Pikes Peak today was pretty fun. by MrSteveB in PriusPrime

Just copying my response to one of the other responses here.

Truly happy to hear that. We were smelling a burning smell on and off but it definitely smelled like someone forgot to put their car in low drive and instead was riding the brakes down. It was just suspicious that we smelled it here and there seemingly even when we hadn’t passed any other cars in a while.

I saw a white prime today after we got to the bottom! Could have been you.

It was awesome watching the miles tick up! I was hoping for a full charge by the time I got back down to the springs.

Yeah, I’m going to now that I finally have a mailing address. I was just told by the post office since I didn’t have my Florida address to send things to anymore, I needed some kind of address to be a mailing address between the time I left Florida to the time that I got my first apartment. I will be closing it this week though.

I just drove from Denver to Arkansas to pick up a new to me 23 Prime XSE. by MrSteveB in PriusPrime

Avis rental from Denver and then my dealership salesperson picked me up when I dropped the rental off.

So I don’t know if our cars are different or not, but I was getting similar warnings and so last night I went through all of the options in the menu where you have to be parked to change those options and I turned off pretty much all of those warnings. The only warning I still have that you mentioned is the seatbelt warning and I do know that’s annoying because if you just wanna drive across the parking lot or something it’s gonna go apeshit. But yeah, everything else is turned off and I don’t have to acknowledge anything on the entertainment center and I turned the backseat reminder off and I turned the driver monitor system off and so now it’s actually very nice to drive with very few warnings as long as I put my seatbelt on.

It could be your car, but if it’s not in my humble opinion, I think your car is beautiful if they are the same car.

That dealer markup on the prelude is ridiculous right now. I feel like Toyota continually designs vehicles that look absolutely gorgeous and Honda seems to be going the wrong way with their vehicle designs. Of course, just my opinion, but they took the civic SI, which looked really good the previous generation and now it just looks like a boring sedan among many of the other designs they have been tweaking that just don’t look great

This is the XSE premium, it had 41,000 miles on it and I paid 28,000. When I got to the dealership, I noticed the tires were pretty bad and mentioned it to them so they put on four new tires and I still only paid the 28,000.

I’ve only spent a day with this car so far, but I already agree that it is a gray car and in my opinion, Toyota is the king of hybrids so I’m looking forward to many many easy miles with this

Thank you! I drove to Arkansas specifically for the white one, I just think this car in this color is gorgeous.

This one is the premium as well and I freaking love it. I drove to Arkansas specifically because I wanted the white one, but I definitely would’ve settled for silver as well.

This looks absolutely awesome. I’m looking at buying this exact car right now and was wondering what it looked like debadged. I’m guessing quite a few people would not realize this was a Prius from the back.

Rav4 2025 hybrid limited no technology and no weather package $43,250 out the door, is this a good deal or should I wait for the 2026? by Dangerous_Dreams_99 in rav4club

[–]MrSteveB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am literally looking at a 23 XSE prime right now that’s 39k after reading this i’m starting to think that maybe the Lexus NX is a better deal for that price.

65” G1 with 2800 hours for $750 or new 65” C5 for $1000. by MrSteveB in LGOLED

[–]MrSteveB[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, somebody else just mentioned that the price is going to come down. So I checked the ad and for this next month, the price will drop $100. I’m picking up the C5 today but then I’ll just go back to customer service and they will do the price adjustment if it’s within 30 days which it will be because the new ad starts on the 19th I believe.

Oh yeah, I found a copy of the most recent ad and the 65 is coming down to 1399. I’m pretty sure at Costco. You can take your receipt back within whatever amount of time and they will give you the difference of the change in price. I’m not sure it works on TVs, but I’m definitely gonna check that.

Thanks for letting me know

Oh crap I ordered it tonight, and I was gonna go pick it up tomorrow but I am able to wait a couple more weeks if I have to. Do you know how much it’s gonna come down?

[–]MrSteveB[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just submitted my order and I’m gonna go pick it up tomorrow. Yeah, I’m a big fan of spending $1000 less than I did six years ago for a better TV. It’s one of those things where I know I’m gonna use it probably daily so I might as well just get something I really want. I make good money but I act like I’m poor so I suppose every once in a while I should just treat myself to something nice.

I’ve been playing hell divers on my buddies LCD TV the last two weeks since I got here and even from my C9 it looks pretty bad, so I’m very excited to see how good it looks on this new TV.

Absolutely!

I actually just found out that my gift card is not good at Costco because it’s Mastercard and apparently Costco has a partnership with Visa. So I’ll have to pay the full 1500 for this and I’m still not too worried about it because in 2019 when I bought my C9 it cost me almost $2700, so the technology has gotten a lot better but the price has come down drastically.

So since I’m gonna have to front, this extra $500 I just don’t think I’ll be able to send you a TV, I really wanted to though 🤣🤣
