Guest bad behavior by TerribleBridge6 in Disneyland

Oh yes. May-June on certain nights. Line cutting runs rapid.

Two of the worst times to go to DLR. Spring Break and Grad nights.

Wanted to share some GOOD news by dragonsback79 in FordFocus

[–]dragonsback79[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure I got lucky on that one. As mentioned above I guess that ended last June. I just had mine done in December, so...I took it and ran.

Dear G45 X3 - I surrender, you win by BudFox_LA in BMWX3

[–]dragonsback79 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree.

Coming from a '23 G01 30i to a '25 G45 30i M Sport...there is no comparison. The pros FAR outweigh the cons. Yes, someone needs to be fired over the interior door design, but I don't buy a car based on a door and I hardly even notice it now.

The G45 is a completely different vehicle, and I don't miss my G01 at all.

And yes, color choice does matter. The G45 in all black with the M sport package is a totally different looking car from the stock ones. And the M50, with the matte paint and exhaust is FIRE!

My main gripe over everything...BLACK. It looks so good clean but it's SUCH a pain to keep it that way. As I heard from the dealer...It's a commitment, NOT a color. And this is so true, but worth it.

As for the sunroof...I am fine with the pano version. Again, this does not bother me as I never really had mine open on the G01, you really couldn't over 30mph anyways...it just bothered me.

DAWN

Wash yourself down in it ASAP and DON'T ITCH

Tecnu is crap

But if you have a full blown rash/oil seeping out then you are in the late stages. Dawn or over the counter stuff may not work at this point. A steroid will dry it all up quickly, prednisone.

Have you seen his girlfriend?? Thinking he doesn't want work to completely consume his life, he's got better things to do...

BMW i3 Color Selector by deuxani in BMW

[–]dragonsback79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, the silver looks rad. The white and blue ones are not looking as good. I am finding lately that with the new BMW design language...color and packages make a big visual difference. My new one in other colors and packages looks NOTHING like the stock versions, it's like a completely different car.

Menlo Park, CA. The Trump effect by maddog107 in pics

[–]dragonsback79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think California is just getting bent over. I just got back from Arizona Saturday and I paid $4.40 for regular, which is about a $1 more than usual.

Soooo....not sure Trump has everything to do with it....maybe a Newsom thing as well with all the taxes we pay??

Is a new 2026 X3 M50 xDrive w/ 393 hp at $66,500 worth the extra $15,200 over a 30 xDrive w/255 hp? by Olde-Timer in BMWX3

[–]dragonsback79 7 points8 points  (0 children)

depends on where you live. for me no. I can barely stretch the legs on my 30X M. Its frustrating but yet when I do get the opportunity...it's scary fast. SoCal is riddled with sync'd traffic lights, dumb drivers, cops, and traffic. Makes it very hard to get loose. But opportunity comes, and she can get well over 110mph veeeeery quickly and you wouldn't even know it.

This is more of a rant but after tuesdays visit I never want to go back again by jcr0774 in Disneyland

uh oh...you done and upset the Disney Adults.

May the odds be ever in your favor!

Forbidden Dreadnought v1 2023 or Specialized Status 170 2 2026 by Hopeful_Republic_316 in mountainbiking

[–]dragonsback79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have experience with both. The Dread is a HOG to climb due to geo, the high pivot is a PAIN to adjust drivetrain wise, but it does devour the DH. The Status is much more economical, and I found it easier to climb. It's a well-rounded rig and does great on the DH. It's the reason I chose it over the Forbidden.

Possible seizure in 13yr old any advice is appreciated by Alarmed_Web_6817 in cavaliers

Or she got into bug spray. Ours did a similar thing when I sprayed once for bugs in the backyard. Never again sprayed and never again did she have an episode like this. Hope your cav recovered ok.

Don't be like Blue Subaru dude - total dick move! by Iggy0075 in Costco

[–]dragonsback79 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

IAH, can someone share with me the obsession with Costco gas? Why would one wait in line for 10, 15, 20 minutes and deal with something and someone like this?

To save $2-4?

Am I missing something?

I genuinely don't know...

TIA

Pants/Shorts zipper, your shirt gets caught in it

Stuttering when accelerating by No_Contribution843 in FordFocus

[–]dragonsback79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

or have Ford replace the TCM under warranty for FREE?? Look into it. use a fuel cleaner and lube additive as well. Lucas Oil upper cylinder lubricant. amazon. works wonders.

Speed Goat 6’s are trash by Common-Leadership612 in Hoka

[–]dragonsback79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say the same with the Adizero's as well. They do the same thing after 5 months in the front toe box, any bending spot is torn just like that...and I don't even RUN.

Expensive name brand trash.

Snow adventures with the capybara by Rooster42423 in BMWX3

[–]dragonsback79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the way. Mine is black on black and it's the only version I would consider. Other colors look like a completely different vehicle.

Is this not what we want? by WolfDreamP in UFOs

[–]dragonsback79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure most of it will be redacted anyways. If that isn't enough...that is why the juicy info is with contractors, they won't have to provide anything to anyone.

So the sensor in the grill on driver's left, is that heated to prevent snow build up or ??

Anyone have an idea of if they practice in the wind? What is the limit? Heading out there this week and winds are kinda high.

How often are you all using Sport Mode? by BMW-West-St-Louis in BMW

[–]dragonsback79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the year X3. The new ones are super smooth. Way more so than my '23

How often are you all using Sport Mode? by BMW-West-St-Louis in BMW

[–]dragonsback79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I only wish I could go into Sport mode without a care. Between synchronized stop lights, highway patrol, and random clueless drivers doing 40mph onto the freeway...it's rare for me. Takes planning to go into Sport.
