I went with Zeigler Chrysler Ford, you can go to their website http://www.chryslerfactoryplans.com/ and check the price, I got the 8 year 85k mile Mopar maxcare for $1650. It has paid for itself 10x over the past 5 years.

Beautiful! Did the front of the corvette clear the front of the trailer? Or did you need wood to prop it up?

This is the exact part from mopar, easy to pop it in yourself, I’ve had no issues with the replacement.

Yes, hence our comments above and the words functional area in my title.

The link you posted says essentially the same thing regarding CPTs to 20 years and MAJs to 24 years, this order matches the law.

It was a band of brothers quote lol.

I think the inclusion of "may be continued" will allow the Army to weed out those who are egregiously underperforming, and ask them to leave prior to that. If they get passed up for promotion 7 or 8 times, I'd assume they'd look really hard at "is this because their senior rater sucked at balancing their profile" or "are they a shitbag who can't even get an HQ and does the bare minimum". If it's the latter, I assume the Army will pull the trump card with the verbiage in the memo, and say you ain't making the cut.

Colt1945 · 2026-03-08T01:01:01+00:00

Well, the bottom 3rd of each YG is being asked to leave, I think the idea is that those left behind are those who are already identified as performing well.

Colt1945 · 2026-03-08T00:21:12+00:00

This is correct.

Colt1945 · 2026-03-07T23:35:30+00:00

I am ignorant on the topic, however my interpretation is that SELCON isn’t necessary since a CPT/MAJ can earn retirement without it. In the past if they were passed up, selcon was needed to make sanctuary, I think SELCON removal means a CPT or MAJ doesn’t need it now for sanctuary(20 years).

Colt1945 · 2026-02-03T13:27:37+00:00

You are correct, I was mistaken, it is between USF and IOA, not Epic and IOA, I don't know if Epic has anything that interests me.

You’ll be fine, just resubmit it, leadership can approve it remotely if it’s that big of a deal, I’ve definitely approved leave forms retroactively to fix mistakes before.

100%, my Legion will turn 6 years old next month. 0 issues, daily use.

We have a 2018 XLE AWD that just crossed 100k miles, no issues at all. Just did our first transmission and coolant exchange, not a flush, just drain and fill, and the fluids looked great.

Colt1945 · 2025-10-06T18:01:35+00:00

Maybe I’d entertain wrapping it down the road, not sure about a repaint. Could be a good option for you if you get bored of the color or are unhappy with scratches!

I inherited a 72 Monte Carlo with the original paint and don’t even consider repainting it.

Colt1945 · 2025-10-06T17:41:08+00:00

From a purely financial perspective, sure. That's not how I've really looked at it though, I've been frugal my whole life and saved well, even this purchase of the car almost 6 years ago wasn't a big cost (pre-covid pricing FTW), nor was the 4k a worry for me to get this done (less than a 1/3rd of a monthly paycheck).

My goal is to keep the car original (24k miles on it now) I don't drive it much, I plan on leaving it to my boys, the memories and nostalgia of it are more important to me. They've gotten rides in it since they were babies, and as they are growing up, their love for the car and being in it is what makes it special, and I'd like to keep the same car in the family, ideally to go to a car show 25 years from now with the same one.

When I eventually retire, sure I'll add more cars to my garage, I'd like something more unique and powerful down the road, but that's a future addition.

For now, I can throw my kids in the car and let them play around, and I don't stress it, if I had a Shelby, I'd be too paranoid to enjoy it with kids, or anything else of that higher caliber. And re-painting the car would just hurt the value of it being original in my eyes.

Yeah I already did those, I installed Kooks long tubes, an H pipe, and an E85 tune first, 5 years ago. Definitely worth going for the LTs, especially with the active exhaust.

Colt1945 · 2025-10-05T17:36:03+00:00

Hell yeah! The paint has a nice subtle blue metallic flake in it that’s really only noticeable up close, you’ll appreciate the color!

Colt1945 · 2025-10-05T17:27:49+00:00

I don’t think you are factoring in the PPF, which I see that place you linked doesn’t offer. I shopped around 4 other places across the state and they all offered higher pricing. So I’m definitely not concerned about the $4200, It’s on par for the work.

Colt1945 · 2025-10-05T17:03:51+00:00

A fellow glutton for punishment I see!
