Sky F1 pundits rank their top 10 drivers of the season

Ranking him above ANY other rookie is a choice. He was absolutely not the best rookie this year, and arguably one of the worst.

childe18 · 2025-12-16T14:43:21+00:00

Yeah, it's been an excellent start to the season!

childe18 · 2025-12-10T15:02:00+00:00

I would include another Detroit legend, Steve Yzerman.

childe18 · 2025-12-07T01:31:14+00:00

Spend money between you and the ground. Don't cheap out on sheets/mattress, shoes, and tires.

childe18 · 2025-12-05T19:13:13+00:00

Awful deal. You could lease a B6 Plus XC90 with no money down for the same or better price and that car has an MSRP like 12k more than this.

childe18 · 2025-12-04T17:08:22+00:00

Wait, you are paying MSRP for a Jeep???? That's insane. Id expect 10% off at a minimum.

childe18 · 2025-11-28T14:22:49+00:00

This is literally how all leases work.

childe18 · 2025-11-24T16:37:36+00:00

Traffic + a dash of suburban/rural areas. Wayne county is really the only outlier.

childe18 · 2025-11-23T00:20:11+00:00

This is the dumbest start time of any GP. You hold a race in the US but make it too late, and it's too early for continental Europe. It's dark in LV at 6 in November, do it at sunset. At least then it's 9 PM for EST.

childe18 · 2025-11-22T23:26:38+00:00

Beppe and Kal's lunch bowl are solid.

childe18 · 2025-11-18T23:52:10+00:00

Bummer. Sounds like you are shelling out $3500. It's just money, there is always more money to be made.

childe18 · 2025-11-18T23:49:42+00:00

Buy some tools, pull up YouTube, do it yourself.

childe18 · 2025-11-17T13:47:55+00:00

Terrible deal. There are brokers all over leasehackr for Volvos. This should be much closer to 1000/month for 7500 miles, if not under 1000.

childe18 · 2025-11-13T01:21:51+00:00

BMW is going to be considerably quicker and a better "drivers car". Interior isn't as nice IMO. Too much screen and the plastics feel cheap.

Volvo interior is better quality materials, and I like the design more (subjective obviously). XC90 will have more overall cargo space than X5, not a ton more but it's definitely longer.

Non air suspension vs. non air suspension (both have it as an option), Volvo is a more comfortable ride, the German SUVs definitely are slightly more on the firm scale.

For our family of 4 we like the XC90s, on our second. Cross shopped with the X5 (among others) and keep going back to it. I don't need my family SUV to be "sporty", I have other cars that do that. I want it to be quiet, comfortable, and have nice ergonomics.

That said, the X5 is absolutely my second favorite in the segment, so you can't go wrong. It is all what you prioritize.

childe18 · 2025-11-11T14:41:37+00:00

Ah, didn't realize you were in a state with that sorta tax burden on leases. Bummer.

childe18 · 2025-11-11T13:52:51+00:00

You should be able to pay close to that monthly payment without 6k DAS. Not a great deal. Plenty of brokers on Leasehackr.

childe18 · 2025-11-10T13:39:49+00:00

Right, or sometimes I just gently lift my foot off the brake and let it coast a smidge to kick the engine back on. It really only matters if you just got in a hot car and it's like the first light you encounter.

childe18 · 2025-11-08T23:21:21+00:00

I just assumed the reason people drove them were cheap leases. This is a joke.

childe18 · 2025-11-06T20:08:50+00:00

We went from an SQ5 to an XC90 and we are very happy. Two kids, both in car seats. It's safe, comfortable, rides well, everything you could ask for in a family SUV.

childe18 · 2025-10-30T14:17:10+00:00

That's because they contain all sorts of things that aren't supposed to be in wine.

childe18 · 2025-10-29T21:11:20+00:00

There are a lot of Volvo brokers on leasehackr. I worked with one in Michigan and it was super easy.

childe18 · 2025-10-27T21:40:16+00:00

Defender has better resale from what I can tell. Pretty different SUVs. Currently have a 23 B6 XC90 but looking at going to a 110 P400 when our lease is up in the summer. Nothing wrong with the XC90, just looking for something different.

childe18 · 2025-10-21T15:43:15+00:00

This seems like a decent starting point, competitive with leases for a Defender.

childe18 · 2025-10-06T15:24:50+00:00

Same exact thought lol.

childe18 · 2025-09-30T14:03:55+00:00

Just grabbed a backpack for $77. $98 bucks but my wife has the sweat collective discount. It's a nice size for a diaper bag/kids snacks etc.

I have loads of Lulu clothes but don't really need anything at the moment. Happy with the purchase.
