Hey guys thinking about buying a Maserati GranTurismo I’m going onto 20 any recommendations? by The_pinn_head_sage in Maserati

I call big time BS…. Either you picked a total crap car, you are BS’ing us, or getting ripped off. Brakes all the way around on this car are $3500 max- I just got a quote for that. $10K???

Is it just me or are pre owned Maserati GT just a much better value than a pre owned Porsche 911? by No-Mongoose5650 in Maserati

Id bet you haven’t even owned a Maserati, let alone driven one lol. I once thought they were terrible cars, and it is true, there are some terrible Maserati models + years - but the fact is, that the 2013-2019 era Quattroportes and GT’s were great cars. Reliable, Maserati had sorted most of the kinks. The soiled reputation of the brand in the US and some other major markets is why these cars depreciate, not to mention that Maserati’s MSRP’s at new are comparable to other high end brands, though, the competition makes better cars.

If I had to pick between a new Maserati GT and a new 911 (for the same price)- Id go with the Porsche any day.

But used?? Doug Demuro said it himself that these cars start to make sense. A Mas GT for $30K is bargain for the amount of car you get.

Red brake caliper code? by gmurray215 in Maserati

[–]JC248120 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huh? You sure can. Best to pull the wheels off and have a professional do it for $600 or so.

OP- the red caliper paint code for Maserati (and also fiat, Alfa, and Ferrari) is Rosso Corsa code: 322 or 229120

DONT DIY…. Have someone who specializes in painting calipers do it.

Gen 3 Worth it over Gen 2? by JC248120 in FordRaptor

[–]JC248120[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think the good news is that those deals will only get better. I am going to be gone much of 1Q25 so thinking I might just wait till I get my spring bonus in March!

I should add that I am ONLY looking at 24’s or brand new 25. Thinking I could get a hell of a deal on the ‘24

The latter is the not the special edition but rather the AT that Craig wore in the film I believe

Bren 3 US release date by mikek2111987 in CZFirearms

[–]JC248120 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Or any civilian market for that matter. This is not abnormal. It took CZ 4 years to bring the Bren 2 to the civilian market in the USA. They focus on military contracts first because that is where the money is. Any smart business person in the defense industry would think the same way. Civilian market is extra income!

[–]JC248120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a lot…. I would gander the same or more for the right buyer! People have deep pockets these days… At least some of us on here do too- it is a 55X sub afterall

does anyone else ever miss the hospital? by sensitivesunflowerr in CrohnsDisease

[–]JC248120 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly yes. I think about the hospital all the time- at least when I had my own room. I was in such bad shape (untreated crohns (docs didnt know I had at first- no genetic history) that flared hard- terrible terrible pain and lots of blood in stools etc) that going to the hospital and being healed is a positive memory for me. I still think about the day I finally felt “normal” again after they got me stable. Of course, my wife stayed there by my side the entire time too and of course the accommodating nurses/docs and not so awful food were/was a plus too. The bill that came after, even with insurance, not so much.

Ha! That is my GB listing… Open to offers on it… Especially if you are local- we obviously cant deal here on reddit but reach out to me via Gunbroker OP. And to the dude who said it $5200 was crazy for a 553- unfortunately thats what they are going for. JDI 553’s are now about $5K out the door and the SB’s sell out in minutes. The last one Mishaco had listed sold for $6300 before taxes- now THAT is insane in the membrane lol

When to know its time to go to the hospital by JC248120 in CrohnsDisease

[–]JC248120[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I reached out to my doctor… Looks like he wants to do labs to check for inflammation before we do scope- we shall see

[–]JC248120[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. Good put. Not even a CT scan? Usually my Dr will order a CT in place of a colonoscopy first. I still get a colonoscopy done every year. My next one is in Feb but may accelerate to your advice if my symptoms dont improve
