    No, its $20/mo for membership. 24/7 access. Yes, safety racks. A cut...reduction in body fat. Leaning down, basically.

    My path continues. Currently 230# BW, 5'10.75" height. Considering a cut at this point. Strength is decent for someone who doesn't compete, etc. and has a fulltime job not involving fitness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyA5p1sMp8w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr6ZODZ55Xs...

    CX-70 debut information, pictures, discussion

    If I had to trade my ev6 gt, it would be for an X3M Comp. The B and S 58 engines are total monsters. I was hoping the CX70 would be similar to an X3M40i. The transmission is a disaster, and it seems the car is just a cx90 with the rear seat removed. All around terrible product.

    This. I've gotten strikes all the way up on hoods. Also hit the windshield with some Stek Dynoflex or Bray. It's saved me more replacements than I can count.

    I bought the Stinger's replacement. 20K miles later, I still smile like crazy. Funnest car I've ever owned. That includes my Z06, 370Z, a few Trans Ams and a modded 5.0 GT from the 80's.

    I agree with you on the squat, it's bothered me. One friend who lifts competitively says redlight. Another guy (owner of the gym, and familiar with competition) says 2/3 judges would have white lighted it. My former trainer says it was a rep. I personally feel that in competition setting, it...

    Went from the 1100# (1105) club to the 1200# club (1205). Body weight around 225. Proud of it even if its nothing special for many. 1105(9/6/2023) https://youtu.be/hxs3u8dvT8I?si=MG-YtVUfRA8F-K9h 1205(10/31/2023) https://youtu.be/TyA5p1sMp8w?si=QC6MkPmdKTfkr4fl

    Your thoughts on engine build quality over the years

    Engines over the years have gone more and more for diminishing returns on power and efficiency. This means lighter parts, smaller bearing surfaces, less material, etc. It is my opinion that "overall", you will not see the life out of a 2023 engine that you will from a 2003 engine. I think in the...

    Current Mazda owner needs a luxury car as well

    Acura MDX ASPED ADVANCE TYPE S https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYQceVGfxDM Mazda CX90 whatever the top trim is with the I6 engine. Don't get the PHEV like in this review, but it DOES show the car well. The I6 actually propells it well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UceXm2i6SOM Demonstration...

    Well, my 1080TI I think was dying. I got this screen a few times... Ss reluctantly, I replaced it with a 4060Ti. It uses a TON less power, and benchmarks out a hair better. Here is my original system benchmark as set up in 2017, then with my 1080Ti in 2019, and today, my 4060Ti. 2017...

    My EV6 GT was in the shop. Long story... Local dealer I took it to, I said it had a rattle in the back. They were convinced a rear shock isolator was bad and replaced the whole assy. It didn't do anything to fix it. Then they told me that the "panels are flopping in the wind hitting the car"...

    1) I found an awesome Kia dealer that could be a BMW dealer if they wanted to. They're that cleanly and legit. 2) I ordered the GT, as I figured it wouldnt have the base model drivetrain quibbles...and it doesn't. 3) I put 700mi on an EV6 Wind. The GT is far more purposeful. Its a completely...

    The vehicle is absolutely phenomenal in every way. The reviews may rip on the 206mi epa rating, but its a real world achievable rating even how I drive, and not in eco mode. Its actually got more range in my experience than my c40 did, rated at 226mi.
