I'll be back in Vegas from Friday-Monday if anyone wants to come party!... but for some reason I end up staying a few days after my planned date to leave so I'll probably be there Friday-Wednesday

I usually starve for one day before Fogo De Chao to get my money's worth. Now that's some quality meats.

I drove by this place so many times and didn't even know it existed until a friend recommended. It's pretty good but the sides aren't as good as Fogo to me. Definitely a better deal money wise.

That doesn't work for me. I get so hungry that I lose my appetite lol. I usually eat a small breakfast to get my metabolism going, skip lunch and then go to town with all the meat for dinner.

Damn those little bread rolls are so good, but they fill you up.

Good Morning!

On a side note, my car is in for service and I've been driving a loaner 328i. Not sure how I feel about the engine turning off evertime I come to a complete stop...

I didn't like the engine turning off at each stop either. I asked one of the Sales guys at the dealer when I was looking at some of the new models how that would work with a manual and he said anytime you put the car in neutral and take your foot off the clutch the engine would turn off. Seems like it that would be even more of a pain.

That's strange. Maybe that loaner battery is getting low and that's why it flickers because I didn't notice the flickering when i had a new loaner with it equipped

There's an eco button. Turn it off and that feature is gone. It's a pain. Not to mention you can hear the car turn off then on then it jolts/shakes. Mercedes Benz did a better job with it.

So I got nailed for everything today. Fucking orange county dickheads (3 of them) were pulled over on the side of the road, out of their vehicles (2 bikes 1 car) shootin the shit on the sidewalk (they really don't have much to do in my area, at all). Details:
-40MPH zone
-Saw them half a mile away
-I cruise in "Drive" (not sport) when I see cops, keeping me WELL below 2.5k RPMs


Next thing I know I have two bikes behind me pulling me over. Asked to pop hood now I have a fucking fixit ticket that needs a state referee, can't just sign it off. Apparently I'm not allowed to drive my car anymore until it is fixed....? SMD

Anyone else deal with this shit? Sounds like I need to grab a stock exhaust system...

The exhaust and intake will have to go for sure. I don't know if you can get away with your downpipes. Do you have a downpipes fix? If not, your car won't show readiness and you will fail smog, regardless if you clear all your codes. I think you will be fine if you keep your jb4. Just set it to map 0 and start and stop the car multiple times (10 or so). I think every time you switch maps, it does something to the DME and you will fail smog. You need go cycle the car multiple times before that warning goes away.

I had a 328i loaner last, last week as well and it tripped me out the first time. After awhile, I started to not care especially since it's to save gas lol. And since you have to return it with the same amount of gas as you took it out with, I didn't mind it afterwards :P.

Said the guy with the 335is. Nothing wrong with M Grill. Quality food at a great price.
