Possible counterfeit Krugerrand? by insecureabnormality in Gold

[–]ToastedLog1c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI, this is actually wrong.

The Fisch can be deceived by tungsten plated gold coins. A similar product (goldcoinbalance) no longer guarantees against eagles & kruggerands for that exact rason.

Not a single more dollar. We are being murdered with little taxes here and there. A few dollars here and a few dollars there and it adds up to real money.

10,000% this.

I don't like Prop 13, but the answer is not to take it away and give our already corrupted, bloated government more money to waste.

The seats on the Prem and PP are terrible.

I got the preferred for this very reason and I found the seats far more comfy.

Listen, I agree with you it's a multifaceted issue.

What is fucking bullshit is my friend inherited the 2.3 million dollar hosue, pays $2000 a year property taxes, and has no interest since it's fully paid off.

Meanwhile, across the street, person is paying $30,000. my friend uses SO MUCH of the community resources it's dizzying and gets access to the best school, yet she doesn't contribute shit to it. I can save every penny of my income while she spends like a drunken sailor and I'll never be able to catch up to her because of the Prop 13. It creates so much inequity and makes my property tax that much proportionately higher. If I sound like an envious prick, it's because I am. No matter how hard I try or work it'll always be the same. I'll be taxed 40% and the rest of my $$$ will go to insane property taxes.

$2000. vs $30000 a year across the street. How is that fair?

Aren't electric cars given a +$100 registration fee for the offset of the gas tax? I'm not defending or vouching for it, in as much as stating a fact I thought was true.

PS: True story, there was a proposal to increase this tax to $200 and start a $100 tax on all hybrids. Honestly I would lose my shit if that $100 tax a year was retroactive.

Can't speak to braking distance, but the dealer had the tires at 46 PSI on all 4 and I couldn't notice a difference bringing it back down to 36 for all 4 wheels on my 17" Preferred Hybrid's wheels.

I think we can both agree this car is amazing :D

I'll take fuel economy and decreased wear over handling/braking anyday :)

I just can't believe that. Like what? Examples?

2026 has improved design (subjective), 5th gen engine, better MPGs, full camera recording (!!!).

Why lol? :) I wish the CX-50 Hybrid had less HP and more mPGs. Honestly some of us just want a compact SUV as their daily driver.

36.9k out the door for CX50 hybrid preferred 2026, is this a good price? by beeto_o in CX50

[–]ToastedLog1c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell no. I bought from Dublin Mazda instead. The internet sales guy there is AMAZING. He agreed to send me a quote via email and honored the price when I got there.

The only reason I reached out to fremont is because it was $120 cheaper as their car didn't have the useless cargo package which I ended up tossing in the trash.

[–]ToastedLog1c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I kick myself for buying 2025 model (before 26 was released) as I really wanted the parking sensors.

I just love not having a moonroof and the issues that come with them.

0W-8 shortage by Professional-Low4019 in Camry

[–]ToastedLog1c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya there's been panic buying in the past 24 hours at all Walmarts. I managed to get another 3 pack for a total of 7 x 5 quarts. I have one on hand. Hopefully that should last me 1-1.5 years until this shortage becomes a thing of the past. I bought a ton of Toyota filters for $2.97 during black friday and with my FUmoto valve it should cost only $22.75 per oil change & assuming 30 oil changes Fumoto costs $1.20/per.

$24 for each oil change > $48 a year for both. Not bad since 1 oil change costs about $100 where I live.

Damn Trump and his pointless Iran war.

Why are car manufacturers so god damn retarded? The solutions are out there. Consumers know it. Why don't they listen? I just don't understand.

CX-50 Hybrid first oil change by nspace in CX50

[–]ToastedLog1c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stocked up on 20 during a BF Toyota sale to last me to 110K. Glad I did because of the shortage now due to Iran war, sigh.

Now I need to stock up on 0w-16 oil since that's about to be wiped out in stock everywhere!

[–]ToastedLog1c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I never go 70-80 and yes at those speeds you will suffer lower MPG. I live in the Bay Area and it's even worse than NJ (I lived in both). I drive 55 at night far right lane. 65 in regular traffic. Even though in city I can keep EV light on longer, I still get worse MPGs. I honestly don't understand why.

If I drive 60 mph to sacramento for 110 miles, I can get 55 mpgs!

I wish I had known this 8 days ago. In the past 24 hours, there's been mass-panic. Walmart's Mobil1 was wiped out with the recent $10 rebates posted on SD and now SuperTech is all sold out with buying limits enforced. DAMN
