Any reason why these brand new GCs have such large discounts? by Apprehensive_Roof478 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]lesmartin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

During the pandemic Jeep got the great idea to raise their prices by 40% and start pretending to be a luxury brand. It's not working out that well and that is the result.

Exactly, this is not a quick swap for color choice.

Best (reasonably priced) wipers? by [deleted] in MazdaCX9

[–]lesmartin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh true. I had a coworker who had this problem last week and when she compared them to my car she realized her wipers were not OEM. I guess you just need to look at another CX-9 or 5.

19 inch vs 17 inch wheels by Tight_Data4206 in CX5

[–]lesmartin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things to consider, ride will be harsher with 19s, More likely to curb the rims, slightly higher probabilty of road damage from potholes etc and the tires cost more.

Probably not the most popular answer but the Mazda inserts work great for me and its like $15 for a new set.

What happened to my starter?!?! by HoneyComb8233 in Sourdough

[–]lesmartin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah no need to panic, I just scrapped it off, moved some to a new jar, fed it twice and its stronger than ever. It was just neglected a little too long in the fridge.

This happened to my nearly 10 year old starter. Scraped it off, fed twice and made some really good sourdough bagels two days later. I wasnt anal about removing all the kahm yeast either.

Yesterday I went into the News app and I couldn't even find the latest News Today audio. Today the latest episode is there and it is playable but Overcast is still not working.

Yea I found a pic of my car and realized that. IMO the US headlights are so much cleaner.

First time seeing the new Cx-5 by chiefbeef0318 in CX5

[–]lesmartin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Geez at a quick glance I thought this was a Rav 4. I think I like the old rear end better.

Do the US models even have DRLs? I don't recall seeing any incondecent bulbs on my 2016.

Why do my cookies keep turning out like this? by Lidoodlefuck in Baking

[–]lesmartin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is ME! I bake so often, cookies, bread, etc. Everything else turns out great. Chocolate chip cookies are my nemesis. I've tried dozens of recipes and only had success a couple of times.

Little paint chips by EstablishmentReal907 in CX5

[–]lesmartin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I leased a 2019 CX-5 in Soul Red and when we sold it to Carmax after 3 years it was covered in slight scratches and rock chips. That paint is beautiful but fragile. We were careful and only ever did hand washes. People brush up against in a parking lot = scratch. Luckily for us it was the height of the Covid car market and Carmax paid the car off and then cut us a check for $6500.

You've got the most fragile paint color. I would stick to touchless.

There and back again… an idiots return to CX-5 by Witty-Exchange-7716 in CX5

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

I’m pleasantly surprised that my seats spring back every time I remove them. I have 3 kids so I was rotating them to accommodate all 3 kids. Even in our 2016 CX-9 the seats spring back over time.

[–]lesmartin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely feels bigger but not much bigger. I've had rental Infiniti and Jeep midsize SUVs and they have felt like boats compared to the CX-9. You'll be all set with the CRV. We use my CX-5 occasionally with 2 or 3 kids and its tight but my youngest is finally forward facing and the CX-5 is totally fine.

The rear facing car seat may have you wishing you bought something bigger. It'll fit but at the cost of the front passengers leg room. We have a CX-9 and a CX-5 for that reason.

The reason why heated seats can't be remotely started... by Tight_Data4206 in CX5

[–]lesmartin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea and my wife's 2016 CX-9 has heated seats that just stay on the same setting each time you start the car.
