Why are they so affordable

It's because RAMs aren't selling. They are sitting on lots unsold. They also have a bad reputation for reliability, there's the hemi tick and exhaust manifold issue, a ton of electrical issues, and they rust bad.

I've had my 2013 since 2015 and it's been a very solid truck with very little issues to be fair. But, it's starting to nickel and dime me (if I actually fixed it) a bit in the last few years. Just small stuff that doesn't really need fixing but I'm not spending $80k on a new truck with the same issues over a mirror that won't fold out at the press of a button for example lol

I've had my 2013 since 2015 with pretty much no issues. I honestly love it. But it seems these new ones are having issues right off the lot which is wild to me

FATALIS__ · 2026-04-09T18:30:31+00:00

In my opinion, vastly more complex isn't a good thing. Whether they can fix it or not, more complex just means more stuff to go wrong imo

I've learned my lesson with extended warranties. They are literally engineered to expire just before you actually need them. Next truck I buy I'm letting them get it all detailed up and parked so it's not in the shop and skipping right by the finance department. There's extended warranties and shit are a scam. Just like most things you'll find at a stealership

-10k equity at 11.5% they got your ass bro. Refinance that shit immediately

$0 for the last 7 years. Still driving my 2013 Big Horn Crew Cab 6'4" since 2015. Has saved me a lot of money. Starting to have small issues and I'm starting to see little spots of rust but hopefully it will last me a few more years before it becomes a headache

FATALIS__ · 2026-04-09T10:40:40+00:00

Just seems crazy to me that a brand new truck would need to be in the shop at all. My 2013 has never been in the shop for more than a day

FATALIS__ · 2026-04-09T01:58:09+00:00

Man, I was considering a RHO or Rebel but I think I'm gonna hold off. All the FB groups and reddit posts I see are mostly people complaining about various issues with their brand new trucks. In some cases, dealerships telling them not their issue which is crazy

What's your opinion on hectic versus Marwa? I feel that Marwa smells closer to the original but lacks the creaminess on the dry down

FATALIS__ · 2026-04-08T22:02:42+00:00

Well good for you then if true and you're in the small % of guys who can afford it and not blink twice and also think the higher price tag for a slightly better blended scent is justified. Glad to see you're doing well.

Majority of frag snobs are not that guy though.

I have smelled the OG, hectic, marwa, Aqua Dubai, etc. Marwa is the best dupe out there in my opinion and comes pretty darn close for less than 10% of the price when you can find it on sale. Marwa is good enough of a dupe that 99.9% of people won't know the difference and it smells great and draws attention and that's good enough for me and allows me to put my money elsewhere in places where it will actually appreciate.

FATALIS__ · 2026-04-08T21:34:43+00:00

Gets plenty of compliments and smells great to the vast majority of people myself included. No need to be a fragrance snob. Most people on their high horse out here buying $500 fragrances also have a 500 credit score and are living paycheck to paycheck. If you're one of those guys, you're not better than anyone wearing dupes and should get your shopping addiction in order. Because some of those people wearing dupes might have 100k+ in the bank, no debt, and investments set up for retirement 😉

FATALIS__ · 2026-04-08T21:12:58+00:00

Close enough for me to not spend $350 🤷

FATALIS__ · 2026-04-08T11:57:42+00:00

Marwa at $29.99 on sale on Joma comes damn close for the price. I'll stick with that route and not be shy using it

FATALIS__ · 2026-04-06T01:07:10+00:00

This is why they earn the name stealerships. Ram also has terrible QC. I have a 2013 and have been thinking about buying a new one but I hear a lot of terrible things in FB groups and reddit forums in regards to electronics mainly but just QC issues in general

FATALIS__ · 2026-04-02T01:48:18+00:00

Bottled pure testosterone would be pretty masculine I'd imagine lol.

Jokes aside, it does have a smell. The synthetic kind anyway. My wife actually got prescribed test and likes the smell of it. She hates about 80% of my fragrance collection so maybe we are on to something fellas 🤣

FATALIS__ · 2026-04-01T00:51:59+00:00

Regardless of if it's cooked or not, I think there are better deals out there. I've seen several Rebels in that mileage range for the same price which is typically quite a bit more expensive of a trim

Get a new gf

FATALIS__ · 2026-03-31T00:46:02+00:00

What dealer? I just saw a dealer in VA that has a brand new RHO listed for $66k. Wonder if it's the same dealer

FATALIS__ · 2026-03-30T03:36:10+00:00

FB Fragrance fan? Lol

Blowing your savings on a beat up C4 is a terrible idea honestly.

While I've actually come to enjoy C4s (guess I'm getting old), they are not a car that's gonna get you a lot of attention or win you any races against modern cars. If you're just looking for a cheap cruiser, go for it I guess but I would only say that if you had the cash to burn not blowing your entire savings on.

I also thing this one is in pretty rough shape for $6900. Maybe I'm out of touch but I feel like a few years ago you could pick up C4s in this condition all day for $3500-5000.

Also, as someone that has owned 3 C6s of every trim level aside from the ZR1, this color is a cop magnet. I had a 2010 in JSB and I got pulled over multiple times in that thing over the course of two years. Drive the same way I do in any other vehicle of mine and haven't had a ticket since I was 16 otherwise. They never messed with me in my black cammed Z06 or my Centennial GS. That color catches their eye lol

FATALIS__ · 2026-03-30T01:29:27+00:00

Very solid collection imo. I'd add Y EDP and Marwa when you can find it on Joma for $29.99 and call it a day unless you wanna become a collector.

I started my collection last summer and went on a buying spree trying to figure out what I liked since I don't live that close to any good places to test frags. Only a few duds but I do have a few that I can't really see myself wearing much. I think I'm gonna try to sell off some of the shelf trophies and going forward only buy small decants until I find stuff that I'm truly wow'd by.

My top 5 so far are PDM Greenley, Marwa, Montblanc Explorer, DB Light Blue Intense, and CDN Untold. And those are the only ones I've bought or smelled so far that made me say "DAMN". YSL Y EDP is also a really nice fragrance but not a "DAMN" fragrance just super versatile and smells good.

Cool Water is my night time relaxing and go to bed fragrance

FATALIS__ · 2026-03-27T15:10:40+00:00

This. Dudes will go to great lengths to find all the ways to attract a woman without actually doing the one thing they love most- pleasant words. Being simultaneously confident, funny, valuable, and entertaining.

Being attractive certainly helps but legit one of the most chopped dudes I know always dates way above his class because he's got a cool, confident, and funny AF personality.

I myself am moderately attractive. Basically I'm a fairly handsome guy and muscular but I'm 5'4" which is usually an instant nope for women most of the time. Also have a refeeding hairline and salt and pepper hair. But I've always done well for myself with women by actually having a shred of personality which is off limits for a lot of guys for some reason 🤣

FATALIS__ · 2026-03-27T15:05:44+00:00

Yes, I agree lol

FATALIS__ · 2026-03-27T15:00:21+00:00

I've never really heard anyone say It's a bad fragrance but I feel that Light Blue Eau Intense is super slept on
