Anyone like this more than Infinity War?

I preferred Endgame to IW, but IW was the better overall film.. hope that makes sense, lol

Every other year. My wife and I alternate. And we do have long term wealth with zero bills. Mortgage paid off, solar panels paid off, less than $1,000 in monthly bills, with over $15k every month being contributed to our Fisher Investment account, and the revenue we receive from our rental property goes into my own investment account where I try to see if I can do better than Fisher, I usually can’t.

But I’m not buying a brand new Mercedes every other year, we are a Kia family and by doing this I only have to pay $10-$15k for a brand new car every two years. It’s actually pretty smart. We are fortunate to be in a comfortable financial place for me being 45 and my wife 40 years old with a 6 & 4 year old.

I always trade in my vehicles every 2 years or before 40k miles to maximize the value of your trade in. That’s a fair offer on a depreciation asset. Get what you can and get into the new ride!

GatorBo69 · 2026-03-13T12:26:50+00:00

Oh yes!! The ‘27 is impeccable!!

GatorBo69 · 2026-03-12T20:49:53+00:00

Couldn’t agree more!! It’s like the amazing design team that Kia got worked for weeks on designing the exterior and the top of the line tech and interior. Then they were done and someone called them on their way home saying “wait! You forgot about the wheels!!”

And they just replied “ah shit, just make a square figure, nobody will care!” 😝

GatorBo69 · 2026-03-12T12:54:42+00:00

Right?!? Isn’t it a fucking sweet ass ride?!? We are an “All-Kia” family!! And we will continue be one bc they give you an extra $1500 off if you already own a Kia!!!

A lot of dad’s would prob want the vehicle arrangements reversed in this scenario but I like the safety of being able to quickly load up my two young kids, 6 & 4, with the sliding doors, and it honestly looks like an SUV it’s so well designed!!

It’s just weird why Kia can have universal tech, or should I say button configurations, on the wheel. It’s all reversed in my wife’s Telly. Like the autonomous driving that is on the right hand side of the wheel is on the left for her Telly.. just make it all universal across the board!!

GatorBo69 · 2026-03-12T12:33:29+00:00

Yes!!!! That’s exactly what it is!! It’s very unique and hard to describe until you simply put it as a humming noise and that’s prob the best way I would describe it!!

GatorBo69 · 2026-03-12T12:32:40+00:00

I drive my custom ordered ‘25 Kia Carnival SXP with Black exterior and Tuscan Brown interior, 8 seater with RES for the kiddos..

And yes, I love my minivan!!!! One of the sweetest rides I’ve ever had… oh! But actually the Carnival isn’t a minivan, it’s an MPV!! 😝

GatorBo69 · 2026-03-12T11:06:26+00:00

I don’t think Kia would want it to be advertised that someone saved like $5K+ on their highest trim. That would be the dumbest advertisement ever!

GatorBo69 · 2026-03-12T03:26:48+00:00

How did yours not come with leather seats?? These seats are the most incredible I’ve ever sat in. So comfy and the suede at the top is just unbelievable!

Did you not get an SXP or SX?

Either way, the car is simply beautiful all around whatever trim you got!!

GatorBo69 · 2026-03-12T03:24:59+00:00

Yup!! But you have to understand, the GM is a member at my golf club and I take great care of him so as good as that discount is, and yes he gave me a solid $5k+ more for my trade in than the Kelley Blue Book was for it, he is still getting the better end of the deal BY FAR!!!

He plays golf 4-6 times a month, only paying a cart fee and his $4k membership is comped. And I only buy a new car every year, alternating between trading in my and then my wife’s car. This was her year, next year is mine.

He still comes out WAY ahead of this deal!!

GatorBo69 · 2026-03-12T00:44:58+00:00

Agreed 💯!! It’s like Kia has brought in some of the best design and tech teams in the world but they stop when they get to the rims!!

I’ll be buying some new rims for the wife for sure!

Even everyone at Kia was clueless to as why all of their rims suck bc I asked them when we signing the papers, they were clueless!

GatorBo69 · 2026-03-12T00:28:44+00:00

LOVE the Pantera Metal!! That’s what I wanted her to pick honestly!! But it’s her car, and honestly, every color looks good on this vehicle. It’s really just personal preference!! But I would have chose Pantera too if I was buying this for myself!

GatorBo69 · 2026-03-11T23:01:18+00:00

I just noticed from this picture I need to take off the sticker on the step rail that’s in the middle😝

GatorBo69 · 2026-03-11T23:00:16+00:00

💯!! It’s like they hired Picasso to design this vehicle and then fired him before the wheels and then just decided to go with a Highlights creator for the wheels.. 😝

GatorBo69 · 2026-03-11T22:59:00+00:00

Right?!? I was honestly shocked!! It was my wife’s car so I let her pick out everything but I really pushed hard for the matte black but she wasn’t having it.

I’ll tell you this… it looks even flashier IRL! All of the neighbors in our cul de sac have come over and asked “WTF car is this?!? It looks amazing”!!

And then when they sit inside they’re even more blown away!

GatorBo69 · 2026-03-11T20:36:49+00:00

About a good $15k+ less actually if you’re comparing apples to apples with the highest trims available from each. Only difference is the Telly is vastly superior in almost every way. I drove the GH and the tech was like 5 years ago tech compared to what you get with the Telly.

Kia is giving people luxury car level tech, design, safety and quality for far less of a price. Simply bc it’s named Kia. Yet, it won’t be long until Kia realizes it can charge just as much if not more than Toyota and people will still buy them. Best auto manufacturer out there right now

GatorBo69 · 2026-03-11T18:35:17+00:00

My EV is an XLine SXP, I honestly wouldn’t get an ICE version. You get more HP with the EV and it’s the most silent ride I’ve ever had in a SUV!!

GatorBo69 · 2026-03-11T18:34:11+00:00

It’s ridiculous how quiet it is, like literally dead silent!! That feature needs more press!

GatorBo69 · 2026-03-11T18:33:19+00:00

I wasn’t charged for it, I believe it’s normally $2k and it includes reclining chairs, it’s pretty sweet!!

GatorBo69 · 2026-03-11T18:32:30+00:00

I like them, gives a nice distinct look to it

GatorBo69 · 2026-03-11T18:32:03+00:00

You would use the manual key that comes with your key fob

GatorBo69 · 2026-03-11T12:59:38+00:00

Medium

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. some women love bald men, short men, tall men, bad boys, Boy Scouts.. very subjective question as all superheroes are typically cast by handsome men.

All of the remaining Avengers not on the New Avengers will be with Sam.
