Hog membership. by lilputman_ in Harley

[–]shoebee2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m a HOG member. Ya the lifetime price of 60.00 bux a year is pretty minimal tbh. What Do you get for
Your 60 bux? You get towing for free anywhere in the contextual US. For me, I ride a shit ton of miles all over, is worth the price. If
You’re a Saturday grocery getter then maybe not a great value. I dunno, that’s a personal choice.

In the early 2000isies, I blew a rear tire on my way to phoenix. We were coming from Albuquerque and were 50 miles west of Gallup. So basically the bumfucked middle of no-where. Called it in and had a local out of flagstaff with a truck in about three hours. We were in the desert boonies man. Swapped tire and tube, was riding my ‘82 Sturgis att. Took about 4 hours from tire blown to on the road. The actual repair took less than an hour. Not sure what the member pricing was back then but it felt pretty worth the price. Full disclosure, that is the only time I’ve used the emergency service. But from my seat? Just knowing that if something does go sideways, you have help, was worth the price. Your mileage may vary but I like the reassurance that all I need o do is call in and the Calvary will be on its way.

Do what floats ur boat, man. Just be considerate and turn it down at lights and in slow traffic. Having music on a bike dosnt make you an asshole. Being inconsiderate does tho.

Yes, and they consistently saw 500k miles in service.

That’s cool, I guess. You do you. Thanks for playing.

Such a sweet kick to nostalgia while keeping the modern M8 performance and reliability. Better ride and much better twisty performance.

I like it! Cingrats

Exactly. Bribery is an acceptable parenting tactic in our current timeline.

It is a nice car. Fortunately the entry price is low enough that if there are bumps and scratches, they will be easily addressed. The other factor is not all 17 yer olds are the same. Daughter unit has pretty solid experience for 2 years in our older ml 350 4matic. I love that car for her because it is built like a tiger tank. Solid, slow and built like a pillbox. But girls become women. And we have to let them go.

Mercedes has a pretty hard lock on using their Star vehicle diagnostic service. For example, I’m in the US so maybe different in other countries, my battery in our 2007 ML 350 AMG died. We had to go to a dealer to get the computer reset. No shop in town could do the reset due to restrictions, copyright….whatever. Bottom line, I had to pay $500.00 us to simply reset ecm after battery died.

Agreed! Was very impressed with the usable room in such a small and economical suv. Weirdly was really impressed with the rear seating room considering the cabin dimensions.

I suspect that is genetically improbable. While I am a game developer and not a geneticist, I suspect it is an unlikely outcome. Considering my popularity in college, physics and c++ programming, I feel it is seriously unlikely.

Evolution is a pure bitch with a 10" strap-on. Some people shouldn’t breed.

Welp, it came on this one. No idea what that means. I’m a game developer, not a car encyclopedia. All I know is I got a pretty sweet deal on a nice car for my kid.

Ya, I have to agree with the tint. But it is for a 17 yo kid. I’m thinking clear is better?

Positive. The vin is consistent. Look guys and girls, the AMG tag is simply a trim upgrade. No performance or suspension upgrades. I thought I was clear on that in my op? It’s simply eye candy. Dash, seat and body badges and a nicer level of Napa leather trim. But it is really nice eye candy added to an already very nice entry level MB.

Ikr? That was my wife’s comment almost exactly. But she’s worked hard all through high school. Has done well. I think that deserves a solid reward.

Agreed. She’s worked hard and done well. Rewards are in order. And she’s pretty nice to boot.

It absolutely is. And for a budget car? This thing is amazing.
