especially now. I won't say which side I'm on (publicly), but reading the animosity on the forum is discouraging. Particularly from fellow Texans. What happened to the saying on the home page?
