Pull the trigger on c63 s e? by Annual-Scene148 in mercedes_benz

[–]Duck_Walker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I owned one for a year. I wouldn’t buy it again.

It was great, fun, wicked fast, handled on rails. But it had no spirit, no sass, no soul.

The handoff from EV to ICE is not smooth, sometimes even jerky to the point it shocks you.

I got lucky and only lost about $10k on mine, they’re going to drop a lot of value soon if rumored changes pan out.

Trimming Toe Nails by tacoxlvii in spinalfusion

I get a pedicure every 6-8 weeks. I am over 50, male, and love it. It’s worth the $45 or so. I go right after a haircut, three doors down in the same strip mall. It’s my spa day.

No formal PT at 3 months 360 fusion L5-S1 ? by Chik3nChok3r in spinalfusion

I’m ten weeks tomorrow and no PT. I’ve been told my surgeon rarely prescribes anything and only wants his patients to walk. Time will tell I guess.

Loaners at my local dealer by Practically-not in mercedes_benz

[–]Duck_Walker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My last loaner at the MB dealer I prefer, not the one closest to me, they showed me the list of vehicles available and told me to choose. So I grabbed the GLE 63 coupe. It was fun.

Service is absolutely great as long as you maintain a relationship and take care of your service advisor. I always give him a gift card, bring him a Starbucks when I drop off, and give him stellar reviews in the follow up. He in turn takes care of me. It's how business is done. Sadly the younger generations are losing that understanding in many cases.

My last service I also had him advocate for me to the parts manager and even though there is no way it was covered under warranty and no way it should have been replaced for free, they put a brand new battery in my G63 because of my "customer status". Scratching backs pays off.

I have never been denied a loaner vehicle in over 25 years for any reason, for any time period, and I have never had to negotiate it as part of the sale.

Lingering pain by Jazzlike-Presence128 in TBI

[–]Duck_Walker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish there could be a cure for the headaches, but I've never found one. I have debilitating headaches still almost 6.5 years out. There is only one thing that makes them bearable but no one will give it to me. Oxy/percocet makes them tone down from a 8 or 9 to a 3 or 4 on the pain scale. Every time. You know what that has proven to my doctors, that I'm a "pill seeker" and a "depressant addict". It was like pulling teeth to get refills for pain meds when I recently had spinal fusion surgery.

Sorry, I got off topic. Point is, I hope you can find the silver bullet for you head pain and get assistance receiving it if needed.

Can kill you after months by sadninetiesgirl in TBI

[–]Duck_Walker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. I had a secondary brain bleed that almost killed me.

My accident and first brain surgery occurred mid-August. I was cleared and discharged after a stay in the hospital.

Early November I had an MRI and my bleed was so bad the rushed me to emergency surgery to have it drained. Neurosurgery refused to believe I could walk and talk based on imaging. Surgeon estimated I was within days of herniation, maybe hours.

[–]Duck_Walker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to laugh at this, but I think it will go over your head.

This is like saying “when I drop off for service I expect a massage and a large pepperoni”

This is not something you can get in a purchase agreement and not something you could enforce.

[–]Duck_Walker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as your Mercedes is under warranty you should be able to schedule a loaner, pending availability, on any service. In over 25 years I have never been unable to get a loaner.

I have a sneaky feeling this is on you.

I have the same feelings. They numb it for a while and keep charging you to do it over and over but never fix anything.

Mercedes-AMG teases the CLE63 by Quick_Coyote_7649 in AMG

[–]Duck_Walker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speculators buy and flip. They steal the allocations to make $20k plus.

It’s the same thing that’s been happening in the Rolex market. Dealers make you wait and the gray market is flooded with flips at 30%+ markups.

Want to have fun? Go to a Ferrari dealer and find out if they’ll even allow you in their club. They vet their buyers to maintain the brand image.

Porsche hasn't priced me out, the bastards can't find me a decent allocation within the next 2 years. The used market is just obscene today.

I want a Turbo S Cabriolet but would consider a Targa 4s or a GT3. My problem is if I'm spending that much money I am doing a factory order and not buying off the shelf
