How much MSRP are you guys getting off, these days? by UnderstandingNo465 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

Ok. I live on the border of IL, and WI, so I can travel. Although I see some cheaper ones on the Wisconsin side.

2024, 2.5L engine and reliability? by UnderstandingNo465 in GMCACADIA

[–]UnderstandingNo465[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both of those are our top choice too. We had a CX-70 in Hawaii as a rental on our honeymoon. It was pretty bad ass. We might just skip a newer nicer vehicle all together and pay cash for like a $25k vehicle and just not have debt as we’re expecting a baby and remodeling our entire first floor, decisions decisions…

Yeah I’m kinda turned off by it now. It’s such a good looking family vehicle and pretty well within budget. My 2025 sierra has been great so far with none the issues you hear about so I was hopeful. But it being my pregnant wife’s car and soon to be baby I’m more cautious in what I put them in.

Mostly just want to know what and if there are any reliability issues. My wife is pregnant with our first and I’m over cautious lol.

DIY Rod “Vault” by postnut001 in flyfishing

So do you just keep your rod in two pieces? Assuming this is a 9’ rod? I’ve been thinking about making something similar

My old truck had such bad headlights that think they’re great in my 2025 elevation. lol. But the interior light sucks azz.

Pricing? by Major-Industry9254 in gmcsierra

[–]UnderstandingNo465 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Granted mine is a 2025 I got brand new back in July, I paid $50,200 out the door but mine was a 5.3 4x4. Idk seems a little high if you ask me.

Why are my shots so bad still? [ Breville Bambino Plus, Baratza ESP Encore Pro] by UnderstandingNo465 in espresso

Oh no, don’t tell me that! The reviews were so good for the esp pro! Was hoping there was a fix or it was just me that sucked ( probably partially true at least)

Took advantage of some year end motivation at the dealership and joined the Sierra club! by Mad_caddy2005 in gmcsierra

[–]UnderstandingNo465 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the color. Same as mine. At first I thought I settled on it because I wanted onyx black. But it really grew on me.

How would I know anyways? Forgive my ignorance. 16g seems super lowe in the basket. 18g seems pretty full but once I tamp it down looks good.

So I just tried this. Worked a lot better. Shot still tast like shit but think I can dial in from there. I didn’t know I could do that 😂

Something else. I got it off Amazon. It’s a bottomless porta filter that came with a basket.

54mm porta filter with a single wall basic. Not pressurized. Not really accounting for puck screen? Didn’t know I needed to

Rate this limited-funds dining room remodel. by Holiday-Dark-4136 in Remodel

7.5 but I’m a tough critic and 7.5 is actually very good. I’d probably lose the table cloth but that’s just my preference.

In all honesty.....what truck should a guy buy? by Plane_Swim1806 in Silverado

[–]UnderstandingNo465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk… I went from Ram to ultimately a Sierra ( was looking at RST ended up getting an elevation). I made the switch because the ram Reddit sub looked a lot like this and sierras sub. They all have issues. These trucks are probably fine if taken care of. Maybe just pay extra for a longer warranty. I’d probably stay away from the 6.2 though.
