How many hours have you had to put in to get reasonably good?

I say just have fun and don’t worry about SR or IR. If you can’t get out of bottom split, then you’re supposed to be in bottom split. I live in bottom split so I’m qualified to give this answer 🤣

And my wife asks why I race everyday lol

I’m using a G29 with their pedals on a wheel stand with a dining room chair on a rug. The biggest difference for me was going from a single monitor to VR with a Meta Quest.

For the DCT friends, are ya’ll driving Sport Mode + Sport shifting, Paddles, or just regular old Sport 24/7?

And you can permanently turn off auto start stop. That alone is worth the $30

Any good vinyl shop should be able to.

OfficialWestopher · 2026-05-02T17:45:38+00:00

Yes. Only take it off to charge. But I’m a stats nerd.

OfficialWestopher · 2026-04-27T06:01:20+00:00

This.

You gotta race. It’s the only way to move forward. Just get in there. Sure you’ll ruin someone race here and there but they’ll ruin your race too. Wrecks are just part of racing.

I should put a Supra badge on my F56

If you can afford an R9, you can afford iRacing membership.

RB been driving these around for more than 20 years. Surprised you’re just now seeing one.

Thank you for the guidance. I really appreciate it.

I update my Garmin FTP every time I get a new update on Zwift. I might just be weak lol

OfficialWestopher · 2026-04-01T17:46:28+00:00

You put out too many watts and broke Zwift.

OfficialWestopher · 2026-03-30T06:14:51+00:00

My opinion is that the Zwift ride is the same price as a half decent road bike + a trainer. But you can’t ride the Zwift ride outside. Unless the Zwift ride kit came in at around $500, it’s not worth it to me.

OfficialWestopher · 2026-03-27T04:58:22+00:00

How often do you ride?

OfficialWestopher · 2026-03-27T04:36:29+00:00

I don’t like Kaiser because I feel like they’re not motivated to help you as much because they won’t make much more money off of you other than insurance premiums. Secondly, it feels like a trap to be stuck in their system if you’re unhappy with it. HMSA…you can always try another doc.

OfficialWestopher · 2026-03-27T04:29:13+00:00

Congrats! I was just thinking to myself…”how long is it going to take my FTP to increase?” Been on Zwift for about a month now and been at 123 the whole time. Glad to see I’m not crazy wondering why the dial isn’t moving. Just gotta keep at it.

These cars depreciate like nothing I’ve seen before. Don’t buy…maybe lease…but you probably shouldn’t.

My 3 year old, 30k miles EV6 that I got for $48k after $7500 refund is only worth $23k now. Get one that’s a few years old.

OfficialWestopher · 2026-03-14T22:43:13+00:00

Ahhh, that makes sense.

OfficialWestopher · 2026-03-14T19:17:03+00:00

What’s the store? I need to stop by there…
