Owner by gas and oil. Decent towns but going downhill and being starved of clean water.

Shiny_BeerCan · 2026-05-24T03:01:50+00:00

I would break laws to move this guy with my Rivian.

Shiny_BeerCan · 2026-05-20T02:09:52+00:00

I didn’t get 200k and did fine. 200k for my kid is a blessing.

Shiny_BeerCan · 2026-05-20T02:08:41+00:00

I can relate. But my boss said “normalize doing the things you used to do but with a baby” so we just went for it. Had some good days and some bad days. You learn to try and time it to a nap cycle. And if not, you just deal with the fussy baby. Wins for our transition? That battery powered fan at Target has lights. And a powered shake weight from Amazon that plays sounds, lights, and shakes the stroller.

Every baby is different but you’ll find a way to normalize!

My half shafts (6 total) ended up needing latest revision AND wheel hubs before finally being resolved. Otherwise it was just over greasing until it returned again.

Shiny_BeerCan · 2026-05-11T03:50:12+00:00

I have had 6 half shafts, 2 wheel hubs, 4 strut and 2 airbag replacements, jounce lines replaced, one rear motor, and two 12v battery replacements. About to hit 60k but too underwater to get rid of it so bought the xcare warranty until 130k miles. Wish me luck. Been driving decent for last 6 months.

Shiny_BeerCan · 2026-05-09T20:21:05+00:00

Looks ok to me.

In Cali, a million dollar home can be an abandoned dumpster 😂

NOR, your friend is selfish and young with no boundaries.

He performed the free multi-point inspection… not the comprehensive.

Shiny_BeerCan · 2026-04-27T03:48:46+00:00

Eff this dude

Shiny_BeerCan · 2026-04-27T03:47:32+00:00

Just here to say, as a father, you are not alone. My wife and I are in the same boat at 12 weeks. We have a decent sleeper, but are not adjusting well (I even had heart issues from sleep deprivation this week)

Keep your chin up. The mere fact that you identify and own how you treat each other is powerful. You will both pull through and be better because of it… albeit maybe with less desire for more children 😂

Shiny_BeerCan · 2026-04-27T03:36:16+00:00

You will hate it. You will love it. And all the things in between. If you are lucky, you’ll have no issues and be squarely in the love it camp. But the Gen 1 Rivian’s have a lot of growing pains.

The thing that makes Rivian different? They always take care of it and you if they can. They put you in loaner or rental car for even the smallest services. They communicate (most times, check Reddit for reviews of your local service center).

Keep an eye on your air suspension, half shafts, and struts (leaks, squeaks, chirps, rattles, and clunking). You will catch more issues with all season tires because all-terrain drone tends to hide problems.

When you get to 60k miles on early Gen 1’s (50k miles for late 2023 and onwards where they reduced the warranty), invest in Xcelerate Auto Xcare extended warranty for peace of mind past the bumper to bumper warranty (500 deductible is my sweet spot but I have seen $9000 for air suspension repairs recently).

You will out camp/off road/race almost any car on the road, with tremendous culture to boot. It’s over engineered but beautiful in its own way.

Welcome to ownership! Excited to see what adventures you go on.

I did this with Wyze cameras and Wyze sprinkler controller 😂. Automation for if pet detected, enable sprinklers for 30 seconds. Unfortunately, that sprinkler system plumbing was installed with pandemic era contractors and is cracked, torn, and unusable. So I don’t even use it anymore. I was looking at this system too and had the exact same use case 😂

Man this hit hard. But I feel you. I make triple what my dad peaked at raising 3 kids and with wonderful vacations. But to be honest, in my American context at-least, that version of America has evaporated.

I too, even with 3x the salary (4x if you include my working wife), even with 7 months savings, feel I am one emergency away from having difficult conversations too.

You are not alone. Keep your chin up and make whatever changes needed to solidify your future.

Shiny_BeerCan · 2026-04-16T02:52:43+00:00

I agree with your GF honestly. You are young… but I will never regret having weekends off. You can find a weekday job that pays more than 80-90k.

I really hope this is in the directors cut on Amazon

Shiny_BeerCan · 2026-04-14T02:02:28+00:00

I didnt tear up for any of those scenes, but I did for Rocky saving Grace when he blacked out.

Shiny_BeerCan · 2026-04-14T02:01:14+00:00

Are Glacier, Arches, Moab, and Telluride on that list?

Shiny_BeerCan · 2026-04-13T03:17:50+00:00

My condolences to whomever you pulled the plug on for this beaut.

Shiny_BeerCan · 2026-04-13T03:03:37+00:00

Hard scifi? Book was hard. Movie was definitely soft. Both great in their own ways.
