Scott Dodge

@zachchahalis @searchmartin @gmehrguth @NickLeRoy @nickeubanks @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace Wonderful - great spec and looks pretty mint! We are putting ours away for the winter this weekend :( rack up those miles!!

@scott_dodge @searchmartin @gmehrguth @NickLeRoy @nickeubanks @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace ‘98 500 SL1 Imperial red over tan. A tick over 80k miles but extremely well maintained and (most critically) roof was just sorted. Too good of a deal to pass up. Got the hard top off last night to enjoy for a few weeks.

How’s your day going? I’m at the DMV getting titles for 11 vehicles. Cleared the whole day free 🫠😱

@zachchahalis @searchmartin @gmehrguth @NickLeRoy @nickeubanks @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace Dude! Congrats! Welcome back to the club. Give us the details!

@searchmartin @scott_dodge @gmehrguth @NickLeRoy @nickeubanks @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace Welp, missed my r129 too much so got another one…

@zachchahalis @NickLeRoy @nickeubanks @searchmartin @gmehrguth @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace Hard to say no with that few miles. And ours is green over tan, lovely combo!

@NickLeRoy @scott_dodge @nickeubanks @searchmartin @gmehrguth @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace I wanted a grey on grey SL but the black on black fell into my lap. My NA tan over green Miata was much better for the heat.

@zachchahalis @nickeubanks @NickLeRoy @searchmartin @gmehrguth @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace Yep, my rule with convertibles is light interior, heated seats for that reason! Plus you can park it top down and still climb in. AC seats of course help too!

@nickeubanks @scott_dodge @NickLeRoy @searchmartin @gmehrguth @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace I loved my convertible experience but too hot for a black on black convertible in much of the good parts of ATL weather otherwise you’re inhaling pollen.

@NickLeRoy @nickeubanks @zachchahalis @searchmartin @gmehrguth @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace Ah, you mean you care about not having the rear end from a truck in your sports car?

@scott_dodge @nickeubanks @zachchahalis @searchmartin @gmehrguth @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace Should have specified s550+ platform. motor1.com/news/580391/s5…

@zachchahalis @NickLeRoy @nickeubanks @searchmartin @gmehrguth @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace Yes, especially when you’re fine with having the top down at 40* like we did last weekend! Heated seats, heat on, with windows & windows deflector up, totally doable!

@NickLeRoy @scott_dodge @nickeubanks @searchmartin @gmehrguth @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace I don’t blame you. Do you get a decent amount of top down time in MN?

@scott_dodge @nickeubanks @zachchahalis @searchmartin @gmehrguth @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace Can’t get a 350 or 500 in a convertible. I’m the 1% who likes them. But the jeep SRT is faster than the 5.0 anyways lol

@gmehrguth @NickLeRoy @zachchahalis @nickeubanks @searchmartin @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace Serious drool. Absolutely stunning and must be a hoot with some modern rubber!

@NickLeRoy @zachchahalis @nickeubanks @scott_dodge @searchmartin @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace Aight I’ll dance 1978 930 Turbo, new headers, turbo, clutch, exhaust, intercooler, suspension, etc

@zachchahalis @nickeubanks @NickLeRoy @searchmartin @gmehrguth @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace Please share with the class!!!

@nickeubanks @NickLeRoy @scott_dodge @searchmartin @gmehrguth @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace Oh 🤔 👀

@NickLeRoy @nickeubanks @zachchahalis @searchmartin @gmehrguth @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace Surprised you don’t have something with a Shelby badge yet, Nick!

@nickeubanks @zachchahalis @searchmartin @scott_dodge @gmehrguth @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace Add me to the red domestic car club.

@zachchahalis @nickeubanks @NickLeRoy @searchmartin @gmehrguth @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace Haha yep, had to do that about a month after purchase, now it’s better than new! Just factored it in to the purchase price.

@scott_dodge @nickeubanks @NickLeRoy @searchmartin @gmehrguth @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace Yeah that’s perfect! Especially if the roof hydraulics are done already haha

@zachchahalis @nickeubanks @NickLeRoy @searchmartin @gmehrguth @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace Wow, that’s absurdly low mileage. Totally get not wanting to drive it. Ours is in the sweet spot - bought it with 70k last year and already put 12k on it. Top down everywhere until the snow flies! Ours is a ‘96.

@scott_dodge @nickeubanks @NickLeRoy @searchmartin @gmehrguth @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace I might need to find another. Mine only had 14k miles on it so fell into that dilemma of not wanting to drive it.

@zachchahalis @nickeubanks @NickLeRoy @searchmartin @gmehrguth @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace I’m on my second r129. They are unbeatable for the price! E46 was my dream too and does not disappoint.

@scott_dodge @nickeubanks @NickLeRoy @searchmartin @gmehrguth @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace Ok now this I appreciate as the ex owner of a 2001 R129 and that e46 was my dream car. Chefs kiss.

@zachchahalis @NickLeRoy @nickeubanks @searchmartin @gmehrguth @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace Oh man I feel you on the brake dust - I am consistently caked thick! I run PFC 08s on my e46, and they perform outstanding but you really pay for it in terms of dust (and noise when cold)

@NickLeRoy @nickeubanks @searchmartin @scott_dodge @gmehrguth @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace See I’ve taken up car detailing as a hobby to account for that. The M2 puts out a ton of brake dust.

@nickeubanks @NickLeRoy @zachchahalis @searchmartin @gmehrguth @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace Haha, true story - going for the ‘04 rich-ish German vibe here on my summer cars

@NickLeRoy @zachchahalis @searchmartin @scott_dodge @gmehrguth @selenavidya @Marie_Haynes @DeanCruddace 😂

@wilreynolds the datapoints we have on our clients where we've made the transition,coupled with the logic explaining why it works.

What is your favorite example to show to a client why they should use subfolders instead of subdomains (for SEO purposes).

@tomcritchlow Additionally, those roles that CS usually fills make our SEOs better and more differentiated - organization/project management, comms, relationship building, growing accounts, etc - IMO better to teach great SEOs those skills to amplify their impact vs teaching CS SEO 101

@tomcritchlow For our SEO team, we have experts deal with clients directly, with CS providing tertiary support. While not always the most scalable or efficient, we have seen consistently that the relationship, context, and partnerships we unlock with domain experts delivers a ton of value.

Anyone have strong opinions (or, even better, data!) on whether digital agencies should have account managers vs having experts deal directly with clients?

@NickLeRoy I know you’re not a mac guy, but I just finally tossed by 7 year old Mac keyboard and mouse because i was too aggressive with cleaning them and got too much moisture inside… they were working perfectly prior to that!

I keep buying cheap wireless keyboard/mouse combos and the Bluetooth connection for the keyboard starts to fail 6 months later...every time. What do you all recommend?
