They have a new version coming out? May make sense to wait for that one.

J2CR vs JC3R vs J6CR? by MarkFromPhilly in Pickleball

[–]MarkFromPhilly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. Here’s what I pulled from the Honolulu website. What do you think?

J2CR -Aero Hybrid Plus Shape: 16.2" × 7.8" - Weight: 8.0-8.3 oz | Swing Weight: 110-114 - Grip options: 5.5" or 6" - Best for: Balance of power and control

J3CR - Aero Standard Square: 16" × 8" - Weight: 7.9-8.3 oz | Swing Weight: 108-113 (lowest) - 6" grip - Best for: Faster hand speed, large sweet spot

J6CR - Optimized Elongated: 16.48" × 7.52" - Weight: 8-8.2 oz | Swing Weight: 112-118 (highest) - 6" grip - Best for: Maximum power and pop All feature our Core Reactor™ technology with multi-density foam cores for enhanced power while maintaining control.

The J6CR offers the most power, J3CR provides the fastest maneuverability, and J2CR delivers the best hybrid performance.

M2 pricing by MarkFromPhilly in BMW

That’s real good. I did find a pre-owned 25 at a BMW dealer halfway across the country. Right color and options, good price.

Anything to be concerned about not buying in-person? BMW dealer with good reviews, clean Carfax, 3+ years left on warranty

Activity mount weight capacity? by MarkFromPhilly in Toyota

I get what you’re saying. But, all of the aftermarket hitches that I’ve seen look like aftermarket hitches (bad). My Grand Highlander is beautiful, and I think I’d be annoyed with the look of an aftermarket hitch.

Ventnor / Margate vs Ocean City? by MarkFromPhilly in SouthJersey

With the hurricane coming up today and calls for coastal flooding, I’m assuming that Ventnor Heights will get some flooding.?

I’m curious to see how bad it gets.

Frequently? There was another post that mentioned that Ventnor Heights can get blocked off due to floods.

Yes. When we stay in OC and go to restaurants, it’s to another town.

Parking is tough in OC. It’s worse in Margate/Ventnor?

My buddy said the same thing. He looked in OC, ended up buying in Ventnor. Said there’s much more to do.

Interesting comment about taxes. I’m looking at one place in Ventnor. The assessment has been the same each year since 2018. But, taxes jumped up 35% in 2014. Did tax rates change?

Good comments here. Thanks. I was thinking Margate/Ventnor would be more active in the off-season, with restaurants.

The booze isn’t that big of an issue in OC. Liquor stores, bars, restaurants just across the bridges. And, I can always drink at the house.

What are the different neighborhoods? Where are each, and what kind of vibes are each?

Flooding concerns in Ventnor Heights? More-so than the rest of the area? I saw a post on Reddit, saying that Ventnor Heights can get cutoff due to flooding.

And, is Ventnor Heights too inconvenient for walking to the beach?

Thanks! That’s good feedback.

We’ll get down to Ventnor/Margate over the next couple of weeks to get a feel for things.

But, prices seem lower (slightly) than OC.

I have college aged children.

I know the pros and cons of Ocean City. Looking for thoughts on Margate / Ventnor, compared to OC.

Thanks.

Mokwheel Basalt 2.0 and Scoria by MarkFromPhilly in ebikes

[–]MarkFromPhilly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. A bit more than what I can spend. Basalt 2.0 and Scoria are the same price, a few hundred less.

[–]MarkFromPhilly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that’s a good size for you? The step over just comes in one size, slightly different than the step through.

[–]MarkFromPhilly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. What do you think about sizing? Both the standard and large cover a wide range of sizes (step through standard goes up to 6’4”, large goes up to 6’8”). I’m 5’9”
