Nobody's nuts enough to fight a land war with China.
Well no! That was what the Korean War was partially to all about. We killed 1M plus Chinese soldiers during that conflict. The Vietnam War had a large portion of China’s logistics. A lot of technical logistics was from then called USSR.
But, in Germany it can take years to get a license and most drivers know how to drive. Try driving on I-75 with a speed limit of 75, and tell me those people could drive on the Autobahn - it would look like a Russian Dash Cam video.
And Germany is more aggressive in vehicle inspection to help insure vehicle degradation is not a liability. So, poor driver ed + poor vehicle maintenance + low driver discipline + high center of gravity SUVs and trucks + unlimited speed = winning. That's a math I don't understand.
I say we should do it and we can stay off the interstates while darwinism thins out the heard. It's a win for u

Last week these two motorcycle guys were zigzagging through traffic on a highway in Florida. After passing a car one motorcyclist clipped his friend, that sent his bike over the side of an overpass - he fell 100 feet to his death. Dash cam video
The forecast for the next few days is for gale-force winds due to a cold front moving south across South Florida. It's starting to blow pretty hard right now and will intensify as the front passes with winds hitting us from the northeast at 30-40 mph. Expected to last a few days. Interestingly enough, the temperatures are not going to be that much lower once the front passes - today in the mid to upper 80's, tomorrow and Wednesday, lower 80's. Go figure.
Keep your 30 to 40 mph winds down there........we have temps between 75 and 82 for the next week, could have thunderstorms Tues and Wed though.
The dash cam link video does not link. Motorcycle fatality’s & accidents-injuries have been @ acknowledged @ epidemic levels.

It’s not likely that you’ll be involved, unless you like to drive creating accident potential type situations. Most fatalities/accident-injuries happen within a 25 mile radius of one’s home! I would also guess that most people drive in their own state which can make a state way worse to way better than the averages. Unless of course, one drives in all 50 states,

Interstates are actually very safe. I know the Interstate 5 between OR to Los Angeles, CA is almost boringly safe. One has to be very dangerous or work hard to get into or cause a fatality/accident-injury.
The motorcycle “death “ link this is actually very good? That link would imply that the perp might have gotten their just rewards, & so it didn’t involve anybody else!?
A motorcycle RANGE: it’s almost like a man with a tiny bladder having to go # 1 every 20 minutes. Most riders are totally tired after 180 miles.

Do you want sympathy for the 40 mph winds? Or the 80 deg?
Just a few months ago I almost got rear ended because I had the audacity to stop for a school bus that had stopped to pick up some children. Looking in my rear view mirror I could tell he was pissed about it. Shame on me for being so inconsiderate.
When I was driving I witnessed a number of accidents where the first car stopped for my bus and got rear ended by the second.

We’ve had those same winds up here but with mid 20s temperatures it feels like the deep freeze. On top of that people are losing power so no heat. Lot of wires down. Thaankfully the leaves are off most trees so mainly dead wood is falling.

I am in Orlando right now instead of South Florida and we had a slight wind today over in Port Orange and New Smyrna Beach but nothing to speak of. It was a coolish breeze but the sun was out and temps were in the high 70's. My wife works for Turbo Tax as a CPA, her 4th year there now. So many folks just do not read which is 90% of their issues. A computer program can't think, it takes whatever the person types in and does it's thing. Folks just aren't puting in the right info most of the time!

I forgot to mention, I think the $1 charge for gas happens this way. At some stations they ask to authorize your VISA payment......they have your card and they test it by charging you $1........to get authorized though I have to put in my ZIP code.
The fraudsters probably put my stolen card number into the reader, got charged $1 to authorize, didn't have my ZIP code, so couldn't buy gas.
It would be interesting if the fraud squad checked video at the time of the sale in MacDonalds, Cornbread, or the gas station....but, no one cares - just write it off.

My CPA says Turbo Tax is the best thing that ever happened to him--but I think what he meant is what you just said--people don't use it correctly and create a big steaming pile.
The last taxing reporting statement I was waiting for became available a few days ago. It's 25 pages long, although a lot of pages don't have numbers. I'll give to my CPA.

What kind of mpg do you get from your 2015 MB GLK 350?
How many Benz owners do you know that care about gas mileage? I don't know of any myself. FWIW, MPG has never been the slightest consideration with any car I have EVER owned and none have been MB's.

@ least 94 MB GLK 350 owners on fuelly.com. & obviously not you, as a self professed NON MB owner. So if you don’t care, & not a MB owner, let alone a GLK 350 owner, why do you care that the question was posed?

I'm taking my Legacy to the shop today to get the rear bumper cover replaced. My insurance company insists I use Enterprise for a rental. When I talked to Enterprise they asked what brand, model, and year my car is.
Why would they need to know that? It has no bearing on anything. I asked and the lady just said it's a question on the form she is using. I suspect it's a question my insurance company wants them to ask...at least I hope that's it.
She also said I will have to provide a credit card. Why? I'm not paying for the rental.

You should hear some of the interrogations that go on in our offices. I assume that some of it is to try to match you with a car you’ll be happy with but other questions sound designed to detect suspicious or even criminal intent. Drug dealer routinely rent cars to make deliveries so if caught their personal car isn’t seized. Also, I can see them asking young people things like where they are going in case they’re renting a car just to beat up in street races down the block.
Then again, maybe they sell your info to car dealers so you can get junk mail.

Like OF I’m guessing they’re trying to match your current car with the rental as best as possible. The credit card is in case you damage the rental.
What kind of mpg do you get from your 2015 MB GLK 350?
Good question......I have no idea. My wife drives it 99% of the time and she never resets the odometer. My 2017 E400 gets 26 US mpg and the 2014 C250 gets 29 US mpg. I am satisfied with those numbers, and my guess is the GLK is a little heavier than the C250, but the engine isn't as efficient as the E400...if I was to guess I would say 24 or 25 mpg. It has the same engine as my 2015 E350 and that is what it got.
What would you think ruking and why are you asking? You have to learn to ignore jmonroe1 sometimes. Just be thankful he hasn't told any really long stories lately. He is also upset because his Genesis....his Mercedes wannabe car, isn't known for getting great mileage, which is one reason it is a wannabe.

jmonroe
I don't worry about gas mileage too much but I don't like to intentionally waste gas, and I like a car to be efficient. But, 2 or 3 gallons difference won't be a deal breaker, other factors are much more important.
Having a car that is fun to drive and that is efficient just adds to the pleasure of owning it. Once I was tempted to get a G wagon which gets about 12 mpg at the time....that would bother me.
I’ve owned several MBs, and I care about fuel efficiency enough to calculate it with every fillup.
Me too!
Since I enjoy the way the car rides and handles, the safety features, the design, the ergonomics, etc.,..I get even more satisfaction knowing it uses fuel efficiently.

I think they try to match you up with a similar car, because that is what the insurance company wants you to have. They want your credit card in case something goes wrong with collecting from the insurance company and if for some reason there are additional charges...say you use the rental longer than they will pay for....or you damage it.
I'd say quite a bit less. It has the aerodynamics of a brick, after all. Was your E350 AWD?
Unrelated, but sort of related, best I have done thus far with the 2018 330xi is a bit over 25mpg. I'm hardly ever gentle with it, though.
Yes, the E350 was AWD and is pretty heavy too. Although the GLK is shaped like a brick.....part of the charm and something we like about it....the boxy styling, I don't think it affects gas mileage at speeds up to about 70 mph which would be the absolute maximum my wife would go in it. I haven't looked it up but I THINK, the E350 is heavier than the GLK.

Fuel economy is a factor in acquiring information about particular cars. Didn’t think we needed any other reason. One of the reasons I like this site is that I learn a lot about all kinds of cars, most of which I’m never going to own. I just like cars.
Fuel economy is never a concern for my “fun” cars, but I do pay more attention with respect to my daily drivers- that’s why my Clubman is perfect for that role as it posts great fuel economy numbers and is still entertaining enough that I don’t mind driving it.

Unrelated, but sort of related, best I have done thus far with the 2018 330xi is a bit over 25mpg. I'm hardly ever gentle with it, though.

They want your credit card in case something goes wrong with collecting from the insurance company and if for some reason there are additional charges...say you use the rental longer than they will pay for....or you damage it.
I think their requests are fair and in line.

I ended up with a Murano. Actually, for an SUV, it's pretty nice. It has all the doo-das and gee-haws.
I'll be glad when the Legacy is finished.

I took the Murano and before I got home I noticed a scraping noise coming from under the car. I took it back, a guy crawled under it, and he brought out a tree branch.
