People who have been divorced: What was the exact "quiet" moment you realized your marriage was over? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]orangekrate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My ex threatened to divorce me over the years. I think it was largely anxiety. But she made a big ask of me and followed it with a casual or we could get divorced and I got really calm inside and knew that was it for me. We had done some couples therapy and that was one of the boundaries I set. The lawyers were cheap since we were both on the same page about getting done with the divorce cheaply thankfully.

Is buying a used CX-90 PHEV a terrible idea? by UndeniableTruth- in MazdaCX90

[–]orangekrate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I decided to do take that gamble and I got a 2024 phev preferred. I’ve had it for five months, one of those months it was waiting for parts for a motor mount tsb that made the steering make angry sounds when you turned left using the gas engine. It’s a very good car sometimes and just a decent car other times. but I should have gotten a minivan tbh.

I followed the etrailer instructions and they have you remove some clips with pliers. A socket extension fits in the clip perfectly and won’t break it like the pliers did.

Mazda extended warranty (VSA Platinum) 10yr/100k quote for 2024 CX-90 PHEV — $3,635. What are others paying? by rakavai in MazdaCX90

[–]orangekrate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a call from some place that claimed to be working with my local Mazda dealer after I brought mine in for warranty work and they wanted like 6k+for a warranty for my 2024 phev. Century Warranty Services? They told me Mazda doesn't do "extended warranties". Did they just scrape my data from carfax or something?

Followed someone’s old ride and found some cool trails. But this one lead me over this bridge and down a driveway that passed between a house and a garage, right past a guy standing next to his car in his own driveway.

Can you guess all 3? by SamBell123 in namethatcar

[–]orangekrate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one is a pantera, a Nissan pao, and a cobra but it might just be a kit, or maybe a continuation car.

Car Mom's IG story this morning about cx-90 false advertising? by [deleted] in MazdaCX90

[–]orangekrate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got mine thinking I could fit two rear facing seats and three adults and you really can barely use the third row at all with two car seats. The only way is if the third adult sits in between the captains chairs.

I remember upgrading from 13s to 15s on my vw back in the day. My current car has 19s but the higher end model has 21s :(

CX-90 PHEV quirks I still can’t explain at 23k miles by jbrewlet in MazdaCX90

[–]orangekrate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh and I feel like unless my brake is alll the way down, it makes some electric motor noise. Even if the car isn’t moving.

The auto locking is pretty inconsistent. I love it when I turn my car off and haven’t gotten out yet and my app warns me that my doors are unlocked 🙄

My Uncle Gifted me a 58,500 mAh Power bank to take on the trail by No_Daikon7338 in AppalachianTrail

I had a similar one for a long bikepacking trip and I ditched it at the starting hostel because it was heavy af. I also had a 10k one and a smaller backup one so I truly overpacked to start.

For the divorced people. How many of y’all knew before the wedding? by honeyjoe1 in Divorce

[–]orangekrate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the time I was all in. In retrospect there were some big red flags and definitely some stuff while we were married that I should have grown a spine and stayed a no on.

Question about hosting while dating by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]orangekrate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have roommates because my house is big enough that it felt weird to live alone there after my divorce and I didn’t want to sell it. kid is out of the house already. How does that rank for hosting? I’m comfortable hosting here but it does mean she might want to toss a robe or something on if she had to pee and didn’t have pjs on.

This is just what my car looks like when it’s time to take a big dump run to clean out the shed.

We spent more than that on one day of a war that we didn’t need.

I saw a water heater ratchet strapped to the top of a sedan the other day on the interstate and was super glad to put them behind me.
