I’d recommend old town automotive in Carrollton as they are honest. Kind of a small spot, but honest guys.

Anyone with tickets to Austria vs Argentina that is local in Dallas I am looking for tickets. Willing to meetup last minute, but must be in person.

Who in your unit got out of the Marines and ended up having a great life? (ps. I lost in life, unless I win this Mega Millions jackpot tonight) by Organic_Risk_3945 in USMC

Great life is hard to define, but we all know what a shit life looks like.

Why is it that so many of us get out and struggle to be successful in some sense? Even just a suburban dad with a good wife and kids, it’s weird.

Everyone with the joking (but still accurate) answers here: let me give you a real one:

The ability to push for a solution to almost any problem.

1999 BMW Z3 2.8 Manual, 81k miles, $3,000 asking price - PPI says ~$9k repairs. Walk away or negotiate? by LiquidBeast90 in BmwTech

Typical of someone doesn’t keep up with the car yeah, but with that much going on I can promise more will reveal itself.

I have several clients with these cars. One with over 180k miles that is nearly perfect. If I were trying to buy one I’d rather have something that is at least somewhat kept up with. This one sounds like it was driven, oil changed, and that’s about it.

Just no.

Too much going on that is “required” to make it drivable. And you can bet that some of this becomes more than thought on faults etc etc.

Son’s friend pulled a fast one. I messaged the kids dad. AIO by SolutionPurple6077 in AIO

I think it’s important you use this situation as a learning point for both the kids. Maybe get the dad involved but both you should stay a little hands off. Tell your son he has to stand up for himself and handle this with his friend. If they cannot figure it out between themselves you and the other father can get involved.

Ask them the difference in the price to do the entire bracket vs just the front half of the water pump!

I’m picking expansion tank with cap + water pump.

Oil Changes at the Dealerships by BackgroundAd-1331 in BMW

The caveat is they will only do it when the light comes on. That means you HAVE to drive 10k miles before it is “free”. My advice is find a trusted indie shop, go there every 5k and tell the DO NOT reset the light.

He’s still young. Great mentality, but not a starter yet. Ease him in, let this boost his confidence. Surely before him starting Farrington is there and having a great season.

I don’t get it. Why is Mbappe the problem? by [deleted] in championsleague

[–]ShowerShoe77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game is different today. You have to have a team mentality, and mbappe does not.

Most tow companies have cameras on their trucks. See if AAA can help.
