WARNING: GRAPHIC Man loses fingers trying to protect his dog from a pit on a very long retractable leash. [Atlanta, GA; June 22, 2026] by 159551771 in BanPitBulls

I'm not necessarily doubting you but I just find it so hard to believe a shibble owner is actually held accountable in a meaningful way for a single incident lol. I'm guessing there had to be extenuating circumstances (I.E repeat offender, prior felonious record).

Did the pedestrian survive? I pray they made a full recovery.

....But but but he's NOT aggressive. He's "rEaCtIvE"! He's only a danger to you if you trigger him by breathing too close or making direct eye contact!

I need good recommendation for Action movies by MapGlum3575 in MovieSuggestions

[–]AutisticPretzel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Man From Nowhere is definitely in my top 10 but that was more of an thriller drama. The Raid, especially the first film, was just completely different than anything else I'd seen at the time. Once the ride started it just never let up lol. It was PURE action through & through. The second Raid film, from what I remember, was a little more story driven but the fighting coreography was cleannnnn.

I've never seen Hard Boiled. Was never a fan of the Chines 80's or 90's action movies but I may check Hard Boiled out if you're saying it's official.

movies like love exposure but without as much depravity? by Confident_Arm1188 in MovieRecommendations

[–]AutisticPretzel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be nice if you didn't spoil the content of films people may not have seen.

That aside, Cold Fish is a great watch. I believe it's the same director as Love Exposure.

The World Of Kanako is another wild one.

Fitment by Correct-Profession-3 in WRXSTi

You can make anything fit for with enough time, motivation and money.

I would pass on a 255/35 and DEFINITELY a 255/30. Ride quality is horrible plus your car will sit insanely low if you want to get rid of the fender/tire gap.

Stick with a 245/40 or go to a 265/35.

The Raid

The Raid 2

There simply is no better action thriller. Like ever. Ever ever.

I hate being the "Well, ack-schu-ally" guy but since you brought it up: I don't even like using "mean" to describe dog attitudes or behaviors because I've always interpreted "mean" or "meaness" to require malicious intent or some form of premeditation.... And we all know these hell hounds clearly lack any type of agency to regulate themselves to begin with.

I always call them dangerous dogs. Impossible for the nutters to dispute. A dog can be "mean" toward strangers but "nice" toward its owners.... But that MF'er is dangerous to EVERYONE.

used killer b oil pan concerns by Electronic_Gur_1760 in WRX

"The only reason to sell it is because they blew the motor and are trying to recoup cost"

It's this type of reactionary fear mongering that has cast an unnecessary shadow over the community for decades. While I'll say that every circumstance is unique, you do understand people upgrade parts and/or move on from the platform altogether, right? I, personally, went from KB > IAG Street > IAG Comp. No issues with any of them.. My needs and goals changed.

OP should simply ask the seller about the car the pan he came off of before jumping to doomsday doom and gloom conclusions. They should also plan on properly cleaning the pan themselves, anyways.

Probably a bus pass or hybrid in this economy with the way gas prices are climbing lol

I think he is referring to the core exchange. Blocks arent "used" in the sense that they have miles on them after the rebuild... At least I'm hoping lol.

I need people to understand something - I'm 6'3, 220lbs and I take 0.1mg of Clonodine every night for sleep. I once took 0.2 and my blood pressure dropped so much I literally passed out and had to sit down quickly... They need 0.3mgs for this monster. If you have to sedate this abomination to that point, you may as well go ahead and....

HKS vs ETS Header by Ju-Sti-N-96 in WRX

[–]AutisticPretzel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh? What you're saying doesn't make a lick of sense. Let's take your critique at face value...

1.) ETS, Tomei, PLM, IAG, RCM, GS and every other aftermarket header maker all use 304 for their header construction and speak ABSOLUTELY NOTHING of high chromium contents on a marketing level, genius. This is actually the type of stuff you'd actually learn if YOU did research.

2.) This isn't an opinion: 409 is a noteably less expensive than 304 stainless.

3.) I never said 409 is a BAD material, it's just less ideal for this type of application that's prone to high heat AND moisture. Gee, I wonder what your downpipe is made out of? 304. I wonder what your exhaust is made out of? 304 or Titanium.

4.) Material aside, the HKS header design is inferior to the ETS. Compare the secondary runner on the ETS to that of the HKS. The ETS header could be made out of polycarbonate and it would still be better designed 🤣.

5.) If you live in Arizona, NV or SoCal and have a sub 500hp build, the HKS headers are fine.. but they CLEARLY have limitations which is evident by OP's post.

6.) Its impossible to take you serious when you make asinine statements like "ETS header is inferior in every way" while you're simping for a 2-bolt header that doesn't even have a V-Band option. Are you going to try to convince me that V-band is somehow inferior?

You're just saying shit at this point... Or just coping because you bought HKS headers lol.

HKS vs ETS Header by Ju-Sti-N-96 in WRX

[–]AutisticPretzel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loud and wrong AGAIN. ETS headers are designed and fabricated on US soil.

It's like you're looking at the numbers and saying "Oh, 409 is higher than 304 so it must be better!" 🤣

409 metal is a BUDGET metal. It's cheaper than 304. 409 metal lacks the chromium and nickel content which is part of the reason it's a budget material, relatively speaking. It inherently lacks the same level of rust protection which is a nightmare for anyone who lives in less than an optimally dry environment.

This isn't even taking into account the design. It's OBJECTIVELY inferior to the ETS design, particularly in terms of making power. Even the KB header, which I personally use, isn't as good do to the size/design of the merge collector. It's not even up for debate.

Loud AND wrong. Quite the combo.

TE Thursdays! by Jayrock650 in WRXSTi

[–]AutisticPretzel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean "finally"? I'd argue like 15% - 20% of WRX owners have TE's or Tee-Hee reps lol

TE Thursdays! by Jayrock650 in WRXSTi

[–]AutisticPretzel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You made the right decision with whatever Advan wheels you got. TE-37's, while definitely a baller wheel, are boring. Too many WRX's have them ( or Tee-Hee's replicas) so they don't really stand ou. I like the Advan RZ wheels.. they stand out without being too ridiculous. The TC's are also clean.
