Would you guy/gals stop the acronyms BS? Like, WYGSABS!!!!!! You're a geek if you over use acronyms. Is someone trying to create "sub language?"

Hahha what the H.E.Double.L is WYGSABS? I know I dont really like acronyms but its an industry standard so no can do.

I like this one. ROTFFLMFAO

I have no idea what YSATI means.
It's not very nice. It likely means You Suck At The Internet. <_<

Just got back from NYC - as I pulled in the driveway crossed 1200 miles -the break in was not so fun - did not use the cruise control until after 1000 miles and then just briefly to see how it worked - it really is cool - did a lot of shifting 5-6-6-5-n-6-5, etc and sped up to 80 then slowed down to 60 then sped up again - and on and on for 1200 miles - probably overkill but oh well
the car handeled like a dream but I do have a few uinresolved issues

1-what is the triangle next toths signal strength on i drive? It showed up from the minute I left Ohio and stayed on all the way through NYC and back until I got back in Ohio - then went away - thought it was roaming but there is no way with verizon that I roamed the entire time

2-does the garage door opener only work with the car on? This seems strange but with the key in and the car not atrated would not work - only worked if the car was running - I have the start/stop button without CA

3-still having mp3 issues - can not get them to work reliably - some songs work and othes do not - burned data files at 192 with Nero and made folders - the folders show but somesongs will not read

4-OK this is a hard on to describe and maybe I spent too much time in the car but you know how the idrive symbol has 2 circles light brown/dark brown/light brown with an "i" in the middle? OK if you are with me then form the outside betweenthe first and second circle - where they meet there is a series of black single pixel dots on the left hand side - anyone else have this?

5-how do you put the flashlight back in? Took it out to show my wife when she was driving and now I can not get it back in

Anyway the trip was fun - got alomst 27mpg witht he crazy driving - the heating system is perfect -
Valet parked the car - gave the guy 20$ when he parked my car to keep it away form everyone else and it worked - not a scratch
Salt and slush galore on the car and stayed there for 3 days - just got home and ran my car through the hand wash and rinsed it with high pressure spray - not the smartest thing to do in 7degree weather - the car now has a nice layer of ice on it - the entire car - but when I got home put my wifes car in the driveway and mine in the garage - hopefully will melt before work in the am.

Did not go the Italian restaurant - but went to some other nice restaurants - and saw the rockettes

anyway, its good to be back and I missed you guys and gals
i think you should get those pixel dots checked out..remember reading something similar on this forum and it turned out that the i-drive screen was faulty and needed to be replaced.

I agree with GJain on the iDrive screen that it appears you may have some dead pixels
