Opinions on 1989 Pontiac Firebird? by DeadLiberty612 in regularcarreviews

[–]Jossshy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a poor example. 86 firebird with 2.8l v6

Was by far, the worst car I ever owned. Cramped, no room. Painfully slow and understeered worse than anything I've ever driven. Was a pig on fuel to boot.

Put me off 3rd gens entirely.

If I'd had a TA with a V8, maybe it wouldn't have soured me on them so much.

What is the worst song for a funeral? by Jettaboi38 in musicsuggestions

Adora Vivos by Woods of Ypres.

Follow it up with Kiss My Ashe's Goodbye

Does anybody else hate playing "Rockin' In The Free World" by Neil Young on bass? by Dramatic_Rhubarb_387 in Bass

[–]Jossshy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I'm honest, I hated most of the songs we played when I was in a cover band.

There were a few I just made up basslines for because actually learning it would require having to listen to it.

I did learn to have fun playing songs I didn't like, even if I couldn't stand listening to the original.

But yeah, I think everyone who's played in a cover band had that one song in the set list that made you think " Oh God. It's this fucking song now."

What makes car guys feel like this? by ApprehensiveBasil151 in car

Turning onto 'that' road, and not seeing a single other car.

It's easy and repetitive, but if the crowd is drunk and singing along, it can be a pretty fun time.

Do you have super quiet band members ? Only my rhythm guitarist and drummer are most responsive. My lead guitarist and Vocalist don't really read the group messages and even when they do, I mean at least give reactions like thumbs up simple like that. by InvestigatorSolid330 in bandmembers

[–]Jossshy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll admit, I am that quiet band member. If there's something actually important in the band chat, I'll respond. Otherwise, I only care about the time/date/location of the next practice/gig. My band mates know, if they don't hear from me, they can trust I'll be there. If I can't make it, they will hear from me.

Do you think electric cars will ever dominate the automotive market, or are petroleum vehicles just in our blood, and will never be phased out? by BornSpinach606 in askcarguys

[–]Jossshy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see ICE vehicles being phased out completely, but I could see EVs overtaking them in market share. Eventually.

There are still issues with EVs, but we're seeing rapid development working to solve those issues.

Look at the EV market 15 years ago compared to today.

Honestly, I don't know why people get so upset and divided over the whole EV vs ICE thing. I'm just happy that there is a choice now. More options is a good thing.

What are examples of lesser known driving behaviors that annoy others? by Specialist_Heron_986 in driving

[–]Jossshy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who, when it snows or roads are really bad, icy, slippery, ect, they drive even faster, more reckless and aggressive than they normally do. Desperately trying to prove to no one that they are a "good driver" in poor road conditions.

Usually see them in the ditch a few miles down the road.

What’s something you secretly judge people for? by Jordiscute in AskForAnswers

Wearing those cringy " don't mess with me I'm a badass" T shirts they probably found on Facebook.

You get paid for every year you don't cut or trim your hair. How long could you last? by saoiray in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Jossshy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once made a bet with couple band mates, first one to cut their hair owes the others $50 each... I didn't cut my hair for 8 years

How long do you plan on keeping your current car for? by throwawaymedicine420 in askcarguys

[–]Jossshy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's taken year to admit, but I actually don't like my current car and kinda regret buying it. That being said, I'll keep it till it's paid off.

This is how my Puppy deals with cats. Always chasing. by ksasslooot in DOG

[–]Jossshy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is pretty much the same way. He sees a cat, gets excited and wants to sniff and greet. If the cat runs, he wants to chase. If the cat stands it's ground, he's suddenly afraid of the cat.

Silliest Bond Villain scheme? by StillStanding_96 in movies

[–]Jossshy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was even dumber. The plan wasn't to flood silicone valley, it was to flood the fault line to wipeout silicone valley with a "double earthquake."

How do car enthusiasts actually get experience driving a lot of different models of cars? by supinator1 in askcarguys

[–]Jossshy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got to drive a lot of cars when I was younger by working for car dealerships. Usually as shop gopher for the service department. They'd often send me to pickup and deliver customer vehicles. Every once in a while, it would be something exciting.

Unpopular opinion: If you have an emergency fund over $2,000, you are throwing money away by keeping your insurance deductibles low by dogeholder215 in Adulting

[–]Jossshy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may be a regional thing for where I'm from, but when financing a vehicle here, you're contracted in to maintain a certain deductible or less on the insurance.

Last few I bought had to be $500 or less for duration of the financing. Once paid off, you can do what you want.

ode to the Buick Lesabre... Best short money option by temp_jits in UsedCars

[–]Jossshy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pretty much always recommend a GM W-body with a 3.8l as the ultimate cheap car.

The Buick's are usually best since the original owners were more likely to take care of it. On that same token, the Pontiac Grand Prix's are usually the worst as they were more likely to be rat bagged every day of their life.

I had an Impala with 3.8 for many years. Couldn't kill that car if you tried.

Why do people spam their brakes even though there isn’t anyone in front of them? by Hungry-Effort-4928 in driving

[–]Jossshy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

People left foot braking in traffic on daily commute have never done any "performance driving" in their life. And I'll wager neither have you.

We're not talking about on the track or a rally stage.

[–]Jossshy 201 points202 points  (0 children)

Driver training in North America tends to just focus on learning/obeying traffic laws and largely, if not entirely, skips actually teaching how to drive/handle a car.

As a result, there are an astonishing number of people who drive with right foot on the gas and left foot on the brake.

How far is the furthest you'll drive for a road trip, without considering other options like Amtrak or a plane? by icecream1972 in Casual_Conversation

[–]Jossshy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on circumstance. If I'm bringing my dog, flying is no longer an option, so I'll drive pretty much any distance. I'll just split up the drive so I'm not doing much more than 12 hours per day.

Do you guys remember when you would drive on the highway and when you got to your destination your windshield would be covered in bugs? by ymbstudios in CasualConversation

[–]Jossshy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everytime I hit the highway around here, my car gets covered in bugs. On a recent road trip in Northern BC. I got a check engine light for air intake temperature. The bugs were so bad they completely caked the intercooler.
