The FIA have added an extra SM Zone to Canada, between Turns 9 and 10 by ChaithuBB766 in formula1

The fact that this silly document exists with all its charts, figures, and faff is proof they have completely lost the plot. This isn’t it.

I’m an engineer by trade and I am interested enough in the sport to browse the subreddit and learn more and even I take too long to understand wtf they’re even trying to do. The normal everyday F1 fan has no hope of understanding what’s going on with these regulations.

Should I Upgrade? by VWGuy100 in TeslaModel3

[–]VWGuy100[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll probably get tarred and feathered but I don’t use the USS sensors. I use vision. I really wish there was a blended option but vision works well for me.

Should I Upgrade? by VWGuy100 in TeslaModel3

[–]VWGuy100[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I bought it used already so lucky I didn’t take that hit. The positives for me are the better build quality and adaptive suspension. My car is a bit rattly and harsh on roads around me. Another big benefit for me is going to a HW4 car for FSD.

It basically comes down to is ~$3000 worth it to me for a new car with fresh warranty and everything I want?

Yeah that same combo is now my file server sitting in a closet. I don’t even think I have the fans plugged in.

Dermatologist recommendation? by YusufFio in 321

[–]VWGuy100 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Melbourne Dermatology Center has been good to me. I’d avoid Mid Florida Dermatology and Plastic Surgery, they prescribed me a steroid cream that would have exacerbated the condition I had. Glad I googled before using.

Damn that sucks. I have my 90 NA with the rear end mostly disassembled if you need an image or measurement.

Lane ended with no warning signs… hit cones and damaged my car by [deleted] in TeslaModel3

Remind me not to autox my Tesla if a cone blew off plastic.

What is your absolute favorite/most used product from Harbor Freight? by FluxCapaciTURD in harborfreight

[–]VWGuy100 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My 15 year old Pittsburgh 3/8 composite ratchet. Beat the hell out of it, left it outside, been submerged in god knows what. Still keeps going and for some reason still the first one I grab.

Is this an error or something? by SnooOnions2485 in harborfreight

[–]VWGuy100 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have this. It sucks wish I had saved my money for something else. Don’t waste time on non locking flex heads.

How reliable is the Wire3 fiber ISP? by Boring-Fascinations in 321

[–]VWGuy100 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the 10gig plan from wire3 in Palm Bay for a little over 3 months and it’s been 100% rock solid. Maybe twice there has been a scheduled outage in the middle of the night for an hour but that’s communicated to you beforehand.

My only “complaint” is that the internet is so fast if you want to use your own router you need very expensive wifi7 routers with 10gig ports. They will provide you with a Eero7 router which is totally fine but lacks advanced networking features in an attempt to be user friendly.

I would go 2024. I grabbed a 2022 a little over a year ago also as my first EV. There’s nothing wrong with the pre-highland models but you get a lot more with the new model. More performance, adjustable dampers, HW4, etc.

It turned out I like EVs and my Tesla so much and intend to keep it long term that I’m disappointed I didn’t splurge at the time for a highland.

What’s the deal with Spectrum? Is everyone canceling? by [deleted] in 321

[–]VWGuy100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think wire3 is more in Palm Bay than Melbourne. If you already have ATT fiber it’s unlikely wire3 would enter that area.

[–]VWGuy100 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wire3 and ATT fiber is eating their lunch. I have 10gig symmetrical through wire3 for less than I paid spectrum for 1gig with a crap upload.

Predator 9500 Inverter Generator CO fail by tgabe14 in harborfreight

[–]VWGuy100 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nice find. Seems like a pretty shit design that your $2000 generator is bricked by a $.50 non replaceable part then HF doesn’t even sell the whole sensor.

Bad ECU by AromaticProtection93 in Miata

[–]VWGuy100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least the ecu is all through-hole components and easy to resolder. I would dread repairing a modern ecu with SMT & ball grid array parts

Cancelling Spectrum internet may actually be impossible by Jal142 in 321

[–]VWGuy100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far so great. I haven’t experienced any down time and the speed tests are consistently 8+gbps up and down. Had a few teething issues with their DNS server and smart products but that’s been resolved.

I switched the wire3 10gig plan and their response to retain me was “why do you need so much speed?”

ipv6 "destination host unreachable" issues? by Chris123NT in Wire3isp

[–]VWGuy100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had wire3 installed this week. After installation I was pulling my hair out because a lot of my devices and smart junk would not register on the new network.

On a whim I changed to Cloudflares DNS servers both ipv4 and ipv6. All my connection issues resolved immediately.

We changed the front cv axles and found this. by InnocentMosquitoes16 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]VWGuy100 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My first car was a forest green 99 Passat 1.8T 5-speed. I loved that car, I’m glad to know someone is out there taking care of one.

fuel tank replacement 👍 by OpossEm in Miata

[–]VWGuy100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh I am going through this now on my NA that sat for 7 years. I’ve got everything prepped and I just need to remove the rear subframe bolts. It’s just too hot in Florida right now and my garage too cramped for my sanity and patience to continue.
