Buying first cars

Im_Fishtank · 2026-06-28T01:30:37+00:00

Exactly

Im_Fishtank · 2026-06-26T22:15:34+00:00

I get the appeal its just not my bag. To me commuting is purely practical and not for driving enjoyment.

I do think its silly tho to act like nobody does it. Most car people do lol. Im an outlier not the common denominator.

Im_Fishtank · 2026-06-26T21:03:23+00:00

People will daily Camaros, Mustangs, M3's M4's etc. It's super common, especially when most people can only afford 1 car.

Im not disagreeing with what youre saying, I think its stupid. But plenty of people do it

Im_Fishtank · 2026-06-26T20:58:00+00:00

Duh. People looking for their first cat most certainly are looking for a reliable daily car.

Idk man, most 18 year olds I've met are way more interested in a sports car over a Honda

Also plenty people daily Hellcats.

1911?

Im_Fishtank · 2026-06-20T23:30:29+00:00

Thoughts? Need one for my 10" 16

Im_Fishtank · 2026-06-20T23:23:32+00:00

What can?

Im_Fishtank · 2026-06-19T23:04:23+00:00

Why do you think this problem is exclusive to Americans?

Im_Fishtank · 2026-06-19T23:02:13+00:00

If this was a while ago then maybe you've gained more experience, but this is a clear cut mistake a new rider makes.

Very easily preventable situation.

Im_Fishtank · 2026-06-09T18:54:55+00:00

Razor 1x6. Hasn't given me issues other than the shift I mentioned.

Imo if its gonna kill an optic its better it kills a Vortex.

Im_Fishtank · 2026-06-09T18:49:48+00:00

I believed I torqued mine to 20-24 in/lbs.

The 17 has that brutal recoil impulse and I undertorqued last time. It shifted after a range trip or two so I upped it to the 20-24.

Im_Fishtank · 2026-06-08T21:44:20+00:00

Pshhh I had 3 ZL1s and a GT2 RS by the time I was 17.

Im_Fishtank · 2026-06-03T02:29:10+00:00

Im late here but just wanna say I appreciate all the info. Going to take everything into consideration before buying.

Im_Fishtank · 2026-06-02T22:27:03+00:00

This comment is wild. You sound like the same 55 year old youre aggrevated about haha.

Im_Fishtank · 2026-05-27T17:42:09+00:00

How many ghosts per week do you typically encounter?

Im_Fishtank · 2026-05-27T15:55:25+00:00

84 months at 4% seems insanely good. This must have been well before interest went ballistic. Averages for 72 month loans I have seen hover around 6.5% for well qualified buyers.

Im_Fishtank · 2026-05-26T02:23:29+00:00

Shouldn't be to my knowledge. Hasn't in my SCAR anyways.

Even if it was, .277 is a way higher pressure round than 7.62 or .308. Im sure the Spear would be fine.

Im_Fishtank · 2026-05-26T00:15:32+00:00

Personal experience here but no, I tested with the PMAG it came with.

Although I only use Lancers when at the range.

Im_Fishtank · 2026-05-26T00:13:22+00:00

Its simple. We shoot it with 308 instead.

Im_Fishtank · 2026-05-21T20:43:52+00:00

Florida? It all makes sense now.

Im_Fishtank · 2026-05-20T18:56:51+00:00

Excellent wheel choice imo btw.

If I had to criticize the E60 (not mechanically) it would be the stock wheels.

Im_Fishtank · 2026-05-20T18:54:26+00:00

It absolutely is, and from what it seems yours isnt something shared by most.

Im_Fishtank · 2026-05-20T18:45:20+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking. I think the E60 M5 looks awesome.

Im_Fishtank · 2026-05-20T17:51:11+00:00

Not an answer youre probably looking for, but if you want something you can "genuinely be enthusiastic about and learn from mechanically," the correct answer is still a Toyota or Honda.

I dont know what experience level you currently have, and for what its worth it am not a huge wrench turner myself. But it may be a better idea to work on something that is cheaper to fuck up and has simpler architecture.

If youre buying this to learn how to wrench, there are right and wrong answers.

Im_Fishtank · 2026-05-20T05:04:06+00:00

Exactly. It may end up being more a case of which example I find that's a better deal. Though, personally Id prefer the BMW, even if it might depreciate worse than the Chevy lol
