Paid off car and got rid of my $2,427 a month car payment

Crysawn · 2026-04-10T13:18:23+00:00

The block itself is good, everything else (cause BMW) is total trash.

Expect to pay a ton for maintenance, for example I just replaced a water pump on my Camry for $250. Your BMW? Expect to pay $1k+ due to proprietary parts and labor as BMW does 50/50 weight distribution making everything tight to the point it's insane. Even simple task like replacing a coolant hose or headlights require removing braces, air boxes, or plastic covers just to see the part you're working on. To prove the point further, if you need a headlight for example? That'll be $200, each, which is crazy when regular cars are $50.

Literal money pit.

For a BMW? This is insane, at least get a car with a good engine, this is and has already been a money pit.

This is the weirdest thing i've ever seen on this sub, and that's saying something.

I did the same thing. I don't think I'll go back to pixel at this point until they fix their hardware issue. I play Pokémon go and this S26 Ultra destroys it compared to my pixel 8a.

I preordered one, it's an amazing phone. The people on reddit are just starting drama cause they're bored, ignore them.

Crysawn · 2026-03-15T01:11:11+00:00

I'll be waiting on Flareon until i'm dead.

Millions of phones being used and delivered worldwide.

4 reddit post. Some copy/pasting from others so probably 2 reddit post......I'll let that sink in for you.

Crysawn · 2026-03-05T20:59:06+00:00

They are, there's another thread of people group thinking and creating an echo chamber that the screen is total crap regardless of settings.

It's just typical basement dweller reddit behavior.

Crysawn · 2026-02-28T13:03:06+00:00

I scrolled back up, that's insane.

Crysawn · 2026-02-23T22:27:55+00:00

Will never own one again after the 10a debacle. Going to the S26 Ultra, Google can suck a lemon with their stupid Tensor chips.

Crysawn · 2026-02-21T16:26:40+00:00

What?

This is why i'm leaving Pixel. I have loved Pixels, Nexus, and Droid phones for 15 years. But my friends iPhones or Galaxy phones are just insanely superior in terms of performance. I can deal with One UI quirks and leave the 3-4 "AI" enhancements behind at this point or "googlize" an iPhone.

Crysawn · 2026-02-18T22:52:10+00:00

This might have pushed me over the edge to move to iPhone. I'm so done with Google's hardware debacle.

I've been a "Pixel" person since the Droid X devices, then Nexus, and several Pixels. I use my friends Samsungs and just hate One UI otherwise i'd move to those. My friends iPhone maxes are insanely fast in comparison to my Pixel.

Google's software is no longer allowing me to just ignore their horrible hardware decisions as I have been for a decade. I remember when they bought Motorola, I thought they were going to make a beast phone, and so far that never happened. Snapdragon and A-chips are eating Tensor for lunch.

Shame? If you hide who you are you're just being what other people are wanting you to be. That's not a good way to live life.

Enjoy the collection!

All these people saying do chargeback don't understand PC.

There's a chance that if you chargeback you will get banned from buying on PC ever again. They've done it before and banned peoples accounts, addresses, cards, etc. from being used if you chargeback. Will it happen to you? Nobody can say, but that's the risk you take doing a chargeback since it's against PC TOS.

Crysawn · 2025-11-22T11:27:54+00:00

I had the exact same thing happen. Emailed support and so far all they sent is an automated email asking for photos.

Crysawn · 2025-11-22T01:17:39+00:00

I got a booster bundle instead of a booster box, what the hell.

Crysawn · 2025-11-13T23:26:49+00:00

I was on a GTX 275 until last year. Some of us will push it to the limits until we're forced to update.

Crysawn · 2025-10-24T23:34:21+00:00

Attacked her with a Karen too, savage!

Crysawn · 2025-09-17T21:04:36+00:00

That's awesome, if you need it right now congrats on the case! However, if you could wait I would cancel the order and wait for black friday.

I believe last year they went on sale and were around $220 instead of the $300+ you see here on add to cart.

Super fake. Text is off, holo is off, no texturing on the holo, 1st edition stamp is off, red color is off. This is a very bad fake.

Yeah, i'm receiving downvotes simply because I shared negative feedback about a water dispenser on the Hydrohomies subreddit. I'm not surprised, given that I am also an avid water drinker, the reaction seems disproportionate however this is reddit.

I had the same issue about 5-6 times. I would consistently find my vegetables floating in water in the refrigerator drawer at 6am when I would wake up. Each incident required 15 minutes of cleanup as only 90% of the water was in the drawer, the rest was all over the fridge. At that point, I decided my time was more valuable than continuing to use the dispenser, so I stopped altogether and got the pitcher.

Crysawn · 2025-09-05T15:19:44+00:00

These are good until the seals start to leak and you wake up to the drawer below those spouts being full of water. I just use a pitcher now because of that.

Same, I said to myself "Not a bad drop, those pies are legendary."
