It sounds cliche but this summer really has sped by. We've got plenty more hot temperatures in store, of course, but as far as the calendar is concerned, time moves forward. Finito, summer. At one point, I owned an old BMW just a few years older than this one, but I ended up selling it to a young man with good taste. Unfortunately, a few months later I heard that a tree fell on it and totaled the vehicle. A real shame.
