 Post ED blues - a one year update



As I read the posts in the ED forum here, I realize that I'm in the last stage of ED syndrome.

1. Excited about ordering the car and planning the trip. Read all beewang's posts.
2. Waiting for the trip to happen. Three months seemed like a year.
3. The plane ride, the delivery, and the vacation. Two weeks seemed way too short.
4. The missing of the car and waiting patiently for redelivery. This stage lasted two weeks.
5. Daily checking of ship positions and crying about how slow VPC is.
6. Elation at the reunion between owner and car.
7. Its exactly a year after I walked into the delivery center and the honeymoon's over; I want to do it again!!!! The only problem is I love my car and can't see parting with it just to do the trip again, and money prevents me from just buying another. I guess I'll just have to fly over and rent a car, but its just not the same.

No its not, but its not bad either. A lot of fun actually. I did my first ED in 97 and by coincidence kept that car until the day my 05 M3 arrived (sold it the same moring the new ED car arrived!! ) In between EDs I went in 99 and 01 and rented cars both times (plus in 94). Had a bunch of fun each time. Its not like driving your own brand new BMW and you don't have the anticipation like you do with ED, but you can still go anywhere you want in Europe and the sights are the same and the memories except the obvious are just as good!

I guess if I find the right rental, it'd be ok.

Even after paying the fee to reduce the deductible you are still on the hook for 18,000 Euros.

Put your ED plates back on the car (under your US plate)...that might make you feel better.

You nailed it on the head! I'm looking forward to entering stage 6, and I don't have any idea what I'm going to do when I get to stage 7!
