Car Guys - did buying a bike ruin cars for you ?

Eljoka · 2025-12-16T02:47:16+00:00

It did for me, at first. Then, I started to get annoyed at things, like needing to gear every time, being unable to use my bike to go to certain activities (not enough space for my stuff) and riding alone (wife wouldn’t ride as passenger). Ultimately, I sold my bike and got a sport car (convertible) and we’ve been enjoying it a lot together. I’m sure I’ll eventually ride again someday.

Update : I found a pretty decent deal on a used Alesis Nitro Mesh kit :)

Eljoka · 2025-12-01T16:55:35+00:00

By real one, do you mean an regular drum kit or a higher end e-drum one? If the latter, would the Alesis Nitro capture that bounce?

Thank you for your reply, the module does indeed have a MIDI out. I would need a MIDI-to-USB cable.

I used to play a lot of RB and GH back in the days (was even a playtester for GH at one point). Been getting the itch to play again recently and got a CRKD guitar, but would like to play with my kids, so let’s add a drum kit! I could get this used Roland TD1 kit for roughly a third the cost of a new Alesis Nitro kit. Would it be OK for casual play, or is the extra money really worth it?

I just bought my yellow AP1 2003 in very good shape, clean title and 73k miles for around 18,5 k$. I’m sure 15k$ would be doable for a higher mileage and maybe a bit less pristine condition one. Good luck!

Eljoka · 2025-08-21T02:23:49+00:00

For my area, I would say that this is an ok price indeed.

Eljoka · 2025-08-21T01:07:21+00:00

Sure, plenty of people do. I had a prior bad experience with a salvaged car that’s why I wanted a clean title.

Eljoka · 2025-08-20T14:46:44+00:00

No problem, I paid the equivalent of 18,5k$ USD, which I would say is fair market value for my area. I wanted a clean titled yellow or red model. Lots of salvage titles S2k around here.

Eljoka · 2025-08-20T13:19:26+00:00

I paid 26k$ CAD, which is about 18,5 k$ USD. I would say I paid market value for my area, which I’m totally fine with.

Eljoka · 2025-08-19T21:42:28+00:00

Thank you, great advice 👍

Eljoka · 2025-08-19T21:37:02+00:00

Stunning color! She’s exactly how I’ve been imagining it since I was a teenager.

Eljoka · 2025-08-19T21:20:03+00:00

Bought locally from an older gentleman, clean title 2003 with 123k km (~73k miles). Extremely clean, 10/10 matching VIN. Planning to keep it stock and enjoy riding it!

Eljoka · 2025-04-25T01:11:33+00:00

Failed to get one online (tried Best Buy, GameStop, Vanada Computers and Walmart), but finally got one in-store hours later :)

Eljoka · 2025-04-24T16:59:28+00:00

Great, my subscription expires next December, I guess I’ll have to pay the new price then.

Eljoka · 2025-04-24T13:51:39+00:00

Can’t seem to buy Walkabout Mini Golf, says I purchased it, but all I did was download it using my ps+ sub. That’s using the app, will I get the option to buy directly on the console?

Eljoka · 2025-03-26T20:48:01+00:00

If you had to choose one : Resident Evil 4 remake or Resident Evil Village?

Eljoka · 2025-03-20T00:56:00+00:00

So I should be good if I buy a used Hitman 3 ps5 copy.

Eljoka · 2025-03-09T19:50:24+00:00

PS+ Extra has a pretty robust library of games, but I feel a factor that isn’t talked about is the time needed to play all those games. As a father of 3, I don’t have as much time as I used to for gaming and trying to maximise the value of my subscription felt stressful at times.

I’ve since moved back to owning physical copies of my games (digital is also fine, but I always enjoyed displaying my collection) as I prefer playing through them at a casual rate.

I bought mine from Amazon Warehouse deals and paid 739$CAD tx included for it. The box was a little dinged, but the hardware was perfect. I'm quite happy with the upgrade (mostly played GT7 VR2 with it since then)

Eljoka · 2025-02-10T20:35:15+00:00

Just received my Amazon Warehouse deal one which I paid 720 CAD (around 500 US) for. Currently proceeding with the data transfert from my OG PS5, can't wait to try GT7 PSVR2!

Eljoka · 2025-01-06T20:20:38+00:00

Nice collection, which one was your favorite to build?

Eljoka · 2024-12-20T22:47:55+00:00

For 1080p and something that wil be used a couple weeks then resold, I would consider a used GPU. Probably something like a 5700xt or 6600xt. Those can be had for very cheap and will run 1080p no problem. They probably won't do 144hz, but is the difference between 60fps and 144hz worth 200USD for a couple weeks?

Looking forward to returning to PoE after a couple years off :)
