ROFLMAO. That's illegal, but unless you got a disgruntled employee, you are never going to get busted.

Sounds like that guy was not only eccentric, but he really wanted everyone to know that he was really eccentric. No headlight washers for him, no sir. He is not a typical BMW driver. He is a drivers, driver, a giant among men (Which explains the need for the pano roof).

Yep. If you are really concerned about GHGs, don't. ever. fly. anywhere.

Dibs on his car!

That is ridiculously misleading. Pressure in tires doesn't decrease meaningfully due to the permeability of the rubber (where nitrogen has an advantage). Pressure drops because of bad seals. Bad seals let out nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, methane, and whatever other gas happens to be around.

Lol. My 335 would burn about half quart to a quart of oil between oil changes (I think it burned, I never found any evidence of a leak). I was repeatedly assured that this is perfectly normal. Yet every time the "you know, you might want to check your oil" message came on, my heart would skip a beat. It's a bit like…

Thank you. I kept on trying to make that point in the car myth comments.

Lots of things can be accomplished with bent paper clips. Just about anything really, if you have enough of them. Except for making a BMW reliable :)

I highly doubt that. Air is, after all, mostly nitrogen. If there was a sagnificant difference in leak rates, we could use old wheels as a method of filtering nitrogen from the air, and do away with the whole bothersome cryogenic thing.

Some people drive more aggressively than other. If you are one of them, its probably a good idea to warm up.

Absolutely. You should floor the throttle prior to starting the car, and not let off until you reach your destination. In fact, its probably best to weld the pedal to the floor permanently to get the most out of your purchase, and cut down on suction losses.

Bad smells aren't necessarily harmful, as evidenced by the lack of mass graves around taco restaurants.

Once your tires lock under braking, you have no more control of the vehicle.

Nitrogen in tires. Oh it's not really a winter myth. But its still a myth, and its the one I hate the most.

You appear to be more of a tree-hugger than I am. An car port cannot possible build emissions to a concentration that can be harmful to people, and you should never idle a car in a closed garage.

That one is understandable. Albino brain chiggers look just like snow from a distance.

That seriously depends on how cold it is, how high strung your engine is, and what you consider "driving". Oil gets thicker when cold (yes even modern oil), and thick oil is hard to pump. So if you engine needs oil sprayed on the bottom side of the pistons, it's probably not going to get that if the oil is below…

Letting a car warm up for several minutes shouldn't be bad for the car, right?

Sure thing. My impressions of vehicles (and most mechanical things) tend to come off rather negatively, because I spend far more time looking for flaws than I do for things I like. I find machinery is best described by its shortcomings. Some people misinterpret that to mean I didn't like something, and I just wanted…

Even if driven sensibly (which admit it, you wont) your tire budget will be around $40/week.
