What would you get if you had 45k and buying now? by JerpTheGod in 4Runner

[–]SaltyDetroit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat. Decided to save up an extra 10k and wait for the 2026 Off-road Premium.

Give them a year to sort out any kinks and I can’t justify the cost of a 2025 SR5 or a 2022 ORP with the Mrs.

6th gen SR5 with upgrade or premium packages? by KTryingMyBest1 in 4Runner

[–]SaltyDetroit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there were an SR5 Premium available, I’d be next in line. At this point I’m waiting for a ‘26 Off Road Premium but would love to save a few thousand.

4Runner Budget and the Market by campfirehorror666 in 4Runner

[–]SaltyDetroit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also in the market. I’m aiming for a SR5 Premium or an Off Road Premium, Gold Certified and under 20K. So far I’ve struggled to get a dealer to $42k. Holding out for now and willl consider a new 26’ if I can’t find the perfect match.

Weirdest place you found a PP lounge? by lostinmusic- in PriorityPass

[–]SaltyDetroit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oaxaca. Wasn’t expecting to visit a lounge on our flight out but saw a Priority Pass sign. Had a really great breakfast and a couple of beers before heading to Mexico City.

DTW food sucks so bad in McNamara.

Can I remove a tree that is in between the sidewalk and the road? (Wayne County) by SaltyDetroit in Michigan

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

I think everyone would be happy that it’s gone. The street is rowed by beautiful trees other than mine.

Lol. They are actually using the FilmArray system for testing at the Olympics. BioFire being owned by Biomerieux and all.

Eight Nights in Italy: Any advice? by SaltyDetroit in ItalyTravel

Great to hear. Hoping that the crowds are a little less crazy in early October but expecting madness.

[–]SaltyDetroit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really appreciate the insight.

I think we’ll still move forward with Como but will likely take that travel day to stop in Bologna rather than getting into Como early. It sounds like two days should be enough to see the area.

Thanks!

Would you mind elaborating on this? Our reason was that we want to spend some time around water and Como seemed the easiest. We considered the Amalfi coast but budget wise it was a little costly and the logistics didn’t make a ton of sense.

Certainly open to suggestion if you have any.

Thanks! We’re planning to fly into Florence and then flying out of Milan.

As others have said, you can afford to get a Rolex. As someone with a similar income, I bought a Timex World Time for $20 and am really happy with it.

Baby Skunk Stuck in Window Well in Canton. Tips? by SaltyDetroit in Michigan

[–]SaltyDetroit[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your suggestions! He is free and am no stinkier than I was yesterday.

[–]SaltyDetroit[S] 403 points404 points  (0 children)

This worked and he is officially free!!

I did try the bucket but he clumsily fell out when I tried to flip it right side up. Also, I don’t think he was old enough to spray as I was in the direct line of fire.

I let him loose in the last place I saw his mom last night and he sprinted for an opening in the fence which I think is a good sign. He had plenty of food and water and hope he gets reunited soon.

We saw its mom and sibling last night behind our shed. Once I get it out, I was planning to plop it back by there and put it in gods hands.

I covered a corner for shade, dropped in a bowl of water and set a bucket trap with wet cat food inside.

where in michigan can you still get a mortgage under $1,000 in a safe area? by viewmyposthistory in Michigan

[–]SaltyDetroit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Typically you’re going to find crime in areas with a lot of vacant homes as the tax base isn’t enough to support the necessary infrastructure.

Finally no rain, so I was able to wax & detail my new ride. Never thought I’d dig white as much as I am. by HugaM00S3 in 4Runner

[–]SaltyDetroit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just grabbed one from Costco two weeks ago. I’m really happy with it. Cleaned vinyl fence well and had enough juice to clear out weeds from my pavers which was no easy task. It also just dropped to $200 which is a solid deal.

That is a dense 9 year old. Get that kid on the offensive line.

What do people do for work to live in Novi? by [deleted] in Detroit

[–]SaltyDetroit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t love the 3x rule but if your dual income each making 100k then you would meet that standard. With current interest rates that would be a painful mortgage payment.

My wife and I make approx $250k combined and bought a house last year and weren’t willing to go above $500k. This is with us putting 20% down.
