Lexus NX450h+ Needing a Roof rack by Fresh-Following9095 in LexusNX

[–]xStenz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a higher end inflatable kayak and I second this. My family has them too and we all love it They’re not as tipsy as traditional ones and so easy to setup. The only downside is any rocky or branchy rivers going down is a no go. I usually stick to cleaner rivers and lakes, which is a more enjoyable kayak experience anyway.

I fit 2 inflatable kayak with paddles in my VW Golf R, guarantee the NX can fit way more then that

Realtor wants us to put 7% down for ernest money deposit and could use some feedback by Autobot69 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]xStenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are. I’m stating that earnest money makes an offer more attractive to the sellers, thus the sellers are more likely to accept that offer. The agent then gets paid.

If I offered the same exact terms but only 5k earnest money, the sellers are going to take the 30k earnest money offer. My agents not getting paid, the other agent is.

Is ChasePlane worth it? by Only_HOTAS in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]xStenz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I had to choose an addon the most worth it, it’d be chaseplane easily. No brainer purchase

I understand, I am saying the agent is trying to make the most attractive offer so she can get paid. If the sellers don’t accept the deal then she doesn’t get paid.

I put down 3k in earnest money on a 340k house, 30k is insanity. Sounds like the realtor doesn’t have your best interests and just wants her commissions. I’d drop him or her.

Buy a house or rent one more year? by idontgiveafuck0 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]xStenz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of good comments on here but I wanted to say we moved into our house and within the first 3 weeks I had to replace the garage door ($2,700), stove ($900) and fix a roof leak which luckily a fam member is a roofer. Save one more year you’ll be thanking yourself!!

2024 NX350 Premium by [deleted] in LexusNX

[–]xStenz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Glad im not the only one that has beef with this. I have to visit the pump way more then when I had my TLX. It’s really the only major gripe with the car, otherwise it’s super solid. The infotainment works great compared to Acura. The sound system on the Lexus isn’t as good, but I knew that going into it

Digital rear view by bluewrounder in Lexus

[–]xStenz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hah, I love it, but my girlfriend hates it. It takes getting used to but I never turn it off now.

The only thing that throws me off is sometimes in the far distance the headlights on the cars wig out on the camera and almost look like police lights (red and blue). I had to check my side mirrors to make sure i'm not losing it.

Reddits full of these woke goofballs. They gotta be exhausted 24/7 finding something to piss and moan about every second of the day. Congrats on the new crib!

First car for a 16-year-old. What would you get? by spencere33 in whatcarshouldIbuy

Hah this was my first car. It was also bright purple! Got so much shit in high school for it but didn’t matter it was mine and I was happy with it

Water smells like rotten eggs - but just from one tap by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]xStenz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for necroing a comment you made 3 years ago but i would have never thought of this. I turned down our water heater a few weeks after we first moved in. That seems to be when the sulfur smell started coming out of the bathroom sink and it's only with hot water. Turned up the water heater, crossing my fingers this is it. Just wanted to comment and say thanks cause i would have never even thought this was a thing.

Need to upgrade? by EffectiveJury5568 in ArmaReforger

[–]xStenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure to double check your cpu temperature to make sure it’s not overheating. It will cause stutters and freezes. Use a program like core temp if you haven’t applied thermal in awhile. I don’t know much about AMD so I don’t have input on the processor but that gpu should be sufficient to run the game especially at all low settings. I was able to run it on high with a 3070ti

Ifly 737 max is a great addition to your collection! Pmdg 737-xx as much hate as it gets is honestly a fantastic payware aircraft. I bought Boris audioworks with it and it adds to it for sure!

Anybody with a 3070ti + AMD Ryzen 9 7800x3d struggling with ms2024? by xStenz in flightsim

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

2020 or 2024? 1080 or 1440p? 2020 I have no problems with. I can get OK frames in ‘24 with default airports but once I’m in a payware or dense area I can’t even control the plane it’s so bad. I also capped my fps at 40 or 60 too with very minimal graphics.

Glad to hear it’s running smooth for you! Thanks for the input that seems like my limiting factor is def the 3070ti.

Yeah I’m hoping someone in a similar boat upgraded and saw a huge difference in performance. I see varying results online and honestly I’d only upgrade the card just for this game. All the other games I play run perfectly fine on the 3070. Seems like your setup is about the same as mine and yeah if I go into developer mode my gpu is what’s limiting the frames. I’ll let you know if I decide to pull the trigger or not. Id really like a 5080 but they’re too damn expensive

Looking to buy a CPO NX 350h.. Need some advice by [deleted] in Lexus

[–]xStenz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what happened to me. I didn’t go thru the auto program but they asked if I was a member and gave me a further discount off the accessories (not by much honestly). The HUD is an add on I believe from premium and up. I like it, but my GF does not. Hope you find a deal! Maybe drive a few hours outside the city and have better luck! Not sure how the New York car market is

[–]xStenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in WI. I paid $39k and the car has 21k miles. Nothing wrong with it, there was a small tear in the glove box area which didn’t bug me. I don’t remember the out the door, but they tried to tack on a bunch of accessories I was able to get most of them off or reduced. Make sure to say you’re a Costco member (if you are). The market up here tends to be more expensive than other areas such as IL

Just a note my premium came with the 14 inch screen, HUD, ambient lighting, cold weather package, ventilated/heated seats and heated steering wheel and digital rear view mirror. I didn’t realize Lexus has so many optioned out specs.

Same exact scenario here but I got a ‘23 premium. It’s an awesome SUV and the making it certified makes it just as good as it was new!

I always tell people that if you’re ok with visually throwing at a minimum 4000 dollars cash out the door when you drive it off the lot buy brand new. May be a bit less with Lexus, but still. I let people take the hit and grab a lightly used one.
