  1. I almost bought that car a year ago having been a previous CTS V owner. That's a damn nice car. Throw up some pictures if you don't mine. If I hadn't done the Mach 1 the CT5 Blackwing was my second choice.
  2. I ordered a Mach 1 in September of 2021. Put a $500 deposit on my credit card. They sold it to me at MSRP. Since I missed the 2021 build I get a 2022 so I will pay probably 1k more. Build started on 420 and finished on April 22. Testing takes a few days and it shipped to the dealer today. Hopefully I have it within a week. I wanted a manual so that eliminated pretty much every car but this one. If you want a Mach 1 better hurry because they only produce them from April to October. The hard part is to get your dealer to actually put your order in. They would much rather put in dealer orders that they can sell with a mark up. If it weren't for a friend who knows the McCombs family i'd probably still be waiting. This is my actual car https://www.saford.com/new-San+Antonio-2022-Ford-Mustang-Mach+1-1FA6P8R07N5551260
  3. The first time I went to Belize was in August. Two things. It's the offseason. Maybe things are different in 2022 with so many people traveling but don't be surprised if its dead. Might be what you are looking for but if you are looking for a Mexico type party you might be disappointed. Two it's off season because its freaking hot. Like Houston hot and humid. As a Texan it didn't really bother me but I can understand why a lot of people don;t go to Belize in August
  4. I'm about to do this as well. Esp with the Plat lounges being a joke these days and San Antonio only has a United Club. Per the Chase associate even though I got the United Explorer card and 70k pts a year ago I can still get the infinite 120k bonus. Per my spreadsheet I just moved down to 4 on the Chase 5/24 rule as of a week ago. I'd probably go ahead and dump my CSP and as soon as I finish my UK trip next month on AA I'll close my Barclay to lose some annual fees. That would leave me with AX Plat, Hilton Amex, Delta AX, Chase freedom (which I might also close) SWA and Citi Premier. Has anyone successfully called Chase and found out if you are under the 5/24?
  5. Yeah but have you seen the flight prices? I can usually get to BZE from SA for under $400. Everything is way north of $500. My special lady friend wants a beach vacation and I talked her out of Tulum to go to San Pedro. She tick tocked it and she's all geeked up
  6. Same camp for me being in SA. This is more pts related so I am going to post my CC plan on the pts thread.
  7. I'd like to hear more you work thought it. I am on a FB group called moving to CR and it's pretty informative but also some really dumb stuff. Was thinking the same. Bounce around to a few towns for 3-4 month stretches before buying
  8. Make sure you have 50 bedroom place for all the surly assholes who will be crashing with you
  9. This is my understanding. Several of the travel twits and bloggers etc are reporting back that the general attitude and customer service with United is excellent. Personally I had a small issue in flying with my kids for spring break. United was very accommodating even putting us in a prem economy seat for free as a gesture.
  10. United is going to climb the airline ranks quickly.
  11. Twitters says Skipp had surgery here in the US today and will obviously be out for the remainder of the season
  12. Where are the pics? Anything left handed is a bitch. I am left handed due to being blind in my right eye so I shoot left even though I'm right. Hard because my son is right so we have to share. Always interested in left stuff
  13. Well if I wasn't an honest person: 9 of you would be getting free gloves. Clearly Amazon had a fullflment problem. If for any reason they don't want them back then it's give away time unless you have hobbit fingers. But I doubt the want to give away $300 worth of gloves
  14. That was my understanding of why they were able to underbid the majors for decades is that they did a great job of hedging their fuel costs for years and years
  15. Damn college girls and their tights bodies and loose morals. Definitely avoid that place. You'll be much better off at one of the older bars where the avg age is 60 and they do lines of viagra in the bathroom and the women keep Dr. Bob in business In 15 years I have never paid a cover charge and I didn't pay one yesterday..checks notes. it was the wknd. Must be much later in the evening and lets not forget the same person is asking about going to strip clubs so I doubt a $5 cover charge is much of a concern. No doubt its not for everyone was just throwing some bars out uber distance. If he doesn't like it he can uber to one of the sterile tourist filled or alcoholic single mom bars listed above if that's more his style. Personally I have zero issues with any bar as long as the service is good, they have cold beers and few good bodies to look at.
  16. Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded
  17. That whole area is set up to serve the UTSA and tourist community in town for Sea world or Fiesta Texas. There must be 20-30 hotels in a 10 mile radius from 10 and 1604. Restaurant recos are spot on. I didn't see Palenque Grill mentioned. You could also Uber out west a tad to a few more establishments like La Gloria and Silo Oyster etc. Their is a pretty nice food truck spot also not far from where you are called The Block. Can also be hit or miss. Sunday brings out the mimosa crowd. Same on peelers places. Haven't been in a long time but Palace or Men's Club are considered the higher end. if you like skanky tatted latinas (which I do) then PTs or Sugars. All stars is the closest. If you go there and its not good then walk accross the street to Bone Headz. They usually have some smoking hot bar tenders. If you want happen to be here on a Sunday then hit up Hills and Dales. Also about a 5-10 min uber. It brings out the big titted young ones and the douches who love them but its a good view.
  18. Lucky to have a point
  19. Sucks that Penaldo plays his best game in United shirt vs us and Chelski just evaporate v Arsenal
  20. The less people in pre the better. But I also don't wait in the pre line either thanks to clear
  21. Fair enough. I don't think west of Msg was ever really viable nor have I ever seen much in the way of hotels in that area. I just didn't want people on the board to eliminate the 30s west because it's fine from my viewpoint. But in re-reading the warning of 7-9th agreed. I hooked 7-6 in there and east of 7th is fine
  22. Are there lots of excellent Korean restaurants in round Rock and you are a few feet from a train station to get you anywhere because they have that in the area of Harold Sq Are you two blocks away from Keens in round Rock? I actually think there is a Michelin star restaurant on 35th. Imagine avoiding that area like the plague just to take a taxi there for the restaurants.
  23. Literally stayed in Harold Sq in October. Zero issues. It's definitely not the best neighborhood for the average tourist but it's not to be avoided like the plague. Maybe everything has changed in the last 6 months but I doubt it
  24. There is nothing wrong with the Penn/Msg or Harold Square area. If you find a good deal on a hotel don't be a wuss about it. Sure there is a slightly seedy side to Penn and the Port Authority etc but to completely avoid it is dumb
