Since it is close to me I figured I would swing on through even so I didn't need a charge (59% on arrival). Nice little spot if you happen to be traversing GA400 or the northern part of loop I-285 in Atlanta, located in Sandy Springs Georgia at MB's North American HQ campus. Cost is .50/KWH -...

Just wanted to post because this really grinds my gears as it is borderline elderly abuse/scamming. The mother (late 70's) of my significant other has a decent low mileage 2012 Infiniti EX35, good condition and has only had a couple small issues over the years. Since its an older Infiniti it...

Well the 1 year mark has come and gone - put ~7200 miles on it in that time on my CPO 2021 ID.4 AWD Pro S. Was previously owned by my sales guy who piled ~15.6k miles on it in the 8 months in his care. Now sitting ~22.8k miles and is just ~2 years old (10/2021 build date). Driving: Very...

So an impatient driver put my ID.4 in the body shop ~2 weeks ago, fortunately no one hurt just a Lexus ES350 that pit maneuvered itself against my drivers front. We both have same insurance carrier (Progressive) and they deemed other driver 100% at fault so it has been shockingly smooth, I will...

Hopefully not posting in the wrong forum - if not mods please move. Figure its auto related as its an auto club. :ROFLMAO: Have always slapped the roadside assist on my insurance policy which is just under $2/month. While my ID.4 has roadside assist courtesy of VW CPO unfortunately they will...

Latest rental car from a trip to Minnesota was a 2022 Camry SE AWD (didn't even know they made AWD Camry - have never seen one down south). Put 507 miles on it over a long weekend to go to visit the parents at their lake house - was a trip from Minneapolis airport to Bemidji area so it was...

I wanted to come to post this as it we had such a blast and it was a great experience. So Land Rover has experience centers in Asheville, NC at Biltmore Estate (where we did experience), Manchester, VT and Carmel, CA. We learned about the experience this past February when we were biking around...

Latest rental car was a 2023 Hyundai Sonata SEL. Picked up at DLH airport (Duluth, Minnesota) for a quick 4 day family trip, this is a very small regional airport so the pickings are very slim so I was offered either a Ram truck or the Sonata - yup I'll take the Sonata. 2023 Hyundai Sonata SEL...

Well after 5.5 years my condo is so close to the profit level I had set as my sell point so despite interest rates not being optimal I'm taking the plunge as units in my complex are still moving pretty quickly (under 30 days) and I want to cash out now just in case housing market takes a plunge...

MBUSA Q1 2023 Sales - EQ series 11.9% of new sales Cliffs notes: - EV's ~11.9% of new Q1 2023 sales. - EQ line is up 251% YoY. - EQS sedan was about 40% of overall S class sales in 2022. (10,090 EQS vs 15,927 ICE S Class) I think once MB gets the rest of the lineup electrified with true EQ...

Range Rover hatch destroyed in car wash Only thing I can think is this Range Rover has a kick to open feature and it was somehow activated by the car wash although the brushes don't seem to be anywhere near where you would kick under the bumper to activate. I can tell you my ID.4 has kick to...

So just wanted to post that if you happen to be traversing I-24 between Nashville and Chattanooga and need a little break there is a neat little museum of cast iron by Lodge along with a factory store and a great little breakfast and lunch restaurant. It's not a huge museum and you can get...

Watching an old movie threw me back into memory mode to remember the good old Mercedes single wiper. Here is a good video on the marvel Mercedes mono wiper. Mercedes single wiper on W124 Worked quite well on my '86 300E - only bad I can recall is on high speed it did induce a side to side...

Took a quick weekend trip to Chattanooga to visit some of the sights and get out of Atlanta for a minute. This was my first "optimal" weather trip to see what I can expect for road tripping during non-winter months. Longest leg was our outbound where we went Atlanta->South Pittsburg, TN to pay...

GLI in signature (its the other half daily driver) the car suddenly started having issues on a commute home last Tuesday. Clutch not engaging until very top of pedal and shifting into gear was impossible and this was after a short drive on the freeway. Finally had the car towed to VW dealer...

Unfortunately have the 20" staggered wheel setup on my ID.4 so all season tires are very limited to exactly 4 tires at the moment (4th just came online within past couple weeks). The CrossClimate2's are the only one of the 4 that are not "EV tuned" so range hit is going to be a thing, despite...

Holidays have become much more of a chore with my family. Thanksgiving to Xmas is just a bunch of arguing and stress. This year I have eschewed all the traditional celebration and so far it has been stress free. Thanksgiving we skipped the traditional at home celebration and instead cooked a...

Rufford Ford - Deep water compilation Stumbled upon this a couple weeks back and have been hooked on the YouTube compilations. After some research on fords I now know why fording depth was such a key selling point for Land Rovers as GB has pretty much all of them. Australia has a deadly one...
