I got a nice 2004 Z71 Tahoe for $5000 recently. Runs beautifully and is in great condition. I would never, ever buy a new vehicle especially a new SUV. The $50k+ saved is more than worth driving a vehicle that doesn’t look like the vehicles on the dealer lot. This may be an extreme case but man....you can still save…

I don’t have much to defend it. Everything isn’t created equal I guess. Maybe it being the first letter matters more in this case? No clue.

Unfortunately, the org that created the GIF decided they wanted the media attention/controversy they knew it would bring by saying it should have the “J” sound so it really doesn’t matter what anyone thinks it should be. I will continue pronouncing it the way I feel makes the most sense and that is by using the same…

So, most of those out of warranty fixes I would have done myself on my vehicles (except some of the most recent stuff which seem to be pretty specialized). Can you get aftermarket or OEM Tesla parts to do these fixes on your own? I mean, fixing a switch yourself can cost about $10 vs at least $100 just to have the…

MSRP on the Xbox One X is $499 so I am going to go with that.

I wonder why they changed the dpad? I like the dpad from the current controller. I don’t care for that round dpad thing that looks like they borrowed it from the elite controller.  Unless it is swappable like the elite controller but I doubt it.  I guess I should buy a couple controllers to stock up.

I played Classic again for a bit but didn’t renew after a month. Coming back to WoW, even in its classic form, was too familiar. It’s like everyone knows the game too well. Content felt trivial day 1. Maybe the content is just as hard but everyone knows the absolute best way to do everything so it just felt easy and…

I added it to my wishlist. It looks very interesting but the bugs have kept me from buying it. I will keep an eye on it for sure.

Edit

Not going to be much.  It went right over my head.

Wow.  Yeah, you clearly didn’t pull out in front of anyone and slam on your brakes there.

Wow, that makes me want to ride with a camera. I’ll have to look into that. Sounds like/hopefully your situation works out soon.

I have an XSR900 which probably has similar electronics (it is basically a MT-09 with different styling and slightly different riding position) and it is really nice. You have a lot of control over the electronics. If you want to do wheelies you can but at the same time with a flip of the switch the bike will keep…

I’m fine as long as I can power wheelie.

I tried one and it was great except the track pad became briefly unresponsive every once in awhile and searching the issue shows it goes back a couple years telling me they’re not going to fix it so I ended up returning it. Dell, Apple, HP and many others have had good track pads for over a decade so it’s not…

I think it is the battery that is the issue in older vehicles. Big cost, you cannot replace it yourself and it’s not something you can put off if you want to be able to get any sort of range. The power trains of electric vehicles may last longer (other than the battery) but a gas powered vehicle that is well…

There are a few things I don’t like about electric vehicles. First, when I “fill up” now it takes about 3 minutes and pumps are available everywhere. I also do repairs and maintenance on my own vehicles to save money and I am not sure how feasible that is on electric vehicles at this point. I believe electric…

At least it can be replaced. Some consoles, like the Vita, will not operate if the battery is dead even though it’s plugged in (or you remove it I suppose) and it’s not super easy to replace compared to simply removing the battery cover. I don’t look forward to the day Nintendo Switch batteries start failing.
