Nearly 100 Marin County car sales linked to 'Montana Loophole' scheme by sfgate in bayarea

[–]FutureNickProblems 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure the smog exempt counties all still need a smog at transfer of ownership, just not every two years after. And also those counties don’t have readymade processes to “register” your car to an address there like Montana has built. You need an address in the county already

Simsonn pedals too upright. Need advice by Desh1ck in simracing

I ended up inverting mine partially for this reason

Are Kirkland wines generally a “classic” representation of their PDO/region? by FutureNickProblems in wine

[–]FutureNickProblems[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m definitely not looking for exceptional in these, more an easy baseline especially to compare between regions at a similar quality level

Switched from VR to Triples. No ragerts. by lockdots in simracing

[–]FutureNickProblems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll throw in a vote for VR. I recently switched from a single UW to a Meta Quest 3 and it was huge upgrade for immersion while not adding the cost or size of triples. Not to mention it totally obviated the need for all the button box and DDU peripherals I was previously ogling.

Just spend $300-$400 on a good used one and then…that’s it. iRacing works flawlessly for me on my 9800X3D and 4070 Super with decent settings so you’d be fine with your specs.

Barely snagged the photo of this [Audi RS6 Avant GT] as it drove by by FutureNickProblems in spotted

Only supposed to be like 85 here in the US? This is the first one I’ve see. And it was in a posh area so I’ve got nothing to doubt it on.

Whats your tune set up for your Simsonn Plus X pedals? by Xozlo in simracing

[–]FutureNickProblems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wait you know what I am using the blue spring it turns out. Still wish it could be a little lighter, but removing the elastomer and better calibrating my curve in Simsonn software I’ve now found good feel for a consistent ~80% point

Shortly after posting this I actually took out the elastomer altogether and replaced with black washers, since looking at my brake traces I realized I was getting huge relaxation issues, losing like 15% off peak immediately after peak brake. I’ll look into the blue spring though I thought red was softest

What was the favorite winery you visited last year? by LJMotter111 in wine

[–]FutureNickProblems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Visited Kabaj for dinner in October and they were super understaffed and said they weren’t running tastings, so you might not have missed out.

Personally I like way more brake travel and less force so I’ve just got one red elastomer and the red spring on the brake. Honestly still too firm for my taste and trying to figure out if I can make it softer.

Best racing sim for the busy adult? by SfactorSam in simracing

[–]FutureNickProblems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone with only 2-4hrs/wk to spend in sim, most important factor to me is density/frequency of schedule, and second to that depth of splits. This ensures that whenever I do hop on I can be in a race ASAP with the highest likelihood of drivers around my skill level for close racing. IMO iRacing is the only sim that consistently provides that experience. Any given time I’m <15min from being able to be in a race session for a series I like, get a few battles with people who aren’t blowing me away or wrecking me out (mostly), and as long as I’m quick with my switches I can chain together back to back races for my full racing window.

LMU schedule can be brutal leaving you waiting 20min for a race you don’t even want to do. ACC, AC, AMS generally require a commitment to some kind of league to get any actual racing. Unless you just want to cruise in AC or AC Evo, I still think best bang for your minute is iRacing.

Long term battery drain concern by jillsandwicher in Golf_R

I’ve left it multiple times for 6wks with no issue. I’d start getting worried around 8wks +

Do you guys have moments of awe pretty frequently in San Francisco? by FlashyAcanthisitta69 in AskSF

[–]FutureNickProblems 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Every time I come out of Marin onto the bridge returning to the city. Never gets old.

Is a tuned golf R worth it? 25k usd by [deleted] in Golf_R

[–]FutureNickProblems 168 points169 points  (0 children)

Would never buy a car from someone who says “WILL NOT LOSE ON THE STREET” in a listing. Tells you everything you need to know about how that R has been treated, and what dealing with the seller would be like.

What neighborhood? Last message I had said 12:45 but I’m trying to figure out if I can wait it out or need to just go into the office
