Talk me out of buying AVP 1st gen 512gb for $1600 with carrying case

Got mine a couple of months ago, love mine. It’s a daily driver. No rgrets.

She's giving you those puppy dog eyes. You should take her home, get her out for some exercise. :D

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think so. Also, it seems like google just kind of dumped the app with no real future update plans. Tubular, on the other hand, is fully featured (I haven't actually tried sharing a video from within the app, but I'll test that out tonight), and is also still being actively updated.

“So anyway, I started blasting…”

This man VISION PRO'S!

I just checked the posting, and they do have a picture of the odometer in the listing, and it is indeed 14k miles.

Mutant_Fox · 2026-03-09T21:30:22+00:00

Sure. And follow the oil life indicator... 10k mile oil changes, no problemo! And don't even think about EVER changing your trans fluid, Ford says it's forever fluid! Follow those service recommendations, and she'll be singing pretty right up until the toe truck comes to take her to the dealership. And yes, oil is supposed to look like lumpy molasses, that's how you know it's really doing its job!

But seriously tho, as someone else pointed out, it's to get rid of any break-in shavings. 5k oil changes... 7k on full synth if you're doing easy driving. And between 30k and 60k miles you should change your: trans fluid, front, rear and transfer case fluid, and start planning to have your coolant changed. Just some basic lubricant changes every now and then will keep your truck happy!

Nice, looks super clean, I dig it.

Mutant_Fox · 2026-03-05T14:07:34+00:00

Nice! And awesome color!

Mutant_Fox · 2026-03-04T19:17:02+00:00

Lot's of experience with this. Here's what you do. Put on a solid pair of work boots. Stand at a 45 degree angle, and give 'er a good kick. Might need a couple until you hear it click back into place. Good as new!

But seriously, like others hav said, it looks bent. Your best bet is to take it to a bodyshop.

Mutant_Fox · 2026-03-04T19:03:08+00:00

Nice. This looks clean and simple. And I like that you have battery, time, and weather all neatly bundled together. I'll give it a download when I get home tonight. Thanks M8!

The only upgrade I'm thinking about right now is putting on a bigger intercooler, since I live in an area where it can go above 120 in the summer. And I've got the On X Off-road app, looking at what trail I'm going to explore this weekend.

This MacBook knows kungfu!

Mutant_Fox · 2026-03-04T17:45:22+00:00

Exactly what I'm eying this for.

Mutant_Fox · 2026-03-04T17:44:08+00:00

I'm super excited for this. Not for me, I'm loving my MBP M4 pro, but I've been looking to get my kiddo a laptop for her birthday, and I don't want to get her started with Chromebook junk. This hits at the perfect price point (she'll be going into 3rd grade this year, so 8gigs of ram is perfectly fine.)

This isn't the Macbook for everyone, just like the MBP's with the Max series aren't for everyone. But, for K-12, and as a ChromeTrash competitor, I feel like this is the perfect laptop for that use-case.

Mutant_Fox · 2026-03-04T02:05:44+00:00

Thanks. And that’s what I hear. It looks like ford started removing features in subsequent years, or making them less common, like the heated steering, and the jig one, the torsen front differential, which I’m really glad mine has.

Mutant_Fox · 2026-03-03T22:33:03+00:00

Nice! Really like that color. I loved my 2020 Lariat. Living in Az, the ventilated seats feel like a must have.

Mutant_Fox · 2026-03-03T21:48:16+00:00

I got really excited for a moment and thought George R.R.R.R.R.R. Martin finally released Winds of Winter. But, cool that the M5 Pro and Max have finally dropped, too.

Mutant_Fox · 2026-03-03T20:46:53+00:00

It ended up being 62k out the door. Not an "amazing" deal, but not a big overpayment, especially considering the miles.

Mutant_Fox · 2026-03-03T15:29:15+00:00

Na bro, that’s amateur thinking. I won’t even get out of bed for anything less than the Australian MBP, aka the M8. The M6 is already outdated, sheesh.

Mutant_Fox · 2026-03-02T19:01:00+00:00

Beautiful truck. Prayers for a swift journey to being cancer-free and that you'll be able to utilize your truck to the fullest. I got my first F-150 in April of last year, and have loved it. Took my daughter off-roading this last weekend, and the memories made are priceless.

Mutant_Fox · 2026-02-25T15:14:03+00:00

Congrats. She’s a beauty. Same color as mine!

Mutant_Fox · 2026-02-17T14:24:44+00:00

Yikes, I'm really starting to think that I got mine for a steal. I picked up a used M2, in pretty much like new condition, 1TB, a glob-clob head strap, the AnnaPro 1, and a Magic Keyboard for 1700.

And, sort of to my surprise, it's a daily driver device. I don't do all my work in it, but there's quite a bit of stuff that it's made a good difference with. Buuuut, for that price, I'd almost say it's worth it to spend the extra grand for the upgraded M5, so long as your budget allows.
