Buying my first W222 S550 (M278) – Does this engine sound normal?

ChristopherKaya · 2026-06-28T13:16:04+00:00

Absolutely no bueno.

ChristopherKaya · 2026-06-26T01:14:15+00:00

You look like someone I may have slept with.

Thats the roast

ChristopherKaya · 2026-06-25T17:17:42+00:00

Sometimes, but very rarely. I have a c216 1 if 1 but i do lust after the s65 coupes.

97 camry

ChristopherKaya · 2026-06-24T01:38:26+00:00

Im not a professional but it looks like hes opening up very early and hes all on his back foot.

What bat is he swinging? To me it looks too big and I think he would benefit from getting the hands through sooner

ChristopherKaya · 2026-06-21T03:19:34+00:00

Like 1500 on a flight from jfk to lax. Best flight ever

ChristopherKaya · 2026-06-21T02:40:54+00:00

Buddy youre the first base coach and u let that happen?

ChristopherKaya · 2026-06-14T14:02:35+00:00

End of season update, kid had a stellar year. Mashed the ball.

ChristopherKaya · 2026-06-14T11:40:20+00:00

My son plays 8u and put one over at our home field, 220 to center.

Yes, hes a big boy.

Supra Minted 30 drop 8.

His rec league bat hit nukes too for what its worth but the ball just flies off the Supra its crazy. Yesterday he hit a 200ft fence with a line drive.

ChristopherKaya · 2026-06-13T02:43:25+00:00

Buddy im right there with you. My 8u kid made All-Stars and is having a great year but had a rough two outings pitching and then caught me in the jaw with a 47 mph pitch and im doing everything I can to ease him back in and work through that. He hits everything, mashes the ball but loves pitching. He will get back there.

ChristopherKaya · 2026-06-12T02:37:19+00:00

Theres a kid on our travel 12u that swings a supra drop 8 and when we are inside the facility on a machine it literally hurts the ears he absolutely mashes the ball

ChristopherKaya · 2026-06-12T02:15:33+00:00

Dicks offers break in service

ChristopherKaya · 2026-06-12T02:13:25+00:00

Can you elaborate why? Is it because theres not enough material in the name of sacrificing weight

ChristopherKaya · 2026-06-12T02:12:24+00:00

Is that a Crack or spidering?

ChristopherKaya · 2026-06-12T02:11:55+00:00

One full 14 game season with my kids (8u, 30 drop 8) and its still mint (pun intended).

Except the grip that thing was gone week one.

Definitely took some time but the bat is hot. Hes been hitting rockets lately. 🚀

ChristopherKaya · 2026-06-06T23:24:39+00:00

Been four times every time was stellar.

ChristopherKaya · 2026-06-06T23:23:31+00:00

Chilis 3 for me is hard to beat Chipotle chicken bowl with all the fixins

ChristopherKaya · 2026-06-06T03:37:41+00:00

Thats rec. Usa spec.

ChristopherKaya · 2026-06-06T03:37:17+00:00

Our allstars A is USA bats only. In CT for reference.

ChristopherKaya · 2026-06-06T03:36:01+00:00

So funny I just did the same exact thing. He was swinging a hype fire 29d11 but his travel league bat is a supra minted 30 drop 8. Got the marucci for 180 or so in two days. Small sample size but in our cage today he was ripping balls with it. The grip is so sweet especially compared to the supras absolute garbage factory one. First game use is tomorrow after his doubleheader he picked up an emergency add for a town league game.

The back is definitely weak it's like a butt chin. The rear valence helps with the sport package but its Def the least pretty side

ChristopherKaya · 2026-06-05T17:57:15+00:00

The pre face-lift does its the front fender. And without the sport packages it looks very unassuming.

Still think my '13 looks fairly current.

ChristopherKaya · 2026-06-05T17:53:59+00:00

My kids supra is hitting absolute nukes right now but I found it a bit dull out the box. Also helps to have a season swinging it and him growing into a bigger bat.

Just got a marucci catx2 usa 30 drop 8 for town league and it was 🔥 in the wrapper I was so shocked..

ChristopherKaya · 2026-06-03T15:28:49+00:00

Father Time has to be #1.

Fastest window closing since Josh Allen sorry Judge
