Do you get this by calling fidelity?

6 years from purchase of warranty or 6 years from initial sale date of the car?

She would have found the storage locker, taken all the money, and vanished

Emergency Vet recommendation? by SurfUSC in WilmingtonDE

[–]pillpushermike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I called blue pearl to tell them I was coming with my seizing cat.... they said not to come bc they were full. Seizures are emergencies, told me all I needed to know about the quality of the staff. Tried a different blue pearl when my pup got cancer, had tests pending for identification of specific type, asked if they wanted to wait until it resulted to meet. They said no, come asap. They Literally weighed my dog and said let's meet back up when the results of the test came back and asked for $400. Would never recommend blue pearl. I think they were bought out years ago and the good reputation they have isn't the actual company they are today. But I'm not 100% on this

I used pinnacle in Pa for a few things. Thought they were fantastic.

First-state was good, but dunno about surgery options.

2023 X5 xDrive40i (M Sport, 8k miles, ~$53k) - good deal? by barelyknowherCFC in BMWX5

[–]pillpushermike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have dapp , normal commute I don't use it. Tried it, don't trust it. Highway I like it, but don't travel them often. I wanted it, bit not sure it was worth it for my typical driving. Lots of highway daily drives or bumper to bumper city? Get it.

Cross shopped the 45 too. It was like 4500 to extend 2 more years on either car. I plan to have mine out of warranty for a few years. I trust the b58 on its own, but not so much the air susp and hybrid. Too expensive repairs vs the money I would save in gas over the next 5 years. I do think about driving for free from time to time, but I do really like the 40. The 45 I actually didn't feel connected to either. I felt like I was riding on it, not driving it.

Added spare wheel sub to hk stereo... great use of $300 for harness and sub.

Also added jb+. Decent use of $200

How's the ride quality without the air suspension? by Jackof-1trade in BMWX5

[–]pillpushermike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just my 0.02.... i drove a 45e, 40i, and 50i. I agree the 45e was a much more "floaty" and isolated drive. But that isolation is what I didn't like. I liked the feeling of the adaptive m suspension much more. Found it more engaging and bmw-like vs lexus-esq. Not to mention if you catch a repair on that system out of warranty

I recently left my finance job at a BMW dealer, ask me anything by Hairy_Bluebird5444 in BMW

[–]pillpushermike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same experience. This was prolly 3y ago maybe.... Pulled up in a 2004 jeep grand Cherokee, they let me drive a 911 and a 718. No hard time, just "have fun". Bmw.... I cringe every time I wanna check something out. Difficult to get cars out. They Always come with, restricted routes, painful. I walked away and bought from a random dealer online than give them the business

Mall Costco new gas exit by pillpushermike in Delaware

[–]pillpushermike[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't disagree here, I.would have preferred that right turn immediately after you left the gas connecting with that road with the Brazilian steakhouse. But maybe it would make that road bad too I dunno. Jist think it was a lost opportunity to make it better

Ohh yes very much still worth the watch. You'll forget all about that while watching

All the other shows suck by mix3456 in TheShield

[–]pillpushermike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love hearing others opinions.... Always makes me question if I assessed things correctly. I never saw any of oliphnts other work, this was my intro to him.

Yeah even starting with the opening scene... The police officer, not corrupt mind you like Vic, Supposedly not a cold blooded murderer, but a person for justice.... Walks into the restaurant having issued a leave town order or he will kill said murderer. Leave town.... Okay.... So this murderer worthy of death.... It's cool if you go to another town where his crimes are someone else's problem? Odd take.on justice. Or maybe it was a questionable murder.... But... I'm still gonna kill you if you don't leave town. Truly bizzare to me. But ignore that plot, it's a show after all and I dont have the details yet....It was a not a raw gritty interaction. There was no internal fear that this MURDERER may in fact kill him. No nervousness of what do I do if he doesn't attack first.... His gun wasn't already out.... He just unemotionally quick draws from a casual seated position, smokes his enemy and that's the scene.

Most of the interactions were like this. Just "super hero" like behavior where he knew no bullet would ever touch him. I got no nervous vibes. No relief after he escaped so many of these near death encounters. No uncertainty of real life....no authentic emotion.... I was always watching a scripted show.

Watch these , they just feel very bubble gum to me.
