    Thinking of taking my wife to Key West next year. Recommendations from those who've been there?

    Fly into Panama City and rent a place in Inlet Beach or Rosemary beach (about 20-30 minutes west of Panama City airport). We just did this a couple weeks ago and it was beautiful. Beaches weren't too crowded and our house was awesome. Our house had beach chairs, umbrellas, beach games, and a...

    Finally have a build date!

    Damn, that's awesome. Congrats on your Bronco. We are waiting for literally the exact same vehicle (color, lux, hard top, vinyl seats, rubber floors, etc) for the wife. We just ordered in September, so I'm in no hurry and don't expect it anytime soon - probably next year. Enjoy man!

    To Delete or Not (Diesel)

    Doesn't surprise me because the truck you're referring to is a L5P. Completely different and much more difficult to delete/tune than a LML. Thousands of deleted LML's out there running for hundreds of thousands of problem-free miles deleted. Only a handful of L5P's cuz of the cost and...

    To Delete or Not (Diesel)

    I have a 2015 GMC Duramax that I've had since it had 12K miles on it. I use the truck to go to the gym, grocery store, hunting, road trips, and pull our trailer to go camping about 10X a year as well. It gets used for everything, but mainly it's being driven around town for everyday/normal...

    experience on in ground pools

    We are doing the plans to build our pool right now. Can't wait to have it done. But living in the Phoenix area, it's almost a must-have.

    Time to refinance?

    A couple weeks ago we locked at 2.875% on a 15 year with 3K in closing costs. It woulda been 2.5% if we didn't do a cash out re-fi, but we took 35K out of the house to put in a pool. We coulda bought it back down to 2.5% with the cash-out, but the costs were outrageous and just didn't make sense.

    Manufacturer 84 at 0%

    The interiors of Toyota and Nissan still look like they belong in something made in 2005. Terrible.

    Tampa vs Phoenix

    I've been in the northwest Phoenix area for 14 years now and I really like it. Housing and cost of living is relatively cheap. I'm 4 hours from Vegas. 5 hours from the beach. In the summers if I get too tired of the heat, I'm 2 hours from a 30 degree drop to nice weather in Flagstaff or...

    Best affordable sedan that fits rear facing carseat

    Another vote for a '14+ TDI Passat. We have one and wouldn't trade it for any other commuter car mentioned here. You simply won't get another car w/ the fuel mileage and interior space a Passat will get for you. And they're friggin' cheap! I would say the only downside to owning one is the...

    UGR TT Huracan goes 0-200mph in 7 seconds!

    Holy balls...that was friggin' nuts. I can't even imagine what it feels like to accelerate that quickly.

    Jay Leno’s Garage - 2020 Corvette

    I love the way it looks. I definitely don't hear a "performance" exhaust tho. lol

    TOP GUN: Maverick

    First movie I'm actually excited to see in a long time. Like others on here, the original Top Gun inspired me to possibly go down the fighter pilot path. I never ended up pursuing it tho.

    Anyone ever attend a Citizens Police Academy program in their town/city?

    I don't think we have anything like that in Arizona. We have the Explorer program for kids, but that's all I'm aware of. Like someone else mentioned, you could just go thru an academy and become a reserve, but that's obviously another level of commitment. Or you could always just watch Live...

    Used car dealership profits

    How can you see the wholesale/auction prices? I'm currently in the market for one of the VW Passat TDI's that had the emissions fix done. A bunch of dealerships across the nation bought them from auctions and I'd like to know the range of prices they bought them from these auctions.

    Whipple Cobra with Borla Stingers

    I think he means you're going to kill that clutch if you don't stop riding it between every shift.

    New "Mom-mobile" needed: opinions needed

    Go rent her a Tahoe or Yukon for a few days. She'll get used to the size quickly and won't look back. We have a Yukon w/ 135K on it and it drives exactly the same as it did when I bought it with 30K on it.

    New "Mom-mobile" needed: opinions needed

    Chevy Tahoe/GMC Yukon. Tons of room, reliable, nice interior, and close to your price range. Easy choice.

    Summer Temps!!

    It's definitely hot but anything over 110 is just the same to me. It's miserable. While I enjoy living in Arizona for a handful of reasons, the "3 months of misery" and "beautiful the rest of the year" is complete BS. It's effing hotter than hell here from April thru the end of September...

    2018 Expedition

    Not a fan. They need a complete re-design of the Expedition to compete with the Tahoe and Yukon.

    Lets see those trucks!

    Thanks! You'll love the new ones. I know we never buy a truck for great gas mileage, but it does suck getting around 12mph all the damn time. My brother in law has a Cummins and he averages around 20. He also doesn't have 37" tires on his truck though (that's not helping me). I have read a...

    It's not a Ford but I'm not picky on the make when it comes to trucks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
