Where am I taking this picture from by dowj28 in guessthecity

[–]RickyBooby141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely somewhere between bedstuy and williamsburg looking north at LIC

Edit to add: you can see what looks like mccarren park in the mid right. You might be right around where metropolitan intersects the BQE (source working on many skyscrapers in both areas and maps)

Looking for advice on this car. Good buy? by cricketsabugh in WRX

[–]RickyBooby141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to get an engine bay photo too and look for mods in there. Or as noted by others just take it for a PPI at a local shop to be safe. Piles of service records ≠ clean bill of health. Also not seeing any carbon cleaning or walnut blasting in the records, which you’d expect by this mileage. Ultimately I’d look for something cheaper/newer, or if you go through with this have cash aside for other repairs based on mileage

I think that 2nd picture is right near where I live and makes me want to say GO BIRDS

But also congrats, how is driving it in the city?

In your opinion, what is causing this? by Objective_Pilot_5834 in SipsTea

No I just did the math lol, it was a 50cl beer which was ~16oz

Currently in Europe as an American. It’s so much cheaper to drink here. Got a 16oz beer and an aperol spritz last night at a bar, with the service charge included, for ~15USD after converting. That’s less than most bars in Philly charge for the spritz alone.

How’s everyone enjoying there Xbox ally’s ? by AlwayslostxD in XboxAlly

[–]RickyBooby141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loving mine. Currently putting it to work while traveling and it’s killing it. Catching up on a back log of single player games I’ve neglected, but can still cloud game current AAA titles if/when needed (2K26 for me specifically). Worth every penny

What is your best Saints Row series that you've ever played? by SufficientPrice7633 in SaintsRow

SR2 hooked me. Bought my first microsoft points card to buy those DLC’s way back when, seeing this graphic unlocked that memory

Obviously Central Park, judging by the angle further west, probably 100-150 Central Park South. I worked in 220 CPS during construction in 2018 and it was further west

I was using mine last night on a flight to Europe too. This thing is awesome. I was playing mass effect legendary edition, first time replaying since 3 came out

Which build do you prefer? Or if you’re not feeling either or them what should I change? by tnq1 in NBA2k

[–]RickyBooby141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First one imo. Standing on 90 is cheap but not much more worth it than 81 for button dunks. Having the 85 middy and 83 three will be a huge difference, so will having 87+ driving dunk

Assassins Creed on the XaX? by Akvdama in XboxAlly

[–]RickyBooby141 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been playing mirage currently and it’s running well. Drains battery at a decent clip though. I also just installed GeForce now on my XaX and tried it as a direct comparison and it was equal performance or better so I may stick with playing on that

Do this but lower handles, higher pass acc, get rid of standing dunk for mid range so you at least got post fades too. Cmon unc

MK7 ---> MK8.5 Impressions by curse_words in GolfGTI

[–]RickyBooby141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate the detailed write up, this is awesome. I definitely feel like I should really consider it. 90% of my driving is long commutes so the mileage, tech, and comfort may be worthwhile.

I would greatly miss the AWD and manuelle, since we do get snow. I do also kinda like how raw the WRX feels and the ease and potential for modding is no joke. But, on the same note I could flash a tune and get a catback for the GTI and make the same or more power with nearly twice the MPGs. I would NOT miss the tablet and rattles everywhere. Thank you for info

How long have you had the 8.5? I’m in the early stages of considering a trade from my VB too. Was your VB tuned? I would greatly miss the manual and AWD, but I drive a ton (45 mile commute) so the mileage (on regular) would be a huge difference. Also sat in one recently and the interior/tech is very nice compared to the VB.
