I have my 733i sitting in my garage right now, not being driven much these days. The poor thing is a major victim of the dreaded clear coat disease, which, in fact is just a labor problem (my labor). It also needs brakes, so have parked it, driving my E12.

But tonight, I went to the garage to get something out of the back seat and developed a great resolve to do what it takes to get this car back on the road. What caused this, you ask? I simply opened the back door on the passenger side, and then closed it again. In fact, I did this about six times. I marvel at the engineering and quality control that can make such a heavy door open and close almost effortlessly, with just a little click, click upon closing. I must have looked strange standing there opening and closing the door. In fact, when I finish typing this, I'm going to go down and do it a few more times, so I can fall asleep with that sound in my ears. Click, Click.

I marvel at these wonderful cars.
