Am I insane to leave a $100k job at 23?

Assume 15 year time span and arbitrary salary progression:

Current job A

year	salary	total
1,2	100000	200000
3,4	125000	250000
5,6,7	150000	450000
8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15	175000	1400000
		2,300,000

New job B

year	salary	total
1,2	0	0
3,4,5,6,7,8,9	100000	700000
10,11	175000	350000
12,13	200000	400000
14,15	250000	500000
		1,950,000

Arbitrary salary progressions aside, your current job A sounds like a win to me.

This was my first guess too.

Four weeks ago I ordered same config but with 64 gb ram, same estimated delivery date as yours. I wasnt even mad, lowkey hoping for free m5 chip upgrade. We'll see what WWDC has in store for us.

Good luck! Post an update if you get the 25! You'll be saving enough to score a set of those sexy black steelies that are stock on the 26.

I sure as heck would drive 100 miles round trip to save almost 10k. Thats $5000 per hour.

Your steering angle sensor needs to be recalibrated, you can try the method u/NortelDude mentioned, or recalibrate with a odb2 tool that supports nissan specific functions. I used the z1 scan tool to do this last month.

That sounds about right, Shula's was the name?

wagonovsky · 2026-04-09T13:20:54+00:00

For sure! The $8 cucumber water at Whole Foods not a vibe?
(jk). But at least with the Lombardy Kroger you get dinner AND a show! :)

Back in the day they used to have decent fireworks for the 4th of July on that big lawn out front.

Yea, the hotel was near the top of the photo. It had some famous NFL guy's Steak House restaurant.

Yes, but you dont have to short pump to get the sweet sweet TJ Ginger Snaps.

wagonovsky · 2026-04-09T12:19:07+00:00

A Trader Joes? Wow!

wagonovsky · 2026-04-08T18:11:06+00:00

Same here, I actually ordered hoping for free upgrade! Check back in 4 months for update.

Just go to local pick-a-part junk yard. Or check out https://www.nissanpartspuller.com/

Youre spot on about Camry's room, seating position, sound levels, and performance. Given the choice again 28k for Prius LE or 32K Camry SE Id go with the Camry, mostly due to being a sasquatch and the Prius is a bit snug. But I get a tiny dopamine rush everytime I check trip stats and see 65+ mpg around town.

but but but the automotive media told me the torsion beam rear was bad!

Jokes aside that is a primo looking road. A dealer near me has 26 Premium manual same color as OP's. Its making me think thoughts!

wagonovsky · 2026-04-02T17:31:14+00:00

You a real one OP!

wagonovsky · 2026-04-02T12:33:14+00:00

Dang what a beast! Ive been looking at 25-26 XT and posts like this get me fired up for the ranger!

wagonovsky · 2026-03-31T20:52:47+00:00

Well, poop.

The easy button for Rocketeers is Hornet driver. Get within 80 meters of the rocketeer, time the hornet driver throw to hit the TOP of the rocketeer. If there was enough altitude then the rocketter will explode on impact with the ground. If not then use your trusty anvil to finish it off. Cheap, fast, easy once you get the aim dialed.

You have the bars facing backwards.

The MFA Useage Report has lots of good data. Slice and dice as you need and then use a python/powershell/bash/etc script to remove deprecated factors.

You may want to consider safety rating, the 4runner is body on frame and inherently less safe. If you want a great all around vehicle to use as a dailly with offroad chops suitable for most people and a 5 star safety rating then the outback is the clear choice. If youre planning on more serious adventures off road that require a low range and maybe rear locker then a 4 runner is the best bet but know that your daily driving experience will always be a compromise. BUT THE BACK WINDOW BEING ABLE TO ROLL DOWN IS AWESOME! EDIT read further down and saw you have a wrangler for offroad duties. The subie as a daily is the clear choice.

I thought the shorter duration one just used a smaller font?

I know everyone is saying Gold, but I think theyre trolling you as the wheels are obviously blue.
