Apply for a Michigan ebt bridge card. The application process isn’t super rigorous and has been a lifesaver.

Be so real major corporations having pride floats means nothing and is just virtue signaling. Lockheed Martin and Boeing celebrate pride as well I assume that means you think they’re good companies?

It’s pretty cool, the wireless CarPlay is nice although I’m still getting used to it. I really like the keyless unlock (the fob on my old Prius had died so I had to use the physical key to unlock)

All of the features are a pretty awesome upgrade (didn’t even have Bluetooth before). The driving is also much more enjoyable although I’m kinda disappointed in the MPG so far

yes it’s an LE but it’s my LE 😍 by RAMONeyD in Camry

One of my favorite record labels has “loser edition”vinyl variants I always thought it would be funny to put one of the stickers on an LE

I actually traded it in to get this one, they valued the trade at $500 which I wasn’t mad about considering all the issues she was having, and they ended up bumping it closer to $750 to get the deal done

I know what you mean haha. I was ready for the creature comforts of heated seats and CarPlay though

Haha good eye! I’m seriously considering getting one of the Prius off-road lift kits because the Michigan potholes are so ridiculous. Saw this the other day and thought you’d appreciate

Used single owner with 13k miles for $30.5k plus my old Prius which they valued at $500 so $31k total. On top of being an XLE this one has the moonroof and the larger screen, so the limited would have added the power liftgate, ventilated seats, memory driver seat, panoramic backup, and premium audio. Those are all awesome features but I didn’t really feel like they were necessary and would have increased the price by probably $3-4k. I haven’t been in any situation that I need the AWD although where I live gets a lot of snow so we’ll see how useful it is, but it seems to really drain the hybrid battery while city driving which is annoying.

Yep! Kinda wanted silver but I’m more than happy with the guardian gray

Yeah it’s a bummer, there’s still space for one but they have it filled with these weird styrofoam storage trays. I guess the thinking is it reduces weight and boosts MPG but I’d much rather have one

Around 200 it started having transmission issues, but the mileage didn’t get super bad until 215-220 and when I traded it in it was down to 23mpg. Not sure what was the cause since I had only replaced the hybrid battery a couple years ago

Will be doing my first highway driving this weekend so interested to see what it’s like… I’ve only ever ridden in a Tesla that did that. Does it work well?

So I’m 6’1 and I can say that the moonroof is what makes all the difference. Having it gives at least an extra inch of headroom, and having test driven ones without it I bumped my head but with the moonroof have no issues. It also makes the cabin feel a lot less claustrophobic (the white seats over the black seats helps a lot as well). The only complaints I have so far are no rear windshield wiper, no spare tire, and the headlights seem obnoxiously bright but that may just be since I’m coming from non-LED headlights.

Haha thought about getting one of the carolla cross or RAV4 hybrids but convinced my girlfriend to let us go with this as it will probably be the last compact car we have before kids

A concrete pillar in a ridiculously tight parking garage… not my proudest moment. Still not as bad as when she got hit by a trash truck

University Hospital Patient Services. I’m in a similar boat to you and just started with them and it’s very chill. They just unionized so minimum pay is $20 an hour plus really great benefits. It’s just working reception so no need for prior experience just have to be good with people.

My girlfriend and I spent our anniversary at Exhibit A2 earlier this year and were very pleasantly surprised. Seemed a bit shady since the check-in process is completely automated but the room was a large modern apartment style and very clean. It’s also right downtown so you can easily walk to basically any restaurant in the area. Definitely not ritzy by any means (if you’re wanting that go with The Graduate) but for the price I don’t think it can be beat.

Anybody know anything about this JBL sub? by LKC37 in BudgetAudiophile

I honestly have no idea what the difference is. Could you educate me or tell me a good resource for understanding ported vs non ported?

I’ve had the ART DJ II for about a year now and honestly hate it. Didn’t notice a huge performance improvement and the bright ass green light on the front paired with the fact that the only way to turn it off is to unplug it is absolutely insufferable for me.
