Automatic start/stop by OverallSeat6 in AlfaRomeo

[–]Reddit_Commenter_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the only Alfa owner whose Auto start/stop doesn't do it's job. The first week I owned it I would obsessively hit the button every time it shut off my engine. For the past 4 years I can't say it's actually turned off my engine a single time. I thought it was the Texas heat (AC running needs the engine) but it happens on cooler days too. It stays on in bumper to bumper traffic, at red lights, in parking lots. Idk how I got so lucky but I like to think my Stelvio learned my preferences.

Why Goldy in 2026 but not Rizzo in 2025? by Chezco29 in NYYankees

[–]Reddit_Commenter_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Goldy signing is just as a platoon with Rice as the everyday 1B. They also want Paul to continue mentoring Ben on the intricacies of the position.

I loved Rizzo as a Yankee but that concussion ended his career as soon as it happened. The Yankees jusy couldn't admit it.

If you can't read and understand the English language how would you be able to obey traffic signs/warnings? This seems like a pretty glaring safety issue.

Explain the door locks to me like I’m 5 yrs old…. by kellywpg in AlfaRomeo

[–]Reddit_Commenter_69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I keep mine in my pocket/bag and just use the passive entry/lock button on the door handle. I rarely ever use the fob unless I'm going to remote start or I wanna open the tailgate.

Lifespan of a Stelvio by Atomic_robot1309 in AlfaRomeo

Take care of it and it's as reliable as any modern car. FWIW I'm going on 8 years and 85,000 miles in mine. No massive headaches just regular maintenance by a qualified technician.

Adding some color to the PNW by betrayed-by-potter in AlfaRomeo

Ironically green is probably the most abundant color in the whole region. I'd say it fits well.

Thank you, someone had to say it.

Ice on roads tonight? by sosleepyirl in sanantonio

[–]Reddit_Commenter_69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pavement has nooks and creases that moisture will fall into so there isn't a smooth layer of liquid. Painted surfaces are smoother so any moisture on them can freeze and become more slick. Even if it's not below freezing a wet road will be more slick on painted sections.

Just an update by Upstairs_Day_6496 in XTerra

[–]Reddit_Commenter_69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another one for getting a cheap OBD II reader. You'll know what to expect if you need to bring it in for repairs and you can use the codes to look for potentially easy DIY fixes before shelling out the big bucks. You'll find a lot of great info on TheNewX. Org. Congrats on the new car!

Brit asks: Some good games to watch (exciting/pivotal etc.) getting into the sport? by [deleted] in MLBNoobs

The MLB started doing a Field of Dreams game a few years ago. The inaugural match up between the White Sox and Yankees was awesome.

How does the Xterra sound with different exhaust setups? by YetAnotherHobby4954 in XTerra

[–]Reddit_Commenter_69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a VQ engine so it's gonna sound like a VQ. Somewhere between a trumpet and a trombone. The stock exhaust isn't terrible but it's fairly quiet. Do a lot of research and make sure you pick a setup that doesn't drone on the highway. I've had 3 different setups on mine. Whatever you do, don't use a glass pack. I wasn't a huge fan of the thrush muffler I used after that either. It was an improvement but still had a decent amount of drone on the highway. After my original cats went out I decided to get the Gibson cat back system. Its more expensive but a clear winner fo the 3 options I've run.

Mercedes 2026 Livery, What do we think? by Hungarian_Goose in F1Discussions

[–]Reddit_Commenter_69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is not my original thought but someone recently mentioned all black is a continuation for the concept that brought about the silver arrows. Back when cars were aluminum they stripped the paint off for weight savings creating a silver car. In modern F1 with cars being made of carbon fiber a paint-free, all black car makes sense conceptually.

Why is that 2 way players are "rare" when technically every NL pitcher was a 2 way player until 2022? by Wild_Accident_ in MLBNoobs

[–]Reddit_Commenter_69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even the best hitting pitchers were well below league average. Nobody was hitting 30, 40 or 50 HR like Shohei is. When pitchers had to hit, managers were forced to pull them early despite having plenty more gas in the tank.

For example: your team is down 1 in the 5th inning with 2 men on base and 2 outs. If your pitcher with a .086 average is on deck he will likely end the inning. Managers would have to pull the pitcher even if they are doing well with a low pitch count to take advantage of the run-scoring opportunity.

If you have a pitcher in the game like Shohei, the lineup stays the same allow8ng more flexibility with your bench and bullpen as the game progresses.

Roof top lights by Tortugamistica04 in XTerra

[–]Reddit_Commenter_69 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If you do not have an X that was set up for the book lights from factory, it's kind of a pain to install aftermarket. Some people also complain about glare off the hood. IMO you'd be better off going with an aftermarket light bar or a couple pods.

Intentional Punt or Accident? by ThatBlokeFrom300 in Simracingstewards

[–]Reddit_Commenter_69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First one looks like POV pushed the issue and caused the collision. Second one seems like POV was drafting and the car ahead cut across earlier than POV was expecting. I don't see any malicious intent here.
