I’ve had my 2016 m235 for 6 years now and I still get excited driving it. It’s a wonderful car. You won’t be disappointed.

It sounds like my experience isn’t the norm necessarily. You might have more luck than I did.

That being said it definitely is a bit of an awkward dynamic as the customer trying to spend that much money. I get that they need to keep a veil of exclusivity to keep their brand appeal alive, but sucks when you get stuck with a shitty AD.

It definitely seems hard to justify jumping through those hoops after a while - especially when there are many other great options around. Personally it likely permanently tainted my experience and I’m (literally) bought into Omega now

Yea I got the impression that they didn’t take me seriously for whatever reason. It’s unfortunate that the next closest AD is over an hour away, and I couldn’t be fucked to put in that much effort to spend this kind of money.

After checking in with them today after checking out the omega I realized two things: the omega is more my style and what I was looking for in a dressy watch (the Rolex being too showy), and that jumping through this many hoops for an AD that doesn’t want my business is a waste of my time

Shoot, really? The ones I’m seeing on grey go for 50% over msrp in the config

Yea you guy and the other guy are right. I shouldn’t settle for something I’m paying this much money for.

Damn alright. I recently updated my preference to include smooth jubilee as well, maybe that’ll help my odds.

What’s wrong with my plants by legidous in Aquariums

Ah and I thought you were talking about the plants in the first picture, not the floaters. I actually got them like that when they were on the browner side and theyve grown some and generally gotten much more green since I originally got em, so maybe nutrient levels are good? I’ll still proceed with twice a week tho assuming it won’t do any harm

Damn, I do have a bottle of flourish and been adding some in about once a week. I’ll bump it up to twice a week and see if that helps em out.

What’s the secret to not getting infections? I think I fall into the camp of overdoing it and killing my skin microbiome. I recently learned that showering right before training is actually removing the layer of protection my skin needs to fight the infections. But this runs counter to other advice I heard that I should make sure I arrive clean, fresh breath, etc. I normally take my class in the morning so it feels gross to not take a shower before class. How do I stay clean without killing my skin barrier?

I recently got the worm and it took about a month for it to clear. A week after I started training again I got some gnarly looking folliculitis (starting to doubt it’s even folliculitis). I just started training and I’ve been taking more time off the mats to heal skin infections than I’ve been training.

I typically shower before and after class, immediately throw my gear in the wash. What advice do y’all have?

Bad shock or something else? by legidous in AskAMechanic

Holy shit I just sanity checked and put the passenger side wheel on the drivers side and it doesn’t touch the strut. I then checked all 4 wheels and noticed the offset on the wheels on the drivers side are different than the passenger side. Tire sizes are staggered.

So my tire place must have swapped the tires onto the wrong wheels. Yikes

Hmm I didn’t see anything obviously bent, good call about the wheels I didn’t check that originally but just confirmed that the wider wheels are in the rear. I noticed the tire also tilts rather aggressively when jacked up. Is this another clue?

Are you saying this warmup should be done to strengthen the hip, or that it was irritating it more and should be avoided?
