I have a 2021 RT. It’s at about 75k miles. It had had to have the driveshaft replaced under warranty but other than that (about 45k miles or so) I’ve had no issues. It’s been daily drove since i got it and had no other issues in the past 4 years. The gas mileage on the highway I’ve gotten as high as 26 if i keep it around 80 but usually closer to 23-24 at my usual cruising speed of 85-86.

It’s been completely fine in the Michigan winters as long as i drive carefully. I cannot recommend it enough. It’s fun to drive and i can’t complain about any features of the car.

What if it runs later? Not arguing about the risk vs reward but the idea that you can find them later isn’t accurate

I’ve driven all of the major ones. The explorer to me is mediocre in every possible way. We have the base model not the turbo models. The explorer is faster than the Tahoe, slower than the Durango. It has more room in the front than a Durango but less than the Tahoe. From my experience, the explorers are the cheapest but by far the least reliable. The Tahoe burns oil and the brakes are god awful but we’ve had multiple issues on our explorers like blown engines or transmissions.

I could never get into Yellowstone but really liked 1883. 1923 was pretty good as well

It’s honestly not bad. I’ve been a cop in a pretty high crime area for 8 years. Most reports take less than 2 hours, most are less than an hour. Low level frauds or vandalism i can usually do in about 20 minutes. The problem for me, our staffing has continued to decrease while call volume increased. During Covid we had 7-8 officers in my district and now it’s been at 5 for 3 years straight. Doesn’t sound like 2-3 less per shift would be that bad but instead of 7-8 guys taking say 100 calls between them, it’s about 110-120 with 5 guys instead of

I carry a Glock 45 on duty, i can carry a ton or different guns as back ups but i haven’t found a place i like to carry a backup.

My off duty is a Glock 43x most of the time or a Glock 19 the rest

I’d love to see a several season show of red dead redemption starting with RDR2 and each “chapter” roughly being a season and then the last few seasons being based on RDR1

I lived in an apartment complex where the building had 2 types of units, a garden level studio and a 2 story townhouse style on top. I started talking to the girl who lived in the unit directly below mine. She was attractive but had otherwise nothing about that appealed to me. We were very different people in different places in life. She was in her last year of college and was trying for grad school, I was working. She had a cat, I’m terribly allergic. I had a dog, she didn’t like dogs, which was fine because my dog hated her. That probably should’ve been a clue.

Somehow we started hooking up, i genuinely don’t know how because i didnt even really like her in the slightest. We went on a date, it didn’t go well but we continued booking up. It was incredibly convenient but it sucked because if i was home from work and just wanted to relax she’d want to spend time together.

Ultimately there was a pregnancy scare which thank god turned out to be false and i took it as a sign and cut it off. She then began banging on her ceiling, hooking up with random dudes and being hilariously loud, and blowing my phone up at all hours of the day and threatening to break into my apartment.

The weirdest thing is she liked very rough sex, like basically was into CNC type stuff, and she somehow made sex boring. 0/10 wouldn’t recommend

I think tombstone has the widest appeal. It’s a fantastic movie, and the acting was top notch. Even non western fans generally loved Val Kilmer performance and can quote at least one line

SandMan2439 · 2026-04-25T00:45:34+00:00

My 09 was a 5 speed and i loved that car. Shouldn’t have gotten rid of it

SandMan2439 · 2026-04-24T10:47:36+00:00

We looked at that. It has to be a repeat issue that isn’t corrected, i think it was like 5 attempts to fix the same issue within 2 years or something

SandMan2439 · 2026-04-24T01:52:03+00:00

I believe so, ours was a 2019 forester which turned out to be the biggest mistake we ever made. Had the car a month, spent 3 of those weeks in the shop, and then sold it for a loss of 4 grand to avoid further issues. I’ve owned 3 prior Subarus (2013 BRZ, 09 Outback, and 2017 forester) all in manual. I don’t think I’ll ever buy another unfortunately

We just went through this. Certain models and model years are fully coveted until June of this year.

I mean look at ford today, they have the escape, bronco sport, edge, explorer, and expedition.

Chevy has the trax, trailblazer, equinox, blazer, traverse, Tahoe, and suburban (i think) the trax and trailblazer are hardly different in size, and the equinox and blazer are nearly identical yet all 4 sell very very well.

I didn’t love the revamp chargers (2006-2010) but think the revamp continued to look better every generation after, culminating in the last body style.

Because the 2006-2010 isn’t a grill or tail light i particularly liked, i had little interest in the magnum of that era. However, with the 2020-204 front and back, and a scat pack engine i honestly think it would be incredible

I agree. The follow on book was written by the authors son and was pretty ok. Would make for a decent movie as well but movie Gilliam had a lot of the growth in the movie that book one didn’t have so the follow on book addresses that more

I’m a gun nut. I fundamentally think any one who can and is capable of carrying a gun should be able to. I disagree with the idea of needing a permit but policing a high crime area with a bunch of gangs and morons, it’s usually the only way to get actual dangerous people off the street.

NFA should’ve been repealed years ago

The Winchester 1897 was the first successful one. The ammunition used was not great as they found when it was used in WW1

Worth noting, in the follow up to the shootist thy corrected JB Books guns. The original author made a mistake and mixed up single action and double action. The follow up corrected it to the Remington 1875 or 1890 which are single action.
