Is this a Louisiana thing?
Maybe but it is certainly an Italian thing. We did it at our NOLA wedding. My wife is from a long time Italian family in NO. (No Mafia and no pics). I don't remember what we hauled in that night. It isn't a ploy to get rich. It's just a nice gesture to wish the bride and groom good luck. Some may pin a dollar, others may give more.

Indeed a low point for BMW reliability...
Something was up with the coil packs. It would go to limp mode out of the blue. It happened 3 times in the 11 months I owned it. BMW serviced under warranty one last time and i ditched that dog.
My car was an xDrive50i. Top of the line without going to the M series. 2012 model year I bought from a dealer in early 2014.

BMW six
I bought a E39 5 series brand new in 2002. Loved that car. It replaced my two seater ZX. Traded it for a 2014 X5. The X5 was in the shop more than I actually drove it during the first year. I polished it up and sold it to the next unwitted victim. It still had a manufacture warranty so I didn't feel too bad.

The answer in to the question in your subject line is simple: VQ35DE, and it isn't close.
I had a 1992 Z with a V6 non turbo. That car was perfect. Unfortunately I sold it because of babies.
ETA:
My mind was clouded by too much bourbon last night. My '92 was a Maxima with the V6. Not sure what it was called but it was the top of the line. I spent 32K for it brand new. My Z was a used '95 model, again with the V6 no-turbo, It was painted a very rare purple metallic, I should have kept it but I need a back seat for baby seats and didn't have the space for a third car.
I had a group of Graphic Designer female friends that like to go to the gay clubs in NO. They invited me along a number of times. They liked the gay clubs because they were hot, most were married, and the gays at the club liked having them around. They knew I was straight but they enjoyed my company. I went willingly because the gaydar is strong and I never felt uncomfortable. I slept with 3/4 of the girls of the group over time.

Kroger is 79c for a green pepper. Not sure what that equates to per pound. Fiesta has them for .59 if I want to go to he Hispanic store.
HP has been in Texas for decades. They bought Compaq and have a whole campus they share with HCC.

Yeah I’ve never seen an a Alamo
Alamo has basically shut down around here. I think Flix is the new name. Anyway my son went to a 9:30 showing at the local AMC last night. He checks in safe!
re: Is Milam a big leaguer?

Altuve has major pop in his bat. Milam shows some power at the plate. Milam is a long way from Altuve.
This year would make 67 years for Mom and Dad. They are both gone now but their bond was strong. Married in '59. Mom graduated from Baton Rouge High in '58. Dad graduated from Centreville, MS High where they taught the 3 R's. Reading, Writing and the Road to Baton Rouge. Two older brothers came before me in '60 and '62. Dad got his dream job in '65 as an operator in a chemical plant. Hence me and my sister became plant babies in '66 and '70. Dad succumbed to prostate cancer that eventually spread. Mom had dementia and died because of a fall that wrecked her brain.
Love them both.
Love them both.

I wonder if it is different because it is a subsidized ACA plan as opposed to a employer provided plan.
I'm pretty sure if you have employer provided health care you should let the ACA know. My younger son is now employed and has employer provided health care options. Now ( depends on if he is able to stay on my plan) we have to make the call for 2026 if it is economically for him to stay ACA or accept employer health care.

I thought kids were permitted on family coverage till age 26 under the rules implemented for Obama care.
Apparently they are only able to stay on my plan if they are dependents and do not file a tax return. Once he moved and was making some money (enough to report to the IRS) he was excluded from my ACA plan.

Somehow Obamacare = taxes in OP’s mind
Not sure what's going on with the OP but there's some correlation between Obamacare and taxes. Me and my two boys (early 20's) were on Obamacare last year. My oldest moved to CO for a job but no health benefits. I intended to keep him on my plan. However since he is no longer a dependent and will file his own taxes for 2025 he cannot stay on my marketplace plan. He had to get his own for '26.

What bothers me more where I go is the screaming and crying toddlers.
Does the Catholic Church not have nurseries? Most Baptist churches I've been to have nurseries for babies and toddlers. Really about 5-6 and under are supervised outside of the sanctuary.

Now is actually a pretty decent time to get in. I'm in the opposite situation. Just got an offer dropped in my lap to pick up a house for $300 that I could easily get 400k for and a Condo on Lake Hamilton for $80k that last sold for $225k in 2018- blank slate. They pulled everything out to remodel and shite fell apart. Foreclosure on May 1st Need someone that can pay cash and get both. Owes $160k on house. But I don't want to pay short term gains taxes, but don't want more hassle and will need to do something with them in next year. I can finish out condo to be on par on slightly above recently renovated neighbors for $30-40k tops. Any reason I shouldn't do it? House is across the street from mine and I would also like some say on who lives there.
I'm not a RE expert but it sounds like a great deal. What are selling that would generate short term galns?

I like the fans in the background of the first video clapping and laughing as Jay wasn't getting tossed. Little did they know what arse kicking was to come.

Y'alls age is encouraging. I would definitely lump sum into low costs broad market ETFS let it ride for the next 20 years. Any savings for college?
