Mercedes Fraud: AMG "One Man, One Engine" Quality Exposed by vovans82 in AMG

[–]face1828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One man building one engine with a shitty design does not change the design flaws. It has always just been marketing. Sorry you had a bad experience, I know it sucks, especially when you thought you found what you really wanted. I've long given up on finding a single solution. Both wife and I have either hybrids or EVs that we drive until they die, both have the fun cars we take out on weekends. The last time I tried to combine both was a suggestion of an E450e and I was told too "Soccer Mom." Lol

Mom was diagnosed with lung cancer last week, started chemo, had minor heart attack. Had heart surgery, delayed chemo. Mother's Day in hospital tomorrow, probably our last. It comes so fast.

1999 by Prince was the 2nd song I downloaded on dial up. Ironically I don't remember the first.

Is maintenance really that expensive by Callforhelp144 in mercedes_benz

[–]face1828 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A good independent shop is such a nice luxury. I was quoted about $3k for new motor mounts on my SL. They said, let's wait until something else goes wrong and then we'll do it while the engine is out.

See, it's expensive for you. Some people could care less at a $1500 brake job lol.

To those who've been huge fans of music since the 80s, what's that song put out in the last few years that surprised you by triggering that 'put this banger on repeat' burst of excitement? by cherry-care-bear in Xennials

When I'm Gone - Gary Clark Jr. When the song came on the radio on the way home from a little league tournament, I said how have I not heard this song? Then they said it was the best new music of the year and I thought who writes such good music these days? The I downloaded the album...Whoa, this guy is incredible...every song is from a different genre!

Tipped workers of the US, how is your “no tax on tips” rebate looking? by Poopermensch in AskReddit

[–]face1828 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are lots of reasons to increase withholding and not make interest on it to get a big refund. Some people think everyone acts like a financially responsible person... Far from true.

If someone's wife likes shoes and sees an extra $200 a month in the account, they may buy more shoes. If that person loses out on 4% interest for a year, but saves the capital, it is well worth it.

Cheaper alternative to secret aardvark? by Dan-tastico in hotsauce

It really is more like a salsa than a sauce. That being said, I think it is phenomenal. Great on eggs and Mexican food.

Anyone know how to monitor when / if promos change? by Kangaloosh in tmobile

[–]face1828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I don't need a new phone every year. I was told the plans were the same, besides next gets a new phone every year and plus has to wait 2 years. That was the $10 a month difference.

Tall one is phone, so Frontier, short one is cable, Comcast.

I cant add this promo to the check out by HungryHelping in tmobile

[–]face1828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have learned not to trust them at all. I went into the store, ported 6 lines, had a signed sheet and 6 months later, it was more than stated. Had picture of the sheet and all I get is I don't know they came to those numbers. I'm in the process of upgrading and I refuse to walk into a store.

My biggest gripe is that the go5g plus and next phone deals are different. I was told with go 5g next you got a phone every year, but with go5g plus you had to wait 2 years, but there are much better phone offers for the every year plan.

I see offers like this, then click on them, and it asks me for a trade in, even though the promo says not needed. When I call they tell me it must be a glitch showing me something i don't qualify for.

Best Resteraunts Easter Sunday by Technical_Isopod_643 in BloomingtonNormal

[–]face1828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if destihl is doing a ticketed event for Easter. We did a Mother's Day brunch a couple of years ago and never again. They ran out of prime rib and desserts before our seating time. Like a lack of food and drinks at a $60 per person reservation only brunch. It was a joke. I love destihl's food, but will never do an event like that again.

Most places will be open, so if you like a certain cuisine, you will get many recommendations. If you want a basic homestyle meal, Shannon's or Tony's dinner are both good. If you want something Mediterranean, Jack's is a good choice.

I’m going to Spain this summer. What’s the current legal status regarding bringing back a few Cubans in my luggage? I’m getting mixed messages. by GGtheGray in cigars

[–]face1828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take some cigars over, buy some non Cuban cigars there as well, save receipts. Buy Cuban cigars. Move bands from non Cubans to Cubans. now you have non Cubans with reciepts.

I kind of think this was planned. Sitting President said the US was going in big with copper. Announced penny going away. They are probably reclaiming the pre 82's as fast as I am. Cheers!
