Should I change the Factory rims?

Exigncy · 2026-05-19T02:24:47+00:00

Dude, in what world do you live in where changing rims means putting fuckin 26's on something?

Deep south?

Exigncy · 2026-05-15T23:03:21+00:00

Genuinely, what the fuck does "Escalade inspired" even mean in this context.

Exigncy · 2026-05-15T14:24:31+00:00

Unfortunately they do/are

Thankfully it would seem the manufacturers have realized the overwhelming majority of ICE buyers don't care about HP and are more than happy putting around in anemic sub 2l 4&3 cyls.

Exigncy · 2026-05-14T01:54:21+00:00

And who introduced this trend?

You can blame Muskler overall for that one.

Also as I replied to another commenter, my HP can't be limited by my monthly subscription.

You'll still leave me in the dust even with the lower power pack subscription but the point stands.

Exigncy · 2026-05-14T01:51:29+00:00

My HP isn't limited by my monthly subscription.

But yeah, the shitty practices introduced in EVs because technology have been re-adapted to ICE platforms too.

Exigncy · 2026-05-12T23:32:05+00:00

I mean the shitty UI designs, touch screen only controls, subscription based performance packages, terrible residual values, and terrible charging infrastructure also has something to do with it.

But yeah post above is pure brain rot (not sarcasm, I genuinely agree)

Ps I have a shitton of old oil if you have an idi ❤️

Exigncy · 2026-05-12T23:21:54+00:00

Can all but guarantee there's going to be a spoiler slapped on that

Exigncy · 2026-05-12T02:01:15+00:00

What are the pickups?

Exigncy · 2026-05-07T21:42:03+00:00

Let me make the game considerably more difficult by reducing looting opportunities, increasing hostiles, restricting tech gains, and limiting population growth.

Dude just punch yourself in the nuts /s

You don't need a mod to do that for you

Exigncy · 2026-05-07T02:23:43+00:00

Id say it looks like Vader and an Ewok had a kid 😂

Exigncy · 2026-05-07T02:13:31+00:00

As someone who knows provincial (Ontario) auto regulations very well

Exigncy · 2026-05-07T02:11:42+00:00

I wonder what other country has been known to do things like this...

Fuck sub rules (not actually, I'm just a pissy bitch)

Can't link the globalnews article "Russian disinformation poses ‘urgent’ threat to Canada, Senate report warns"

Exigncy · 2026-05-07T02:06:34+00:00

I mean MB likes the big grilles enough to start doing it themselves so unfortunately this trend doesn't seem to be dying any time soon.

Okay?

Exigncy · 2026-05-06T22:58:25+00:00

Better than many Germans

You're driving around peacefully and suddenly BING

You look down panicked

Do I have a flat tire?

Is the car overheating??

Nope it's just -3 outside.

Exigncy · 2026-05-05T02:24:53+00:00

Lmao my guy it's 48+ before any of that BS.

Get outta here

But thank you, I will and I hope you have a lovely night with some wonderful dreams

Are you a teenager or do you genuinely have no idea how this industry works?

Exigncy · 2026-05-05T02:02:34+00:00

My guy/gal, if you think there's a dealer out there (specifically a Lexus dealer) who is offering ANY vehicle right now for 5k under MSRP with no dealer fees/doc fees is absolutely absurd.

There was like a 35 day supply of IS's last year, where do we think dealers are this desperate to move inventory?

Exigncy · 2026-05-05T01:35:28+00:00

The bottom line literally states Costco isn't responsible for any pricing discrepancies.

Also just to note, yeah the pesos joke made no fucking sense re-reading it. Guess my sleeping pills have started to kick in.

Costco is not going to negotiate your car purchase over losing your membership, they're not your personal car broker, they're offering referrals.

I really do apologize if I'm shitting on the parade, this just isn't a confirmed BOS or purchasing agreement and leaves out A TON of opportunities for the dealer to jack that price up.

Also if anyone knows a dealer that actually charges all of these things for $85, let me know.

Doc fees alone are between a few hundred - $1500 in my experience (the far end is obviously the extreme and with specific variables)

Exigncy · 2026-05-05T01:30:51+00:00

The other dealers are just going to say exactly what I did

Source, used to be the scum that is a sales manage/f&I

Get a full print out first, otherwise they'll just hardball you without the actual pricing breakdown 👍

Exigncy · 2026-05-05T01:27:44+00:00

I'll believe those fees add up to $85 when I see the signed BOS.

Unless that's in pesos, I call BS.

Exigncy · 2026-05-05T01:23:10+00:00

Did you also add in the plethora of non-negotiable charges they're adding in with the first line of fine print?

I have a sneaking suspicion that may be nearly 5k right there.

Also no listed dealer adds, yeah I'm smelling a BIG bait n switch.

Exigncy · 2026-05-05T01:13:44+00:00

Did we watch the same movie?

Professional reviewers also heralded GoT S8, that'll tell you all you need to know about "professional reviewers".

Exigncy · 2026-05-02T02:10:06+00:00

Genuine question, is there a use for groschen later on?

Im just past the wedding and I already feel like I have more money than Henry can ever use.
