What is the Drivers Edge redemption points? I think I will get the bmw warranty because of the leak that ruined the electronics --It would have been very expensive to replace, and frankly just for the peace of mind..On the other hand the Audi has been even better than the Lesus cars I have owned, so I am going to take a chance on it...but if the sports suspension were to have a problem, then I loose.. In the past I have traded cars every four years, but I don`t see a car that is bettter than the ones we have so I am planning on at least another year or so.. I think .Tony

Did you see the new N97? Or maybe you're the E series type of guy?
 
The N97 does look interesting, but I'm pretty disappointed with the processing power. S60 Touch is a lot more resource demanding than S60v3 FP1 or FP2, and because of that the N97 is actually slower and has less usable memory than what I've got now. Not good considering the E90 is two years old.
 
The Pre and the iPhone 3GS just have loads more horsepower under their hoods compared to the N97, as does the S60 Touch based Samsung Omnia HD, surprisingly enough. I'd be more interested in the Samsung if it used the N97's UI as opposed to the same crappy "TouchWiz" setup they use on their WM phones.

I do know for some reason the new E will have sell really well, why? Because some people want a benz no matter its good or bad.
 
I don't know what it is about that car, but the E always crushes the mid-lux competition, no matter how old or outdated it gets. The latest version is supposed to be much less bland to drive, and it's a lot more affordable than the last one, so I have no doubt that the E will continue to walk away with the segment once again.

Neighbor, recently divorced, got herself an '09 A4 'verte 2 months ago. Last weekend, she left it out on Saturday and the rains came while she was unaware the top was down in the driveway!
 
Well, another neighbor came to the rescue before a disaster occurred. I was out of town but recently gave her religion....in NJ, always keep the top UP when you get out. This is not L.A.!!

Tony,
 
Unfortunately, I'm on my mobile, which makes providing links impractical, vs a pc.
 
Driver's Edge redemption points are a reward program for a Citi Plat c-card. No membership fees. If you visit Citi website for c-cards you can get all the details.
 
Off the top of my head, you can rack up a certain amount of pts for one year (I think it's 1K-1500-ish, again apologize for lack of link). You can bank up to 5K rewards pts total at one time (1 pt = 1 dollar).
 
Racking up pts is something like 1% from any purchase, a higher % for gas stations, grocery stores, etc.
 
You can redeem pts for documented maintenance over, I think, 25$. They will cover everything except taxes. It does cover labor. Does not cover new tires.
 
You can also redeem pts on purchase of new or used vehicle (5K limit remember).
 
In addition, you can register one vehicle for odometer pts. You get pts for miles driven. Submit a voucher of service w/odometer reading & 2 birds are killed w/1 stone.
 
I'm not trying to advert for Citi, just give some details. I'm positive one can find a free c-card w/comporable benefits in another fashion, like cash back.
 
I have used the program to pay for maintenance on my fleet for years, including the tranny replacement on my Acura. Roughly 1500, all covered but an appx 30$ tax charge.

A good neighbor is hard to find. Similar situation here a few days ago. Rain came out of nowhere & took a look outside. A neighbor had his car parked outside with sunroof open. My wife & I ran over & tarped his car. Long story short, once he got back, he thanked us with a caveat. He's ex-Navy, water doesn't bother him.
 
Oh well, I'd do the same thing again, just not for him. Ha!

This one's worth covering up for anyone!

Agg, my current dream: to have time and opportunity to try a 135i convert and a Z4 one after the other in a scenario like that. BTW, that of the pic is a nice car, a nice color in a nice place.
 
But I am busy at work, and with my home windows covered in scaffolds and protective nets, and having meetings with the foreman a couple of times a day. Being up and down like the monkey and the giraffe to inspect the works. Better going to the office or th the lab even for having rest.
 
Regards,
Jose
PS: If someone of you golfers would like to watch an interview to Seve Ballesteros at his home after his recovering from a brain tumor (olygoastrocytoma, three surgeries), I could post the link. Impressive how physically and mentally fit looks Seve again.
