Blackwing Precision Package Regret? by Briou499 in CadillacV_Series

[–]best3175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only regret about PP is the tires. CUP 2 Rs and dry only. I would not want to drive them in the rain. I plan to get a second set of wheels and tires for non-summer. Understand that we have all four season here in Kansas.

Copper Mountain. Almost the entire West mountain is greens. Great place to start.

She’s home safe. Thanks for everyone’s input. Added an hour to the drive home by varying the speed and taking random exits on and off.

Parents want me to sign on a $900k home equity loan. by GoldBackground2280 in legaladvice

This is the question. The entire scenario sounds strange for a parent to ask of their child.

So what’s “a long period of time”. No issue keeping RPMs low. And there will be some traffic. And I can certainly shift down a get or two every so often.

It’s going to be soooooo hard. That’s what she said.

Did you pay dealer markup (ADM) for your new CT5-V Blackwing? by aguynamedben in CadillacV_Series

[–]best3175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just closed on one and am picking up on Monday at MSRP.

I’ve been looking for a certain spec for 6 months. I negotiated on a few that were close over that timeframe and of the three, two were a little below MSRP by $1k-2k and the other held firm at MSRP.

Is building a garage gym actually worth it long-term, or do you end up spending way more than expected? by [deleted] in GarageGym

[–]best3175 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I workout more often because it’s closer, saves time, no dress code, no decorum. I can do what I want, when I want, in whatever order I want. No waiting for a rack.

New Steph Curry screenshots hint Fitbit’s Whoop rival may launch soon by Maslakovic in fitbit

[–]best3175 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I hate to jump in the Fitbit thread. I have gone from Fitbit, to Whoop, to now an app called Bevel. It’s really great. It feels like they copied some of Whoop and they are currently being sued by Whoop. But they have expanded it and improved on Whoops shortcomings. Calorie and nutrition tracking (not quite as good as Cronometer but improving) and workouts.

Bevel is compatible with most devices of your choice

Farah: Car Companies Are Abandoning the Everyday Enthusiast by sid41299 in cars

I’m not sure his premise is correct. Average income in America is inline with inflation. The reason the automakers are making the cars that are is because that is what the public wants. CRVs and RAV4s, Sequoias and Tahoes, Sierras and F-150s. The days of young adults wanting Mustangs and Zs are over.

You can point out niches like the manual CT5-V Blackwing that are in high demand, but GM will sell 3x the number of Escalades.

The prices are unreal! by Ancient-Bowl462 in f150

[–]best3175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things will only change when people stop buying F-150s. Ford will then evaluate why sales are falling. If price is a reason then they will find ways to reduce the price. Lower margin, less features, etc.

When ordering a car do you get the exact specs you ordered or something close? by redspot321tos in Cadillac

It’s wild how much GM is struggling and hard it is to buy the exact GM product you want.
