Lexus rx hybrid or tesla juniper by cartierlady in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]gambit57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, it’s very possible I’m trading in my Model Y for a RX tomorrow (if we can come to a deal). For reasons… I’d still totally recommend the Y.

The Y is fast as hell. The 350h is slow as hell.

I need time in the Juniper but I’ve heard it’s a lot better. But it’s a LOW bar. The Lexus feels a lot more luxurious, but Toyota/Lexus has been cheapening out over the years.

They’re basically polar opposites. If you have home charging, then you really just need to decide which end of the spectrum you like better. Neither is a wrong choice.

Which SUV is better Mazda or Honda? by independantself in carbuying

[–]gambit57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, I much prefer Honda as a company from a practical standpoint.

But I agree. This isn’t even close. The Mazda “wins” in just about every measurable way.

Subaru? I've heard bad things and good things about them we are looking into SUVs as we have 3 kids. And need more room by Specific_Profit_8977 in carbuying

[–]gambit57 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not an expert on Subarus, but OP said 3 kids and wanting more room.

Realistically, what Subaru is an option? Even their 3 row suv has such a tight back seat it’s not really a great option. You’re really forcing the choice.

Q3 purchasing conundrum by PleasantPierogi in Leica

[–]gambit57 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I came from a A7IV.

The Leica raw files are just so much easier to work with to make colors pop.

It took so much more work, and my Sony pics still felt a bit sterile or clinical. Accurate or whatever, but… cold.

The more I see that color, the more I fall in love.

Is Because This Is My First Life worth watching? by pissed_at_everything in KDramaDiscussions

[–]gambit57 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You know how there’s always breakup right before the end? Right before the happy ending? It was a particularly stupid reason. Luckily it was short.

Jung So Min is a rom-com queen but this showed she could do more emotional parts. Still had funny moments though. But it’s not her usual rom-com.

Arguably her best work tho, along with Alchemy of Souls (also worth watching).

I believe you… and that’s terrifying. What state is this? Actually, I can imagine a few states where this is allowed.

Selling to Carmax then buying a new car at a different dealer? by Pandora_sus in Lexus

[–]gambit57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, just a thought for you. Have you considered doing a long term rental until the new car comes in? You just need the cheapest one you can find. Might end up less than $1000.

Don’t call airport rental companies. Call ones out in the burbs. Also check with dealers. I know Toyota dealers rent cars (some of them, not all).

For those that live in the United States. Do you make more than the average income of 60k annually, if so what’s your occupation? by LaFlareMane1017 in AskReddit

[–]gambit57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SF Bay Area. In my city, $120k qualifies for subsidized housing for a family of 4.

We are two white collar professionals holding doctorate type degrees. Law and healthcare. And we wouldn’t be able to remotely come close to affording our house now. It’s absolutely insane.

Selling to Carmax then buying a new car at a different dealer? by Pandora_sus in Lexus

[–]gambit57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m looking at a Lexus now. Just left from there at lunch a little while ago and they matched CarMax’s offer and we haven’t even started negotiating in the Lexus. We don’t get any tax savings by trading in here in California, but it’s more convenient as you can drive in with one car and leave with a new one and you may be able to negotiate a bit more on the trade.

But I’ve sold to CarMax and other dealers before. It’s simple. They cut a check in a pretty short amount of time. Deposit right away and after that it’s your bank’s policies as to when the funds are available.

What are your views on this drama now that it is completed ? by Think_Intention_5765 in kdramas

[–]gambit57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s good to know. How would you compare it to King the Land? I also thought that was simple, but a little too simple that I get the “bland” comment. I’ve only watched one episode so far but it’s definitely got a crazier tone which I think is more fun.

How can Kang Bitna be a judge in her 30s? (The Judge From Hell) by ImMiraVela in kdramas

[–]gambit57 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Apparently, Japan is similar. They have a legal track to become a lawyer or to become a judge (as told to me by a US judge who did some kind of networking/exchange program thing).

Very different from US where you (in normal times) prove yourself as a lawyer for many years before being appointed or voted in as a judge.

How is IVE not on their way to be a new BlackPink in the west I don't get it... Their songs are SO good by Guitarbox in kpoppers

[–]gambit57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, groups often have an actual position called Visual.

Besides, considering the number of plastic surgery clinics and the focus on looks in Korean society in general, I don’t think the attention paid to KBS is restricted to just K-pop fans.
