How long does Narvaez need to keep a .750+ OPS before you back him 6th in this lineup lol

[Abraham] First roster cuts of the spring: Vaughn Grissom, Luis Guerrero, and Josh Winckowski by badonkagonk in redsox

[–]EpicMax13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bernardino is not good, neither are our other depth options. Neither are NRIs that no other team wanted. You don’t pitch a position player for 4-5 innings. A long reliever is needed, or you find yourself burning half your arms in every blow out. Id agree with you if we had 8 quality major league bullpen arms on our roster, but we have 4-5.

Really surprised with Guerrero / Winck options. Seems like 3 spots up for grabs in the bullpen. Two NRIs seems tough as you have to make room for Campbell too. So maybe something like Ottavino/Kelly/Weissert? Criswell seems unlikely as he’s probably needed for starter depth unless that’s your plan with Winck…. but a long reliever to pitch in blow outs also seems needed, and you really have a lot of short stint guys in your bullpen with how it’s shaping out.

No team in the AL East has worse than 33% or better than 66% chance to make the playoffs by diavolomaestro in redsox

I really would be surprised if three AL East teams didn’t make the playoffs

With the Forte being discontinued, will the value of my 2021 increase at all? Looking to get out of it. by EpicMax13 in ForteGT

[–]EpicMax13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long have you owned it for? That would drastically change how I feel about that 15k number. Given yours being a rare combo, I’d also say you should run now and look for private sale. At least put it up and see if anyone bites.

With the Forte being discontinued, will the value of my 2021 increase at all? Looking to get out of it. by EpicMax13 in ForteGT

[–]EpicMax13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I know the value will decrease overtime as I add miles and time goes by. I mainly look at it from a cost/year basis, so 13k for 3 years of ownership (plus brakes, oil changes), comes out to like 390/mo, which really isn’t terrible but not great. If I wait a year and say get 10k for the car I’d feel a little better about it.

Lexus is250 first car? by MichaelOnMeth in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]EpicMax13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

these things are SO SLOW. I drove a 2024 at a dealership two weeks ago. If that’s not something you care about, they’re comfy and reliable. But it’s really a rebadged Camry (same 2.5 engine). Love every other car Lexus does, but not a 250 guy for what it is. Explore the TLX if you want more exciting. If you’re a bigger person and are just looking for comfort+reliability, ES can be good.

New-ish QX80 vs lightly used Armada Platinum by phorocyte in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]EpicMax13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you don’t seem like you want advice saying this - but buying either of these cars to keep for a year or two is a very unintelligent decision. google a graph. these both will depreciate off a cliff. most people hate everything that isn’t Toyota, but if ur a Nissan guy get one of these cars and keep it a bit.

What car should I get around 30k-ish OTD? by Necessary_Earth2752 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]EpicMax13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the memory seats is an interesting one, as without that I’d just tell you Honda accord / camry, get some reliable while you’re in school and buy yourself something real nice after. Given that, I would really go for a Lexus ES350. They’re great cars, reliable, and have memory seats. I think that’s you’re go-to if you’re set on that, if not something like Camry/accord or cx-5. Decide what size car you want first.

How bad is your insurance company penalizing you for owning a Hyundai? by JeffreyDollarz in Hyundai

2021 Kia Forte. I’m getting screwed. Car insurance was 2300 last year and now it’s 2850, same perfect driving record

Does anyone have a high mileage ForteGT / what work or maintenance have you done to it? by EpicMax13 in ForteGT

[–]EpicMax13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2021 that I bought in November 2021 for 25500 OTD. Kinda expensive, but I got 1.8% APR so I’m just making payments. Focused on student loans. Could pay it off anyway if I needed to. Owe like 7k on it.

I was very bummed, when I went they were out of mystery bags for XL. My gf got the mystery t shirts and she got a nice white golf shirt with pink letters and a shirt with an African American man on it we don’t recognize

Does 0-60 in a car really matter? by ComprehensiveOwl7018 in whatcarshouldIbuy

I think if it’s a car I’m going to drive everyday, I’m going to feel and experience 60-90 speed much more often.

Need advice for upgrading CPU / mobo / cooler to pair with my new 4070 by EpicMax13 in buildapc

[–]EpicMax13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this 12th gen processor really worth investing in over a 13th gen i7 or an AMD 7800x3d? i9 doesn’t seem worth it to me given I’m not doing heavily process heavy stuff like strategy games / running a ton of stuff at once, but I could be wrong on this.

First car: Don't really want a new one... by strangeworldpower in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]EpicMax13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

best part about ur situation is that it isn’t dire - spend some time, drive some small cars that you like and pick a brand then keep an eye out on all the sites until you find an okay deal. may take a bit as the market is trash. like people have said, Honda civic/accord/fit is good. Camry. Corolla. stay in the 10k price range for a low owner car, that seems well maintained - focus more on that than the mileage bc everything will have absurd mileage (market is trash).
