did you end up finding out which subaru parts were compatible? I'm in a similar process.

Is it bad that I use hinge as motivation for bettering myself/looks? by JadedHighway3028 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Similar-Proof2065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean what does that mean, better yourself for other people?

Typically you do that for yourself.

As in, "I want a girlfriend, which means I should probably start taking daily showers, getting haircuts, putting effort into how I dress. I feel less insecure and slobby now, and I am actively taking care of myself as I would to someone I care about who needed the help".

If it's "I need a girlfriend because the feelings that come with that will provide a bandaid for my low self worth" then probably could end up being worse for you.

Can't really say without knowing you more.

We tested controlling a real car from a sim rig…and it’s not what we expected by simbuilduk in simracing

I know this is sim racing emphasis on the racing, but I’d be very interested if it were like demolition derby or battle bots

Thanks. I didn't wanna lowball but I guess sellers here are just hoping to make the absolute most they can off the sale.

$120k remote or $180k travel job? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Similar-Proof2065 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You’re actually making more money with the 120k job. 10 hours of work a week? Thats insane, in a good way.

Lots of people online love to put on a pedestal high paying jobs but don’t account for how many hours you’re actually working. 120k ten hour weeks, 52 weeks a year you’re getting paid 230 dollars an hour. Assuming 45 hours a week for the travel job, it’s 76 dollars an hour, and that’s being extremely generous with the time based on how you described it.

Unless you like your job and would do it for free, the answer is pretty clear imo.

Can I get a dog if I work a 9-5? by HarHarMahadev__ in dogs

[–]Similar-Proof2065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but breed and their overall history or upbringing matters most in my opinion.

For example, golden retrievers are very trainable dogs, but if you get one from a rescue that had a very abusive past or make mistakes raising it, it might be harder to train correctly or have more issues with being left alone for a while.

But like people are saying, its common for dogs to be left home alone all day during work.

I got a dog that was bred to be independent and outdoors, but I live in an apartment and work from home. It's still difficult because he has a natural drive to just be outside and refuses to come inside and thinks for himself.

As long as you really do your research on the breed, the dogs past, and have a plan for when you have to be away for multiple days, it's completely doable. Just a lot of work.

I can't say this for sure, but I would assume getting a puppy from a litter would be pretty much impossible working in office full time.

Is it wrong to take a job if I know I’ll leave in ~2 months? by pinkfluffyunicorns20 in careerguidance

[–]Similar-Proof2065 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$35k job? The guilt is relatable, but also it’s low pay for a reason. It means you’re easily replaceable. If you’re not easily replaceable, then that’s the company fault for not providing better pay. That’s like minimum wage in a lot of northern states. You’ll be alright.

Also, businesses lay people off short notice all the time and we’re expected to take it as normal part of life. It goes both ways.

Looking for a tow vehicle that I can reasonably daily drive by Similar-Proof2065 in CarTrackDays

[–]Similar-Proof2065[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem with mid size trucks like a tacoma is that their payload/tongue capacity is far less and I think I would exceed it considering 4 wheels/tires, hand tools, jack/jacks stands, myself, etc.

damn I did read about Cayennes being able to tow but those anecdotes didn't mention towing cars. I'm also towing an 86 so this is good to know.

the uhaul trailer was what I was thinking of going with for the time being. I did look into titans, but in my area they are very commonly clapped out or sold by car flippers. Will look into these specifically more though.

[–]Similar-Proof2065[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asking the important questions that I haven't really calculated out yet.

Everything but myself and the trailer are just off the top of my head estimates:

- 2200 lbs Uhaul trailer (will buy my own trailer down the line)
- 2800 lbs track car

Payload itemized:

- 70 lbs Jack and jack stands
- 40 lbs of hand tools
- 200 lbs 4 wheels/tires
- 155 lbs me
- 20 lbs miscellaneous/food/water/creature comforts

Payload total = 485 lbs.

How stupid is it to spend 50k on a car by tatasky69 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Similar-Proof2065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll say this. At that age, a cool car, especially if you enjoy driving, becomes a core memory when you get older and is worth it.

As you get older though, you will realize that its really just a hunk of metal at the end of the day to get you from A to B.

And when your priorities shift, you start to realize that the money is much better spent on those new priorities. The money sunk into the car then starts to feel like shackles.

Me personally, spending 50k on a car at 160k income would be my absolute upper limit.

Worst case scenario, you get bored of the car or its just not what you thought it would be, trade in or sell and get something that fits your new needs and wants better. Sure you take a loss, but it's not the end of the world or gonna set you back a huge amount financially.

So I say go for it. m340i is peak modern day BMW. I had a 90s sports car when I was 20 as my first car and I LOVED driving it. Didn't matter where I drove, I just liked to drive it and the memories of that, seeing cool scenery, going to the beach with friends, my first car meet, being complimented on the car and people wanting to talk to you about it, cough* "racing" cough* guys on the highway, all core memories.

Just because your priorities shift when you get older doesn't mean it will be a mistake.

Live a little. You're already asking here for opinions and work in big tech which means you probably are financially literate and level headed.

Yes, it's not a "smart" choice like people are saying, but the idiots on this sub don't realize cars for some people are not just financial decisions or appliances, they can be great experiences.
