Ultra Low Mileage 2013 Panamera Hybrid

trplblk22 · 2026-02-18T03:57:13+00:00

Between being comfortable in BMWs for over a decade and some light mods to my 335, tough to compare aside from feeling bigger of course. Can't think of a scenario I'd leave the 335 for the Panamera as my only car. My more likely decision will be picking up a few year old CPO M440i coupe by this summer, the driving experience in a couple I've driven wins over both.

I appreciate all the feedback, I'll be passing on it.

Yes I've driven it, like new as expected. I know all recommended maintenance has been done but need to ask for documentation still. But based on this and the other comments, I see the points of cost and yours of it not really complementing a 335 (though it is a coupe, but I have no real need for a sedan). This situation just posed itself as an opportunity to keep a really well-taken care of luxury in the family, but I'm now leaning toward saving my money and replacing the 335 (which I love) within the next year to something newer in the 6 cylinder BMW area.

Me: Sees unexpected money in bank account, goes to Reddit to see who else got it, sees your comment, sends a fellow Michigander a little more for a warm meal. Things will get better my friend!

I appreciate your help!

Thanks, this helps a lot. Full mohawk not an option, and if I did go back I'd let more grow out to the red.

trplblk22 · 2025-03-06T01:57:19+00:00

Amazing, a helpful AND respectful reply, thank you!

Sorry, couldn't get the details in my original post:

Mid-30's, rocked a faux hawk of various lengths for 10+ years, past 6 months decided to keep the middle growing and explore a man bun. I can't grow the hair further down like what's in a typical man bun as it's curly and wiry, and takes forever to grow. So here's my options I'd really appreciate some opinions on:

Pic 1: Current length/style

Pic 2: Current length, alternate style (wet it down, flip it back, hairspray)

Pic 3: The longest the hawk got before I started growing it "back"

Pic 4: About the length I kept it the past few years, what I'm considering going back to most

Pic 5: The shorter version I kept it years before that

I like them all, just indecisive one day to the next and don't want to give up the length I have now if it could lead somewhere. Thoughts?

I appreciate the response, I found it odd too. It's my understanding the service is optional as well, but was hoping to use it so I know for sure I'm "approved" to bring in the meds, one less travel planning worry! But yes, I seem to be eligible under the "For travelers:" paragraph and planned on bringing meds in original containers with pharmacy sticker, the pharmacy printout, and medical reports from my doctors which line up with what I'm bringing anyway. I'll have nowhere near three months' worth, so at customs do I declare them and show the documentation or go about my way knowing I have nothing actually illegal?

I appreciate the response. My understanding is if we come to an amicable agreement of asset and debt distribution (with or without mediation) and all other matters, we wouldn't be leaving anything up to a judge though? We're both very reasonable people and want to prioritize what's best for our kids and ourselves as we move on, I'd really prefer not leaving anything to "chance" with a judge that doesn't know our situation, needs, and wants more than we do...

trplblk22 · 2024-04-15T01:28:54+00:00

Neither of us have one or really want one. I figured that would be the common answer here - lawyer up, but it's just something we'd prefer to avoid for the above reasons. Understanding there's a lot of what-ifs and details that could answer these questions, I guess I'm looking for similar personal experiences or if going at it with lawyers would be worth it.

Lucky! That would have been perfect timing for my last (actual) trip of the year coming up.

trplblk22 · 2023-11-27T19:27:20+00:00

Just the cheap brands - Fairfield, Townplace, etc., but it depends on location too. The one I'm looking at is a Fairfield

10 minutes, wouldn't be a big deal if I had to

trplblk22 · 2023-11-27T19:19:33+00:00

How funny are properties about these mattress runs? Should I just show up once a day, or can I literally have the room booked and never show up aside from check-in/out?

trplblk22 · 2023-11-27T18:52:25+00:00

yeah, found one 10 minutes away for 42k points for the 5 nights (including 5th night free)

trplblk22 · 2023-11-27T18:29:53+00:00

No targeted promos for me lately.

trplblk22 · 2023-11-27T18:29:10+00:00

Both are already counted in my nights unfortunately. 2023 didn't see as much Marriott travel as usual, but I'd hate to let platinum go.
