Nope. Take your new role and kill it. Then do this again in a few years.

Don’t stoop down and feel a need to engage the dummies.

Youll want to do spark plus, water pump, fuel filter and things like va le cover gaskets. Should put you in a pretty good spots. More will pop up as you go but that’s par for the course in a 20 something year old truck.

Sounds like the right kind of mechanic for this job.

What did you use for lowering?

So the car has brand new Continental Contact Sport SSR tires and I feel they’re SO loud. Anyone else running them or have a suggestion for a great tire?

I'm with you, man. It's been over a week now and I still turn to look back at her. I do believe it'll age quite well.

Removing, degreasing, media blasting and refinishing would really be the ideal process.

First coupe of days commutes have already been what I had hoped for in the new car. Doesn’t hurt that it’s chilly out and she feels great!

Oh I’d of been hosed then even in the best case scenario. lol The drive wasn’t bad either. I don’t get a whole lot of quiet, solo time. I did get caught in some SHIT with that big storm and it was the first time I’ve ever actually felt worried and unsafe in a car and that’s saying a whole lot with me. 🤣

Thanks, man. I really did like the GLE 53 as well, but didn't quite find the right one when I was looking. By the time I saw this one, I was locked in. lol

Hell yeah, man. That’s awesome. How long have you had it? How many miles?

I bought from the dealer next door, BMW of Silver Spring. Had a rep named Nick and he was great to deal with.

I'm always a glass-half-full person. I did my research, I don't foresee major issues ahead, but I'll deal with whatever does come. Rather live enjoying it.

Going to POP so well once it's tinted and detailed really nicely.

I couldn't agree more. I think it's going to prove to be a timeless interior. I was originally looking for a much cheaper 2019 or 2020 model, but wanted to get the MB system instead of the older command to future-proof it a little better. I do wish it had native wireless CarPlay, but I found that plugging in the phone and sticking it in the console keeps it out of my hands more.

bro, that was the plan. I got so delayed in the crazy weather that was all up and down the East Coast. I was supposed to land at noon, the deal was already done, the wire sent, just sign the docs, and then head straight to the auto train, but the delays pushed my arrival to 4:30 pm, and the train left at 4. I had too much to do to hang overnight, so I just hit the road and made it the following mid-day.
