I had lots of fun with my Levante, still love the looking of it and the exhaust sound of it! However, after owning my first F-150 for a year and 4 months with about 12000 miles, I also love my F-150. I am probably the craziest one who switch from Maserati to a truck! I miss my Maserati but also enjoying a lot of my truck!

I have been using this coupon code recently for my lunch at work. I guess it’s pretty healthy and the price is good as well!

We have a claw machine arcade and we have noticed whenever we put up this goose to the machine, our customers go crazy for it and they will be gone in a few hours. Does anyone know why do people love these goose so much?

As we all love our RX, but we have to admit that the truck space is not the best. When you are running our trunk space, would you consider something like this or not? Why?

Hey everyone,
I’m facing a real dilemma with my 2018 Lexus RX 350 and could really use some collective wisdom from this sub.
I’m the original owner—bought it brand new, and we’ve been together for 8 wonderful years and 97,000+ miles. I’ve babied this car, stayed strictly on top of all maintenance, and honestly still love it.
However, time is catching up. Recently, I’ve noticed the ride quality isn't what it used to be. There’s subtle chassis vibration and it just doesn't feel as silky-smooth or solid as it did in its glory days.
Here’s my thought process:
I’m considering selling/trading in the RX 350 and throwing in another $2,000 – $3,000 to buy a 2025 Subaru Outback or a Mazda CX-50 with much lower mileage (around 20k–30k miles).
Option A: Put some money into the RX (suspension overhaul/bushings/struts?) and drive it till the wheels fall off.

Option B: Make the switch now for a newer tech package, lower mileage, and a tighter chassis—even if it means moving away from the Lexus V6 smoothness.

Am I crazy for wanting to part ways with a legendary bulletproof V6 for a newer four-cylinder crossover? Has anyone made a similar switch, or refreshed their RX suspension at around 100k miles and brought that original magic back?
Would love to hear your thoughts, experiences, and brutal honesty!

Got a new standing desk a few months ago, but I didn’t really have a chance to use it until yesterday. I moved it from one office to another office. It was working ok and then suddenly it stopped working, the controller has CFP flashing and the desk can no longer go up or down. Tried to hold on down button to reset it, tried to hold on both up and down buttons and nothing happened! Any suggestions what might be wrong and how can I fix it?

Thanks in advance!

I had not had this high MPG for a long long time since I had it from 2018! It’s still going strong!

What’s your best MPG on the RX?

My gas water heater is a 2018 Bradford White, so it’s about 8 years old now.

Overall it’s still working fine and we haven’t had any issues with hot water, but there are a couple of things that have me wondering if I should replace it before it becomes an emergency.

The T&P (temperature & pressure relief) valve discharged once a few years after it was installed and was replaced.
Recently I’ve noticed rust stains forming around the T&P valve opening (see photos). It doesn’t seem to be actively leaking, but the rust has definitely gotten worse over time.
Part of me says, “If it isn’t leaking, leave it alone.” The other part says I’d rather replace it on my own schedule than come home to a flooded basement.

For those of you with more experience:
Would you replace it now or keep running it?
Does that rust around the T&P opening look like something to worry about?

If you were replacing it today, would you buy another Bradford White, or would you go with something else like Rheem, AO Smith, or another brand?

Just curious what everyone here would do in my situation.

I recently bought an iPhone 17, and I’ve seen a few posts and articles saying that you should avoid using non-Apple USB-C chargers or cables because the pins or charging standards may be different.
I often charge mine using a very basic USB-A to USB-C cable connected to a regular USB power adapter, like the setup in the photo. It charges more slowly than a USB-C fast charger, but otherwise I haven’t noticed any problems.
Is there actually any risk of damaging the battery, charging port, or phone by using this kind of cable regularly? Or is it generally fine as long as the cable and adapter aren’t extremely cheap or damaged?
I’m curious what everyone else uses for everyday charging.

Bought it new back in 2018, and it had been working great with no issues besides regular maintenance. However, recently I noticed the noise when turning over 50MPH. Brought it to a mechanic shop and was quoted both of the wheels bearings need to be replaced for about $800 to $1000 depending whether it needs alignment or not. Back in 2018, I replaced one of the wheels bearings on my 2006 Lexus IS250 when it was about 130xxx miles. For 8 years old TX350 with less than 100k miles, is this normal to replace both of the wheel bearings? Any feedback is appreciated!

I drove from Columbus, OH to Baltimore, MD back and forth yesterday. It was 800 miles and lots of driving! I didn’t realize how bright the headlight was until I watched the picture I took. Super bright and it definitely helped with my night driving experience! Bought it new back in 2018 and closed to 100,000 miles now

Sound quality is ok, but design is cool! Think it would be great to bring it outside for the picnic!
