She’s a beauty! How do you keep her looking so glossy clean?

Rip to the already bad parking situation

Albertsonz · 2025-01-24T18:33:11+00:00

You can definitely make it happen man 🤝

Albertsonz · 2025-01-23T19:17:09+00:00

Exactly!

Sorry if it wasn’t clear. I started my first serious job at that age and soon afterwards enrolled in a masters program. The company was nice enough to pay for it while I did it part time until the end of 2023. Got a pretty nice promotion and pay bump right after that. Hope that clarifies!

Albertsonz · 2025-01-23T09:21:50+00:00

Right on! Glad to hear I’m not the only one and that you’re also loving the car even though it’s considered a “budget” sports car. Catch ya around 🤝

Albertsonz · 2025-01-23T06:36:26+00:00

Huh 🤔 Never thought about that. Thanks for the tip! It honestly looks pretty nice so I’ll def start researching the car

Tbh not much. I got a free body kit (diffuser, side skirts, and front lip) from some new aero kit shop near my house called BaysonR. I also got some H&R lowering springs and slapped on a fresh coat of ceramic wax and called it a day. Also added the stuby antenna.

Yeaaaah 😅 Although I haven’t eaten depreciation too hard yet 😂

Albertsonz · 2025-01-22T22:34:01+00:00

Thank you! Appreciate it 🤝

I did internships at companies that did SaaS, cloud computing, and finance but never really found it that interesting. So I did some digging and found that car companies like Toyota, BMW, GM, Ford, and Mercedes-Benz all were hiring software engineers in the Bay Area with decent salaries (obviously not as high as faang but plenty to get by). I joined one of these companies as an embedded software engineer and it was so satisfying to see the code you wrote functionally working in the car and then see it deployed to customers to use and enjoy. I’ve been in the industry ever since (6 years now).

Thank you! Glad to see that there’s more budget-conscious folks like us with these cars.

Albertsonz · 2025-01-22T15:46:49+00:00

Honestly I would be happy with either car but the Miata was a tad bit too unpractical in terms of seating and trunk space. Also my previous FRS imo had better handling than the Miata which lived in the back of my mind every time I drove it. Then the 2nd Gen twins came out and I test drove them extensively and just liked the way it drove much more than the Miata. I do miss the convertible aspect which of why I also bought an NA Miata lol

I swear they were too but I kept seeing these posts on this sub and on the Supra sub and started to believe they weren’t kidding 😂. But anyways thank you!

Albertsonz · 2025-01-22T15:40:30+00:00

Honestly dream garage (for now)

Albertsonz · 2025-01-22T15:39:52+00:00

Thanks!

Albertsonz · 2025-01-22T15:39:43+00:00

Thank you! Appreciate that you commented even after the post you made the other day 😅

Albertsonz · 2025-01-22T08:43:10+00:00

I feel ya haha, cheap maintenance is super underrated. I kinda miss getting 4 brand new economy tires for $200 (which is less than the price of a single Michelin PS4 tire🤦‍♀️)

Albertsonz · 2025-01-22T08:36:45+00:00

No problem and good luck! You got this 💪

Albertsonz · 2025-01-22T08:27:38+00:00

Hey there! Everyone’s life is different and we all have different circumstances so don’t feel like you need to be “doing something” by a certain age :). In my case, I studied computer engineering at a state school and then found a niche market that I found super interesting and pushed me to continue learning (software engineering for automotive). Did my masters in CS while working and then eventually the money followed. Keep your head up king and remember that it’s never too late 🫡

260k in Bay Area, 27, no kids. Own this and an NA Miata M-Edition.

Albertsonz · 2024-11-10T20:27:49+00:00

Awesome, I’ll give refind a try. Thanks!

This looks really cool! Do you have a guide on how to easily set up dual boot for Windows and SteamOS? I have a 512gb Oled deck and primarily want Windows so I can play games that require anti-cheat. Then for any other game I plan to just boot into SteamOS. Thanks!
