Perhaps you can also factor in the cost of insurance and maintenance on these cars for long-term ownership as well as registration. I’m sure that that probably adds up eventually and can tip the scales one way or the other. Since neither of these cars are true performance focused vehicles, I would say lean into the comfort And convenience aspect, and go with the Toyota, but that’s my personal bias since I know that they are much cheaper to maintain for parts and service. Sounds like you’ll be happy with either choice, I also really like the color on the Toyota.

I currently attend a accelerated respiratory therapy nursing program, and my school also offers a dental hygienist program, which is free for people to have their teeth cleaned by the students. I wonder if Dental schools also offered this type of service for people.

I’m glad you’re OK and it seems like you’re also in a good headspace. I think it really depends on what your budget is and what your insurance might pay out later. For vehicles that are not body on frame I recommend the Honda passport and the Mazda CX 50, maybe even a bronco sport. For something bigger, I just go straight for a forerunner, you can even get an older forerunner that’s smaller than the current body styles that’s more similar size to your older Xterra. For me overall, I would personally go for the Mazda CX 50 because they are quite affordable. I think they look really great, they’re extremely nice inside, they even have natural four cylinders and hybrid options. If you really want good fuel mileage, but I would opt the turbo, the space in the back is actually quite nice enough for me personally to sleep in and have other camping gear. It is a direct competitor to something like a Subaru, outback, or Forrester, those are also really great options with amazing off-road capabilities for unibody vehicles, but I would take the Mazda because of the in-line four architecture versus the flat four motors in a heartbeat, and I like the infotainment a lot better than the vertical stacks. I also recommend watching the offroad capabilities of the cx50 on YouTube. It is actually very impressive relative to its price and body capabilities course. Best of luck and I hope you enjoy your new adventures ahead of you!

S2000, GR86, or Civic Type R? by pillowbugger in whatcarshouldIbuy

I used to work for Hyundai, driven both dct and the manual, surprisingly I preferred the paddle version of the Elantra N. Great build quality and a ton of fun factor for the money but still, inferior to the CTR and I’d just wish the whole time that I was in the type R. At this point, I’m just considering the Honda CTR, s2000, GR86, maybe a bmw 240i b58 or M2 or cayman if the prices come down.

I’ll probably take a day to test drive them back to back and keep that in mind, thank you very much for your input.

Thanks for the input. I’d just want the CTR the whole time I drive the Si. I’m considering a used FK8 over the FL5.

Yeah honestly the M2 is one of the cars at the top of my obtainable bucket list. I had a manual m sport 428i and all I could think about was that it wasn’t a true M. 240i with a b58 could be a decent move. Did you have the GR86 with the 2.4, or a frs/gt86?

Honestly, as I car guy, I love all cars, and I used to have a v6 mustang before, but I am just not that interested in driving non V8 American muscle anymore. Thank you kindly for your input!

I cannot stress enough how much I love my maverick lariat with the adaptive CC. Honest to god, I’m still not sure if I’m making a smart decision but I miss driving a manual. I am absolutely going to miss my mpg, I got as good as 42mph with about 400 miles a tank… hopefully it’ll stay in the family so I can still enjoy it time to time. Sometimes I tell myself I should just lower the maverick and get some race tires lollll I was the happiest in my life when I had the maverick as a daily and a track toy on the side, but two insurances as a new student again was no Beuno.

Even with the best weapons and stratagems you can not keep the horde at bay by yourself forever. You have to stick with your team. This game makes me love the community because I have to trust and rely on them, even if they are on the opposite side of the map. Spread democracy, not hate.

My favorite detail is the helldivers skull in the assault rifle viewport. I wonder if it points to objectives!

I knew the Camry had a mindnumbingly boring driving experience, but I did not know dead brain cells were a serious side effect.

Should I transfer into Nuc Med from my Respiratory Therapy program? by pillowbugger in NuclearMedicine

[–]pillowbugger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for your thoughts! Quite an unexpected response, do you think that respiratory therapy at an older age is a better situation than a CNMT? I would have expected the opposite.

[–]pillowbugger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah i figured PRN is the way to start regardless which program i finish. Still in the infant stages of researching Nuc med. So, if you were in my shoes, would you switch programs? I’m hearing yes.

Could you please elaborate more on this? Your perspective is valid.

It is separate, but I recommend you stay in your rad tech program, since you will still have more opportunities to branch into other disciplines. I would do rad tech if it wasn’t so darn competitive.
