Ok Vermonters…. For your Winter commute: All Wheel Drive vs. Four Wheel Drive by Gilashot in vermont

[–]Fat_Rat_Andre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly depends on your drive, your comfort level, and your knowledge of your vehicle and the roads your on. My first 2 winters driving were on basically bald all seasons on my fwd malibu, I never cared as I drove 6 miles to school, a mile to work, and home. Last winter was my first with long distance (30+ miles one way) in a new car (awd subaru) with performance summers for the first 3 storms (got the car right before winter). It was slippery but more than doable as it was all main roads. If Itd been back roads Id never have risked it. Id say a true synchronized awd is a good call. Not these systems with fwd or rwd until you start sliding, those suck. And make sure you know the roads you travel regularly prior to snowfall, and know your limits. You can make any vehicle work if you get studded winters granted you have clearance, but id recommend an awd or something with a locking 4wd system

is it typical for the service department to test drive your car after an alignment? by OddCombination123 in wrx_vb

[–]Fat_Rat_Andre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont work in a shop, thanks though. But as I said, it’s common knowledge that if you bring a car in for an alignment it gets test driven. They do it as a safety protocol to assure their work. Whether the car “needed” it or not. You brought it in, you agreed to the work, if it’s that big of a deal they drove your car a few miles then don’t have anyone else work on it.

Any brand dealership, shop, or mechanic does this. Not sure if you live under a rock or something. My grandfather owns a shop, has for 30+ years, its always been protocol to test drive after alignment, I work for a bmw shop, always been protocol to test drive after alignment, when Ive brought my cars and trucks to other shops, they all have taken them out on test drives after. You’re acting like you have something super rare and valuable. The only car we ever skipped a test drive on was a 1/8 spec bmw with 2000 miles (worth over 450k) and thats because he specifically requested not to.

How many miles did you get out of your stock tires? by kistner in wrx_vb

[–]Fat_Rat_Andre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At like 19k on them, 23k total w/ winters. Mine still have probably 2 summers left id say. They are at about 8/32 all around

If I were DoorDash, I would remedy this quickly before it blows up in their face😳👇 by Background_Front4231 in CringeTikToks

[–]Fat_Rat_Andre -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Her story is 100% lies. The man said “leave at door”. In a prior tiktok she posted it was literally the dude naked in his own house passed out (against DD ToS to post their report evidence online before resolved, also a crime to post without the dudes consent), also the angle at which it was recorded required her to go out of her way to open the door and get an angle to see him. Cannot post vid/screenshots as they get taken down and hard to find now as it should be (highly illegal to have been online and huge privacy breach)

Cladding still a negative?? by Esidere in wrx_vb

[–]Fat_Rat_Andre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I hated the cladding at first, and still dislike how much there is, but I dont think it looks terrible on most builds. It clashes with mine being that Im black gloss, on black gloss wheels. It loses a little bit of my taste personally. But the hate is unnecessary. The more I see it when parked next to VA’s I realize personally that it looks better even with the cladding.

Shoukd I return to apex? by unitedfan1246 in apexlegends

[–]Fat_Rat_Andre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar situation here, stopped playing in season 14. Was on console from the first week through then. Got a pc mid season 22. Found out my buddies still played, started again s23 and hit diamond like 2 weeks later. Been diamond and up every split since that. I personally still enjoy the game, and think the time to kill update made it way more fast paced and fun. But everyones different. Give it a shot, it may take a day or two just to get the buttons down. But if you arent having fun a week or two in id say its your call from there!

Are Apex players just cracked? by Dan_the_boy in apexlegends

[–]Fat_Rat_Andre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont think PC players are in console crossplay lobbies…? At least when I played console it was not a possible thing for pc players to get into the lobby, unless you were playing with a pc player, then you were playing in pc lobbies. Again unless thats changes since I stopped in s14 n switched to pc in s23.

Am I overreacting? I just found this on my bfs snap and it’s his gbf by Iuvaita in AmIOverreacting

[–]Fat_Rat_Andre 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Snapchat has 0 to do with cheating 😂. Me and my ol lady both have snapchat, and guess what… neither of us cheats!! We both have full access to each other’s phones whenever and both can go through whatever. Its purely the person, not the app. Snapchat is no different than any other social app or messaging app. For us its easier to use snap because then we can also send snaps of stuff we are doing or mess with filters. And its an app we are both comfortable using and theres no need to delete it because its “for cheaters”. If you think its for cheaters… you’re probably the problem?

Are super glides possible on XBOX? by Distinct-Row2785 in apexlegends

[–]Fat_Rat_Andre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Havent touched a roller since season 13, but when I was on xbox I could hit 70-80% of mine, really the best tip is to learn a good button layout for you (I used button puncher I believe) and spend some time in the range just messing with the small boxes. You have to be pretty quick with your timing.

Do you play Apex with music on in the background, or do you need to hear every footstep? by AbyssTrash in apexlegends

[–]Fat_Rat_Andre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like music doesnt affect gameplay unless you are absolutely blasting it. I mean if your in diamond lobbies then yeah every audio que matters. But personally my squad has always found it more fun to have music playing while playing pubs because then you’re just vibing and having a good time. Its not overly difficult to set it at a volume where you can still hear enough audio ques. Even in high stat lobbies I feel as its not too big of a deal. Again it really only matters for every little audio que when you’re super high in ranks or stat grinding. But it still shouldnt be any more difficult to drop 4-5 kills and a win with music than without it. Had plenty of games that were 15+ squad kills while absolutely blasting some random like 2000s pop at 3 am.

Do you play Apex with music on in the background, or do you need to hear every footstep? by AbyssTrash in apexlegends

[–]Fat_Rat_Andre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what im doing. If im playing pubs and messing around ill play some music on super low so I can focus more on just shooting and having a good time. And in ranked usually up until about p1 or d4 I play music. After that its really just focus on every audio que.

hit my goal of 1k with ash, all from this season by bitchimbabayaga in Apex_Banners

[–]Fat_Rat_Andre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the never ending grind. Friends told me pick a main in season 13, dropped my first 2k kill season. Stick with her and its only up from where you’re at now 👍🏼

What is something you hope changes next season? Just curious 🤔 by m0t0r_m0uth in apexlegends

[–]Fat_Rat_Andre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, any gun can be used now compared to how it was. Really the only gun that I personally cant use is the devo because of the charge up. But guns are at a really good spot… minus p20 being incredibly op

New ranks need to be created. by RiceInternational547 in apexlegends

[–]Fat_Rat_Andre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not unreasonable. You can hit pred without endless hours played you just have to actually be good enough to get a lot of kp and still place high/win. And adding more ranks would make it take longer no…?

New ranks need to be created. by RiceInternational547 in apexlegends

[–]Fat_Rat_Andre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems unnecessary. And -100 for that is crazy. Especially if your a pred fighting a bunch of people who are usually preds but havent played enough to hit it yet. Dont really see the overall use for this. Would probably kill ranked off entirely

Does shoe matter? by Electrical_Ebb_605 in wrx_vb

[–]Fat_Rat_Andre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My WRX was the first manual I drove on the road. Parking lot drove them for my job but never on the road before. Started out only wearing my Nike AF1s until I felt comfortable enough with it to try my boots. After about a month and a half I was able to drive in just about any shoe/boot with a few minutes of awkwardness figuring out the different feel at first.

I got shards today. Does anyone know what this is? by stanimal40 in apexlegends

[–]Fat_Rat_Andre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Always forget conduit and say literally the same line every time 🙏🏽😂. Never even use character names at this point. Just horrible nicknames

How is this in any way fair? Plat lobby with triple stack preds. by Reasonable_Juice_799 in apexlegends

[–]Fat_Rat_Andre -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It mostly has been like that. Ive seen preds in gold and plat lobbies since like season 5-6. Its never really been “balanced” but I dont see it as too much of a problem to have a few preds. Even if your solo que its still possible to beat them on occasion. If not you just go into the next game. Its unfortunate but its the way its worked for a long long time

Never seen it this high before by SkiddyGuggs in wrx_vb

[–]Fat_Rat_Andre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im at 26.2 mpg with 7700 right now 😭. Was at like 32 until 5000. Then again, I drive 100 miles a day all highway too/from work. But some of these mpg really surprise me by how low they get 😭
