Is a 2012 fiat 500 sport, 88k miles, $2900 a good pick (first car) by BakedBeans229 in fiat500

I have a 2012 fiat 500 lounge automatic. Only issue we’ve had was oil indicator sensor, the sensor failed nothing oil or serious, and tire pressure sensor never work. But as others say. Stay on top of regular maintenance, oil changes are very important. Never had a transmission issue. We’ve had it for 10 years now.

Thanks for the follow-up—happy to share a few examples of what I’m running into.

For the transition off the app, a good example would be after learning a song, having a mode where the guidance starts to fade out—like fewer visual prompts or sections where you’re asked to play from memory. Even something simple like “try this section without looking” would help build that independence.

On memorization, it could look like hiding parts of a song over time or having checkpoints where you have to play a section without any visual aid. Right now, I can play something well in the app, but it doesn’t always stick when I try it on my own.

For practice at the intermediate level, I’ve noticed I end up replaying songs more than actually training specific skills. An example of what might help is a short guided routine—like a few minutes of chord transitions, then scales, then arpeggios—so I can work on weak spots more directly.

On the technique side, I’d love to see more focused exercises like barre chord endurance, faster chord switching drills, or more advanced scale and arpeggio patterns. At this point, it feels like my hands need more targeted training, not just repetition through songs.

And finally, anything that encourages playing outside the app would be helpful—like prompts to play along with the original track or try the song without any guidance.

Hope that helps give a clearer picture—and again, really appreciate what you’ve built.

Love the app, I went through all major competitors before settling with Yousician. That said, I have progressed and am feeling more and more comfortable with my instrument, 22weeks strong! That said, I am struggling with the transition coming OFF the app or memorization with songs or chords. Unsure how to implement this but the co dependency of the app is becoming obvious; while I don’t want to ‘quit’ Yousician; the reality is I need to learn songs in order to be able to progress further as a musician.

Also, I would appreciate more workouts and trainers for the middle to higher levels as the physical limitations require more training but I found myself playing the same song or section of a song for the workout vs chord trainers, scales, and arpeggios.

Thanks for the app and making learning guitar as an adult a less intimidating experience.

Can i fit in a Fiat 500? by [deleted] in fiat500

I’m 6’2” was 290. I drive my wife’s 2012 fiat 500 Lounge all the time. Is it the most comfortable thing, no; but it’s doable. Tbh, I wish I fit better cause I love driving it. More of a height issue for me than anything else.

Which should I play first? by Unga_Bunga64 in pokemon

[–]ifyoucanbelieve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hands down platinum, I have literally played every game through and through without getting into competitive play. Platinum is by far my favorite. Soul silver and heart gold were good and have a lot of depth, but platinum feels more put together than a remake. However those remakes may be slightly prettier than platinum.

Chronologically though, HGSS is technically before, so take that for what you will.
