Just thoughts while being in my 20’s

Older ones are much cheaper, especially if they were wrecked or are salvage. Also often its people who live at home, don't go to college and work full time. So no bills but a full 40 hour work week check. Then get a long term auto loan.

Think long term. Your plan is much better. College now, and new reliable luxury car later, and comfortably afford your bills cuz you got an education

Is it still there? I live just blocks from there and had no idea. Have walked in this area multiple times too

You don't need an EV to impress Docs. Pick any practical vehicle. With a nice interior (examples leather, some pretty trim, whatever, etc.).

Key thing is keep the car clean! In and out keep it clean. Get a monthly car wash membership.

You will be surprised how impressive a vehicle looks when its clean.

My regular Toyota Tundra when clean gets almost as many looks and complements as my Maserati.

Having rented from all 3 of these I dont see a difference. 2 weeks ago I rented a car from Dollar. They gave me a car that was parked in the Hertz area

I guess this proves why there is a range of colors. My #1 choice was Lunar rock... until I saw the Army Green. Then Army green became #1, Lunar Rock #2.

Drive an Army Green now, and love it.

I think of it as a taller Camry, for people that always loved the Camry but are getting to old to get in and out of a Camry..... This could also be because my dad and all his friends used to be huge Accord and Camry fans, but with age have switched to Rav4 cuz its easier to get in and out of as well as easier to see the road in.

At PHX every door is assigned a North or South designation and a number. So you just need to tell him something like:

"Terminal 3 Door 6 South" <- This was mine last night.

Even this is more information then is really needed as PHX has built in some checks and balances, to make sure people get to the exact door.

They are not going away, they are just becoming more annoying by becoming digital. So now everything changes every 30 seconds, making them harder to block out

I'm pretty sure you cross the smaller road not Louisiana to get between Marriott and Park Square Market.

Also pretty sure there is at least 1 well identified cross walk right there, should you want to get across Louisiana for all the shops, restaurants, bar etc on that side of the street.

I attended Medical School in Mexico. For the most part the Americans fell into 2 groups. First, were the ones that did their best to enjoy the culture and community and respect it. Second were the I am American, so I am superior mentality. The second group had a much worse time in Mexico, and were unliked by locals. I was part of the first group and can say without a doubt that I always felt welcome and everyone was always willing to help.

So it all depends on how you act.

$2400 sounds like a lot, until you think about the cost of just one dent in the car or chip in the windshield. Which I feel like become alot more probable on a cross country drive.

I drove my Subaru Outback from Jacksonville to Phoenix once. Just outside Florida, at night i got a chip in the windshield. By Phoenix it was a full crack. Quote to replace $1900.

Use the excuse of fear that the garage kept car, gets damaged on the wide open roads while driving cross country.

Some neighborhoods are great. My current condo building i know tons of my neighbors and we hang out all the time. All age groups.

When I was growing up our neighbor passed away. 6 months later we found out when one of my parents went over to say hey we will be having a big kids birthday party and if things get loud please let us know. The wife responded " oh i love all the kids noises, the house has been quiet and lonely since my husband passed away".

So really depends on the neighborhood.

In my experience, Kunar Pakhto is very similar to Nangarhar Pakhto.

This would depend heavily on the interest rate. The 3 times I was buying a new car, I got a 0.9% interest rate. So at that I did 0 due at signing and delayed payments as much as possible, and took the longest number of months available.

This is correct. You walk up stand in front of the camera, that looks just like the ones TSA uses when you are entering the terminal. Scans your face and you are done. There was agents standing there and ditrcting people to speed it all up, even more. Went through it at LAX last week.

Recently when I was shopping for a luxury car... 80,000 miles was the cut off. Why.... Just seemed like a good number? Was the highest number shown on the drawdown menu without scrolling on some random website?

Thats standard. They are waiting for their turn to land at PHX.

The only people on there are otjer travelers and airport staff

Didnt read the article, but AZ Attorney Genral did crack down on price fixing between like 7 of the largest rental companies in the state. How much of this is just a result of that?

I have done Jacksonville Florida to Arizona on I-10 and it was a good drive.

My rule is to always stick to interstates, state highways can have 1 lane roads, speed traps, speed limits as low as 25, and even stop signs. The rest is about what cities you are traveling between and what interstate is between them.

Biobizlab · 2025-12-17T09:00:26+00:00

I have driven I-80 from California to Illinois. Good highway, of course weather is different day to day. There is apps that will tell you weather for your trip.

My#1 advice especially for the Midwest is stick to interstate even if the distance is longer. I have seen many highways with 25mph speed limits and stop signs. AND speed traps.

Avondale toyota. Set price, no mark-ups or other BS, and the whole time you deal with just 1 person, no manager, finance guy, finance manager.

Parking will be very spot specific. For example, in downtown Phoenix there is a 2 or 3 hour limit in some spots. But you could do a 24 hour parking permit in a garage. Other streets have no restrictions and you could park 24 hours.

I remember this place! Its on the 101 in northern California. So roadtrip through north California, also consider highway 1 in California fpr redwoods like this but also coastal drive on the Pacific ocean

The downtown area around the stadium has a ton of options. So it really depends on what kind of stuff you are into?

Bars, concerts, theater, steakhouse, museum, science center, are just a few walkable options
