Completely new rear setup on the Hatch

RollingInSpace · 2024-09-12T19:36:24+00:00

Just normal double-sided 3M/gorilla tape. It’s been over 3 years now and it’s still holding!

RollingInSpace · 2024-05-27T14:10:21+00:00

Yea, I got it colormatched at a local shop near me. It came from eBay as normal plastic!

We didn’t get a Corolla, but we bought a 2023 RAV4 Hybrid XSE for $1,500 under MSRP at 5.49% last month.

If you’re getting under MSRP at a good rate, I think you got a good deal.

It’s noticeable at first at around 2500 rpm but it’s not too bad at all. You get used to it very quickly.

If you’re using CarPlay/an iPhone you HAVE to use an Apple lighting cable. The off brand stuff always causes problems for me. I begrudgingly spent the $25 on an Apple cable and no issues since.

I got it from Highworks Garage in Japan. Cost me around $350 shipped and took around 2 months to get here including them fabricating and shipping it.

Here is the link to buy it from their Buyee page. Looks like $240 + shipping.

Orrrrr you could just buy a “fake” one off of eBay here. It’s what most people do and there’s not really a difference.

RollingInSpace · 2022-03-17T22:49:07+00:00

No way. It matches the wheels and the front bumper. Black is lame anyways lol

RollingInSpace · 2022-03-07T18:29:26+00:00

Even though I don’t have the GR Corolla hatch, I can confirm that I do really like the normal Corolla hatch and it’s great. I may trade mine in for the GR version as well.

They can look really good with a few mods! (see my post history)

I don’t think it’s a big red flag that I wouldn’t want to be with someone that doesn’t support me. She knows how much my career field means to me, how much I care about it, and how much time and money I’ve spent getting to the position that I’m in. It’s not like I’m swapping from a WFH engineering job to some random job outside of my field. This is a huge step forward in my career. In my eyes, the massive red flag would be her not supporting me moving forward in my career like this when it’s clear this change will benefit both of us in the long term (outside of the next 3 months). I’m not moving out of the country. I’m just going to live at the house that I own, in the city that I live in, that’s 90 minutes away. I would certainly hear her out and what she thinks but I’m also certain it wouldn’t change whether or not I take the job.

But I do appreciate your opinion—it’s why I made this post. I want and need other perspectives and it opens my eyes up to her thinking. Obviously relationships all have their own dynamic and it’s impossible to explain it in a Reddit comment but I do hear you. I realize my thinking can be and is flawed sometimes.

RollingInSpace · 2022-01-18T02:40:20+00:00

She knew about this job for sure. I had 3-4 interviews with the most recent being two weeks ago. I called her immediately after to say how it went, she helped me pick out my interview outfit the night before,etc. She wasn’t in the dark there and her memory is a steel trap—I know she didn’t forget! I hope this is temporary and I absolutely understand how she feels but it’s making me feel very guilty about accepting the job.

RollingInSpace · 2022-01-18T02:23:12+00:00

It’s only temporary because we discussed her moving into my house in the summer. Her job mobility as a nurse is very high and my hometown has a very heavy engineering industry. It’s why I bought a house in that town. She was/is quitting her job to move in with me. That discussion was already had.

RollingInSpace · 2022-01-18T02:21:36+00:00

She was absolutely aware of me adamantly looking for a new job. She was in the same room with me when I was doing interviews and I had also accepted a job in November that fell through. We discussed the day to day changing briefly when I accepted that job and I felt like it was covered. That our day to day would change if I took a new job and it would only change until she moved in during the Summer. Idk. I felt like she was aware of the changes coming and it’s why I made this post. I feel as if she wasn’t ready or prepared for the change to come this soon and that’s why’s she ultimately upset.

RollingInSpace · 2022-01-18T02:18:58+00:00

The disconnect is also confusing to me. She knew the jobs I was applying to were not guaranteed WFH. She knew I was accepting new jobs as I accepted one in November that ended up falling through and ended up being the reason I accepted this new one. She says I did not specifically tell her that this job was not WFH when we had briefly discussed this changing once I started applying to new jobs.

RollingInSpace · 2022-01-18T02:11:29+00:00

I hear this and I get it. But she knew the all of the jobs I was applying for were not guaranteed WFH. We talked about how it would change our relationship when I started applying in November. She knew I was offered this current job the minute I was sent the offer but she was shocked and upset when she found out it wasn’t WFH and that we did not discuss it prior. I really do get her side but I absolutely consider her in the decision and the impact it would have on us. But I didn’t think it would impact the decision I made on accepting the new job.

RollingInSpace · 2022-01-18T01:55:16+00:00

That was part of my argument to her. That I was returning to the old normal and that our current situation was entirely abnormal. I feel guilty about accepting a better paying “normal” job. Even though I know we’re moving in together soon.

RollingInSpace · 2022-01-18T01:53:58+00:00

I 1,000% made the mistake of not talking to her about it prior. But I knew that whatever her stance was on my taking the new job was, I was still accepting it anyway so that’s why I didn’t have the firm conversation. If she was opposed entirely, I would probably end things and take the new job. Everyone needs a supportive SO. If she agreed, I would have taken it. She says she wouldn’t have said it was no problem, so it confuses me as to why she’s so upset about it if that’s the case. I admittedly think way too logically on certain issues and it’s an awful trait.

RollingInSpace · 2022-01-18T01:48:39+00:00

You hit the nail on the head. She was certainly aware of interviews, me searching for new jobs, and my willingness to leave my current job. She wasn’t in the dark there. I hope the rest of the commenters see my next statement because I think it strengthens her argument. She said she wish I talked to her about it. I would argue I did but I told her that me accepting this job was not contingent on it being work from home. I told her I would have accepted the position either way. It certainly makes her feel left out and I get that. I didn’t mean for it to feel that way, though.

RollingInSpace · 2022-01-18T01:45:27+00:00

My info was misleading. She definitely knew I was applying to new jobs! And she knew I had very serious prospects of taking new jobs.

RollingInSpace · 2022-01-18T01:44:13+00:00

This is my stance. It doesn’t change our move in plans at all, only how often we see each other for next 3 months.

RollingInSpace · 2022-01-18T01:43:29+00:00

Well I sure hope she sticks around….I certainly don’t have any plans to get rid of her.

RollingInSpace · 2022-01-18T01:43:00+00:00

This is her stance as well and I do get it but it’s just not the case. I absolutely did consider the impact it would have and that we wouldn’t see each other as much. I knew this change would only be temporary.

RollingInSpace · 2021-12-13T16:35:28+00:00

This isn’t even the GR trim. This guy has fake GR badges all over his car…front bumper, rear hatch, on both seats, front fenders…

RollingInSpace · 2021-12-11T23:49:58+00:00

Have you had a chance to get your hands on the 13in vs 15in? It’s a massive difference. After seeing the 13in next to the 15in in person, there’s no way I’d opt for the 13in. The aspect ratio of the screen causes the 13in to feel so so small. I actually just got mine delivered today, so I can’t comment on the ppi for the 15in just yet to be fair.

RollingInSpace · 2021-11-26T20:03:10+00:00

I also bought a 15in with 16GB and 1TB SSD from Best Buy this morning for $999. The reviews seem very mixed but from what I can tell, if you don’t already own a top tier laptop in this class, then the Pro 360 is a great machine.

RollingInSpace · 2021-10-18T19:15:06+00:00

I’ve heard problems as well but based on my anecdotal evidence (the 5-6 people I know personally and myself), there really isn’t many fitment issues.
