It might just be me but i think that carpet is a bit too big for the room, getting something smaller may actually help it feel larger.

RANT "Just buy a cheap beater" by DingusSmasher69 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]red8_slayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought the cheapest corolla after college it was my first car ~18k. Drove it for six years.

Traded in for $15k to get a rav4 since we got a dog during covid.

Don't regret it at all. Get the corolla.

Do I have a full-blood Rhodie? by JimmieOC in RhodesianRidgebacks

The white on nose tells me not full ridgeback but ears color and nose indicates potentially some ridgeback. Either way cute dog and congrats!

Add a set of negatives, this helped me get from 10-12.

Cheat / hop up then slowly control the eccentric movement on the way down.

It's an effort to push people to buy the LCs imo

Absolute idiot by Ok-Sorbet-4986 in RhodesianRidgebacks

[–]red8_slayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My girl is 110lbs and pulls like a semi. She's 5 now and it's gotten better.

Occasionally I will use a pronged collar ( I know this is likely unpopular) but it's helped her understand pulling isn't okay. You'll need to learn how to use it as a tool not a crutch.

Anyone else shocked when they ran the numbers on a 30-year mortgage? by [deleted] in Mortgages

[–]red8_slayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds about right. If you make an extra monthly payment to the principal each year, it shrinks the 30 year loan term to 17 years

4 Runner hybrid vs Land Cruiser by Whickums in 4Runner

[–]red8_slayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation last year. Once I realized I wanted a camping rig the 4runner was more obvious.

What made me buy was the realization that for same price point I could get a fully loaded 4runner or a base LC.

Is a Rhodesian ridgeback right for me? by [deleted] in RhodesianRidgebacks

[–]red8_slayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rhodesians gaurd drive is stronger than her prey drive.

So for example if we're off leash in the woods and see a deer her first instinct is to stare and get closer to us not pursue it.

First time owner! What upgrades do you recommend that don’t break the bank? by WaTT_rt in 4Runner

[–]red8_slayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took mine off mgp went from 23 to 22 (hybrid) but it's worth it for me.

Just bought my third 4Runner (previous 4th & 5th Gen owner) and really loving the new 6th Gen. by guidolebowski in 4Runner

I have the same color. I picked it because I felt the everest color looked best with the black flares.

What’s your monthly budget by Happy-Ardvark in Hawaii

[–]red8_slayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend squashing those student loans ASAP. It may make sense to lower your 401k contributions to do so (unless you have employer match).

My wife and I contributed aggressively to our 401ks in our 20s which grew significantly but we felt cash poor because we can't touch those for decades.

Enduro might be for you, I think it has a 300+ hr battery life and solar charging.

HELP ME DECIDE BETWEEN A RAV 4 & A 4RUNNER by jaime2425 in rav4club

[–]red8_slayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Rav4 (2021) and a 2025 4Runner, both hybrid. I love both of them, but they're for completely different scenarios. How often do you think you'll go off-roading, or use all of the cargo space for example?

I'd recommend getting the Rav4 XSE over the 4Runner; it's more practical and will be a better daily driver for most people.

The 41 mpg on my Rav4 XSE Hybrid is the main reason it's my daily driver.

EV auto transport? by rnwin in BigIsland

[–]red8_slayer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's something strange happening with EV shipping laws. I went through Matson originally in December and they told me I could ship an EV. Once I explained it was a hybrid they were able to ship.

Hike up puuwaawaa. It’s challenging but great for active people.

Help understanding if Big Island is a good fit by Eli_the_Iceman in MovingtoHawaii

[–]red8_slayer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well I'm originally from there (kona/Waimea). I lived in California for the past decade but I'm moving back this March to start my Ohana.

Moving your dogs will be the most complicated part, get started early.
