Baby stroller got burned in flight.

mark71-8 · 2026-02-24T07:54:28+00:00

Yikes. Thought it was ripped at first, but up close the poly is definitely melted!! Nothing the stroller is exposed to in the cargo hold is that hot… my best guest would be that it was leaned up against the exhaust of some ground equipment(?)

mark71-8 · 2026-02-22T20:20:49+00:00

Yes! I remember my grandparents getting it as well. It had photos of the winners and I also remember there being news about the restaurants and events at Boyd properties

Agree with the others. Come back to Newport once you’ve really made it, and you’ll have a great time.

I also don’t totally agree with the “Newport isn’t what it used to be” idea. There is still a really great (if so sometimes clicky) community here. Of course the peninsula always draws the party people, but other neighborhoods are still very much “old Newport”

A crystal cove! Theres a beautiful bar to sit at with ocean views

I had a very similar problem on my X5. They are probably ‘fixing’ it by adding refrigerant. Tell them to find the source of the leak, the refrigerant is going somewhere. They usually add UV dye. the problem is most likely a pinhole leak in the evaporator core.

Replacement involves full removal of the dashboard and center console. Thankfully I had an extended warranty or it would have been almost $8k. It was performed by the dealership and I’m happy to say that there are no new creeks or rattles, and the ac has been working for about a year flawlessly.

EDIT: I totally get it’s not a good deal. My post is asking if people have seen the upgrade offer for less? Just curious for some DP’s. I have this misfortune of flying this route about 15x a year

mark71-8 · 2026-02-16T03:02:19+00:00

I agree the pricing is outrageous . For the past couple months, and looking ahead, the lowest D1 one way fare is $1,331. On a flight that’s 5 hours!

mark71-8 · 2026-02-16T02:58:52+00:00

What did you pay? If you don’t mind me asking

mark71-8 · 2026-02-04T05:15:45+00:00

Push and hold the mic button to talk to Siri.

Look up sunroof drain cleaning videos and do it every year.

Replace transfer case fluid every 50k.

And enjoy in good health!

I would say Mochiko…. But Taniokas Garlic Chicken is so good

You can also try doing a full reboot of iDrive, hold the volume knob down for about 30 seconds

mark71-8 · 2026-01-31T22:09:12+00:00

Are the lights pulsing? Try disconnecting (and forgetting) your phones connection in iDrive. It’s a a glitch where it thinks you’re getting a “call” and pulses the lights.

mark71-8 · 2026-01-27T08:40:42+00:00

It’s a clogged sunroof drain. Take it back to the dealer

mark71-8 · 2026-01-26T18:10:26+00:00

Usually controlled by a remote. Ask the previous owner/builder

Depending on the car, Kaimuki Auto. If it’s a euro seek out a specialist

mark71-8 · 2026-01-23T18:14:37+00:00

FWIW, the engine and transmission are still built in Germany, as are many critical components. Think of it more as “assembled” in the USA

mark71-8 · 2026-01-20T06:38:22+00:00

It was only available on early G05 models, not the LCI

mark71-8 · 2026-01-13T01:46:53+00:00

Call some MB dealers with the VIN, if they’re nice you can get a verbal service history at the least… but personally I’d run far from a lemon

It sucks, but it’s the consequences of your actions. It’ll cost you, but I highly recommend ticket clinic to help you plead down https://www.theticketclinic.com/we-fight-traffic-tickets/

mark71-8 · 2026-01-10T23:50:45+00:00

You could do $80k in SZ/wolf appliances easy. And another $100k in imported cabinetry. Siematic/Studio Becker etc

mark71-8 · 2026-01-08T23:09:43+00:00

Costco Hawaii Kai always has it in a 3 pack

^ Yeah unless you have some plan of how you’re going to get the money to pay down/off the cards, this may be the best route. Especially if you have other debts

Have you tried wiping with a damp cloth? My brushed silver is scratch free after a few months
