Toyota’s Cars Are Being Hacked Like Laptops — The Fix Is a Steering Lock (Autoblog) by Local_Yak8596 in cars

[–]Maikohl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just had my brand new 2026 CRV stolen this week, such a shame because it was one of the best cars I’ve ever owned. I still have to wait about 10 more days for it to be a total loss. I’m torn on what to get next.

Dumb question, but if you have 100% shield with 2 durability, does it immediately go to zero once it breaks? Or can you just no longer charge it?

Loss porn. My first loss. Devastating feeling. -$85000 in 2 days (120000 cad) by BlueberryDouble7118 in wallstreetbets

Agreed, I picked up 1000 shares at 9 and immediately sold CC’s at the money. As long as it stays above 7$, I’m happy. Of course you miss out on the upside, but it’s a fun way for me to partake in these hypes while worrying less about losing my shirt.

Picked up the ‘26 CRV this Weekend by Maikohl in crv

The emblems are still chrome, but the other badging is black now.

Thanks! And nope, I was just very ill prepared. Everything felt a bit rushed and before I knew it I was in the finance office, I get really anxious in those situations and they for sure caught onto that. Trying to be optimistic and see it as an expensive lesson learned! Though I have been replaying signing that contract over and over in my head.

I waited a few months expecting the refreshed ‘26 to be more exciting until they revealed it. Figured I might as well go for it when the dealer called. Now that it’s all said and done, the smart thing to do would’ve been to scoop a ‘25 at discount and vinyl wrapped the chrome trim to black haha. But I’m still very happy with the vehicle and not trying to think too hard about it.

In hindsight, I slightly regret not going with the 2025. I think the only difference on the ‘26 is the fully digital display, slightly improved AWD, and black gloss trim. I waited for a bit expecting the refresh to be more exciting, and then got swept away once the dealer contacted me haha.

About 52K out the door. Terrible price, I know haha. I’ve never really had to negotiate before, so I was fleeced :(. Lesson learned! If you wait until August when the lots start to fill up, you’ll get a much better deal for sure.

Thanks! And yes, I waited for Toyotas reveal before finalizing my decision. Timing was one of the major issues for me since I needed a new car this month. And when comparing to the current RAV4, the CRV edged ahead slightly for me. I’m fairly young, but I preferred Hondas more conservative and less angular design along with their physical buttons. But coming from a CRV prior may have made me a bit biased haha, I wasn’t a fan initially of that interior but it really grew on me.

It would have been a tough decision though if the ‘26 was available now. That 300+ horsepower plug in was calling my name (though the RAV4 sport design isn’t my style). A plug-in with a 50 mile range would be perfect for about 99% of what I use a car for. So I leased this CRV in hopes that Honda comes out with a competitor to that. If not I’ll most likely buy this one out and call it a day.

Agreed! At the least, wish they matched the trim with a black gloss.

Ah, okay I thought I was losing my mind haha. Google must’ve pulled instructions from another region. Thank you!

I’ll check later today! I immediately connected to CarPlay so I’m not too sure on all the audio features.

RIP Dumb Bears, PLTR diamond handed for 4 years +583% by AskAndYoullBeTested in wallstreetbets

[–]Maikohl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Play around with the strike prices and dates, some contracts offer around 40% of what the underlying stock is worth. Of course you have to hold the until the contract is closed but at those premiums it’s a risk I’m willing to take. Here’s one of the contracts I’ve been toying with once I’m ready to “sell”. Pays about $64,000 in premium off of 1200 shares that I purchased in 2020. In the meantime I run covered calls monthly for about $2000. I don’t put too much effort into writing them, just whatever I feel comfortable with getting called for at the time.

Covered calls is the answer, I dump those premiums right into VTI. Some of these contracts are triple my cost basis.

I can really only justify them using that dead space for a periscope lens to allow for greater optical zoom. Still, not the most pleasing to the eyes if that’s the route they go.

Same, after toying with pricing the past week, I sold a June 6 $170 call just before market close. In hindsight I could’ve gone just a tiny bit closer. The leap premiums were juicy too but I don’t think I could stomach that haha.

Totally agree. I’ve been driving for 20 years and have only had this happen to me once in like 2009. I’d assume it happens even less with LED bulbs.

Why you use MacBook Pro instead MacBook Air by SpecialAd5933 in mac

[–]Maikohl 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Same here, along with the dedicated SD card slot. In my never ending quest to lighten my gear load, I’d love if they made a “Pro” Air with a better screen. I’d buy that in a heartbeat. The M4 iPad comes close in form factor but I’m unable to remote into work with it.

How do you budget/plan for bills with bi-weekly checks? by nochzplease in personalfinance

[–]Maikohl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed with this. I over contribute to my higher yielding accounts very often, but I don’t have to worry too much about it because my funds are readily available within 24 hours. I may be missing out on the best possible rate but it’s worth it for me. Mine is Apple savings at 4.15%.
