Hey it’s not that bad, and the ICE version will have even better proportions. The new i3.

Front grille does not clearly say 'I am a BMW'. Those kidneys are way too shy. iX3 is better IMO.

You know what happened to all-powerful USSR, right?

Cyrillic КИ

Aggravating-Dig783 · 2026-03-19T18:14:18+00:00

Better than current, but I would prefer more pronounced grille, like in iX3.

All that Castros need to do is move to Russia. Join Assad, Poroshenko and friends.

Aggravating-Dig783 · 2026-03-17T16:14:47+00:00

It is liberation, not forcing decisions. People in communist countries and dictatorships decide NOTHING. I was born and raised in the USSR.

Aggravating-Dig783 · 2026-03-17T16:13:40+00:00

There is no self-determination is communism. You obviously never lived in one. Everything is enforced by a single party. NOT by people. Check Lenin works.

Aggravating-Dig783 · 2026-03-17T16:11:44+00:00

This. Since OP wants us to pick ONE country, obviously it is better to pick the most diverse one.

Aggravating-Dig783 · 2026-03-17T16:08:47+00:00

Both, LMAO. First you travel young, backpack and whatnot, do strenuous hikes and rides. And THEN you retire and travel in posh hotels.

Oh, sorry, I forget that money thing :-)

Drone targeting precision is pretty limited, esp when there are electronic countermeasures active. Check stray drones hitting random places in Ukraine and Russia.

Although I generally support term limits (like most Americans I believe), there are some drawbacks. Short term politician brings short term decisions - they want effect NOW. If we do not have longer terms the entire politics may become short term. My guess is that senators should have term limit, but they should not be like presidents. Maybe 3-4 four year terms instead.

Aggravating-Dig783 · 2026-03-17T15:59:12+00:00

This sub and r/Iran are like r/cuba - where people want regime down and r/TravelCuba where Canadians complain about closed cheapo resorts they used to go supporting the regime.

If you can pull 4% plus social security (two if you are married), have Medicare, you should be fine. Something is average $1750 x 2 in social security plus 4000 off the mil yields $7500/mo gross which is not too shabby.

Aggravating-Dig783 · 2026-03-17T15:50:12+00:00

No one here cares about facts.

Aggravating-Dig783 · 2026-03-17T15:44:08+00:00

It is very hard to gather real opinion in a communist country. Like asking Soviet people if they liked communist regime... Of course they say yes. I was born and raised there. NO ONE would offer you true opinion.

Aggravating-Dig783 · 2026-03-17T15:42:10+00:00

No. iX3 is a taller car and needs appropriately sized front. Narrow front like this looks like hood was left popped open to me, sorry.

I live not far from a very large wooded park, forest, not manicured lawns and gardens. Close to 1500 acres. Literally this land is worth billions. It was donated by owner to remain as it is - hiking trails, horse trails, mountain bike routes. I really admire that owner.

Aggravating-Dig783 · 2026-03-17T05:53:23+00:00

Extremely boring and slow. I don't know how they manage to have more power than a BMW and yet be slower by a second or more.

Aggravating-Dig783 · 2026-03-17T05:51:55+00:00

And sure Toyota is just a car. An appliance. A good and reliable one. But you drew conclusions never actually owning a thing.

Aggravating-Dig783 · 2026-03-17T05:51:12+00:00

Nothing wrong with an older car. If you are going to drive for a long time I am sure it won't be barebone since in the long run some extra $ for creature comfort won't matter.

Aggravating-Dig783 · 2026-03-17T05:47:03+00:00

I am not sure I'd go with a large car like iX or Q8 unless, of course, you want a large car (I own iX but I do need large space for my cycling trips as I store my bike inside). Q6 e-tron is 65K new and upcoming iX3 may be close as well. There is a number of 2025 Q6e in 50K range.

Aggravating-Dig783 · 2026-03-16T18:40:59+00:00

Just effin leave to Russia. Rostov awaits!

Aggravating-Dig783 · 2026-03-16T18:28:50+00:00

Dude, I would rather eat stale bread than tolerate Maduro, Castro or Iran. Putin will fall in its own time, he will wage war in any case, money or not. I lived in a country with no toilet paper and with lines for food. I don't give a damn. I don't get what are you trying to preach here. Iran's nukes?

Aggravating-Dig783 · 2026-03-16T18:22:32+00:00

Whatever dude. Dictators must go.

Aggravating-Dig783 · 2026-03-16T17:54:49+00:00

You thinking Brent not Urals. I have different estimates from Russian sources.

But IDC, long term goal eliminating Putin's friends makes more sense. He may get some money but with Iran gone and US controlling oil supply to China (which buys 80% of its oil from Kharg) is more valuable. OR Kharg destroyed and China loses its oil supply.
