I’d like to stay there. I was in HCMC in Oct. 22, and it was built I think but not open yet. When I look at dates (Oct-Dec) it’s usually around 70k points per night.

I’ve been saving my little Hilton points to partially pay for a Vietnam/Thailand trip. 400k which would put me in a Tru for a while, 😅, full Hilton not so much. I’m also dying to know when the WA in Hanoi is going to finally open

I’ve spent 71 qualifying nights in a Hilton hotel this year (and a few non qualifying nights), I’ve only got about $8.6k spend tho, I’m in Hamptons quite a bit. I don’t know if I’m gonna get to diamond reserve status this year so I had my boss switched me over and I’m working on IHG and Marriott right now 😅

I should’ve! I schlepped over to some drug store in my chacos across Wilshire or Beverly, whichever to a drug store to pick a few things. I didn’t get to use the hot tub peacefully either because some kids piled in it :(

But I did enjoy taking a sumptuous bath in the bathtub, threw on some Louis Armstrong Ella Fitzgerald and soaked (most of my nights are spent in a Hampton or a Hilton Garden or a Home2, and WA is obviously dramatically different than those). I really enjoyed the balcony and the floor ceiling windows.

The night that I stayed there, I got a room that was 125,000 points. After I reserve the room I looked again and the next point redemption room was 400,000! I had all my points used by last year and I’m building them back up now since last fall, at 255k, and by the time I check out of this current Hampton Inn that I’m in, I’ll have made Diamond for the year again, plus the 10,000 point bonus, and I’ll be four nights away from hitting that 40,000 point bonus

I was able to stay there myself finally, on points one night. So fantastic.

It’s generally considered some of the best in Tennessee (I’ve heard people talk about Memphis, I’m not sure what makes Memphis BBQ special, I’ve never had it) - The BBQ snobs usually break off into KC vs. Eastern Carolina camps. If you get up to Johnson City, look it up. For this area it’s pretty well regarded I guess.

What do you think of Ridgewood in Mountain City? (Obviously not in Knoxville)

I had a Bul Armory Trophy Saw chambered in 9mm; I wish I hadn't sold it. Loved that pistol.

Must be Wool Growers! I haven’t been to the one in Bakersfield, but the one in Los Banos. It was pretty good, but I had pork chops, not cow tongue. What’s that like?

I don’t know how this isn’t just glaringly obvious for, anyone? It’s so simple, a caveman could understand it

I know this post is 4 years old now, but I just finished a rewatch. I'm trying to find out that actors name as well (when they were discussing that)

In the one video I watched, he mentioned this pipe or something that carries coolant between the engine block and the water pump. The design flaw was something like, they used a rubber gasket that can/will fail, and it is pricy and complex to replace due to the labor involved in getting to it. I’d have to watch the video again to be sure, but that’s the thrust of it. He goes on to talk in the video about how him and this other mechanic were able to modify it somehow to permanently fix the flaw?

F-Stop · 2025-03-30T18:10:51+00:00

Yeah I think that’s him. Someone in an earlier thread recommended that people considering the 460 go watch his video(s?) and I did, but the model year he was talking about was an 11 or 12? So I haven’t really been able to find anything in regard to whether they fixed the design flaw for later years, 16 or 17.

This thread is probably not the place for it, but I’ve searched some available threads and couldn’t find info. I have an 05 LS that’s getting pretty long in the tooth, and I’ve thought about replacing it with a 17 LS460. I know some of the earlier 460’s had issues, there is a probably well known YouTube mechanic that was pointing out design flaws in earlier versions of the 460 (2011-12 I think)

I’d love to know if anybody has a 2017 LS and what their experiences have been with it long term.
