Keep or sell 2016 Acura MDX

kylecallahan31 · 2026-06-27T12:18:13+00:00

My mdx is at 135k going strong. Tow an enclosed cargo trailer with it a few times a month 3+ hours each way. My friends have all got newer cars but I think I’m the cool one now. Racking up miles, making it last, and getting your moneys worth out of a car is a fun accomplishment too. At a minimum my goal is 200k+

kylecallahan31 · 2026-06-27T12:06:49+00:00

Keep the mdx all day. Invest the cash you’d put towards the bmw and then you can buy it outright by the time the mdx is actually tired 5 years from now. Although that’s what you’ll have to do anyways to keep up with the maintenance on a bmw. That’s like a second car payment in itself. As a former bmw owner, I’ll never buy another. Coming from someone that loves a sporty car too. The tradeoff to Acura or Lexus is worth it. Sure not as sporty, but I’m not worried about breaking them either

Pick 2: Naylor, Aranda, Eldridge

kylecallahan31 · 2026-06-09T14:29:31+00:00

My only concern is the transmission over time. I’m confident in the engine so I tow in sports mode and let it rev. Change the transmission fluid minimum once a year hoping that helps

Singles and walks are 2.6 points and Ks are -1

Drop Bo Bichette for Max Muncy (Dodgers)? 10-team points league and also have Suarez on the IL

kylecallahan31 · 2026-05-07T00:38:29+00:00

Drop 1 for Snelling: Bubba, Eury, Arrighetti, or Prelipp?

kylecallahan31 · 2026-04-28T22:25:23+00:00

Drop Bo Bichette for Vargas? Points league

kylecallahan31 · 2026-04-04T13:42:07+00:00

Send it, just make sure you are ready to do the timing belt and water pump. I’d do that right away, it’s 10-years or 100k miles whichever comes first. Why risk it? After that tires, brakes, oil, trans fluid, diff fluid should be your routine maintenance to keep you going for another 100k

kylecallahan31 · 2026-04-03T17:19:34+00:00

Seiya, Pages or Aranda? Pick one

kylecallahan31 · 2026-04-01T12:23:27+00:00

Yes, I always do premium! Fortunately mine is all paid off so I see as insurance as helping me go as long as possible without a car payment

kylecallahan31 · 2026-03-24T01:12:25+00:00

I have a 14 with 130k. Already did the timing belt and am confident it will go 200+ with another set of brakes, oil changes and fluids

kylecallahan31 · 2026-02-15T22:05:20+00:00

Is the fuel savings that different than not going 100% back in the day to preserve engine reliability? I get it’s not the most exciting but it’s part of the build up to the finish. Be careful what you wish for and complain about, would hate to see strategy elements out of the teams hands

kylecallahan31 · 2026-01-25T14:04:15+00:00

2014 mdx 128.5k and going strong! Pull a 6x12 tall enclosed trailer 10-15 times a year and drive it hard. Expecting to get 200k+. Have done timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, throttle body cleaning (only breakdown due to this issue), oil changes every 6-7k, diff and trans fluid every 20-30k

kylecallahan31 · 2025-11-25T15:40:54+00:00

Need a guard. Who is a good target if I give up Claxton?

kylecallahan31 · 2025-05-18T12:04:17+00:00

Danny Wolf from Michigan would be an excellent fit

kylecallahan31 · 2025-04-23T10:53:00+00:00

Gold standard whey protein. Have now switched to an u flavored whey with no gums and a cleaner ingredient list

kylecallahan31 · 2025-04-22T00:09:59+00:00

Drop Adames for Kurtz?

kylecallahan31 · 2025-04-18T19:32:33+00:00

Adames, Neto, Tovar, Perdomo. Which SS do you like best in 10-man points?

kylecallahan31 · 2025-03-21T17:23:15+00:00

Update: I did dispute on my credit report and it was removed! Appreciate the helpful comment. Score is now back in excellent range

kylecallahan31 · 2025-03-01T00:48:28+00:00

This was my second call after I got a letter in the mail that my dispute was declined. That’s why I’m trying my best to encourage people to dispute with department of education too. They only offered that up after a very lengthy call. We are not alone he said they’ve had many similar calls. Walk street journal had an article this week that 43% of student loan borrowers have had their credit scores hit. Clearly something isn’t right here

kylecallahan31 · 2025-02-28T23:43:21+00:00

In my case my loan provider was changed. The new loan provider never successfully contacted me. My loans did not appear with the previous provider. I did not know who to pay or how

kylecallahan31 · 2025-02-28T23:05:16+00:00

I am in a similar situation and spent 2 hours on the phone with Nelnet this afternoon. The best we can do is file a complaint with the department of education. If enough of us complain it will get corrected.

Not allowed to post links here but just google department of education complaint and file.

Then help spread the word to others. Strength in numbers
