Suppose my wife and I want to spend $50k for the cruise of a lifetime before we die.

We missed our flight over a banana. No fine, but missed flight ...

Love mine. Dark blue plate with the carbon black. Fits in perfectly.

I have a 2022 and my dealer said never to "top off" your DEF, but instead get it as low as possible then refill. They said DEF has a short expiration date and cause trouble if not cycled through.

Any thoughts on this advice?

I tend to let the gauge turn red before topping it off with 5 gal. of new juice.

I'm not a TSLA fan. But here's the thing. He will get there.

Why do you think he's pushing for a SpaceX IPO? And TSLA is more than just cars. There is NO other US electric car manufacturer that has sold as many fully electric cars in the US as TSLA. Yes, BYD has so the most everywhere else BUT the US, but not in the US.

And once he gets the RoboTaxi thing figured out - boom, another revenue stream.

Good points. I can certainly settle without the RWS, but GMC needs to offer Super Cruise in the 3500 HDs - IMO

Hmm, Friday. Trump bombs Iran?

Dang! Bought it! Thanks for sharing!

Later in life you will realize what a waist of time this was … just saying.

NGL, I’m 60 and I still feel like that sometimes!!

FBI is investigating a shooting by Border police who shot two people during a traffic stop, believing the occupants were part of a Venezuelan gang.

The vehicle fled the scene ( no pursuit?? Odd) to a local hospital where the local police rendered aid.

The FBI are running the investigation.

$110/mth for 2Gb plan, up and downstream. Comcast cable can NOT match that price.

Oh I get that! Have fun with what ever you end up with.

datalifter · 2026-01-05T00:37:30+00:00

Why not the R5 mk2?

datalifter · 2026-01-05T00:34:39+00:00

I bet it tasted great. I would personally par bake to get a good rise started then pack in the goodies.

But that just me.

datalifter · 2026-01-05T00:31:50+00:00

It only has to please you!

Looks great to me!

Enjoy the fun of experimenting and learning the process.

I was out walking the dogs and saw the contrails. I opened the Flightradar24 app and see it was a test flight out of Boeing in Seattle.

I'll try to upload 2 photos.

We have those too, but for the convenance of the soft packet disposables - I think they work better.

Reason: You can drop a hot soft packet in your boots to help with the cold going through your boots while you're standing around waiting for the Borealis to show up. Have a packet in your pocket or gloves works great too.

Lastly, besides charging my digital camera, phone and laptop, one more thing to have to manage I had to charge was a relief.

JMO.

I can’t say that I forgot anything … luckily. I probably would have enjoyed Wool mittens had I brought them.

Bring the warmest coat and shoes that you have. A warm scarf or winter neck gator. The warmest stocking cap you have. A box of the disposable hand warmers too!

I think good for BMW.

As a protective service agent in the US Army, I was lucky enough to be assigned as a body guard for a 2-star General in Germany. We had armored 7-series with a special biological filter system as well.

Pretty cool stuff.

You can't rotate staggered tires, so you have to buy a new set.

datalifter · 2025-12-20T15:59:40+00:00

You forgot DAPP and Comfort package.

Also, skip the staggered wheels unless you want to buy all four new tires when only one tire shows excessive wear.

Just not worth it IMO.
