BMW stands for "Blew my wad"

As in "I blew my wad to buy this car". Check this real life story out: We are bout 120 miles up the coast camping at a state park, Leo Carillo in Malibu, CA. one of our party has a newish Bimmer 750IL, reported to be bought for ~112 large. So she takes the key off the keyless remote fob because it has a tendency to fall off and keeps it in the glove compartment (not real bright, but she has a great set of legs...) Anyway, the keyless entry receiver craps out in the car so now she cant get into her car to get the key to start it (or unlock it, duh) And to make matters worse, she is in the wrong camping space and the power drunk park ranger is threatening to impound her car because she wont (cant) move it! SO she has to call BMW of Newport Beach to ask what the hell she can do to get into the car..they tell her she has to get it flatbed towed back to Newport Beach BMW so they can open it for her! No, they cant call close Calabasas BMW or one of the 10 in Los Angeles to help her, its gotta be where she purchased it! So now, 2 flatbeds later (because they cant seem to hook it without damage because she is parked head in with her wheels turned and has about 3 inches of stock ground clearance) the flatbed guy says straight up, "just break the F'n driver side window and get your key out, its the cheapest window in the car and itll save you a 100 mile tow". We never got the end of the story 'cause we didnt want to wait around for the outcome, but well see her in church tomorrow for the rest Im sure. But I hope the key is not chipped itself, that would make it impossible to start anyway if that reciever is kaput to right? Forget that.....Give me a coathanger and an old Mopar!
