That’s what you get when you buy a wannabe. Don’t take offense, I worked with a guy once who always had to have a car in warranty. He used to say, “I always wanna be covered for engine problems and I always wanna be covered for transmission problems and I always wanna be covered for A/C problems and I always wanna be… “ I’m sure you get the idea since you have a wannabe.
We hope you’re feeling better today.

I just provided tenderloin steaks for a family get together. $30/lb. $250 for about 10 people.

traded in one of the cars and gottena G90.
I'm really interested in finding out if someone actually defrauded ODJFS and got
payment. My wife's record is pretty well embedded in Ohio records via her SS number
and having a teaching license, which means the employment record with schools is
easily available as public information.

I’m sure that there are ways but I wouldn’t know how to move the money out of an account without leaving a trail.

Anyway, still under $500 for saving about 20 hours in the car, not to mention the wear and tear and miles.

They better be tender at that price.

You should have just rented a UHaul truck while you are down there.
When my youngest brother went to Myrtle Beach the same week we went in early August, he and his wife got a great price on plane tickets with Spirit Airlines so he jumped on them before the plane was sold out. Like you he was going to get screwed with a rental car (almost 2 grand all in) so he looked some more. Finally, he rented a 2 seater commercial work van (like one of those tall Amazon jobs) from Hertz for a tad over $300 for the week. He had lots of room for grocery shopping.
You would have had a ball with that. Lots of room for picking up stuff at the big box stores for your new beach place.

Try to get it cheaper without owning the cow. Beef prices have gone through the roof.

Tell me about it. All that was needed was that hacking job by the trouble making Russians to drive the price up. We’re going to pay dearly for the ransom that was paid out by that meat packing house more than 2 months ago. There was no way that was coming out of their pocket.

Price increases over the 2 years at Kroger have been strong.
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
For me, the G90 is not a wannabe because I’ve owned or leased most of the cars a wannabe strives to be (S450, 740i, Lexus 450). Haven’t owned a A8, but that is not my kinda car.
As for feeling better, a little. Tomorrow is the tell-all day because it will be 48 hours since the procedure. I am able to stand and walk without severe pain and I am 🙏 praying I will have even more relief tomorrow. I had to cancel therapy this morning because I was still woozy from the morphine they gave me IV after the procedure.
It seems the doctor injected strong squirts of saline into my coccyx area to break down scar tissue up the spinal canal. Then several injections of steroids into the L3/L4 space and adjacent foramen structures to reduce swelling and irritation/inflammation. At least that’s what I heard him say while under the influence of morphine.

if I needed a car down here for any reason, I would shoot for the van first even if I had nothing to carry.

Friday night is usually single malt scotch night here. I have a pretty good collection of bottles I’ve put away over the last 15 years or so. Tonight I opened one of the best, a Macallan cask strength (58.9%) I bought 15 years ago. You just can’t buy whisky like this these days. I’m told this goes for $700 on the secondary market now, which is at least 10 times what I paid for it. It is incredibly good.

I think you and @Mike ought to have a drink-off some Friday night. I’ll officiate. I’d like to taste some of the free stuff he’s gotten over the years. I wouldn’t mind sampling some of the stuff you buy too. I’ll do my best to be fair about this but bribing the official is fine with me.

The maintenance is not free. It is prepaid
The continuous glucose monitor is wonderful if working and a PITA if not. I usually have someone with a spare if I have issues thankfully.
Peaty or Smokey???
I had a friend give me some Pappy VanWinkle. Have not opened it yet. (I realize that it is not Scotch )
Pappy is tough to find. Heck even Buffalo Trace is, but I got lucky the other day and found a bottle at the rip off store in Wildwood. Overpaid by $8-10 but it was worth it.
I’m more of a bourbon guy, but that Macallan is good stuff.

Hey, thanks for the tip!!
I just scored a Uhaul van for $20/day plus 59 cents a mile! This will cost me about $200 for the week, at most.

I did recently receive a 1 L bottle of Gentleman Jack Tennessee Whiskey. I took a few tastes and it seemed a bit smoother than regular Jack Daniels. Supposedly double charcoal filtered. I am not a whiskey lover, but this isn’t too bad. I prefer scotch - single malt.
2021 Genesis G90
According to my New Vehicle Sticker, it states “complimentary maintenance for first 3 years or 36,000 miles”. To me, that’s free maintenance. It says nothing about pre-paid maintenance.
But I question your need to correct my statement mjfloyd1! If someone else or Genesis Division prepaid my maintenance, then is that not free to me - without additional cost? It is included with the car purchase, just like the engine, wheels, etc. There are no options on this car.
2021 Genesis G90
It is included in the car purchase price. Genesis factored the cost of the prepaid maintenance in when they calculated the MSRP. It is prepaid and included for the price that you paid for the car. You don’t have to pay any EXTRA for it. Sounds like we agree.
My old X3m40i had prepaid maintenance too. It was included in the price of the car. I didn’t pay any EXTRA for it. My Audis don’t include prepaid maintenance. I had to pay EXTRA for it.
Even my two 4xes include the Jeep wave prepaid maintenance for three years of oil changes and tire rotations. I paid for it when I bought the Jeeps. It isn’t free. It was included in the purchase price. It was factored into Jeep’s calculations to determine MSRP.
I assume you have the V8 G90 vs the V6 G90? AWD or RWD?

That’s great @sda, it certainly worked in your favor.
Audi also increases residual by 1% for leases that buy the Audi prepaid maintenance plans.
Audi will refund for unused prepaid maintenance if the car gets totaled. They refunded on the Q7. I don’t know how that would work if you didn’t pay for the prepaid maintenance though.
I think there is some hair-splitting going on in terms of maintenance-included vs prepaid maintenance.
Many of the European makes sell various flavours of prepaid maintenance as an option at the time of new-car purchase, no different than optional wheels or paint protection. Other makes include various level of “free” maintenance with the purchase of a new vehicle. It may be your first oil change, 2 years of scheduled maintenance (I think Buick does this), or as in the case of my Cadillac, 4 years. All of those things cost something of course, either to the manufacturer or the dealer. So does the free coffee and donuts in the service lounge. I doubt you will get a better deal if you vow never to indulge in those. It all comes out of the profit margin. The price of the vehicle is all subject to negotiation. I don’t know how negotiable the M-B or BMW maintenance plans are.
2017 Cadillac ATS Performance Premium 3.6
Sounds like a we agree too.
You pay more for a MB / Audi / BMW and get “free” donuts and coffee. Those things, like oil and filters have a cost. Some people are willing to pay the extra dollars to be treated better and some people do not see the value.
Last time that I checked, Audi and MB prepaid maintenance only had a $100 markup. It seemed like BMW had more markup but I honestly don’t recall. I’m glad that I didn’t buy it for the X3m40i that I just got rid of since it would have been wasted money.
Since I am a diabetic, free donuts and bagels are of no benefit to me. The free coffee is nice, but with Genesis, I’m lucky I have maintenance included because they don’t serve anything except free coffee which tastes awful.
BTW, wheel alignment is included once each year as are wiper blades and discs and pads. Another nice add-on.
2021 Genesis G90
@sda you can buy more prepaid maintenance plans from your Audi dealer for the upcoming services. I believe they are sold in sets of two upcoming services IIRC
I have the 3.3 L V6 twin turbo @365 hp and 375 lb ft of torque with RWD. According to all the reviews, the V6 was the best choice for power (0-60 times are identical) and fuel economy, not to mention MSRP of of about $3000 less.
I bought the car for $69,550 + fees, tax and registration/title. My trade was valued at $56,000, so my tax liability was only about $890. I got it financed through Genesis at 1.9% for 60 months.
2021 Genesis G90
Are those really wire wheels or are they kinda like the old BBS “weave” wheels?
V6TT seems to have a nice wide torque curve too.
It’s called “multi-spoke wheel” which is not really spokes, but looks like spokes from the distance. I did not like the standard wheels in “option group 1” - these multi-spoke wheels are on the “option group 2” vehicle.

May be cheaper to just use an independent shop too??
It's not truly free as you pay for it, it's just buried in the cost of the car. You can bet your bottom dollar that they raised the price or cut costs somewhere.

They can afford those “freebies” because they are making a profit which is a reflection probably more so from profits off of used vehicles and service (vs new car prices depending on the dealership and their new car pricing structure). Profits certainly can be spent as they see fit. Maybe that’s what they spend money on from charging absurd documentation fees
I'm glad to read that the injections and the prep work are having an effect now
and your pain is being attenuated.
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
and the Cruze in '15 both had 4 oil changes within two years as part of the purchase. The Cruze
had it as a CPO warranty. It was under a year old.
That included tire rotations, as well, on both vehicles.
My Chevy store never had bagels and cream cheese or donuts or anything. They did smile a
lot although a year or so ago I was insulted by the new car sales manager in that a Colorado and
Silverado on the showroom floor looked a whole lot the same. His response was to make me
feel ignorant for not realizing the difference in the vehicles. They still looked a lot the same to me especially from the "rear"-end view.

I have carbohydrate intolerance as well. Doesn’t that sound more pleasant than Diabetes?
