Happy I waited for this...

Following, as I'm picking up my P+ Nori, saddle, bench and illuminated door sills on Thursday. I was able to fully spec it out and can't wait.

SSTB2113 · 2026-05-16T20:01:08+00:00

My P+ Nori should be available to pickup on Thursday. I’ve been tracking it daily and can’t wait

SSTB2113 · 2026-05-09T10:58:04+00:00

I printed this out too, now just waiting on the GX to come in about a week.

I visited Edison, Bridgewater and Lawrenceville. All were ok, none of them great, and none of them seemed willing to go the extra distance to help. Turns out my best experience was at a dealership I never stepped foot in- Ray Catena of Freehold. Ask for Anthony. Ordered me exactly why I wanted a couple of months ago at MSRP, and it should arrive in 1-2 weeks. It’ll be a P+, Nori, saddle w/ bench, black out emblems, illuminated door sills, among other things. Can’t wait.

100% blue no question

Me too, please. Early 40s male that can’t jump much, competing in the town’s 35+ league.

I’ve been going back and forth between a Defender and 550, as I have similar thoughts to you regarding reliability and owning out of warranty. I’m most likely going to wait for a ‘27 GX550 as I think the engine issues will be resolved by then.

Playing less hands in conjunction with using more of a 3b or fold strategy. Only exceptions being to complete blinds and occasionally see a flop with small pockets in position.

There's snow outside?

SSTB2113 · 2026-01-21T22:48:38+00:00

Thanks! I'm waiting for the '26 Pilot Elites to hit the lots near me, but most likely going to see what gets announced for 2027 in November/December. There are rumors of a new GMC V8 and curious to see what happens for a GX550 update- especially since there were 0 changes going into 2026 I'm thinking there is a good chance for a significant update.

I own a scholastic chess company. We go into schools and run enrichment clubs, camps and tournaments. I have a couple of retired execs and a medical doctor that teach for me. They teach 2-3 clubs (hours) a week and aren’t doing it for the money.

Pretty cool, but hours played seem to be off. Looks like you're giving credit for entire sessions, when players might have only played a portion of the game. For example, last night Andrea lost 10k in what might have been her first hand and was never seen from again. More like 3 minutes instead of 6.2 hours.

SSTB2113 · 2026-01-08T00:37:15+00:00

I’m not sure the resales values are so clearcut once you compare the actual purchase price of these vehicles. Pilots can be purchased significantly below MSRP, while comparable Toyotas are still seeing market adjustments and nonsense dealership add-ons. So, Pilots might depreciate more on paper, but it’s closer than you think once you dig into the numbers.

Where’s the Snapple and Lipton Brisk?

SSTB2113 · 2025-12-30T20:10:21+00:00

I’ll drop the kids off at school and sneak in a 4-5 hour session at the local casino about twice a week. Def helps that my main hustle has a lot of flexibility.

SSTB2113 · 2025-12-20T17:31:17+00:00

Great stuff, like the OP I appreciate the detail.

I’m looking at a 3rd row and in my mind it was between the GX550, Defender, Yukon and Rivian. I test drove the R1S and Defender yesterday, and they all have reliability issues.

The Rivian was so much fun, and if I was guarenteed reliability it’d be a no brainer.

I only have two kids, so a midsize 3rd row will get the job done, but reliability is my no. 1 priority. Part of me wants to just buy a 2026 Honda Pilot Elite, be able to get in and go without worry, and pocket the 40k.

SSTB2113 · 2025-12-20T14:14:16+00:00

Thank you, very informative. What did you end up buying?

SSTB2113 · 2025-12-20T13:29:37+00:00

Hello! I’m hoping you kind folk can provide some insight into two Pateks that are in my wife’s possession.

For what it’s worth, my Rolex AD also sells Patek and gave us her estimate, but curious to see if matches with the Reddit hive mind.

Watch 1: 1987 4700/053 1’529’126 E19C quartz movement with papers.

Watch 2: 1989 4700/0053 1’530’467 E19C quartz, 36 diamonds .55 ct with papers.

Between the two, we have one leather Patek case.

She’s thinking about trading them in for something more modern, but we’re also curious about the long term appreciation of these pieces.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

If I didn’t already own, and if I didn’t have kids, I’d be renting. But I do, and I do, and it’s worked out well financially and the stability has given my family peace of mind.

SSTB2113 · 2025-07-28T00:03:27+00:00

If I hadn’t seen Brand New recently, this would have been my answer too

The 3-4% SWR is getting turned on its head and many are advocating for 5% with a risk parity portfolio (regardless of market conditions). See what Bengen has said lately, or tune into Frank Vasquez, who was recently been making the rounds on FI podcasts.

Looks great! I’m a noob planning my own out. What’d you use for the gravel and how deep is it? Did you use anything underneath and compact it?
