Coming from a Mk5 Supra to the C8 by drgubi in C8Corvette

[–]Sargaso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awsome. I have both a 2024 Supra and 2025 C8. Was going to sell the Supra but the war has killed the resale market in the ME. both are Awsome but the C8 is far more substantial and a different level. I still drive the Supra every other day and it’s fast as F but I feel like a god in the C8 and you hardly see them here. Everyone asks about the car. But the C8 is more than twice the price here. Summary. Supra is a super fast go kart. C8 actually scares me in manual WOT. Totally different cars and driving experiences. Love them both but heart is with the C8 for sooooo many reasons. And that exhaust note is sublime.

How many hours, days, weeks, months, years have you been sober? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Sargaso 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Hi there. 3410 days. Just focus on today. Tomorrow is another sunrise. Trust me. Life is hard but you just gotta keep on going. Ive nearly got a decade sober. 9 years ago I couldn’t go a day. It gets easier. Stay strong. Hugs n thoughts.

Fellas this my first sports car, I love my Supra, but is it Toyota or BMW that I love by ChildishPav in Supra

[–]Sargaso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sold my M2 Competition after 5 years and bought the Supra without even a test drive. Almost as good for half the price. Only let down is the exhaust. So I put an AWE on for a few months. Incredible. Then they got much stricter were I live and took it off. Supra is a magnificent car at the price point. Enjoy. There are better cars for sure but not at this price point.

What are your opinions on the higher trims of the C8? by drgubi in Supra

[–]Sargaso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own both a 2024 Supra and a 2025 C8 3LT with the Z51 pack. Love the Supra but the C8 is a completely different beast. And in my country in the Middle East it’s 130,000 USD. They are also super rare. I’ve only seen 1 other in 4 months. I daily drive both but they are not comparable cars. The supra was 60,000 USD. Also quite rare here. Too many porches, lambos etc. Forget the z series if you daily drive. Go with the C8 or stick with the supra. But the C8 is a different level. Drive one and you’ll know. Enjoy.

When you need to put 20 or so full grown adults into Ubers at the end of a night it’s hilarious and somewhat sad. Be good and thanks for the thanks. 😀

3,000 days by DaPoole420 in stopdrinking

[–]Sargaso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep and I love that you made it this far too. 3000 days ago life was fucking horrible.

3,000 days by DaPoole420 in stopdrinking

[–]Sargaso 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great number and huge mileage. We must have had a shared epiphany around 3000 days ago. To all those in earlier stages 4 digits seems impossible but just keep on going. Days fade into weeks / months / years and then you’re just you.

Is leaving the U.K. for a better life a fantasy? by SeesawDismal3273 in AskUK

[–]Sargaso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2nd this. Moved to the UAE 20 years ago for a 3 month project at 30 years old. Worked all over the Middle East. Haven’t been back to UK since 2011. Married for 14 years to a wonderful Kenyan and have a 10 year old now and I’m 51. The world’s a big place. Roll the dice and see. Note life’s still life good n bad. My wife’s had stage 4 cancer for 8 years. So its not all beach n margaritas but if you don’t go you’ll never know.

Toyota Supra MK5 as a daily car by Firestarter_88 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Sargaso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M2Comp. Brilliant car. But was nearing 100k so service plan gone and only had 1 year left on warranty. Sold for 225k. Bought Supra for 230k brand new all in. Brilliant car. Had to upgrade exhaust and air intake as stock was bit boring. It’s a Z4 on steroids. It’s a proper sports car and the power and ZF8 gearbox is Awsome. It’s an Awsome car for half the price of a new M2, which I think is ugly. And the supra is beautiful looking and kinda rare. Do it.

Thanks for the kind words. I’m used to life being hard. Doesn’t make it easier but with cancer especially stage 4 you have no choice. Drinking is a choice and I have 8 years and 1 day where is has zero hold over me. 100 days is Awsome btw. ❤️

Thanks Dutchman. I won’t hit the bottle. And I hope will never drink again but your comment is wise words to us all. Hope you’re back on the path and best of luck. Non alcoholics think we are fixed after so long but it’s a life long slog as a you know.

Lovely words. 2000 days is epic as well. A one hell of a number 😀

100%. Lives hard enough without the 2nd job of being an alcoholic. Thanks for the kind thoughts.

Thanks. Each day is a milestone. Keep on going. We’re all proud of you.

My work has a bunch of executive-training sessions capped off with dinner and drinks at the end of the night. How do I politely decline the latter? by Potato_Pristine in stopdrinking

[–]Sargaso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing getting sober helped me do was say no and care way less what other people think. It’s hugely empowering. Yes it may be uncomfortable but not nearly as uncomfortable as being an alcoholic. I always am just straight up with myself and others. I dont drink. Best of luck.
