Been considering a switch from my SE 2nd Gen to an iPhone 14. Close to the same size, but with that improved camera and 5G. But trading in my SE means I need to get an unlimited data plan even though we rarely even dent our current 8GB shared plan.

I appreciate that, thanks!
She looked a lot sadder when I picked her up. She had been sitting for years neglected. But I've really enjoyed being able to fix her up piece by piece. I'm not mechanically inclined, so I let the professionals do that. But anything cosmetic, interior or exterior, has been a lot of fun fixing/upgrading/replacing. I source the parts on eBay or Rock Auto and try to keep it OEM as much as possible. I would never do this with any of my BMWs, but hard to screw up with an old Chevy. She needs some bodywork to make her 100% perfect, but all in due time. Although I have other cars, this has become my anxiety-free daily. Here is photo from the day I bought her: |

Since my insurance doesn't want to cover it.
A fraction of what the local pharmacies want: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074F1RWV9...f_=as_li_ss_tl

Can't post a pic but these arrived today. Just ordered on Thursday from DTO. Unbelievably cheap 47.50 (normally $189) for the hard floor cleaner and 27.50 (norm $109) for the steam mop / cleaner. I'll use the steam cleaner on the car too. Just got done using both and am thrilled with how well they work! Sale ends in a few hours I think. Sadly I get packages almost weekly from DTO now, the Ryobi stuff is such a good deal when on blow out I can't help myself lol.

My wife loves her X3M40i (it's a 2021). We got every option EXCEPT for the Sport Dampening Suspension, which at the time was marketed as providing "a more sporty driving experience". She didn't want a harsh ride, but as it turns out that option provides the exact OPPOSITE - it gives a more comfortable ride. So our X3 rides pretty stiff so a definite marketing failure there in terms of description. Worst part is, it was only $700 so it wasn't even about the money.
Hope you got the Harmon Kardon system, I will say that when you get it set up just right along with a good source for audio, its absolutely amazing. And I'm comparing that to the B&W system in my M850i... |

We did it first time 6.5 years ago. Got our flight cancelled at 5:50 pm from Philadelphia, got rental and got to the hotel there at 4 am... Still had fun!
Took no chance this time, left home early on Thursday, driving down there for 10 hours. Got full experience this time with Zentrum tour instead of factory visit (had it last time). Drove to Washington DC and spent a night downtown visiting museums on Saturday. Plan to do it again in 6 years. |

Pulled all the chrome badges - replaced (some) with black chrome.
Also, little hard to believe a car of this level of tech, which has wireless charging and the ability to start and drive the car with your cellphone and a fingerprint - requires a cable for Car Play or Android Auto. So, $90 bucks for carlinkit will fix that. And - work to doggie proof the car (though, there's really no such thing with my dogs). But...it's a start. Instead of WeatherTech - I'm going to try TuxMat for the front, went with Custom Mats for the back.
