Yep, this was the longest I've ever belonged to a group...Amazon is a close 2nd. Sad thing is I rarely come here for auto related things, more just local advice and gossip.

MRM has been on steady decline since they burned down their lodge and were bought out by Vail Resorts. I'd be pissed if I bought a season pass. I don't think MRM will go under for a while, they will just be bought out by a shitty venture capital firm that owns malls or something. Snow Trails started blowing back when we had the cold snap in November and stockpiled their snow so they could open for Xmas break. Last I heard they had to limit ticket sales because they were beyond capacity (everybody jumping ship from MRM). I wish the hill wasn't so small, the lodge has so much personality and their shop is actually quite decent.

Not a pretty game but they did make adjustments and changes. Marvin Harrison Jr is going to be a good replacement for Garrett/Olave

Usually get our trees from Lowe's but their selection was rather lacking. Anyone know of farms that have a good selection? Looking for a taller tree this year, prolly a 12 footer.

I don't think this is a good measure of safety, anyone should know that a drunk idiot almost always survives the crash.

Its the new discrimination. Have the vaccine? Come on in. No vaccine? You can wait outside or eat in your area.

The vaccination is not a silver bullet. If your wife is that much 'at-risk' then don't fucking take her out? This is not a flesh eating virus, its a weird cold at best.

The vaccination is not a silver bullet.

The more I watch him I tend to agree. Sure when he's on the money he has a great arm...but you take Njigba, Wilson and Olave out of the equation and I think he falls flat. We got out coached and out played, especially on Defense. Oregon did nothing fantastic, they just played with precision and consistency.

This 100%. The fact that countries and companies are denying service without it doesn't sit well with me.

What if you have already gone thru COVID? You and your significant others actually contracted COVID? We spent days or weeks of feeling like shit only to be told "you have to get a vaccination?" I already had that shit, I have antibodies that are most likely superior to the vaccine. I voted for Joe but there is going to be a severe split in America.

Yo mama so ugly, her portraits hang themselves.

While it wouldn't surprise me they keep a 1-loss Clemson in the top 4 and bump us to 5...I think in the event of an upset we stay at 4 and Clemson moves to 5 or even 6 and A&M moves up; people seem to like them this year.

Hard start and rough idle in a diesel I'd at least check the battery voltage and replace the fuel filter...

Turbos are the big item, seems to affect earlier years rather than later but all the 4.0t cars can develop the problem if they hadn't had the new oil screen and fittings applied. I saw a couple cars on CarFax that listed the turbos having been replaced, That would give me a little peace of mind. In the end the if the turbos fail it's not super catastrophic. You can buy upgraded turbos for less than 2k and the install is a DIY. Other than that oil separators, turbo coolant o-rings, and motor mounts are the main issues, with turbos and thermostats being less common.

It depends what kind of energy you are looking for. Just general daily energy and feeling better, as others have said, diet and exercise. If you need short-term energy in the morning or for a late project, etc. Dont waste your time with gas station energy drinks, Red Bull is not energy in a can. Get a true pre-workout drink or powder, C4 seems to be pretty available at most grocery stores. Vitamin Shoppe carries a few ready to drink brands in their cooler. I have a mix of powders I use in conjunction with sugar free Gatorade that get me so amped I can see thru time and space.

We have any members or contacts for tree cut-backs? I have a couple trees that have overgrown the roofline that I need cutback. Just seeing if anyone can offer assistance or a company that does decent work. This would be a 2-story roof-line.

The handles are cheap, but to get to the cable/mechanism that releases the door you have to remove the entire interior door panel.

Yep, it's been one of those weeks. The wife broke the outer handle of her Escalade(60k mi.) on Sunday, no big deal, ordered a new one on Amazon. Monday she goes to pick up dinner and comes in to tell me the inner handle doesn't work as well now. I don't see any way to get the panel off with the door closed. This ever happened to anyone? Is this a dealership issue? Locksmith? Interior Indy shop? Suggestions?

It has a Florida title. I've just never seen a VIN that doesn't come up in a search. Apparently it happens with imports.

I came across an outrageous deal on a Panamera Turbo that I'm trying to purchase and there seems to be a hangup because the VIN isn't showing up for the bank. The car is from Dominican Republic and it was imported/registered in Florida, its LHD, nothing strange about it, well it's in km/h. The VIN shows up in the Porsche registry and also when it came thru the port of Miami. I know some people have actually brought in Japanese cars on here, even if the bank is ok, will I get a run-around trying to register/insure?

I've owned a couple good V6's in my earlier years. I had an S4 with the 2.7 and an '87 Regal. Both were quite fun and capable under high boost, they did however, sound like ass with the 6.

I had a CTS-V back in the day and it was a fun car, the ATS is becoming affordable. Anybody had one or know anything about it?

I've been trying to get an accurate appraisal for a car I'm interested in and the difference between KBB and Edmunds is quite substantial, about $10k higher on Edmunds. Which seems strange because after googling this same vs question most people say Edmunds low balls. Is one typically more accurate? Should I just split the difference?

Im gonna take a look at the q50, seems neat. I'm pushing 40 this year so cars like a WRX/Evo just don't make much sense anymore, feel like such a '20 something' tuner car. I need something more 'adult'.
