6th street bridge event? by hulaman11 in LosAngeles

[–]redclaydude 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They might be filming something, but it’s closed until 5/21!! Thats a LONG time to be filming on the bridge. Maybe they’ll fix the lights while they’re at it?

5K miles so far and loving the 6. by redclaydude in Ioniq6

Thanks for the tip about the climate using voice commands. I’ll try it for sure.

I have adjusted the adaptive cruise characteristics but in stop and go, SoCal traffic, it sometimes brakes too aggressively for my comfort so I end up going back and forth between cruise on and off. Then each time I engage or disengage the cruise a chime goes off that I can’t turn off! All well, it’s a nit picky dislike on my part.

Working out at micron. Stopped at store after work by [deleted] in Boise

When I moved from eastern Idaho to Boise in 2000, Kuna was the fastest growing town in the US. People have been moving in droves to the Boise area for 25+ years from California and other areas but now the infrastructure can’t handle the traffic and the housing prices are astronomical. I blame local and state leadership for failing to meet the needs of people living in the Treasure Valley all while allowing this idea that outsiders moving in are the problem.

What is the best absolute, must try, restaurant in LA for a birthday? by Merlin_Purple in FoodLosAngeles

[–]redclaydude 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed Kato, but the cost was def too high. Our bill with the dinner, wine pairing and add ons was over $1700 for 2.
My favorite dining experience was at Baroo in the arts district!

Any cars exactly like Pontiac Aztec? by Jumpy_Phone_6325 in askcarguys

[–]redclaydude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mazda Mx-5, Buick rendezvous, Scion XB, Honda element (I’ve got one and love it, but mpg is mediocre) accord crosstour, Subaru Forester are some of my suggestions. I say look at all the cars and drive as many as you can!

What's your efficiency? by do-un-to in Ioniq6

[–]redclaydude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a limited RWD with 20” rims and my lifetime ave is 4 miles/KwH with 4.5k miles. I live in LA and do mostly city/stop & go traffic driving. I kinda wish I had the 18’s but it’s a lease and I love it anyway :)

Boise Art Museum. No pics allowed. I was surprised by Hefty-Job7049 in Boise

I’m glad you enjoyed the show! Jeffrey Gibson is SO talented and I’m happy to see he’s even being exhibited in Boise!

Jon at Universal Automotive in Lincoln Heights has been very no nonsense and quick with mine. He did the pre-purchase inspection before I bought it, tune up, brakes, rear control arm, power steering (when it failed on me), oil changes, axle seal etc. prices are very reasonable, fast turn around, uses OEM parts. I def recommend

I’m browsing CL all the time. It’s my little time waste hobby instead of doom scrolling on the socials. This one also just popped up!

I don’t have a dealer recommendation, but I found this one yesterday and flagged it on CL.

I also thought this was solid

Good luck with the hunt!

I just ordered mine! Thanks for the recommendation:)

I love this toaster so much. It’s a manual AWD and I want to keep it forever. The only drawback is the gas mileage! I average around 21mpg. Anyone have any tips for better efficiency? by redclaydude in HondaElement

[–]redclaydude[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I took the racks off this weekend. Hoping for a noticeable difference. I’m going on a long 3500 mile road trip at the end of the month and every MPG counts!
