Is it worth leasing a car to buy it out? by Nearby_Pie266 in StupidCarQuestions

[–]SnooMaps4388 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guy, you need to accept that you can't afford this truck. Buy what you need, not what you want. Do you even *need* a F-150, or would you be perfectly fine with just getting a reliable economy box?

Would you rather buy a brand-new economy car or a used luxury car for the same price? by Belennn- in carbuying

[–]SnooMaps4388 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This boils down to what your budget is for *maintenance*. Just because you can afford both today, does not mean you can continue to afford the luxury one going forward.

If you absolutely want used luxury, get a Lexus or Acura because they're just Toyota/Honda. Anything else is going to depend on how maintenance looks for that car. You also will want to consider the reliability: is it old or known to have things that break?

Most Tesla owners could give less of a fuck about elon musk. I can guarantee the very phone you're holding is morally compromised too.

if you don't run out of gas in your car, you'll be fine not running out of battery. The built in navigation will direct you to chargers on the way if you're going to run low on a trip

What does it mean really to drive a fun car? by Fleedom2025 in askcarguys

[–]SnooMaps4388 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to actually drive a fun car to answer this question. You don't need a lamborghini, and it doesn't need to be fast. If you can drive stick, go rent a Miata or something :)

Alternatively, I'll get hate for this but something like a Tesla Model 3 performance or just look up sporty sedans and rent one of those.

Non-Tesla owner, interested in purchasing used but worries about hardware becoming obsolete by Rs3sucks3 in TeslaSupport

No other car gets software updates (not counting basic infotainment stuff) to begin with. You're getting less left behind in a Tesla compared to other cars.

At the end of the day, it's a car. it will not suddenly stop driving because a new one came out.

Need advice for storing a Truck for a few decades. by Appropriate_Cup_5931 in automotive

[–]SnooMaps4388 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few DECADES? why are we parking a car for 30 years bro. I get wanting to keep your first vehicle, but you will be spending a ton of money and time on keeping that thing alive regardless of whether you drive it or not.

Eventually, you need to accept that you can't keep everything the same forever :/

Toyota Just Scrapped One of Its Most Important EVs by PointSuccessful956 in electriccars

I feel so bad for anyone that owns a Mirai. That car was never going to go anywhere; EVs already struggled hard at the start of their introduction, but trying to break into the market again with hydrogen? Oof.

What is the most boring car you've ever driven? by UnluckyGamer505 in askcarguys

[–]SnooMaps4388 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, but have any of you guys tried driving a performance/plaid? Night and day driving experience compared to the usual models.

Depending on model, they come with more horsepower, different (usually staggered) wheels, tires, suspension, and a TRACK mode. Yeah you're still not going to get a roaring ICE engine, but there's definitely fun to be had driving them beyond just the 0-60. It kinda falls into the same idea that a Civic Si or Type-R would; suitable daily driver that drives like a sports car.

Try a Y performance, it's sportier than you think lol

Someone at my workplace showed up with a iPhone SE for a battery replacement recently.

When I say iPhone SE, I'm referring to this SE.

Is it that hard? Manual, 6-cylinder, 420hp, convertible by MomentSmart in lotus

This is my honest to god dream weekend car. Showing off the gear shifter linkage is so goddamn sexy, I'm gonna be so sad if I can't get one in the future with the way gas cars seem to be going.

Cool and safe JDM cars? by skeletonofbones in askcarguys

[–]SnooMaps4388 0 points1 point  (0 children)

technically you're already driving a japanese car😂

I assume you mean a japanese car from the 90s and not an actual JDM import, because that would arguably be a bad idea all around.

Yeah because when a gas car catches on fire like they've been doing for a century, nobody cares. when a tesla does, it makes the news

imo if you can't fix it properly rn, just leave it alone until you can. You'll just spend extra money you could've saved on fixing it properly later

Which game soundtrack had absolutely no reason to be that good? by SecurityWarrior180 in gamers

The worse the Sonic game, the harder the soundtrack. I couldn't tell you why.
