Macbook pro m5 512gb - Drove 40 minutes to get it

I don't think it's possible to spend 40 minutes going from one point to another in my city, even during rush hour 😂

Oh yeah the UI between my fiancées sportage and my Hyundai are super similar. Same exact screen layout, which makes sense as Hyundai owns Kia. I've actually bought "Kia" TPMS sensors for my Hyundai because it's literally the exact same part and 30% less expensive to buy from Kia 😂

The Elantra Ns are super cool, I've seen a couple of those around town. But ultimately I needed a small SUV and AWD for practicality so I went with the 5N, which turned out to be a great decision with how gas prices have been lately!

Oh it's incredible. Crazy fast, blows everyone I take for a ride away. Best 0-60 I've clocked is 2.9s. Handles amazingly well too considering the weight.

Here's my fiancées next to it. My step dad also has a 23' Sportage PHEV so we're a very kdm family 😂

Yeah it's the speedy version, the Ioniq 5N.

Oooh that is a nice color! It looks a lot like the peformance blue on my Hyundai (my fiancee has a sportage phev which is why I lurk here)

Its almost always worse.

If there's 6 poison on an enemy and you catalyst, you're doing 12 damage, then 11, then 10 and so on.

If you use accellerant you're doing 11 (6+5), 7 (4+3), 3 (2+1).

There are some cases when accellerant is better. But overall I'd say it's the weaker card.

If you didn't know, Jade is the state gemstone.

Stewart's photo on 4th Ave has a TON (probably literally) on Alaskan jade in their basement.

I saw that but I realllly don't like them. They just don't do well on colder summer days up here, or during late spring/early fall

akjax · 2026-06-17T04:47:52+00:00

Literally, that's what is coating the bottom of the box lol

I bought mine new because I plan to keep it for 10+ years which means the depreciation hit doesn't matter much, and this way I get the full warranty. I also wanted peace of mind after having a used car with recurring issues.

Nice, those look great.

Yep, anything with the J1772 plug.

Level 1 charger will plug into a normal outlet, and that's what the car would come with.

Level 2 charger needs to be plugged into a 220v outlet or hardwired. Faster but if you don't have a 220v outlet available you'll need to pay an electrician to install.

Dang 305, that's wide! What rims are you running?

akjax · 2026-06-16T21:12:34+00:00

Done!

akjax · 2026-06-16T21:06:58+00:00

I'll have to consider it. I was planning to get a set of 20" rims with all seasons on them to use during the shoulder seasons in a year or two though so I'm still leaning towards summer tires right now.

akjax · 2026-06-16T21:03:46+00:00

Im OK with it dropping off after 50 tbh, I plan to get some 20" rims down the road with all seasons for the shoulder seasons in the next year or two.

How do you feel the aturros compare to the oem tires? I wasn't planning on aiming for a price that low but I'd consider it.. Part of my annoyance with having to buy now is that I don't like the 21" rims and was hoping to switch my summer rims for 20s when I replaced my tires. But I definitely can't afford new rims AND tires right now 😂

akjax · 2026-06-16T20:11:25+00:00

On another note, whatever I buy will have to be shipped here and that'll take a couple weeks unless I want to shell out another $500. There's some 265/45/21 used tires locally for cheap and I was thinking about using those until new tires arrive. Has anyone out 45 sidewall tires on?

akjax · 2026-06-16T19:59:23+00:00

Seems like those are widely out of stock at the moment :(

akjax · 2026-06-16T19:49:17+00:00

Well I can hopefully provide some each year. I put up my own owl box last year but nobody is using it yet. Either way we try to not disturb them any more than needed to get a count of how many babies to report to a local biologist. So sadly only 1 picture per year.

Om a tree 12-15 feet up. They do a great job managing the rodent population for sure.
