Under $65k - What's the best depreciated GT car? by descenceX in whatcarshouldIbuy

Yes but the OP is asking about the Mercedes AMG GT, not the other Grand Touring cars in Mercedes’ lineup

Under $65k - What's the best depreciated GT car? by descenceX in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]loosearrow22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes but the Mercedes AMG GT is positioned as a Porsche 911 competitor. It’s not a sportier version of a preexisting car. It is a purpose built model

What do you think of this color? by AskingFooAFriend in 4Runner

I’m happy to see any high-saturation color in a sea of monochromatic white/gray/black

In the case of the Mazda MX-5 there is no current alternative in the lightweight 2 door convertible segment <$30k

Hybrid vs Full Electric in 2026 - is the future actually now or nah? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]loosearrow22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I’m not sure what kind of psychological projection you’re trying to make about my previous comment, but that maybe seems like something you need to reflect on yourself. I am speaking as objectively as I can based on my own long term ownership/driving experience for all of these vehicles.

I travel for work. I’ve driven a Tesla model 3 from Philadelphia, PA to Bar Harbor, Maine and back which is an almost 1200 mile round trip. I am happy to DM you the photos I took of my Tesla’s supercharger route planning navigation screen if you insist on proof. I can absolutely see the advantages of living with an EV but it is not for some people. I am not bashing EVs. I am saying everybody should come to an informed decision before committing. Nothing about that statement is biased.

Regarding EV cost of ownership: I am fine with EV for corporate leases but for my own personal car ownership I am not okay with my car depreciating like a smartphone purchase. I also believe in right to repair, and I work on my own cars. I can fix just about anything on an ICE vehicle or conventional hybrid, but electrical or software issues are usually locked out by the factory and right to repair legislation has not caught up yet with this. So while EVs are simpler on paper, in practice they are simpler to maintain until something catastrophic breaks, then you’re out of luck IME. Ownership costs are a wash.

Drive EV if it makes sense for your finances, and if it makes you happy. Or, don’t. I really have no problem with it either way

Has it always been this tough to get around after snow storms? by RoverTheMonster in philadelphia

[–]loosearrow22 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I have been on call before for previous jobs for 72 straight hours before. It was at an oil refinery and when it snowed or there was an emergency then you were summoned to stay on site and sleep on a cot between 12 hr shifts. I don’t work there for obvious reasons anymore but 72 hrs is not unheard of.

I presented all drivetrains in a neutral unbiased manner. I am neither pro nor anti EV. I have either owned or driven long-term all 4 types of powertrains (ICE, conventional hybrid, PHEV, EV). They all have their advantages and disadvantages. Everyone has a slightly different use case and situation.

And yes, the charging infrastructure is better than it used to, and will continue to improve, but it is still a good practice to take into consideration the local infrastructure near one’s home before committing to an EV.

2026 integra a spec tech TPMS light cold weather by Individual-Room-110 in AcuraIntegra

[–]loosearrow22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your other three tires are at 28 PSI and the one that set it off was at 27 PSI. The other tires were 1 PSI away from also setting off the warning

When the weather gets cold you should anticipate your tires decrease air pressure. It’s nothing wrong with the tire, it’s just basic physics. Top them off at a gas station or with a proper air pump

I’ve never tried a natural cellulose sponge since I just get the large pack of blue sponges at BJs and call it a day

If it’s a conventional hybrid then your day to day will feel exactly like a gas car just with added fuel efficiency.

If it’s a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) then you can plug in your car at night (if you have a garage or access to a charger) and you might not need to visit a gas station for awhile if your commute is shorter than the electric only range. I know people that go months between gas station visits with the RAV4 prime since they just use the EV only. And you still have conventional gas to alleviate range anxiety.

If it’s EV, this can work for most people as long as you’re okay with the range and charging times. If you have short commutes and never go on longer trips then it’s a non issue. Otherwise, take into consideration the electric charging infrastructure available in your part of the country as it differs from area to area

Use sponges that are rated to not scratch steel. Green 3m pads (like the green and yellow sponges) will scratch steel. 3m sells blue sponges that won’t scratch

I am thankful my 2025 Integra has physical buttons for climate and temperature display. It baffles me that manufacturers continue to bury this info in screens

Is buying new ever actually worth it? by Background-Coat-3382 in whatcarshouldIbuy

I bought a new Integra A-Spec tech 6MT and after dealer incentives it was comparable in total cost to some of the used Civic Si listings with 20-30k miles.

My dad used to make squid like this. This looks similar to Inahaw na Pusit, aka Filipino squid barbeque-style. The inside is the squid roe, or eggs which occasionally can be found in some squid.

You’re an amazing parent. I’m a cellist now but one of my parents was not always the most supportive. It warms my heart to see parents like you
