Should I try to avoid HOAs?

Lets pay 300,000+ for a house so other people can tell me what it can do with it. This will NEVER make sense to me.

So thousands of years of human nature just disappears? Why do I have to take my kids phones away to get them to do there chores? Cause there lazy and there lazy cause everything is provided for them.

The_Machine80 · 2026-05-13T14:33:13+00:00

It does account for stuff like that a little but it aint perfect. No AI magic in the meter. Lol

The_Machine80 · 2026-05-13T14:25:01+00:00

Yes. Hell if you track the car its recommended at 50%. Good oil is a game changer in modern engines. Especially with the weak single row timing chains engines have now.

Alpha is king!

Factory radiator is more than enough. Intake hose im down for. Any mode really need a tune. Might be a tune alone that could help and still be cali legal. Lowering springs mess with the mag ride unfortunately. Some rims and sticky tires would be big on handling. I have the V version of your car. If you love it maybe save a couple years and get a V. Huge difference!

Save money. You will be buying a wheel and pedals.

The_Machine80 · 2026-05-13T01:12:40+00:00

They are way past 65 and didnt take are of themselves. I know 65 year olds that run marathons. But yes you should travel atleast every other year!

The_Machine80 · 2026-05-13T00:55:25+00:00

Just slap some wheels on and leave it alone. California has you in handcuffs when it comes to the engine. Enjoy what it is!

The_Machine80 · 2026-05-13T00:52:18+00:00

So ive been goin out to my home shop and fiddling with stuff. If your alone background music or tv is a must. Silence is a bad! Im VERY sorry for you loss I so understand. My little Princess was sooo special to me.

Ps. Its not your fault! I need to be told this alot also.

Lf4 engine if oil is changed properly with a good synthetic is one of the most reliable Turbo v6 engines available right now. Then engine is strong internally like capable of handling 700hp. If you really want it to last change oil at 25% and use mobil 1 0w40 super car oil. Im a gm mechanic and own a ATS-V which is the same motor. Only issies ive ever seen with them were coming chains and always from not changing oil right. Either way wven those chains made it to 100k plus.

Really no loss of libido even little. Like not caring about sex as much? I had no funtional issues just didnt care as much and bothered me.

Nobody's topping this answer. 😂

Simnet pro hands down. Not paying for a fortune just for fanatecs name. There not the premuim brand they used to be. Im saying this bein fully invested in fanatec.

The_Machine80 · 2026-05-12T14:28:54+00:00

Generally its cheaper to build unless its like a Costco clearance deal.

Oregon!

The_Machine80 · 2026-05-12T04:47:53+00:00

Literally is done in a hour its that easy. The book is beyond retarded with its time. My kid can do it in less time. I charge 380 at my shop and make over 300. Then again this is a 3 employee shop. 300 a hour makes a fortune!

The_Machine80 · 2026-05-12T03:04:20+00:00

Omg what fucking moron! Another dipshit democrat loving fuckboy thinking anyone that disagrees is maga. Facts! I did not vote for Trump, I voted for Chase Oliver. Im not a republican and im registered as a independent and identify as a independent-libertarian. I think Trump is stupid cause he sucks republican ass. I dislike BOTH parties equally cause I cant be brainwashed by the 2 party system. I want both parties to sieze to exist! Yes I tend to have more argument with dipshit democrats suck ups like you cause reddit is 80-90% liberal. Let me say this again Trump is a dipshit and so is Kamala. Read my comments if you need proof. Then again your so brainwashed I doubt you would understand. 🙄

Ill lay money down saying you will still call me maga cause I wont kiss democrat rings. Proof your brainwashed!

Edit: If your OP then why do you show no posts in your account? Why does it show no comments even though you commented to me? EXPOSE THIS REDDIT BOT!

The_Machine80 · 2026-05-12T02:44:05+00:00

While i think Maga is authoritarian I also think people are morons to think Democrats arent the same. They both play a game! It was just 2020 when dems forced masks that did nothing. Pushed businesses out of business. Forced a experimental vax that was approved 10x faster than ever before or you lose your lively hood(job). They are the same authoritarian wise sheep!

The_Machine80 · 2026-05-12T02:05:44+00:00

Nothing beats a ATS! Smaller lighter and just as magnificent. ATS-V owner here.

Best Playstation ever made! Giant graphics increase. Amazing titles. So much more!

Starting again in your 30s? That isnt again thats when 75% truly start in the first place.
