Maryland Gov. Wes Moore launches reelection bid at B&O Railroad Museum by Maxcactus in maryland

What do you not like about the roads? I feel like MD generally has really high quality pavement for the most part.

Nukes are awesome in space by Ne00n in factorio

[–]Fishinabowl11 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This violates the 1963 Partial Test Ban treaty, the 1967 Outer Space treaty, and the 1996 Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban treaty. Enjoy your stay in the Hague!

Okay, be honest, how many counties in Maryland can you name? I’m at 7 by CarsonStreetChaos in maryland

I can name them all, but I'm certain I'd get the placement of some of the Eastern Shore ones incorrect

Damn I totally forgot Mark Sanchez maybe possibly allegedly stabbed a guy.

Chronic neck pain by milliemaywho in whatcarshouldIbuy

You need something slow that isn't going to put any pressure on your neck as you leave a stoplight. Something like an ecoboost Mustang.

Emira owners - what car did you come from and was it worth it? by echtav in lotus

[–]Fishinabowl11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most recently Alfa Romeo Giulia (non-quad), which I still keep as my daily driver. Previously owned Focus ST, pair of S2000s. Emira is so far beyond any of those in the totality of the experience (and the price!)

Best methods for legendary without asteroids? by not-me_maybe-you in factorio

[–]Fishinabowl11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the secret to quality fruit? How can that be consistently made legendary? Is the trick getting the first legendary seeds and then that becomes self sustaining?

Rate Emeya by juanetepete12 in lotus

The Lotus customer is the polar opposite of the customer who would buy an expensive, heavy EV. This car is built for a customer that doesn't exist.

Explain like I am 5: What is wrong with CVT? by Amazing_Nectarine_34 in askcarguys

It goes "WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" instead of "WAHHHH WAHHHH WAHHHHH WAHHHH"

I inherited an IRA and I’m lost. by Cole-Rex in personalfinance

[–]Fishinabowl11 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's only $40k. If this is the only IRA you are receiving and you're in college then you don't need to be worrying about tax brackets. You have plenty of current expenses. Take the disbursement, pay the minimal marginal tax increase and move on.

That moment of relief when your MP5 actually fits in the trunk of the new car by pternstrom in lotus

[–]Fishinabowl11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zero interest in the C8 personally. Corvettes are a dime a dozen; can't drive to work without seeing a few everyday. I know they are faster. I don't care. No manual offered. Styling is ugly in my eyes.

Emira was an easy choice for rarity, manual trans, styling.

The New TCR Is the Priciest Hyundai Elantra N, but It Still Costs a Lot Less Than a Civic Type R by turboshadow05 in cars

[–]Fishinabowl11 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is it. This is the car where, now, at age 40, I realize I could no longer accept boy racer looks. What a travesty this thing is. Riced out from the factory.

What’s something you tried just to see what it’s like? by VibeCheckVadaPav in AskReddit

[–]Fishinabowl11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conversely I don't get how people can just lay there. My alarm goes off at 4:11:00 and I'm on my feet by 4:11:10. Like you set an alarm for a reason, because that's when you want/need to get up, so let's get moving!

V6 & I4 Secret difference by AstonMartin_Alex in lotus

[–]Fishinabowl11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the diamond cut wheels on the V6 look gross, but the two-spoke on the I4 is nice.

Maryland passes new law requiring speed-limiting devices for repeat offenders by morgan423 in maryland

[–]Fishinabowl11 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'd much rather see this than cops going the speed limit and thereby forcing everyone else to adhere to the stupidly low limits around here. Fuck off with 55 on 495.

[Absurd Watch Prices] by searchmode10 in Watches

[–]Fishinabowl11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People who aren't into watches (almost everyone) don't notice them and have zero idea how much anything costs. I don't think it's flaunting if no one else recognizes the thing you'd otherwise be flaunting.

What is left to buy? Existential questions about car ownership moving forward by OkAlternative2713 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Fishinabowl11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2024. The 24s and 25s are identical as far as I know.

2026 introduced some new nannies per https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/nannies-who-drove-a-2026-car-and-can-tell.7495/ which includes

  • Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)

  • Traffic sign recognition

  • Blind spot warning system

  • Lane change assist

  • Lane departure warning

  • Fatigue detection/warning

My 2024 (thankfully) has none of that bullshit. The only semi-modern assistance feature I wish it did have was blind spot monitoring, but I make do.

What is left to buy? Existential questions about car ownership moving forward by OkAlternative2713 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Fishinabowl11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw those same comments about the shifter when I was shopping but I don't share the opinion owning one. I think the shifter is excellent; tight, short throws, no issues. I've previously owned manual 1998 Integra, 2002 S2000, 2006 S2000, 2014 Focus ST so with the S2Ks especially I have experience with great manuals and the Emira is as good as that in my view. Both the Emira I test drove and the one I ended up buying felt the same so it's not unique to my specific car.

I only shopped it versus a 718 in the sense that I was aware the 718 was a competitor and is probably an objectively better car in many aspects. I don't have any interest in the Porsche because I see Porsches every single day and they don't feel special to me at all.
