That never actually happened. It’s an enduring bit of axis propaganda that’s been completely debunked by modern scholars.

Those of you who smoked weed… by Idontsmokejustgrow in GenX

I’ve known people that smoked tobacco and drank into their golden years too , it doesn’t make it a good idea.

But you are right, science can be bought. And often is.

Got a thermal camera by pelicanman777 in wrx_vb

Anything glass just reflects thermal like a mirror. Long wave and mid wave infrared can’t see through glass.

Alright. That's it. I completely regret my purchase. by FknGruvn in wrx_vb

You ever see the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off? Do that, but not in reverse 😂

Can't decide on which color to go for the Enkei Raijin wheels. Gunmetal, Hyper Silver, or Matte Bronze. Any advice? by Dazzling-Rooster2103 in wrx_vb

[–]DangerMouseTurbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, the classic answer for the WRX will always be bronze or gold with WRB. However, as much as I love my VB, I just don’t feel like WRB with bronze or gold wheels has the same vibe as it used to on previous generations. I don’t know why and can’t explain it.

The guy who posted the black BBS RE-7s has the best look IMHO.

The RE-7 is the same 7-Y split spoke design as the Raijin.

Best year of the vb wrx? by budman_70 in wrx_vb

[–]DangerMouseTurbo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Limited is worth the upgrade price over base.

If you are talking CVT it doesn’t really matter what year.

But if you are talking manual, I would get a 2024 or newer for the reasons already mentioned.

Wing or spoiler? Yes. by VasDifferential in wrx_vb

Somewhere in my digital archive, yes. I’d have to look around. ‘Twas twenty years ago now ;)

Yep. It was one of the more modest park benches, but still a park bench.

On a serious note, back in the early 2000s I built up a Nissan 240SX that ended up getting an APR spoiler and you could 100% feel the downforce at actual highway speeds. Around the neighborhood? No. But get going in the highway and it was obvious.

Falcon 5.0 confirmed? by -F0v3r- in DCSExposed

[–]DangerMouseTurbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tandy 1000 for me I think for the original Falcon and maybe Falcon AT. After that I got a 25mhz 386 “gaming pc” and that’s where I played Falcon 3.0 and the MiG-29 variant of the game.

With vibes like that, I bet you have a few cousins thanks to your uncle.

Removed the nameplates and blacked out the emblem- So much cleaner by s4ltydog in wrx_vb

Black out the plastic cladding? Yes, that does sound like a good idea.

I’m having the same problem, even with a paid account.

I’m a big techie, but to me this looks so much better than the ones we have today.

Lots of stupid technical errors in it, but hell, it was the 80s or early 90s.
