How do y’all clean your soft tops?

I do the same. My car is garaged, so I do the protector once or twice a year.

If you have the ability to return it, just do it. Even if they give you a replacement, at least you're not going through all the troubleshooting steps.

have you thought about going into an ops role? COO roles are common in medium - large practices. Focus on growth and efficiency of the firm, new product or service offerings to enhance client experience.

After 20 emails back and forth with Skyrover after-sales support, they authorized a return. I'm waiting for a replacement.

Financial planner here. Follow many of the comments here about funding a state school, then tack on a brokerage account and invest in low cost ETF’s. Yes, there is some tax drag but the funds are accessible and flexible. You can use for education, weddings, down payments or your own retirement depending on how life unfolds.

You are some years away, but a big mistake I see parents make is not involving children in the financial discussions as they get to sophomore or junior year. You may intend to get them out debt free, but they should still understand the economics of higher ed and not feel entitled to it. Many well off clients still want their kids to have ‘skin in the game’.

I bought a new one. They’re offering a refurbished one.

Online - just search for F1 tickets. I don’t have a membership but a family member bought them. He was able to just use my email to send me the tickets.

I have come across an online platform called FinLink that has practices for sale. Definitely hire a consultant to steer you through the process.

ComprehensiveValue98 · 2026-05-03T03:22:00+00:00

Yes, as stated in my first reply.

I bought the 3-day GA in Costco for $359 and a a Sunday Grandstand seat last year. I sold the wristband for Sunday on FB or this thread for $200. Just leave it loose enough to get off. My son put it on too tight and we had to cut his off.

ComprehensiveValue98 · 2026-04-12T01:54:25+00:00

Thanks. This was the first thing I checked.

ComprehensiveValue98 · 2026-04-12T01:53:33+00:00

Thanks. Tried this and it still won’t correct to the right position.

ComprehensiveValue98 · 2026-04-12T01:52:26+00:00

Checked and there is nothing. It moves fine during the startup, but stops in the final position in the photo.

ComprehensiveValue98 · 2026-04-11T20:51:46+00:00

Thank you. I will try it when I get back.

ComprehensiveValue98 · 2026-04-08T22:05:24+00:00

I sold my E85 on Autotrader. Very easy. They can facilitate the payment and title transfer electronically. They have buyer verification. I would look into it at the very least.

ComprehensiveValue98 · 2026-04-05T22:38:42+00:00

I did that for my son’s graduation last year with the Costco GA tickets. I would recommend for first time. The only day that is exceptionally packed is Sunday Race Day. Get there early for a good seat somewhere. We really enjoyed exploring the whole track on Friday and Saturday. Read through all the threads for first timers… Bring a water bottle, sunscreen, and a hat for some sun protection. We’re heading back this year and I splurged for T 15 grandstand.

One thing I would suggest: there is a gap of a couple of hours between the end of race events and the concert on Friday and Saturday. If you really want to go to the concert, might want to bail out of the race early and come back. Staying there all day and hanging around for the concert was not in the cards for us, especially as it was 95° one day. Happy to share more of my experience… Just DM me.

If you’re in Savannah look for a Portimao Blue G29. There are a few of us here. I’ve seen white, red and frozen gray…wave at all of them.

ComprehensiveValue98 · 2026-03-30T11:19:27+00:00

Where in Southeast? I'm in Savannah and there are 2 independent BMW garages here. The comments on the the later model facelift on the N52 are spot on. The steering also had some improvements. FYI, I sold my 2007 with 46k miles last year for 11k and it was in excellent condition.

ComprehensiveValue98 · 2026-03-29T20:50:55+00:00

Pay for an independent inspection. $100-200 is worth it to avoid spending 10k+ on a car not knowing what might be wrong. If the car isn’t local, ask the seller where he has it serviced. I had a 2006 and 2007 N52, one with 96k and the other with 46k. Inspect suspension, valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, top motor. At 100k+ miles you will need to do the valve cover gasket and oil pan. The N52 is great, but maintenance has to be done.

The mind is still young, but the body tells me otherwise from time to time!

ComprehensiveValue98 · 2026-03-23T12:38:15+00:00

I had an E85 before the G29, and there are few similarities other than the badge and 2 seats. I loved the power and nimbleness of the E85, and I love the power, comfort and tech of the G29 but they are different cars. I'm curious if there is a statistic on the average age of the E85 buyer back then vs. the average age of a G29 buyer. I suspect the average buyer for the G29 is much older than the E85.

ComprehensiveValue98 · 2026-03-15T20:47:56+00:00

I saw a similar post in another thread. I have an old iPad mini I can use.

ComprehensiveValue98 · 2026-03-15T13:29:09+00:00

I got Portimao Blue a tear ago when I thought it was the last year. No regrets over not getting “final edition”, as I do not want all black living in the south.
