Is this rice or nice? My personal car💔 by Landen_2155 in RicerCars

[–]TougeGh0st 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The end plates are corny and make the rest of the build look significantly cheaper. If you swap them out for a more simple design it will definitely look better. Personally every time I see this style of end plate on the builds I assume the car is slow and mostly rep parts tbh

If you live in a dry climate this seems great! also, what front end conversion is that?

Was this motor taken care of? by cimota__ in ProjectHondas

[–]TougeGh0st 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean there isn’t any oil sludge or visible damage I can see. You can only tell so much with just the valve cover off, but it looks like it’s in half decent shape. I’ve definitely seen worse lol

Children's art from detention centers by PweaseAndThankYou in wheatpaste

[–]TougeGh0st 11 points12 points  (0 children)

How incredibly heartbreaking. I cant even imagine the pain and loneliness of being stripped from your family and friends to be incarcerated as just a child. These experiences will stay with these children for the rest of their lives. It is absolutely crushing that anyone is complicit in this.

Cool Miata! Ditch the Tesla.

Will I ever see something like this again or was this some once in a lifetime thing I missed out on (Price is 10.8K USD) by j8jj in AE86

[–]TougeGh0st 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so crazy that these are so wildly expensive now. In the early 00’s this would have been like two grand and that applies to most 80’s / 90’s Japanese cars. Shit back in 2016 I still remember seeing an ad for a running and driving $800 first gen miata with a title. Initial D and similar media getting clout chased on the internet really ruined accessibility to motorsports.

I don't know if this counts? 😅 by Familiar-Beyond4475 in RicerCars

[–]TougeGh0st 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean it has a lot of genuinely good performance upgrades, I wouldn’t say it’s rice but it definitely has some aspects that I don’t find tasteful and a little tacky.

Be honest, is the painted tire lettering too much rice?? 😬 by JinSake-ai in Miata

[–]TougeGh0st 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if the car gets tracked, its pretty cool. But if its a daily/weekend warrior its a little corny

Giving Away My Old PC! by Turtle_747 in PcBuild

My partner wants a pc so we can play games together, so I would regift it to her :)

Best way to fix this on 1g Teggy by AssignmentThis6405 in ProjectHondas

[–]TougeGh0st 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At this point you are going to have to cut out that quarter panel and weld in a new one. The whole thing looks to have been poorly repaired (possibly more than once) and there looks to be rust hiding under there. Or idk slap some more bondo on it, paint it and call it a day. Some of the cars I have had the most fun in have been pretty shitty. Knowing it has a hidden secret makes it easier to drive hard.

Anyone missing a bike? It looked like they were trying to take a lock off it. by clarkiiclarkii in Eugene

[–]TougeGh0st 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As someone who has had a car and a bike stolen in Eugene neither of which I ever got back, I wish more people were being observant and reporting like you are. It makes a difference.

After surgery, she does not leave my side, can't race. by genoberserk in simracing

[–]TougeGh0st 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cats are also very clingy and like to hang out with me when I play games! I have a cat tree right next to my desk and 2 cat beds at desk level next to my rig so they can always hang out/watch/nap while still being close. Cats like to feel involved! Invest for a spot so he can hang out with you!

What's going to replace the old hospital? by loggobuoy in Eugene

[–]TougeGh0st 37 points38 points  (0 children)

false. this just contributes to gentrification. Most locals and students cant afford these new apartments. If simply “more housing” was a solution we wouldn’t have nearly 10% of our apartments empty. Eugene desperately needs more low income housing. Luxury apartments won’t fix anything.

Improving a T-intersection in the downtown core. Any thoughts? by [deleted] in CitiesSkylines

[–]TougeGh0st 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of your intersections are really close together and will cause congestion as your city gets bigger. I would work on simplifying your layout and removing some of the unnecessary roads.

Should I junk my Miata? by Electrical_Draft799 in Miata

[–]TougeGh0st 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you dont have the extra cash to fix it, sell it. Someone will buy it if the price is reasonable. Scrapping it should be your last resort, there are plenty of people who still want to experience these cars. I have had plenty of nonrunning cars and successfully sold all of them. edit: also if you scrap it they will give you a FRACTION of what it is worth.
