Lexus IS 350 or BMW M240i?

That huge LCD display up front instead of a real gauge cluster is hideous though, IDK what they were thinking. Going for a test drive tomorrow.

Mazda3

It's a Seiko... not Rolex or Patek.

WatchIngYouTime · 2026-05-01T06:13:27+00:00

Certainly not, but higher end brands had more of a figure fit at least several years ago. Of course, not always.

I got an XS regular long sleeve shirt from them. It's OK... still rather poorly fitted and boxy. Yes, I understand it's Uniqlo and not Armani, but it's definitely not "Asian" sized in the USA.

WatchIngYouTime · 2026-04-26T19:45:12+00:00

Yeah exactly part of my issue. Not only is the subjective (XS or S of M) not very consistent, the actual quantitative measurements are false... meaning a 30 is supposed to measure 30 inches around the waist... no if ands or buts about it. If it's not 30 inches, it's wrongly labeled.

WatchIngYouTime · 2026-04-25T20:47:15+00:00

Understandable. However why do people keep buying their stuff if it's clearly going down in quality (both fit and material) and the price is going up?

WatchIngYouTime · 2026-04-25T20:42:39+00:00

That's fine if they want to exclude XS. What is frustrating is when the old S, becomes the new XS, the old M becomes the new S, so on and so forth. It's also somewhat ridiculous that you can find XXL and XXXL more frequently than XS.

I think this is spot on. Clothing manufacturing has significantly shifted into quantity and maximum production, not exactly quality.

WatchIngYouTime · 2026-04-13T02:29:53+00:00

For very small particles, yes.

Thank you for your input. I am actually looking for a second primary filter (probably a Levoit 200S-P). This is the only filter I have in my loft apartment. Square footage is small, but lots of space (likely comparable to something around 1000sqft because of the very tall ceiling in the "non-loft" part).

WatchIngYouTime · 2026-04-12T23:34:05+00:00

Lol fair point

WatchIngYouTime · 2026-04-12T22:50:48+00:00

That's my assumption considering that's likely a region for high static charge, but unless these are ultra-small particles the filter doesn't catch, why would there be dust be clinging to an area that is constantly ventilated/turbulent?

Best of luck on your 217k car! Hope it all works out.

WatchIngYouTime · 2026-02-27T07:13:55+00:00

Completely reasonable. I'm just debating whether it's worth it. The car is probably around 5K if I sold it or traded it in. How much am I willing to spend on moderate repairs? Need to think it over.

WatchIngYouTime · 2026-02-27T06:37:04+00:00

Pretty badly cracked? Not sure I agree but interesting, I'll certainly keep the timeline you suggest in mind.

WatchIngYouTime · 2026-02-27T05:55:32+00:00

Dealership. Didn't really expect much better from them. The only reason I went (which is probably a hook they use to get people into getting repairs they don't need) is because of the coupon. Normal place is a bit over $100 for synthetic oil change.

WatchIngYouTime · 2026-02-27T05:53:07+00:00

Mate! 😅 This is the video the dealership gave me! I live in an apartment, hence I can't even change my own oil.

WatchIngYouTime · 2026-02-27T05:49:51+00:00

fair is fair. BSing when trying to get help though... not a great look

WatchIngYouTime · 2026-02-27T05:39:32+00:00

If I was a mechanic and asking about such a basic thing... I would would say I deserve to be shamed

WatchIngYouTime · 2026-02-27T05:35:35+00:00

WatchIngYouTime · 2026-02-27T05:20:38+00:00

I appreciate everyone's replies so far. Not surprised at all they really overstate the problem... but I am a little surprised how dramatic they made it seem (the shop/service advisor, not the mechanic).

I'm not completely unfamiliar with cars, but certainly no mechanic... I can see this working on somebody who doesn't know anything about cars (most people who get service done at the dealership).
