borne2shop says "Would never buy a C300" about Mercedes-Benz C-Class - 2008

borne2shop — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:06:05 GMT

After driving a 2008 Mercedes Benz C300 for the last 4 weeks, I have decided that I would NEVER buy one.

I've been driving this car (its a rental) for the last 4 weeks while my car has been in the shop. At first glance it's a great looking car, but all this car has is its looks!

The steering is awful. If you drift at all (slightly into the next lane) and slightly grab the wheel to get back into your lane, BE CAREFUL...it'll take you into the lane on the other side of you. The steering is loose!!!

If you want a car with "guts" this is not the car for you. When you give it gas there is a huge delayed reaction. It has no pick up at all....none!

I drive an Audi A4 regularly. I will buy 1,000,000 more Audi's before I would even consider a Mercedes. I drove a C230 a few years ago that wasn't too bad, but would never own one. Audi has so much more pickup, and extremely tight steering. I think one of Mercedes' problems is that they make just too many different models. ...

borne2shop says "I've been using this for many years!" about Avon Glimmersticks Eyeliner

I have trouble with "wet eyeliners" and I despise having to contantly sharpen pencils. When I found this Glimmersticks eyeliner years ago, I never stopped using it.

I love that this eyeliner is self sharpening...and it works! The texture is awesome. Its so easy to use and last quite awhile. This eyeliner goes on very smooth, it is very hard to make a mistake! It's also easily removed if you do smudge it.

One of the best features is that its often on sale and it's a great deal! It comes in a variety of colors but I stick to black cause it's so versitile.

I've been using this eyeliner for at least 4-5 years. I buy at least 2 at a time, but like I said before it's often on sale. I'm very happy with the price and quality. Avon makes a variety of great products (and a few that are not as great). If they ever discontinued this eyeliner I don't know what I would do! Recommend to anyone looking for an easy to use, inexpensive eyeliner!

borne2shop says "Not sure it banishes anything or stops you from aging..." about Avon Banishing Cream

I didn't buy Avon's Banishing cream for it's "anti-aging" effects. I bought it because I have melasma and it stated that it helped with discoloration of the skin.

I've been using this cream for months and have not seen any improvement in skin color. I haven't noticed any help with wrinkles or lines either. I'm sort of disappointed because I do like Avon products, but I've been disappointed before. Not everything can be for everyone!

As much as I haven't had improvements in skin discoloration or wrinkles, this cream does feel great on my face. It goes on smooth. It is not greasy and it doesn't take forever to sink in or dry before putting on my make up. It's a light cream. I will continue using this product just because it feels good. I will again search for something else to use for my skin issues, but in the meatime I will stick with this for daily moisturizing. I'm very budget concious so this fits my budget nicely.

borne2shop says "You will always know where you are going!" about TomTom - One GPS Navigation System

borne2shop — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 06:28:07 GMT

I always thought I knew where I was going before I got there. I don't leave home without directions (don't ever use Yahoo maps, you'll get wrong directions 30% of the time). But now I get there even faster and easier. I'm so happy with this device. It give great directions. You have options of avoiding certain roads, freeways, etc. It gives you options of different routes for every trip you take! If you sort of know your way and decide to take a short cut it recalculates itself and keeps on going!

One of the most convenient features is that you can search for stores, attractions, gas stations, banks, etc etc. Seriously, if you aren't familiar with the area, this thing will help you find what you need. Updates are a little annoying and can get pricey, but you really don't need to do them often.

I recommend this unit to anyone and everyone. Noone should be without GPS anymore! Make sure you keep the charger handy though because the battery does not last too long....

borne2shop says "Great little heater for a great price." about Holmes Heater - Space Heater- 1 Touch HFH5505

borne2shop — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 04:55:58 GMT

This is a great little simple heater. It really does heat up the room! Low & high settings. I lost the manual so I don't know how the temperature buttons seem to work, but low & high are good enough for me! I use this heater in my bedroom (I don't have central heat/air) and I also use one in my office (wood floors and unfinished ceiling)...
