If she can beat $359 for 7 Days to Cabo/Puerto/etc in March for a balcony room (non suite). Ill take it now! Thats what I paid for my last cruise last year in March. Can't really beat that price...I cant even stay in a hotel down the street from my house for 2 days and pay that amount. Let alone food, alcohol, etc..

My Norweigan cruise was almost double the carnival cruise. A little better food, but a lot older crowd.

Yeah....Carnival is a younger, more roudy crowd. They are a discount line. Most lines won't go to those ports anymore due to violence at the port. But just about any line will be a good deal versus flying to one destination and having to pay for food, lodging and entertainment. It all comes down to personal preference. If you have had a good time, you tend to return. If not, you try something else.

Where do you guys take your cars for service?

I have been going to Pinnacle Nissan for the past year or so..

I think I pay $100 every time or close to it. Synthetic Oil.

Last time I went in, they wanted $800 for the 60,000 mile service.

My oil temps are thru the roof and I need to get the big service done somewhere.

I haven't had to take mine in yet.

I've only had to do one oil change thus far and took it to a local shop that I've been using for almost ten years.

However, I don't know that I'll be able to use them anymore since this Berk exhaust hangs lower than the stock, which barely rubbed on the floor-guard things as I drove over them.



When the time comes, I'm not sure which place I'll use. I guess Pinnacle has been the most straight forward with me and I can "trust" them more than the other dealerships.

[NickTurnon]

UPDATE:
Just took my car to Pinnacle Nissan-

Told them my base brakes were a little squeaky and that my oil temp has been high. The recommended we do the 60,000 mile service for the car since the original owner sold me the car right before it hit 30,000. He stated that with all the flushes, services, etc that the price would be somewhere around $800. So he wrote $800 on the paper and then listed the things they were going to do. I made sure that I asked him if the service was going to cost me exactly $800 and he said he would try and get the price lowered?

Anyways, he said it was about a 5-6 Hour job. Ill be here all day.

I'm on the West side and I just went to a Danny's Family Car wash. Talked the guy down to $100 for 15% all around (no windshield). He had the ceramic option, but I didn't want to pay more than $100 or so for tint. I think he was charging $200 or so for it?

I could be wrong on that price though, it was a while ago that I got the tint (4mos. ).

Found him on craigslist. Did a great job.

SPEAK UP

[Haboob]

If it had stayed at Westgate I definitely would have. I just read the FB page. Bummer it didn't.

Tempe Town Lake is just too far for me, at least on a week night.

I know... excuses, but I'm already downtown for work, then would have to go home and go all the way back to the East valley. Yuck.

[NickTurnon]

Yeah, makes sense.

I have another '13 rolling with tomorrow. Ill post photos.

Thanks Haboob
