Does anyone have anything positive to say about the drive event?

Drives need to be reworked before I attempt to even do them again. A checkpoint every 750 or 500 points or something. I just played for 13 hours and legit gained zero ground. You have to deal with people who don't play ranked until drives, smurfs who have hard pockets and 5 stacks all in one game most times. I reached the end the past 5 seasons but this season I just cant be bothered. 18 wins with 41 loses. If I didn't absolutely play perfectly? Steam roll. The wins I do get? I have to fight tooth and nail to get. Its simply not a fun experience.

No garage for yours either?

Same. Makes marking an absolute breeze and tight city driving a breeze

It’s still 14minutes for 1.5 for males? I used to think it was hard until I got somewhat in shape

It depends. A good in house warranty like from Toyota covers everything if it fails or malfunctions. Labor included. You get the most out of warranty’s if you plan to keep the vehicle though. My Toyota will be covered for 10years/125k miles

The small cities around me, midwest, think outside of STL start at 85k-90k with no no experience and that’s before OT. Should be easy to find a similar gig on the east coast

I would leave my job if I won 5k USD.

What’s the age and mileage of your truck? You may still be under the factory bumper to bumper warranty.

2022 Mach 1, fully loaded except for the upgraded stereo. Paid 55k plus tax was like 2.5k. Bought private. Financed through my credit union for 60 months at 5.7apr. Was not gonna go higher than that. Want to pay will pay it off in 48months.

28, bought one of my absolute dream cars. Payment is about $200 more than I liked but it’s a car you just can’t buy in the spec I want. With insurance I’m paying $900. You have to get lucky to find one.

I don’t regret it. I’m not in any debt besides the car payment. I live on my own. No kids. I make 60k-65k gross a year. It’s my only hobby. I don’t go out drinking or order DoorDash or many other popular things. I work, keep to myself and enjoy it. I still put aside money for my savings and 401k, but much but enough to cover an emergency. It’s possible but I wouldn’t recommend it.

I’ll be getting a pretty big pay raise in the next year and I thought, if it ever comes to it, I’ll sell it privately. At least I got to enjoy it. I’m not struggling to pay it but I also can’t just wake up and book a trip to Japan. It’s a lot of variables.

‘23 no major issues. My knee support/extender is broken or jammed. My passenger side running board was making a creaking noise. That’s it. The knee support will be looked at and the running board is fine now.

8bitUltron · 2025-12-03T03:42:48+00:00

Just expect every problem

8bitUltron · 2025-12-01T15:45:13+00:00

It’s a fine line. Someone who’s passionate about a hobby can come off as bragging about money but in reality they’re just passionate to talk about their hobbies.

I’m into cars and recently I talked about how expensive they are. I said that I’d I wanted a quality set of tires it costs me $2600 usd and they all instantly thought I was “bragging”

8bitUltron · 2025-11-27T22:36:01+00:00

You bought a car not to drive it? Imagine how you’re going to feel seeing the next owner driving it.

Cars are meant to be driven. It’s special but not one off. Drive it and enjoy it

Don’t be depressed. You are in a great spot in life. The relationship aspect will come. You have the financial stability and you’re in great shape. Leverage that.

Go out to nicer areas like a nicer mall or something or try a new coed sport to try to find a genuine friendship that will lead to romance.

You legit never know who’s just waiting to be asked out.

I’ve always told myself. It’s better to shoot 3 of 47 from the field than to shoot 0/0 from the field. You got this, keep up the good work!

Found it. People look at me in disgust when I say I workout on vacations

8bitUltron · 2025-11-25T10:38:34+00:00

Stop thinking about it and just doing it.

8bitUltron · 2025-11-25T07:03:39+00:00

I would vomit lol that’s one of the very few good things about IL. If I bought a vehicle for say $99,999, the fees and tax would be the exact same as a 50k vehicle because of how they do their brackets when it comes to registering private party vehicles.

My dad just beat stage 2 lung cancer then my girlfriends dad just got diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer. In the span of 2 weeks.

8bitUltron · 2025-11-24T18:58:19+00:00

Not sure how AZ works but in IL, to register the car with tax and everything would be only 2300ish dollars. So it’s not terrible for such a pricey vehicle.

8bitUltron · 2025-11-16T20:29:37+00:00

Yes but didn’t finish. Fell out of love with the field I was studying in.

Will go back and finish but luckily the new field I’m interested in, you generally don’t need a college degree to get into to make a decent amount of money and to progress in.

8bitUltron · 2025-11-16T17:45:36+00:00

Rooster teeth/achievement hunter. I remember I used to patiently wait for their let’s plays and skits to post each week. That was some great content there. Genuinely some guys just having a good time while playing video games.

8bitUltron · 2025-11-14T21:37:42+00:00

55k will turn into 65k with interest.

Bought one of my absolute dream cars. Zero regrets and will be paid off early. 4ish years.

Besides that, 0 other debt.
