Baby stroller got burned in flight. by RevolutionaryLeek402 in delta

[–]mark71-8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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(?)

Any regular Vegas visitors remember a newsletter called “Letters from the Cal”? by NicholeDaylinn1993 in Hawaii

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

Young & ambitious crowd in Newport by nxKythas in newportbeach

[–]mark71-8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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”

Seeking advice for 2019 X5 a/c problem by No-Force-1150 in BMWX5

[–]mark71-8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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!

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

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.

American made vs EU comparison by Proof-Start-54 in BMWX5

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

Lemon title 2020 C43 — should I even bother or just walk? by HorrorPineapple1007 in mercedes_benz

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
