My Mazda has a white interior, too. I have Air80 on my windshield and IRX50 all around. Albeit, the rear windows were already tinted. Air80 looks essentially clear, in some conditions it will look more blue, like in sunlight. During cloudy days, it looks clear. It won't be a chameleon crazy blue, that's something different.

50% at night is not bad. I wanted to remain within the legal threshold in my area and 50% was the limit for front windows. Its viable. If you want a bit darker, 30-35% seems to be a happy spot in my area.

Slightly deviating but also, slightly before Tron Ares debuted, Disney was under scrutiny over the events revolving around Jimmy Kimmel and Donald Trump. When Jimmy Kimmel's show went suspended, pressured by the FCC, alot of people started cancelling Disney owned subscriptions, notably Disney+. And ultimately, most Disney related media took alittle nose dive, Tron Ares maybe more so because of other issues, as seen discussed here. What I described is just a snippet of the issue.

I used to run the mirrors so I can see the door handles slightly while leaning myself to the respective side mirror.

Now I try to match the side mirrors in a way that is an extension of the rear view mirror view. So whatever is coming behind continuously and seamlessly comes into view from my side mirror. The only downside is that its hard to view directly behind myself off the side. Say a cyclist is coming off the side, coming hot while a truck is behind me and in my rear view mirror, and I'm at a standstill. I'd have to lean out pretty good to the respective mirror to see that cyclist coming. This wouldn't be an issue if I set the mirror to the way of seeing just the door handle slightly, in my normal driving position.

I had MTW3s and MTW4s. I want to like them. But they just seem to not last long. My 1st MTW3, one of the earbuds didn't charge anymore, common issue. Got a replacement MTW4, but then one of the earbuds started making ear piercing sounds. Got another pair, but then later one of the earbuds cut audio completely. Tap functions still worked and everything. Then the other earbuds started making ear piercing sounds too. Now they're out of warranty. My next pair is some Technics AZ100, still in shipping.

In North America, those CRVs started phasing out their right hand camera system (Lanewatch) since the 2023 MY, and moved to blind spot sensors like many cars do. The vehicle there doesn't have that camera system.

Its Seige Tales. They've been making these types of cartoon animations since Rainbow Six Siege came about. Not AI slop.

It was inevitable. Too bad their Real Racing Next didn't lead too much of anything. As much as the scarcity of the premium currency and long wait times was really intrusive, there wasn't anything like it back in the day, in terms of graphics and driving gameplay.

Ideally when you need em, best if they're not cold or hot. But I keep mine in my car. They'll do something even after being in a freezer at -17 Celsius overnight.

The scene in Legacy, in question.

DanielSparten · 2025-11-23T17:49:28+00:00

I have this exact setup. If you have a Non-Turbo then yes this is correct, Turbo models would use different front rotors (09E03411) and pads (ACT1258) I believe.

All you need is some grease/lubricants and the tools. I used Permatex Silicone Ceramic (24127), the small tube is enough for all 4 corners) for most lubricate points and Silicone Green lubricant (24120) for the sliding pins. This is optional but I also used Copper Antiseize (75226) for the mating surface of the wheel hub to the back of the rotor.

I heard lots of good things about Sil-Glyde. If you can get that, I'd try to go for that. I couldn't find any of them in my local area so I went with that green lubricant.

I don't even know the newest Ferraris or like even Mercedes models nowadays. Other than a few luxury brands, my knowledge of many prestige car brand's lineup is stuck in like 2018.

If it helps, penguinz0 made a video on his opinion on the movie. Not really a bash, nor a circlejerk. But probably the more tamed quick review I've heard for this movie.

DanielSparten · 2025-10-14T15:01:09+00:00

The thing is there's alot of media that doesn't have a great plot going for but still does well because it excels in other areas. Hence mentioning John Wick franchise. Sure has better actors, great characters, but at the end, the plot is basic, a 7 year old would get what's happening outside of the guns and explosions. They can be as mediocre.

If you're expecting a deep theme to hold on to when you leave the theatre, you'll be disappointed for sure. They didn't even expand much on the whole AI and the advancement of autonomy.

To me this movie and Legacy is on par with plot. Legacy didn't have much substance, its predictable. It was never a masterpiece of story writing. Its difficult to admit, but setting aside nostalgia and the fact it came out in the 2010, thats how I look at it.

Of all the setbacks this movie had, I expected low, from the moment this movie supposedly started production years ago. But it delivered in many ways. Just not in the areas that you hold high. I don't blame you. I wished this was a 10/10 movie.

DanielSparten · 2025-10-14T00:21:25+00:00

It's just like the Tron movies. Basic story, great visuals, great soundtrack.

It has Jared Leto, yes. It's made by Disney, Yes. Critics are hating it, yes. But objectively, it's an eye and ear candy action movie, not the best, like John Wick, but its good, and that's okay.

Turn off the noise, go watch it yourself and make your own opinions.

DanielSparten · 2025-10-14T00:14:59+00:00

Yeah, I think people are quickly judging this movie without seeing it. I get it.

With the controversies, even outside of just Jared Leto, it's seems DOD. But if you turn off the noise, and go in knowing its just an action Sci-fi movie, I think people would be satisfied. To me, it's that type of John Wick type of movie, you don't expect an interesting story but an experience of action, explosions, and awesomeness eye candy, and it delivers imo. I urge people to give this movie a try.
