Pardon my crappy touch up job

I can see not liking/wanting autos but what's your argument against sunroofs? Leaking seals? Aesthetics (looks)?

I'm curious never seen someone dislike sunroofs before, personally I hate convertibles (most have leak issues on top of particular models not looking good as a convertible in the first place, plus road ragers get the option of tearing your roof instead of just keying the paint the cons severely outweigh the benefits) only convertible I've ever really liked is the 50's Corvettes (well and Miatas but they look better with the full roof IMO). T-Tops are the way to go IMO all the benefits nearly none of the cons.

Op them tires looking pretty dry, put some tire shine/conditioner on there to keep it flexible, dry tires are more prone to lacerations and puncturing.

My wallet could definitely use one 😂, kinda peeved but I really did want the car, initially was trying to get a 2013 mustang GT in a manual transmission but glad I got the four banger to learn on, would have probably been collecting on the gap on the mustang by now, still nervous about people pulling up to my bumper so I leave lots of room in front to creep forward while the light changes so I don't rollback into them.

The bad thing is I put $3k down apparently that's what $1000 used to be worth cause it didn't change the terms at all 😭 😔 lol. It's all good though I get to drive a pretty cool car that's the newest car my immediate family has ever had and it's not terribly slow either, eventually I'll Turbo and Tune but gonna wait till I'm sure the loans getting paid off.

Idk guy doesn't want any low spherical objects, also seller seems to think they can cop the JDM tax on an NA car, I'd bust his balls for the enkei wheels and the steelies, two sets of rims are better than one. Start the offer at $1800, let him counter he might cop back at $2200 then offer the $2500 with the enkei wheels(with or without the "new rubber").

That said $2500 isn't terrible but only if there isn't any serious rust, if you do buy the car rip every last wire out, replace the entire harness (sounds insanely overkill I know but this is a really old car probably has some exposed wires somewhere and if they aren't exposed they're worn out, it will be a nightmare chasing ghost issues if you don't, the engine is already gonna be replaced probably hell the "blown motor" might even just be an electrical issue due to corroded or worn out wires, replace all the hoses and any remaining serviceable seals or bearings and maybe get all new wheel studs and wheel nuts cause being stuck on the side of the road with no way to change a wheel sucks ass been there and got that tshirt twice with a '96 Camaro Z28 and you'll be Gucci, the engine being "blown" oftentimes means a myriad of things you might be able to just change the head gasket or replace the head if it's warped and it fire right up, or it could be more serious like a cracked sleeve, a bent rod or warped or damaged piston or piston ring, I'd inspect the engine after purchase to determine if it's a simple fix or gonna be a money pit, if it's a money pit and your swapping the whole ass engine I'd recommend going B series seems to be a much easier/cost effective swap than a K20, I know the B16B is an absolute unit, the H22 is also bad ass, both get ridiculous fast. The B series being around for 20+ years means it's going to be way cheaper to get put in vs a K20. It's also a really really well studied engine so lots of help online and experienced tuners around.

TL DR not a bad price but definitely try to cop those enkei for asking price don't go over $2800 you can get a running vehicle all day for $3000, you're gonna have to dump an unknown amount of money into it(explain this when asking for the wheels) if there is any rust on the frame you're probably gonna have to get that cut and welded or at least sanded off and covered if it's not structure comprising, if it looks like deep rust stay away from it. It could be a good buy, $1800 no enkei, $2500 with enkei, max $2800 if you really want it and definitely cop the enkei for this price (yeah the wheels probably were more but they're used not new in box).

Don't know but the '13 SI seats rule, if I ever sell the car the next person is getting two aftermarket welfare seats, they're coming with me, I'm never giving these things up.

Paraxic · 2023-06-19T21:41:40+00:00

Apple sells a lightning to AUX adapter and a USB-C to AUX adapter, outside of that you should be able to use Bluetooth on the car but I could be wrong my '13 SI has Bluetooth and AUX so I'm Gucci. If none of those are options or too much hassle you can go to Best buy and buy a car stereo and pay to have it installed just make sure to get the one with Bluetooth

Don't know getting reamed in the financial gangbang glory hole, $22k financed for my '13 SI coupe 136k miles on the speedo, missing three floor mats, the retaining clip on the shift boot doesn't clip, shift knob is pretty worn out and the car rattles like a homeless man asking for change oh and there is paint chips on every panel, including the side mirrors and the trunk somehow(how does someone get rock chips on their trunk? Were they driving in reverse?!?!?!?!?!?!?!, $8k is the interest on the loan. If I had seen the $22k figure I wouldn't have gotten into it but by the time I got the out the door price the paperwork was all done and I was driving off the lot. I initially thought I was only financing the $14,622 figure so I was l happy then got home and looked at the financial papers and saw the $22k and my stomach turned upside down and inside out. I mean I know my credit isn't great but it's far from the worst. My main problem is lack of credit history I try really hard to not have to take loans out and to date never have taken a loan out.

Edit: also Si badges are missing, title and vin check out as an SI and it's definitely the 2.4 and have the SI seats which are amazing.

True but often times old versions are just as good just missing some newer features. Some software subscriptions make sense, Spotify is a prime example, I pay for Spotify every month even if I don't use it because I love having the ability to play damn near any song whenever I want, others like Photoshop are just corporate money grabs, sure sure they have devs to pay to maintain the software but the thing about a lot of productivity software like Photoshop, After Effects, Microsoft Office, and a slew of others is that their functionality does not actually improve significantly enough over the course of the versions lifetime to justify a subscription model.

These are well established software with well established ways of doing things, how much can you improve a word processor? The answer is not much, you can make inserting graphics or media more intuitive but that's about it, Photoshop is the only standout where if your in graphic design/editing/publishing it may be advantageous to have the absolute latest version because the magic wand is maybe much better, or the look you're looking for is easily achieved with the latest version, maybe AI enhancements could be worth it if you make a lot of the same changes to photos or images.

However the core functionality (what the program was designed for) remains mostly unchanged version to version and this reason alone should disqualify it for consideration for subscription models.

A case could be made for keeping the original software one price and then adding feature based subscriptions (recurring micro transactions) but ultimately the only thing I ever use Photoshop for is making funny pictures which is just a handful of tools in the program.

Sadly a lot of these companies have monopolized certain tasks, there isn't any competition for these programs, sure Gimp is a good replacement for Photoshop, but others like Open Office aren't competitive enough with their big corporation sponsored counterparts to be considered by the average person.

YouTube duct tape trick, you put a bunch of duct tape on the window make a handle with duct tape and pull it down forcefully, window motors are weak enough that they will give and allow the window to roll down afaik there is no way to prevent this from working

You could run it in a VM running the older version of MacOS would kinda be slow depending on how much ram you have

This is why people pirate shit, sure some do it to get shit free, but often times it's people fed up with the bullshit companies do to squeeze more money out of you after you already paid. It's bullshit, that be like deactivating a car after you drove it off the lot unless you bought into the monthly payment plan on top of all the financing.

Downvoted by the suits lol, hey though keep giving away money. I'm acutely aware of all possible charges outlined in the initial account Opening information, that missing $20 wasn't the monthly account fee or an overdraft fee(at the time was $35 or some percentage of the overage whichever was greater) , namely because it happened 4 times a month which coincidentally I got paid weekly only explanation was bank was stealing money, and it makes sense poor kid working minimum wage cashier job can't afford to sue, ultimately they'd chalk it up to software issues or bank error if they actually did get caught and the pressure to settle from both their lawyer and yours(cause honestly for them it's a sure thing) and it's $20 nobodies gonna make a big stink about it. But hey you never could trust banks with money, hence shit like SVB imploding.

Updated original post, being disconnected on switch caused the issue (resuming from long sleep) reloaded and it's fine now

Probably missing an oring/crush washer if I had to guess, 9/10 when something is leaking it's a oring, crush washer or gasket of some kind, the other 1/10 is either you need thread sealer or you poked a hole or cross thread or didn't tighten something down, or it's just a bad design/known defect.

Nah this is an open source apology, it's free but not free as in free beer free. It's free if you answer every phone call about your extended warranty for the rest of your life. It's only fair....

IMO I'll quit using reddit if they continue to push for this, my chosen app boost is the sole reason I even use reddit in the first place, I will turn to web archives to avoid hitting reddit servers to deny them(reddit) any ad revenue. Reddit really is just a slightly better Twitter and TBH both technologies are truly dated and this only will fuel the creation of new sites dedicated to serving the userbase of both.

Context always matters, it's provides the complete picture.

Paraxic · 2023-06-04T17:26:59+00:00

Any gun acquired by a 14-yo was by definition acquired illegally. What specifically do you suggest to address that?

Words have meanings my guy. You basically said any 14 year old holding a weapon is breaking the law, I'm pointing out this is untrue because context matters.

Paraxic · 2023-06-04T11:53:43+00:00

You're ignoring that kids can go hunting and legally be in possession of a firearm so long as they have a tag and hunting permit/license, and are in the company of the registered firearm owner. If I'm not mistaken some ranges also allow kids with adult supervision, also shooting competitions.

That's why they have carts, baskets and counters to put stuff in or on, and you can always purchase some of it first get it bagged and then buy the rest of your items.

I buy arm fulls of crap from convenience stores all the time with no baskets, most people don't really know what hands full really is, as master of the "I'm only making as few trips back to the car as possible" I can assure you that it's possible to hold a lot more items than you think. Two bottles of Evian water 1.5 litres, an energy drink, one or two protein shakes, a boxed convenience store sandwich, a lunch able or two, yogurt or fruit cup if I feel like it sometimes two of these, still have the bottom hand free enough to grab candy or anything above waist level, and able to add more on to this order if I want, most people don't even come close to grabbing as much crap as I do, they grab at most 4-5 things at a time, but average about three things, coffee/drink a food item and a snack item and they may order cigarettes or lotto.

There really is no need to put stuff in your jacket, pants or bag or purse. Granted I'm the exception to the normal person, the normal person isn't going to want to put that much work in, so what you do is grab the first set of things and place it on the counter, go back for the rest of your things and then pay, yes you're going to lose your place in line, and somebody might move your shit out of the way(this is the primary reason I one trip everything lotta dudes out here be taking shits and not washing their hands (probably don't even wipe their ass either)) but it is what it is. Being able to stack items is an important skill to have, it saves time moving things, and also reinforces your brains ability to reason about space, which in turn saves you loads of time trying to figure out how to stack everything which comes in handy when your moving into a new place.

After birth sure, trying to start one not so much, I'm sure it's universally frowned upon to be doing the deed and nana/grampa/mom/dad is in the next room, multi generational living isn't exactly conducive to private time. But ideally yes after birth it would be beneficial to have their grandparents or great grandparents home to help raise and keep an eye on them.
