I found these pics a few years ago.

Nice looking Maverick ab, especially for a university student. The black vinyl roof actually looks good on it, and I always liked those color coded wheel discs.
2017 MB E400 , 2015 MB GLK350, 2014 MB C250
The vinyl roof and rear panel/body side mouldings were actually dark brown. The painted wheel discs looked good until bits of the white paint began to flake off. It had the Ford zero-feel power steering and 9” teacup drum brakes all around, so handling and stopping was not its strong suit.

I think your 2014 would have it already SXM capable in the radio. My 2008 Cobalt had SXM capability, but I never subscribed after the 6 month trial when I purchased it as used car.
I enjoy having the SXM in the 2014 and 2015 cars. It's a cheap 5$ month and runs about 13$ for both cars which they bill once a month because I let them set it up wrong. I wanted to pay $60 plus the music fees etc. and be done for the year.
I listen to music from the 50s and 60s which my wife hates. Soul Town (Motown) is my best liked station.
Only catch is the automatic renewal setup at higher rate which you can convert back into a new cheap plan if you miss the termination date to call and say "cancel me" or give me a cheap renewal.
I found that Hemmings Classic Car magazine wanted to do the same thing if I renewed by credit card. So I called instead. No way to renew by credit card without it automatically being imposed. I nearly didn't renew at all because of it. Cl Car has become a smidgen of what it used to be.

Most automotive magazines are going downhill, sad to say. My current favorites are BMW Car, CAR, EVO, Thoroughbred and Classic Cars, and Roundel. The first four are British while Roundel is the BMW CCA monthly magazine.
This month BMW Car is combining with the tuner oriented magazine Performance BMW and will become Total BMW; the jury is out as to the success of that move.
I prefer the Brit mags as they usually feature a more technical orientation and aren’t dumbed down like all too many US car mags(and websites).

What can you tell me about the suburb of Allison Park? A companion studio to the one my wife and daughter own just opened up there, and the owner was asking some questions about building the business up.
Just curious what you can tell me.
Thanks!

Having it sent to my app won't help since I don't have data. My $3 a month plan only allows phone calls or texting.

My Cruze has had a seep on a line that feeds oil to the turbo. It finally speeded up
the drip rate and started leaving oil spots on my almost new driveway.
I looked for the videos on youtube. Found it's easy to replace if you have the
right sized larger torx male and female tools. Only 5 screws/bolt involved.
Ordered part from Dorman on Amazon since ACDelco was not available.
Took 20 minutes work time this morning including getting out the
right size sockets. Only problem was the shape of the tube from Dorman
was slightly off and I had to bend it so I could push in the end with the
two o-rings. None of the guys doing it in the videos had this trouble; theirs
just went right in!
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
Thanks for checking it out for me. I didn't read the app part when I skimmed the ad the first time....I just figured if it is XM I am going to go through a lot of trouble to actually not pay for 3 months service....do I need this complication in my life?

Sorry to be late responding but I just got back in here after dinner and helping Son #1 with his newest rental property.
I’m not familiar with Allison Park. It’s North of the Burgh and I’m in an eastern suburb. What little I have heard about it is favorable and seems to be growing a bit vs. my burb has been kind of stagnant the last few years.
Maybe @pensfan83 can help with more info but for some reason I think he’s South of the Burgh.

What kind of info are you looking for? I nearly bought a house there when we thought we were going to be in Pittsburgh long term.

@Sandman6472 , glad to hear maybe this lawsuit is coming to an end. So who determines the payout? Does the judge come up with something arbitrary? What were the lawyers asking for? 28,000 participants is … dang. That’s alot. I agree you’ll get next to nothing. I mean, even at something like $50M, you might see $1000. Ridiculous.

I work with a guy who grew up in Pittsburgh. I’ll see him Monday. If you have some specific questions, I’ll ask him when I see him.

I'm rarely on Facebook but the community pages I belong are used frequently by local businesses, here's a few that might be worthwhile to join. It also seems, at least to me, that because the North Hills is easier to traverse than some other areas of the city it would be good to get in front of people in neighboring communities as well through Facebook, Nextdoor, etc.

It will take some work to dig down to the level you want, but the information is there.
Or look up one or more zip codes in the specific area, and use google like so:
"census data for 77021"
which happens to be my zip code. You will get results like this:

I am in the left lane as I have to turn off to the left 1/2 mile ahead.
There is a Mustang in front of me, about 30 car lengths ahead.
He signals left and goes into the left turning lane.....could be turning left at that intersection.
He comes to a stop, and almost instantly his right signal light comes on....at this point I am 15 car lengths behind him.
Obviously, he wants to come back into the left driving lane.
I'd like to go into the right lane but I can't turn back to see if it is clear, if he moves in front of me I'll probably hit him - if there is a car near my blind spot I'll probably hit him. If I hit someone that will be my fault.
I try to slow down enough so that if he does come into my lane I can take evasive action, steer away or stop.
Once I pass him, he turns back into the driving lane behind me.
We all make mistakes, going into the left turn lane was a mistake, but the bigger mistake IMO was signaling right when a car was coming up behind him in the lane he wanted to get into.
In fact, technically, the signal light should not even come on until the driver signaling is sure he is clear to go into the lane he wants to get into.
If he waited until all the cars went by him, and then turned on his signal light, he wouldn't have caused me to go on high alert and possibly suffer a panic attack.

I doubt it was a V8, the guy wasn't a speeder, probably an old dawdler guy, there are lots of those down here too. Actually, surprised the guy used a signal light, that is really rare, unfortunately it would have been better if he didn't use it.

I suspect bad driving is becoming a national epidemic. Locally, the PD has flatly admitted they aren't even looking at routine traffic infractions, so driving here has become "freeform" as I like to call it - pay special attention at stoplights. Turn signals, maybe sometimes. We also have some wide "stroads" that are attractive to street racers and wild speeders.
As you guys already know, I had two back operations about a year ago (Nov & Dec) but got no relief. I’ve been to pain doctors and had the epidurals - no relief. I live in constant pain. I need a walker to navigate.
I went to see my oncologist about my liver cancer and he was very pleased I have survived 6 years with no recurrence. He ordered a PET-Scan to reinsure I have no spread this year. The results of the PET-Scan showed a lesion at my T-12 vertebrae. So my primary care physician ordered a STAT MRI of my thoracic and lumbar spine with and without contrast which will be performed on Monday morning.
I just don’t seem to get a break. If it looks malignant they will do a biopsy. If it looks benign they will try to get me a neurosurgeon to remove it if it has not affected my spinal cord.
I haven’t been able to sleep for days.

There is a bill in Congress right now to end that Windfall Provision Act and it should be stricken from the books really. We postal workers put in our fair share into s s so why on earth do we not get our full amount. It's down-right un-American really, to pay into something but being told we can't get the same amount as everyone else. Totally unfair & utterly ridiculous as I pay into s s like you & everyone else in here. Just really pisses me off as it's really my money they are taking away!
Rant over!

Did you work a separate job for the SS eligibility or was that a part of what is described
in this description as postal workers choosing to have SS withheld after 1983/4 when the
Windfall Profits law was enacted by Congress?
https://www.helpadvisor.com/social-security/postal-workers
I recall at the time the typical discussion was about military folks or
police/fire who can work fairly short periods of 20/25 years and get a
full retirement plan paid for partly from government funds and then work
in other jobs and retire with full SS benefits. I.E., work from 20-45 or so
and then work from age 40-65 and take retirement with SS as a separate retirement
on top of the other one. Both being government funded retirement plans
in the examples usually cited by the proponents at the time. "Double dipping"
I believe was the phrase used at the time of discussion.
It sounds like you were caught by the bigger net and hurt by that ruling?
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
Sandy, the pain management doctors I have seen all want me to take morphine pills - 30 mg. I refuse to take opioids - they constipate me and they make me woozy - I would not be able to drive. I can’t take muscle relaxers or drugs to reduce inflammation because I take blood thinners. So I just suffer unless I am in my adjustable bed (Temperpedic).
If this lesion is causing my pain, it can be corrected. Thanks for your input.
