My service loaner rules!
My first service loaner...
![]()
It's awesome! It rattles, it wanders, it floats, and makes wacky gerbil noises when you push it hard.
In the next 24 hours, I will constantly reminded of how wonderful my 330Ci is.
It was either this car, or wait almost 3 weeks for a BMW loaner. The Saturn actually isn't so terrible, but coming out of my car and into the Saturn was like being beaten in the head.
On a more relevant topic...
I got to play with I-Drive finally. In short, I think it sucks. It's appropriate for some things (navigation, OBC and phone), and just plain stupid for others.
Things I liked: force feedback (very smart), intuitive push and turn motions to use.
That's about where it ends. It's entirely too much work to control the stereo. Adjusting airflow in Climate is best done when pulled over on the side of the road. And I think there's just too much crap on the screen.
Learning the compass directions shouldn't be too hard for most people. Remembering how to do everything else will be a challenge not suited for a generation of people who can't even set the clock on their VCR. I'm close to saying that putting I-Drive in a car is downright irresponsible.
I'm sure Nate, Vince and the E65 lovers will disagree. I'm not saying it's not cool -- it's a neat idea, and if it were in my home theater, I'd probably like it. But, we're talking about putting this in a 2 ton vehicle that will be moving at over 60+ mph, and asking the average driver (who often can't even hold a conversation with their passenger without losing their lane) to use it. I'm sorry, I'm just not sold.
Just my 2 cents.
Oh, and I still think the styling on the E65 is nasty.

At least she does not want roses
How do you really feel about it?alee said:
Valentine's Day sucks. If Ann wasn't so into it, I'd rather take her out to dinner the day before, or the day after, and have our special day then.
The restaurants are always overpacked, service blows, and the food is usually only average.
The only day that's worse is Mother's Day. The absolute worst day to eat out.

Alee they should have just handed you the tri-cycle to peddle home. At least it's better than that saturn. Won't have to worry about all the clunk clunk noises

Re: dam
I let them do it, but I didn't think they'd do it THAT bad.
It was a very humbling experience. Thankfully it's all done and over with. I won't even tell you about how badly they washed my car.BayDetailz said:Alee they should have just handed you the tri-cycle to peddle home. At least it's better than that saturn.

Re: ONE NOTE
I only let them do it this one time because we're under drought restrictions and can't do car washes here. Next time I'll just leave it dirty... nothing was worth the hassle I went through to get it clean again.
