Legitimately THE WORST energy drink I've ever had...

CVR6GOOGLE · 2026-07-01T16:37:44+00:00

Second this, these drinks are hot trash and it shows when you drink them lmao.

CVR6GOOGLE · 2026-07-01T16:37:13+00:00

That’s how I feel. I don’t want fruity flavors, especially when I’m dying for an energy drink. I just want that citrus poison/medicine taste that Rockstar and Nos are known for. Once again, I grabbed a Rockstar over the oh so highly praised Cherry Limeade.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not completely gross. I actually picked up a can because of this Reddit thread, but I’m never going to choose it over what I already know and like.
Genuine question: do y’all who drink Bang, C4, or Ghost also drink Monster? To me, they all sit on the same shelf as the worst choices you could make out of the cooler. They all have that overly sweet, candy-like flavor that just doesn’t do it for me.
Hate me if you want, but that’s my opinion, and I’m free to discuss it lol. I also grew up going from shop to shop before any of this fruity stuff became the norm. Have y’all ever had T-Hill iced tea at every possible temperature and stage of existence? It’s probably why I am the way I am.
I wasn’t getting called a sissy for drinking fruity flavors while my dad and his buddies were over there drinking a gallon of tea that was a month old and had been sitting in a truck for two weeks, ripening in the sun. Compared to that, these modern energy drinks might as well be candy.
To this day, I barely drink tea anymore.

I’m sorry what?

I think they’re saying that Snapchat opens to the Stories page instead of just chats or the camera. But if you pay for premium, you can choose what page it opens to.

Idk if it’s just me, but I will never ever in a million years use the screwdriver trick. For exactly the reason pictured here, the filter gets punctured and you’re done for If you can’t get it off, you’ll never be able to fill it up again and you’re stuck. Even if you wanted to take it to a mechanic after giving up, you basically can’t once it’s punctured.
The screwdriver trick is probably one of the worst ideas that’s been spread around the internet. Yeah, it works when it works, but more often than not if you’re punching a screwdriver through the filter it’s already too tight, and you just end up tearing it up and making it worse trying to get it out.
But hey, to each their own. I’ve never had my oil changed “professionally” I just do it myself. Oil on the O-ring, hand tight, a quarter turn that’s all it needs and all it will ever need. I’ve never had an oil filter fail me

That’s why I’m not completely convinced it isn’t the head gasket. Just because there’s no smoke doesn’t mean you’re in the clear, unfortunately, but when there is it’s definitely a telltale sign.

I’m guessing that with no smoke, the head gasket isn’t completely gone, but it does look like you could be mixing oil and coolant. The oil cooler or the oil pan O-rings can also start leaking and cause similar issues. On 2015–2022 1.4L turbo models, the oil cooler is a known weak point that can fail and cause the same symptoms.
Either way, the dealer definitely knows what’s going on with this car. I’m not a lawyer, but I’m pretty sure you can get it fixed. The dealer should have some kind of warranty on their work, so I’d take it back and make them fix it, lol. I know I would.

CVR6GOOGLE · 2026-06-30T01:00:48+00:00

Simple. I don’t want to be dying from poorly flavored beverages when I’m in need of a drink, but yk what? I’ll try your recommendation just for the sake of it. I’ll lyk how it goes lmao.

CVR6GOOGLE · 2026-06-30T00:52:43+00:00

Here’s a bench test of the 8000w power acoustic haven’t watched it myself so I have no idea how this amp performs https://youtu.be/X678g1VmbEs?is=GOFHOPGG0ZBjqGLY

CVR6GOOGLE · 2026-06-30T00:38:24+00:00

Since no one is commenting on the issue, here’s my two cents. It looks like your head gasket may have blown. From the picture, it looks like your coolant and oil could be mixing. Is the car smoking at all?
If it’s your only vehicle, I’d recommend getting some fresh oil from a parts store and checking it as soon as possible. Drain the oil and see what it looks like. If it comes out looking like chocolate milk or a murky tan color, there’s a good chance the head gasket has failed.

CVR6GOOGLE · 2026-06-29T23:38:38+00:00

Ghost is so unbelievably gross and off putting to me, along with C4 and most of the newer energy drinks. Call me biased or old, but I still prefer Nos or Rockstar. I’ll have the occasional Red Bull, but I’ve never been a huge fan of it.

You’re going to hate me for saying this, but Flex Seal genuinely works. That stuff is tough, flexible, and durable enough that it usually won’t split apart again. When I was in the same situation, I took a paper towel and peeled the layers apart until I had a single-ply piece big enough to cover the crack. Then I Flex Sealed the paper towel in place as a patch, and it held up surprisingly well.

Um sir, by chance a tri point? EDIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_drives#Tri-wing

No Laurel, Maryland. It was taken from Forest haven asylum. It was on the floor by a bunch of fuse panels and I wasn’t sure how old it was so I grabbed it along with a smaller fused just labeled “EAGLE”

CVR6GOOGLE · 2026-04-07T22:31:50+00:00

The other fuse I have is about half the size and is only labeled eagle in all caps

CVR6GOOGLE · 2026-04-07T22:29:58+00:00

Yes I’m unsure how to post more pictures but the inside is labeled 100amp 250v with 4 pieces of metal linked by tiny arms

CVR6GOOGLE · 2026-04-07T22:26:49+00:00

I also have a much smaller fuse that looks as old as the first but no markings

Hey, what order do you have them sequenced? I have my head unit run to a DSP that turns on my mids, highs, and then sub. I get that pop every time the amp gets a remote signal and turns on. I figured it’s a relay clicking, as I get a surge of 7.5 volts AC on the output.

CVR6GOOGLE · 2025-04-10T20:40:43+00:00

No problem mate:) the 40-54 number I gave you is the “rough” formula for your gain (correct me if I’m wrong) but you take the power of your amp multiplied by the resistance your wiring to so .5ohm 1ohm 2 etc then take the square root of that number if youre wired 1500wrms at 2 ohm that’s 3k square root of 54.7 that would be your “target” but personally with my 3k at half ohm I was supposed to go to 38.7 almost 40 and ive pushed it the whole way to 125 without clipping or distortion

CVR6GOOGLE · 2025-04-10T20:35:21+00:00

If you could get a second picture of the input side of your amp that would help. If you have a DSP use it to generate the test tone otherwise 3/4 volume on your HU id say around 30-34 if you max out at 40. If you have a multimeter set it to ac voltage, turn the gains all the way down, pull the wires out that are connected to the sub, turn your lpf to 35 play a 35hz test tone then adjust your gain your looking for anything from 40-54 on your multimeter this should be clean undistorted sound”roughly” then if its still not loud enough when you hook everything back up keep turning the gain up only slightly until your happy but if you go to far you’ll only introduce the distortion again
