I’m considering an Ioniq 5 as a second vehicle for me and my wife (other vehicle is a 2024 Toyota RAV4 Prime). I am also considering the Toyota BZ(4x)/Subaru Solterra but my wife is leaning towards the Hyundai. Reliability is a huge factor for me (see ICCU anxiety below), although I understand Hyundai has several advantages over the Toyota/Subaru EV tech.

From what I've learned from this sub and elsewhere, the 2023 SEL model is preferred over the 2024 due to some feature downgrades. So I've been looking at used 2023 SELs under 40k miles and plan to pay cash if buying used. I suppose I am open to 2022's, too, if there is a reason to consider that if the mileage is acceptable. We test drove

I just leased a Prime XSE but plan to buyout with cash ASAP (thanks to this sub for educating me on it). I generally turn down every upsell from the dealer but they dropped the price of the car care maintenence plan significantly when I was clearly not interested. Since it's the weekend, I have until midday tomorrow, possibly Tuesday, to add it. They are offering 5y/60k miles of maintenance for $834 (I can't recall what the pre-discount price was). The car is already covered for 2y/24k, so this adds 3y/36k for $834. The Toyota recommended maintenance is every 6 months with a more substantial service at 30k and 60k. I probably won't get to 60k by the end of the 5 years but it seems the 2x/yea

My wife and I found a nice German shepherd in Eliot without tags. Animal services won't pick up until 8am, vets are closed, and we have been calling around to find other options. Out dog really doesn't like this one, so we can't keep this dog in or around our tiny apartment until the morning. Any ideas? Anyone missing a shepherd?

Hi all - this is the first Passover in PDX we're hosting and the Jewish food scene here seems fairly barren. Baker & Spice has nothing DF. Ben & Esther's may have something later this week. I've read here that New Seasons may have some Passover items next week but I don't know if they'll be GF/DF. I don't think I can't justify Zupan's prices for anything if that's an option. Any tips on GF/DF Jewish options in the area (especially NE, but I'll drive) would be very much appreciated! (Edit: FYI, I should have mentioned that I know about Petunia's and Gluten Free Gem, so I'm not short on GF/DF options in general, but am looking specifically for Passover desserts. Sorry!)

Since we're al

I have a 2017 Chevy Volt. Costco has a special right now where I can get 4 Michelin Energy Saver with installation for $713.88, or I could get 4 BFGoodrich Advantage Control tires with installation for $629.88.

They both have the same 65,000-mile warranty, and they are both all-season tires. The speed rating doesn't matter to me. the BFG has a slightly higher load index (95 to 91). Michelin has a UTQG of 480 B B while the BFG is 600 B A. I believe the Michelin is made for electric cars like this, so it would be a more efficient tire (no more than 10% from what I've heard). I have also heard that the BFG is made with harder rubber, so it would likely be a little louder of a ride when the ele

I have a shower with a center drain. Taking off the grill/cover shows a water line approximately 10 inches below the tile surface. I have snaked the drain approximately 15-20 feet in (I think to where the pipe hits a 90 degree corner but I'm not sure), and have cleaned out everything substantial that seems to be in the way up to that point. However, that visible water line hasn't moved significantly if at all. This wouldn't concern me on its own (although maybe it should) but there is a smell in the shower that isn't fully going away even when I clean everything that is visible.

Am I being stubborn and I should snake the drain further, or is there something I'm missing? I've never had to sn

Hi everyone! My wife and I are about to buy an Almost Heaven Huntington canopy barrel sauna (fits 4-6) and we need to decide on the final details. We are pretty set on rustic red cedar (the clear is too expensive) but aren't settled on the vertical vs horizontal bench design, the door, or what accessories to add.

I talked to an AH rep and he explained the benefit of the vertical bench design (more airflow which is useful if you're on the bench without a towel). It would come with 7 planks per side instead of 4 and it costs $333 (so I'm paying that much for 6 extra pieces of 6' long 2x4 cedar).

We don't want the clear glass door
