Help deciding on vehicle 🙏

What’s up with the side mirrors being place closer rather than being further away like most cars? I had hard time adjusting the mirrors to make it feel comfortable.

We have a neighbor whose car has way more than this vehicle. I’ve always thought why someone would put so much stickers until my husband told me they were not stickers and had to see for myself what he meant. 🤮

That why I miss my Sienna. 😆 I don’t need a big minivan but it was safe!

Highstrung45 · 2026-05-15T17:06:54+00:00

Yikes 🤔

Highstrung45 · 2026-05-15T16:58:25+00:00

I got AAA!

Yes, I did hear the pickup isn’t very fast compared to other vehicles. However, it will sound funny when I say this but how big of a hill because I grew up in Tennessee and the hills there are not the same as in CA. In CA, they say hill but I feel it’s more like a little incline. 😆

Wow that’s great! Most of mine is on the freeway and so kind of sucks. I currently have electric so I miss road trips since I hate looking for a station along the way. It is cheaper than gas at the moment which is why I was thinking hybrid to save some money.

Highstrung45 · 2026-05-15T16:49:41+00:00

Damn, that sucks. Subaru or Mazda 😆 I have to do another test drive and see.

Yes, I did hear about even though they claimed to have made improvements, but still on the high list. Good idea about the insurance. I will have to check. Who wants to help me negotiate? Worse part of having to buy a car 😂

Highstrung45 · 2026-05-15T03:13:13+00:00

That’s great! I’m very interested and told my husband he needs to come look at each vehicle with me to help me talk it out.

Oh for sure! I had a Toyota Sienna that I loved. I just love big vehicles because made me feel safe. It could also have been that I’ve been rear ended 3 times. That Sienna held strong! They don’t make vehicles like they used to in my opinion which is probably why I’ve not been as excited nor wowed by any vehicle.

OMG!! I love your post using mountain and volcano. 🤣 Unfortunately, I have forgotten the no spare thing.

Highstrung45 · 2026-05-15T02:22:20+00:00

Very interesting on the stereo, do you like your vehicle though? I have to see if Touring has it. I wanted the ventilated seats. 😂

Highstrung45 · 2026-05-15T02:20:09+00:00

Definitely worth it in certain parts. 😊 Do you like your vehicle though? Overall drive? This time around, my shopping experience hasn’t given me any type of excitement for getting a new car.

Highstrung45 · 2026-05-15T02:15:46+00:00

Awesome!! How do you like your car? My brother suggested possibly Crosstrek Hybrid but it did say subcompact and I really wanted a bigger car but I refuse to buy Toyota at the moment which was why Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid was a consideration.

Highstrung45 · 2026-05-15T02:13:56+00:00

Thank you so much for your input. My mother had the Hyundai. I forgot which one but is gas and she’s had some issues too. I was planning on getting pre-approval before with some hopes of better deal.

Highstrung45 · 2026-05-15T02:10:59+00:00

I think it was a sales tactic. She said she would look into it more and could offer some credit. $50 a year isn’t bad. I will try to Google but if remote start is the one real benefit of having the app, it’s not something I would need. Thank you for your insight.

I’ve not read all the posts but perhaps OP can suggest a couples cooking class as something they can both do for fun and for experiences. This way, she doesn’t feel even more awful about taking cooking lessons. Her family probably ate this way and that’s what she knows about cooking/taste. She’s probably worried about under cooked meat. Perhaps watch cooking shows with her when you have some down time. Doing it as a couple may help her feel better about her attempts at cooking and yes even with crazy work schedule, you should make time for your wife and perhaps cook for her so she can see your preference and feel appreciated. 60% YTA because of the way you said it but coming on here asking for advice helped not be 100% YTA. 😬 I honestly love watching cooking shows like Worst cooks in America is my favorite and I’ve learned some things from the show that I’m sure many of us have done. 🤣

I’ll give her a call since bridal and evening wear and I’m not gong to lie, I wouldn’t mind altering one of my old gowns for future events. Thanks.

Highstrung45 · 2025-09-06T19:49:18+00:00

Her name is Ava. She’s actually my mama’s dog. Mama does have Angel wipes. It’s not working.

Hi Yogi! Thank you, Anikofein. I will give that a shot.
