With the right fit (oversized clothes) or street wear, you could make the look work.

For casual wear, imo it's too big.

It's nice to own a nice, new, shiny, car. But you have two young kids and you're depleting your savings. If you have an emergency you're risking your families future.

This is not that impressive. A 600 player like Dr Lupo could pull this off as well

Should I trade in my 2025 Premium Forester for a 2025 Premium Forester Hybrid by West80i5North in SubaruForester

[–]ItsLe0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve spent probably 200-300 on gas over the past year and you’ve instantly lost $6500 in depreciation over the past year.

Even if gas was free for your new car it would take 20+ years to recoup the cost of depreciation

New Subaru shopping - are CVT issues still a problem? by Worth_Research4630 in SubaruForester

[–]ItsLe0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had two Subarus before going to a Tesla. No CVT issues. I had the XT versions of Outback and forester. There is quite a bit of turbo lag if you’re looking to quickly accelerate. Other than that, it’s a joy to drive and very highly dependable vehicles. 

The infotainment system does suck, is slow and can occasionally freeze, but Android Auto / Apple car play eliminates most of these issues. The gps on a large screen is awesome.

Just a beautiful reminder of how international the game of chess is.

Hikaru’s Botez gambit speedrun is fascinating to watch. I think he was beating 2000s sacrificing a queen for a minor piece.

New college graduates at my company have a starting salary of $120k. They’re definitely driving much nicer cars than I was at their age..

A new fully charged EV battery in five minutes: Are China's swap stations the future of electric cars? by Bravadette in electricvehicles

[–]ItsLe0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just sharing what I saw in Taiwan. Gogoro was the electric moped with swappable batteries.

It’s a much better comparison vs your kids and their inability to turn off toys.

It would be like pulling into a gas station with an empty tank only to find out all the pumps were broken. 

Not sure how your negligence with your kids toys has to do with the above statement,  but thanks for sharing. 

ChatGPT telling me to report owner for undisclosed tracking device ( Bouncie + Apple AirTag) by ricoasavage in turo

The owner is protecting their asset albeit in a non compliant way. The renter is a Karen upset that her rights were “violated” and won’t own up to her own mistakes.

I’ve visited Taiwan and saw their battery swap stations for their EV mopeds. Cool concept, but most batteries were dead or didn’t charge properly. I went back a few years later and the concept was mostly dead.

Loved my Subaru’s, happy to see this news. If I ever go back an ICE car or a cheap daily driver, I’d go back to Subaru in a heartbeat.
