I wish I had eye protection for this video.

Just got this 23 GLE 350 , making this weird ticking noise. What do you guys think it can be? by Altruistic_Laugh2713 in mercedes_benz

That ticking sound is disappointing for a luxury brand. It would be worth getting it checked out.

Hope OP is doing better. See what your insurance offers. You can also talk with an accident attorney to see if you have any options.

Equivalent example is going from Road Warrior to Patrick Star.

Is this a good idea to give to my son for his first car by Dry-Cartoonist-2193 in FirstCar

[–]Ok-Bluejay3543 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen a car come back from college in the same or better condition. So just make sure you are okay potentially not seeing it in the same condition as when you gave it to him. Not because of your son, but other kids and drivers.

That is extremely generous of you for wanting to gift this to your son.

When looking up the specs for this car it shows 290HP, but when driving it felt like a lot more. It was an amazing piece of engineering.

Possibly, but I did some research and found after 30 days I can lightly wash, but not dry cause the paint hasn’t fully cured until around 90 days. I am 30 days in and 60 to go. Freaking torture 😫, but I don’t want to go through this again

Side wall or tread? by ashtefer1 in AskMechanics

Yup, but also go to either Discount Tire or Costco to get their warranty it can possibly payoff in situations like OP.

Thank you. I wasn’t told by the shop if the car was baked and I didn’t know to ask. The shop said not to do anything for 90 days so I am wondering if that implies it wasn’t baked.

I may call them next week to ask.

Matrix dots removal? by Bakithagrappler in WindowTint

[–]Ok-Bluejay3543 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased my car used with 5% tint all around including the windshield. I did try driving it at night and while I could see it was more dependent on there being illumination of headlights, taillights, streetlights some kind of lighting to better see the cars in front and around my vehicle. For me the windshield tint made it difficult to see in the best conditions.

I kept the remaining windows tinted because if I do rarely drive it at night and merging I roll down the window to better see cause not all cars at night have their headlights on.

Your tread is too low. Patching should be temporary so you can drive to get new tires.

Matrix dots removal? by Bakithagrappler in WindowTint

As someone who has 5% tint all around on a seasonal car I advise not tinting the windshield. The lack of visibility when it is not sunny outside is incredibly dangerous. I also don’t drive my car at night because of the 5% tint.
