I've been stressed over this Japan trip, which is odd to me because for the previous ones I don't remember being anxious at all.
I think a big chunk is due to leaving Haru with my folks for the time I'll be gone. He likes them and they like him, but Shibas are so difficult at times and I know he'll be a handful for my parents. And I worry a bit they'll leave a door open accidentally and he'll run out... He's microchipped, has an Apple AirTag, AND a Fi GPS/cellular collar though, so lots of ways to find him if needed lol....god forbid. And then also usually I just have a checklist of what I need to pack for my trip but now I have a whole second one for him and all his needs and stuff I need to make sure I bring with when I drop him off.

Even if charging is "free" it would take 285 weeks to break even on $70 per week at the $20,000 downpayment. Quote:
Also, the base version is missing several convenience and safety features of the next model up.

+1 for Hyundai Ioniq. I have a few friends that own it and they have nothing but good things to say. There's also the Kia EV6. The one thing one of my friends ran into with an Ionic is the placement of the intake for your AC ventilation. Is in the hood trunk, and it doesn't necessarily have a mesh that would prevent, say, a foreign body, like a mouse that decided to nest inside said intake, and that once the vehicle was turned on, the intake fan sucked the mouse and decided to effectively eviscerate it. Of course, this set of event was triggered by the fact that he lives in the middle of nowhere in a heavily wooded area.

Until charge ports are fixed on cars now that the Tesla one is effectively the standard... I'd only look at Tesla. But the model Y is pretty darn nice anyway.

welcome to having a 'kid'! i can't even take the car camping anymore like i used to. need to take the truck, and it' usually filled to the point where there's really only 2 seats left, 1 for me, and 1 for the dog. i keep wondering where all the space goes, but a large crate, sleeping bag, 3 blankets, pillows, and a duffle bag of clothes as well as a backpack of dog stuff tends to take up a ton of space!

i really expected that a highlander would get better mileage than my truck does... i still think hybrids are where to be until some of the volatility of the electric stuff works itself out. the highlander hybrid would give you some ease at the pump, but also suit your current needs as well.

With that said, def wanna buy the twin again or at least Supra. Um… not sure I wanna take a chance riding that while holding a 2yo in the snow storm & drive 10 miles (round trip). Quote:
-better space than BRZ or WRX -better mpg than Highlander -don’t need mid or premium grade gas -AWD drivetrain I just happen to remember my work have a free charging station for all the employee. If I charge it at work most of the time, I can save some gas money ($1625 average annually). If I do their 4yr finance (0% APR), I was looking about the same amount of monthly payment as HL w 1 extra yr of payment. Road trip is def out of question. At least not a family trip. My wife started work & she need to get PTO saved up… but she want to save it up for another trip to Japan (in 3yrs). Yeah… I saw that base model is missing a lot off features… which is why I’m a bit hesitant to pull the trigger. Quote:
I do live in middle of nowhere as well, but I live in desert instead of wood area. Only issue I’ve heard is 12v battery randomly dying. If you jump start it, it starts back up & there’s no solution that Hyundai put out other than replace the 12v battery. Quote:
Yeah hybrid or plug-in hybrid would be another option. Quote:
Recommend get your Shiba a kotatsu… if your Shiba is like mine, I’ll guarantee he will not leave the kotatsu. Only time get out from kotatsu will just to cool off. lol Quote:

Haru literally just sleeps all day as it is. Sometimes these days he won't even walk in the morning he'll just wait for our afternoon walk so he can keep sleeping (or go back and forth to the sunny balcony and sleep there and then inside).

Honestly the only time I'd be worried he'll run off is if he's having a fear attack. Like when the dishwasher is running or other stuff really bother him he gets totally freaked out and will try climbing the door to get the door knob, or like to the top of the balcony rail (he's never fully climbed it cuz I stop him when that happens but he'll start climbing it like a ladder).

In the beginning, I’ve put GPS system jic… but in the end, we never used it, plus made her look fat lol So in the end, we took it off. I know one of my buddy has iwatch (w cellar) on his Dalmatian, cuz that doggo has escape few times & it’s cheaper to do iwatch cellar ($10/month) than other brands w big ass GPS on the collar. Not trying to scare you & honestly my doggo was at sis-in-law when we went back to Japan for almost a month. She didn’t run away & she was chilling on the couch majority of the time (other time was playing w their kids) |
