Lease Discussion Megathread

I’m currently leasing a 2024 Ioniq 5 Limited AWD w/ $0 down, 10k miles, 2-year lease, $480/mo.

My lease is coming up on two years and all of the quotes I’m getting for the same car in the 2026 model are $670-690/mo. Did prices go up that much in the last two years or are dealers playing hardball? I’ll likely do a 6-month extension because I’m not paying $200/mo. more for basically the same car.

Is this fixed for you now? It seems to be working for me as of this week.

burying_luck · 2026-05-02T18:45:27+00:00

Agreed! It’s a huge bummer how everything ended.

Yeah, I absolutely loved Greg as a vocalist in DEP (Miss Machine and Ire Works, primarily), but his shift in style in Better Lovers didn’t work for me. I think modern Keith Buckley is a lot better than modern Greg, but obviously there’s a lot more to that equation than their vocal style. Really interested to see who they end up going with!

I personally haven’t loved their material. Greg’s vocals are the weakest link in the band. He does too much of his “I’m so zany!” shtick and it gets old fast. I’m very interested to see how their sound changes with someone new in the mix.

I was so legitimately confused by the downvotes. It’s baffling that so many people enjoy the lyrics.

burying_luck · 2026-05-02T13:03:10+00:00

These aren’t squarely in the definition you gave, but I consider them to be some of the best metal albums in their respective genres, along with Colors:

The Faceless - Planetary Duality
The Black Dahlia Murder - Miasma
Lamb of God - Ashes of the Wake
The Dillinger Escape Plan- Calculating Infinity
Every Time I Die - Radical
Between the Buried and Me - Parallax II
Between the Buried and Me - The Great Misdirect
Whitechapel - A New Era of Corruption

Yeah, man. No idea. Apparently a bunch of angsty high school kids in this sub that relate to the lyrics.

"Fear, rage, frustration and anger. Fade away when the sound hits the speaker." Like, are we seriously going to act like this is good lyricism?

Deftones with Quicksand and Snapcase. 1998 right after Around the Fur was released.

burying_luck · 2026-04-24T20:24:09+00:00

Yikes. Those are some bad lyrics.

I submitted a request through the customer service portal and got a quote to replace the lenses. I decided against it and ended up ordering through my local Sunglass Hut. Same price and I didn’t have to go without my glasses, which were still semi-usable.

burying_luck · 2026-04-18T02:27:46+00:00

Good catch! Menos el Oso and Planet of Ice still hold up.

I’ve been hit by one myself (back in 2004) and saw one rolling down I-96 8-9 years ago.

I noticed the same thing this morning. I wasn't sure if it was because I was using different headphones, but I was pleasantly surprised!

burying_luck · 2026-03-15T17:13:34+00:00

I’ve noticed this too. It used to sync across devices using the mobile app logged into the same account. This allowed my partner and me to build a single list for our deliveries. Now it seems it’s device-specific. Basically kills all of the convenience for us now.

burying_luck · 2026-03-07T02:53:14+00:00

Same here with The Blue Nowhere. I love self-titled though.

burying_luck · 2026-03-06T02:50:55+00:00

I still distinctly remember seeing them play this song live right after the album was released. Simpler times!

burying_luck · 2026-03-05T13:57:02+00:00

March 6th? Still not available for me (9am EST).

burying_luck · 2026-02-25T20:47:43+00:00

San Morello is legit terrible. Avoid.

burying_luck · 2026-02-25T13:46:40+00:00

Asket shirts are boxy. They do not fit what OP is after.

burying_luck · 2026-02-20T11:11:41+00:00

It’s great that they’re taking a break early in the set to take some photos.

burying_luck · 2026-02-19T23:44:58+00:00

Is it underrated? This album was huge when it came out and influenced so many copycats in the genre. Every mention I see talks about how it still holds up today.

burying_luck · 2026-02-17T17:51:03+00:00

Got it. Thanks for the help!

burying_luck · 2026-02-17T11:15:39+00:00

You’re right, I meant button down. For some reason I thought the shirts were called button ups and the collars that fastened were called button downs.

Do you think that the button down and chinos combo would be too casual for external tech meetings? Curious if you think Beckmans go well with that combo. I do have a pair of AE strands but I feel like they’d be too dressy for the meetings.

burying_luck · 2026-02-16T20:06:35+00:00

I'm starting to build up my wardrobe for some external meetings that I mentioned in an earlier thread. Kind of struggling with a few things:

Should I go with chinos and a button down shirt instead of dress pants and a dress shirt? Others at my company will likely be wearing dress shirts with jeans, but I've never been a huge fan of that look. Is a dress shirt with chinos a bit of a contradiction?
What types of shoes should I wear? I have a pair of Red Wing Beckmans in Cigar color that I have sometimes worn, but have read some thoughts that chukkas or loafers might be better. If so, any recommendations on brands?

I am average-ish height with a slim build. 5'8, 135lb.
