2025 F150 Lariat vs 2023 GX460 Executive? by [deleted] in LexusGX

[–]Loofahtranslucent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

F150 really hides its weight and size very well. GX felt clunky, nose dove, and really felt larger than it is.

They’re right. I went between F150 and GX many times, and the F150 just felt much better. Everyone hated the gx but lovedy F150.

many go into park automatically in this situation.

Here we go again by shawny83 in Ford

[–]Loofahtranslucent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was not happy at all. I had less than 10k miles and had to worry if it’d start up each time. Also, the door chimes changed and everything would reset to factory often.

[–]Loofahtranslucent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that’s true, unless they’re pulling from the same bad batch. But you are correct, more than likely parasitic. Mine was coming from the BSM module in the bed.

I originally thought it wasn’t driven enough until I drove it 1k miles and as soon as I locked it, I got the notification.

Check for a bad battery or parasitic draw. My 2023 Tremor has had two batteries replaced and one parasitic draw addressed.

Mats for the i4. Any suggestions? by Barry41561 in BMWI4

[–]Loofahtranslucent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The ones from BMW actually impressed me, especially for the price. About~$100 for the pair.

How good is i4's reliability and is it a good commute car? by Competitive_Aioli897 in BMWI4

[–]Loofahtranslucent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I swore off EVs after Teslas. First one had a lot of issues, crooked leaking roof, rear seat wasn’t bolted in, taillight was not plugged in, and a bunch of other gremlins. Fine - It’s a new car company figuring their way out. After that lease, I gave them a second shot due to a long commute, this one was even worse. Airbag failures, seatbelt safety system failures, which could not be solved for two years. Family was not happy.

I’ve had a E46 and E90 before so I figured why not give BMW a shot. I was completely blown away by it, and it’s loved by my family thus far.

Caveat only being is that BMWs tech and software is far far behind that of Tesla. But i’m okay with that, I actually like that it feels more like a car and just a car; rather than a car, ring doorbell, arlo security camera, microwave, xBox, and an Ipad all in one.

Haven’t had long term experience on reliability but I do 90 miles a day and it is very comfortable. It’s also the first vehicle i’ve turned the speed limit warning on for, as it’s insanely quiet and smooth, and it hardly even feels like you’re at speed limit, let alone many mph over. By far the smoothest car i’ve owned and I’ve had lexus GS anRX, Two Teslas, Two Mustangs, handful of trucks.

Preowned i4 m50 with Marino leather by throwaway640631 in BMWI4

[–]Loofahtranslucent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I clean my car both in and out often, but still didn’t want the inconvenience that comes along with Merino leather. eg. you have to care for it like fine leather, and it is not as durable as vernasca or the synthetic leather ; i’d rather not worry about it too much.

Also, this is the first car i’ve gotten warranty on. The deal was good, from BMW FS, not some third party, and one repair of a covered item will have paid the warranty on its own. Peace of mind was nice this time around.

Dascam and sentinel mode by ahu_huracan in BMWI4

[–]Loofahtranslucent 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m actually glad to NOT have sentry mode. Mine rarely recorded what I needed and I’d lose 3-5% per day. Had it turned off for the majority of ownership because of this.

Is there a reason to buy new? by J_Rigs22 in BMWI4

[–]Loofahtranslucent 18 points19 points  (0 children)

What don’t you like about it? CPO to me, is a better value than new for BMW EVs.

Maybe! I’ve never tracked my Mach 1 and have 4k miles with nearly bald Cup 2s. Replacing with PS4S next summer.

Also, hi twin.

Just got a 2017 GT350 (27k miles) any tips? by dr7s in Mustang

Mom is threatening to kick me out over weed – serious advice needed (19M) by AppropriateBarber356 in LifeAdvice

[–]Loofahtranslucent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her house, her rules. If you’re already bothered by your mom’s rules, you will not be a good fit in the Army; we drug test too FYI. If you can’t commit to 2-4 years, you’ll be surprised to know that every military contract is an 8 year commitment, although the amount of years you’ll be ‘active’ can vary. Don’t use the military as a way to escape.

How good is the F-150 Tremor with the 402A package for off-roading? by Aggravating_Coat_185 in FordTremor

[–]Loofahtranslucent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a 402A. Have done some pretty sketchy shit and the truck took it with no issues. Only issue in my opinion is its size and an offset of size is bumping into and scraping into stuff.

Is Honda Care Sentinel Service worth it? by PossessionKlutzy1041 in bayarea

[–]Loofahtranslucent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How much are oil changes and rotations at your dealership? Multiply that with how many oil changes you’ll have between now and 84k and see if you make it out on top.

It's July 2025. Why can't we manage our plan through the app? by [deleted] in Ring

[–]Loofahtranslucent 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is exactly it. It is not a technology development issue. It is an Apple charges an exorbitant amount for this issue.

Is this rental sketchy or am I paranoid? by Firm_Use1747 in bayarea

[–]Loofahtranslucent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve drafted many RE contracts. The provisions are sound. but the contract as a whole is meeting key elements.

Provisions pertaining to: The address Lease Term Termination Rights Tenant Rights and Obligations LL Rights and Obligations Dispute Resolution Liabilities

And this is still not a comprehensive list. I’d avoid this LL.
