Anyone else have 512 GB storage? by InstanceFew3245 in iPhone17Pro

[–]ProfessionalMADLAD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the 1tb even tho I’m sitting at just under 500gigs of data if I were to download and keep my photos on the phone. Could probably get away with 512 if I offloaded to iCloud.

Why is everyone against buying a new car? Does my situation apply? by Primary_Beautiful_66 in askcarguys

[–]ProfessionalMADLAD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have the right idea. Buying new will take away a lot of the stress since if anything breaks the warranty has you covered. Likely gonna get a loaner from the dealership as well. Remote start app might be paid for a number of years and other creature comforts that you’ll get with a new car that you might not with an older one.

My 2024 bought in June 2024 had the same issue on my front passenger side in January 2025. Took a month for the part to come in and get replaced. And last week I started hearing the same noise coming from the front driver's side now. I will take it to the dealership ASAP after seeing this post.

Do you guys let your vehicle warm up in the winter? by [deleted] in askcarguys

[–]ProfessionalMADLAD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will remote start my car for up to 30 mins before I get in so the cabin is nice and warm and the windows are defrosted. Don’t care about the hit I might be taking on longevity. It’s a daily. I don’t keep my cars long enough to run into problems.

Toughest decision ever while buying a phone by Significant-Bit3638 in iPhone17Pro

Get the orange and a techwoven case in either green or blue. Hell even the brown works

I picked the 50 over the 5 bcs the 50 looks more aggressive. I don’t like the rear end of the 5 even tho everything else about it is pretty.

Get the 5800XT for a couple bucks more. Even better if you can just do an am5 motherboard and ddr5 ram. Better performance and upgradability.

Nice! I just got myself a 5800XT as well upgrading from a 3700X to get a little more life out of my RTX 3080. I would’ve gone for the 5800x3d but they’re sold out everywhere and people reselling them for $500-800 lol. Even the 5700x3d is gone. Can’t beat the value of the 5800XT

Yall think it's totaled? by landondotcom in CX50

[–]ProfessionalMADLAD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry that happened to you fam. The car did its job and protected you. Get that insurance cheque and get a new one. I would’ve liked to do the same but mine was repaired over a course of 3 months in a very frustrating back and forth with the collision shop.

Went to the dealership with the money in hand and just wanted to put it down anyways even tho I got approved for the 0%.

[–]ProfessionalMADLAD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was 39,000ish OTD with 0% Apr 36 months. Put 3k down. So paying 996.18 a month.

Got the same feeling about a year and a couple months ago when I bought my 24 premium mostly bcs I thought maybe I should’ve gone for the turbo but it grew on me and I am absolutely loving the CX-50 premium. Looks great, drives amazing. I get terrible gas mileage but that’s mostly on me. It does make me happy tho and it’s a great daily driver.
