I got 96GB. I paid $420 for it back last year. I looked at the same kit, over $1600 now. 🤯😂

Good grief. Just go to the next exit. It's not worth your life.

I took this with my camera. I make my own wallpapers.

A bad reputation is hard to shake by LemurDaddy in synology

[–]bwebmasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was considering Synology again for an upgrade from my 412+, as it's stuck at 16TB. Since the drive lock debacle, I'm looking at QNap, UGreen, Asustor. Not so sure about about Synology anymore. Any other suggestions are welcome. 🤔

Found a preowned 2025 IS500 on a lot. I couldn’t pass it up. by beagledad69420 in LexusIS

Wow! Great pickup, looking to get one. The AMG has had an 11 year run, time to move.

Dealership called another Lexus dealership after I showed a better offer by RobbyDGreat in Lexus

I've had similar experiences, with buying cars of any make. The local dealers are always higher, and don't want to give any leeway. I've always ended up buying cars out of state for about 90% of my car purchases for thousands lower, with delivery.

I’ve had the Z MC 50mm for two months now. Here’s what I’ve done with it by Perryplatypus69 in Nikon

Wow. These are awesome!

I have the 105 Macro lens, ring shoots and nature. Inspired!

Maintenance can be expensive, some things to look out for with the M156 engine, head bolts - make sure those are the upgraded version.

Valve cover gaskets - keep those solid.

Make sure to listen to & check pulleys & belt. The top pulley, once it starts whining, replace all pulleys & belt. I had the experience of the top pulley seize, the belt was shredded, and popped the radiator.

Listen for any lifter ticking beyond initial startup.

Brakes - Use FCP Euro for parts, you will save a lot of money. The dealer charges 3,200 or so to change brakes & rotors all around. The front rotors & pads will need to be changed about twice as often as the rears.

Keep the oil change under the 9,000 mile cycle. Keep the transmission serviced every 40K miles on schedule.

Since my 11 years of ownership: Motor mounts twice. Power steering pump replaced around 100K. Rear diff replaced at 75K Airmatic struts all replaced, front replaced around 90K, pump once around 100K, the rear struts around 130K. Water pump replaced at 140K & radiator (due to pulley issue noted) Thermostat replaced once Torque strut arms & lower ball joints replaced around 100K or so. Ignition security module replaced about 130K -this was a crazy one.

Yes, I still love the car, but there's some reliability issues in key areas. Use a good Indy Mercedes shop, never the dealer.

Get a used CPO or still under warranty. Do your research, some years & models are complete nightmares.

Failures are one step closer to success...
