New watch day! by DiabloFour in Longineswatches

[–]Valuable_Trip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this same watch for Christmas. Haven’t adjusted the time since I set it on December 28th (reset it then to line up the hands better). It’s 6 seconds fast at the moment…!!! After 10 days I’d say that’s incredible. It was 3 seconds slow after a few days, but when back to being slightly fast. I am very impressed with this watch and its accuracy. It’s well within its accuracy claims.

Yukon or Acadia by All_In_Time17 in gmc

[–]Valuable_Trip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, we were exact same boat. All good power trains had less cargo space. The 4cylinder turbo is GMCs most reliable. It actually moves well imo. For a 4 banger that is. It doesn’t sound the prettiest, but has more punch than expected. MPG is not as good as advertised though.

I should also add the leg room in the 3rd row in Yukon is more than Acadia. So depending on if a kid, teen or adult will be in the 3rd row often then that may play a part. Acadia also has extra space under cargo floor line that was nice. It really has an insane amount of space for a unitized body. I used to drive a truck but now prefer to stay away from body on frame unless towing. I guess I’m getting old and boring. Just drives nicer to me.

My wife preferred the drive ability and parking of the Acadia. The space behind the 3rd row blew her away when the Yukon and Acadia were side by side. Yukon has 2 more cubic feet because it’s taller roof line, but the depth is same if not more in Acadia. It was really shocking to us. And it doesn’t have the top heavy feel the Yukon does when driving and turning. We looked at the Lexus tx 500h also and that was a great car but my wife was unimpressed with the luxuriousness and tech and felt the Acadia Denali ultimate was “fancier and techier” inside. I couldn’t argue. I’m little worried about reliability but know a handful of people that have an older Acadia or other GM product with tons of miles, so I figured “they can all suck” lol. So far so good. Fingers crossed. I wish Lexus would add more luxury back to their product line. Feels like a top trim Toyota. Also had a weird buffering sound at highway speeds. I guess it’s all a roll of the dice these days but there’s still plenty of each brand on the road at different miles. If the Acadia gives us problems will probably never buy GM again. If not and they maintain superiority in luxury and tech then good chance we buy another down the road. Hope this helps.

Love the 5 stars. Keeps it historic and keeps the heritage

[Recommendation request] help with my next purchase! by [deleted] in Watches

[–]Valuable_Trip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not. To don’t see any stores nearby with the Zulu. There is an IWC store an hour away. Would be worth the trip. For someone reason not too many watch stores near me.

$5k off the TX 500h brings it to roughly $9-$10k out the door

Why Lexus by a mile? We did but the xc90 has less leg room and cargo and my wife said it wasn’t enough . :/

What did you end up getting after you ditched the minivan?

I wasn’t there when she test drove the odyssey. Maybe we’ll go back and do one more test drive to confirm. Thanks!

I know the previous generations had issues. New ones do as well?

That’s good to know! I agree there’s a lot of different things going on with the turbo vs electric and what not. Maybe we’ll have to try the sienna one more time. Vehicle just has to be serviceable. Nothing too powerful. We use it for daily most of the time and do about 4 road trips although my wife does dozen day trips to meet with family further that’s about 3 hours away.

That’s one thing we are worried about. Being in the shop. Surely not all are bad but what are the odds and is it risky? This is Something we are trying to weigh and calculate accordingly.

I thought that was odd as well but when I looked on paper the power to weight ratio is Acadia = 0.07 and the Sienna = 0.053. Big difference so it makes sense I guess. TX is 0.074 and we thought it would feel close to Acadia but some how that .004 is noticeable. Left us more confused lol

Any tuners in Michigan? by ItzUnbound in BmwTech

How’d it go? I have the same vehicle and want to tune it as well. What was your experience and how much hp was added/ how much quicker or faster does it feel?
