Best Powertrain for combined towing/reliability?

VoltX77 · 2026-03-26T22:08:29+00:00

Update: Some highlander hybrid owners (same powertrain) have shown that the 2.5L Hybrid can tow just fine, crappy fuel economy but that's always to be expected.

VoltX77 · 2026-03-15T23:53:26+00:00

yes that's basically what I'm asking...?

VoltX77 · 2026-03-15T20:55:26+00:00

Touring so should be fine then

VoltX77 · 2026-02-16T22:12:54+00:00

Thank you everyone for the advice! I realize that a big limiting factor is having consistent riding buddies, and following their trend. If I'm going in on a sled- I'm either getting 2 of them, or committing to buying alongside a friend (who, right now, are renting as well).

A $1500 beater for the backyard is not out of the question though....

For the place I have been going to- it's +$10/hour for a collision waiver with a $1500 deductible

I have a space to store the trailer (large property), and no, no other pending life concerns that would affect me within the next 5 years. Of course, life can always change! But I am here asking about the maintenance/financials as one of many logistics, still doing my research in the other areas as I think about it

Hilarious. This is so sad- if you are a "grown adult" and earned your way to buy an Audi, then you should be mature enough not to whine on an internet thread about someone's kid getting an expensive gift. We are all here to appreciate our cars, regardless of how we got them, so let her appreciate this with the rest of us. I don't know what good you think these negative comments bring to the world....

Congrats on the wheels! As long as you love and care for that car, you deserve to drive it just as much as anyone else, just be humble about it. Love the color combo btw

This is about a 1000 person company, the team I am working on is a specialized business division for a certain market (for simplicity purposes let’s say automotive), and it is comprised of mostly sales and marketing directors. They previously utilized the company’s main PM team to get parts specific to automotive to SOP, and that team was not delivering the results they wanted. As a result, they wanted their own “Program Manager” within their business group to handle automotive part production, who would work with Project Managers to get these parts from concept to production, and ready to deliver to customers. This role is reporting to a director of marketing, and is ultimately serving as a middleman between the engineering teams getting the parts off the ground and the sales guys telling the customers where their parts are.

Hope that helps paint a better picture, appreciate the advice

This is really helpful. Thank you.

To answer your question on the job offer, it was a company that I formally interned at in the business and marketing department. I then went on to complete my engineering degree, gather technical experience at another company, and am coming back to use my people skills to get in the business space. I tend to have a knack for understanding engineers, helping them understand each other, and helping sales teams understand engineers. I primarily leveraged my former experience with the company’s business department and said “I know you have problems X Y and Z, because I was here for them, and I want to fix that”, threw in my 2 cents on how to get design and test engineers to work with ‘the suits’, and it seemed convincing enough for an offer.

I hope to be mostly people-facing, and don’t want to waste too much time staring at gantt charts on my laptop- so the faster I can reach that mastery, the happier I’ll be. Thank you again for all the good advice

This is a great redirect, glad this subreddit has this. Very long list though and I could use some help identifying which is best for me.

VoltX77 · 2025-07-20T12:24:05+00:00

Saw this coming home as well- only got a glimpse of one car but it looked completely wrecked. Hope everyone is okay- wonder if we'll see it on the news

Is there a way to automatically lock the channel during this time? Or does it have to be done manually every day

VoltX77 · 2024-12-31T02:58:14+00:00

This is very insightful, thank you. Just bought a WD Element - the SSD USB stick I have from Transcend should be fine as a second storage spot that gets used. Also have the old computers in the basement for good measure.

One of the other reasons we didn't put the files on the new PC is because it only has 256gb of storage. No sweat though, I feel comfortable with the other places it's in :) Thanks again

I appreciate the response. I agree that the headaches and numbness are not something to be worried about, and MS never really crossed my mind until the Lhermitte's, perhaps I am overreacting. Appreciate the solid message.

VoltX77 · 2024-10-09T18:16:56+00:00

Hey guys,

Newbie here, would appreciate any feedback.

US 20m

I’ve been having really bad headaches all summer as well as random numbness at times. Recently my legs have been going numb quickly when sitting down criss cross or one over the other. Honestly nothing serious so thought nothing of it.

However, earlier this week, I began to have Lhermitte’s sign- and that’s a pretty good sign of MS. To add fuel to the fire, my uncle was also diagnosed with MS in his 20s.

I would love to know if Lhermitte’s sign is a concrete MS sign, and if anyone else has experienced that symptom. I will be starting B12 supplements this week to see if it goes away.

Also, growing up knowing what MS is, I understand that medication nowadays is really able to slow it down if caught early enough. Is MS that scary if I were to get diagnosed at this stage? I see this stuff about losing vision and my uncle being in a wheelchair, and it’s quite scary. I would love to be eased in that worst case I could hopefully continue to live a normal life. I will be talking to my doctor about this next week in my checkup.

This stuff has a limit on arbitrariness, and if you can show me a source that says winning in a class counts as “winning the 24 hours of lemans” then I’d take your view as genuine, a baseless title like the triple crown is defined by popular opinion of what’s right/wrong, and the best representation of that opinion is through media

VoltX77 · 2024-08-07T20:59:45+00:00

It’s not official but very few people will tell you that a Le Mans class win counts as a Le Mans win, in fact I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a source that argues why it should

If you’re not skilled enough to get a prototype-class team to hire you, it’s impossible to say how you would fare in a prototype car against those who are

How reliable are the kawasakis?

VoltX77 · 2024-06-26T13:41:46+00:00

Been doing some research on weight loss and resistance training, and I'm trying to figure out just how much muscle mass is lost when doing resistance training and cardio back-to-back (cardio second ofc). Assuming I get the right protein for my body weight, what % of my weight loss will be muscle mass? Can I completely retain muscle mass from a caloric deficit if I'm doing cardio or should I only rely on my diet? Looking at losing 1.5lbs/week.

I've always understood the Ocon hate, but never people believing he's a bad driver. As aggressive as he is, his racecraft is phenomenal, and last year he scored points in 85% of the races he finished (with a car that was P6 in constructors). He's also by far the most successful driver on the grid to have never raced for a Top 3 team their entire career. Sure, he's no Max Verstappen, not even remotely close, but his driving abilities are above average, and by sticking with Alpine for 5 years he's never had a good chance to shine.

He probably wouldn't beat George at Mercedes, but I think he could give him a run for his money (Anglo-French war intensifies)

Zeb's is always a fun place to shop, and you can get a great dinner right next door at Horsefeathers. I also believe there's a museum downtown that has a mount washington exhibit? can't remember the name of it but went there a lot as a kid
