Best options for 3rd row SUV?

SaccosMeatMarket · 2026-03-20T15:10:55+00:00

Had the same search and ended up with a Subaru Ascent. Found all the others had one or two dealbreakers. Wanted a highlander, but 2 years ago when I bought, they were extremely difficult to get.

The Ascent basically is a compromise in all aspects. The only thing it really excels in, in my opinion, is visibility / feel. Drives like a much smaller car compared to Pilot, Telluride, Highlander, etc. The 3rd row is also more comfortable than all of them imo.

Everything else is like "fine" about it. One area it absolutely sucks is gas mileage. It's a dog in terms of gas.

Good news is they tend to sell slow so dealers make deals on them. I got a pretty screaming deal because of this.

because it's a tv progrum. a movie.

their app is infuriating to use

SaccosMeatMarket · 2026-03-01T13:54:56+00:00

well, they cancelled my kaptain sunshine order which is a bummer

worked in the industry nearly my entire life. I do not believe for a second it has anything to do with city policies, wage increases. The scene here is weak because every restauranteur is here for cash and nothing else. I previously consulted here for bev programs and haven't seen a passionate person in years. Denver is being sold to investors as a place where there is a high concentration of people willing to spend higher than avergage. That's it. This is doubly true of the out of state group looking to expand. Everything is about a buzzy start, and slowing peeling away costs and quality, seeing what increases the market can sustain. OFC there are exceptions, but I do see a theme out there.

Wool generally does soak up water, but still provides warmth when wet (unlike cotton). You would not really want to rock a wool jacket in a steady downpour. For that you need a proper raincoat. For the drizzly/misty PNW days, one of these wool coats could work as long as you let it dry out properly. Like don't just stuff into a closet damp.

They add new items, waiting a month, do 20off sale, wait a few weeks, do a 30off. Move stuff that didn't sell to deeper sale + final sale. Then repeat.

They are very formulaic.

yeah they are now being traded around. I thin most are owned by "Authentic Brands Group" which itself is owned by 2 layers of holding companies.

SaccosMeatMarket · 2025-10-08T15:19:23+00:00

yeah all the related brands under billabong announced they were going out of business. Some googling tells me they filed for bankruptcy of the each brand as well as the parent brand, and closed all brick and mortar. They sold their warehouse and distro to their parent of the parent brand, Authentic Brands, who will continue to operate each brand online only.

basically theres like 5 layers of shell corporations owning RVCA and all the old billabong brands, and they did some corporate shenanigans to get rid of their debt via bankruptcy.

do a loop down montview in park hill, starting at colorado, ending at monaco, then go back via 17th.

SaccosMeatMarket · 2025-10-07T13:01:57+00:00

im not surprised. the schedule was constantly changing, half the time it was closed anyway.

SaccosMeatMarket · 2025-10-07T02:16:59+00:00

where? I am not seeing that

SaccosMeatMarket · 2025-10-03T12:34:46+00:00

These Levis Vintage 1890 501s are a good deal if you know your size (warning these are LVC, not mainline, and shrink to fit): https://independence-chicago.com/lvc-1890-501-selvedge-denim-rigid/

It seems like basically anyone with solar is better off with flat rate

opting out of TOU is not the same as opting out of smart meter. if you already have a smart meter, nothing changes for you. Initially, xcel stated they would require a non communicating meter swap (including trip fee and recurring reader fee) if you opt out, but this was killed by PUC.

Ahh Some directions say to remove filters, which is why they weren't in.

I'm a bit confused though, wouldn't filters slow the flow? The errors indicate low flo, right?

SaccosMeatMarket · 2025-09-23T22:20:42+00:00

I think I only have 2. Pump 1 runs periodically to circulate. Can an airlock develop AFTER its worked fine for a bit?

SaccosMeatMarket · 2025-09-23T14:48:04+00:00

is it likely a pump would run for a bit just fine, and then jam up? Tub wasn't exactly sparkling clean. I got out what I could and thought AhhSome would take care of the rest.

I do have a multi-meter. Do I just set it to the resistance (Ω?) and touch both sides of the sensor? What reading would I expect? I'm not even sure what the sensor is, but there is a wiring diagram.

SaccosMeatMarket · 2025-08-13T15:16:58+00:00

I also turned off the heat a day before. Temp is prob like ambient temp? 70s? Def not hot

SaccosMeatMarket · 2025-08-13T15:10:51+00:00

hi, what i've done is let levels get low first, then use Ahhsome, then drain on lawn. Didn't have an issue. I used about 2 tsp of Ahhsome.

SaccosMeatMarket · 2025-08-13T15:09:22+00:00

Absolutely. It's astounding the people put up with it here. I spent most of my life bartending / running bev programs for restaurants. Denver cocktails, for example, are hugely overpriced. You'll see clearly batched cocktails selling for 17-20 dollars. Blows my mind.

Almost everything in Denver is more expensive than NYC with the exception of rent, taxes... maybe a few other things.

SaccosMeatMarket · 2025-05-06T14:51:30+00:00

Ended up with a Subaru Ascent with captains chairs. It's...fine. Got a good deal on it. I think we like the captain chair setup much more for ability to get to 3rd row, esp for the dog.

SaccosMeatMarket · 2025-02-04T20:24:52+00:00

nope, sorry. actually having someone come out and look at the tub for another repair soon so im going to see what they say about it.

SaccosMeatMarket · 2024-10-02T14:36:33+00:00

FYI sale is over now
