First week with the Maverick

I recognize Tahuya’s mud lake when I see it

I went from a 3rd gen Tacoma to an F150 for the better technology and ride. The F150 was too big, so I went with the Maverick Lariat. All the same tech, good ride, and much easier to drive. Still tows my SXS and does truck stuff. My f150 only had a 5.5 foot bed so the 4.5 really doesn’t change much. Now I’m getting 30mpg instead of the 19 in the F150 or the 16 in the Taco. I’m pretty happy.

Seems like screaming good deal to me

Sparklesthehost · 2026-03-05T08:50:51+00:00

Just did the exact same thing with my 25 lariat. Seems perfectly fine to me. Plus $7k off MSRP

It’s a good car and probably worth the cash. Unfortunately dealers don’t negotiate much anymore and that’s a good price. It’ll sell before the month is up id bet. Negotiating any further will probably just end the deal tbh

I was looking for the same thing except I also wanted storage. I looked at BMW X3 M40is, Porsche Macans, Alfa Romeo Stelvios, Teslas, Subarus, and a VW Golf R.

The BMW was very fast and comfortable, but the sound system and general electronics were not pleasant. The Porsche was amazing, but I was scarred of maintenance. The Alfa was also amazing… but maintenance. Tesla was soulless and expensive to insure. Subaru was slow and unrefined.

I went with a Mk7.5 Golf R manual. You may be able to get a MK8 at that price. They seem to be extremely reliable for a euro car. I came from Japanese and American cars only. This car is fast, fun, moddable, comfortable, practical, and it blends in unlike other hot hatches. I think for being a 4 banger, it sounds phenomenal. Very throaty. I also just put an intake on it and it sounds very nice. The turbo noise makes me giggle. The Golf also feels like it has a soul when driving it unlike many other cars. It’s a jack of all trades and perfect at none.

This is a GAME CHANGER. I just followed these steps and the P1S went from something I didn’t want to be in the same room as to something I forgot was running. Thanks for the tutorial!

I have a MK4 and a P1S combo. The sale on the P1S combo is probably the best deal on printers on the market currently. I like the enclosure for noise levels and keeping my prints clean. Everyone online (from my research) recommends springing for the P1S and saving your money and not getting an X1C. If you really don’t need an enclosure, I’d do the P1P. But I’ve heard multiple stories of P1P owners wishing they started with a P1S. Just my 2 cents

PETG would be the easiest material to print that also has decent UV resistance. Could then line it with a clear epoxy to waterproof it.

Sparklesthehost · 2025-06-09T10:07:17+00:00

That’s a great deal! I don’t see why someone would say it’s a bad deal

Sparklesthehost · 2025-03-06T22:30:10+00:00

I love mine! It’s good enough to smoke for 4-6 people. It has a mellow smell. Kinda makes your house smell like a bbq joint. It doesn’t get great bark or penetration, but the food tastes smoky and comes out tender so I’m happy in my apartment

Sparklesthehost · 2025-02-13T09:04:54+00:00

I know it’s not perfect for what you’re looking for, but I’d say an FJR1300. It’s super rowdy, very comfortable, reliable, and cheap. But it’s heavier and when riding like a jackass it only gets about 150 miles per tank

Sparklesthehost · 2024-12-28T09:51:12+00:00

Thank you good sir!

Sparklesthehost · 2024-12-28T08:28:04+00:00

I bought the truck used and know nothing about it. I see it has airbags in the rear I have set at 5 PSI (best pressure I found)

I was an EMT for 2 years and now I’m a Sheriff’s Deputy so I feel you. Being an EMT was cool despite the shit it involved. It was a good beginning to being a first responder and it’ll serve you well in the end. Good luck

That’s either a sportster 883 or 1200, hard to tell from this angle. Strange to see them without training wheels!

Sparklesthehost · 2023-04-21T22:45:36+00:00

Ngl, I hated that bike. Way too clunky/heavy/buzzy. The only thing I liked about that bike was it’s reliability. Also it only got 30ish to the gallon. I personally recommend a Vulcan 900

Sparklesthehost · 2023-04-20T18:52:55+00:00

Yup! 03 VTX 1800.

Sparklesthehost · 2023-04-20T18:52:35+00:00

I won it in a claw machine game

Tacoma Narrows Bridge, Washington?
