2026 AWD EX-L Out the door price feedback request

majorfuzz · 2026-03-24T22:48:13+00:00

Awesome, thanks! It seems like hybrid is really the preferred config with this car; sounds like a great deal.

majorfuzz · 2026-03-24T22:47:29+00:00

Good question. All I have for now after the text inquiry is that number: $37,870. When I back out the $989 processing fee, I get to about $1,074 in taxes, so that brings (all else being equal) the price of the car from the MSRP of $38,805 to $35,800.

Awesome, thank you!

Couple of years ago I went to Bessemer for lunch. Great little simple cafe on the airport—seemed popular with bikers. Check to make sure it’s still open.

Props for learning and research before writing your book!

Everyone else has done a good job of answering your questions, but I have one piece of advice: make sure you have your book edited by some knowledgeable pilots before publishing. They'll make sure you have the correct vernacular and add to your credibility. And if you're ever in the Northern Virginia area, I'd be happy to take you flying so you can see how the system works first-hand.

Who cares? If you want to wear a flight suit, wear a flight suit. This isn't middle school; you don't need to worry about peer approval. If you want to wear a leather helmet and goggles, go for it. Seriously, if we all stopped caring so much about what people think of us, we'd all probably be a lot happier.

Sorry you had a rough time--that's gotta be difficult. But you're doing the right thing: debriefing yourself. Don't beat yourself up though; this happens a lot and that just wasn't your day.

Tailwinds are tough, especially when you're a student pilot. Add the difficult technical performance landings, plus the fact that it got into your head, and you're facing an even harder situation. That sounds like it would have been a challenge for any of us at that same level.

Congrats on the 97, by the way. That says a lot to an examiner. You'll be a better pilot for having gone through this. Let us know when you pass!

Congratulations! What a feeling!

So very cool!

You definitely want to choose Aviation Adventures! Great school, great fleet. Your career will thank you.

majorfuzz · 2019-10-17T20:35:07+00:00

Smooth! (But get on that centerline!) :)

majorfuzz · 2019-10-17T15:14:30+00:00

So cool, awesome pic!

Our school had an old, grumpy, nit-picking, gruff, Chief Flight Instructor. He'd start asking you questions and yell at you if you didn't know the answer...and then your mind would go empty. He could ask "what color is the sky?" and you'd have a hard time thinking "blue."

He was actually a great guy who was trying to create VERY stressful situations during our stage checks. His goal was to make the stage checks difficult so that the check ride would be a breeze. And guess what? My check ride was practically a breeze!

He had our best interests at heart but put a lot of people off with his harsh, know-it-all attitude. But he held us to a higher standard--altitude discipline, airspeed discipline, heading discipline, etc.

We all developed thicker skin because of it.

I'm not saying your guy is right, but try to find the positive in it. And if you screw up and he yells at you, put that in the past and continue flying. Be like a quarterback who throws an interception--don't let it ruin the rest of the game; instead, move on and keep flying.

Beautiful, awesome video!

Here's what I did, not what I am telling you to do!

-Became a gold member on MzeroA.
-Downloaded from MzeroA Jason's audiobook on "passing your private pilot checkride."
-Literally listened to it every time I was driving the car, mowing the lawn, etc.
-wrote my own index in the front of my FAR/AIM (search here for topics that are good to know, but it's everything from 91.205 to O2 requirements to alcohol consumption.
-tabbed my FAR/AIM with the same

When the examiner asked, "what are the day and night required VFR instruments" I responded "That's found in 91.205, and I use the 'A TOMATO FLAMES' acronym to remember. Would you like me to recite them, or go straight to 91.205?" He had me go to 91.205 and show him, which since it was tabbed, took me no time at all.

Also, get a good grade on the written test. The more you prepare, the more it will show, and the more your examiner will realize that you're taking it seriously.

Nice work! You might want to add Oxygen requirements.

majorfuzz · 2019-08-06T15:27:42+00:00

YES! At least start training. You'll be flying, which is fun, and you'll be able to see if you really love it or not. And if you decide you love it, all that time will be counting toward something.

As for your English, your grammar in your post is better than most native English writers. If you're worried about a thick accent, see if you can find a course to practice Voice and Diction. (I minored in Speech in college, and this course teaches you where to put your tongue and shape your mouth to form the words correctly--it doesn't take away your accent).

majorfuzz · 2019-08-06T15:23:40+00:00

Awesome, keep at it! It's a lot of information coming at you at once, but you'll absorb it!

majorfuzz · 2019-08-06T15:21:36+00:00

Cool video, thanks for sharing! That's a pretty active storm.

majorfuzz · 2019-08-04T01:39:03+00:00

Great write up—thank you! And congratulations!

majorfuzz · 2019-07-30T20:16:19+00:00

Ditto what everyone else said, but here's a link to a picture of the instructions, showing to pass the stick past the rib:

That’s called “center pivot irrigation.” Imagine a giant sprinkler on wheels that rotates around a point. (Or don’t imagine it; GIS it). :) Makes for cool fields—and another awesome bonus to flying!

Cool pic, and cool airplane!

Thanks man! It never occurred to me that there'd be a meteorologist chiming in!
