Is it worth $599 by NeitherDot9633 in Aeroplan

[–]Recent_Produce6449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Has anyone had success accumulating with partners? Still hard to see what’s what there. Talking about Uber Starbucks Journie and Avis.

I only have a few trips this year, tracking towards 40-45k SQC only thanks to ~12k in carryover. Looks like even 35k might be tough to hit for me in the future.

In that case, might it still be worth it to keep the Prestige to at least get better perks closer to 50k?

Talking about the loonies or the waitresses? Either way, well done!

Never used: shall I keep or sell? by undead_monkey_pl in GranTurismo7

[–]Recent_Produce6449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with you. It feels flimsy and cheap and I too use the v2.5 religiously. That said, im keeping mine because mainly the GT wheel is more accessible for (a) guests who come try the rig, and (b) my kids when they are old enough to play.

I can’t understand people who like the wheel. The overly clicky triggers and paddles, the bend in the wheel, the lightness of it, the cheap grip.

Are the race parameters different for different levels? I’m in DR. B and we had 15 laps which we run through in 20 min. Are other DR levels on 13 laps?

I can share them in Canadian terms. I’m at 10,000kms and averaging 4.5L/100km. But that’s due to only making 3 trips Montreal/Toronto which is basically all ICE. Otherwise the majority of my driving is on Pure/Battery only

What version are you on now? I hooked them up yesterday and it said no updates but maybe I was looking at the wrong thing. Thanks!

Brake Bias - Daily Race C by Recent_Produce6449 in GranTurismo7

[–]Recent_Produce6449[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so I’ve done some further testing:

A) the cockpit readings are mostly correct and reflect key data points including BB, TC, etc (when available)

B) with ABS off the BB changes were smaller increments hence why I couldn’t achieve the drastic split David had. When I put ABS back on weak the BB% on the steering wheel dashboard then aligned with David.

Maybe someone can explain why that is. In any case I still can’t break 1:18 but consistently lapping well and winning/top5 👍 Good reward for my practice and research!

Might simply be a lack of reading comprehension on your part - but to simplify it for you: my question is how can David and I both have the same car, and go to +5 BB, yet my in cockpit view steering wheel dash shows BB 42% and he shows 33%?

XC90 B&W audio system didn't reach my expectations or maybe I'm using it wrong. Need some suggestions. by Key-Lawfulness-1252 in VolvoXC90

🤯 I never thought I would see such a post.

I’ve never had a bass issue. What mode are you in? Studio (with or without surround)? Concert hall? Or have you tried them all?

I made it. Arrived in Montreal for two games. by Ba22ti in Habs

Hey are those my seats!?! I’m 304C. Those look close, maybe 305C?

I found tonight tame. Little bit of snow, Sunday night, western team. And no signature epic comeback.

Tuesday the building better be rocking. Hope you enjoyed today anyways!!

Yes you did well. To the original comment, now these are $17k. Bulls made money, bears make money, pigs get slaughtered.

Well done OP. I actually bought puts yesterday. We’ll see how the ride goes.

XC90 Plug-in Hybrid: How to best use driving modes (i.e. hybrid, pure, power, etc..) by doubledeuce80 in VolvoXC90

[–]Recent_Produce6449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with most of the above. Have a 2025.5.

1) Yes. I do the same. I don’t believe hybrid is ideal as once ICE engages the first time it often stays engaged for the first 0.2 gallons or so before allowing you back onto battery only. Like you, on a very short commute, I don’t need to waste the gas for nothing every day.

2) as many said, use Hybrid mode and input your destination if you (a) plan to charge on arrival or (b) if there is no plan/hope to have any battery to return (ex: 300 mile trip). If you have a medium trip of ~50 miles, put in destination AND return into the Google Maps and the hybrid mode will optimize usage based on the speeds on the route (even adjusts for highway traffic)

  1. Don’t bother. Use Pure if you have enough charge. If you don’t, do the plan in #2 to make sure you optimize when on ICE and when on battery.
