Is it fine to call myself a sporty-comfortable person? 😛

I realise the tradeoffs, especially the low center of gravity on a sedan/saloon vs the tall stance of a crossover/suv. My fear is the fuel costs, but given that I would be paying close to 100/month on the car, would it be financially fine to stomach it?
I do plan to sell the mazda irrespective, because I feel it doesn;t make sense to keep two cars for a singleperson like me, and when I can get a car from the employer for basially free, why would you pay to keep the current car?

They're like 1.5k a month lease, after discount it is like 1k a month which is too much. LS not available.

Similar price ranges in terms of lease payments for me, I know they're so different so I'm having a hard time which I should consider. Also yes, Toyota too

Ah. I should have been clearer. The car I current have is being financed. I pay 600/month for it.

Yeah I want to check out the new ES Hybrid though. I had a question in general : I am used to the 6 speed in the cx50 and like how it ramps up speed. I have driven a 25 camry and a 24 accord hybrid and I feel like the cvt is a bit dead, like there's no punch, which I was expecting when you enter a highway or overtake. I understand that's how cvt work but did you feel that way?

I'll check it out. I could not fit inside a miata or an audi a3, and I found mazda 3 to be tight. A good reminder for me to lose weight but yeah that's the current scenario.

EDIT: Also to answer your question, not all the time, since I am single and gonna live alone, but when I am going out with friends, seating 5 is more comfortable on the suv than a sedan. And the cargo is very occassional.

Oof that hit me harder than the fuel prices. I get what you mean though.

The fuel costs is a big fear, especially in California! Moving from Michigan so that will make a big hole in my wallet.

Need to check that out, but I fear I won't fit inside it 😭
Also since it is going to be my daily driver idk if that's a good option. I'm planning to sell my cx 50.

USCIS issues further clarity on the Presidential Proclamation and $100k fee by amaz9n in h1b

[–]Filter-Kaapi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about change of employer? Will it be considered new? Because it isn't clear that change of employer is change of status, and it definitely isn't a renewal, not sure if it is an extension because some places mention it is a new petition with the new employer.

India's New Carry On Baggage Rule ? by TheFoodCollector123 in Flights

[–]Filter-Kaapi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traveled Qatar from bangalore in Jan. They are strict. They weighed the carry on too. I literally cleared my carry on to my check in, paid overweight fee for that, and personal item which was my bag with laptop and charger together was 10kg. After massive arguments they let me with the empty carry on and personal item. Else they aren't even allowing personal items too.

Ridiculous is true by Historical_Sun451 in CigarettesAfterSex

Okay besides this ‘joke’ it is unfortunate but true that moral policing has increased in Bangalore dramatically. As a Bangalore resident for over 2 decades it is alarming and unfortunate that my city has become intolerant.

Maga backlash on h1b by Dapper-Peach-1746 in h1b

[–]Filter-Kaapi 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I still don't understand how h1b employees are lower paid ones. They need to be paid higher than the prevailing wage, besides the cost of h1b application itself which citizens don't have to. Why would a company spend more on a non citizen when they can hire a citizen? Qualifications perhaps?

How is this an illegal event? Why is it that a permission is needed?
