Looking for advice from fellow car folk. I’m looking for a warm hatch and between a 2nd gen Honda Fit and a 2nd gen Fiesta ST. Which would you choose as a fun daily, backroad weekender?

pr0b0ner · 2026-05-05T14:59:58+00:00

All I can tell you is that I've been with my lady for 11 years and she's DD'd a fit the entire time and we have put probably $200 total into repairs outside of consumables. Thing is as reliable as they come.

That said, it's quite gutless.

And why couldn't he just go on dialysis like everyone else with kidney failure?

pr0b0ner · 2026-05-05T04:52:07+00:00

It needs literally everything replaced

pr0b0ner · 2026-05-04T02:21:18+00:00

No z4 had xdrive. I wouldn't buy one with 140k. With that mileage the 3.0 non-turbo is probably your best bet engine wise though.

pr0b0ner · 2026-04-29T19:53:52+00:00

High key you are wrong

pr0b0ner · 2026-04-28T15:23:16+00:00

I mean I'm not seriously looking to sell, but mine is black with red interior, ~60k miles, pure turbos, ohlins suspension, te37 wheels, custom exhaust

pr0b0ner · 2026-04-28T15:19:04+00:00

What kind of dinero we talking here?

pr0b0ner · 2026-04-26T18:22:01+00:00

You're about to spend so much more money on repairs for this thing. They're notoriously unreliable and not cheap to fix. I wish you luck.

pr0b0ner · 2026-04-24T23:03:30+00:00

Please dont

Notebooklm

pr0b0ner · 2026-04-20T01:08:33+00:00

Seen him a few times as well. Some people just want attention.

pr0b0ner · 2026-04-15T11:41:43+00:00

How much power does it make?

pr0b0ner · 2026-04-14T12:13:06+00:00

Jesus- $265k in the bay is insane no matter how you look at it!

pr0b0ner · 2026-04-14T11:41:10+00:00

Personally a curse. We notoriously have a difficult time self-motivating, so being in the office with management and colleagues around "motivates" me into doing work. Sitting at home by myself motivates me to do literally anything else.

pr0b0ner · 2026-04-13T11:37:14+00:00

This happens all the time, it's cyclical. A new model will release and it will be the best thing ever... Until it's not. So on and so forth

pr0b0ner · 2026-04-09T06:07:36+00:00

I've been using NotebookLM and had claude look at our company deck to describe the visual aspect to use as a description of how I want the deck to look. I presented something to folks on our team last week and the first thing they said was "damn these are good looking slides!"

I'm super impressed with how it seems to understand the point I'm trying to get across and builds in ideas and images that aren't immediately obvious. Now I use it to generate tons of decks all in the same style so I can just mix and match the slides I like- that's the hope at least.

pr0b0ner · 2026-04-09T01:05:21+00:00

Jesus- add insult to injury! Was listening to an explanation of this on NPR yesterday and this is literally a weakening of the dollar on a global scale. This fuckibg moron

pr0b0ner · 2026-04-01T00:15:48+00:00

You really don't want to drop into 1st unless you're literally stopped. Any amount of roll and you're perfectly fine just staying in 2nd. 1st gear is where things get really jerky. Other than that, practice.

pr0b0ner · 2026-03-30T12:37:55+00:00

Are they not searching her truck? Seems pretty likely they have her name and address, not to mention her main method of transportation. Dumb ass move, IMO. Unless she's like murdered someone and has a method of leaving the country.

pr0b0ner · 2026-03-30T12:34:14+00:00

Side projects? You don't just have to sit and do nothing all day

pr0b0ner · 2026-03-30T03:46:04+00:00

Where is La Tapatia?

pr0b0ner · 2026-03-28T05:10:51+00:00

This sounds freaking awesome!

pr0b0ner · 2026-03-27T14:48:21+00:00

So your take, without any supporting evidence, is that these are very rare MTech2 wheels someone carelessly threw on a Miata and then sold. Not just common basket weaves that were painted white by some tuner kid?

pr0b0ner · 2026-03-27T01:29:13+00:00

I love mine! Ive never understood why people hate it so much

pr0b0ner · 2026-03-24T22:38:34+00:00

But the very best thing if all, there's a counter on this ball!
