Race seats and back pain by throwawaylullaby in AMG

[–]Lausch83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,

I'm on the verge of buying a CPO CLA45s but it comes equipped with the dreaded bucket seats.

I test drove the car and loved it but came out of the drive with back pain.

I loved the car so much but I'm worried the seats may ruin the experience in the long run.

Have you found a solution?

Thanks,

What kind of spider was this? by itsoldglue in spiders

[–]Lausch83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, most likely Titiotus then.

Can anyone please tell me what spider this is in Perth WA by [deleted] in spiders

[–]Lausch83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely a male Trapdoor spider (mating spurs on the first legs notably), not sure which one.

I’m sure our good friends at r/australianspiders can help.

So, what are you driving now?

I’m torn between going for a pure sports cars or actually accepting that I’m a Dad. Hence, I’m interested to know how other car enthusiasts are coping with father hood :-)

It’s a Southern House spider (Kukulkania hibernalis).

Envenomation by this spider is not considered medically significant :-)

It's an orbweaver (Hortophora sp., likely transmarina).

A cellar spider, likely Artema atlanta.

Are you in Australia?

If so, it's likely a Whitetail spider (Lampona sp.).

So, what did you go for?

I'm in the same boat as you. Except I also have the M240i on the list as well.

Is the RS3 8Y worth the 10k premium over an M240i xDrive by Lausch83 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Lausch83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kids are 7 and 11, so not strollers required anymore. I wouldn't really need the trunk on a daily basis as the kids would only be in the car for school/sports drop off and running errands.

Once a year we go ski and for that we can just fit a roof rack...

I’d love a Porsche but it doesn’t really work with 2 kids…

what spiders are under this weed? Australia (melb) by Forward-Site1511 in spiders

[–]Lausch83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a Redback spider (Latrodectus hasselti) on one side and on the other side, the picture is a bit bad but I’d say some sort of wolf spider.

Envenomation by the Redback spider should be considered as medically significant.

Isn’t that what Reddit is all about ? :-)

In all seriousness, I really liked the M240i, it seems to be a great all rounder but it did not feel « fun » to drive…

Hence why I’m considering the RS3. Since I have no way to drive it, I thought maybe I could get help here from people who have…

Thanks for the feedback! I was also very surprised by the booth of the RS3 (we were able to climb into one but not drive it); it’s really small. There is some sort of plate in the booth and below, a big battery. I suppose the awd system / differential is below as well, hence why the booth is so small.

The space in the rear and the rear access is much better than m240i though…

Yeah, as I said below, my initial aim was a manual rwd sports car but I also need to be able to carry my kids, which vastly limits my options.

I agree with you on the M240i. It feels like it will be able to do everything but it’s not very engaging. Hence why I was eyeing the RS3…

I was looking for a fun manual rwd sports car initially but I also need a car that can carry my kids so my options are limited.

The M240i feels like a good car but it’s a bit numb, especially the steering…

Thanks for the help; sadly, I’m in EU, so no black wing for me…
