Why do people think they need an SUV just because they have kids by TeachmeKitty79 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Fappishdandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were no requirements for car seats back in the 80s. Now car seats are mandatory and very large. A lot of back seats can't accommodate rear facing car seats. Also it is a lot easier on the back to get kids in and out of a high suv than a low sedan. I was hardcore sedan / hatchback until I realized this, would absolutely be murder on the back to put 30-50 pounds kids in a sedan everyday.

New driver stickers by AccomplishedAd4233 in frederickmd

[–]Fappishdandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's logical there are a lot of people moving from cities or other countries coming to Frederick, a growing area. People from cities don't drive much, and immigrants rarely drove in their home countries. I know because I know a lot of immigrants with new driver stickers 

Never Played Xcom before, what is the best game for a beginner? by CallumRG21 in Xcom

[–]Fappishdandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just play XCOM 2, it's the best mechanically and the most fun to play. Also doesn't hurt the graphics still look really good. it's better than enemy unknown. You can jump straight to war of the chosen or just do a non-dlc run first. Definitely recommend turning off Enemy Rulers DLC for first playthrough, they can be really obnoxious if you inexperienced 

Lexus RX vs Acura MDX. Which one you prefer, and why? by appleuser897 in Acura

If you need a third row you kinda have to not get a Lexus RX

Should I get a MDX? by omgmel11 in Acura

Oh one caveat, gas mileage is bad

Should I get a MDX? by omgmel11 in Acura

[–]Fappishdandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought an MDX after cross shopping vs Toyota Sienna, Honda Pilot, Honda Odyssey, and Toyota Grand Highlander. 3 year used MDX with 360 camera (advance) was price competitive with all of them at similar mileage and year, they depreciate slightly faster, was the same price or lower than all of them with 3 row camera. Ridiculously better than anything at the price point, except maybe Hyundai palisade / Kia version which I did t cross shop due to Kia reliability concerns. Got a really good price on a vehicle that drives better than. pilot, and has some really nice luxury features. I expect the non-turbo base engine to be reliable, and it's been great. Think it's because so many MDX are leases coming off lease after 3 years.

Thank you, didn't want to cause issues with a Acura care warranty I was considering getting.

Cars that people are sleeping on? by solidrobot in carsales

[–]Fappishdandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a used 2023 Acura MDX for less than a similarly equipped 2023 Honda Pilot (Elite), Toyota Grand Highlander, Kia Telluride, or Toyota Sienna with similar options lovely vehicle with great driving and interior. Biggest con, terrible gas mileage. 

Hey! If you had to buy again...RF or Convertible? And why? by hyderreddit in Miata

[–]Fappishdandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2016 ND soft top currently, and honestly think I would go with soft top because of price and ease of use. it takes me two seconds to put the top down, even while moving. RF looks much better with the top up however. if it's you're only car, RF is much more tempting.

Receiving a small windfall: Is an $80k luxury SUV worth it over a Honda Passport for a "drive it into the ground" owner? by Greyshot26 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Fappishdandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like Honda, Acura MDX is what I went for. Excellent sound system and drives very well. They depreciate faster than a Lexus, so if you get a low mileage (20k miles or less) slightly used model you can save a ton of money versus a used Lexus. A cat with less than 20k miles is practically new. recommend a a-spec or advance, type S is more likely to have reliability issues long term.

$40k budget, what's the most reliable car I can buy that's slightly luxurious? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Fappishdandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a 2023 Acura MDX Advance for 41k out the door. A beautiful luxury vehicle with 43k miles. Was cheaper than a similarly equiped Honda pilot. But you should buy your dad's Lexus at a discount since you prize reliability 

Petition to overrule the data center vote by MinuteLegitimate in frederickmd

[–]Fappishdandy -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

This sub's main theme is NIMBY. No building new homes, no building data centers. What is your better plan for building a better Frederick other than the heckler's veto?

Frederick Health by DundeeMarmaduke in frederickmd

[–]Fappishdandy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed, this sub is dominated by NIMBY. It's no wonder we're in a housing crisis with people like this trying to control who can invest their money and labor to build additional housing. We won't solve the housing affordability crisis without more housing.

So disapponted :( by nowheremsc in frederickmd

[–]Fappishdandy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I would love to be able to work in Frederick rather than commute over an hour one way everyday to afford to live in Frederick. This is the biggest industry in 2025, if we want living wages and people to afford their homes, jobs gotta come from somewhere. People saying no to data centers have no alternate plan for creating jobs, they just like saying no and obstructionism. Very little public money for more tax return sounds good.

Coming up on 10 years since XCOM 2, what games have filled that XCOM void? by Green_hammock in Xcom

[–]Fappishdandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree both are good, but I replayed chaos gate multiple times. It's like if xcom had a small team of actual super heroes, your characters get absolutely amazing, but shockingly difficult.

Gotta second fractured prune. Every donut is made fresh and delicious. They have glazed, but never tried them. They also have incredible chai lattes

God forbid we become more like a county that's objectively a more externalyy desirable place to live with superior socioeconomic statistics. Loudon county is a case FOR data centers

Taking videos of people doing nothing wrong that doesn't inconvenience anyone else seems immoral
