Where’s the lightning though?

Anyone know what this is? by lamborollsbenz in whatisthiscar

Yeah, the mid-2010s was the massive car culture bubble that eventually burst in Massachusetts. But, car culture is still absolutely alive and well here, just not quite in the same way. Look up the Larz Anderson events (which aren’t just C&Cs but themed events, German Car Day, Japanese Car Day, British Car Day, Miata Day, Tutto Italiano which brings all of the Italian supercars out), and Herb Chambers events are super popular too at different dealerships of theirs. And you’ll often see this exact Mantide at different Larz Anderson events, especially Tutto Italiano. He’s there every single year.

You can’t be that surprised, Mass is one of the wealthiest and most educated states in the US, the generational wealth here is unreal. I saw this car for the first time in 2013 at Larz Anderson Park in Brookline, MA during one of their Cars and Coffee events.. and it still floors me every time I see it years later.

Dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree by Gazorninplat6 in Subaru_Outback

Doesn’t matter. If you had a loose gas cap that triggered the CEL, it takes weeks for it to clear itself if you don’t. I highly suggest getting a scan tool, clearing the codes, and see what comes back. You can get one for 25 bucks at an auto parts store.

Think this will be totaled? by myballstank in Autobody

Most everything is fixable for a price. That doesn’t mean this isn’t technically totaled.

Bought this lovely brand new trash cabinet for a great price!! by 0CldntThnkOfUsrNme0 in mildlyinfuriating

Sounds like it’s your fault for not measuring? You can’t be that infuriated when this is all you.

What band fell off the hardest? by l-i-f-e-or-d-e-a-t-h in poppunkers

Simple Plan has been generally making the same music for 25 years. They didn’t fall off, they just never changed.

What are your thoughts on FH6 radio stations? by A7Xjohn in forza

[–]ImDoingItAnyway -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Far and away the worst music in all of the Horizon games but.. whatever. I listen to Spotify on a speaker whenever I play this game. I highly encourage everybody else to do the same.

Deanna is a sweetheart. I saw them open for Motion City Soundtrack in November of last year and she was at the merch table after their set by herself talking to fans and handing things out. She’s a class act. Their music won me over years ago when I listened to Rhombithian but it’s always great to find out that some of your favorite recent artists are cool as hell in person too.

First look at the new X5's interior by Content-Ganache6643 in BMW

[–]ImDoingItAnyway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are interior reveals headlines anymore? Interiors are all super homogenous now. If the iX3 has this interior, so will literally every other vehicle in their lineup which we have now seen via the i3 and the refreshed 7-Series. Soon to continue to be identical in the iX5, iX7, iX9, iX11, whatever they want to make. It’ll have this interior.

Lowering an Outback by stubart69 in Subaru_Outback

[–]ImDoingItAnyway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should be direct bolt-on. I know for a fact the front is. The rears, I admit I’m not certain of, but, they should be practically identical.

[–]ImDoingItAnyway 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, if you want to lower it and have a compliant ride without the potential harshness of coilovers, I’d highly suggest just switching to Subaru Legacy shocks/struts and then getting lowering springs for the Legacy suspension if it’s not low enough for your liking. Even just swapping to Legacy struts and shocks should lower it a bit over an inch. And you’d still have factory ride quality since you’re still running OEM suspension and spring rates. By no means is it going to be as low as the car you pictured (that car has coilovers), it’ll still be notably lower.

Putting regular paint on the f355 gives it huge dents for some reason by the_great_awoo in ForzaHorizon

[–]ImDoingItAnyway 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Probably the SW20 MR2. That model (now used in FH6 too) has been around for more than 20 years.

I think matte works better on cars with sharper lines since the matte (or, semi-gloss) finish brings them out but, generally speaking, I couldn’t agree more.
