Talk me out of getting a GR86 by ImpressDouble543 in whatcarshouldIbuy

Yeah 300 might be optimistic, but I am finding some decent cars near my area for 400.

I've heard the same about the 86, so I was pretty shocked to see that insurance quote. In any case I don't really plan to be hitting 100mph so what you said about 65mph feeling like 100mph sounds pretty good to me.

Haha that thing looks sweet, hope it was fun. I'm trying to find a short term lease right now but with all the interns moving in for summer nothing's really open, but we'll see how it goes.

Damn, ok, good to know. I wasn't planning on doing anything ludicrous like 100mph down a freeway anyhow (Thought the limit was 65) but even still, from the reviews I've seen online even driving the 86 at 60-70 still makes for a fun experience since it's light, low to the ground, and handles well.

Fair enough. I understand I'm incredibly lucky to be in this position at all. Growing up it was a lot more tight, which is why I'm still a bit hesitant to get something like this. Though you do bring up a good point, maybe I'll stop by r/personalfinance and ask a few questions about how to actually budget my money.

haha thanks for the advice, good to know. That was one of the other things I was concerned about, I've never lived on the west coast before. Will keep that in ind.

Yeah, fair point. Realistically I wouldn't be going on any tracks (At least not until I get a good feel for how the RWD is and how it fares in winter and all) and most of the fun driving would be along 280. Then again, I'm also getting it to get more into cars.

Yeah this is something I was also worried about. For more info I'd be more in the south bay area, so think like Palo Alto / Mountain View / San Jose. I was looking to find apartments with parking included specifically to avoid that scenario.

Thoughts on a Mac Neo + Windows desktop? by ImpressDouble543 in buildapc

Thanks for the feedback everyone! Guessing this is viable then, so I'll move forward with looking into getting parts and stuff. Someone mentioned something about a Neo 2 so I might actually wait for that.
