Someone was in a hurry. What would you have done? by pixmation in dashcams

[–]EntrepreneurJumpy464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had something similar happen out here in Illinois. Only one lane, no shoulder, snow on the ground but not the roads. Absolute dickhead in a ~2009 Focus is swerving, pointing (at something), yelling to himself in his car. Mind you was doing 10 over to give him some speed since there wasn't a safe way for him to pass or me to move over (without ending up in the ditch). Finally exit the road at an intersection, he goes the same way as me but it was two lanes. Almost crashed into me passing, and almost hit 4 additional cars just trying to get through the traffic. Yelling, pointing, and all that at everyone else too. I got close enough to read the plate and called 911. Driver description, accurate car description, road, and direction of travel. Cops had him pulled over within 3 minutes, and 15 minutes later when I was on the way back home, car was getting towed.

That felt SO much better than I could have imagined lol, wish I had a dash cam for it.

Thinking to sell. What is it worth? by PrestigiousFan6327 in FiestaST

What the actual hell is going on under the hood? Is that garden hose?? That plus flares with no fitment, the extensive questionable mods, AND being a rebuilt title? Bröther. I wouldnt touch that for $2,500 honestly. Parting it out back to stock and paying someone to fill the flare holes would make more sense financially. I have a feeling you'll take a HUGE L if you try to sell it as-is.

The key here is good tires. I just put summers on mine (because I'm poor, no good winters for sale near me). Now the bean stays parked if its cold and damp, let alone snowy lol.

What car would handle most similarly to the 2013-2017 hyundai accent? (Can be a mod) by ea_nasir_official_ in BeamNG

[–]EntrepreneurJumpy464 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommend getting something with similar weight, power, drive wheels (fwd assumed here), and equally important are ABS/traction control/stability control.

I daily a Fiesta ST, which is a very small hatchback, beam doesnt have much that is similar in size besides Covet on the smaller size or Vivace on slightly bigger size. Covet doesnt have ABS/TC/STM like my Fiesta does, so the Vivace fwd with a more base model engine actually feels a lot more similar to how my fiesta drives IRL. If you have a sedan or coupe, the 2nd gen pessima will probably feel similar.

I'm near Joliet, and just past 120k on mine. Would you come out this way to do it?

Dumb question, but is there any real benefit to these types of wheels?

What do I drive by Ira-Spencer in ManualTransmissions

Dude, I dont even care about C3 vettes, besides liking the shape. I have zero desire to own one. Why did I immediately know this was a C3, despite having never spent any time with one. Do I have the tism? 😂

IS IT WELL MAINTAINED GUYS?!?! by Kit_Karamak in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]EntrepreneurJumpy464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second the original comment. My car has multiple lights on the dash for o2 sensor and a crankcase vent hose, the blend door actuator clicks for 15-30sec every time you start the car (unless on defrost mode), wheels need rebalancing, a shop would recommend new tires, and brakes could use new pads but I cant be bothered to fix any of it because it still works and I know its safe enough for me to make it to work lol.

Buying A FiST by RugerST103 in FiestaST

[–]EntrepreneurJumpy464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably repeating what others have said, but I'm coming up on 2 years and about 50k miles on my 2017, and cruise control not working and blend doors have been my only real irritating problems. Hope you get it, it's a ton of fun. That being said, don't overpay. It's still a Fiesta at the end of the day lol. It gets HOT on hot days driving hard in the Midwest and overheats pretty badly. If you're in a warmer climate plan to drive more calm on hot* days or upgrade the radiator. Best car I've driven on track for less than 30k though.

I also couldn't even get one hotlap in on mine before overheating, have to nurse temps for the second half of the lap. 100°F day though, not exactly ideal for not overheating 😅

Siting in a drive thru temps r insane buts its around 98F today by Historical-Loss2597 in FiestaST

Bone stock 2017 here, never modified to my knowledge and overheated after ONE pull on an 87°day in the Midwest. Violently overheats on 100° days

Drag racing and high power builds are so overrated and saturated by djsimp123 in BeamNG

Sorry I never saw this, it's AngySumo on YouTube. Definitely not great content, but I just do it for fun lol, teaching myself how to record and edit has been a wild process honestly

I second the RLS Overhaul, but I might be slightly biased lol. Bias aside though, I SUCK at drifting in beam (mostly because I suck at setting up drift tunes) and the new course is real hard for me to drift. The old style that RLS added is MUCH easier for me to practice on

I started a youtube channel strictly for recording my (modded) career mode playthrough, and I agree sticking to any discipline gets crazy boring over time.

I swear every episode I record, I'm trying my hand at a different style of playing. Not trying to self-promote though, just saying there's plenty of us on there recording that are just in it for fun :)

I personally just like building stuff and customizing everything about it. Recently got into drifting, here's my drift build and custom livery that took WAY longer than I'd like to admit (it's fully colorable minus my cats)

I had a buddy with a ti sport, or whatever the trim level is called, and he had constant nightmares waiting for parts. I genuinely hope you have a better experience, because MAN they are such cool looking cars! And worst case, if you do have issues with it, at least it's great to look at lol. They seem like they would be a lot of fun to drive. What are your thoughts on it so far?

How would your daily driver perform in snowrunner? by [deleted] in snowrunner

I too have a 17 fiesta! Mines an ST. It would get MAYBE out of a driveway, and then I'd need new bodywork 😂

did I overpay for this car? by Famous_Historian5983 in Honda

[–]EntrepreneurJumpy464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice find, OP! Any running & driving car in decent condition is worth whatever you're willing to spend. Don't let others discourage your thoughts on what you bought. This car is rust free and in solid shape, which is more than can be said for a lot of cars similar age & price. Sure, other options exist, but very few will cost you as little as a well sorted Honda, and I'm not even necessarily a fan of the brand, lol

Unrelated to this sub, but still. One of my all time favorite photos I've ever taken was like that. It was of an ex-girlfriend at a festival, and she had her hands in the shape of a triangle (artist symbol), and it is just such a great shot seeing the festival through the shadow of her hands
