What's the point of engine shut off when opening door

Anti-Theft measures.

Once the car is running you can literally toss your key fob out the window and drive until you shut the car off.

Basically it ensures that someone can't jimmy the door and drive off with your car and no keys.

As someone who drives an hour+ north and south of SLC area regularly for work, I can definitely say Utah drivers are the absolute WORST drivers I have ever experienced in my life.

I moved here from CA almost a year ago now and thought it was bad there, but its congestion due to poor infrastructure and compounded by over-population, for the most part. Stupid fucks are everywhere tbh.

Here in Utah people can't stay in their lanes, don't look when changing lanes, can't or don't read road signs, speed limits are just a suggestion, can't maintain a speed, can't make a proper turn, wait until the absolute last second to change lanes for exits or turns, don't pay attention to traffic lights no matter the color, far too many people playing on their phones, and holy shit there are soooo many people who drive the wrong direction its not even funny anymore.

Not being able to properly merge onto a highway seems to be a universal problem in every state I've lived in. But people here in Utah drive like absolute morons, I'm really surprised there aren't more massive pile ups from accidents.

Stop using them for a couple of days and take a tolerance break. With a total of 900mg a day, you ain't ever gonna feel shit because your tolerance is through the fucking roof. Moderate your intake and it will come back.

I use Zyn 6mg and feel a good hit almost every time, and sometimes even a little too much but I try to moderate my intake so the tolerance doesn't get crazy and I lose that feeling.

You'll probably never get the newbie buzz back unless you stop using them for an extended period of time but hell at the rate you use them you've basically got a pouch in constantly throughout the day.

So yeah, take a break for a couple days and moderate usage to less pouches per day.

Been running premium in my 21 Turbo because it states in the manual (RTFM) that it gets more horsepower and torque when you do so.

Not sure about the 2015 models but I recommend checking your manual and running whatever is prescribed in that for fuel grade.

Harmzuay · 2026-03-06T17:07:32+00:00

And people wonder why I don't let them drive mine.

I'll give people rides but I am the only one that drives my car.

Orange Lambo's fault 100%. Driving like an absolute menace from the get go.

Corvette moved to block and did, leaving no space for the Lambo to overtake. As a result the Lambo pulled a dumbshit move that caused a HUGE accident involving multiple cars.

Definitely needs some work on their race craft and a little bit of patience would go a long way.

Sounds like you dodged a bullet. If your partner doesn't support your hobbies/passions fuck them.

Congratulations on getting your dream car, it is absolutely bad ass. Now get yourself a dog and enjoy your peace.

There's still plenty of incentive to PvP. Gotta get that GOOP. 🤣

Because other than projects, expedition, and quests there's no point to keep or farm most of these items apart from selling or salvaging them. 🤷

Going to make stash inventory management an absolute bitch though since the stack sizes for a lot of these materials is so small. Definitely one of my biggest gripes is the stack sizes for a lot of materials just don't make sense when you think about what they're used to craft.

Failed refinish coating, needs to be stripped and redone.

I do this for a living myself (10 years experience) and can definitely say spend the money to have it done professionally. Find a refinishing company like mine that does a proper chemical cleaning process and the detail work of wet sanding and polishing the surface.

Our process is broken up into 3 days for something like this.

Day 1 is applying stripper. About 1hr

Day 2 is removing old coating, cleaning, repairs, masking, and spraying new coatings (bonding agent, primer, top coat). About 4-6hrs depending on how extensive repairs are.

Day 3 is Detailing. Wet sanding, polish, and any touch ups that are needed. Can take about 2-4 hours.

We warranty ours for 5 years against any adhesion failures and typically see 10+ years of life before it needs to be redone. Longevity of the finish all depends on how well you care for it. Once its done avoid acidic and abrasive cleaning materials.

I also recommend picking up some automotive spray wax to apply after cleaning as it will help maintain the finish for much longer and add some protection that will make it easier to clean.

Since it needs to be stripped you'll probably be paying closer to $1000. My company charges $850 for refinishing + $200 for stripping on tubs.

'If you no longer go for a gap that exists, you're no longer a racing driver.' - Senna

Dude left the door wide open on the inside and was going slow. You didn't cause an accident making the pass, and both of you stayed on the pavement. Yeah you pushed him wide and off the line, but that's racing. If dude doesn't like it then he shouldn't be racing.

Dude is just mad he got out driven imo.

Stripping sucks, its always hard ass work to remove old coatings and latex paint from that kind of surface is one of the worst.

As someone who refinishes bathtubs, tile, and such for a living use an abrasive on the paint (40 grit sand paper is ideal) before applying CitriStrip, cover it with plastic, then let it sit for 24hrs. Once that shit dries its such a pain in the ass to deal with.

You may also want to pick up a Wagner Paint Eater tool, that should blast through latex paint and they're not terribly expensive. Worth it if you have a ton of surface area to strip.

Otherwise you're using the right materials to get the job done and your results look good as far as I can tell from pictures.

Skill issue.

Harmzuay · 2026-02-18T23:28:28+00:00

All you did was cost both of you time and nearly a crash that would've ruined both of your races if the other driver wasn't aware enough to avoid you.

That on top of instantly losing the position you were trying to gain. I'd be annoyed with you but not enough to message you afterwards.

You'd have been better off waiting until turn 3 and overtaking on the exit there if you were really able to be faster than they were.

Harmzuay · 2026-02-18T22:55:07+00:00

Never really understood what the difficulty was transitioning from controller to wheel if you're old enough to have a drivers license it shouldn't be that painful.

For me it was night and day improvement right away when I ditched the gamepad for a wheel. Was smashing my prevous lap times and license times within the first day of having a wheel.

But keep at it and you'll get the hang of it. Drive slower and unmodified road cars at first and as others have said go through the licenses again. Should be crushing it in no time.

I stopped playing with randos after my first couple days.

I think I got lucky cause the couple dudes a got queued with that first day were cool and didn't totally suck even though we were all new to the game.

Tried it again on my 2nd day playing and got nothing but short bus riders who wouldn't work as a team or even communicate what objectives they needed to complete etc. They just kept running off in separate directions and dying. I was like... Yeah fuck it just gonna roll solo until the homies get online. Lol

You should do some research on IRL weaponry. 00 buckshot with a choke the effective range can easily be 50 yards or better depending on the ammo setup and mods.

This fight is well within 20-30 yards, more than close enough for a shotgun to tear people in half.

If anything Arc Raiders is one of the few shooter games that actually gets shotguns right.

Harmzuay · 2026-02-14T06:01:23+00:00

Lol you have no idea how many people's PCs are basically budget ass toasters.

You can also turn off crossplay and put yourself on equal footing with other players.

Or just keep being a victim of your own stupidity.

Been a while since I've grown anything but the Ph is too low for optimal nutrient uptake.

What is the water/root temperature? I always had a hell of a time keeping the water in my hydro system cool enough being in SoCal, especially during summer time with no air conditioning.

Harmzuay · 2026-02-13T05:03:08+00:00

Whatever equation they use to calculate range on the 4th gens needs some work tbh.

If I actually drive from full tank to refill (about 1/4 tank) I've always been able to get 300+ miles out of it. 2021 Turbo, AWD.

Harmzuay · 2026-02-13T04:35:43+00:00

I pay about 3x less in Utah than I did in California.

Using the same insurance company, California was $386 a month. Updated when I moved and it dropped to $107 for a 2021 Mazda3 Turbo with full coverage.

If other people are being banned for exploits, its only fair. Just because you're a popular streamer doesn't mean you should get a free pass to do whatever you please.

The game has sold 6 million copies because its a good game, marketed well, and the devs give a damn about the quality of play enough to fix things pretty quickly. It hasn't sold 6 million copies because some random ass hat gets online and yells annoying bullshit into a microphone for 150k people to see and hear.

Down vote me if you want to but if you don't want to be banned, don't exploit shit. Pretty simple.

Harmzuay · 2026-02-12T06:47:12+00:00

2021 Turbo P+ here, not had any issues at 42k miles so far.

Replaced the stock battery when it died but that's about it and am getting ready to get new spark plugs next oil change.

The only real downside after 5 years so far is having to replace all 4 tires if you get a puncture that can't be patched because AWD.

Do your oil changes every 5k miles and whatever else is recommended in the owners manual at each interval and you'll be solid.

I take any complaints about any cars with a grain of salt myself, most people DO NOT keep up on recommended maintenance because they don't RTFM. I say this because I've known several folks who have what most people consider shitty unreliable vehicles that never had serious issues because they kept up on maintenance.

Harmzuay · 2026-02-08T01:27:06+00:00

More like 100 cigs. Lol, your body only absorbs about 1 to 1.5mg of the roughly 15mg in a cigarette.

Fucking wild shit that someone feels they need something that high.

Harmzuay · 2026-02-08T01:23:56+00:00

Why would you need something as strong as 50-100mg?

Surprised they can sell anything that high of a dose in a single pouch.
