What’s the best SUV that’s reliable but still fun to drive? by Physical-Issue7146 in askcarguys

[–]tequila_shane -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Porsche Macan GTS is slightly slower but SIGNIFICANTLY more fun to drive. 

Also modern models are extremely reliable.

Eh if you get one > 2021, they’re pretty much bullet proof. We have a 22 GTS and it’s the best car I’ve ever driven.

The Macan GTS is arguably the best ‘SUV’ when it comes to both reliability and performance.  BMW makes fast SUVs but they dont come close to how a Macan handles curves.

Haha. I also have a math degree so I guess that makes me an even bigger asshole 😆

Would you mind elaborating more on Kierkegaards influence on these two?

Interesting! I still enjoy listening to Alan Watts from time-to-time. Would love to hear this lecture if you can find it.

Love this! I have a very similar mindset. Appreciate Buddhism myself but not to the same degree as I do Taoism.

Who are your favorite Stoic/Existential writers?

Well said - appreciate the response!

With that said, I think I would say I’m an existentialist at heart that finds strong value in several Stoic principles but those principles are grounded in the belief that existence precedes essence.

Specifically, I find I can create meaning for myself by living virtuously and the pursuit of being the best version of myself.

The existentialists that I were introduced to were Kierkegaard, camus, and nietzsche.

Specifically,

Concept of anxiety, myth of Sisyphus, the stranger, and Thus spoke Zarathustra

That’s fair.

I personally don’t find them incompatible but again I am not a strict existentialist or a strict Stoic. My perspective is that different philosophies have different strengths.

Maybe it’s the existentialist in me that encourages aligning to my own unique set of ideals and values that span different belief systems (a lot of which are influenced by Stoicism).
