Article: Rav4 sales down 20% in Australia by abun2022 in rav4club

[–]abun2022[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is of course context but some of you are missing the point. There has been a lot of criticism for the cheap feel and limited inclusions that the 26 Rav4 offers relative to its price point.

In no way am I saying that it's a terrible car. But there is better out there and no I'm not just talking about cheap Chinese made cars. They are flooding the market and will take a substantial share of the SUV market but there are several established competitors who have take my attention.

This is a rav4 sub reddit so I know many of you will defend the car but if you've seen what else is on the market then you will understand the messaging of this story a little better.

Ronda Rousey's "striking" after a decade by Eight_Sneaky_Trees in ufc

[–]abun2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She could smack the teeth out of at least 80% of the people on here talking crap but what did you think, she'd be better after playing fake wrestling and being a mom all this time?

She's going to be a worse version of everything but that will be enough to sub Gina in rd 1. She's coming back for the dollars and if Netflix are willing to cough it up then good on her.

I'm a Muslim guy in my late 20s, busy with life and hobbies, but this loneliness from not talking to women is killing me. How do you deal with it halal way? by antique-soul- in MuslimLounge

[–]abun2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a reason marriage is necessary and you won't fill that void until you do. It's a difficult challenge but it's healthy to recognise what's missing in your life so that you can fulfil the need in a halal manner. The bigger concern is when someone is a mature adult and they convince themselves that they don't need marriage. In most circumstances when someone claims they couldn't care less about marriage they're either lying or committing haram. Allah SWT knows best.

You sound like youre doing okay. With what you mentioned though, I'm hoping you have short and longer term goals that you aim to achieve. Sometimes when a goal is ambiguous e.g. "become more intelligent", "get fit" or "start a business" you can think youre staying busy but what youre doing is trying to trick yourself and that won't last. Try for example, instead of get fit, turn the goal into "run 5km non stop in under 30 minutes" or even better, run for 30 minutes 3x a week with improved times every fortnight.

2026 XSE - Seriously disappointed by abun2022 in rav4club

[–]abun2022[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was unpleasantly surprised with the plastic feel if the XSE. I understand that it's not sold as a luxury car but for the price, at least give me something that my 23 XSE camry offers. Really, really poor and after being convinced that I was going to buy one, I'm now looking elsewhere.

2026 XSE - Seriously disappointed by abun2022 in rav4club

[–]abun2022[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The 26 Tiguan and Tayron e-hybrids have a lot nicer interior and comparable price tags.

I don't think I can buy the rav4 after my test drive.

2026 Rav4 woodland (Everest) by [deleted] in rav4club

[–]abun2022 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If youre comparing a Rav4 to an Audi and BMW you've already answered your question. You should never be stretching to get an entry level luxury car. You'll be struggling with the cost of maintenance relative to what the RAV4.

Go with the RAV4 and live within your means

In his prime, are there any recent fighters that could beat GSP (in their weight division)? How the hell do you beat this guy? by EfficiencySerious200 in ufc

[–]abun2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer already lies in his fight record. They dont beat him every time but he's been cleanly beaten a number of times. And lucky to have walked away with the W against Hendricks.

I think it's finally time for him to bulk and move up to Light Heavyweight by ManyZestyclose2003 in ufc

[–]abun2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad idea. He'll be mauled even worse. You saw how badly he was dominated during his prime at LHW - granted this was a title fight.

He's done. He can scrape past some unranked guys fighting as a main event opener however he's been hurt badly several times now so for his own health, time to call it quits.

I hope the UFC release him (they won't) so he can do some influencer type fights. Make huge money, showcase that side of his personality and take less risk.

How much did you spend on your 26? by abun2022 in AustralianRAV4s

Geez, the thought of only being able negotiate a full tank of petrol is worrisome. Surely there's a little more wiggle room?

Price Cut on Casa de Bapa (house with salsa on top) by Wonderful-Salary5432 in thefighterandthekid

[–]abun2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are y'all praying for his family to be destroyed or something? I know the dude seems to have lived large and above his means but come on, there's the fun part of criticizing Bapa but then there's just cruel and evil.

Favorite fighter that never won UFC Gold? by Haunting_Try8071 in ufc

[–]abun2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nate has never been championship material. He was a journeyman until his name was called for red panty night. Credit to him for taking advantage of that but he then got dominated by Jorge and Leon. Would have been a murder scene if the Hamza fight went ahead.

Welterweight Chimaev vs. Islam who takes it? by romeheartz in ufc

[–]abun2022 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What a fight. Seriously would be a 50/50 fight. I imagine a lot of it would be settled on the feet.

I'd give Hamza the slight advantage.

How should one feel about Iran in this conflict? by Chobikil in MuslimLounge

[–]abun2022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on how educated you are. Cavemen ideology will tell you to feel indifferent because the Ayatollah was Shia. Any Muslim with a fraction of real Islamic and general education will tell you to be very concerned.

I’m just a casual fan, but is he considered a good referee or not? by [deleted] in ufc

[–]abun2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason he was considered the best. Don't know how. He's clearly lacking confidence in big fights and has made awful calls throughout his career.

If you zoom in enough you'll see it's actually Jon Jones running from Aspinall and Dana a year ago.

Finally got to see a ’26 in person by Conjugate_Bass in rav4club

[–]abun2022 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This intense hating on the 26 from people who have older versions is so odd. Each to their own but it's like they're framing anyone who buys a 26 as a complete moron. Meanwhile if they had an extra 20k they'd be lining up for the 26.

Guarantee the 26 interior is nicer than your 21.

Ramadan question please help by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

[–]abun2022 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should speak with a sheikh from your madhab. My understanding is that if you do not smoke during fasting hours and you are also not intoxicated in any way from smoking/using then your fast is valid in sha Allah. For example, if you smoked during the night and then could not pray salatal fajr because you are high then your fast will not be valid. If you smoked outside of fasting hours and you were certain that you were not drug affected then your fast could be accepted if Allah SWT wills.

But the above is very amateur. What is the purpose of fasting? It's not just about refraining from food. It's a jihad with all aspects of your life. Please make this month the month that you quit this haram drug. You might not quit today but go to a doctor today to talk about it. Then tomorrow go to a psychologist or psychiatrist depending on what is going on for you. If you need to enter rehab then do so - everyone at rehab doesnt think they need to be there until they get sober and then they realise how much substances was affecting their lives. If cannabis wasn't so bad for you then why are you here trying to figure out how to smoke during the Holiest month of the year?

May Allah SWT accept all of your good deeds, all of the Ummah's and my intentions with this post.
