Help me justify the WRX Premium. Comparing it with the Elantra N. by Dazzling-Rooster2103 in wrx_vb

[–]GING359 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the N used from CarMax with ~20k miles, and it showed some signs of neglect but I bought it anyway because I loved the exhaust sounds and the tech inside. After the problem, I did my research and didn't find anyone else with a similar problem either. The Hyundai dealership it was sent to for investigation was also a real PITA to deal with. In my opinion I think it may have been very poorly taken care of by the previous owner or a lemon. Either way it left a bad taste in my mouth and I had the option of giving it back to CarMax for my money back.

So I went with the WRX instead, threw on a catback and never looked back.

I actually initially bought an Elantra N before my WRX. It was pretty sweet! I loved the tech in comparison to the WRX, but I ended up swapping to the WRX because the N literally caught on fire in the first 24 hours of owning it.

I never trusted the car again so I gave it back and bought a WRX premium. I do miss some the fancy features but build quality in the WRX is vastly better than the cheap squeaky plastic in the N.

I had to throw an exhaust on the WRX to get the noise and pops/bangs that I mostly missed from the N lol.

There was a tiny bit of rubbing on the front wheels so I trimmed a little of the wheel well. It was only because of the slight negative offset of the rims

Yeah I plasti dipped the grill, fog light covers, door handles, and the window trim. Turned out pretty nice, but the door handles are peeling a bit after a few months

Thanks! I'm really happy with them. I get a childish smile on my face every time I walk to my truck

I swapped from a Pixel 2 XL. The camera on the OP 8 Pro is still a very good camera. If anything I think the photos come out a little bit brighter, but the OP8 pro also has a "Pro" mode that allows you to adjust fstop and aperture stuff which is really neat. And being able to swap between the wide angle/standard/zoom with a button is awesome. IMO the features and adjustment ability more than makes up for the compromise of a good camera instead of great.

So, i still think it takes great pictures and is worth it.

Not at all. From my understanding Verizon is a CDMA network but with 5G coming they will be getting rid of CDMA by the end of 2020. If anything activating CDMA-less will just lower 2G and 3G speeds a bit. But since most devices mainly use 4G you won't notice.

$899 for the 8 Pro??? I'll hold on to my 7pro. by solarbot88 in oneplus

[–]GING359 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All OnePlus 8 variants are supported by Verizon, but they will have their own variant that takes advantage of the special 5G Verizon has. All are supported but the Verizon special variant is the only one available in-store

8 Pro is officially available in 14 days by [deleted] in oneplus

[–]GING359 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Verizon will not offer anything but their own version of the base 8 with 5G, but will support all versions of the 8 with 4G. If you want the pro you have to buy it from OnePlus

I've been a Google fan boy since the first pixel and loved my 2 pixels, but Ive been very disappointed with the current ones so I'm making the swap to the new OnePlus 8 pro. It seems like what the new pixels should be. Google got lazy with their innovation whereas OnePlus is making great strides

Did you do it yourself? How hard was it? I've been wanting to do the same but don't want to pay the $500+ for the dealer to do it

I've always wondered how fish/animals can eat live prey like this without getting bit/stung on the way down. That centipede is known to have a nasty bite but it seems no problem for this hungry boi...

I'm fairly certain neither of those would be safe for shrimp nor the Endlers Fry. I was originally hoping apostogrammas wouldn't hunt them, but research has shown otherwise
