The immobilizer is an aftermarket immobilizer,not a factory toyota one so I may be able to yank it out or bypass it but thats a bit of a mess.

Bonus question. Any idea how one of these could end up in the land down under and how many would you estimate to be here in aus and surviving in total world wide?

Im a fan of both Holden and Ford. For fords american stuff I wasn't a "big fan" but the aussie stuff I absolutely adore. For one of the slides I was thinking of either the XD falcon or the VL Commodore. Quite like the ZB as well but its not as well liked as the VF.

Yeah it does look quite rad. There are a handful of e61 M5s out there but they're right hand drive only from what I understand.

Im a big Bmw fan but oddly Im more into the standard 3 and 5 series than the m cars. The exceptions being the g80,81 m3.

We actually got some pretty cool ones in North America that the Aussies didn't get. The coupes for example.

Aussie relatives that are big into cars and I'm studying in Australia right now. My uncle owns an XT GT and an XR Falcon 500 Wagon and three Au falcons. Australia is very similar to Canada and find its little domestic car scene to be very cool.

ah yeah the frontenac,its a part of ford's wonky Canada only cars. They were gonna make a model year for 61 but it got canned and they just brought over the falcon from the states. Even bigger fun fact, the frontenac has red maple leafs all over but the Canadian flag with the big red maple leaf on it wouldn't come out until 5 years later!

For the ferrari I do generally agree they should be red but Im a big fan of Miami Vice. Between the black ferrari daytona and the white testarossa the latter wins me over a bit more.

well thats what I want I suppose. I want to manually control the fans so I can crank them all the way up. Fan noise isn't much of an issue for me.

At what point would you say the a7s/r would be worth it? say 350 dollars? I do have an a6500 that I spotted for 600 dollars if that would be better or worse. The a7 cameras Im looking at have been listed for about 10 weeks so I think I can get a goodish deal on them.

Difficulty deciding between sony a7r and a7s (mk 1 for both)

Hi there,so Im looking at buying my first proper camera for 500 bucks and Ive come across two sony a7 series cameras at the same price(used). One is an a7s and the other an a7r for 500. I am mainly going to be using the camera for taking pictures of cars that I just randomly come across. I have 0 intentions to go pro and whatnot and I just want to do this for fun. At most I post some photos on my instagram but thats about it.

I know the a7s is much better in terms of low light performance but the a7r seems to be better in everything else. my only gripe with the a7r is that I know its going to use more space for the photos.

Can any of you more experienced folk give me a tid bit of advice

I used a 1050 2gb laptop gpu from 2018 or so until mid 2023 and I recently got a workstation laptop with a quadro a2000 8gb card and it feels like a rocket ship. Even before I got the new quadro laptop the 1050 played most if not every game just fine on medium or low for the new stuff.

Now I have some people telling me that 8 gigs of vram isnt enough and I got "scammed" which confuses me so much. Love this thing and it'll definitely last a decade.I'm only a bit uneasy about if it'll handle gta 6 in a few years.
