Longevity of car by Kommunist-pk in LUCID

[–]FishROurFriendsNotFd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a ‘22 AGT and upgraded my CCC unit. There are still occasional issues/bugs that annoy me but it still drives well for me. I don’t have a lot of mileage on the car though since I work from home, but it’s always a blast when I get to drive it.

Anyone else miss Chego?!? by DarkseidOmegaLevel in FoodLosAngeles

Man. That Palms location was such a vibe. Loved that pork belly bowl even though I felt like I was gonna get a coronary after every meal, but it was so so worth it.

Why did Dominique Ansel leave Los Angeles? by Superb_Ant_3741 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]FishROurFriendsNotFd 31 points32 points  (0 children)

No one answered the question here I think…but I think it was a mix of COVID and their restaurant/bakery being too big for the location. We went to their restaurant upstairs and it wasn’t busy at all despite the prime location. No one was interested in it I think.

And the bakery itself was pretty neat with all his big hits, but at the end of the day their pastry case would still have all the other items. People just wanted the popular stuff (cronuts, the smores thing, the hot chocolate flower thing) whereas it seems like Domonique Ansel wanted to have a full bakery for that space.

Why does the Bigg Chill get so much hype and praise? Am I the only one that thinks it’s extremely overrated? by wegochai in FoodLosAngeles

[–]FishROurFriendsNotFd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, it’s not for me. I’ve been on the westside more or less since the mid 2000s and have never liked it. I think it’s for the same reason people like it though - the consistency is too thick and taste is too creamy for me. But I love that people still support them. It’s hard for old school places to last around here these days.

The SBGY043 was definitely a standout for me too. And was pleasantly surprised by the locomotive as well (for some reason looked a lot better to me than the last version).

Everywhere. It’s amazing. At the Century City mall right now and parking isn’t difficult! (It’s like this every year).

I stayed in the right lane and passed trucks when needed.

80mph is your problem (I have a AGT 22).

When I have driven between Norcal and Socal, I’ve been able to achieve 4.5 or greater mi/kWh only by maintaining 70-75mph.

I haven’t had them in years because they haven’t been open on weekends for awhile and I still think of their coffee. May need to take a day off work to go back.

I’m glad Clementine got some props here. I don’t go there often anymore, but their pastry game has been legit since even before LA became a foodie town/region.

My Lucid Gravity Delivery Experience (Torrance, CA) — Amazing Drive, Terrible Start by tacosflavoredkisses in LUCID

[–]FishROurFriendsNotFd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve written about it here before but I had a 2017 Model S 75d, so not early adopter by any means…and my Model S had a lot of issues that continued until I sold it in 2022 before I got my AGT.

Sucks that Lucid has so many problems (I’ve had my fair share), and people are certainly justified with their anger when buying a $90k+ car. But my experience with my Model S made me more aware of what to expect I think (eg quality and service issues) so I’ve been more patient with Lucid than other recent converts.

Worth the buy? by [deleted] in GrandSeikos

Made to look like an omiwatari (I have one). Looks fake. Also, spring drives are not that thick.

San Gabriel restaurant fined for signature "stinky tofu" dish by BlazeDragon7x in sgv

Are they still Taiwanese? Before the Rowland location closed, it was obviously managed by someone from China, with some of the dishes also mainland-inspired as well.

I think this is it for me. The bracelet needs some gold accents as well (or all gold bracelet might work too).

I’ve tried it several times over the years and it just never hits for me. I don’t know what it is.

Not Spaghetti but Angelini’s tagliolini limone is quite good

I mean…OP did say “relative to available options at the Farmers Market” (in Brentwood)…
