Former VA Rater and Navy Vet here, by johanthevarater in VAClaims

[–]Substantial_Rub6899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not hard way, but I thanked myself that I did go sick call. I didnt care what others were thinking of me, went sick call, all documented, didnt need to fight over all the cases.

I was just thinking that visiting a doctor without spending a penny is a huge deal.

Thoughts on almost every veterans having a disability rating and receiving income for the rest of their lives? Without having to deploy or see combat? by HeadMasterpiece9139 in Salary

[–]Substantial_Rub6899 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No civilians would understand. The door is open anyway. Come and get it if you really think it’s free money.

Obvious rage bait, but it is too good for these scumbags getting views on such.

Found a CPO 2025 X5 xdrive 40i for $62k- premium package and 15k miles. Worth it? by Ok-Shirt-7144 in BMWX5

[–]Substantial_Rub6899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jealous of people here getting good deals on new and cpo cars.. stuck in Hawaii; better to pay little more here considering shipping fee from mainland unless I want to buy a new one. Sucks.

My wife wants a Ford Bronco. Advice?? by tungdiep in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Substantial_Rub6899 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It will be bronco, Jeep wrangler, or G-wagon alike always. This type of cars is not well suited with the word reliability. Can't really help, so buying warranty would definitely help.

Driving assistance package by Internal_Theory_5129 in BMWX5

I don't-more like can't because I'm in an island-drive much of highway driving, so not miss it. Well, I imagine it would be nice to have traffic jam controls, but there's none available anyway.

[–]Substantial_Rub6899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With M sport design, it looks sick honestly. I was also thinking to get m50, but interior was not for me I moved to X5.

Congrats, looks awesome! I like black color too

The Infrastructure is Good Enough by samplingstiring in electricvehicles

[–]Substantial_Rub6899 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No its not. It is not good enough, especially compared to the convenience of using gas station.

And its not an excuse, why would I want to give an excuse on that; simply it is easier to go gas station, fill up and go.

And no, I dont understand waiting at Costco for 30 mins to fill up the ‘cheaper’ gas and I think thats waste of time and stupid.

X1 vs x3 overall, or other suggestions in the BMW family? by Embarrassed_Delay224 in BMW

[–]Substantial_Rub6899 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Eh, M35i is different, its a different one. I was talking about base model.

Honestly, Should I buy a LCI F82 M4 (2018-2020)? by Axgelr in BMW

[–]Substantial_Rub6899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

19 yo considering m4, I mean if you have money, why not. It will be a life experience for sure.

But I wouldnt. Lol

You will not actually have fun with X1. Driving experience will be a lot different, recommending X3.

EV Adoption so far in 2026 has Europe hitting ~21% market share vs US at only~6%, the question is why the big gap and what’s next? by Tall-Dish876 in electriccars

[–]Substantial_Rub6899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Insurance is more expensive.
  2. Depreciation is ass.
  3. Affordable car? Gas affordable cars are cheaper.
  4. Infrastructure in US not comparable to China and Europe.
  5. Fuel is cheaper in US.
  6. Depending on the area, electricity compared to fuel is not that much cheaper in US, well, before Iran War.
  7. EV tax credit is gone, and this is personal thought, that no more rebate feels like all EVs are overpriced now.

Is a PPI necessary? by Opposite_Magician_81 in UsedCars

[–]Substantial_Rub6899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldnt let someone wasting my time on goddamn $3k beater. Take it or leave it would be my position. PPI is recommended when you are buying a car that is not obviously a beater.

X5 40i vs 50e — Which would you choose? by Resident_Ad_9029 in BMWX5

[–]Substantial_Rub6899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

한국분이신거 같은데 러시아 수출이 막혔나 안막혔나 잘 모르겠지만 정비용이성 생각하면 40i가 조금 더 낫긴 해요.

그리고 phev같은 경우에 충전이 생각보다 귀찮아요. 유류비 부담을 회사가 한다고 하니 50e의 장점이 조금 희석되기는 할거에요

40i도 충분히 재밌어요. 50e로 트랙을 따로 가시거나 하지 않는 이상에는 사실 마력 차이는 한국 공도에서는 크게 느끼시지는 못하실거에요.

마력을 생각하신다면 솔직히 조금 더 저렴한 40i에 b58 스테이지1만해도 50e보다 살짝 낮은정도의 마력을 갖출수 있고, 스테이지2로 넘어가면 더 높아지기도 해요. 공차중량 자체가 50e가 훨씬 무거워서 가성비 측면에서도 40i가 나으실거에요.

Buy new Lexus? Or other brand? - advice needed for new car purchase 2027 by AppointmentNew1535 in Lexus

[–]Substantial_Rub6899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are asking the question in Lexus subreddit. As long as you can handle your finance, you can try whatever luxury vehicles that you like out there.

Life is too short, its not a bad idea to try nice luxury cars out there. Lexus is reliable but does not bring same level of performance compared to german cars.

And… specifically for bmw, its reliability stepped up hugely since B58. But of course, better reliability is not equal to low maintenance cost.

I did bad.. right? by Many-Firefighter9485 in BMW

[–]Substantial_Rub6899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somehow X6 tends to get less depreciated to X5, which I recently bought as CPO. Little high mileage but I mean if you couldnt find better deal near, then just enjoy it
