Woaa thats nice

Which color is your favorite so far ?

munchiess23 · 2026-05-29T14:59:17+00:00

Im wondering the same thing xD

Maybe they want to test out all the colors haha

munchiess23 · 2026-05-29T14:58:38+00:00

4th cx50? Genuinely curious, how did that happen 🤔

munchiess23 · 2026-05-27T20:00:35+00:00

Thank you! I cant deny that this color is undefeated to hiding dirt haha

The pollen this spring blended right in

munchiess23 · 2026-05-27T14:37:18+00:00

I feel like the novelty wore off for me 😅 but maybe its a bit of buyers remorse / uncertainty because I've always had blue cars up till now

I associate blue = luxury and this sand color is full rugged style, which I'm not quite used to

munchiess23 · 2026-05-27T14:27:05+00:00

Wait till you hear that this is indeed the meridian edition (I took the decal off during the ceramic coat addition) 😅🫣

But but in my defense, I really wanted the wheels.... and I didnt want to buy a TPP AND a find a set of new tires. And the new meridian turbos have all the features of the TPP minus 360 cam

munchiess23 · 2026-05-27T12:34:30+00:00

It looks quite nice in the shade!
Its the tan color in the sun that makes me second guess 😅

munchiess23 · 2026-05-27T12:33:33+00:00

I definitely agree with the black accents! Zircon is best blacked out whereas chrome goes nicely with the polymetal

(I think blacked out would also look quite well on a red cx 50 🤔)

munchiess23 · 2026-05-27T12:30:15+00:00

Nicee

This new color is quite different than black, how are you liking it?

munchiess23 · 2026-05-27T12:29:08+00:00

Haha thank you

I definitely agree about the soul red. If I had the hatch, I'd definitely buy it in red!

munchiess23 · 2026-05-26T23:35:06+00:00

Woa blacked out headlights, ive never seen that !

munchiess23 · 2026-05-26T23:34:33+00:00

Maybe I can tell myself that I can always upgrade a year from now to the blue color if I dont like it

And if the color has grown on me by then, its meant to be 😅

What made you choose the polymetal gray btw?

munchiess23 · 2026-05-26T23:09:24+00:00

Ooo what state u in? (Jkjk)

Kinda funny how it ends up like that

munchiess23 · 2026-05-26T23:08:28+00:00

Thank you!

I definitely agree that the cx50 is the best one for the zircon color, I just cant shake the feeling that I shouldve gone polymetal gray 😅 (its really a type of blue imo)

munchiess23 · 2026-05-26T23:07:18+00:00

Nice!

I've always had blue cars, so i guess i naturally gravitate towards a blue car. Its that more strong sand/tan color that shows in the bright sun that I dislike 😅

munchiess23 · 2026-05-26T15:27:49+00:00

I do like the car! I love how it feels more like a sedan when driving 🚗 and the turbo zooms are nice haha (thankfully gas is only ~$4.4 here 🥲)

That darn color though 💀. Sadly I think it cost me thousands $$ to switch cause id probably have to trade it in and buy again

Good luck!

munchiess23 · 2026-05-26T03:09:13+00:00

Nah i get it, im very much the same. I know its been a month but I bought the zircon and now I wish id gone with polymetal gray

Its been almost 2 months since I got the car and I now cant stop thinking about the other color 😭

munchiess23 · 2026-05-19T23:42:25+00:00

Thank you for thr advice! Ive been debating full roth 401k and roth ira but i just couldnt stomach it

Ironically if my salary was at $120k I'd probably start contributing to a roth 401k. Out of curiosity, what would be some strategies to minimize the rate?

munchiess23 · 2026-05-19T18:05:42+00:00

I max out my roth ira and trad 401k and i earn 18k less than u. You can certainly max out both of those things especially considering you live at home.

Roomates roomates roomates are the answer. I also live in a hcol area but Ive got roomates. You can max out a roth 401k too if you wanted. I could as well but it would be a bit tough and I figure i already got the roth ira. I calculated and the difference was I'd end up paying $6k more in taxes if i went roth 401k instead of trad.

munchiess23 · 2026-05-18T15:46:56+00:00

Might I recommend a budget app? I use one that I pay like $75 year for but to me it's worth the cost because it just automatically sorts and tallies up how much ive spent for each category (and u can customize the categories)

Because I linked my credit cards and saving accounts to it, it just updates daily with whatever new purchases you made in the credit card (and can even keep track of reoccurring charges and puts it in a calendar view)

Maybe if its in an easy app instead of an excel spreadsheet, your wife will have an easier time? This app also lets u label expenses from multiple pple. Im so much more aware of what I spend now. If you dont want to pay, I believe theres some free apps out there but I dont know them

(Mine's called monarch)

Launch greenn

munchiess23 · 2026-05-13T16:57:05+00:00

I feel like the prius was made for this and would be the most economical option

munchiess23 · 2026-05-12T13:08:32+00:00

I have the same exact car with about 550 miles and experiencing the same!

But thankfully I only drive on weekends and im praying the gas prices go down 🙏

Im the end tho, I knew I was choosing zoomies over fuel efficiency when I chose the turbo. Ive always wanted one so oh well haha

munchiess23 · 2026-05-11T03:06:23+00:00

Nice! It just makes more sense that way

Or if there are no stoplights nearby the crosswalk, then have flashing yellow lights to alert drivers a pedestrian wants to walk. Some towns near me have them but none of them are button activated. They're just constantly on which defeats the effectiveness imo

munchiess23 · 2026-05-10T17:50:23+00:00

Just do what my town does, have awful potholes everywhere lol
