Why’d you move on from your BMW? Getting too expensive to fix?
I just dropped $4k on replacing the timing chain and valve covers on my 2015 4 series, smh. If that bitch wasn’t paid off I would have traded it for a Honda.

my BMW got totaled in April, hit a fucking muffler or something that looked like a muffler in the road. That shit caused 40k in damage

Just the valve covers was about $1400. Guess inflation caused the increase, lol.
Once they added the timing chain the shit jumped to $4k. I watched some videos online and I can see why they charge so much. That shit is a bitch to change. Requires special tools specific to BMW and all that.
I'm not buying anything right now b lol
Trying to make up for lost time cause of some fuck shit with child support
No
Well
I think I've settled on a 4 runner
Just trying to decide how used it's going to be
But the house is still in play and I wanna try and get it around that time
4 runner is kinda small compared to the Highlander
Currently in a Uber that’s a 4 runner

I had a Highlander as a rental the XSE version I believe it was a '22. Nice ass ride and it had the same interior of a Lexus RX actually it was better and bigger. Better gas than a 4 Runner but that 4 Runner is a great riding vehicle
Just seeing this
So I think the 4 runner is the sweet spot between the Sequoia and the Highlander

Gotta go under the passenger side wheel to change the alternator.The Kia Carnival might be the move

Or the Kia Sedona Xls
Bought the wife one right before the Carnival dropped.
We are going thru it.
She parks on an incline so the auto doors don’t always work.
The motion sensors go off randomly.
The alternator was a bitch to get too.
Brakes need changing constantly due to the weight of the vehicle.
GPS stopped working randomly but is also conveniently not covered under warranty.
Other than that she’s a beast with a beautiful soul.
