lmao. No. BUT there was a super sexy guy on my team.


We basically were in a room with other BMW drivers and paired up, asked to create our perfect BMW and what features it would have and yada yada. It was really fun. Something you'd do in high school is what it reminded me of.

If you ever get a chance to be put on the list, I suggest you do it.

They called me back for a second survey but I was pregnant and declined. They never called me again to do another

Should have gone in and suggested only matronly things.

"I would like to see BMW start a minivan line. Must have dual sliding doors, power liftgate, and backseat entertainment system. Actually, you think you could just rebadge a Town & Country? That would be perfect. The ///Minivan."

Likely same result of never being called back though.

That's why they never call me for another testing... Called once, didn't go, never called me again... All I want to do is add to the list of why can't their top engineers can't design some little fluffy cloud like device in between the center console and seat, so shit stops falling between... Cheaper cars have this already !!!

That happened to me at the drive thru, my card fell between my seat and the console. 5 minutes later, holding up the line, I got it out lol. ((No it wasnt my debit card, it was my customer loyalty rewards card and I wanted my damn points for that visit!))

It's genius... Doesn't make noise when you move the seat because of the material, not weak enough where a cell phone will go through, any change will sit atop of the pillow or slide to feet, and if you have to get under there, you apply pressure to open up the pillow by moving it out of the way...

This wasn't a paid thing I do have trouble sleeping and I think it's related to my wife moving around, my dog and my arms go to sleep every 20 minutes or so. This test took me out of the environment I think is the problem and instead added all kinds of other issue. The sensors were stuck in my hair and beard with what feels like bubble gum so I stuck to the pillow and itched, the bed sucked, I move a decent amount but being tethered doesn't allow that and so on.

So basically, what you are saying is, you had a terrible night sleep??

Right and somehow that's supposed to tell the doctors anything. I'm in medicine and it all seems like a crock. One step from hack sawing off limbs. I have no faith in medicine and can diagnose problem better than all the tests they do. It's just a moneymaking sceme.

Booze works too. Problem is I can take a power nap and be good for a long time so if I sleep 2 hrs and wake up my body thinks it's good to go until much later but it affects me later then.

Get some Grand Daddy Kush and smoke it from a volcano vaporizer and I can put about $100 down you'd fall asleep and wake up in the morning feeling like a $1,000,000.

Good plan. Getting tested could severely hurt me though.

Which is a stupid law to begin with, but I digress.


Prescription pills are worse, imo.

There is nothing like finding a long expired Vicodin or two...

I've had "broken" sleep since I was 7 months pregnant. Even on nights when I dont have my child,my body still wakes up at 1-2am to change her diaper. I have not had one solid night of uninterrupted sleep in 2 years now....

I feel your pain
