    3-Row SUV for Midlife Crisis

    Corrected it for you. Also, fun story, and it's ironic that this is how Lambo started, involving not only a tractor, but an entitled wife: https://www.granturismoevents.com/story-the-epic-story-behind-the-ferrari-and-lamborghini-rivalry/

    3-Row SUV for Midlife Crisis

    Dude...the ZR1 is a 1/2 million dollar car. No "ordinary well off person" is going to be disappointed, I assure you, lol!

    3-Row SUV for Midlife Crisis

    100%. I am over 50% done with this, and for my 37th bought a nearly 600hp SUV that still lives in my garage and makes me smile. 39, now, and on the down-hill slope.

    3-Row SUV for Midlife Crisis

    Because it was made like my P7B, to withstand a 75mph stationary collision. It's a Ford, it's always going to be overpriced, BUT, with a few mods on corn it's going to run 11's easy, which is kindof cool.

    3-Row SUV for Midlife Crisis

    What you want is pretty easy to achieve given that performance isn't really a factor. In the $50-70K price range, I would recommend Explorer ST and MDX-S. The MDX gets you closer to Nardo, and the Explorer ST gets you closer to your inner child. I personally think that since you're not able...

    Coyote Encounter

    People are not to be trusted. More people harm kids than coyotes do. Coyotes are absolutely wicked smart predators that I shoot on sight (I have livestock). This is the world, like it or not, that we live in.

    Kohler Command SP 27

    I may well do the same. I didn't run them on my other mower either.

    Kohler Command SP 27

    I have a new to me Toro, with a 27hp Kohler Command. Says 5 or 10w 30. What is ideal for this mower? Stick with Kohler brand oil in this weight, or is there a generally recognized better option like the old Ls1 engines and 0-30 German Castrol? I mowed about 5 acres today and didnt burn a drop of...

    Heatwave PHEV Lesson

    Yeah, and while you may have gotten a good one, they vary. When I was cross shopping them, I saw tons of "my Tesla leaks water every time it rains" type posts. The MYPs also had a lot of motor failures and so forth in 2022/23. Fit and finish was abysmal on the ones I looked at. Self summon? I...

    Heatwave PHEV Lesson

    I'm only interested in data and facts. I've owned everything from Ford to Acura to Kia to Toyota, and bought the best of each genre based on data at the time for my purposes. I continue to keep an eye on Tesla for my next vehicle, but they aren't there.

    Heatwave PHEV Lesson

    Tesla cuts corners. They would definitely sacrifice longevity for top of the line 400v charge speeds. They have only improved brakes and thermal management after track issues going public forced them to, and the rumor is that they skew battery longevity data by excluding Supercharged and hot...

    Most reliable used simple/basic vehicle

    Good luck finding anything clean for under 4K unless you find a 1-off kind of deal.

    That's nuts. Way too hot for good life imo.

    Heatwave PHEV Lesson

    What car wants 120f when charging? That's nuts. My GT keeps temps around 100f when in max performance mode. Heat kills batteries.

    Heatwave PHEV Lesson

    100f Ambient my ev6 GT just cools the battery. Range is maybe a few tenths of a mile per kwh less. Power is fine. Its really a non-event that I would never notice if I didnt pull up the power dist. data.

    I drove my first electric - 2025 BMW i4 M50

    Don't forget the non automotive rated screens they were forced to replace or the home depot wood trim used in the cooling system nonsense.

    I drove my first electric - 2025 BMW i4 M50

    BMW tests their vehicles, as do others, and they use parts with quality provenance, as do most others. Tesla on the other hand is constantly using repurposed parts and employing "quick fix" engineering and parts sourcing. They've improved a lot, since the early 2020s, but id like to see them...
