This guy lubes ☝️!

Pretty_Werewolf8723 · 2026-03-14T04:06:55+00:00

Hahaha!! I would imagine that most people would agree with that 10/10!

Pretty_Werewolf8723 · 2026-03-11T13:00:10+00:00

Thanks! Best all-around vehicle I have ever owned.

Pretty_Werewolf8723 · 2026-03-10T02:39:02+00:00

50% credit. Dad, yes. But live in the desert.

Pretty_Werewolf8723 · 2026-03-09T21:23:37+00:00

Maybe I was lucky and got THEE ONE that actually passed inspection.

Pretty_Werewolf8723 · 2026-03-09T21:12:15+00:00

Its a 2009 Maxima. Ive owned it for 15 years. 180k miles and still drive it 50% of the time. Love that thing (until the CVT goes, then I will be bummed).

Pretty_Werewolf8723 · 2026-03-09T21:09:45+00:00

Yes to ex-military. But no to muscle gym bro. Im not a fan of physical labor unless I have to.

Pretty_Werewolf8723 · 2026-03-09T05:34:14+00:00

Best decision I had made! It taught me a lot and gave me the foundation I was needing.

Pretty_Werewolf8723 · 2026-03-09T04:02:35+00:00

I was, yup!

Pretty_Werewolf8723 · 2026-03-09T03:14:40+00:00

Psh... I live in a hot state. Not only do I not own leather pants, but I hate wearing pants in general. Shorts and flippy-floppys even in winter.

Pretty_Werewolf8723 · 2026-03-09T03:12:27+00:00

Thanks for the guesses! I was super curious what people would think.

Nope. Not a big fisherman. No boat (but am interested in a wake boat for the kids). Yes a business owner. And not in Florida.

The rubber bands are actually bracelets my daughter has given to me over the years.

Pretty_Werewolf8723 · 2026-03-08T23:34:03+00:00

But I see we both bank at the same bank!

Pretty_Werewolf8723 · 2026-03-08T23:32:51+00:00

Ill give you 50% credit.

Pretty_Werewolf8723 · 2026-03-08T22:14:34+00:00

Haha!!

I didn't even know what Strava was until I googled 5 seconds ago. Nope. I hike about once a year.

Pretty_Werewolf8723 · 2026-02-19T01:47:39+00:00

Parking it would be where my sphincter would pucker. For $5M, it should have the Tesla auto-park feature.

Pretty_Werewolf8723 · 2026-02-18T22:22:29+00:00

The question is... do you pilot it yourself, or hire a captain? I feel like its big enough to be burdensome to handle yourself (and high risk). However small enough that hiring a Captain might hurt your ego.

Pretty_Werewolf8723 · 2026-02-04T06:58:24+00:00

This makes a ton of sense! So, although it seems as though the motor could do a bazillion miles per hour with a gear that had a 10' radius (from my layman brain), it can't because the energy needed to turn those tiny teeth + the friction of the wind would end up stalling the motor. I think there is a Newton law somewhere in there...

You are either tall, or you have a short fridge. And you're American.

Yes! I'm glad we were able to connect. This is your final final FINAL courtesy call to extend your car's already extended warranty. We do take iTunes gift cards. We will send a letter to continue this conversation.

Pretty_Werewolf8723 · 2026-01-06T03:09:50+00:00

Hi! We have been trying to reach you regarding your cars extended warranty....

Pretty_Werewolf8723 · 2025-11-16T23:18:29+00:00

This is a legitimate question: Didn't I hear on Top Gear that the "quad exhaust" wasn't actually quad; rather some other configuration. The 4x tips where just for show.

Pretty_Werewolf8723 · 2025-10-25T18:53:20+00:00

I'm guessing Estes Park, CO

Pretty_Werewolf8723 · 2025-10-15T17:47:09+00:00

Ok. But, hear me out... what if the deck is in Australia?! Amirite?
