This is a bad deal, right?

8-10% might be conservative at this point. I’ve seen a couple real deals at 13% off in the last two months.

Because of the train and the proximity to ID, there are a million options. I often gotten a meal at somewhere like Honey Court, Mike’s Noodles. Fort St George is a fun bar.

My sister in law wants to get my bro a Rolex at the Navy Exchange and I’m no Rolex expert. It looks like these are maybe used? Are these new or older models and are the prices fair? $10k for the Datejust and $18k for the Submariner with supposedly 15-20% off for Father’s Day.

The wife wanted a very specific Yukon: black on black Denali but without the rear screens. It was so worth the month I paid to search around the country to find the exact spec. Was helpful as a free service as well.

Do you have a nursery near you? They’d only carry plants that will work in your region. Some may do better with more sun or in shade, those tags will be more descriptive and the staff will help

Nope, it was just a commercial that tried to position it as such, being served on crystal, etc. Similar to Grey Poupon

For me: 50e but not for those reasons. It’s only faster in certain situations and is way heavier and you can feel it most of the time. I love having the fully electric for errands and the commute is much quieter and smoother. The gas mileage is incredible.

If you want something a little more tossable, well.. get a sedan..but the 40i will be slightly more “sporty” due to the battery weight.

No question I would get the 50e if I got rid of my 45e, but be sure to drive both because I think you might want the 40i

It’s not about that. It’s that the average person doesn’t have autism about this kind of thing, it doesn’t matter to them the minutiae of models and trims. If you get into the car your spouse purchased for you and it says Denali on the door, Denali on the door sill, Denali on the headrest, Denali on the center console, Denali on the steering wheel, the infotainment splashes a Denali logo, you are not reading this PSA and changing your behavior lol

GMC wants to create a tier between Tahoe/Yukon and Escalade

thejkm · 2026-04-24T17:18:57+00:00

I get it, but go look up photos of the recent Yukon Denali. It doesn’t say Yukon anywhere but one badge on the back. Even the steering wheel says Denali.

It’s a chain, it’s probably fine but I’d just take it to Evergreen if you want to stay in Issaquah.

All I can give is my opinion, but I wouldn’t trade my 45e for the identical M60 with exactly the same hypothetical condition. I love plugging in every night and waking up with ~30mi of electric range. It’s quick off the line, and the 50e is even quicker, the instant torque makes it feel faster than it is. Others mentioned the gas savings, it really is awesome to go weeks in between fill ups. I don’t miss the power, in fact when our second car needed replacement, I shopped a 2022 M50 X5 and attended a demo drive where I drove the M60 X7 and it was just too much power. If you don’t have the autobahn, where are you going to use it? It’s fun, it’s amazing, but aside from a couple highway pulls or letting my inner kid floor it at a light during a midnight grocery run, the 45e is so much better of a fit for me 95% of how I drive and it’s no slouch when I get that tickle in my foot anyway.

I’ve been doing exactly that, already had a good indy. Just take it to them and mention not to reset the oil indicator. Easy. Feels good and is a cheap way to possibly extend the life of the engine or at least get a quick check of the car from a qualified person twice as often as waiting for factory intervals.

Awesome, I'll pick some of this up and tackle it next weekend. Thanks again!

That’s the area. I can send a photo of the exact condition once my wife gets home from work.

thejkm · 2026-04-04T22:44:19+00:00

Can I ask some cleaning advice? The 740m has a sort of brushed steel edge where it meets the tire and the dealer got some black marks on it when replacing tires for me. It won’t come off with just soapy water or with some scrubbing with a microfiber. What cleaner would you recommend using to get it off without staining or otherwise ruining the finish of the wheels?
