List of things to bring to dealership:

Only there's a problem: adding refrigerant takes approximately four seconds. Dealers charge you $100 for the job, and the majority of that cost is the refrigerant itself. So you gotta wonder: if a car is sitting at a dealership, which includes a service department, and the air conditioning simply "needs a charge"… WHY…

I don't believe that it is work that NEEDS to be done, but something that has always been recommended.

The M5 is amazing. The power is incredible, and the LSD does make a difference off the line and through the corners. The only issue is that VANOS system. If it goes in a big way, you need a new engine. Even if it doesn't, it isn't a cheap fix. I also think the wheels are better on the M-Sport.

The second I've only had a few days, and it does need some work. The first was very reliable. There is an issue with the brake booster, a design flaw, that allows it to fill with water in a heavy storm. It sits down in a section of the engine bay that has a tiny drain that gets filled with leaves and those annoying…

Sold the first to purchase the second. The "new" one is very low mileage (around 35k). The first one had just over 100k and was still as tight as a drum.

I'm on my second one now. They are amazing.

I was baffled by the slide. Less than 2 minutes to go? Slide. 5+ left and the other team has 3 TO left? Game is still on.

Simply having AWD doesn't make your car impervious to all weather conditions.

People that do this should have their driving license revoked.

Since sat-nav has been suggested already, I'm going to say integrated rear seat entertainment systems. Most of them cost upwards of $2,000 for two screens in the back of the head rest. For much less, you could get a few cell-connected tablets and cases that mount to the seat. Then you not only have the entertainment…

I agree that the seat being empty shouldn't matter, as long as you aren't jumping to a higher class with more amenities. But that isn't the way it works. This airline has a policy. That policy is that the exit row seats cost more. If you want to sit in them, then you pay. They can't just give them away.

Customer service is not giving away product. If your seat costs $X and you want to move to a seat that also costs $X, no problem. The flight attendant should even help you move.

So an airline is supposed to just let people do whatever they want when the door closes? Sure. Go ahead and jump into first class for free. The door is closed and the seat is empty, so why not? Airlines are a business, not a charity. If they charge for the exit row, then tough shit if it is empty and you don't want to…

Damn it. All these pictures of adorable kitties makes me miss my buddy. He was so cuddly. RIP buddy, you are sorely missed.

Yes. Yes it was.

Rumors of seats and possibly a gearbox of some sort are still being denied
