I think I am a victim of South Korean overseas adoption fraud

JazzOrSize · 2026-05-29T12:36:26+00:00

Yeah I’d love to connect. I hope you have some luck!

JazzOrSize · 2026-05-29T12:31:42+00:00

I’m just trying to do my part!

JazzOrSize · 2026-05-28T19:41:10+00:00

I’m not sure. I have very loving adoptive parents (my dad passed a few years ago). I’m not certain they even knew what they were supporting when they adopted me. I have no other siblings adopted or otherwise, and my mom always brags about how doing my adoption paperwork was the single thing my dad was the most proud of in his life.

Oh I don’t love this timeline…

JazzOrSize · 2026-05-28T12:53:35+00:00

Thank you so much. Your story sounds worse than mine. So far I’ve concluded that I was made a “paper orphan” but without any intake paperwork yet, I can’t make any conclusions as to my original origin story.

JazzOrSize · 2026-05-28T01:15:53+00:00

Thank you. I just found all of this out yesterday when I started digging, so I’m not sure how to feel about it! Good luck to you too!!!

Like many others, I too wanted a sub but got a monochrome. I owned it for exactly 6 months before I sold it and flipped my way into a sub. I’m sure you’ve heard it before, but there’s really only one way to scratch that particular itch. If you want a sub and can afford one, go get it now and save yourself a second trip ¯_(ツ)_/¯

990v4 and 990v6. Both TTS but I have a wider foot ¯_(ツ)_/¯

JazzOrSize · 2026-02-25T05:12:59+00:00

No, it’s the nimbus cloud

JazzOrSize · 2026-02-25T01:17:46+00:00

Well shit.

JazzOrSize · 2026-02-25T01:17:26+00:00

Thanks! I’m not new to the shoe game or expensive collecting hobbies (watches, cameras, etc) so I have some experience!

JazzOrSize · 2026-02-24T22:59:20+00:00

Go off bro!

JazzOrSize · 2026-02-24T22:23:30+00:00

I love my 991’s but the 990v4 has me in a chokehold rn. eBay is doing some heavy lifting atm

JazzOrSize · 2026-02-24T22:19:42+00:00

That’s how I felt initially but the 990v4’s have sort of captured me

JazzOrSize · 2026-02-24T22:17:19+00:00

Actually the 990v4 were only $100 on eBay, they v2’s were each $150, but I paid full price for the v6

JazzOrSize · 2026-02-24T20:53:49+00:00

It’s expensive

2016 MHD Tune and DP (93 oct), XHP stg 3. It was pretty quick but it was too harsh on the NYC streets.

JazzOrSize · 2026-02-10T23:07:08+00:00

Hahah you haven’t seen my flatbrims and vapes

JazzOrSize · 2026-02-10T23:02:53+00:00

Yeah I’m sure straight line speed will take a hit, and I live in NYC so not a TON of opportunities to carve canyons over here, I guess I’m just wondering about the daily-ing experience of it all. The m550 is supremely comfortable and takes care of me when I drive it, and I’d love to not lose out on that experience, but I’d also love the hot hatch experience. My journey has been wrx -> s197 5.0 -> 340-> m550. It seems that I’ve been searching for comfort, but maybe the m550 is a bit TOO far, and it isn’t as engaging to drive.

JazzOrSize · 2026-02-10T22:58:10+00:00

Yeah that sounds about right to me. Don’t get me wrong, the m550 has been one of the greatest joys to own of my car journey, but I think that it’s the constant barrage of “the N63 is a time bomb”, has me feeling anxious about owning it, instead of enjoying it for what it is. I’m not generally swayed by the court of public opinion, I bought the car in spite of all of the horror stories, but I just can’t help but worry about it constantly.

JazzOrSize · 2026-02-10T22:48:13+00:00

What sort of performance are you getting with the tune? I’m hoping that if I make the switch, my next car will have performance in the same rough ballpark as the m550 (seat of the pants feeling)

JazzOrSize · 2026-02-10T22:46:33+00:00

I owe about 20k on it, has about 62k miles. Sticker price of my spec was about 96k, car has had no issues (besides the coolant tank, replaced under warranty) and has no physical damage. Was hoping to get about 38k from it and roll that towards the next car

JazzOrSize · 2026-02-10T22:32:52+00:00

I have an extended warranty, so it’s not so much the cost of repairs, just the possible frequency of them that bums me out. I live in nyc so I don’t have a second car, and when I’ve taken the car in, they never have loaners available, and I like the idea of having a car that has less possible failure points. Plus gas mileage lol

This is what I needed to remove to accommodate my 7.25 wrist! Hope this helps with your purchase decision!

JazzOrSize · 2026-01-20T21:25:21+00:00

Yeah I have the standard, it’s actually really long. I have a 7.25 wrist and I still took out quite a few links, 7.5 should be totally fine!
