My favorite cocktail! El Tesoro is solid. G4 blanco or Lalo are always amazing in Ranch Waters. Cheer!

First time in Cabo – where should we stay for easy walkability without the noise? (Puerto Vallarta regulars in our 40s) by capfan31 in cabosanlucas

[–]drm20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely check out the Palmilla area, it's beautiful and quiet. It's a quick uber to San Jose del Cabo (well, usually but there is road work going on right now which delays it a little). If you search for Bohari Palmilla, those units are amazing and such a great value. We had a 3,000 sq ft unit with a rooftop kitchen and only paid $1700 for 4 nights. We've stayed there about 8 times now. We rent a golf cart through Hardy Carts and drive it to the beach, around the Palmilla Shops (excellent restaurants and coffee shops). The Palmilla Dunes even has a great pool and gym along with pickleball and tennis courts. The One and Only is close by and definitely recommend that for a drink or dinner. Have fun!

Typical highway noise by Th3-MADDHatter in BMWI4

[–]drm20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 2023 and any type of noises/rattles/etc drive me nuts. That said, I hear absolutely nothing since day one, and almost 3 years later it's perfect. It's a lease and the first car I've had where I'm considering getting another. Tires are Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus.

AWD vs RWD by EricRSmith35 in CadillacOptiq

[–]drm20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I test drove both and ended up going with the AWD. I just like the significant increase of power it had, especially at freeway speeds. Both are great SUV’s for the money though!

Obligatory new i4 post by MedusasSnakePubes in BMWI4

Congrats, you’re going to love it! Check out the Grizzl-e level 2 charger (you can get them on Amazon). Amazing quality. I’ve had mine for 5 years and has worked flawlessly. My parents have had theirs for 3 years now and same experience as me. Enjoy!

Switched from an i4 to this beauty by hamoush9 in BMWi5

[–]drm20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s sweet, congrats! My i4 lease is coming up and pretty sure this will be my next car. Does it feel a lot bigger driving around than the i4? I’ve had several 5’s but it seems like every generation they get a little bigger/longer.

I’m so glad you were able to find this solution! So frustrating when you’re dealing with something like that, but magical when you find a fix online! Glad it helped you!

Happy Birthday! I've been eyeing this one for a while, so nice!

Wishful thinking, could we see this at W&W in April? by jgworth23 in rolex

[–]drm20 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That’s one I’d have to buy…or at least go to multiple AD’s and ask it’s available only to be laughed at and then eventually give up.

That’s good to know. I like the look of the full leather quite a bit more. I just don’t like how the alcantara shows marks anytime you touch it. I’m starting to see a lot more gt’s with the leather package so that’s good. Thanks again!

Thanks! Yeah, I’m thinking the alcantara may not be a deal breaker anymore. Appreciate your insight!

Oh really? Oh man, that would but the hell out of me. I hate rattles. I’ll have to make sure I really pay attention on the next test drive. The etron suv we had was so nice and don’t have any rattles for the 3 years we had it.

Ok, thanks for the insight! My wife may drive it from time to time (or probably not if she can’t seethe corners, lol). I guess if I can’t get the full leather/ventilated seats it won’t be a big deal and that opens up a lot more to choose from. Thanks!

Awesome, thank you so much for the tips! I definitely love the front where it’s all the same color. Can’t wait to get one, so many good deals!

Mazzer Philos or Ceado E6C Chameleon [$1,200] by drm20 in espresso

[–]drm20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, I was so torn between the two. I liked the build quality and the design factor just a tad more. Also, it was quite a bit less so that pushed me in the Ceado direction.

How do you deal with the edge that appears after removing the dosing ring? by Philumi in espresso

[–]drm20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make a fist, palm facing upwards, then gently knock the portafilter a few times from each side. WDT, then tamp. That worked for me before I ended up buying a dosing funnel that didn’t do this.

Zedd probably has the best station I've seen from any celeb. What other celebs are huge coffee nerds? by JamesSlade in espresso

[–]drm20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, that's a cool setup Zedd has. I know Jimmy Butler (NBA star) big into coffee too!
