    Post up some Hobbies you like to do in your free time.

    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.

    UAL B767 go around?

    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...

    March Madness has begun…..

    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!

    Honda battery powered mowers.

    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...

    Hyundai Palisade common problems?

    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.

    What car or cars would you like to see made again

    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 committed three BiTOG automotive no-no's

    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...

    What's the last thing you decided to buy for yourself?

    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...

    Went looking at new Corolla's with/for a buddy. Nope, not happening.

    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...

    Weekly Lease Payments

    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...

    Percentage of people that do their own vehicle maintenance at home.

    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...

    what are your thoughts on a 2024 new Mitsubishi outlander sport trail edition?

    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...

    New truck day! 2024 F150 4x4 V8 Lariat

    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...

    Hydrogen Neue Klasse EV?

    Could be a great idea if they found a cost effective way to produce hydrogen. The constant argument is how much energy it takes to make it. I don’t know the answer but the idea of it is pretty cool.

    Move over Florida! Iowa is ranked the best place to retire - while Alaska, New York and California come out worst

    Haha no I didn’t come to south Florida to retire, I’m 38, work took me here. It’s just funny how different Florida is depending on where you go.

    Went against the HOA

    HOA is a double edged sword. On one hand, there are some ridiculous rules that really don’t matter to mist people, on the other, it keeps the neighborhood nice. If I’m in a neighborhood where I can easily see my neighbors on both sides I want an HOA. My Neighboor is renting his house out. It’s...

    Move over Florida! Iowa is ranked the best place to retire - while Alaska, New York and California come out worst

    Lots of great places to retire depending on what you like. Some people like seasons, some people love city living and will stay retired in a big city like NYC or Boston. I’ve lived in Florida my whole life, most of it in north Florida which really feels like part of Georgia but without state...

    Which would you pick from new Elantra SE, Jetta SE, or Malibu LS

    I think the Elantra looks the best but I’d go Jetta.
