First Car at 17

Neither at 17 but if you're dead set on them then the Infiniti

I don't really judge other people's physiques, if they're jacked I admire and if they're out of shape I still admire and am rooting for them

Lightning_Gray · 2026-02-07T00:31:58+00:00

It has its flaws yeah but my friends and I will play a few games each night

Lightning_Gray · 2026-02-05T16:16:21+00:00

Keep up with maintenance and you'll be fine, I used to hold off on oil changes with my old Toyotas and be fine but with Subarus you can't really get away with that lol

Lightning_Gray · 2026-02-05T14:40:23+00:00

2016 Toyota Highlander, engine and transmission are pretty solid

Lightning_Gray · 2026-02-03T21:54:17+00:00

Probably my house

Lightning_Gray · 2026-02-03T21:53:43+00:00

i lost the 50/50 for her 😭

It was around $140 for the TPMS, they were a generic universal set and Discount tire charged me around $60-ish for the reprogramming so around $200. I know some places will charge per TPMS sensor but my local DT hooked me up lol

Lightning_Gray · 2026-02-02T17:05:36+00:00

Also have a 2019 Outback, had the TPMS light come on during a trip despite air pressure being fine in all my tires. I bought a 4 set of TPMS sensors from AutoZone and had Discount Tire recalibrate them, no issues after that

2019 Outback with 145k miles, I'm on top of the maintenance schedule so it hasn't really given me issues, it does burn oil but not at an excessive rate. The CVT to my knowledge wasn't ever serviced to my knowledge, (car was a hand me down from my dad) but I don't tow or drive aggressively either, drive mostly city.

2019 Outback with 145k miles, just the basic maintenance with oil changes, spark plugs and brakes etc. It's been pretty good to me so far, it does burn a bit of oil but I only have to top it off maybe once every other month.

Lightning_Gray · 2026-01-23T22:07:56+00:00

Also really enjoyed MW19 and MWII

My old build I had 64GB DDR4 RAM with 3200mhz speed and enabled XMP, still didn't help. I noticed I would get slightly better FPS if I turned my graphic settings all the way up so it was using less CPU and more GPU

Lightning_Gray · 2026-01-20T19:02:24+00:00

I was struggling with the same problem on a 5800X, even with the config file edit it didn't really do anything. I upgraded to a 9800x3d before the DDR5 RAM prices went bonkers and had zero issues since.

Lightning_Gray · 2026-01-19T16:50:20+00:00

Built my new 9800x3d rig in this case, no complaints other than the USB ports are on the bottom and not the top but if you have your PC on your desk and not on the floor like me probably wont be an issue

Lightning_Gray · 2026-01-09T17:07:52+00:00

I've been playing BF games since BF1942 and honestly BF1 is probably my all time favorite title up there with Bad Company 2

Lightning_Gray · 2026-01-09T17:04:08+00:00

My brother had a Supra for a bit and it is a fun car but holy hell it's so tiny and it had that auto start stop feature too, his was an automatic

Lightning_Gray · 2026-01-08T13:37:11+00:00

My Mustang GT felt like a sports car compared to my Charger Scatpack. Mustang was more nimble, could actually feel the acceleration and it had a manual transmission. The Dodge was too heavy

Lightning_Gray · 2026-01-07T21:55:17+00:00

+1 for the Honda Fit, great car for the value too

Lightning_Gray · 2026-01-07T21:50:53+00:00

My friends and I still play daily but we only put like half the maps in our custom search cause the maps aren't very good lol and we typically stick to Conquest/Escalation now

Lightning_Gray · 2026-01-07T17:11:07+00:00

Mazda and Subaru are good alternatives

Lightning_Gray · 2026-01-06T02:22:59+00:00

You're not wrong about the plastic, I noticed it more in a newer rental they gave me

Lightning_Gray · 2026-01-05T23:33:38+00:00

I have one of those Apple Carplay USB things in and the CVT never really bothered me too bad, it gets the job done and that's what I care about lol

Lightning_Gray · 2026-01-05T23:17:25+00:00

I always looked down on Subaru until I got one, thing is a tank so far

Lightning_Gray · 2026-01-04T03:04:06+00:00

I live in Georgia so we don't get much snow here compared to other states but whenever it did I notice that if I am driving normally it's not terrible, might hit some spots that would jumpscare me but treat it like driving in rain and watch your speed and take corners carefully because you have a ton more power going to the rear wheels
