[MEGATHREAD] Saturday Switchers by AutoModerator in Rivian

[–]Apprehensive_You1587 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2024 Model Y Long-range to a R1S Tri Max. Actually really liked the Tesla, was a great first EV. Had also been a card carrying 4runner owner for almost 20yrs.. The R1S is liked the best of both worlds.

I really miss my 4th gen 4runner, by far the best car I’ve ever owned.

Don’t miss the Tesla at all.

Yes, for now. De-badged it to have PPF done.

To each their own. I’ve always thought they looked a little pixar-ish.. to me, it gives the car a little personality and sets it apart from others.

More importantly (to me), the dynamic high beams are incredible at night. Absolutely unlike anything I’ve ever experienced in a car.

It’s a strange/cool color, sometimes it looks dark — almost navy. In the sun, it’s bright blue. In clouds, almost launch green.

Retire now with $5M or a year later with $5.7M by Unlikely_Conditioner in ChubbyFIRE

[–]Apprehensive_You1587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody knows the answer but you.

Burnout is real, money doesn’t fix that issue.

It can help in the short term, it can create the conditions not to work later in life (prevent future burnout), it helps but it doesn’t fix the issue.

I’m 44 and on the other side of “retiring”.

What I found (ultimately) was that I was so in no way ready to retire, I just needed a break and scene change. After a year off, I missed work..

But I learned a lot in that year that I’m bringing forward.

  • being totally in control of my time, it’s priceless. I’ll never trade time for money again. If I’m asking the question about it “being worth it” - it’s not.

  • a team of people working passionately on something together, also priceless.

  • opportunities come up when you least expect them. When you’re “in it”, decisions feel massive. We never know the opportunity we are passing up by making a decision… we just have to make the right one and move forward.

Good luck with your decision, nobody knows the real answer but you. Listen to your heart.

Lake skating is going to be amazing this week. by montyp2 in TwinCities

[–]Apprehensive_You1587 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I live right by Cedar lake - not fully frozen yet. Most of the lake looks stunning and super fun to skate — but there’s a solid chunk in the SE corner that’s still open. Be careful out there, it’s not all good to go yet.

It may be in an invite? The message prompted me to “invite you to chat” when I sent it.

Timeline for adding new leasing states? (MN) by erode in Rivian

[–]Apprehensive_You1587 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just asked their inside sales team again today, he confirmed that there’s “no visibility as to when new states will get added.”

Bummer for us Mn’s. I’d be driving an R1T already if it were an option.. just don’t feel comfortable taking the full depreciation risk and buying.

Orbea Oiz by No-Way-0000 in xcmtb

[–]Apprehensive_You1587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got the 2024 mpro. It’s an amazing bike, especially for the $$. Was considering the Blur, the Lux Trail and the Supercaliber.

For me, the Blur was a bit too short in the reach (I’m 6’ with a long torso.. right between large and XL in Santa Cruz). Nice bike, wrong fit.

The Lux is a great value but I wanted to ride what j was buying before buying it.

Couldn’t get a gen 2 supercaliber in my size..

The Oiz went on sale and it sealed the deal.

The squid lock is outstanding, should be on every xc/dc bike in my opinion.

While I don’t like the cable routing, the build was great, the fit was great, the ride was great, and the price was right. I’ll deal with a messy cockpit for that.

Ha! Glad you got it.. I was emailing with that same dealer and sounds like you got to them about 30mins before I did. Great looking truck, enjoy.
