You wanna talk depreciation? That's M-B's middle name. I grabbed my 2017 E400 (still had the rear facing seats) with 51K miles for under $32K out the door in late 2023. The only option it didn't come with was the heated steering wheel (originally sold in California). The sticker was still in the glove...

About 2 months before I retired from the Army, I got sent to Dallas to preview the Special Ops variant of the V-22 and how the bubbas in the back could actually see the full sensor suite the guys up front could see. Turns out the Air Force project manager for that program was the cousin of a very close...

Subscribed. Hoping for a better year (personally) than last year. See you kooks out on the hills.

There's interest for sure but I'm pretty stacked in the 83/84 waist range. Have a pair of Montero ARs that I've never skied or I'd be on those 83s fo sho.

I have a pair of SunIce GTX shell pants that I'm 95% certain are mediums. Leg vents, light weight, more robust than they look/feel. And they're red so you'll be the fastest skinner in your group. My touring days are numbered for a variety of reasons and these just aren't going to get used. I think...

Free bump. Love my Pro 99s. My go-to ski here in VT anytime the snow is not bulletproof.

My feet don't really bother me unless it's well below 0F. Lucky me. I did use boot gloves when I was skiing on plugs a few years back. The key to those you have to put them on when the plastic is still warm. Putting the boot gloves on a frozen boot will ensure a miserable day. My wife is always cold...

USAA sucks. I've been with them for 42+ years - auto and homeowner/rental. I'm shopping around right now (my auto policy renews in December). Have had 3 minor claims; turkey flew into my windshield on a Volvo with 300K+ miles in 2007, minor parking lot collision with a light pole (damage was barely...
