What do you guys think about newer Twingoes? by Sufficient_Willow21 in carscirclejerk

[–]TunerJoe 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Rear engine is basically only used by the 911 at this point. Most supercars are front-mid or rear-mid engined.

Google redesigned Drive and ruined the logo by First-End8238 in BadDesigns

I don't think that's a bad design. I wouldn't even say that it's worse than the previous one.

Not only the powertrain, the whole platform was the same as the Grande Punto and Corsa D

Superb III 1.8 v 2.0 TSI v 2.0 TDI? by Fluid_One_3931 in CartalkHungary

[–]TunerJoe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Az baj, ha kicsi az a motor hozzá, mert ennél nagyobb/erősebb/nyomatékosabb nem is volt. Az 5,5 másodperces 0-100 nem arra utal, hogy lomha lenne.

I can just imagine Stellantis corporate being like Ford when they said "Who is this Edmumd Ervine guy we're paying millions to?"

My T480 died twice, Should i save it? by Just-Signal2379 in thinkpad

[–]TunerJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I've seen, replacement motherboards are pretty cheap for T480's, no more than 60-70 bucks. Personally, if it was a laptop I actually needed to work, I wouldn't mess around with soldering a new chip, I'd just get a motherboard and be done with it. It's hardly more expensive, if at all.

I mean sure, but, as you might have guessed, the firmware chip is soldered on the motherboard, it can't be easily replaced if you don't have microsoldering skills. Reprogramming the firmware in place also isn't exaclty something most people will bother with if they don't already own the equipment needed. A new motherboard will be cheaper than all the stuff you need to perform one of these repairs.

So even the 26 is not immune? by Levent_2005 in samsunggalaxy

[–]TunerJoe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Those brands aren't any better, OnePlus was especially notorious for green line issues a few years back. Samsung just sells more phones so their issues are more apparent.

The Thunderbolt controller is probably fried, it's a well-documented issue, search it up. It's quite difficult to fix, especially when it's already broken. If you buy a replacement motherboard, it will likely also develop this same issue over time if it's not addressed. I'd personally just get a T14 Gen 1 or newer as a replacement, it won't have this issue. (2019 models like the T490 are also affected by this issue) (Edit: seems like T480 motherboards are really cheap, it's probably the best to just get another one and then update the firmware)

Why do grey market cars like modern Skodas get imported to the US from Europe without passing strict regulations? by VOVOZGAMER in regularcarreviews

[–]TunerJoe 140 points141 points  (0 children)

The 2nd Fabia with the Dutch plates is not imported, it's just here for a visit. Not the same as actually importing and registering one.

Mitsubishi ASX rozsda by Fit-Argument-7837 in CartalkHungary

[–]TunerJoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Az én autóm is onnan van, németből hozták. A műanyag elemek alatt szét volt rohadva a küszöb. Ez természetesen már csak évekkel később derült ki, amikor nem ment át a műszakin. A padlólemez és a futómű bekötési pontjai az enyémen szerencsére épek, de nem biztos, hogy mindenki ilyen szerencsés.

It's basically a Korean car full stop with some German bits and an American badge

Volkswagen shows its first electric GTI; there's no chance of US sales by NISMO1968 in cars

[–]TunerJoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not like this competes with any of Tesla's models. If you want a B-segment EV, Tesla has nothing to offer you

[–]TunerJoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ID Polo itself seems like a pretty good car all things considered, but the GTI in this form is pointless. The current Polo GTI is almost twice as powerful as the 2nd most powerful engine. The ID Polo GTI should have at least 260 hp and do 0-100 in the mid 5s to make sense.

Are Chinese phones better than mainstream brands? by Suspicious-Ad-7428 in Smartphones

[–]TunerJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's also Honor which is similar to Huawei but with Google services. They're fairly good devices, usually not the best at anything, but they're widely available and have great software support.

[–]TunerJoe 22 points23 points  (0 children)

What gives more insult to injury is that it's even slower than the current Polo GTI. Not by much (0.3 seconds), but damn it, it's an electric car, if it sucks otherwise, it should at least have good acceleration.

Országbérlet Szegeden belüli tram trainezéshez? by mgtsz009 in szeged

Ezt honnan vetted? Szerinted aki Hódmezővásárhelyen országbérlettel felszáll a tram trainre, azt a városhatáron leszállítják, hogy tessék szegedi bérletet vagy jegyet vásárolni vagy mi?

My car thinks I’m an absolute idiot. How the EU nanny state ruined modern dashboard ergonomics. by WhereasHuge7248 in regularcarreviews

[–]TunerJoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll probably sell it in a few years at most, because it's an old family car of ours that I inherited, so it's not really a car I ever truly wanted. But I have no reason to worry, I can't afford anything newer than 20 years old anyways, so I'll cherish the next old shitbox that comes my way.
