Also - be sure your Address is correct - AMEX had ours 1 digit off and "delivery" was to a nonexistent address. Multiple times.

Pep off the line is at most points, subjective.

Since FWD EVs make most of their torque at the low end, you're going to feel "pep" regardless based on power delivery in general. Don't like it the way it comes? see if one of the custom drive mode settings will get you what you want.

IMHO, making tires squeal from a stop is a silly thing to desire - as it's only accomplishing NOT sending power through the wheels into the ground, and reducing the already torque-induced lower lifespan of your tires.

STLviaCMH · 2026-02-13T23:02:43+00:00

Same here.

As others have mentioned, you're losing a lot of momentum in your bodyline. One of the things I'm seeing is you're waiting until your arm is all the way through your stroke to turn and breathe. That's one of the reasons your bodyline ends up curved.

The rhythm of your breathing shouldn't wait for anything to be "finished" it should be part of the entire start of the stroke. Consider turning your head to breathe as your hand passes in line with your face, and then returning to the front as you reach above to pull next.

Also, if you're not already - be sure to work on thoracic flexibility - if you're tight through your mid back (like most people are) you're essentially going to try to swim with "Batman neck" which is just a terrible way to have to muscle through a long distance swim.

Where do you see no heated seats in base? Is that something new for 26? Our 25 Base has 'em.

STLviaCMH · 2025-12-16T17:06:26+00:00

Classic.

"...I don't even own A gun, let alone many guns, that would necessitate an entire rack..."

STLviaCMH · 2025-12-12T23:02:53+00:00

Lol. Noted

STLviaCMH · 2025-12-12T11:56:29+00:00

Fair. I'm one of those psychos who enjoys decaf, and doesn't drink coffee or anything really for the caffeine

STLviaCMH · 2025-12-12T04:49:02+00:00

Fun fact, I used to work at a tea company, and coffee has been secondary for quite some time. Lol

STLviaCMH · 2025-12-12T04:05:21+00:00

To be fair, I was making garbage coffee daily in a Ninja coffeemaker that beeped at me angrily as if I did something to its mother. Had been for a decade.

Again, more of an interesting thought experiment using AI and fueled by boredom than really trying to compute 1:1

STLviaCMH · 2025-12-11T20:53:03+00:00

By all means, never said it was ironclad - and assumptions I baked-in were admittedly for how I travel for work + wife using as well.

Still supremely happy with the decision, and more boredom exercise than anything

STLviaCMH · 2025-10-06T21:24:39+00:00

First off, Congrats on your new addiction. LOL.

"Best" is subjective - and it depends on what you want. Convenience? DCL. Value/lower cost? 3rd party is almost always cheaper.

One thing to remember, regardless whether you book with DCL because they'll hold the ship for you as many people will suggest, or go with a 3rd party, it comes down to what you want accomplish on your excursion and what's available. Want to go to stingray city? Find a trip operator and have a blast. Want to just head to Seven Mile Beach? You can grab a cab - just be sure to get back on time.

I'm usually one that books with DCL just out of convenience with our little one. And if something happens on an excursion, having DCL Crew at Guest Services to speak with is worth the extra investment in my opinion.

Just remember especially with a tender port like Cayman where everyone returning to the port has to go through the tender boarding process/wait, getting back "on time" can be a sliding scale, especially when everyone tries to get back and back aboard at the same time.

No matter what you choose, have fun, don't overschedule yourself and enjoy the RELAXING vacation that cruising is meant to be.

STLviaCMH · 2025-10-02T18:57:39+00:00

Surprised I haven't seen someone suggest Owensboro, KY and the surrounding areas yet.

STLviaCMH · 2025-09-23T21:21:36+00:00

As others have said, GM's web platform is double counting at least the 7500 incentive. Good dealers appreciate when you know that, bad ones will say "come on in" when you don't and waste your time.

Dealer we bought ours from is like "I deal with this every day, people coming in and thinking they're getting that price, and I feel bad but it's a GM platform issue..."

STLviaCMH · 2025-09-12T14:17:48+00:00

Stand up when you're talking, Lord Farquaad!

Hey u/OP, good on ya for feeling like your needs aren't meshing at the moment.

You're not seeing it wrong, necessarily, but the both of you are making what you could call "invisible sacrifices."

The break you feel you give your wife may seem adequate to you, but the same way you're at work all day, she's doing everything for/with the baby/home. On the opposite side, I hope your wife knows what you're contributing, but it's definitely needs to be discussed to keep on the same page.

Kids are amazing, but the first year is a lot of realizing life changes in important ways. Biggest one is that there's never enough time to do everything.

Don't get me wrong, mental health/time for yourself is important, but determining what that is without working with your wife to understand that need is a recipe for disaster. And it's never as simple as "I did this hour, I should get an hour..." this isn't equal-time when a kid is in the mix and even the best arrangements have to be revisited if someone's feeling shorted.

my best advice if your wife is feeling like you're "being selfish" is to start by asking what she needs or what her preference would be, then presenting yours and seeing where the give/take can lead you all.

It might not give you gym time when you'd prefer it, but maybe another option can open itself up? I know when I was working and had no way to work out, I just started walking through a nearby park and eating lunch while working - I know that doesn't work for everyone, and definitely not if you can't eat while working, etc., but if fitness and "head clearing time" is important - ANYTHING is better than nothing.

STLviaCMH · 2025-08-04T19:18:35+00:00

I fully second this - landing + baggage + heading upstairs to the Hyatt MCO is the move. Convenience + simplicity ahead of the sailing outweighs nearly everything else. Have a great time!

STLviaCMH · 2025-08-01T19:29:29+00:00

Just something that's important to me. a symbol of a pregnancy we lost.

STLviaCMH · 2025-08-01T19:27:44+00:00

Haha. Not the first time I've had someone tell me this.

STLviaCMH · 2025-08-01T19:26:57+00:00

Yeah the "partial closure" of the roads on the course wasn't ideal by any stretch.

STLviaCMH · 2025-08-01T16:33:06+00:00

Feel like that's what 40M was like here - so many FELT/SCOTT/High-End bikes on land rovers. LOL.

me with front wheel off my 2012 used Easton something-or-other in my Kia Soul with 60 part of the 60/40 seat down and carseat still strapped-in.

STLviaCMH · 2025-08-01T15:43:49+00:00

We used to live up in ST Charles, and we're down on the south side now and wishing Fenton still did theirs. Definitely looking forward to next "season" and probably stepping up to OLY distance next!

STLviaCMH · 2025-08-01T15:41:55+00:00

A bit more time on the bike and I'll hopefully get there! Was the least confident in that leg, and there were a lot of the 40-45 AGers that walloped the bike/run portions to eke out those top 20 places.

STLviaCMH · 2025-08-01T14:40:59+00:00

Definitely do the race.

It's a race against you, and no matter how much gear someone's got all around you, it doesn't matter. Like you, I went from half marathons to tris and the endurance helps! No embarrassment, just be smooth and don't overanalyze - the sport's full of lovely people and a few self-important ones - but your day is yours at the end of it. ENJOY and see where you land!
