    Your crazy, it's a good, cheap and quick eat right out of cambridge. I've suggested this place to many visitors and they all have like it..

    If you have extra money to throw around, go see and Boston sporting event (Bruins, Celtics, etc..). See what Boston is really about since we have the most dedicated fans (although every city claims this, lol).

    Need APR Tune??? (Shop Recommendation)

    hey I just got my APR tune (93 octane) from Marc's Foreign Car in Wakefield, MA. They are really good guys up there. Their shop might not have a lot of space but they were able to get my car turned around back to me on a Thursday afternoon around the same time I had dropped it off 2 days earlier on Tuesday. As far as I can tell there is Marc (owner of the shop I'm assuming) and Kenny Parlee. I worked with Kenny and he gave me updates about my car and location and status of my tune. If you guys need to check out the tune, hit me up and we can do some pulls.

    I don't believe in it, but I think this is where I'm supposed to say alithos anesti. Did you roast a lamb?

    Happy Easter! Store was out of non-shit chocolate rabbits. I am sad :(

    That's sweet, I wonder why it took 2 days to flash the car though? I've heard good things about Marc's shop as well.

    How much power are B8s typically making now with a base flash?

    From what everyone has told me, 30+ hp. I have yet to dyno it, but I didn't dyno it before the tune either. It definitely feels faster and the quiet stock exhaust gets a little louder. to flash B8 S4 ECU, the shop had to send the ECU into APR down in Alabama. Keeping their tune secret to everyone else I suppose.

    Yup, that's the response. I don't speak much Greek, but I know enough I guess. My grandmother would be pissed I didn't learn more.

    Yeah, A couple of them actually with heaping sides of spanakorizo(Spinach and rice). Good eats for 20+ people.
    After Easter is the time to stock up on those Cadbury mini eggs guys!

    Oh that makes sense, I don't think its about keeping it secret, I think its a limitation of the flashing cables that APR dealers have. I flash for vast and we basically lease the flashing technology from APR and I heard there were difficulties with B8s, enjoy it, go to the dyno day mid may that Chapel posted about!

    Yeah, you're paying for a full year's worth of the new car. Depending on when you paid for your old car you could be entitled to some money back.

    Yeah, I've heard of turbo issues resulting that that. But it could be a head gasket if he was losing coolant and/or oil.

    But then again, you are a mechanic. :)

    That sounds more along the lines of what I'm used to! Haha, do you plan on getting it dyno'd I'm really curious how some of these motors on software are coming along.

    I dunno, Mexican food cooked by Dominicans using recipes decided on by Japanese founders and owners doesn't exactly seem very "Mexican" to me...or very Boston either. Same goes for Boca Grande. Sibling rivals, competing restaurant chains, mediocre food. I was really looking forward to going to Anna's after hearing so many good things about it from locals...I went, and I couldn't finish my burrito, it just wasn't good.

    A real Boston food experience would be Union Oyster House, or the 21st Amendment, even Legal Sea Food would be a good choice(especially if a fan of fish). Personally, I wouldn't come to Boston to eat the same ethnic food you can get anywhere else...but there is a LOT of good Thai, if that's what you're into.

    Story Time: My family was out of town for easter, so I decided to stretch the legs on my car, just a quick shot up 128 to the North shore and back down to Wellesley. Now, you have to understand that since I've owned my car(2yrs), I've only had the chance to play with other cars on the highway once or twice, pretty much when I'm driving my car I never see other cool cars, and if I do they never want to play. On my way back coming into the Burlington area I came up on a 335, guy and his kid driving along. As I came up to them(not close just in their view) I see the guy turn to his kid, and then the car starts to take off, I was already in 5th, just because I like the extra pull in traffic going 70-75. Of course, I lay into the pedal to follow, and I giggled a little because he was clearly trying to dust me (hey son watch me loose this Audi), after a few lane changes and being well above the speed limit he couldn't shake me, he pulled into the left lane and got stalled by traffic, and I had the whole right lane clear and took off. He managed to to make his way trough traffic to get behind me, and we crusied till he got off on the pike. No real point to the story, just thought I'd share, but I have a feeling the guy was bummed he didn't just loose me at the begining, those cars are quick though.

    like i said, youre from cali originally! youre used to authentic mexican food. for those that never had a luxury like that...annas is BOMB. im not used to traditional mexican food being that im from the boston area originally, so im getting used to it now that im out here in cali. for example, to me...all the chinese food places out here are TERRIBLE regardless of the raving reviews. it just depends where you grew up and what youre used to. every part of the country is different.

    haha, good story. 335 is "the Gentleman's M3" to me. 335i vs M3 Spec Thread: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=107254
    I feel whenever BMWs see me rolling, they always gotta prove something. Take the on/off ramp harder, or loose me like in your story. I'm a low and slow kind of guy.

    On a side note, my friends sister ROASTED her 2009's Nissan Altima's clutch at 40k WTF??? Wouldn't go into gear anymore. New clutch & flywheel at dealer = $2,650

    Why do BMW owners feel like they need to prove something to us?.. Oh well, it might have been more fun if there wasn't traffic.
