With 2 kids under 6 Yo I don’t have much actual hobby time anymore. Between entertaining them and work my only real hobby is the gym. That being said I do try and bring them into my hobbies like hiking and car detailing but their attention spans are only so long. I do love to travel and I love...

2021 Tahoe RST Duramax 2021 Civic 2022 Grand Cherokee L 2024 Hyundai Palisade Usually bought slightly used since 2007 but you know how 2020 made buying lightly used not much different than brand new.

Hmm good to know, glad it’s rare as I may be there more often.

Slightly off topic, but this reminded me of the first go around I ever experienced just a few months ago in Mexico City. I think we were in a 737. The back wheels for sure touched and then we took back off. I was a bit confused/concerned as were others, probably because the pilot said nothing...

Well being born and raised in Gainesville makes me a life long gator, even though I’m no longer there. We haven’t won a national title since 2007, I’m excited and happy for them regardless of the Title outcome. What a season!

That’s steep, my Ryobi 40 volt mower is on year 4 working well. The original battery is only at about 50% so I bought another. Luckily, the ecosystem with the mower, edger, trimmer, and blower all use the same batteries so I can’t complain. The new battery was around $270, but divide that over a...

I’ve had a 24 palisade since last year, about 12k miles no problems. Great fit and finish, a lot of luxury for the dollar. Only average about 19 mpg, it’s awd so maybe that’s a factor. Overall it’s a great family and road trip vehicle.

Dodge Viper. Always been my dream car and now used ones are obtainable without dropping massive cash. A new one would be something ! I’d bet it woood be hard to keep the V10 with emissions.

I changed my own oil and washed my own car from 16 yo to 34 yo. Then I had one kid, then another. Then we moved from rural north Florida to south Florida's suburbs. Two kids, less space and time, I pay for oil changes from a local shop now (family owned). Car washes? Pshh with two kids under...

New iPhone 16 but the wife got one too so more if needed upgrade. Needed a smaller EDC knife for all my shorts and swimsuits (in Florida after all). Bought a SOG that’s very compact. Solid for a knife in the sub 70-80 dollar range. What I really want is a bench made full immunity 290 but...

Nearly 50k for a Camry ? 🤣 Kendall has lost it lol. I was looking at a wagoneer in Stuart when they first came out, 35k mark up. Now they have huge discounts. I’m 2 hours from Miami and I’ve never found a better deal there than say palm beach, Stuart, fort pierce. I guess if one is desperate...

It all seems appealing till you do the numbers. I’d just as well buy the truck and sell it at the end. Granted, I don’t think this is targeting people bad with money who can’t afford the full payment. You would have to have great credit and 7-8k laying around to put down. Some folks just like to...

I changed my own oil, spark plugs, etc until my mid 30s. Back then I had less money and no kids. Now I have more money, live in the burbs, and have 2 kids under 5 yo. Now I just pay for it, I value the time more and the garage is packed enough with kids stuff. I still change out the air filter...

I had one as a rental, hated it based on size. Im 6ft, 200lbs, felt very cramped. Underpowered and very basic. Granted I likely didn’t have the premium model. I’m also not a fan of the non touchscreen interface. Child car seats ? Couldn’t even fit with them behind me. This may not be a...

In regards to 4wd, lifelong Floridian here. We don’t have snow but we got plenty of rain and mud. Plus there’s several beaches to drive on, I’ve seen plenty of people stuck in 2wd vehicles at the beach. Now, I don’t need it often but there’s deff a use case. Plus why not have it just in case? I...
