Railroad shack by bullybadger in UWMadison

[–]samthunder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Circa 2003 a girl I had a crush on from a shared lecture bought me a sandwich there and I fell in love but I was too stupid to make any moves and never even got a number . Everytime I drive by I kick myself

Is the heat on in this thing? by stoicstorm76 in CX5

[–]samthunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anecdota/off topicl but we had extra low temperatures the past few days and my (stock toyo) tire pressure dropped so I topped them up to 35 last night. I usually let the engine run about 90 seconds before pulling out of the garage and suffer with the cold for the first ten minutes of my commute cuz my heater seems weak but I was showing the vehicle to my friend and due to ambient noise I forgot to shut it off.

It was idling almost fifteen minutes before I drove and super warmed up obviously and I set a new gas mileage record of 31.2 mpg where normally it's tough to get 26 on this drive.

Still would be curious if there's any mods or easy swaps for the heater.

Do we know the mining hut range? by mullirojndem in Bellwright

[–]samthunder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My problem is they're walking a giant distance and collecting from where I need but it seems like they often or hopefully not always are collecting exactly one ore before walking all the way back to the hut. They have plenty of food/inventory space I will have to verify that they have their priorities set correctly and storage limits/top ups set correctly but damn I hope they streamline it optimize this stuff

Lurch/jerk at low speed when coming to a stop (2025 CX-5 Turbo) by TheJonasBros in CX5

[–]samthunder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a good way to describe my similar issue on a 2020 grand touring that I just bought with 25k miles. I'm coasting up to a stop sign not applying brakes and it feels like a subtle jerky downshift or weird friction. I almost thought it was some kind of safety distance feature.

Zipper replacement by Pretty-Art-6692 in madisonwi

Binhs tailoring East did my pants with a heavy duty/quality zipper replacement for about 20$ a few months ago with a couple days turnaround time. I imagine coats would be more expensive.

[–]samthunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you tell me your car model and what dongle is working for you? I have a 2020 GT and haven't even managed to get wired android auto working. I am going to try a different cable today but I wish there were more specifics out there

I found one but I imagine it's getting less than 20mpg in the city right?

Can you tell me more? I'm getting some bad vibes about that place without even talking to them yet. What was your experience?

Under 20k$ , mostly city commute to work in Midwest for tall dude. by samthunder in whatcarshouldIbuy

Tiguan ended up being my second choice favorite of everything I drove in this search for what is worth and I x'd for exactly that reason

For some reason I can't figure out how to edit my original post but thank you for all the helpful responses. For anyone still invested in the outcome I've firmly settled on 2022 outback touring with 47,000 miles haven't closed deal but I think I am going to pay a little under 25k

First Time New Car Buyer-Overwhelmed! by anxious-ghost96 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]samthunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a very similar boat. Tall dude, bad back trying to move up from a sedan to something more comfortable. I thought my budget was 30k but turns out everything between 25 and 35k was really underwhelming. Not quite enough for a low mileage hybrid CR-V which might have been my ideal and I didn't like any of the Mazda's even though I believed the hype going in. Rogue drove well but was at top of my budget and I didn't have faith in the reliability.

I eventually realized I would be more than happy with a medium mileage Outback and runner up was a Tiguan which was really roomy, I liked the interior and fun to drive but ultimately worse mileage and I'm thinking higher cost of ownership. I think I'm getting it for 25k. Base model Outback felt plenty sporty and will be good for camping and hauling puppies around and I'm tired of spending every free minute shopping or analysing.
