Keep your head up and learn from this grave error. No late night quesalupa or any other thing with the suffix lupa.

They are all death.
Well, it was the husband who saw the damn commercial and fell pray to the marketing. I was the drunk one who was easily convinced and said lupa sounded like a great idea.

My stomach still doesn't feel right and we are going on over 48 hours. The detox juice didn't even help. Horrid spawn is a light term. I've felt like there has been WWIII waged in my stomach. The lupa is some sort of foreign warfare they have hidden in Taco Bell to take people out

Avoid at all costs is extremely accurate. Take heed of my misfortune and save yourself from ever wondering if it's worth it.

Grasshopper, you have truly fallen prey to nefarious foreign intervention. From what you say the infiltration began with your husband and in your moment of vulnerability, they struck!!!

The sickest I've ever been was from a burrito in a similar circumstance. I have been hyper-vigilant since then and try to warn everyone of the potential disaster.

Join me in this mission!!!

I missed out on a wonderful car today because I listened to my girlfriend too much. Fairly salty about it because I could've just said no to her and gotten something that means a lot more to me than it would to her.

Are you referring to the "My BMW" app? If so, to be fair, I don't think they're meant to be interchangeable. Yes, the HUD feature is great.

If I'm mistaken about your comment, my bad!

Yeah I see what you're saying. Scaling is a bit whack. I haven't really messed with the app much but what I can see being useful for me is finding where I parked. I could easily put this in the "You know you're getting old when..." thread. Lol.

Since I have never had an app that can control certain functions of the car via smartphone, it's pretty novel to me. Also to see how much gas is remaining and the tire pressures, etc. Pretty cool. HUD is a totally different beast and I love it. Having that info right before you and not needing to look over to the center console/display is awesome. Hope you're enjoying the new ride!

oh yea the app is pretty cool, keeps track of vehicle status.
lets you know if the car is unlock or locked and other features.
look into the bimmercode app. you can unlock features that are hidden.
and its very simple to use. you can add other colors to ambient lighting.
which is my current homework
how is the m340i treating you

Very cool indeed. Yeah I need to check out Bimmercode for sure. Once you figure out how to add more ambient colors, please report!
I'm really enjoying the M340i, it's a lot of fun. I'm now halfway to the break-in period!

Cold KFC is the best. I used to pick up a small bucket, drive home, and put it in the fridge for eating cold at work the next few days - long time ago, summer job landscaping. Cold KFC on a hot day.

After the girlfriend bought her Q50, I realized the 3.0t makes 400 hp. Her car has more features and is faster than mine.

I am currently looking at trading the IS350 for a Q60.

Did she get the Red Sport 400 model? There are a number of folks over on the G20 forum that transitioned from that to the M340i. I've owned a couple of Infiniti cars in the past but the number one complaint that I always had (and apparently current owners today) is the lousy transmission. It totally neuters the engine, regardless of power. Not sure but that model might also have the drive-by-wire steering as well which is reportedly not so good.

Our of curiosity, why do you want to get an Infiniti?

If you like the Lexus IS there is a new one coming in 2022 with a 472hp V8. The Lexus IS 500 F Sport.
