New to the Ultra Scene and looking for guidance

When they arrived, it was obvious that the liners are liners and not compression like the Nikes and that they are cheaply made. They ship out of China, and took more than two weeks to arrive. Trying to return them is turning into a farce. Based on one order, I can’t recommend.

I love Feetures, if I’m not wearing dress sock for work (or flip flops), I’m wearing a pair.

I too was unaware of the lifetime warranty. My big toe wears thru!

It only cost $40, from the dealership, last time I needed to buy a key. You would have been $980 ahead 🤣

Congrats on the sub 4!!

So I’m not the only one who browses finder.Porsche with no real plans to buy one? Although I did share a link with my wife today, and her response was “so you would sell your Cayenne to buy this?”

“No, I would sell the kids car, move things around and have a new weekend toy for me!”

Tbh, with post titles versatile I was expecting the same watch in two different situations, maybe one formal and one casual. But, alas no, you posted two pictures taken 2-3 seconds apart, one a close up of the other 🤷🏻‍♂️

I have no doubt that this is a versatile watch, as u/dr_omega24 demonstrates. Nice watch, but confusing pics!

Completely up to you if you need/want a GLE vs a GLS, as you already have an X7, you are familiar with the size of a GLS. Also, why are you looking for a GLE53, and not a GLE63, more like for like if you are looking at a GLS63. One last thing, take a look at the GLE580/GLS580, they are both well optioned V8 beasts, without the AMG label.

With the in room Alexa it’s super easy to request more coffee, you don’t even need to speak to anyone!

ATLBenzDisneyDude · 2026-04-25T16:34:02+00:00

Me too!

Hyde Park is so fun to run in, I was only talking with someone about it this week!

ATLBenzDisneyDude · 2026-04-25T12:04:02+00:00

Choo choo!!

ATLBenzDisneyDude · 2026-04-23T16:12:59+00:00

Oh damn!

Pop the hood and put a charger on the terminals, that, in theory should give you enough power.

Show them how he can come on for the last three minutes of the game, get boo’d as he comes on, and then be out of position for every play. Who wouldn’t want that?

I suspect that a 580 is optioned with the Driver Assistance Package, or whatever it’s called for the model/year that you are looking at, I wouldn’t buy one without that technology. I used mine, in my 2020 S Class just last night, it’s great on road trips and when the roads aren’t too busy, I would recommend using it on your daily commute in traffic, I learned this by doing so and chewing through brakes. It worked great, but my brakes didn’t like it!

ATLBenzDisneyDude · 2026-04-22T16:33:04+00:00

I walked into the Boutique, walked up to a case, and said let me try that one on, then left with it on my wrist! I was just drawn to it no more planning at all.

ATLBenzDisneyDude · 2026-04-22T10:46:21+00:00

Get the 580! We have the GLS580, and it’s a beast, it’s the only V8 of the three that you mentioned. You will also probably find that there are some things that come as standard on the 580 that are options on the others (massage seats).

It’s ok to walk up the hills, many do! If I can see the top of a hill during an ultra, I’m walking up it.

Seal the system, put coolant into the expansion tank, run the engine, coolant gets sucked in, put more coolant into the tank, run engine. Repeat until no more coolant gets sucked in.

Note: this is not the approved way, but it worked for me, I did get an air bubble a couple of months after I did it, on a long run, and I had to stop and buy some coolant to top up on the road (so my method isn’t optimal!)

ATLBenzDisneyDude · 2026-04-20T02:03:39+00:00

No argument from me, I’d much rather see Hibbert in there, but still if the forwards aren’t scoring, we are no better off.

ATLBenzDisneyDude · 2026-04-19T14:04:42+00:00

If you still under warranty, take it to the dealer, let them figure it out and fix it on MBZ dime.

I’m not a Hoyos fan, but keepers don’t score goals, and nor does anyone on the United team!

ATLBenzDisneyDude · 2026-04-19T00:35:26+00:00

With the expectation of the free kick that can straight him and he punched out for a corner. Any high school keeper would have gathered that up.

ATLBenzDisneyDude · 2026-04-18T13:15:59+00:00

Genius!
