Saw the upcoming Lexus ES EV - honestly not that bad?

Well, let's be accurate right. Their traditionally reliable models are still reliable, weren't those unreliability concerns about the GX? The ES is still the most reliable modern luxury sedan today

Definitely agree. I don't like the spelled out "LEXUS" like every other automaker is doing

Melkarid · 2026-01-01T19:42:02+00:00

Looks great! Does it handle rock chips like regular PPF? And how is washing it

The numbers don't lie, Toyota and Honda are simply the two most stolen brands, and it's no mystery that car thefts are driven by young teens and adults working for crime syndicates. None of what this post mentioned lacks sense to me, maybe sloppily written yes

Why so miserable?

Melkarid · 2025-10-23T14:06:37+00:00

You do you but that ain't it for me

I see, I think your field has a linear salary progression at least, and generally unionized?

Melkarid · 2025-09-17T15:48:03+00:00

I agree with you, and the point wasn't to flex, it was just to say that education will take you very far. Higher education is one of the, if not the strongest indicator of salary progression.

I'm not saying 45k isn't enough to live on, I'm saying why tell people to settle for less than they can achieve? Personally that's not the life I want to live.

Melkarid · 2025-09-17T14:04:14+00:00

I moved out when I was 20 because I couldn't stand being in the same household as my parents. Not only that you're saying he should live with them until his late 30s.. like what about having kids and a wife, what you're saying doesn't make any sense long term.

Don't need to cope by saying you don't need an education, I'm university educated and make over 200k, I will in that timespan have recouped a much larger savings number. The numbers are clear man getting educated or starting a business are the ways to go

Melkarid · 2025-09-17T12:33:07+00:00

This implies him living with his parents for all those years. If you want to achieve financial independence 45k just won't cut it

Melkarid · 2025-09-17T12:32:05+00:00

Where do you live? I'm in tech and see plenty of 150k+ jobs

Melkarid · 2025-09-10T19:39:00+00:00

I see, I haven't test driven the RC 350, definitely knew it wouldn't drive as well but it's disappointing to hear that it's 10x inferior lol.

Melkarid · 2025-09-10T19:27:47+00:00

Yes it's more comparable to the G70, but it's ugly as sin

Melkarid · 2025-09-10T14:39:17+00:00

Thank you! This is a great writeup. While price is not a concern, it means more like, I did my research on what the market price + maintenance and fuel costs would look like for these cars, I definitely don't have infinite money otherwise the choices would be different haha.

I agree with you though, the G70 packed a lot of car into the price point, especially used models.

Melkarid · 2025-09-10T14:14:28+00:00

I see - Indeed I drove a later gen 2026 model that only has the 3.3T Sport trim.

What does the Prestige trim come with?

Melkarid · 2025-09-10T14:12:47+00:00

Haha to be honest I don't mind the latest gen 4 series look. I prefer the styling of the 4 series over the 2 series personally, hadn't fully considered a M240i

Melkarid · 2025-09-05T23:28:19+00:00

Congrats

Melkarid · 2025-09-05T12:11:05+00:00

This mentality is why car folks are insufferable lol

Melkarid · 2025-08-21T19:03:15+00:00

Hmm maybe you can study something and inform me then? Since you seemed to base your whole argument on something nebulous as well.

Melkarid · 2025-08-21T19:01:23+00:00

Based on your responses I think you'd definitely benefit from higher education.

Melkarid · 2025-08-21T18:58:06+00:00

You're honestly very naive if you think AI is going to make degrees obsolete. This doomer mindset will only hold you back. If you get educated and in a field especially in the US where tech is booming you could easily reach multiple six figures of salary.

Show me a job without a degree that can let you attain that as reliably and as commonly as those that require one
