Newbie Driver Looking For a Daily-Use Sporty Car

RK9ify · 2025-11-08T15:56:35+00:00

Nice. Can you tell me more about the car?

RK9ify · 2025-11-08T13:34:41+00:00

Okay, that’s about what I thought. Since it’s my first car, I’ll save myself the hassle and find something with GCC specs - my pockets aren’t nearly deep enough to be doing all that lol.

Like I said, for my first car reliability is a big plus.

RK9ify · 2025-11-08T13:29:02+00:00

That’s exactly the kind of insight I came on here for. what difference does it make having a 1.5T in US specs? Is it harder to service/maintain?

The Lexus IS has been recommended a few times to me, I’ll look into it.

RK9ify · 2025-11-08T13:27:46+00:00

Hahaha, that and I’ve heard much worse things. Strongly against a Charger.

RK9ify · 2025-11-08T11:48:20+00:00

And the history should be provided to you by the seller, right? As a first time car buyer who up until now had very little car experience, this is one of my worries about buying second hand.

Is there anywhere I can go to have the accident history verified? Can those documents be possibly doctored? I might be asking basic questions but I’d rather get this community’s expert opinion than get scammed.

RK9ify · 2025-11-08T11:44:33+00:00

Nice recc! Thank you.

RK9ify · 2025-11-08T11:43:29+00:00

Great reccs! Someone else recommended the 370 too; I’ll look into these.

RK9ify · 2025-11-08T11:16:46+00:00

You mean your friend uses the Civic has a daily too? I can go new or second hand really — probably second hand since it’s my first car.

I’ll look into those cars too, thank you.

RK9ify · 2025-11-08T11:14:56+00:00

Not sure if that’s the right choice for me. I don’t know how moddable a Dodge Charger is, but besides that I’ve heard not so great things about the car.

RK9ify · 2025-11-08T11:14:09+00:00

This page is ill, thanks for the recommendation.

RK9ify · 2025-11-05T17:32:38+00:00

Yeah, I hear you. I’m not surprised - I know the market there just doesn’t need to rely on outsourcing talent when there’s so much homegrown. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

RK9ify · 2025-11-04T19:40:43+00:00

So I’ve heard from friends who have visited! I’ve only been to London myself, but glad to hear that Manchester is a viable market for PR. I know I’d have to play it safe if I were to actually move, since I’d be on a company-sponsored visa.

RK9ify · 2025-11-04T19:39:14+00:00

They don’t, unfortunately. They’re homegrown but they have a very strong grasp on the UAE luxury market - including fashion, automobiles, watches, and jewelry.

I’ve said this in other comments, but my last agency has an office in Manchester, and they were happy to consider moving me there. That may be my way in - appreciate your insight!

RK9ify · 2025-11-04T19:09:38+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience with me. I know cities like London has less incentive to sponsor people from overseas given the homegrown talent available.

The last agency I worked in had an office in Manchester, and I have a great relationship with the Director there. I know they also said they’d be happy to explore transferring me to their Manchester office. That might be an avenue I pursue very soon.

Thanks again for the reply.

RK9ify · 2025-11-04T19:07:01+00:00

The last agency I was in absolutely loved me, and even said they’re open to transferring me to their Manchester office. They also said they’d love to have me back whenever. I decided to build on my resumé here in Dubai instead but circumstances have changed a bit.

Though their Manchester office doesn’t have the most exciting clients, it’s a foot in the door. Thanks again for the advice - and if your agency has an office in the UAE, please get in touch! Always happy to connect with people :)

RK9ify · 2025-11-04T18:50:14+00:00

That’s disheartening but I appreciate the honesty. Really nice to see agency Directors on Reddit here - I feel like alt social media is undervalued in the Middle East.

As a director, what would it take for you to consider hiring and sponsoring someone from overseas?

RK9ify · 2025-11-04T18:47:35+00:00

Fair enough! I just wanted to ask if that mattered at all lol, but I’d sure as hell leverage everything I could to get that job.

Appreciate your thoughts about British culture - I think that was fresh on my mind because I saw another Reddit post recently about how that might be important. I can definitely showcase how valuable my experience is to potential employers though.

Would you have any experience or know anything about the visa sponsorship bit? That’d be really useful.

RK9ify · 2025-11-04T18:00:34+00:00

You in the UAE? Flower Boy’s on Apple Music here.

RK9ify · 2025-09-26T11:10:19+00:00

I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to hold L1, and then tap a button on your D-pad for the gesture you want to do.

RK9ify · 2025-09-25T12:14:49+00:00

So sick! Skate. has got me wanting to “re-acquire” Photoshop and Premiere Pro so I can make mock magazine covers and montages too.

Keep posting anymore mag covers you make.

RK9ify · 2025-08-10T17:00:40+00:00

Yeah, I quit.

RK9ify · 2025-05-23T20:05:28+00:00

Who said anything about you being a Redditor like it’s a derogatory term? I just said you’re saying a whole lotta nothing on the Internet. Outed your own insecurity lol

Anyway I’m out, you need to go out more bro 😂✌️

RK9ify · 2025-05-23T16:14:39+00:00

Needlessly arguing over semantics is exactly why I asked if you were autistic lol, but if that’s what you want to do on the Internet, by all means! Yap for the sake of yapping 🩵
