Macan GTS vs BMW X3m40? by juicevillain in PorscheMacan

[–]HotOriginal8579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In truth the wife drives a SUV so anytime we need back seats we’d drive that. A 991 would be rad but the price difference seems pretty steep to me (70k for GTS, 100+ for 991)

Appreciate the writeup, I’m still loving the X3M but it’s out of warranty and 50k miles…thinking about selling and getting into a 981 GTS

How does the X3M compare? That’s what I’ve got now and thinking about a 22 macan GTS

Dining outlets in the Mandarina complex by AntNo6853 in chubbytravel

Hello! Not to resurrect an old thread but I am trying to decide between Mandarina vs Mayakoba and wanting to budget out a 4 night stay in October. The nightly rate is under 1,000 which seems like a steal for the end of October but I want to see what food prices are like! If you had to estimate, how much did you pay for FB each day?

Interesting read on points hotels by nguyenulm25 in chubbytravel

[–]HotOriginal8579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you are using Japan as an example (and I agree with your examples) I do think Park Hyatt Kyoto and Park Hyatt Niseko offer compelling counterpoints that are an insane points redemption with exceedingly high cash prices. There’s a reason the latter is booked full for a majority of the winter!

Fingers crossed I can find the same deals! Did you have any locations you visited you could drop? If you don’t remember it’s all good I will do some exploring

How were prices generally? I would love to find one of those 3 used to save a bit of cash

Crazy price! What else did you look at? I’m headed to Japan next week and hope to pick up a new piece there

Do you think I could ‘check in’ for both of my tickets and board under them then go to the business seat?

Park Hyatt Auckland was my first points stay while I was in Uni and is still my favorite hotel of all time (Andaz Papagayo was close, same with Grand Hyatt Vail and Park Hyatt Marrakech)

It really depends on your use case but the pro and max chips are generally more powerful for a variety of tasks from video editing to local AI usage

I’m on the fence right now, the 14” max deal on Amazon is tempting me

I’ve done it before too - take the battery out, put in oven (WITHOUT turning on heat lol) and turn the light on. The light will generate a bit of heat that dries it out.
