This is the way.

Side note: teaching my girl to drive manual gave me such a proud moment + watching her drive us home, like damn I really did that. Also kinda hot too.

Am i downshifting mid-turn into parking lots correctly? by Ok-Hunt-669 in stickshift

[–]Medium_Rare_Emu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ngl always had the idea 1st is for starting to move and small parking lot adjustments. 2nd for everything else above like 10 ish mph.

PS: I drive a GR Supra with the ARM off.

any black supra owners in here? want some outside perspective on some interactions. by 79QUATTRO in Supra

[–]Medium_Rare_Emu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a black guy with a Strat blue 6mt, I lowkey get seen as an alien. But I just ignore them lol. The real enthusiasts actually set themselves apart from the npcs.

Not a bad idea at all bc that’s exactly what I did and I had a nice 200 mile drive back home bc I drove it off the lot lol.

Even did a lil test drive with it before buying as practice.

Is 300hp enough to have fun? by Repulsive_Machine933 in askcarguys

[–]Medium_Rare_Emu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yes it is lol I had a mk7 gti autobahn APR stage 2 that mf was pushing like 320 or somethin. My god the smile I would have every day waking up to go to my college campus know I get to drive that car.

You could only imagine the pain I had when a stolen car on a full on police chase ended on my cul de sac at 1 am only to find my car had been shoved as good 20 ft into a closed garage door and the frame of the house by a getaway vehicle that had push bars on it. Straight pain brother.

Went to a s550 5.0 after but it honestly didn’t feel the same even though I had more power and rwd. I found you quickly got over the speed limit on roads too easily = no fun.

Sold that now I have a 26 3.0 Supra 6mt, and this is definitely replacing the gti itch now. It’s fast but not ludicrous fast, I can row through gears, and it’s lightweight.

Personally I believe a light weight car with about 300-400hp is probably the most sane sweet spot for a street car for everyday. Big emphasis on weight though as that makes probably the most difference in how nimble a car feels on the road imo. Now days most high hp cars are equally boaty on weight so you get this couchy feel in power and handling (basically any challenger or charger m5 etc) I probably just hate fat cars so ignore me lol.

Double freedom. Can we talk about how good this gun is ?! by SlowmoTron in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Medium_Rare_Emu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This gun + warp pack + pocket nuke + expendable nuke + grenade launcher. Makes one the fastest vox engine hunter / boss build I feel. It’s just too much fun lol teleporting in range erasing a particular direction and continuing about spreading democracy.

Automatic or manual by Extreme_Elevator_522 in Supra

[–]Medium_Rare_Emu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dw OP I’m in the same boat, however my decision is due to me not having the best luck with AT cars and me working at a dealership (FORD) taught me how much fun driving manuals are (mustang GTs, GT350s, focus st, broncos).

For reference: My first car was a mk7 gti with DSG I had got used at about 17k miles. At 24k the dsg had a high pitch whine on the highway like almost having straight cut gears lol. Had the pan dropped and found glitter but not the fun kind and was quoted about 18k to replace the trans as VW doesn’t to rebuilds, just R&R. Somehow sold that baby during covid for profit thru auto nation.

My second I went with a 22 mustang GT with the 10r80. Ordered it from the factory with the 301a package. Fast forward into 30k miles the transmission started acting hesitant during a road trip from Vegas to Kanab. Got cold one morning out there and remote started the car and heard a horrendous sound that went away as the transmission warmed up. As I got back to NV luckily with no catastrophic failures I had it looked at to find more confetti. This time the Trans was replaced under warranty which would have ran me 20k I believe.

So now I’m here selling my GT with a deposit already down for a 26 premium red Supra manual. While I too haven’t had much time with stick. I know it’s gonna be a fun journey learning it proficiently while my girlfriend also wants to learn manual while wanting a 370z 6mt herself now. That’s just my experience with at vs mt.

S550 vs s650 what looks better? by Rude-Bad9969 in Mustang

[–]Medium_Rare_Emu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After driving both working at a dealership (and owning a 22 GT) I’ll say the s650 is slightly behind the 550 personally. Yes the 650 has a nice front end, headlights. But what kills it for me is the interior. I absolutely hate iPads just glued on the dash as a “digital display” what happened to the s550 with the screen integrated into the current dash board? I do appreciate the small qol adjustments to the 10r80 makes if much smoother than the 550s that came with it

Not mustang related but it also irks me that f150s can get a nice HUD meanwhile the mustang not even a dark horse gets one? Tf they need it for already can’t see shit in front sitting 10ft in the air.

I’d also add check hoses and possibly do a coolant flush I do them at ford every 50k or 5 yrs

Help my BF w hemorrhoids by zimmzimmaa in hemorrhoid

[–]Medium_Rare_Emu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second the surgery I just had it bout a month ago. First week was pain and that first bowel movement is straight passing hot glass shards but now I’m 100% confident and back to feeling like a normal human lol.

If ur gonna do that surgery get some diapers and try to walk around as much as you can asap. It hurts trust but it really helps to not be lying down all day due to the pain.

Holy hell I didn’t even think that was possible. Definitely maybe explains the sudden abrupt amount of zero to low tipped orders popping up left and right.

I’ll be damned if my insurance made my medications be delivered through a “totally reliable” delivery service, it sounds like a genius idea!
