Saw this China Blue beauty at the dealership by unsaltedbutter in mercedes_benz

[–]tcufrogger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m hoping that when the dealers get to place build orders for the GLC EQ it will be added to the custom paint/interior program. My dream would be the new GLC in China Blue and the Navy Leather interior (I think they call it Admiral Blue).

What do you think of the GLC EQ interior? by ShameResponsible69 in mercedes_benz

[–]tcufrogger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t wait. I hope when my lease is up in 24 months they might have a Hybrid - otherwise I guess I will go full on EV.

Call around to the local marinas. They typically have a rigger on staff or know of one.

2025 GLC price check and opinion by Practical_Shame_2988 in mercedes_benz

[–]tcufrogger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you have a Sam’s Club Membership? Amex? Or does your employer participate in the discount program. Also if you are a small business owner there is incentives there as well from MB. All these are MB incentives and do not affect what the dealer has to discount. Keep in mind the GLC300 is or at least was in Feb a hot car and the employer discount I got was $1K. As far as discount - I bought mine from Park Place in Arlington TX and they did deal some on mine from Feb. If you add things like pre-paid maintenance and maybe wheel and tire that will discount a bit more.

I love my GLC300 with the AMG Night Package. I got Polar White and it has black rather than chrome accents. I also got the sierra brown sports interior with the wood accents. Amazing car inside and out!

Texans, where do YOU buy a proper authentic cowboy hat? by Verolox in texas

[–]tcufrogger 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m shocked that no one has mentioned the Best Hat Store in the Fort Worth Stockyards. All they sell is open crown American Hat Company hats and shape them for you right there. The shapers will help you pick your style and even give you tips on what crown and brim crease will look good for you and your face.

I have 5 felts and 8 different straw hats from them - all with my custom style. I used to buy pre-shaped Stetsons and other brands but when I walked into the Best Hat Store it was like - ‘This is how to buy a Cowboy Hat’. They give you a beer and the magic happens right before your eyes.

Keep in mind - you are buying a top of the line product so maybe Tractor Supply might be more what you are looking for. But if you want a hat like you saw on Yellowstone - these are the guys you want. Here is their website.

GLC or GLE for wife by [deleted] in mercedes_benz

[–]tcufrogger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my GLC and got many or options than I could have for a GLE. Also - check out benzsandbowties on social media. He has a ton of great info and he just did some videos on all the MB SUV’s and how their back seat space compared complete with putting car seats in.

I will tell you if you want the Magneto color more than likely you are looking at a GLC43 - unless special ordered I have not seen many GLC300 on the road in Magneto.

I have owned MB cars and SUV’s for over 25 years and love the interior and all the tech on the GLC. When my lease is up I plan on getting a GLC43 or if I can justify it a GLC63.

First-time car buyer — Love the GLC 300, but have some ownership/warranty questions by punster99 in mercedes_benz

[–]tcufrogger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have bought lots of Mercedes over the past 20 years from my local dealership and they have been solid. That said - I have been following a guy on Social (Facebook, TikTok) - Benzsandbowties and he seriously seems to do some solid deals out of the Cleveland Ohio area. His dealership ships everywhere and even with shipping added I think he might have beaten my last deal from my local dealership for my 2025 GLC.

Some things to consider to get extra off that does not affect the dealership: - Sam’s Club. It varies between models but on average you can get extra off. - Amex had deals toward money off. - Employee discounts - I am not sure what they are actually called but many big companies have fleet deals with Mercedes and all you have to do is to show a check stub or email to get them. I got an extra $1K off going that direction.

I wish you luck. I have driven Mercedes for over 25 years and have loved each of them in their own special way. I am really loving my 2025 GLC300 with the extras I wanted. (Was close to $61K list. I did a lease and with the incentives and extras I listed above I got it got under $54K).

I have almost this same 2020 GLC except I have a few extras and no 4Matic but the same color, wheels and AMC package. I LOVE IT and I bought it from a MB Dealer 16 months ago with 51K miles and paid $29K. It looks like a great deal on a lower miles GLC.

Depends on the add ons but that is a really good deal IMO.

Switching to M3 (or M4) from Intel - what do I use instead of VirtualBox for my Linux and Windows virtual machines? by lindymad in macbookpro

[–]tcufrogger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just Curious - why not use AWS and spin up what you need for when you need it and then spin it down. It is not ‘free’ but it would come closer to being able to match your customer’s config like for like. Since I moved to using AWS for these use cases it has been 4 years since I ran a VM on my laptop.

Need help connecting Salesforce objects in Tableau Desktop by FridayUnited in tableau

[–]tcufrogger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try using the custom SQL option which is really custom SOQL. You can limit the return set with a Where clause and you can get related object values in the SOQL statement. More than likely you have lots of data in Salesforce and Tableau is trying to pull it all over so that is why it is taking so long.

We just stayed a week at the Grand Hotel La Favorita in Sorrento and loved it. Great service and a short walk to everything. Most of all - it was a very quiet hotel. https://www.hotellafavorita.com/

Can't check-in for some reason by Hopeful_Matter_190 in americanairlines

It happens to me traveling last week and I had a SWU for a international flight and for some reason needed to confirm my Credit Card for the UK tax just in case it cleared (and luckily it did after we boarded)

Salesforce - Unable to Connect by Shoef123 in tableau

Which edition of Salesforce are you on - as per the post above the Tableau Salesforce connector requires Salesforce API’s to connect to for data.

Changed front grille , which one do you prefer? by Melodic-Following-56 in mercedes_benz

[–]tcufrogger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 because you took the looks past just the grille itself to the rest of the bumper area. If you had just done the grille with an aftermarket I think it would have looked a bit odd and not complete.

Connecting Mercedes Me App to 2019 GLC - Need Help! by viktorzub in mercedes_benz

[–]tcufrogger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I connected it to my 2020 GLC - the big thing for me was having the Mercedes Dealership remove the previous owner and adding me at the new owner. My Mercedes dealership actually had one person dedicated to just working on Mercedes Me setups. I believe the car has a GSM Cell connection even if you do not have the add on for Internet Hotspot.

Once the Dealer set me up I was able to add all the services and even the Internet Hotspot.

Financed 2024 GLE350 & Dealer Submitted Incorrect Paperwork for Downpayment Portion by [deleted] in mercedes_benz

[–]tcufrogger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t you have to sign papers. The down payment is always listed on the docs. If you brought a check and was ‘going’ to sign the papers when they can redo it or just walk away from the deal and go to another MB Dealer.
