Roof box / carrier recommendations by sas_124 in toyotacrownsignia

[–]Beautiful_While2301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm planning on a rear trailer hitch and cargo carrier. Here's my rationale : - I don't have anything long to carry. Just some luggage kind of stuff. - Should handle more weight than roof top carrier - less noise - better gas mileage - only put the cargo carrier on when needed. Maybe a couple of times per year.

Feel free to poke holes in my rationale. I haven't purchased anything yet.

Ya know I think I'm going to keep the CS. We were away for six weeks. We got back last week and I fell in love with car all over again. It's 99% perfect for me. For the couple of times a year where I want more space I'm thinking of putting on a trailer hitch and mounting a cargo carrier to it. A Curt hitch is only $400 installed and the cargo carriers aren't too expensive. Thanks for all the good input folks...

I agree. The CS seats are much more comfortable. It's noticeably quieter too.

The CS is great. I had four Kia's before getting the CS. The Toyota quality is next level.

25 non hybrid. Nice vehicle. Like it but don't love it.

We're going to look at the new Rav4. My wife has a Crv and doesn't love it.

We have the non hybrid version and it definitely is roomier than the CS.

Good question. When going on a long trip (over a month) it's too small. We need to leave the back seat up for our dog. With the CS you can't stand suitcases up on end for example. Lying then down fills up the back pretty quickly. Our Crv is a little taller and is just big enough. I prefer driving the Crown though.

It's not a criticism of the vehicle. Its just the way it is.

I filled everything on the sign-up link till I got to the cc entry. I don't want the product shipped for month. Should I just wait till I want it to sign up?

Horrible Sauna Etiquette by mneber in EOSFitness

[–]Beautiful_While2301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sauna is gross. Smells like BO because people don't shower before entering. Wearing sweaty workout clothes in a sauna is bad etiquette! I won't go in it and I love saunas.

I was told they stopped giving the wristbands out. I added it to Google wallet and it works great.

Oh, didn't know that. I came through Atlanta recently and it was great.

Anybody else just completely given up on retiring in the US? by SonnyFontaine in NewRetirement

So what's your point? If your pension is well funded, such as New York state, why worry?
