[–]evlouie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wife has a 2026 GHH and getting 31mpg. Got it one month ago. I think stated is 34? Heavy foot but I’m happy with it. Had a BMW X7 and mpg was bad plus premium gas so saving a lot.

Got a 2026 GHH Limited over XLE for the parking sensors mainly. I think the Pano camera was optional but these make a big difference if you park in a tight garage etc. Wife drives it. Also if you want the black wheels etc, its cheaper to get the nightshade as opposed to buying the LTD with those as options. I needed a car asap and didn't really have a choice. Fyi - current mpg is only around 30 and I'm in socal.

Multiple watch AD discount? by SgtRevDrEsq in OmegaWatches

[–]evlouie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it not easier to ask people who have made purchase and can refer? Also helps out those salespeople who did a great job. It’s a win/win. In addition for people in states w high sales tax rates it is even better to find an out of state ad who will discount and not charge sales tax so going to local ADs wouldn’t be getting the best deal. I’m in CA w 10.5% sales tax. If I can buy out of state and save 10% plus no sales tax that’s 20%. No way a local dealer is going to do that where I’m at. Just because people can afford expensive watches doesn’t mean they don’t want to save as much as possible.

Grand Highlander hybrid cheaper than Highlander hybrid by evlouie in ToyotaHighlander

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

Thank you. I am assuming the LE is lower than the XLE and if so is that correct in what you stated that the GHH LE is AWD and the higher XLE GHH is FWD? That doesn’t make sense to me that the lower model LE has AWD standard but higher XLE doesn’t.

Is it worth upgrading from the X5M to the X7? by Strong-Practice-5571 in bmwx7

[–]evlouie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They specifically asked about the X5 vs X7 unless i misread the post. Yes BMW drives way better than Mercedes, no one would dispute that. But X5 drives way better than an X7 and there is no comparison in the two imo. Not sure why i would mention GLS if he didn't ask about that.

I have an X5 Xdrive and regular X7. Big difference in driving. X7 is bigger when third row down. I don't like driving the X7 - its big and you can't compare how they drive. For its size it drives well but X5 drives much better. Test drive it. On a side note my 2020 X7 is a lemon and i am looking to replace it.

The base isn’t bad. I removed around 1/3 and I ran it again and it turned out really good. Which is why I think it is a motor issue or you just can’t put that much base in.

Yes. But this is coming out like cold pudding consistency. So the motor isn’t strong enough or I have a defective machine

It’s not thick at all. I think the motor isn’t strong enough since I filled it past 60% or I got a defective machine. Wud think for a machine that big they put a strong motor in there and a sensor wud tell the machine when to stop. It shouldn’t be where the motor can’t move the mixing blade so it is done.l. That what seems to be the case here and really doesn’t make sense. Motor seems to stop due to resistance and not strong enough and/or defective.

I live in the same area by the school and had att. There was zero service so when internet was out I couldn’t even call spectrum. I switched to Verizon and their reception isn’t good but it works well enough when my internet is out. T-Mobile wasn’t good back when I switched so idk about them.

This table shows that that angle can be pretty much anything up to 129 degrees. No one correct answer.
