General Economic chit chat/updates.
So you're acknowledging that you live in one of the best places (which I'd agree with). You pay for that privilege. Nothing really new here, life is all about compromise. We have a tiny house on the worst street in our neighborhood, because we wanted to live in this area. FL people are also kind of...

:lolol: but cruicialy not 4x or 10x as you stated 2 posts above. I'm not saying its good, but its not as extreme as you imply. It depends on area too… some areas went through extreme price appreciation while others are down. Ex Ohio is likely in line with historicals or down . This is what I imagin...

:iono: I like the 86 more. I would love to try them back to back, but I’ve driven a manual ND, rented an auto ND and manual Fiata and put a couple hundred miles on each. Maybe I just don’t fit well enough in a Miata to be in love, but they’re just so rolly from the factory. Saying one is a gt3 rs a...

It’s been exceedingly stressful The deck is 2 years old and was a selling point of the house. It looked great when we moved in. Now boards are actually rotting and many have warped. It looks like total shit. Every “upgrade” the prior owners did caused major damage to the home. This is the case with...

I will say, the ND does kind of stomp the BRZ86 in that way. Everyone acts like they're basically the same, but the gap between the miata and BRZ is about the same as the gap between the BRZ and the rest of it's competitors. I'm praying the NE stays the same weight as the ND, has 1-2" more inch...

Fully loaded Prius Crime is the same price as the starting price for a Model 3, $39K $299 a month lease bruh. Buying is for suckers at the moment. With 7% interest rates and savings accounts paying $5.5% It's actually $307/month + $5700 down. And that's for 10k/miles a year. Hyundai Ioniq5 & 6 ...

Agreed. A Coxster or Corvette is the used play here unless you're a 'collector'. Also, after driving a Guilia for a week, I was really just loving the 86 last night. I know feeling everything in a car isn't for most in this :truk: world we live in, but man, I love it. Guilia is a very enjoyable car...

Just got a quote to replace all the original stuff at the house. $20k. It's a dual system: 3 ton main system, with a natural gas furnace, plus a 2-ton heat pump with the air handler wedged in the ceiling in an attic space on the second floor. My father-in-law works in commercial HVAC. Think I'm goin...

Their bean counters don't care what you think. All they see is $$$$$$$ They should... I am a loyal toyota customer The overlapping models piss you off to the point you wouldn't buy one?

Got a nail in a tire this weekend. Luckily it was an easy plug. Been getting software updates at a rate of about 1/week now. They're slowly getting everyone caught up. There have been some leaks about new stuff coming to 7.0 that will hopefully happen in the next month or two. Looks like their firs...

Quotes are broken for me. In response to D Griff: I'm 6'2", and have had an NC miata, 2 BRZs, and an S2000. I know the feeling. SAWCE is like The Hulk though. I do love that gen Mini though. I had 2 friends in high school with them. I was always blown away how well packaged they are. I could si...

The teal Trailhunter is great. That would be my pick. I am so confused by their lineup though. So much overlap between 4Runner, Land Cruiser, and GX. Land Cruiser and 4Runner especially. Same exact size, same power train, all the same tech... I'm guessing the Land Cruiser will be slightly more expen...

I'm confused by this whole thing. I give Mrs. H full decision making over a lot of things we do: all decorating for the house, what renovation projects get priority etc. When it comes to cars, she knows that's my world and gives zero shits about what I drive. Hell, she even let's me have a large inp...

So I’m making a list of sports cars that would be within each price bracket that are decent … 1. GR86 (30-40k) 2. Miata (30-40k) 3. Type R Shitvic (40-50k) 4. GT premium (50k) 5. M2 (60-70k) 6.
