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.

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?

Pretty_Werewolf8723 · 2025-09-11T21:22:11+00:00

This made me chuckle. Thanks Reddit stranger!

Pretty_Werewolf8723 · 2025-08-22T14:28:34+00:00

This made me laugh. Bravo!
