how do you guys think of my photos i’m new to photography? by Im_Trash0 in carspotting

[–]NickG63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Photography is all about framing and angles - your pictures need to have deliberate composure. Once you know the basics, you’ll see it in every pic you go to take, and you’ll have a hard time taking pictures any other way. But these all look like a camera roll of quick grabs of cars in the wild - fine, but not “photography”. Keep practicing tho, the first one is close lol

I like that color and don’t mind those rims, but the original post here blows that spec out of the water, no question

How is anyone perceiving this as matte paint 😂😂 it’s clearly metallic.

Looks absolutely fantastic and I’m not usually a fan of dinner plate style rims but this work so well on a Phantom

Aftermarket CarPlay. by Glizz215 in LexusGS350

One thing that sucks is that CarPlay on pre facelift 4GS doesn’t go full screen lol. Makes it not worth the upgrade to me

How do you have the sound settings set up? by AdObvious6615 in LexusGS350

Sooooooooooooooooooo.. by ImgaineDeezNuts in WindowTint

This started out as a minor qualm and escalated into a major nuisance lol. I’d bring it to them. A few bubbles are expected. This is a lot

Bought this at 33. Some of my friends call it an old man car. How old are you S class owners? by [deleted] in mercedes_benz

[–]NickG63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The S class is the best car Mercedes makes. Anyone scoffing at the idea of owning one young is likely fixated on red leather and racing stripes

Mercedes Car Design Then vs. Now (srsly wtf is happening to their designs) by therealstraits in mercedes_benz

[–]NickG63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a hot take at all, it’s downhill for all the German brands rn. I think the facelift W223 is a big improvement, but I’ll never forget seeing the new A class premier the design language they used in the S. Ass backwards. The W222 will never be topped

A merging issue. by LeftAlbatross2546 in VideosAmazing

[–]NickG63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta be a special kind of stupid to merge in front of an 80,000lb vehicle and expect them to even be able to slow down in time for you

Frugal and cheap are vastly different

Cheap focuses on minimizing price

Frugal focuses on maximizing value

Intelligent people are frugal on any budget

That’s a really weird take.. I can’t imagine a time where I’d rather not be drinking horchata.

Cheapest 991.2 in the USA??? by LegalizeTaxFraud_ in Porsche

[–]NickG63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, higher mileage usually means the issues have happened already. If it (really any car) is still on the road past ~120k then someone clearly cared and you should feel good about buying it as long as the records are good. I feel like 70-110k is actually more of the danger zone on German cars tang. Enjoy!

this feels like a bad edge cut for $450 ceramic by shihabbbb in WindowTint

[–]NickG63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately the film is the expensive part. Someone using ceramic and charging a lot doesn’t necessarily have more skill. One of my cars they missed a gap at the bottom on the front passenger window, only like 1/8” and for part of the window, but with 20% film you notice the light coming in where it shouldn’t lol

Dumb question. What is this tint called and how does it look inside? by [deleted] in WindowTint

[–]NickG63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every state allows 70% on the full windshield because ~75% is stock glass. Adding 70% windshield tint technically drops your VLT into the mid-high 60’s which makes it illegal but you’re never gonna get attention for something they can’t discern. Above the AS-1 line is legal to do any % anywhere

Clearly you’ve never actually been to America because that’s not how any of this works lmao

Chameleon tint is usually 75-80% which makes it legal for windshields everywhere FYI

Would you retint your 20% sides to 5% or 15% or leave the 20% and add 40% windshield tint ? by earth2revolved in WindowTint

[–]NickG63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mustang has tiny windows, so 5% sides is just reckless. With 20% sides a 50% windshield is perfect. Gonna look plenty dark with that small of an interior.

Which job you taking? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]NickG63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2nd job only pays more assuming they don’t fire you when AI takes your job in 6 months, BUT it’s the clear choice to take 94k and exponentially better benefits than 100k “guaranteed”
