It varies from morning to evening to midnights randomly but I usually try to switch into evenings and it’s gets way damn hot so Monster is usually my go to. But I am always weary about drinking them because I know the kinda damage to my health. And yea definitely better but still a lot of sugar lol. Which also reminds me that my nutrition in general is shit. I need to get back in shape, I’ve let go for about two years now. And man I miss it. But now with the whole damn Covid BS it’s even harder

Random rant:

Today was a crazy hectic day.
Started by driving M2 about 40 minutes to take it to BMW dealership for
•SOS emergency call malfunction
•Bluetooth connectivity issues
•A/C’s passenger side not giving option of blowing air towards the face area
•Possibility of lag between gears when punching it(DCT)

I didn’t take it to the BMW dealership about 15 minutes from me since they are horrible with their service, taking care of vehicles as far as not causing damage and getting issues resolved.

Anyway, I dropped off M2 at dealership, And it’s staying overnight even though they said they would have it ready in 2-3 hours. Reason for staying overnight:

•Check engine light is on (Been on since I installed Eventuri CAI)
•Headlamp malfunction is on(Goes on and off since I did custom work to my headlights)

I didn’t tell them why they were on and figured I’d let them do their job and find out myself if they’re on for other reasons.

Had my dad go with me to the dealership to have a ride back, picked up breakfast, ate, called in to work because of not having my car and also because dad and I decided to switch out my mothers kitchen acrylic light panels which should‘ve taken about 1 hour max with the drive and installing them etc. But it ended up taking about 9 hours. Had to make unexpected trips to Lowe’s, about 3 different times to buy more light panels, wood, wood stain, because of unexpected customizations we had to make to make things fit right and still look professionally done and not some homemade cheap job. It was frustrating but overall it came out looking way better than before so definitely worth it.

Hoping to get the M2 back early morning to enjoy it for my actual day off. Oh and by the way, I mentioned to the dealership not to wash the car lol. Don’t want or need swirls on my car.

Can someone talk sense to me. It's 3:14am.

My M4 has been in storage in California since June. I'm in East coast Canada. I'm debating to ship my car here but I feel like I might be going back end of Dec or end of Jan. So if it arrives here Nov 1st, that's either 2 or 3 months. Its a lease with only 5K miles on it and I have 20K total.

Should I spend $2500 one-way to ship it here? And then shipping it back, thats $5K for 3 months. Not sure if this worth it. But given how much I miss driving it, I feel like f it just do it.

I can save about $600 by going open transport. It's daily driver so I will be driving in winter. Is it worth the risk?

With such low miles, I’d keep that $5K and put it towards buyout at the end of the lease. $5K (plus cost of snow tires?) is a lot to drive it for 3 mos. in Canadian winter.

@itrocks4u said the car is in Cali so no flying involved

Aggravation and deflection leads to irritation which leads to difficulty sleeping.

The hardest part about working nights is trying to make yourself live normal people hours on your days off.
