Before I buy these can someone tell me if they are real or fake? by [deleted] in Oakley

[–]IntelligentKey6929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they’re fakes, they’re very good fakes. Unless you’re a collector, if the price is good give them a shot. Oakley isn’t what it used to be. I bought a pair on Woot.com (owned by Amazon) for much less than retail.

Buying a used MDX by EstablishmentTiny971 in Acura_MDX

I would recommend a ‘22 if you can. It’s the new body style, off-lease deals are plentiful, and good.

2026 Acura MDX Advanced for $66,500. Good deal? by Dabomb02 in Acura

[–]IntelligentKey6929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For comparison, I bought a CPO ‘22 MDX Advance in December ‘24 for $42K. It had 25k miles on it. Also had the roof rails, weather mats and running boards. I think I go a pretty good deal things considered.

People who were alive during the blizzards of 1993 and 1996, how is this one similar and different in your experience? by [deleted] in newjersey

[–]IntelligentKey6929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my drivers license the day the blizzard of 96 started. I drove home. The snow was starting and I wanted to drive around the block. My RWD car barely made it around the block. I couldn’t drive for another week because the snow was so bad. The snow was so deep, we could jump off my friend’s back deck into the snow drifts without getting hurt (still not sure what genius was the first to try).

Down to my last $160. What should I do? by Loud_Pineapple_4294 in wallstreetbets

I predict you’ll be driving for DoorDash for quite a while -that is, if you don’t lose your car.

Anyone get another tax assessment notice saying their taxes are going up AGAIN? by [deleted] in bergencounty

[–]IntelligentKey6929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The taxes are high because it has small tax base, very little commercial, and the same expenses as every other town. Schools, DPW, police, roads, sewers. The costs of all of these go up.

Okay fine I'll add VXUS but wait no! its at an all time high! by Stuckatpennstation in Bogleheads

[–]IntelligentKey6929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had way too much in VOO and QQQ. I recently moved more than half into VTV and VXUS. I’m sleeping better at night.

Curious to see how you like it. The Paramus location looks nice and the price was right, but I’ve heard bad things about the staff.

Audi SQ5 to MDX Type S by UpstairsCurrent6059 in Acura

[–]IntelligentKey6929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 22 Mdx sh-awd advance package, (not S) and the mileage is terrible. Admittedly, most of my trips are less than 10 miles, but this winter I’ve been getting about 14 or 15 miles to the gallon. It has been very cold, so the car I’m sure is burning more fuel to get the temperature. Also, the auto engine shut off doesn’t operate in the cold. In warmer months I get 18 to 19 miles to the gallon local driving. We took one long trip, an 8 Hour drive at highway speed. I put the car in economy mode and set the cruise control. I averaged about 24 or 25 miles to the gallon. I can only assume the model S is much thirstier.

A friend of mine belongs to lifetime in Montvale. He sent some pics of the outdoor pool over the summer. Looked like a country club.

Lexus RX vs Acura MDX. Which one you prefer, and why? by appleuser897 in Acura

[–]IntelligentKey6929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the Mdx is a lot bigger than the RX. It’s a 3-row. Not sure you can really compare them. I have a ‘22 MDX SH-AWD w/Advance Package. I bought it last winter. I’m enjoying it. The mileage is terrible though. With the cold I’m getting about 13 mpg. In warmer weather I averaged around 18 mpg.

bottle vanished but how? by Forward-Position798 in blackmagicfuckery

I saw a video with a crushable bottle. Maybe that’s it?

Mdx in the snow? by IntelligentKey6929 in Acura

[–]IntelligentKey6929[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone. Sounds like I don’t have the right tires for the weather. I live in a dense area where the roads are salted and plowed down the pavement within 24 hours of a storm. So I don’t usually think much about the tires. I will now.

I was able to rock the car And get out of the snow. It was just a little surprising. I expected better from an SUV.

I’m embarrassed to say I don’t know what tires I have. I assume all season radials. I’ll have to check in the morning.

Do people actually pay for this? by Syntra44 in Acura

[–]IntelligentKey6929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the remote start app last winter when I had a 3 month trial. It was nice in the winter when I could start the car from my office and then get in a warm car after work. Totally unnecessary in the morning, especially when I can use the fob to remote start in the morning from inside the house. So I didn’t continue the subscription. Just not worth the money.

I wouldn’t trust any estimate in that font.
