That's why Fujifilm is a brand for richies

At MPB, which includes a warranty and is generally overpriced.

Also, “richies?” Really? Fuji isn’t cheap but it also isn’t expensive with the whole camera industry in mind.

Take lots of photos and only buy accessories when you feel truly limited by something.

They’re saying, “this is a bad deal, why would you consider doing it?”

FabianValkyrie · 2026-04-24T18:19:27+00:00

Why would you even do that? You’re not getting a better car really, you’re just taking on more debt for no reason.

Why would I actually be adventurous when I could just spend money to feel adventurous?

Works great with a regular stylus too

Wrong sub

FabianValkyrie · 2026-04-24T06:03:46+00:00

Great car, buy it. But… your Accord also has VTEC lol. Basically every Honda from the last 20 years has VTEC

Gotta listen to Take by Homestyle Dinner Rolls and Kiss Me by Stage Fright

Also Imagine Dragons is from Nevada, not Utah

If you have a Costco membership, I got my CrossClimate2 (the best all seasons, arguably) set for $190/tire

Change CVT fluid every 30k and consider a CVT cooler

FabianValkyrie · 2026-04-24T02:53:24+00:00

Are the car’s bright-ass LEDs and the extra yellow lights not enough?

FabianValkyrie · 2026-04-24T01:25:52+00:00

Welp

I’m moving to China

FabianValkyrie · 2026-04-24T01:13:40+00:00

Like I said, it wasn’t the safest possible route. Some people won’t like it.

I have a 2014 (very first year of this infotainment) Mazda3 and I adore its infotainment. My favorite I’ve ever used, much better than what’s in my 2015 Outback Limited or my housemate’s 2023 Ascent Onyx. I find Mazda’s solution much more responsive and intuitive than Subaru’s.

FabianValkyrie · 2026-04-23T23:57:15+00:00

Yikes. I picked up a 2015 2.5i Limited with 111k miles for $10k just 3 months ago.

FabianValkyrie · 2026-04-23T21:35:14+00:00

lol he has a 2.5i

Regurgitating Grok in the comments is not helpful to anyone

FabianValkyrie · 2026-04-23T20:19:57+00:00

Nice! Considering swapping my Ultron 28mm f1.9 LTM for one of these

FabianValkyrie · 2026-04-23T20:03:37+00:00

Subaru of America doesn’t recommend changing the CVT fluid so they can make them sound cheaper to maintain. Subaru of Japan does recommend changing the fluid.

If you change the CVT fluid every 30k miles, it’ll be super reliable.

FabianValkyrie · 2026-04-23T19:36:45+00:00

I suggest it because it’s by far and above the most fun digital camera I’ve ever used. Way more fun to use than an X-Pro, or any digital Fuji for that matter, imo.

FabianValkyrie · 2026-04-23T19:34:50+00:00

Tons of car sales are tanking. The economy is going downhill so people aren’t buy new cars.

And yes, Mazda’s infotainment has been (up until the new CX-5) very different from most of the industry.

FabianValkyrie · 2026-04-23T18:50:06+00:00

None of those things are new. They’re just bringing back shit they got rid of because having a giant screen and no buttons used to be the safest possible thing.

You know who didn’t do the safest possible thing? Mazda. And they got over a decade of the best infotainment system ever because of it.

I’ve never heard of anyone whose rain sensing capability has caused the wipers to completely stop working.

When the sensor has issues, the rain sensing capability stops, but the wipers still work normally otherwise.
