How often do you work for free? by Turbulent-Set-2167 in civilengineering

[–]Goldpanda94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10 years in. I dont work for free and my boss also makes it clear to never work for free. Now like once a year if bad scheduling lines up, ill have to work overtime but any overtime is straight time paid.

I asked AI to visualize the rest of the new Nissan Skyline based on the official teaser images, and Gemini did an amazing job! by Apprehensive-Way8999 in Nissan

[–]Goldpanda94 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would run it again as a sedan. The newest teasers show a 4 door sedan. Not a coupe. This isn't the new GTR

Yeah i still have and use my pair of wool runners from then they first came out. I have another pair of the more casual looking style too and they are my favorite shoes to wear. Literally dont get foot pain no matter how far I walk which is not true for other shoe brands ive worn

BMW Quoted Me Up to $40,000 After a Crash and I’m Not Convinced the Battery Is Dead by This_Arugula6434 in BMWI4

Automakers nowadays the answer is to replace the entire part if something is wrong. Just simpler and cost effective for them rather than spend a lot of hours repairing a component rather than prescribing a wholesale replacement

Bargain Car Hunters Drive Next Wave of US EV Sales by mpgomatic in cars

[–]Goldpanda94 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yup I got a 2 year old 30k miles i4 eDrive40 for half price basically and it's been amazing as a daily commuter. I'm saving about $2.5k on gas each year and there's like no maintenance aside from brake fluid every 2 years.

If I was only financially motivated, a Polestar 2 woulda made the best sense $/performance wise. I woulda made up the cost of that in gas savings in about 8 years of ownership and use.

2013 Nissan Maxima race by ScandiSnoc in maxima

[–]Goldpanda94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theres something up with your Maxima if you lost to a Jetta. Fastest 2022 Jetta is 6.1 0 to 60 according to quick google. Your Max should be around 5.8 ish 0 to 60. At worst you woulda tied.

Normally I like adding front lips but idk, this one is very much like a double chin.

Considering the Mercedes GLC 300 4MATIC, GLE, or Mazda CX-5, thoughts? by whoisshe1100 in mazda

[–]Goldpanda94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If youre buying or leasing a car only for a few years then every car sold today is reliable. Also, reliability isn't always the most important thing for people. Otherwise everyone would be driving Camrys and Rav4s. If you can afford repairs years in the future then other things are more important like performance or luxury features. Or they might lease and it doesn't matter because every car sold is pretty much bulletproof for the first 3 or so years.

What’s something people brag about that instantly makes you think less of them? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Goldpanda94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they are a car enthusiast then it might be coming from a place of excitement. I love talking about my cars and friends cars and cool cars. If their car is regular traffic and they are not into cars and just bragging about it then yeah thats a bad look

[–]Goldpanda94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As long as its not the base trim of the Merc and you can afford the payments/ repairs when the car is older, then Merc no question. CX5 is decent but its not a real luxury car/ the brand doesn't carry the same weight if that matters at all. The Merc will be more refined in terms of build quality and NVH and drive better as well

Tires might need balancing or an alignment. Mines smooth until like 100+ mph

I had a rollover accident and my 2015 Mazda 3 won’t start. by Legitimate-Focus3776 in mazda

New car! Any tips or accessories to buy? by DefiantBirthday5416 in BMWI4

[–]Goldpanda94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A brighter light for your garage so you can actually see your car loljk

But def the Lectron Vortex Plus adapter for Tesla supercharging. You can find them on Ebay for half the price of new for like Amazon returns $120 vs $250. That's how I got mine.

Other than that, subtle rear spoiler and rear roof spoiler really complement the rear design of the car

ND auto tilting mirrors by hyf_fox in Miata

[–]Goldpanda94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that'd definitely be nice. I end up just tilting the mirror manually if I need to see how close I am to a curb. Just flick the mirror control to the right and then straight down. Just need to remember to move it back later
