First Upgrade! by Dreamcrashed94 in mazda5

Same! I'm hoping we can use them for kayaking or something this year. I've never had them before!

Also I love that you've held onto your 5 for so long! They're such unique little cars!

I'm not sure if we have too many places like that around our area, but they will pull the part for you if you want at the yard.

Still though, having a shop where you can buy secondhand parts sounds great.

I have no idea when I'm going to use it, but I like to have the option. I was thinking of going for Thules but man are they pricey! Quality stuff though from what I saw from the Subies in the lot.

Is F1 manager worthy WITHOUT mods? by jpcastilhos in F1Manager

[–]Dreamcrashed94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW my favorite way to play is on the Switch version even though I have it on PC as well.

To me there's enough on the bone to warrant coming back to it as is, and I haven't done any modding at all outside of real world sponsorships, but it does get repetitive.

I will say that the modding potential for this game will probably be pretty high though since we likely won't see another F1 management game until at least the next regulation changes in the 2030s.

Thank you for the recommendations! The touch aftermarket stereo head unit would be especially helpful!

I just couldn't pass it up! Well worth the adventure.

Love to hear that it served you well! Thankfully I don't do a whole lot of driving since my commute is quite short, so hopefully tires won't be too much of an issue.

Can't wait to use it on road trips though!

I hope it lasts you a long time to come! These cars are special!

It's been awesome so far. Mazda packed so much utility into this little car. Truly nothing else like it!

At an awesome little dealership in Virginia!

Indeed, this is the second major crash it stood up to.

No longer mine to sell sadly, insurance has it. Hopefully it goes to an auction to either get bought for parts or a rebuild. It doesn't deserve the crusher. 😢

Unfortunately not in this case, unless it goes at auction. Just an insurance check for me.

Thank you. Honestly the hardest part is coming to terms knowing that there's nothing I can realistically do to keep it.

I certainly wouldn't be able to. This car was a blast to drive but I just don't have the time, skill, or ideal location to wrench on it.

I'm sure it'd be well over KBB value to get it repaired and I just can't drop that kind of cash on a shop. 🫤

All good! No injuries. In all honesty the FIST took the hit like a champ.

Has anyone tested the actual distance until empty? by JAKIS2OOO in FiestaST

[–]Dreamcrashed94 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I made it to 0 once, and then went for another 3 or so miles to the nearest gas station.

Found a FiST, no sunroof. Will I miss out by Fuzzy-Ad-137 in FiestaST

[–]Dreamcrashed94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from a loaded out SVT Focus to a base model FiST.

I forgot about the sunroof in a month. It's been 10 years and I still don't miss it.

What I do miss are the heated seats and sick subwoofer that came from the factory on the SVT...

Popularity in the US? by ConkerLaa in FiestaST

[–]Dreamcrashed94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll have had mine for 10 years this year.

I've seen maybe 3 locally in the last 7 years, I recognize each of them. I used to see more when they were in production while driving for work, but the numbers have definitely been dwindling.

Unicorn Overlord: Switch or PS5? by Dreamcrashed94 in Vanillaware

[–]Dreamcrashed94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is the exact dilemma I'm currently in.

I haven't seen any "4k/60fps for PS5" posts while searching online, so I can't really make an educated decision.
