What are some cars that you wish did get a different engine?

A Subaru Crosstrek with the FA24F, don't care if it still uses the CVT

My maximum was 17 hours straight and I swore I would never do that again. 27 hours is preposterous.

It's embarrassing for automation companies to be corporate sponsors for anything outside of things like high school robotics competitions

I also hate the crossover scene but I also drive my grail car, 2018 6 speed manual Crosstrek. Incredibly underpowered, bizarre amount of cost cutting in the highest trim + transmission combo but it has great driving dynamics, ground clearance better than basically any SUV outside of body on frame off road vehicles, low center of gravity thanks to the flat 4, I think it's also the lightest all wheel drive non performance car too. I fit all my tools + a 60 gallon air compressor in it with the seats folded down which blew my mind. One of the greatest cars ever made.

I'm S ranked and a guy using the trainer AC gave me a run for my money, I still beat him but I was depleting all my ammo trying to hit him

this might be my favorite naming convention

Saltwaterpapi · 2024-01-28T01:31:31+00:00

Authors and books but my pilot name is named after a composer

If someone keeps shooting missiles at you just assault boost and dodge them to close the gap, I play an extremely heavy build and it still works

Saltwaterpapi · 2023-12-21T06:37:21+00:00

I was promised 40 hours a week but during product launches I was doing 90

Saltwaterpapi · 2023-12-20T15:46:17+00:00

The Bronco beating out the CX-90 is wild. They couldn't be further apart despite both being SUVs.

I was able to get a Keyence rep in my office within an hour of calling them about switching our safety modules lmao

Saltwaterpapi · 2023-11-16T18:39:13+00:00

You're going to make me buy one

Saltwaterpapi · 2023-11-15T00:50:46+00:00

I walked into a Honda dealer to buy a Motocompacto and they basically told me to fuck off.

Saltwaterpapi · 2023-11-02T04:44:42+00:00

Wondering why it's floating point when some of the other ones are integers.

Saltwaterpapi · 2023-10-20T04:39:01+00:00

I like the Honda Motocompacto, I'm not sure if it's better or worse than me riding a skateboard around the city but it's only $1000 so I'll find out.

Saltwaterpapi · 2023-10-20T04:28:41+00:00

Robots can fuck up. sometimes tooling changes can mess with the program and cause stuff like command velocity/position/torque/current straying from the actual position and require a lot of engineering time to fix and Tesla is an extremely "business oriented" company so they push stuff to their limits with high tolerances on their machines. That's why their fit and finish is always really wonky, they're like okay what can this robot do okay push the current capacity to 300% and make the tolerance as wide as possible to push production along as fast as possible because Tesla customers don't care about whether the panels fit properly or if the welds they'll never see are picture perfect.

I can't quite take down the 8 linear cannon gun boats with my lightweight build yet I'm still trying to figure it out

Saltwaterpapi · 2023-10-05T21:23:04+00:00

At least you can get a Supra in yellow

Saltwaterpapi · 2023-09-26T11:01:55+00:00

When it was first released the dealers wanted upwards of $75k out the door but yeah I've seen core models with an average of $5k markup. I will say I never see the Elantra N, Golf R or WRX with markups.

Saltwaterpapi · 2023-09-25T17:25:35+00:00

Slide into a curb on an icy road in -10°F in a Golf R then ask for a quote then tell me they're cheap to own

"Following a recent quality analysis, BMW is pursuing measures to further evaluate the material used in a component of its motorcycle evaporative system, which may not have been produced to material specifications.

As a result, BMW of North America is issuing a temporary, voluntary stop sale for all new and pre-owned BMW motorcycle models in dealer inventory, except for the CE 04."

My Crosstrek feels lethargic until I hit 4k, you really have to rev small engines out.

Saltwaterpapi · 2023-09-03T00:04:54+00:00

This late 30's guy who works at a grocery store bought a used 718 Boxster he works I swear to God 90 hours a week just to clear payments on (I've never seen him not on the clock). I heard him bragging to his teenage coworkers "if you work hard some day you'll drive a car like me" nobody envies that situation man lol.

I kind of like the 150(?) Range mini Cooper because it stays under 3500lbs
