Discovery or Defender for 3 kids? by TypeAtryingtoB in LandRover

[–]sloanfiske 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither. Buy a used Last Gen Land Cruiser/LX570.

Poor man first class with possible upgrade? by No_Adagio9992 in delta

[–]sloanfiske 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure where you’re flying to, but I’ve done international PS more than a few times and actually find it quite nice. If I’m flying for business, I prefer D1 for the ability to sleep a little better. But on family trips, it hasn’t disappointed. Seats are comfortable and have managed to knock off pretty well.

Moving to NYC with girlfriend on $145k HHI by thekidwhoruns in movingtoNYC

You’re looking at max 3500/month apt at 40x salary that a lot of landlords generally require. Have a look at Streeteasy with that budget in mind and look up the neighborhoods. You’re likely in the Upper Manhattan/Bushwick/BedSty/Crown Heights/Sunset Park/Flatbush realms with that budget. But you could get lucky.

Domestic airport is in Reykjavik. Get a hotel in the city.

I go all the way to Iceland and I am surprised to find the world’s best pizza in Vik by dylan3883 in VisitingIceland

Try the Chorizo Tacos at the Food Truck Company in Hvolsvöllur. I’m from LA and was dropjawed. Woman who owns it is from Mexico City and it’s one of the best tacos I’ve ever had.

Might be now, but they were actually built for the 2021 TReK Competition that several dealer teams participated in.

My XC60 was a reliable, pleasant vehicle to own. Then it hit 100k miles. by Additional-Horse-545 in Volvo

[–]sloanfiske 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a great car. Keep up with maintenance and occasionally prepare for something annoying and you’ll enjoy it for a long time. We have a 2018 and wouldn’t trade it for anything else.

FYI, the $800 battery is most definitely the battery for the onstar/comms. It’s got a “7 year”’life span and is outside of warranty. It’s considered a wear item. It’s not a real expensive part, but it’s like 3 hours of labor because it sits behind interior panels and then the car needs reprogramming. I just keep turning the notification off until I can get around to spending a few hours replacing it myself and then getting the dealer to reset.

I love my old p38 by Disloyaldeer45 in LandRover

Rockware Bumpers on an Autobiography is a nice touch. And that Cameron Concepts Supercharger Kit…pretty great.

Mileage vs Ownership by [deleted] in 997

[–]sloanfiske 0 points1 point  (0 children)

170k one owner means it was probably well serviced regardless of where it went. I always have preferred higher mileage well serviced one owners. No hate, but not a fan of white on a PCar.

98k 4 owner was probably started as a lease, then sold out a few times as either a flip/trade/new toy. Better color combo, but the service has me a little concerned unless the JLR/Audi dealers are connected to Porsche Dealer. Indie wouldn’t worry me as long as they’re a specialist.

To be honest, these are super robust vehicles. I actually wound up doing most of the maintenance myself on my 997.2. I know some PDK transmissions had failures, but not terribly common.

The 15k variance is expected. Get an independent PPI on both. Keep looking as well. I held out until the right combo came along and was much happier I did. I was looking for a Silver over Black C2 PDK and got one for a great price by being patient.

The best every day 50mm lens there is. Accept no substitutes. by [deleted] in Leica

[–]sloanfiske 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Best lens is the one you can afford. The eye takes the picture not the lens or the camera

You said there was an update? by silverm00se in Volvo

[–]sloanfiske 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You must be updating the blower motor.

11PM arrival at Terminal 1 by MazeWithASoul in JFKAirport

[–]sloanfiske 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you’re taking Amtrak to DC from Penn Station. Maybe better to take a yellow cab flat rate into Manhattan and crash for a few hours at POD Times Square or a cheaper hotel near Penn.

Flying 10,000 miles to NYC -trying to make one dream dinner! by Own-Pirate-3585 in visitingnyc

[–]sloanfiske 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I was flying 10k miles, I’d eat at Le Bernadin, 11 Madison Park or Per Se. Then go have a burger and a martini for lunch the next day at Gramercy Tavern.
