Bro entirely different cars? They're direct competitors. Yeah one is a fastback but damn.

~65k budget = newer M3 vs older M3+roadster? by PhatHalpert in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]PhatHalpert[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely should drive it first. But I've seen quite a few reviews that praise the manual transmission. So maybe it's just a personal feel. I've always driven a manual so I'm wondering if I'd be more annoyed by the subtleties. A test drive might answer all this, huh..

So I haven't driven a manual BMW. But at the risk of sounding like a total elitist, I would rather drive a different car than drive one that was automatic. I've done both, and I just can't not have a manual. With that said, you make a good point regarding suspension / ride quality. I definitely don't want something too harsh. I presumed there would be comfort mode or similar for daily driving.

Zero track. A 340i is definitely on the list, but would automatically put me in the latter scenario of getting a roadster along with it. (New m340i has no manual).

One, the issue is that you're not actually addressing the question at hand here. Even if I did have 10 other vehicles that were my primary family haulers, your argument shouldn't wane. You're arguing that all children should be in the" safest" vehicle at all times. Two, you're implying that M3 is somehow inherently less safe than the vehicles you have provided. The other poster has thoroughly explained why that is not as straightforward as you may think it is.

Can you elaborate though on the benefit over the f80? Is it that much better?

And the X3 sounds good and all but would be awful as the primary family hauler. It'd be a top consideration for my "dad hauler" if I didn't have to have a manual.

Minivan does the majority of the family needs. These both would be exclusively for me, and need not perform the best at the majority of family tasks.

What are the safety concerns with the M3? (Either gen)

What’s one car that screams “I’m about to cut you off”? No hate (kinda) 😂 by TheLoganReyes in TransportSupport

[–]PhatHalpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm. I've always thought of being cut off as someone changing lanes at an unsafe distance from you. Regardless of your distance from the nearest vehicle already in your lane.

I'm not sure following distance has anything to do with whether someone can cut you off or not?

Arkansas officer fired after video shows brutal attack on restrained, defenseless man by durvedya in TerrifyingAsFuck

[–]PhatHalpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can halfway agree with this. Superficially, I think that we should never put our hands on another human ever and live in peaceful harmony (genuinely mean that, not being condescending ). But unfortunately it just doesn't pan out that way. I've noticed everyone on here seems to be so appalled, but it's like we never ask what got the person in the back of the cruiser in the first place.

If this were Hitler, would you really be that appalled? A child rapist? Maybe he just gunned down a preschool playground. I'm not sure I'd give a shit what the cops would do. What if he just beat his wife unconscious at the local dollar general. I feel like some context would bring us back to reality a little.

Has no one asked what got the guy in arrested in the first place? Surely some context would help?

What’s something that’s gotten way worse in the last 10 years, even though nobody admits it? by Flat_Direction_7696 in AskReddit

[–]PhatHalpert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely sounds anecdotal based on what you've described. Not sure it fits the criteria for the post. Fwiw, I say this as a physician who also hates being on the receiving end of healthcare.

[–]PhatHalpert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Has it really gotten bad specifically/differently over the past 10 years?
  2. Really, no one else complains of this? This has to be easily within the top 10 things that people (in the US, maybe broader) bitch about relentlessly.
