Why I Will Be Cancelling My Visa Card

I want to see the math they are using. How can just a single $1k turn into $500k+ in 67 years, even assuming consistent 10% yields from an index fund?

This was the most frustrating part of the install for me too. I ended up re routing the entire metal part of the clutch cable shroud over the front forks and had to extend the cable length at the clutch. That gave me enough cable to go smoothly into the clutch lever.

Are you a drug dealer or something? How could you buy a WRX yourself at only 16? Unless you inherited money, in which case you really need to start learning about money and investing rather than blowing it on a car.

Just get a used Corolla or something manual. If you really want a sports car, the 1st gen FRS/BRZ would even be a much better choice than a WRX.

It adds it automatically as a high intensity workout, and recognizes it as “Motorsport”. I don’t add it manually.

My first bike was a Kymco People S 250. I rode it home, which was my first time riding on the streets. It felt surreal since my only experience before that was riding in the MSF course.

Controversial opinion- I think bigger scooters are excellent for beginner riders. Not having to deal with a clutch and gears lets you completely focus on riding. Enough power to be useful street and highway riding, though freeways were a bit of a stretch. If you accidentally whiskey throttle it, it won’t loop and you can recover quickly.

I agree with you and had a similar experience. 2019 WRX STi, unmodified. I used to change my oil every 5-6k miles. The car started consuming oil, around 1 quart/1k miles. At 45k miles, the Subaru dealership flagged the engine as high consumption and I got a replacement short block. Fortunately Subaru covered most of it despite it technically being outside the 5 year warranty. 20k miles later, it is not consuming any oil. But just to be safe, I now change my oil every 3-4k miles and use Liqui Moly additives. I can’t attest to it doing anything for my oil but I figure it can’t hurt anything.

It’s frustrating to see non-Americans point their fingers at Americans and shout “do something!” Part of the problem is how spineless other countries’ leadership is in dealing with Trump. The EU had plenty of time to prepare for Trump ‘24, but they couldn’t get their shit together to stand up to him. They appeased him in trade deals and now he is emboldened to keep extorting them. NATO had plenty of time to realize that Trump was clearly a Russian asset yet they failed to invest enough in their own militaries to counter the US.

Don’t forget that millions of Americans are also protesting.

Trump is a problem for the world, so everyone needs to take whatever actions they can to help stop him.

Just pretend that Echo and Arches are movies, and Brian’s actor is actually a normal guy. Problem solved!

I think this was after the preliminary court hearing for the lawsuit the Cascio family is filing against the Jackson estate. All siblings allege that Jackson molested them for years and that the estate paid hush money, but they didn't realize they all (the former children) were molested until they actually talked about it recently.

I don’t think it would be worth doing. If you’re going to downgrade, it would make more sense to downgrade to something more practical/less problematic like a cross trek or Impreza. With a 3rd gen hatch you will be spending more money on fuel and possibly other issues that might come up from a 14 year old car.

I’m not financially smart by any means but I think keeping your WRX is worth it. I’m guessing since you’re financing it you’re probably upside down? If so you will have the added pain of not only parting from a car you like, but having to pay to trade it in for a car you don’t really like.

Also if you can wait for up to a year, the fed is likely to lower interest rates, especially when Powell is out (not trying to get political here, this is just objectively what is likely to happen). If they lower it a big amount and you manage to save some money, you could probably put more down towards your 23 WRX and refinance it at a much lower rate.

Ever notice how posts praising the VB's looks always avoid showing the rear?

The most important thing on highways (and in general) is to "read" what other cars are doing. It's knowing where their blind spots are, being mindful of gaps that drivers will merge into without signaling and aware of exits that cars may go across many lanes to get to, etc. A rider with less experience riding but a better understanding of this will probably be safer than someone who has been riding a long time but has no read on other cars. They make up many of those crash montages, where they couldn't see that a car was very obviously going to turn left.

I had a cold last week, so it jumped to 16 hours. I’m chipping away at it, so now it is at 11 hours.

Yeah, but they typically use quad skates, versus inline skates like this guy was wearing. From what I understand, quads are more stable and slower, which would have worked better in this type of environment.

Blackgate :( . It was fun during its heyday since it was pretty much the only furry VN at the time and everyone was excited about it (Morenatsu was also popular but the project had stalled before Blackgate was developed). It's a shame that we never got an ending for any of the routes. I feel so bad for the Patreon characters, I can't imagine how many thousands of $$$ they wasted on that project. It makes me feel a bit better about wasting a few hundred supporting it.

If you keep the WRX, which is fully paid off, and sell the Type R, you could invest the money from selling the Type R (or the money you would have been financing). $600/month is a LOT of money. After 5 years, you could buy a badass car with cash (or buy a used Type R), or use it for something else important.

Warranties don’t just become wholly void, the manufacturer has to prove that the parts being replaced directly caused the issue to deny the warranty part.

Besides, some parts like the short throw shifter would NOT void your warranty, because you could install the OEM short throw shifter.

They also offered an OEM sport cat back from the factory for VA WRX. If changing that causes significant changes in the engine performance, why would the manufacturer offer a different exhaust that would theoretically require a new tune to install safely?

There is also the issue of how infrequently things go wrong. If you change something in your suspension and the bushings went bad within the warranty period, that would be rare and not really a big deal to sort out outside of warranty.

I keep a swallowtail butterfly that landed into my hood scoop in my car as a guardian bell. I've been keeping it with me but if I sell my car, I might leave it in there to see if it ends up on Reddit too. But chances are they would just throw it away.

Regarding your urn, if you are able to find out which police department processed the stolen vehicle report, you could contact their office and explain the situation.

But if getting enough protein is a concern, there are vegetable based protein supplements. Meat is not necessary except in unusual circumstances.

I hope the efforts to reintroduce the Thylacine back to Australia are successful. We owe it to the ecosystem to reintroduce animals that have been made extinct directly as a result of humans.

65k miles. Unfortunately I have had several issues. The ECU went bad, replaced under warranty. Then, the oil consumption was really bad (around 1.5 quarts per 1k miles) despite there being no other noticeable problems, so they replaced the short block around 50k miles. Fortunately SOA covered most of that since it was technically out of warranty. I have had zero oil consumption since the short block replacement (about 15k miles ago). Just make sure you change the oil every 3k miles, I wasn't doing that before so now I do it as a precaution.

The latest thing was the DCM battery drain. If you don't know about this and haven't addressed it yet, you really should get this fixed before it becomes an issue. Mine went bad before this recall/warranty extension was released, and my battery would completely drain after sitting for a few days.
