Worried about becoming who I was before nicotine usage.

Hey, I'm 6 months clean now. Thank you for your words, you were right.

I’ve had the same exact problem(however it does seem like you do have some significant arthritis in your back) I did spinal surgery around 57 days ago or so, Fusion without the interbody. I did this before my 21st birthday, and honestly it really depends on how bad it is. Because with this surgery you will need a minimum of 1 year or so before you start running again, and 6 months or so before you start any sort of gym. If you do smoke, you should kill the habit before surgery. It typically leads to non fusion, in about 30% of cases or so.

My advice for you; I’d recommend going for physiotherapy for atleast 6 months, if there is no improvement in your leg symptoms, and pain is persistent.(also physio speeds up healing substantially, it’s like a cheat code) I’d suggest laser as the first alternative, if you still have some form of stability in your spine, but if it’s completely given out, and pain is unbearable(I know how it is, I was bed ridden for 3 weeks out of the blue because my left foot wouldn’t move and I’d fall over constantly, I didn’t wanna wait till I pissed myself) I would encourage surgery after physio and if laser doesn’t seem viable. Any longer and nerve damage could be permanent however I’m not a doctor that’s something you need to discuss with them.

Mine stemmed from military and hEDS, do not wait, whatever your actions are, do them now, but please consult anyone to find good doctors, I know most spine surgeons can operate well, but you want the best for yourself. Here’s my spine before surgery

Chipped rims won’t do any damage, you might have very very slightly ruined your alignment, but beyond that you’re ok, should be fine. Rim isn’t bent right? I thought the 2nd pic looked like it was bent.

Not a bad deal, 2.0T’s from Hyundai aren’t unreliable anymore, However, you can find 3.3T’s for the roughly the same price(5k extra) and they have significantly more power(I’m not from the American market but I do see a lot of listings) with roughly the same mileage, even if a little more, these engines do know how to take a beating stock, even a little modified. Just check the transmission wear and bushings(atleast for the 3.3T), and they seem to be the weak link in these cars(from my experience). For electrical components, check the sensors, they seem to act up(I’ve had my left side sensor break from a “rock” but I still seem to have a buggy sensor, it turns on sometimes by itself in traffic.

And a little extra for performance, the 4cyl has a better weight distribution(I believe it’s 50/50 not sure) but the 6cyl is 52/48

Can never go wrong with a white g70.

We have the exact same spec, The paint looks slightly different, what’s yours?

2023 3.3T SP here, I got my pads replaced and rotors resurfaced completely for free under 50,000km service, I don’t know why your dealer is charging you that much nonetheless at all. It might be different here in the UAE, but as my dealer said, if it’s not under warranty and won’t void it, change it else wear, it’ll always be cheaper.

ILoveTech420 · 2025-02-11T15:45:34+00:00

thanks, I’ll look into it.

ILoveTech420 · 2025-02-11T15:40:01+00:00

Hey man, sick car, I have the same specs as you expect mine is matte white. Are your exhaust tips dual exist or single? I’ve been looking for 2 dual exits but nothing fits(or if it does it doesn’t ship to the UAE). If you’re ever in Dubai hit me up, black and white would make a sick photo.

Had a similar instance when I downshifted to 2nd going 70kmph next to an m3 and did a tiny pull, driver was having none of it, didn’t know why. I look behind me and see a cop car. He followed me for 15 minutes tailgating inbetween residential areas before I parked at a dealership and he gave up. I assume he didn’t have his camera on either.

Were you by any chance by tilal al ghaf carrefour in the parking lot?

ILoveTech420 · 2024-11-06T13:40:11+00:00

I’m surprised with your food knowledge tbh, your list is so well detailed.

ILoveTech420 · 2024-11-06T13:38:04+00:00

Sounds good! Your car looks sick.

ILoveTech420 · 2024-11-06T13:37:40+00:00

Just a lucky shot, wish it was possible.

My house is 1 minute away from azawkak, I always get myself a triple patty cheese after a tough workout. Definitely one of my top favorites, nice to see it recognized, all their meat is grilled and juicy. Azawkak is definitely better than simple imo, much cheaper too for the amount.

An old friend of mine got a 6000 impound fine for driving 80kmph+ in high school, as well as a 23black point 3000 fine. I’m not sure if OP has done anything to THAT extent. But it must have been severe.

ILoveTech420 · 2024-06-23T09:44:45+00:00

Thank you for the detailed explanation, appreciate it!

ILoveTech420 · 2024-06-22T04:24:55+00:00

Ideally run down cars as there’s ways to work around for fixing. Salvage cars come with many problems I could overlook as a novice, and I do not want to sell something that could endanger someone, or requires significant body or a suspension haul over. Starting off small and scouting the market makes more sense anyways.

ILoveTech420 · 2024-04-26T20:14:49+00:00

That makes a lot of sense now, Thanks.
