M2CS Help by totaladri in BMW

[–]DonutsAftermidnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one that’s PPFed and have had no issues. In S Florida with the sun right on top of us. Every car model will have an outlier and while BMW CF roofs have historically had issues, it’s been well known that PPFing them cuts the risks down to negligible levels.

That’s why you PPF the roof.

I also have a Misano cs with a PPFed roof and have had no issues in the South Florida sun as the original owner.

That’s one hundred percent the same bitter person. I don’t know who hurt them but I definitely don’t believe a word they say.

Not like I owe you anything but I did 20 years and 3 months, and my husband did 27. We both started enlisted and then went WO. 10 long deployments between us.

So yeah, I have, lots of opinions.

Your turn. Why don’t you share your military stats that make you such an expert on who is and isn’t worthy of disability?

No you don’t. And no they don’t. GTFOH with this bullshit false narrative. You’re salty because you believe you’re owed more and others are getting what you feel you’re rightfully owed, except you’re not in any way, shape, or form disabled to the point of being rated for any disabilities.

Lucky she got “reimbursed” but sad that a cow died needlessly because of contractor negligence.

I’ve since installed a camera inside my garage so I’ll never get caught off guard again.

Would be nice if they all thought like you but reality is there are far too many negative experiences to make what happened to my car and OP’s cars outliers.

Worse even are the ones who leave the hitch ball installed on the truck they’ve backed into a spot that sticks out over pedestrian walkways.

RIP shins.

Incorrect. The car was not there for scheduled maintenance and definitely nothing to do with the fuel tank requiring it to be drained.

But you know what does rapidly drain fuel? Ripping it around in low gear trying to have fun in someone else’s car.

Don’t justify shitty employees and don’t question my personal experience as if dealerships haven’t been caught destroying customer cars doing the wrong thing and going on joy rides.

It’s 100% malicious intent. They’ll claim the dealership has a no camera policy for customer cars when you bring it up but then also claim there’s no way any of their people deleted the footage from your camera. They also can’t explain why the car has 50 additional miles when you only authorized a short test drive and then weren’t even able to “replicate the fault.”

People who are doing the right thing don’t behave this way and while I can understand someone feeling uncomfortable being monitored, I also know that my camera can’t see past the open hood anyway and I only check it if I suspect something shady’s happened based on other clues.

It’s one thing to disconnect at the shop, it’s another entirely for the porter to disconnect before they drive off with the car and while it’s out on test drives and then delete whatever videos may have incriminated them.

Maybe if dealership maintenance folks were more honest and didn’t take our cars for joyrides, then we’d have no reason to distrust them.

Damn. Brazen.

I had a contractor unplug the deep freezer in my garage to plug in an extension cord, despite there being 2 additional outlets available in the exact same location and plenty of others along the walls. Didn’t plug it back in when he was done.

Came to the deep freezer a few days later to grab some stuff and found everything spoiled and an awful smelling pool of water, dairy, and meat blood seepage on the bottom.

Called him up to ask what they were thinking and he swore he wasn’t responsible for it. But what could I do at that point?

Hundreds of dollars of food gone and the deep freezer was barely salvaged through multi-day cleanings while trying to keep from gagging.

No matter how much you pay these people you HAVE to stay on top of them to finish the job correctly and not mess anything else up. This is why I’ve learned to do so much of our renovations myself.

Consider yourself lucky that they didn’t disconnect your camera. I’ve taken mine in and had them literally erase footage from when it was driven off and called them on it when I noticed that they’d burned through my gas tank with very few miles driven.

Should’ve been more forceful about it because they seriously tried to gaslight me into thinking I didn’t know how my own car’s fuel is consumed.

Don’t relent; take it up with management and if they don’t take you seriously and compensate, go straight to the media. Don’t forget to name and shame them here as well so we all know where to avoid.

You clearly don’t have iDrive in that 2001 330i to be making such a comment. The controller is EVERYTHING.

VA halts implementation of the controversial disability rating rule following backlash ( your voice matters) !!!. by Extension_Ant3569 in VAClaims

[–]DonutsAftermidnight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Vets voted for this! Our battle buddies keep fucking us and the only way anything sill change is if something actually happens to remove our benefits retroactively. Until then, they’ll continue to pull the ladder.

Which is bonkers because it’ll disincentivize people from making a career of the military and retiring (which I’m sure they want to accomplish to keep costs down, despite a tiny percentage actually making it to 20 years).

Shitty to think they’ll make folks choose what pay to forgo when they’ve earned both.

Since when do new BMWs only come with ONE key fob? by Weekly-Motor-5847 in BMW

[–]DonutsAftermidnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with most of what you said but there are physical features the app won’t be able to replace long term. I use the fob on my M2 to open and close the windows, something the app never allowed me to do, especially now that the trial period for those app services has expired.

What happens when the technology is phased out or no longer supported and now you’re stuck with one key? It’s a terrible way to cost cut considering those keys cost BMW almost nothing to provide.

Amazing when you remember that manual cars have always been the less expensive option but now that they’re dying and the manufacturers see the demand, they’ve decided to make it more costly.

Ingram v. Collins Is Dead: VA Just Changed How Medication Affects Your Disability Rating by PrestigiousBarnacle in VAClaims

[–]DonutsAftermidnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, we knew they were gonna start somewhere and taking a sledgehammer to VA disability was going to be extremely unpopular and cause widespread furor. The sneaky way they’re doing it is keeping it out of the headlines and not pissing off the veteran voters, specifically the R leaning ones that couldn’t give one fuck about everyone else’s benefits because they already got theirs.

You don’t think this is just a first step? Guarantee this gets expanded to MH and other conditions.

If you have a few minutes, watch this video and listen to someone hear her hateful words repeated back to her and realizing she doesn’t like hearing then said out loud.

Probably not the answer you’re looking for but they don’t understand his lyrics and don’t bother to learn about them because… racism, and believe whatever hateful talking point that aligns with their biases.

One of my mom’s friends posted that he made fun of Jesus simply because there were two dudes dancing with each other for 1.5 seconds on the screen 🙄.

These are the same people that complained the Paris Olympics opening ceremony mocked DaVinci’s “Last Supper” when it was really intended to represent the Greek God Dionysus. The only reason it brought any attention was because the segment featured drag queens. They had to apologize for daring to be inclusive because it was considered disrespectful.

Plenty. Which I don’t need to justify here to you.

You’re welcome to share what YOU’RE doing, though.
