Today is the perfect day for some pho. I'd go if I didn't already have some steaks planned for dinner.

They really are


95% of those who code are using a cable and a laptop...which is fine and all... but EAS uses their Autologic (i think that's what it's called), which is similar to the computer at the dealer.
They are able to get to the route and code it, and if something goes wrong, they are able to fix it.
If something goes wrong when you're using a laptop you can't fix it (don't have the correct cable or software).

I remember when LT first started coding... my friend's car was fine... then he turned it on the next day and warning signs everywhere... and he couldn't exactly take it to the dealer. He was told by LT to just let it be and see what happens... he ended up having a friend at BMW fix it for him. It wasn't pretty.

Coding has come a long way since then, but you still need to be careful. There are those who can't do it, those who can do it, those who can do it well, and those who can do it perfectly. Just saying :P

Have you guys ever been to The Providence?
http://www.yelp.com/biz/providence-los-angeles-2

Hannah took me there last time for a belated birthday dinner and my god, it was amazing.

I didn't know food could taste so good.. and their Salt and Pepper Ice Cream had a really strong kick, it was bomb.

They also gave me a complimentary chocolate cause it was my birthday



It was too dark to take any good pictures of the food.

Place wasn't cheap though... I have to find somewhere amazing for her birthday end of this year...

If you really want to impress her, take her to French Laundry in Napa, but prepare to spend ~1k (for 2) if you get the wine pairing.

When a restaurant has a AAA 5 Diamond rating, you know it's good.

Yea, if you're buying really good wine, it isn't hard to spend 4k at a place like that.

Melting Pot in westlake is pretty fancy never eaten there but heard it's good and expensive. It's fondue they say to set aside a few hours because it takes so long to eat there.

Yea, saw his car at the movies... Just another AW E90 M in cam that will look like mine and Jasons...

[GOLFFRR]

He has the Red and Black Interior in his though it looks nice. I like it. There is actually 6 or 7 e90M white in camarillo oxnard Ryan sold last year as well. They are not on the forums. I am always surprised how many M owners i see come into the dealership when im there that have never heard of the forums before.

Jasons car is just in a league of its own.

[Definitive]

I've only seen one other of my car on the road. Other than Jason and ryans. And I have the fox red extended as well.

[GOLFFRR]

^^you have the black with red insert? i thought you just had FR ext. yea there are at least 7. 2 of them are parked at Spanish Hills Country club all the time. Older clients.

Neither of us drinks wine.

I personally dislike Alcohol in general... but I really don't like Wine. Thus it'd be a complete waste.

And even if I was making 20k a year like I was back in High School (long story, no where close anymore :/), I wouldn't spend that much money on someone who isn't my wife or I'm not trying to get with, if you know what I mean.

I took her there on Monday for a surprise date. for $40, we were both stuffed as stuff can be.

Their "Big Night Out" course thing comes out to $96+tip a person, which isn't all that bad.

Providence, where she took me last night, is about $120/person (no drinks of any sort)' I wasn't full, I was 'good,' which is probably better lol. But the food was phenomenal
