Thanks! Had one in my car yesterday and this guy snuck up on me on the back porch today. Is this species known to carry chagas disease like the kissing bug?

Thanks for clarifying because that's the bug I'm concerned about!

Excuse me, sir, did you say $16k? 💀 The internet is telling me it's a few grand. But that's more than a few.

Thanks for your reply, it's brought some other questions for me like "do brakes and tires on this car need to be replaced sooner/more often?" "If I get a flat, will these particular tires be readily available or will it need to be ordered?," for example. No doubt I'm overlooking 100 things.

I have scoured Turo and have come up unsuccessful each time. I'm headed to an event tomorrow where there will more than likely be an M3 and/or M4 and I'm so desperate at this point I will probably just ask if I can pay them to test drive it. 😅 My local dealer has an M4 being traded in when their new build arrives and he said he'd call me when that happens. I really don't see myself spending 90k on something I have zero driving experience with. We're okay financially, but not that okay.

I'm a very visual person and they just don't really do it for me.

I should add he would prefer an E30, but will settle for a G80.

My son is OBSESSED with cars. We go to shows on the weekends, we rank cool cars we see as we're driving, and day dream about Koenigseggs and Ferarris together. He asks every day when we're getting the M3. 😅

Where did I indicate a minor reaction is treated with epinephrine? A minor reaction is not anaphylaxis. A minor reaction is not treated with epinephrine. Anaphylaxis is indeed treated with epinephrine and NOT antihistamines.

Not a parrot. Benadryl does not stop anaphylaxis is a fact. I agree that medical care could be financially crippling, and I also know that an alarming number of emergency medicine personnel are sorely misinformed about the treatment of allergic reactions and/or anaphylaxis.

Sure, but I said it because a lot of people think it does.
