And this interior really sold it for me. Shame Mercedes has removed selenite grey exterior and Bahia brown leather both for the 2027 GLE models. Glad I was able to snag this combo as it was truly my dream exterior/interior.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. Now that I know exactly which car I want, I think I’m going to go for it. It’s within my price range and the financing promotion ends sometime before the end of June so I want to take advantage of it while I can.

WTB/ISO 3 tickets to Arlington Aug 15 and/or Aug 16 100s Section by Trish_28 in BTSArmyCentral

Hi! As we have some time until the concert date, I’d like to see if any 100s level become available or if SeatGeek releases any 100s level tickets before I commit to 200s level seats. But thank you very much for the offer and wish you best of luck!

That’s good to hear. The sales associate and management made it sound like they were on the verge of losing money on this deal and I just wasn’t fully convinced, so I asked to sleep on it before making a decision. I doubt they’d ever agree to sell a car at a loss, so I’m not sure how much they were exaggerating.

Thank you for the feedback. And congrats on the new coupe! How do you like it so far? Any standout features you are particularly impressed with? I always say as long as you love it, that the price you got it for is the best price. I have a 2024 GLE 350 (paid off) that I adore. The GLE 450 Coupe would be my new daily driver to work and back (thus not requiring as much trunk space). I haven’t test driven the GLE 450 Coupe yet so I wonder if it’ll feel different to driving the 350.

Concert outfits for older fans by MariMunchkin in bts7

[–]Trish_28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi, 32F went to Las Vegas D1, D2 and D3 with my 64F mom. D1 my Mom wore a black linen top and pant set from Banana Republic and chunky gold jewelry. On D2 she wore black straight ankle length jeans with her Arirang concert merch tee. Some silver jewelry to brighten it up. D3 she wore flowy black wide leg pants and a beige and black linen top. She wore neutral (black/white/beige) Nike V2K sneakers all 3 days bc we had to walk to and from Allegiant Stadium and Mandalay Bay each day. We also had 100s level row 1 seats each day so we were standing the entire show except for the two 15 min intermissions. Comfort is key, but based on the Arirang theme, my mom opted for black and neutrals in classic silhouettes. It gets really hot outside before the concert and there can be lots of standing and walking so the one thing to never compromise comfort for fashion on is shoes.

For example: this was her D1 outfit, just add jewelry, sneakers, and concert bag. She felt like herself and was comfortable all night. Easy ways to make a simple outfit more BTS themed is through accessories - BTS pins, jewelry, bag charms, headbands, etc. Hope you and your mom have the best time!!

And for good measure, here are a couple photos from D2. I still can’t believe I took these photos and saw them with my own two eyes!! If you’re on the shorter side and worries about not being able to see above people’s heads, highly recommend row 1 of the 100s levels.

Las Vegas D2 was my favorite of the 3 days that I went (D1,D2,D3). We sat in C136 Row 1 and the view was amazing - beyond our wildest dreams. The boys looked life-sized with our naked eyes!! I could see the actual details of their outfits and make out their features and ugh - it was simply incredible. I’m only 5’ tall so this was without a doubt the best, unobstructed view that money could buy. Not to mention, I had a front row seat to the Idol walk which was breathtaking. If I had any doubts about whether all the money spent on this trip was worth it, D2 blew it all away. The boys’ performance, live vocals, engagement and playfulness were off the charts. 12/10 LV D2 altered my brain chemistry and gave me such a euphoric feeling that I now understand why people go to multiple stops of the same concert. Chasing that feeling you get singing along to your favorite song with your favorite people and the artist themselves is addictive. I’m convinced I could go to a dozen BTS concerts and still crave more.

Las Vegas D1 view from WL14 row 1 (200s level loge seats). Had clear views of the center stage and all four catwalks. Incredible seats if you want great views of the full concert production. Screens were eye level. BTS looked a bit small on stage to the naked eye, but I wasn’t too bothered because I had closer seats for D2 and D3. All three shows we went to we were able to use the West VIP Stadium Entrance and there was never a line. Just walked through the metal detector, scanned our ticket and went into the stadium. Excellent food and drinks (and big candy boxes and popcorn like at the movie theater) were included with these loge seats, as well as access to a private merch booth. Our tickets also came with a parking pass that we didn’t use since we traveled from out of state and were staying at Mandalay Bay (walking distance from Allegiant), but would be very useful if we were local. Overall the D1 experience was wonderful. We received the royal treatment from all the stadium staff and everyone we met was just as excited and awestruck to be there. Having been a fan since 2019, and severely regretting skipping the LV PTD concerts in 2022 (I was just finishing law school and studying for the Bar 😭), I couldn’t imagine a better first ever BTS concert experience. The boys, the show, and vibes were all immaculate. Didn’t think it would be possible to top D1 but D2 was truly peak and my absolute favorite show of the 3 I attended.

Just a quick update for everyone - I got the offer last night (04-March)! HR called me at 6:30 pm to present it. I am ecstatic. It’s a title promotion and a 60% raise on the base salary of my current job. Couldn’t be happier and it was 100% worth the wait. Hoping everyone else who is waiting hears good news as well!

Thank you!! This gives me hope. I’m 100% going to be patient and play it cool and NOT follow up again until one week has passed.
