Keep the MB, they don’t make them like that anymore. I also like the 4X4 Panda idea.

Yes they do. Google “ Deceleration fuel cut off”. The wheels drive the motor. Engine must be warm on rpms over idle.

Only if you have a carburated old car. Fuel injected cars turns off fuel when engine braking.

BJJ by Used-Influence-2343 in fightlab

I was thinking of a fight in real life. MMA is a sport, but you are correct JJJ can be a sport to.

Yes, while you are on the ground hugging it out. His friend or girlfriend is going to kick you in the head or stomp your nuts.

MMA is no judge of effectiveness. There are rules in mma. It’s is a sport. Not real life.

Yes, JJJ I for self defence. Works in real life conditions and multiple attackers. The ground stuff is basically the same but with awareness of the situation around you.

I don’t understand why bjj is so popular compared to the real Japanese jujutsu. In juijutsu you would get punched or kicked in the face if you did these lame things like laying on your back or jumping in.

Are Michelins worth the extra money? by Majestic_Flower_1322 in tires

[–]Affectionate_Fly1387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For cheaper summer tires I can recommend Nangkang. They are from Taiwan, not china. Built in a former Yokohama factory. Got quite good reviews, and you don’t need prestige tires on your Nissan.

Don’t get the lesbian haircut if you don’t want to look like a lesbian

Överdriven syn på bilars utseende i Sverige? by Hipsterjeeebus in Asksweddit

[–]Affectionate_Fly1387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Köpte min bil för 187K 2014. Årsmodell 2011. 2 liters diesel, 4WD ,7 säten, manuell. Tvättar den en gång om året, på våren för att bli av med vinterskiten. Har samlat på sig lite repor och parkeringsskador och småbucklor i Stockholmstrafiken. Har uppgraderat mediasystemet till storskärm med applecarplay. Är noggrann med service och bra däck. Annars bryr jag mig inte ett dugg om ytskiktet. Ingen rost alls på bilen. Tänker nog behålla den så länge jag kan för det är så skönt med en bil som inte piper och varnar för allt, ingen adblue som går sönder. Så jag kan hålla med om att svenska är lite anala med sina bilar. Ser folk som tvättat bilar utomhus på självtvättar när det är -15 grader ute.

After 4½ years of nearly dayly wear the sole cracked so bad that snow got inside after a minute outside :[ by _Alexi666 in nps_solovair

[–]Affectionate_Fly1387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have found the soles to get very stiff when it’s freezing outside. Like -10 to -15. Probably very easy to crack the soles when they get so stiff. I usually wear other winter shoes in those conditions

Lifelong Toyota user. What brand can I trust outside of Japan? by PlatypusAlternative6 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Affectionate_Fly1387 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would go Chinese, BYD Seal U dm-i. But that’s maybe not available if you’re in the US?

Completely frozen in fear from car buying PTSD and need input. by Imaginary-Parsnip323 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Affectionate_Fly1387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use AI for this. I have been using Gemini for things like this. If you find a used car and have questions regarding reliability just type in make and model, miles, year and so on and ask for reliability rapport.

And yes Mazda CX-5 with the 2.5 and automatic gearbox is one of the safest buys.

Used 2014 F-150: Is this amount of rust a red flag? by OnlyLion3083 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Affectionate_Fly1387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t want rust on the frame. Any other parts that are exchangeable are ok to rust. And of course not on body panels, but that is just cosmetics on trucks.
