To all M37/M56 owners - Fix for the Nav/Bluetooth/iPod issue

[AZhitman]

NOW we're getting somewhere.

Nothing about the Infiniti M is 'dark ages'

I encourage you to try Acura Navi and Voice command and compare, I'm not saying I don't like my M, but the fanatical blind loyalty is the other extreme of what you are accusing others of. Every car and maker has it's issues, strengths and weaknesses, Infiniti, Acura, Ford, GM, MB, BMW and on and on. Clearly Ford has done somhing right as they have risen form the dead on their own over the last few years. The M is truly a hit, yes sales are about double where they were last year, but that is not to say the M does not have issues. I'm always amazed how forums are suppoed to be an open way to communicate and share ideas and opinions, yet when someone shares an opinion others don't agree with there is a group of people who go on the attact.

[Blastphemy]

For real - social marketers head back to wakopedia. Your posting style is obvious, and as I said nobody )))here((( wants ford Sync. I dont live in a sheltered world, I have used it and it sux, just like driving a ford sucks and just like Microsoft winblows sucks.

Just because you don't like something doesn't mean other people don't like it, abrader. And just because you're happy with your M's level of technology doesn't mean others are completely satisfied. That doesn't mean the car isn't a great deal for the price, but the 2011 M is far from perfect. If it was perfect, it would be selling more than 1,251 units per month. (Compare that to the 5,882 E-Class units sold last month.)

Mind you, the M was up 174.8% in April, which sounds impressive until you realize that the car was only just launched in March, and it's not hard to triple sales of a first month's low volume. And if you include all Infiniti M sales, you'll note that Infiniti sold 1,440 total units in March (of all Ms, not just the 2011), which is 189 fewer units than sold in August.

Math is easy to manipulate - just watch the news and see how three different people interpret the same data three different ways. In scientific circles it's referred to as "discalcula." For example, note in all the monthly sales reports that Infiniti doesn't report actual M unit sales from April - July...just a percentage increase. A 61.9% monthly increase sounds impressive until one realizes that it's a 61.9% increase from less than 1,000 units.

I'm not on this board to take down the M. I came here first to find out if anyone else experienced the problems with their Ms that I had with mine. Having found that others were indeed aware of the same issues, I took my complaints to Infiniti Consumer Affairs so that the problems could be resolved. Tomorrow, one of the problems should be resolved when a new software patch is installed in my car for me to beta test.

Will Infiniti resolve the other issues I've identified? No way to know at this point, but if other vehicles are adding features that the general public comes to expect as standard, and Infiniti doesn't have them, then Infiniti will lose sales. It's the magnificent marketplace at work.

Right now, you're a very happy customer - that's good news for Infiniti. But how many people are going to walk into their Infiniti dealership after test-driving competitors' sedans that have heads-up displays, multiple-view cameras, parking sonar, robust voice commands, and smoother throttle mapping, and not feel a little shortchanged? And sometimes it is the little things that make the difference in a sale, such as a missing secondary sun visor or the ability to see the Caller ID of a buddy calling via Call Waiting on your cell. One can never tell...

[Blastphemy]

You are correct in stating that the information related to XM NavWeather® and XM NavTraffic is not posted in that bulletin. That information was released via NNANet to all Dealership and Corporate employees, as I had stated earlier in this thread.

Can you get me a screen shot? That would be very helpful to show the guy tomorrow and get an answer.

[Blastphemy]

It was because of my difficulty in finding proper information on those portals that I took my search to Google, in hopes that I would find another automotive manufacture's consumer experiencing similar issues with positive outcomes. Instead of locating that sort of information, I found tens upon TENS of your own posts on several other online mediums (other forums, magazine reviews, consumer report websites, etc.). In the event that you can't recall your absurd behavior, here are some links to just a FEW of the websites you've spammed with your list of complaints:

I've made no secret of my posting on multiple sites, consistently using the exact same username on each. If I had something to hide, each website would have a different handle.

I've also made no secret of my complaints, having personally given a list of them to Parkway Infiniti's Executive Manager, Michael Roth, and to Consumer Affairs. They know exactly who I am, and they appreciate the critique since it will enable Infiniti to improve their vehicles.

Sure, I may have gone a little overboard in the comments sections of various websites, but I believe a fully-informed consumer is a powerful consumer. Trying to hide the fact that XM NavTraffic doesn't work, and that certain features found on pre-2011 Ms are no longer included in the car, is not the way to sell cars.

And if Infiniti sees enough people agreeing with my complaints across the web (because not everyone reads NICOclub, believe it or not), then they may take action. Or, they may just ignore it.

Regardless, they're sure happy with me financially, considering I've bought four Infinitis over the past four years. If missing or non-working features are hurting Infiniti's bottom line, it's not my fault - they're the ones who decided to build the car that way!

And if you think cheerleading the brand despite its failings will change anyone's mind, it won't. I'm sure many people on this board appreciate your kind assistance with various issues, and I applaud you for it. But when you have such a difficult time admitting a simple error regarding a software update that doesn't do what you say, I lose a little faith.

[AZhitman]

The part that makes me chuckle is this, and please don't take it personally (or do, I don't care):

For such a supposedly smart, "well-informed" consumer, you must not have done your homework. See, a lot of the complaints I'm reading are NOT things that were purported to work, and later didn't - They're features the car NEVER HAD TO BEGIN WITH, or they're issues outside of Infiniti's control. No one pulled a bait-and-switch. Nothing's "broken".

As an example: My home is 2.5 years old. STILL doesn't show up on Google Maps, MapQuest, or most GPS navigation systems. No biggie, right? My OTHER house, which was built in '56, ALSO doesn't show up on most navigation systems. WTF?!? It's been there for 54 years! SAME ADDRESS. A quick Internet search would make it abundantly clear that this isn't an Infiniti problem... but it's SO much more convenient to blame the car, right?

Maybe I'm still not over being bullshitted. See, I'm a professional investigator. I get lied to all the time, by MUCH smarter people, and it's my job to see through it. I'm good at it. Then again, on second thought, that's not it. I just don't like arrogant people who underestimate the intelligence of others.

Sure, I may have gone a little overboard in the comments sections of various websites

Real men don't have to apologize, backpedal, edit postings, or lie to cover up misbehavior. How sad.

I believe a fully-informed consumer is a powerful consumer.

Ok, Mr. Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. Let us know when you start writing for Motor Trend. Until then, you're not "informing consumers", you're a disgruntled customer.

Trying to hide the fact that XM NavTraffic doesn't work, and that certain features found on pre-2011 Ms are no longer included in the car, is not the way to sell cars.

It's a big cover-up! Conspiracy and fraud! The public has been misled! Sound the alarms and begin a full investigation!

No one's trying to "hide" anything. XM Nav Traffic has nothing to do with Infiniti. My buddy's Acura SUV has the SAME issue (that thing's a turd, BTW). Features on a previous model not being included on YOUR model simply means you didn't ask the right questions, you din't do your homework, and you didn't play with all the bells and whistles. Oops. Take some personal responsibility for your actions.

Better behavior recently notwithstanding (but appreciated), the information I'm now seeing from other sites makes me sick. Feel free to stick around and contribute, but honestly, anyone who behaves like that at a dealership is a very small, very weak, pathetic little person with nothing better to do than be a jackass...

Let me address this little gem:

And if you think cheerleading the brand despite its failings will change anyone's mind, it won't.

...and if you think fabricating a massive list of "complaints" that really boils down to a couple minor glitches, surrounded by features the car doesn't have in the first place, will change anyone's mind, you must think you're far sharper than you really are.

...when you have such a difficult time admitting a simple error regarding a software update that doesn't do what you say, I lose a little faith.

...and when you "cry wolf" with made-up "problems" that aren't really problems at all (they're things that don't work the way YOU want them to, or they're things that aren't offered on the car at all (around view - duh), which you should have known before signing the papers), then your credibility suffers.

I've owned SCORES of cars. I knew, going in, what I liked, what I didn't like, and what "issues" I could live with. Some I addressed on my own by making a modification. Some, I dealt with, because they were minor. Anything I couldn't live with got that car checked off my list. Someone else will buy it - not me.

Whining because you failed to adequately research a purchase is childish and lame, and penalizing people (dealership employees) who have absolutely NOTHING to do with your complaint is even worse. Grow up.

[Blastphemy]

The part that makes me chuckle is this, and please don't take it personally (or do, I don't care)...

I think you and infiniti_lineup are overracting and overstating, but I doubt either of you really cares what I think at this point. This has obviously gotten out of hand, and I admit I haven't helped. Suffice it to say, I bought the car fully informed. It was the "best car for the price," even though it wasn't the "best car."

I publicized the flaws I perceived with the 2011 M in order to generate discussion, so that other consumers would take an objective, informed look and potentially make the same suggestions to Infiniti, which ultimately would result in a better vehicle down the road. In regards to the NavTraffic, I had hoped it would be resolved prior to my getting the M, especially since the problem was apparent since 2010 on the FX (which shares the same nav system with the M).

My 2008 M45, on the other hand, was the best car I've ever driven, and the only thing I remember complaining about was the air conditioning's ability to sense an accurate cabin temperature. As great as the 2011 M is, there are so many unnecessary and unexpected regressions from the 2008 model year that it definitely colored my opinion. But my lease was up, and I had no intention of wasting money on any overpriced competitor, so the 2011 M it was. (I suppose you'll say "real men" don't settle. Uh-huh. Right.) Perhaps I should have just bought out that lease, but then I wouldn't have Blind-Spot Intervention and a 420 hp engine housed in an award-winning interior.

Instead, the response you've warranted with your abusive posts has earned yourself a formal internal letter to Parkway Infiniti and Benjamin Poore that inform them of your efforts to defame the Infiniti brand and dissuade potential purchasers. You've managed to attack Infiniti's core pecuniary revenue, something that isn't taken lightly by either the Corporate Division or Regional Retailers and you'll have to deal with whatever consequences may arise from that.

Yes, I suppose Ben won't let me buy that 2011 QX56 I've been eyeing. That'll show me! BTW, good use of the thesaurus there with "pecuniary"!

Real men don't have to apologize, backpedal, edit postings, or lie to cover up misbehavior. How sad.

Any time someone starts talking about "real men," I just tune out. Pissing contests are for neandertals and children, not adults. Adults admit their mistakes and try to correct the problem, not continually try to justify their errors and then complain to corporate that the mean man is still posting his opinions, like infiniti_lineup. As previously noted, I don't suffer fools. Granted, I could do a better job of being less abrasive - and I've tried. By now, though, I should realize that trying to rationalize with people I consider "fanboys" like infiniti_lineup (and now abrader) isn't worth it since no logical argument will ever win out against "no one wants that" and "you don't know what you're talking about" and "facts don't matter, just my opinions" and "real men don't do X."

[AZhitman]

Any time someone starts talking about "real men," I just tune out.

Ahhh. I suspected as much. Wondered why a grown man of your means would have "roommates". Got it now.

As I said before, real men rarely have occasion to backpedal. Say what you mean, and mean what you say. I guess being honest and accountable makes me a Neanderthal, but it's real nice not having to apologize for anything I've said / done.

If you're so opposed to "pissing contests", why would you go to a dealership, test drive a car, with the express intention of being a douche and wasting the salesperson's time? Just so you can somehow feel superior? Wow. Contradictory much?

Blast, here's the deal: Facts DO matter. But you haven't addressed a single FACTUAL issue I pointed out.

I'm sorry if you feel "picked on", but I think you let your alligator mouth overload your tadpole a$$ on this one. You came in with a laundry list of complaints, but careful review reveals that very few of them are legitimate.

...no logical argument will ever win out...

Because you didn't show up with one. Logic dictates that you address the FACTUAL issues I pointed out. Or do facts not matter - just YOUR opinions?

my lease was up, and I had no intention of wasting money on any overpriced competitor, so the 2011 M it was

So, you got what you paid for.

Example: I prefer the 2004 M to the 2008. Does that mean I should expect the 2008 to be better in EVERY way than the 2004? Maybe, maybe not. It's certainly not better-looking, but that's my opinion. See my point? YOU got more power and a better interior, and gave up a few creature comforts in the deal.

We're here to help, but a dose of reality sometimes goes a long way. Alternatively, an AutoTrader ad is real easy to write, and I'm sure there's a dealer out there who'd be GLAD to sell you something that's just perfect for you.

As previously noted, I don't suffer fools.

Oh puh-leeeze. I kinda hope Mr. Roth tells you to shove it up your a$$.

Don't mistake any of this for anger, hate, defensiveness, or, as you've described it, "fanboi-ism". It's not. If you'd like, it'd be nice to get back to the topic, so that others may benefit from your experience with the '11 M.

[AZhitman]

Have there been any developments from the General Manager's promise to "make some calls" re: the XM NavTraffic issue?

[Blastphemy]

Have there been any developments from the General Manager's promise to "make some calls" re: the XM NavTraffic issue?

Yes! I met with Joe Sorzano today, a regional Infiniti Technical Specialist who is handling the software issues I've identified. He installed a beta software update X1U62008 that he wants me to test out and see if it resolves any of the problems. He also discussed with me the various reasons why certain things have seemingly regressed from the 2008 M, and assured me that Japan was aware of third-party vendor issues like Grand Avenue in Los Angeles not being found as an address destination, among others. He also noted I wasn't the only person to report some of the complaints in my list, and that engineers were working hard to reconcile disparate functionality desires as best they can, as quickly as possible. (He also hinted that the soon-to-be-released Leaf may have a computer/nav system that strongly competes with Ford's new system, as seen in Edge commericals.)

As for the ITB10-031 update, he confirmed that it's purpose was to resolve issues with the iPhone and iPod touch; not to resolve any NavTraffic issues as claimed by infiniti_lineup. The infamous Discs 1 & 2 updated 09-10 MAP No.1 to 09-10 MAP No.1b in vehicles that didn't already have it - nothing else. The 09-10 MAP No.1b update does incorporate older nav improvements that are already installed at the factory on Infinitis manufactured after 2009, but there's no "special" additional XM NavTraffic software on Disc 2 that does what infiniti_lineup incorrectly claims it does on 2010/11 models that already have 09-10 MAP No.1b.

Mr. Sorzano confirmed that my observations about XM NavTraffic's functionality (or lack thereof) is consistent across all 2010/11 infinitis with the newer navigation system hardware, despite infiniti_lineup's protests to the contrary that only my two cars are affected.

As for the preceding two posts, I'm just going to ignore them since they're pretty meaningless, although also mean-spirited. Despite all the moaning about this thread straying off-topic, I submit that my posts contain the most factual information of anyone's in this thread. We don't see infiniti_lineup doing anything but defending his original post, and then complaining to Infiniti corporate when he can't. And I respectfully note that AZHitman isn't providing any insights into these service campaigns or software problems; just constantly ragging on me because (i) my roommate is an idiot who made a mistake and now knows better, (ii) because I go back and correct typographical errors when I see them in my posts, and (iii) because I dared to post similar information on other websites - as if the only website anyone ever reads is NICOclub, and posting elsewhere is sacrilege.

Excellent info. I've actually recently rec'd a couple PM's from other members (who didn't wish to post / enter the fray) who are taking the same fight to their dealerships in seemingly parallel cases. Eager to see what Infiniti DOES about it now.

As for the preceding two posts, I'm just going to ignore them since they're pretty meaningless, although also mean-spirited.

Say what you mean, mean what you say.

You said you're ignoring them - There's no need for further jibber-jabber.

[Blastphemy]

1. I'm happy to hear that your issue is resolved, or at least in the process of being resolved.

2. I had never stated that your two cars were the only affected. I had only hinted that you were the only person with that complaint that I've heard from/of. Please re-read my previous posts.

3. Please tell Mr. Sorzano to look at ASEST Document titled "Inclusion Update - Original (Received from TN)" under OSC LB-93, General - 4Q, 2010 on NNANet. He must have access to NMCORP in order to view the document, which I'd suppose he does have since he is employed as a specialist. That's where I got my information regarding the XM NavTraffic & NavWeather updates included on Disc 2/3 (Yellow)

4. You are correct in stating that the 09-10 MAP No.1b update does include improvements from those that were factory-installed on models after its release. Disc 1/3 (Red) and Disc 2/3 (Yellow) include the software update, as Mr. Soranzo stated, however I stand by comment regarding the XM NavTraffic and NavWeather update being included on Disc 2/3 (Yellow). I have never been proven wrong from any document on NNANet. Ever. If it states that Disc 2/3 (Yellow) includes the XM NavTraffic & NavWeather update, then it is correct.

Now, we may be confused over wether XM NavTraffic & NavWeather was included in the 09-10 MAP No.1b update OR as a separate software update inclusion on Disc 2/3. The document that I've referred Mr. Soranzo to (in #3) does not distinct between new inclusions and ported inclusions. You and he may very well be correct in stating that Disc 2/3 (Yellow) does not include any other XM NavTraffic & NavWeather updates, but it may be included in the 09-10 MAP No.1b update.

Mr. Soranzo, if he has been involved in previous Navigation software update projects, would be able to clear this entire situation up. It's getting far too technical and detailed-involved for me.

The answer I got was that data on Discs 1 & 2 refers to prior updates that are already included in vehicles with map update 09-10 MAP No.1b. So if a customer did not have 09-10 MAP No.1b, then such customer would see some improvement in their XM Weather with the installation of Disc 2. But any vehicle that already has 09-10 MAP No.1b already has those upgrades, and Disc 3 brings the software current and as up-to-date as possible, but without additional XM Weather/Nav updates. No other XM NavTraffic updates exist for 2010/2011 models except in beta, and only a few of us have that X1U62008 version installed to test.

Have been having trouble with my 2008 M35 working with an iphone 3Gs. It works Ok in Phone mode through bluetooth. It is not recognized when plugged into the cable - to 1)use the ipod function through the audio system, or 2) charge the phone.

It also will not allow the phonebook in my iphone to be downloaded to the car.

Is there a software update that is available to make this work or am I stuck with lost functionality.

[M35fan]

Welcome to NICO!

The problem that you are experiencing isn't normal. Moreover, I don't believe that updating the system with new software will fix it. In fact, there currently is not an update available from Infiniti for the 2008 Infiniti M-Series - so we'll have to work around that idea and see what else is causing the issue to arise.

First, do you have another Apple product that you could plug into the system? This will allow us to determine if the issue lies within the vehicle's system or within your iPhone 3GS — should the system start playing sound/charging with the alternate Apple product, we will know that the iPhone 3GS is causing the issues but, should the system continue the existing issues with the alternate Apple product, we will know that it is the system that has the issue.

If it is determined that your iPhone 3GS is the "culprit" — backup your data via iTunes, perform a hard reset on the iPhone, then update it to the most recent software update available (iOS 4.1, at the moment). If this doesn't solve the issue, then test your iPhone in another docking station to see if music/charging occurs, as you may have a defective docking port.

If it is determined that the vehicle system is the "culprit" — make an appointment with your Infiniti Dealership's Service Department and request a technician to spend time with you. Show them the issue that is occurring and allow them to diagnosis the issue from a technical standpoint. Likely, they will end up replacing the NAVI or AV Control Unit (whichever is applicable to your 2008 Infiniti M35).

Thanks for the analysis. My daughters ipod works when plugged into the system. We have a couple of iphones and none of them are seen by the car system when plugged in. I have not mentioned it to the dealer on a service visit - so I will try that next. Thansk again.

[abrader]

Hey so I still have not installed this update because I do not have any problems with my ipods, phone or any BT audio devices - should I go ahead and do it anyway?

I did get the 4 wheel active steer update installed on my M37 S-type but not the navi/ipod update.

The service manager says I shouldnt update it if nothing is broken - but I know how those guys are sometimes trying to save labor hours

I also came back to this thread because a friend of mine is doing research on social marketers and I remembered this thread being a good example of anti-infiniti social marketing.

[audtatious]

I suppose that mentality is okay, that is, the mentality not to update if nothing is broken. The update will always be available for you to opt for and the cost always be free (until you surpass Basic Warranty Coverage), so if you'd rather not update until something goes awry, then do so!

In the end, it's a decision for you to make. Updating the software won't affect your current connections between the M37 and your iPod/iPhone/Bluetooth devices, but rather reduce the potential of problems with other devices that were experiencing connectivity issues before the update was issued. You may find it to prove useful to have the update done now, as when you try to connect with a device that experiences issues without the update installed, you will be forced to bring your M37 into your local Infiniti Dealership for service at that time — which can become a hassle.

Again, it's up to you to make that decision!

[Blastphemy]

Since I haven't seen any discussion about this, I thought I'd let everyone know that Infiniti has released a new software update for the 2011 M - ITB10066.

As noted in my previous posts regarding the beta of this update that I received a while back, this ITB adds Call Waiting, gives you the ability to call contacts in your address book by name, and fixes some iPod and Bluetooth issues.

There are still some minor bugs floating around that weren't addressed (such as podcast release dates not showing up on the iPod Touch), and this update still doesn't resolve the XM NavTraffic issues that plague all newer Infinitis. (Hopefully NAVTEQ's update that's coming later in the Spring will resolve that.)

BTW, regarding NAVTEQ, be aware that they're sending out notices to 2011 owners that there's an update available. THIS IS NOT TRUE. The map update is only for 2010 or earlier Infinitis with a hard disk. (There's also a physical DVD update for 2008 or ealier Infinitis.) NAVTEQ has finally updated their website to show 2011 models, and it clearly states there is no "Infiniti X9" update yet for your M37/M56: http://www.navigation.com/Infiniti . My dealership also confirmed there was no update available for 2011 models.

• The speaker in the front passenger door frequently exhibits a distracting sympathetic vibration.

They know about this, my car is in right now for both door panels and back deck. When I went in last week they asked me to reschedule becasue factory rep needs to be involved, they are getting numerous complaints about this. I have a a CD with 11 tracks that can reporduce most of the buzzy panels. One track I listened to with rep and I said sound s liek back deck too, he said no it sounds like all over is buzzing, so all 4 doors and back deck. So I suspect they will have my car a few days now to go over it.

I have a slight case of this too - but what can they do to fix?

Infiniti wound up completely replacing my door speaker. The buzzing is now gone. Since that speaker was defective, I wonder if it was the same issue everyone else was having, or if it was a coincidence? No way to know, unfortunately...

Instead, the response you've warranted with your abusive posts has earned yourself a formal internal letter to Parkway Infiniti and Benjamin Poore that inform them of your efforts to defame the Infiniti brand and dissuade potential purchasers. You've managed to attack Infiniti's core pecuniary revenue, something that isn't taken lightly by either the Corporate Division or Regional Retailers and you'll have to deal with whatever consequences may arise from that.

Yes, I suppose Ben won't let me buy that 2011 QX56 I've been eyeing. That'll show me! BTW, good use of the thesaurus there with "pecuniary"!

I never heard from Benjamin, aside from a generic 'thank you for buying' signed by him that was probably just a form letter. Guess he didn't feel I was 'attacking Infiniti's core pecuniary revenue' by pointing out known issues with Infiniti's new flagship car that helpfully led to this new ITB . Now there's only 34 problems left to fix before the car is perfect!

Real men don't have to apologize, backpedal, edit postings, or lie to cover up misbehavior. How sad.

Any time someone starts talking about "real men," I just tune out. Pissing contests are for neandertals and children, not adults.

NEXT STEP IS TO FLASH THE ORIGINAL DISKS THEN APPLY UPDATES AND IF IT IS STILL NOT WORKING, I'M TOLD THAT MY AV UNIT WILL BE REPLACED FROM THERE. PRETTY ANNOYING IF YOU ASK ME AND I WORK FOR AN INFINITI DEALERSHIP!

I think yours was a coincidence as at least with mine they spent 2 days taking the doors and rear deck apart and padding to fix all my speaker noises. They did a great job as it was done in September and the doors have been perfect since. The rear shade makes the back deck more tricky, but it is still much better and only buzzes under extreme low frequency ata specific volume.

AZhitman, You were right, the CAPSLOCK001 update worked!

Welcome home, dude.

I need to find out what update they put on my M37S, but I still have issues, had to dump my Moto phone and get a cheap Nokia for now since Infiniti could not get my Moto to work. Also I still get complaints about how bad I sound on the BT in the car. I also think the update screws up the Alternate Command mode. In Alternate Command mode I can no longer say DIAL NUMBER and be promtoed for a number to dial, I have to take it out of Alternate Command mode. Also found out that if you have the Driving/Fog lights on the Auto Lights Off does not work, they say functions as designed. At this point I like the car, but Infiniti Electronics SUCK and will make this the last Nissan based product I'll own!

I understand that feeling, I won't go o far as to swear off owning another, but they'd have to have something no one else had to sucker me in. Maybe we just need to turn Japanese and the electronics in these cars will suddenly make sense?

You're still a world-class felchbiscuit.

Which makes you what? Do you kiss your family with that mouth? Nice to see you haven't changed your hypocritical stripes.

This is ridiculous! Why are you still at it, Blastboy? Time to move along.

Let me know when you graduate from high school and then we can have a conversation. Had I known I was wasting my time on someone who hadn't even gone to college yet (if you even got in), let alone escaped his teen "know-it-all" years, I never would have bothered. Nice to see you haven't grown up, yet, even after having your a** smacked down.
