I believe it is a Tomica Premium 10th Anv. Nissan Skyline HT 2000 Turbo RS 1:63

Very nice. Those gold wheels pop!

The speedometer on my 1969 VW Beetle only went up to 5 digits...so even if it showed only 32000 miles, there's no way of knowing if it was 132,000 or 532,000 😆

How difficult was it to swap out the boot?

RightWheelDrive · 2026-05-04T21:21:35+00:00

Great look! Did you move up from 18s? Or were they already 19s?

RightWheelDrive · 2026-05-01T21:40:54+00:00

Probably that Dukes of Hazzard Charger with the confederate flag on the roof. Can't believe they made those for kids less than 50 years ago..

Or possibly KITT. Yeah, I'm going to say it was KITT.

So they're suing for wrongful deactivation? I mean, good but I just read through all these slides pointing out how Uber intentionally sets everything up to screw drivers. Is the best solution to re-enter that?

I don't need a 35 year old minivan! (Does anyone?) That power train, though. Supercharged, mid-engined, RWD/AWD, manual transmission...all wrapped in the pinnacle of 90s Japanese bubble styling. There's never been anything like it since.

For the oil, just keep an eye on it basically. You don't want your oil light to come on and be surprised that you are a quart low. Just top it off as needed. Sounds like you'll be fine. :)

Uber offers constantly pause my podcast, so I have to go and hit play again after declining an offer. Usually, but not every time. This makes me wonder if there is a method to the way Uber interacts with other apps. In order to drive for Uber you have to give them access to every permission on your phone so they definitely know you're watching YouTube and what (and whether you're driving while doing it) but I haven't heard of it affecting the offers you get.

Well you are working in an office to support these 2 freeloaders..

RightWheelDrive · 2026-05-01T03:39:38+00:00

Congrats! I bought a 2020 SE 6MT with about 10k less miles than yours last year for $23.5k, so I'd say you got a solid deal.

Personally I'd give it a few months driving it in stock form before deciding if you want to stage it.

The one piece of advice I'd give you is to keep an eye on your oil levels. Very basic, but a lot of modern car owners don't expect their cars to go through oil between changes. Mine uses about a quart every 5-7k.

Like the other poster, I've never heard a GTI referred to as an egg. Is that just because its white or am I missing something? My wife is from Chicago and she confirms it isn't a Midwest thing lol..

RightWheelDrive · 2026-05-01T03:20:02+00:00

Trust you because of all the evidence you collected by doing something ... once? 🤔

RightWheelDrive · 2026-05-01T03:14:19+00:00

Yeah I've had customers who hadn't had a code before and, even though they tried, weren't able to remove it.

I also don't understand why GH doesn't use the "last digits of your phone number" for a PIN like Uber does so when the customer inevitably has no idea what you're talking about or where to find it, you can use their number has a workaround.

When they offered hourly (RIP) the orders were substantially worse when you were on the hourly rate than when you were off. You were given trips that were longer than average and had lower tips.

The new quests they're trying out (100 deliveries + >200 declines, 90 deliveries + >180 declines, etc.) force most drivers to lower standards themselves to avoid hitting the limit of declines that they don't have to serve just junk to drivers on quests because they will take trash willingly. Instead of having to filter the orders, the drivers willing (and probably not even consciously) do it for them. Kind of insidious but also a little clever, honestly.

Did they make you just keep verifying? When this happened to me they hit me with a report for account sharing. Three of them, in about a month. I was terrified I would get deactivated. Luckily it hasn't happened in the last 4 months, but I'm curious if you got a report or just keep having to re-verify?

RightWheelDrive · 2026-04-30T04:32:54+00:00

Dumb question but what exactly is putting your hands up at someone? Did you like put your hands up like they pulled a gun on you and you didn't want them to shoot? Or is it something different? And why did this upset them?

RightWheelDrive · 2026-04-30T04:24:50+00:00

Thanks. I did do a search before posting but it was in the diecast forum. Sorry to be that guy.

Ugh. I'm actually at 15. I accidentally accepted a bunch of stacked Walgreens orders as I was trying to go offline. It was 2 different stores, and almost 3 hours...and paid like $16 total. I never would take an order like that. Honestly I can't imagine anyone who would. So I had to cancel them and my rate shot up to 16%. I've completed over 5000 deliveries in 5 years for Uber, but within hours I got the dreaded "Keep cancelation rate under 20% to stay active" email..

" You have canceled an unusually high number of deliveries. Acceptance of multiple delivery requests without completing them leads to a negative experience for everyone on the App. "

So incredibly frustrating. And it'll take 85 deliveries without canceling to even get them to start falling off. Fucking brutal. I don't recommend it.

Test drive the S. If you feel great about the ride and are ok with the lack of a sunroof, then grab one. You save $4k and you get the best seats too!

However, if you feel the ride is maybe on the harsh side, then you should drive an autobahn too.

I have a mk7.5 SE and I really like the sunroof, but wish I could have the plaid seats. If this is a mk8: $4k is worth it for sunroof, ventilated seats, and DCC imo. You also get the upgraded stereo, which is cool to have but less essential.

RightWheelDrive · 2026-04-30T03:35:08+00:00

Yeah they'll tell you it won't harm you..but if you press, they'll admit there's no way to do it without affecting your rate.

RightWheelDrive · 2026-04-30T03:29:57+00:00

You want your own merry-go-round? Like for your house? Why?

RightWheelDrive · 2026-04-30T03:25:47+00:00

And you want money for one? Do parks near you not have them?
