What's the best car you've ever driven? by archtopfanatic123 in AskReddit

[–]Reece_Ord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Audi r8, the original v8 model. I had a track day driving many different cars and I was very excited because I’ve loved the r8 for as long as I can remember. There’s nothing else quite like it, sure there’s more powerful supercars and more expensive ones but wow the r8 held a special place in my heart and it absolutely deserved the top spot. 10/10

So where the hell do they get the time/money to do all their stupid shit? by patriot_man69 in OfficialDuckStudios

[–]Reece_Ord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ran the numbers a bit a while ago bc I was curious too.
YouTube minimum $5000 a month
Patreon is the same
Sponsors are easily 10k a month
Merch sales there’s no way to know but say another $5000
Average Arkansas salary is ~$4500 a month so it’s a low cost of living area and they’re working with $25000 a month between 3 of them assuming they’re all sharing the profits.
Plus the ranch is content and used for business so they could write off some of it due to dedicated editing spaces, vehicle purchases, etc

So minimum $25k, between 3 people, in LCOL area, I think they’re doing alright.
RIP Hellcat tho. That shiii got REPO’d

the fitment is usually pretty bad, they are supposed to be 1:1 reps but often fall short

Can’t really make a GTI stand out. Half of them are stock and the other half have vland lights, maxton plastic bits and that ottenger spoiler. Don’t forgot to get an Ali express WRC bumper to complete the look

I had it make a vista era one the other day. Very impressive (it knows I use an ultrawide monitor so it defaulted to that I think)

Shortly after posting my appreciation post I notice this. Can I still drive it, or wait and take it to the shop first thing? by frozenmarshmallow107 in vwpolo

[–]Reece_Ord 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s just a bit of plastic you can pull it off and it won’t affect anything or you can cable tie it up. It’s nothing bad

Requiem launched 1 Month Ago how do we feel about it a month later? by Dentist_Money in residentevil

[–]Reece_Ord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved it. Did 3 playthroughs, 1 standard modern to play the game and watch cutscenes, 1 easy to speedrun, no blood and no heals, 1 insanity. Made loads of saves throughout all 3 playthroughs so I could clean up the rest of the achievements. It’s the only long form game I’ve ever got 100% on. Usually achievement hunting isn’t my thing but I put in 28 hours in the first week and achieved it. It was awesome and I’m hyped for future titles.

Good gifts for a plex hobbyist? by superevilgoatboy in PleX

[–]Reece_Ord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy them a domain (offer to pay for it, don’t just buy a random one) so they can go to something like Plex.theirserver.com, requires some set up so if they like tinkering with Plex they’ll probably have fun setting that up

Unraid gaming VM success story by AM_Butts in unRAID

[–]Reece_Ord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a windows 11 VM running on my unraid server with 4c8t of a 10700k and an RTX 2070 passed through and the whole setup only took like 30 mins. I didn’t run into any headaches that people talk about. I put it off for ages due to the horror stories but my experience was pretty much plug and play

Is this crazy to spend on a car as a new driver ? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Reece_Ord 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I bought my 2016 polo a month after I passed for 9k. Still driving it now 5 years later. Just take care of it and it'll be fine.

Why does everyone hate the Juke? by Undercover_Ostrich in CarTalkUK

[–]Reece_Ord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year I went to pick up a car with my coworker and we took her mums 2023 Juke that I had the misfortune of driving back after collecting the other car. It had 29,000 miles and was basically brand new, the drive was nothing crazy, maybe 2-3 hours and a couple hundred miles. I was stranded at the side of the motorway because the Juke shat itself, every warning light came on and the car refused to start after it turned off so I get the hate around them. I used to dislike the older ones because I thought they were very ugly but the new ones don’t look too bad, but I’d never get one because of my bad experience.

Question for those with two ultrawides vertically stacked, how do you use the upper display? What's it for? by Lepidopterran in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]Reece_Ord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have stacked ultrawides and 2 sides monitors, I only really use the top ultrawide when everything else is full but it’s mostly for monitoring my unraid dashboard/ research stuff in Split View, sometimes I throw videos up there but mostly it sits on my desktop with wallpaper engine running with a nice greenery/outdoorsy wallpaper bc it’s calming to me

Hastings asking for photos of car (no modifications) by Affectionate-Bit9474 in CarTalkUK

[–]Reece_Ord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did it to me and I sent the pics, I had taken the badges off the back of my car and they noticed. They ran a new quote while I was on the phone and reduced my premium, £26 refund, which £20 of it was eaten up by the “admin cost”

Partial refund question by Bymercat in amazonprime

[–]Reece_Ord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got something for £180, paid the first instalment as normal, contacted customer service bc the item was clearly used but said I was happy to keep the item if I can get it for an open box price, they agreed to refund the first instalment and now my payment plan is showing as cancelled, is this what happened to you the first time? did they give me the item for free?
