    Airbnb, VRBO, Hotel/Motel. Which do u prefer?

    For work I stay in Hilton brands and for just myself it’s too easy plus points. I also have a Hilton CC that I use to earn more points. Between my work stay points and CC points I get quite a few free nights a year plus my honors status so it makes sense. Now this works great for just me, the...

    DIY tint your own car windows?

    I wouldn’t have the patience or finesse to do my own tint. Place nearby I have taken both my cars and families cars… almost always under 200 for ceramic. I think the Tahoe was 300 but that was doing every window, back hatch, etc. for that price and flawless tint I have no reason to try and save...

    Chevy Colorado, am I missing something?

    Yeah it just seems now the only real benefit to the smaller truck is you want a smaller truck. I could get by fine with the smaller truck here. My problem is, if getting a full size is about the same cost I’ll naturally go full size, more room for the kids. I’ve contemplated a gladiator though...

    Chevy Colorado, am I missing something?

    I love the new Colorado, my problem is a nicely equipped one is basically full size truck territory. You would think the smaller pickup would stand out as a bargain compared to the full size. I know trim and options have a lot to do with it too.

    Flow batteries

    Very interesting, seems plausible though with enough investment and time. Would disrupt current EV manufacturers and their supply chains they have invested in. I see pushback from all these companies heavily invested in Li ion

    Upright vacuum recommendation

    I’ve had a Dyson ball for 8 years. Handles the two labs shedding fur like a pro. No issues really, very reliable. We have two kids and seem to use the shark cordless upright a lot for all the LVP floors in the common areas. It’s fantastic but the battery won’t do a whole house as it drains fast...

    Your opinion of how this VW GLI looks

    I dig it, nice little ride. I’m not in love with all black wheels but I hate chrome wheels so anything else seems fine. My last truck had a black and gunmetal fuel wheel. Nice VW.

    Early Christmas present

    Sweet sleeper ! I’d love to get a fast sedan that can still shuttle the kids that’s not Euro.

    2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger PHEV

    Love everything about the truck except the price. I had a 2014 Ram 1500 lifted on 35s and never had a single problem in 100k miles. I don’t really care to lift now with the little ones and my suburban life but this truck ? Would work out perfect. The gas engine would maybe run twice a month. I...

    How is the Winter Forecast looking for your region?

    Oh here in south Florida mid 70s to low 80s with maybe a few nights in high 50s if we’re lucky. Today was a high of 88 with a low of 70. I guess I’ll keep seeing these dang iguanas running across the road not cold enough to freeze em 🤣

    Has enthusiasm for electric cars waned?

    My interest in EVs is still there, I think they’re pretty neat as a second car. I’ve owned several trucks, diesel Tahoe, multiple suvs. I like all vehicles. My spare runabout 2021 civic I leased only gets 8k miles a year since I have a company vehicle. Wife in kids roll in the SUV which is gas...

    Friends star Matthew Perry passes Age 54

    I liked him as an actor for his positive care free role. Friends was one of those shows you just watched to see something lighthearted and funny. What a shame.

    Christmas shopping at Sears 1982

    I have great memories from Sears. Always got clothes there as a kid and video games. After my grandpa retired from the air force (ww2,Korea) think he did 20 years or so at sears. If I remember correctly they even gave a pension back then. Being I was born im the 80s I don’t recall seeing sears...

    Did you have a REAL DAD, or a distant/absent biological donor?

    My dad’s been ok through the years. He and my mom divorced when I was 8 so he wasn’t a big part of my life. Like many, my mother was and still is a very difficult person to be around with a lot of anger. My dad avoided her like the plague after the divorce. My mom always talked bad about him and...

    Lucid Air Sapphire

    I love the lucid and think it’s gorgeous and regal (maybe that’s not the right word 🤣). Great performance even in base trim. There’s a Lucid store here in West Palm Beach and I’ve been drooling over them. Maybe in a few years I can justify the base model.
