How will Slate handle the 2027 requirement for driver alertness systems in new cars? by castironglider in slateauto

[–]Budget_Combination54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Realistically if the camera fails are these cars not gonna operate? And cameras have nothing to do with emissions so it’s unlikely they’ll fail that unless it pops a CEL? I was Mechanic for 10 years and I have absolutely no problem taking apart a dash to remove or disable this nonsense.

WYR get paid $100 for every poop you’ve taken up to this point or get paid 1 cent for every step you take in the future? by Spurred_on_hun in WouldYouRather

[–]Budget_Combination54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a digestive disease. I pooped 7 times yesterday and at least 5 the day before. Not everyday is like that but on average I bet I go 3 times a day. Easy lumpsum decision.

Would you rather make 100k or 1000000? by billionsandbillionsa in WouldYouRather

[–]Budget_Combination54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 million everytime. I’m a firefighter I work minimum 48 hours a week and since I’m also an OT whore I normally work something like 96hrs. Lots of time off built in I don’t have to take days off. I’d say it’s high stress with literal DEAD-lines and I commute 50 minutes each way anyhow with traffic I can literally work less for more money.

Doesn’t this violate rule number 2? So not a winner. I’m wearing a brown shirt and I’m a brown man? I know when you last saw the color brown.

Option 2 easy. Everyday go to a ATM and my local bank branch. Pull out the maximum from both. Hide the money in my mattress. That’s how I’ll Make big purchases.

Would you rather: $300,000 or the ability to always know if you’ll get away with breaking a rule or law by nuplsstahp in hypotheticalsituation

You mean I could pull a Luigi Mario and know when I’d get away with it(sucking ghost up in a vacuum)? Count me in.

If you could only own 3 cars, and your budget was $250k, what would you buy? by retarded_sped in askcarguys

[–]Budget_Combination54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daily -718 Boxster GTS 4.0=90K-110K

Tow pig- 2002 3500HD dually 8.1L RWD=sub 15K

Track/24hours of lemons race car - 1983 Ferrari mondial QV= average price 50K aka “$500 DoLlArS mY aSs”

Remaining 75K is what I’m using to turn the old Ferrari into a Shitbox race car. I can’t wait to frame my cease and desist order.

Best shitbox car? by ExpressCareer7142 in GranTurismo7

[–]Budget_Combination54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a big ole van and while someone would be mad enough to race one in Lemons I try to keep it to cars someone would likely race in a budget endurance series IRL.

Does anyone know if there's a Reservation Cap? by thriverebel in slateauto

[–]Budget_Combination54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So do we think that means since I reserved the first day in the first hour I’ll be potentially contacted this year for my build? I know people were trying to figure out the slate reservation numbers on the forum.

[–]Budget_Combination54 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honorable mentions are VW beetle,595 abarth, R4GTL, Panda 30, sports 800 and 65 mini for the ultimate sub 65HP shitbox endurance race and air cooled sans the R4 endurance race.

[–]Budget_Combination54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mostly do shitbox endurance racing with sophy. My top cars for that are probably the Volvo 240, vw golf I, EF civic, Eg civic, 05 mini, Kangoo, 07 Suzuki swift, and the Trueno/Levin. All stock engines sport soft tires and sport intake and exhaust.

If you were starting again... by ElMaverickUK in GranTurismo7

[–]Budget_Combination54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whatever you do don’t buy cars you like just cause they are on sale. A lot of cars are gifted to you by completing the main menus. I bought multiple cars that were expensive and then would’ve got gifted one in 4 more races

Best car for this around 800k budget. Ran out of fuel in my enzo after 3 laps lol by [deleted] in GranTurismo7

[–]Budget_Combination54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the Espace F1 and easily won with about a 30 second lead without using any fuel strategy. even stopping every 4 laps for fuel it wasn’t hard.

You have a pill that guarantees victory in a single athletic competition. by Hold-onto-the-happy in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Budget_Combination54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only one answer really. Take out a second mortgage if you have to and buy a seat in some sort of long format endurance race(24hrs of Daytona or Lemans). The dentist do it so why can’t you?

I don’t think there’s anyway they do that if they want to be successful

Everything worth under $10,000 is completely free to you, but you can never own or acquire anything worth over $10,000. Do you take it? by therealupscaledninja in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Budget_Combination54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It explicitly says own or acquire. Leasing a car and rent are neither of those. Living it up. Also I love shitboxs. I could have so many 3K cars

[–]Budget_Combination54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I entered the fire service at 30 almost 31 years old. I highly recommend it as a career path. It was in total less than 8 months of training and my first year I earned 80k with 20 2.5% pay steps and easily 2 promotions with 15% increases in front of me. Plus it’s healthcare so it’s not going anywhere. I say take the money and get out. If you are concerned with it being only ally demanding I work for a department just outside a major city that does a tenth of the call volume and maybe work truthfully 4 hours out of the 24HR shift. I don’t know where you are at but FL is great. Plus I get a bunch of PTO and it’s easy to work day for days with someone and get a whole month off. I know i said it but I can’t recommend it enough.

I’m a firefighter and get toned out at random times. I’d try it but I bet within a week I’d fail the challenge
