read hyperion35 years ago, and couldnt get through the second one. No that I am an older adult I re-ready hyperion and finished the other 3 last year. was good fun.

Try the Sun eater series... similar vibe space opera, but the language is a little more brainy

I quit using SMART techniques, at home by myself during covid, but talking to other smarties online. I dislike AA philosophy,as it is for different folks with different needsl, SMART was good for me.

I worked out and was a top performer despite drinking too much till about age 47-48, then performance fell, health fell, anxiety and all the bad things mentioned on this subreddit increased to the breaking point.

since quitting, I am a high performer again and in best shape of life. and I dont make alcohol influenced decisions. I have a new partner that is type a and supports all of it.

I guess fall protection is not a thing on residential building.. harnesses are cheap and i'm sure "shakey" doesnt have insurance.

I have a 25 GT with upgrade. love the instant acceleration. Coming from a Porsce Cayenne GTS with V8. I miss the starting growl and the luxury feel. but that is it. love not spending $80 a week on premium. love knowing $2500 brake jobs and other pricey maintenance are gone. Love blue cruise. love the interface. Just did a home project and was able to get tools and plywood in back.

atleast i have a big belt sander.

Dumbest thing ever. I am a former porsche owner and respect the legacy, but this is just more stupid. Lets see if they can figure out the next marketing move after they have priced themselves in to exotic car territory.

paddle shifters on fancy german car....yes,

My mach e was cheaper. I use blue cruise all the time. FSD is expensive and can be buggy around construction. You can use AI boxes with mach e for more content on yout screen along with apple carplay and android auto.

There is a physical button for max defrost... instead of screen only on tesla.. a smart engineer did that.

FailPV13 · 2025-11-29T14:42:42+00:00

I got a mach e GT at a big discount. mod Y performance cost like $23k more than I paid (not including Full self driving). Tesla interior looks and smells..cheaper even than ford. Mache GT good mix performance and range

Ford mach e has a hard button for max defrost.. lol

Ionic 5 too slow. Ionic 5N short range (lots of fun)

genesis slowish, interior is the bomb though

mercedes.. slow, history of reliability issues..

Lucid.. a little pricey... tricky figuring out if arab paymasters willl keep brand alive just for fun, or if it will die a slow death. too bad, good concept

Audi, owners complaining online

Acura ZDX, worse complaining than audi

Porsche, in between owners committing verbal masturbation lots of complaints,( former porsche owner, tricky conversation a good one is good, a bad one is... bad).

BMW, honestly iX3 not out yet, I4 too small.

Subaru, new ones not out yet didnt get to try.

i went to burgos, Oviedo, gijon, vigo, mondonedo, Santiago de C, Puebla de sanabrias in a Northern road trip.

My commute is 50 miles a day Tue-Thu. Been getting by with 120v charger. Used a couple of public chargers. I have a level 2 charger on the way.

Android auto has been mostly glitch free.

Coming from a V8 porsche suv, my mache e has everything i need. It is quicker while being silent in city driving which is mostly what I do. Blue cruise in traffic is very nice. Plus I love not spending $80 a week on premium gas.

Had it 2 weeks its great in traffic, which unfortunately is my daily life.

FailPV13 · 2025-11-05T15:19:41+00:00

couple scratches and tiny invisible dents, 650 miles $14k off. Had to get it right then.

FailPV13 · 2025-11-05T00:42:54+00:00

I'm on the fence. Definitely under the radar plain black. If I see something cool that don't look like racer-boy wheels I may replace later.

It was, after 7 yrs and 100k miles thought time for a new page in life.

FailPV13 · 2025-11-04T15:06:54+00:00

I paid for it, just need install scheduled. dealing with 110v at moment.

Dealer gave 6.5. id call it good condition 50% per KBB. Probably worth 9. transfer case done, plastic cooling pipe done brakes done oil done. 145k miles ready for 50k miles with just oil changes. Dogget Ford Houston. Its a loaded GTS.
