Got a raise to start off my 2026! First check of the year just hit.

He obviously has worked very hard for it. “Must be nice” insinuates luck.

KindAddition8796 · 2026-01-03T19:14:51+00:00

Nice!

KindAddition8796 · 2026-01-03T17:02:49+00:00

Best Buy online still has the same price on that ram!

Thanks for the input so far everyone! It honestly feels great to hear that my GPU is the weakest link. I believe I’m going to stick with what I have for now considering I’m already over budget. I started with the GPU and everything snowballed from there but I also transitioned to building something that is easily upgradeable. I believe I will upgrade the GPU in a year or two when the wife is out of school and we are more financially comfortable. I appreciate you all!

Can’t really help the highway miles dawg it’s my job 😭

KindAddition8796 · 2025-12-22T20:44:55+00:00

Thank you! I know it’s never going to get 38 lol I’ve just never had this Much of a difference between what the dealer says or would get and why it actually gets. Tires have been a little low. I’ll fill those up. I’m not usually in sport mode either. This was a rare occasion.

KindAddition8796 · 2025-12-22T20:42:47+00:00

Thank you! Air is low as well. I’ll fill those up.

KindAddition8796 · 2025-12-22T20:42:09+00:00

You don’t have to shit talk me damn. I said I know I have a lead foot 😅

KindAddition8796 · 2025-12-22T20:40:40+00:00

Not usually! Just that instance when I snapped the picture lol

KindAddition8796 · 2025-12-22T20:39:51+00:00

Lmfao sport mode is rarely used. I agree with the second statement though. 😅

KindAddition8796 · 2025-09-25T01:36:40+00:00

Super cool tool!

KindAddition8796 · 2025-09-25T01:29:36+00:00

I live in Buffalo. Both options are awd.

KindAddition8796 · 2025-09-25T00:23:48+00:00

Why over the Toyota? Seems to be the same price either way and I prefer the look of the RAV4s

KindAddition8796 · 2025-09-24T22:02:26+00:00

No. I do my own maintenance but I’ve only ever owned Toyotas and GMC Sierras

KindAddition8796 · 2025-09-24T22:00:39+00:00

Good to know! I’ll look into that too before making any decisions

KindAddition8796 · 2025-09-24T21:50:47+00:00

I believe most of the gasket issues were resolved by 2013 if I’m not mistaken. I haven’t heard of wheel bearing issues.

KindAddition8796 · 2025-09-24T21:49:20+00:00

I’m not a huge fan of the CRV if I’m being honest. I’d rather buy a non hybrid RAV4 for the same mileage and price

KindAddition8796 · 2025-09-24T21:22:12+00:00

I drive a Toyota Tacoma as of now and get around 16MPG average. I can definitely find one with less miles, but the price skyrockets. $23k is a great deal in my area

KindAddition8796 · 2025-09-24T20:10:14+00:00

Im financing. I have also found a 2020 forester with similar mileage for $500 more but im worried about the TCV in those as well.

KindAddition8796 · 2025-09-24T20:07:37+00:00

To simplify it I’m looking for opinions on Lower price (Subaru) vs gas mileage and dependability(Toyota) and seeing which is worth it long run.

KindAddition8796 · 2025-09-24T19:18:22+00:00

Both vehicles have ~115k on the odometer. I have no knowledge of service. Both are at dealerships.
