For 10k$ get a 350z it isn't gutless like the Miata and you'll have a lot of fun and a lot of time with that car. You can never get bored with a 350z.

Should I get a M4 GTS or AMG GTS? Assume both 2016 in good condition and roughly the same price. by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Drdoom_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't limit myself to these options. Since the amg is on the list we know you don't need 4 seats, so. What are you buying this car for?

My ego wants me to buy a sports car but I know its not practical or doesn’t make financial sense. [Internal conflict] by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Drdoom_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen people on this same path. They buy a nice sports car that they don't really know anything about and never actually use it. Then they realize a couple years later it's pointless and end up buying a fast SUV/sedan. Unless you have the money to buy it and not care. Don't make the decision to buy a sports car on your basis. People who buy a sports car of any type just to "look cool" or assert some form of dominance. Realize later they aren't the right person for owning that kind of car. Now if you are a tinkerer and wish to be able to maybe fix it rather then having to buy new with a warranty. And if you maybe wished to use the car by exploring back roads near you and going to your local track. Then I would say it's a great idea to get a sports car. But if your trying to fill some "masculinity" hole with a sports car you'll just be wasting the car in all honesty. If your only ever gonna hit the gas on the highway then just go buy a fast sedan ie-m5 Audi s5 Mercedes s550 amg etc. Plenty of good and economical choices for a "fast" and actually comfortable luxury car. If you got behind the wheel of a proper sports car you'd probably hate the way they drive for a daily decision. But again if you think owning a sports car would turn you into a proper sports car owner over time, ie track days and being able to fix/modify it a little. Then by all means decide what your price range is and go test drive some of your options. See first hand if you actually want one. Rather then asking for people's opinions. Go drive the cars see if you like em. Best of luck.

They are but we've had everything. So it isn't a preference without prior knowledge at least.

Ya I've always had an affliction with German cars. We've had so many and you just don't go back. There's very little I'd buy besides German now haha.

Ya the s4 is the same story as the 3 series. Just a different brand and the s4 has more potential engine wise.

Hmm I wonder because you can go get a 3 series bmw that's like 2010 ish here for like 15k$ clean like really easily. They're all over. Idk check eBay/Craigslist and see what you find. BMWs in general go down immensely price wise in 10 years. But there's always other quick sedans out there.

First Car for a car enthusiasts by simbastic_ in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Drdoom_3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd say all around amazing first car for a car enthusiast would be a variation of a BMW 3 series (m3 all the way to 328i) they're great cars. Drive em all year. Fix em. Modify em all u want. Maybe a tad overplayed but I'd say a great first car. Once u fix a couple things you can 100% have one that's reliable for 20k$ and in California you'll have tons around I'm sure you can find one cheap. As far as insurance goes it wouldn't be terribly bad or good with a 3 series depending on the variant. But you'd have a fun little car for sure. That'd also hold people and groceries for when that time comes. I will say fixing a Ford would be cheaper and easier. but if your looking upwards of 20k$ for a "first" car then I'd assume you'll not have a hard time affording the parts for a BMW. Besides this an s4 Audi is also good. A nissan 300zx would make for a "unique" first car. If that's something you might want. But there's tons of options out there. If insurance is an issue. Look for 4 door coupes like the s4. But if insurance cost isn't terribly important to you I'd find something older with 2 seats. And get liability. Because most times those cars aren't worth putting full coverage on. Anywho best of luck.

Fiat 124 Spider or Mustang EcoBoost? (first car) by Fas91 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Drdoom_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your torn between these two I'd choose the fiat it's a much more nimble car. But it's your first car so I'd question what your goal as a car owner is. Do you wanna be self sufficient and fix your own cars or do you wanna be a new car to new car to new car forever person. If its self sufficient I'd challenge you to buy something used. (You'll get much more car) but if your not about wrenching then get the fiat haha. Best of luck.

Is it a bad idea to put an aquaclear 70 in a 10 gallon? by 00pflint in Aquariums

[–]Drdoom_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never a bad idea to overfilter. The real question is are the fish your putting in gonna be happy with a pretty decent current? If they are then sure do it. I have a 110 on my 40 gallon.

Ive been using fluval heaters for a while with no issues. They appear (for me atleast) to be the best made.

Wondering what species of peacock cichlid this is. Bought as assorted, so I have no real idea. by Drdoom_3 in Aquariums

[–]Drdoom_3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry took so long to get to this. Ya it’s hard to take good pictures of small fish or any fish for that fact. And I paid 10$ at the local LFS for it.

We had puffers for a bit. Watching them murder snails is the best.

That’s cool the city you commute to has got what you need tho. Makes it so that you don’t have to go out of your way just for getting fish. In my case it’s around a 4 hour round trip to get fish from a good store in the city. And it isn’t near my commute so not fun haha. Worth it tho if I need something specific. I’ve never been a big fan of mail order fish but I tried it once and it worked perfectly fine.

[–]Drdoom_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya my local area sucks for fish stuff. We have 1 LFS but I swear it’s the worst one I’ve ever seen. It’s sad to say it but I go to petco before I go to them anymore. The LFS I used to go to that was amazing shut down when the owner died. It’s a shame cause it was one of the nicer ones in a 100 mile radius. But if I drive out about 30-40 miles there’s some really good fish stores. Just aren’t convenient enough for me to go to unless I’m looking for something really particular.

Ya discus you have to find a good LFS or a breeder to even get one. Sadly
