I just moved to Apache Junction and 2 days into the move I'm having a minor electrical issue in my F22 230i.
It's too hot to try to troubleshoot it myself and I'm realizing even though it's a minor issue it would be good for me to meet a good BMW specialist who I can rely on for future repairs.
Does anyone have any good recommendations? Not interested in dealerships. Thanks in advance for any help!
I'm a couple of days away from a long drive from the east coast to my new house in Apache Junction (save the meth comments please)
I've driven from where I currently live to CA a few times and I know that majority of the route is pretty easy highway driving but my last stretch will be driving from a hotel in Albuquerque to AJ and I know that regardless of what road I take this will be the least flat stretch.
Google maps shows 2 routes with similar eta, one of them is to take I-40 most of the way then take 377-277-260-87.
The other one would have me get off I-40 in Gallup NM then take 117 to 60 which will pretty much drop me off at my house.
I feel like option B would probably be really scenic but I don't want to deal with difficult roads in my packed box truck, figured there's people in here who have done the drive from ABQ before and would appreciate any insights!
I'm about to move to Apache junction from western ma (near the CT border) and grew up just outside Boston. To me good pizza is thin crust Italian pizza, new haven style is a personal favorite but I've had excellent pizza all over the Boston, NYC and NJ areas.
The few times I've had pizza in AZ it was dogshit but I have to assume with how populated this area is there has to be a diamond in the rough somewhere.
When my sister lived in atlanta most of the pizza there was dogshit but she found a place that was great so I guess my goal is to bypass the trial and error process and see if there's any places that would be worth trying first. While I will be on the far east side of AJ I don't mind driving for good pizza.
I'm going to be relocating across the country, 2500 miles total split into 4 straight days of driving.
Most cost effective way to do it was to rent a big moving truck while shipping one of our 2 cars, I drive the rental truck and my wife drives her car.
We have 2 elderly cats and one large 4 year old dog, the rental truck company is cool with dogs so I'm gonna have him ride with me, and the plan is to have my wife take the 2 cats. The dog is gonna be easy and we've taken him to hotels/long drives with no problems in the past.
Anyway our cats (like all cats I'm pretty sure) fucking hate being in a crate/car. They've lived together for 12 years and tolerate each other but aren't super close, they've also never been in a car for more than maybe 20 minutes before.
I'm trying to wrap my head around cat strategy here, I see some 2 cat carriers on Amazon with little food bowls and litter boxes but I worry that in such a small shared space they might go at it while my wife is driving. Thinking that maybe it would be good to get 2 of the smaller ones and have one for each cat. Also a little worried about having all 3 of them in the hotel room together. I made sure all 3 hotels I booked are specifically dog and cat friendly, they do just fine together in our 1400 sq foot house but I worry about how they'll be in a smaller unfamiliar territory when all 3 of them are gonna probably be confused and scared.
If anyone has any tips I'd GREATLY appreciate it!

5 counter offers in 2 months... 96k in fees... Wtf
I'm an agency recruiter specializing in niche engineering/trades roles in manufacturing. Been doing it for 5 years, average about 600k in annual billing
In the last 2 months I have lost 5 deals due to counter offers. I'm talking offer signed, then a few days later I get hit with the difficult call.
Please keep in mind that I always talk about counter offers with my candidates, educate them on why it's not a good idea etc. I'm not a pushy person and I don't like to force a fit.
This is absolutely killing me, I'm talking about month long interview processes where I thought we crossed the finish line and then boom deal dead.
I'm posting this to vent but also to see if this is just becoming more and more normalized with the lack of candidate pool in this industry. It's absolutely brutal because I've reached a point now where I just assume it's gonna happen with every candidate who gets an offer at this point. If anyone has any advice I'd greatly appreciate it.
I am about to do a very big move from New England to Arizona and am trying to wrap my head around the logistics of the move itself.
From that start I've liked the idea of pods but it ended up being a lot more expensive than I expected. I was able to talk to someone to get a rate that would be palatable for one large unit.
The problem I'm realizing is that the scheduled delivery of the pod in our new home is 2 weeks after it is picked up and my wife and I can do the drive in 4 days so we're either going to have to stay in our current house way after our stuff leaves or live in our new house with no stuff.
Now I'm looking into renting a moving truck through u haul with a car trailer towing one of our cars, which is considerably cheaper and logistically easier because we can reserve it whenever we want and drop it off whenever we want without a restrictive schedule and it will get to the house at the same time we do.
The obvious con is that id much rather drive my car that I like a lot and feel comfortable driving than a 20 foot truck towing the car that I like so much behind it for 2500 miles 4 days. I have a decent amount of experience driving box trucks but not with a car trailer behind it. I know how to use mirrors but still I anticipate a 4 day drive having a few weird traffic patterns pop up, if it was a 2 hour drive I wouldn't even be questioning it.
Anyway I'm asking to see if anyone has done a long drive like this driving a moving truck with a car behind it and how that went, or for anyone who has done both what their perspectives are. Thanks in advance!
