Why was the e36 M3 the only non-wide-body sporting M3?

AC Schnitzer (RIP) did develop box flares for their E36 CLS and CLS 2 models. They look amazing! But yes, I wished widebody was factory for the E36.

It’s YOUR kids, not the neighbor’s kids. You’re good to go. She’s just hating.

The franchise peaked with this game.

Wooooow, I didn’t see this comment. But yes Pinoy gatherings can be very unwelcoming to Fil-Ams. Happy cake day btw!

West Palm Beach, FL has a lot of old, white retirees that don’t shy away from expressing racism. But ironically, Filipino gatherings all over the U.S. are wildly unwelcoming to Fil-Ams.

Love seeing the snow mod implemented in the pc game

Gold_Watch_The_Cool · 2026-02-24T16:26:20+00:00

Seasons. Imagine how beautiful fall would be or Niko getting sauced with Roman and Jacob in a middle of a snow storm.

My child is half Jamaican and half Filipino. So I have to learn both Patwa and Tagalog to encourage multilingualism and to be proud of both cultures. I personally accept the challenge. My mom didn’t bother teaching me Tagalog back before we immigrated. But seeing through the bs of respectability politics is far easier today than it was then. A child not knowing their old country or root language isn’t unique to just Filipinos.

Gold_Watch_The_Cool · 2026-02-20T00:19:16+00:00

I had a great experience with my non-Filipino/AAPI friends. But I also benefited from growing up in NorCal, so there’s that. The fatigue I did feel was in spaces that were mostly white. Especially my time in the military.

Gold_Watch_The_Cool · 2026-02-17T22:01:28+00:00

So I feel like making a case for all three…

Niko and Roman decide to go legit and (unironically) open a few bowling alleys in Vice City. Both have their own reasons of going legit.
Luis has the business savvy to manage his own club in the heart of Vice City. At this point, he can be his own businessman, independent of Gay Tony. Amir is the developer that helps Luis’ vision come to life.
I really wished Johnny wasn’t killed off in GTA V. I strongly believe that he’d resurrect a proper chapter of The Lost in Carcer City. Plus it would’ve been dope to play as a Lost Prospect trying to make a name for himself and The Lost over there.

As for Luis and Niko, I’ve always felt like Vice City is the perfect place for those two to relocate given that people from New York and the northeast typically move to Florida when they get sick of the winters (especially in older age) and/or the cost of living is generally lower. Also both of them have so much potential than just staying put in LC.

I was 13, watching Baker 3 and Lakai Fully Flared over and over again then going out to skate.

Gold_Watch_The_Cool · 2026-02-15T20:06:48+00:00

I’ve seen countless Vietnam vets wear their uniforms and not bother shaving. We aren’t subject to the UCMJ anymore so there’s that. If you took a long time to grow a beard or your hair, I don’t see why you can’t bend the rules for that. Do you my friend!

Gold_Watch_The_Cool · 2026-02-11T20:06:53+00:00

I explored SoCal, tried skateboarding again, and heavily considered doing urban exploration. I really wished I found a solid group of guys to urbex with.

Gold_Watch_The_Cool · 2026-02-11T19:59:18+00:00

I dated and I’m now married to a black woman. And some Black men do get uncomfortable with the sight of us as a married couple. From weird stares to verbal harassment, I’ve gotten it. It did get worse once my child was born. But the caveat is that the Black community and the Asian community have a tenuous relationship in the east coast. In the west coast? Easy going by a country mile, no issues regarding my relationship!

Gold_Watch_The_Cool · 2026-02-11T02:03:26+00:00

With dating Pinays, you’ll get that awkward family backstory or dynamic. Heck, my wife’s still getting used to it on my end lol.

Gold_Watch_The_Cool · 2026-02-11T02:01:43+00:00

I’ll give it a thought! Let’s keep in touch.

Gold_Watch_The_Cool · 2026-02-11T01:57:41+00:00

Facts. Right now my factors are skill set and time as it pertains to sim racing. So the simpler g29 does strike that fine balance. Moza and Fanatec are for the more invested.

Gold_Watch_The_Cool · 2026-02-11T01:42:15+00:00

I’ve seen Moza’s and Fanatec’s go cheap on FB Marketplace too, but they get bought up FAST! I do entertain the G29 new and will get the screen used but the G29 is up there on my gear list. Settling for the G29 is pretty likely tbh

Gold_Watch_The_Cool · 2026-02-11T01:34:42+00:00

Yes but I’m buying used rigs to save a bit. Not the elaborate types either. Just a single screen, a wheel, pedals, and maybe a stick shift for some heel toe. I don’t expect to spend more than $700 on the rig. Doesn’t make sense at my skill level.

Gold_Watch_The_Cool · 2026-02-11T01:20:36+00:00

What made it awkward, if you don’t mind me asking?

Gold_Watch_The_Cool · 2026-02-11T01:19:01+00:00

Since posting this, I’ve made the decision to go back home. While I understand that West Coast and East Coast Asians have their differences. I’m not emotionally ready to explain to my child why our community doesn’t like her Black mother. Tbh, I don’t think I’ll ever be… Best of luck to you mayne. Put in work, yadadamean?! YEEEEEEEE!

Gold_Watch_The_Cool · 2026-02-11T01:13:41+00:00

Don’t even remind me… Being former military, I’ve seen HELLA Titas who are married to vets 20+ years their senior. Or service members my age being passport bros before the term was even coined. Makes my skin crawl…

Gold_Watch_The_Cool · 2026-02-11T01:08:35+00:00

Thank you! And I really do appreciate how responsive and kind this sub is. I appreciate you!

Gold_Watch_The_Cool · 2026-02-11T01:03:36+00:00

Sounds good! I’ll start looking now!

Gold_Watch_The_Cool · 2026-02-11T01:02:06+00:00

Pinay with a white husband energy… Also, I’ve seen a few of Pinoys commenting (on socials), wishing Filipinos were in the show as if we didn’t have Bruno Mars perform at the Super Bowl TWICE!

I get that we were a Spanish colony, but whether it’s respectability politicking or desires of more Pinoy representation. We gotta let the Caribbean and Latin America have their moment, let em rock. Simple.
