Thanks Ken, "broken" in being the operative word :-?

I've been keeping up with the maintenance on my own, including plugs and coils at the obligatory 60K, besides oil changes :roll:

But she managed to scrape up the front on a high curb, even though the park distance sensors were screaming ](*,)

A bumper car may be in her future \:D/

We had our new Equinox a grand total of 14 days when my daughter drove it into the side of our storage shed, one of numerous dings and dents she's inflicted on our vehicles. I replaced the right front fender on her 95 318is THREE TIMES after she ran it into trash bins (TWICE) and a guard bollard at a gas station. She drove into the trailer hitch of a pickup at Walmart, knocking out the grill. After that I said screw it, you can drive it wrecked. She also backed all the way across our front yard and sideswiped my 633. She eventually ran the E36 completely out of oil and killed it at 289k miles. I made her buy a replacement car and do the upkeep herself. Her attitude and caution has changed since dad is no longer footing the bill and doing the repairs.

Ooh, side swiped your 633, that's a deal breaker right there ](*,)

I have no idea what age your daughter was, or is now, but lessons learned along the way go to being a responsible adult, good lord willing [-o<

I hope all is better now, including her driving :-"

I consider myself fortunate that my wife travels everywhere by broomstick.
