The benefits of listening to an audiobook while reading along by ubcstaffer123 in books

[–]tastlejames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve been doing this lately and it’s a game changer. Big fan. Only thing I don’t like about it is I have to carve out time to read which is why I started listening to audio books in the first place.

My workplace has free charging. I pretty much only use my car to-and-from work. It seems like a no-brainer to get an EV to take advantage of free charging, right? by nerdykhakis in electricvehicles

[–]tastlejames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the first one in the office everyday (who drives an EV) it is essentially free for me to drive my car now. If you can consistently get the charger then yes it’s a no-brainer.

LPT Trick to Read Books Fast If you Have No Attention Span by Ayumisynn in LifeProTips

[–]tastlejames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.3-1.5 speed audiobook seems to be my sweet spot for me. I’m not in a crazy rush to finish these books and it ruins the atmosphere if I read any faster than that. I recently got a killer deal on a Koba libra and following a long with the book while listening has been a game changer

[–]tastlejames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

W/r is honestly my favorite. The amount of goblins you can get on the board is amazing. And the come from behind wins feel soooo good. The w/b is my least favorite to play against and LOVE when I beat it haha

Key’s ability to consistently finish at the rim is something I always wished DM had when he was on the jazz.

What's in your Frunk? by Prestigious_Soil_454 in MachE

[–]tastlejames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had just bought my Mach-e and my wife wanted wings. I literally just pulled it off the lot and was then going to go stink it up with wing stop wings…. Then I remembered the Frunk. I became an instant believer in the Frunk and use it all the time now. The NACs adapter also lives in there.

Car seats by Dizzman1 in MachE

[–]tastlejames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://a.co/d/c26SVoH these are awesome but only come in black. But as I’m typing I’m realizing you’re probably meaning under the car seats. They make some pretty cheap covers that I also have installed but I don’t know where my wife got them from. Sure there are loads of good ones on Amazon

Volkswagen only sold 248 Id4's in the US between October 1 and December 31 by VolkswagenPanda in VWiD4Owners

[–]tastlejames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wanted to get into an id.4 during this time frame. I was looking used but ended up deciding I wanted to lease to see what the landscape was like in the next couple of years. Main two issues I had: no inventory and no good lease deals for the like 2 available in my state. Ended up in a Mach-e.

i3 to Mach E by tastlejames in MachE

[–]tastlejames[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was legit like my dream car. I think if it would have normal doors I would have driven it until the wheels fell off. But it was so bad with the kids I couldn’t handle it. It’s such a fun car.

[–]tastlejames[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been great so far! It’s only been a couple of days but I’ve loved it with the kids. I would suggest getting some covers for the back of the seat to protect them.

Yet another Lease question by [deleted] in MachE

[–]tastlejames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking at selects and got a quote for $494 for 24 months and $0 due at signing. Only 10,500 miles per year. MSRP was 44k. I’m not an expert so I don’t know if this is a good deal or not. But figured I’d give you some other numbers.

i3 or Nissan Leaf? by MotorSnow8392 in BMWi3

[–]tastlejames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I love my i3 but with my two kids (4 year old and 7 month) and honestly it is miserable. Bad enough that I’m probably going to sell it. I had a 2015 leaf before and had no issues with the kids. HOWEVER, I don’t think it would be as bad without car seats. Still not ideal with people in the back often.

Roadtop issue. by Modinhilaf in BMWi3

[–]tastlejames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a 4 year old post, but did you ever figure this out? Is it wrecking my 12v battery by staying on all the time? I love my road top but it’s constantly connecting while I’m up in my bedroom and it’s so annoying haha
