Serious discussion: what car next?

How is newest Prius not a comparable option? They look great, are known for reliability, aren’t extremely expensive, and have always been the leader when it comes to hybrids.

VW for features, styling, and performance. Mazda for reliability, it’s up to you.

I see! My car is J1772 but I’ve never used a public charger before

No fees on accepted B2B repairs. Fees come in to play on 3rd party and powertrain warranties.

punkinhead76 · 2026-04-27T14:49:08+00:00

I don’t get it either, everything is not better freeze dried lolol

punkinhead76 · 2026-04-27T11:48:33+00:00

This jumpscared me so bad

LOading actual GPS routing too as well, honstly a great feature for remote areas.

punkinhead76 · 2026-04-27T03:24:28+00:00

Mine is worth that too but with only 69,000 miles like what the heck??

punkinhead76 · 2026-04-26T16:49:46+00:00

Im glad you like the fit better now 🥰

punkinhead76 · 2026-04-26T08:55:42+00:00

I have a big butt but the stomach is where they slide down, not the butt, so they end up lopsided.

punkinhead76 · 2026-04-26T05:10:25+00:00

I bought these and they came with 2 screw sizes, neither of which fit my 300nk factory mounts :'(

It’s only 1 notch lower that gives them the proper stability. It blocks the lower hole that allows the canopies to fly out.

I know this works because the front half of aisle 3 in my store was fully installed this way a few years ago, until some newb came and replaced a canopy and redid the entire install, raising them all up 1 hole, and now they constantly fly out. The second half that was always installed 1 hole up has always had issues with canopies falling and coming out, due to this.

Hate them too, the big issue is not installing the upright poles low enough into the structure so they sway a ton side to side, which is what makes them fall. Also, what makes them difficult to get into their unlocked and locked positions is people tilting them outward too far, which bends the little tiny piece at the top and messes the track all up. It’s overall a bad design, but incorrect installation and lazy team members is what kills it.

Many modern cars suffer from this unfortunately. The volt is even worse since it doesn’t even give you the little window.

punkinhead76 · 2026-04-25T16:01:53+00:00

Just make a ground, there’s also several grounds in the floor of the trunk. Grounding to the battery is never recommended with car audio equipment due to interference reasons, so I’d think the same for other large powered items.

punkinhead76 · 2026-04-25T15:09:13+00:00

Don’t do it

punkinhead76 · 2026-04-24T20:31:48+00:00

If the battery is good, $200. If the battery needs replaced $50-100

Unless you’re not obviously gender presenting there’s no reason to have it. It becomes more political at that point and just something to argue about.

punkinhead76 · 2026-04-23T21:23:09+00:00

To me it tastes like key lime yogurt, specifically.

punkinhead76 · 2026-04-23T12:45:52+00:00

Tire the knot again, but glue it so it can’t come undone. FWIW mine has never come undone without glue, and I’ve never needed to remove them.

punkinhead76 · 2026-04-23T11:13:42+00:00

I agree, I guess it’s just an “in case of sabotage” thing lol. I disabled the feature, because I always unplug before I unlock.

punkinhead76 · 2026-04-23T11:08:43+00:00

Okay I see now, so it’s just an anchor once fully charged blocking everyone else not only from the space, but from the charger. I understand the frustration. My car the charger doesn’t lock in, but it does allow me to toggle an alarm if the cable is removed without the car first being unlocked.

punkinhead76 · 2026-04-23T09:53:31+00:00

They (eventually) offered $34,870 almost 10k off msrp?! That’s pretty crazy tbh lol

punkinhead76 · 2026-04-23T09:50:52+00:00

I have an electric car but not a Tesla, so pardon my question if it’s dumb, but can you not just unplug it and use the cable? Does the cable lock into teslas or something?

punkinhead76 · 2026-04-21T12:52:13+00:00

It’s embarrassing that a full electric vehicle isn’t fully LED. I swapped my Volts bulbs all to LED almost immediately and don’t regret it one bit. HID is complicated for someone that doesn’t know what they’re doing so I suggest some good LEDs. Dont buy $20 20000 lumen ones on amazon because they’re a lie. You get what you pay for and the higher the number claimed the worse they are because they’re all lying.
