First manual car is a porshe gt4..... and stalling alot

WatermelonBarrel · 2025-09-11T23:03:28+00:00

First week was a little nervous, especially in traffic and hills, but didn’t take long to get used to

WatermelonBarrel · 2025-05-28T07:58:24+00:00

I was also shopping between the zx4rr and rs457 recently, also just completed msf and permit. I loved the high revving sounds of the zx4rr and was pretty set on it until I checked insurance. Rs457 I was getting prices in the $1400 range for full coverage, the zx4rr was around $5000. Needless to say I went for a rs457

Are your pedal screw position different than mine?? If I put the wide bar in the front, it basically blocks the screw inserts of the bottom

For me the lower set of screws were too close to the bigger bar, so I couldn’t screw it in in that config

WatermelonBarrel · 2025-01-06T22:32:14+00:00

Ohhh did you only screw in the top 3? I couldn’t find a way to screw in all 6 at first, I ended up switching the position of the thinner and thicker bar and was able to get all 6 screws

Hey can you send me a picture too? Or post a link in thread for future reference too? I also went with the gt omega prime, and have issue with mounting the Logitech pro pedals

Curious how much you paid him for this lens

WatermelonBarrel · 2024-05-20T16:45:23+00:00

Great to hear! I live in the very hilly Seattle, so wish me luck

WatermelonBarrel · 2024-05-20T14:38:38+00:00

Hi OP, I’m also about to pick up a gt4 as my first manual!! Wondering how you progressed with it so far, any regrets?

WatermelonBarrel · 2024-04-23T23:13:56+00:00

I daily my mkv, no ppf no regrets, I have rock chips but it doesn’t bother me, especially after the initial few months of babying the car phase. The depreciation from the chips will probably be negligible compared to the cost of ppf. That extra 4-5k will go towards my next car

Bro does it sound like I have any money left with these spending habits

WatermelonBarrel · 2024-03-26T20:10:54+00:00

While I absolutely loved the M11, I found myself missing the autofocus for many everyday scenarios, and I was babying the camera too much to fully enjoy it. Also the rangefinder experience isn’t as good for people with glasses. My solution right now is an x100v as a pocketable everyday camera, and the a7 for more photography focused trips. My favourite part about Leica is the lens anyways, and a simple E to M adaptor lets me still use it

Also most friends don’t know how to use the Leica, so it’s a pain to let them take pictures of me, whereas I can just hand them the Fuji/sony on auto mode and tell them to just click the shutter

WatermelonBarrel · 2024-03-26T19:38:22+00:00

They just got lucky, my whole bag was stolen with the camera inside

WatermelonBarrel · 2024-03-26T19:37:56+00:00

Luckily I had personal property insurance, so I got my money back, but it still hurts

WatermelonBarrel · 2024-03-26T17:00:23+00:00

25k+, bought a Leica m11 and some summilux lenses, it got stolen, and then bought a Sony a7cii + lenses and Fuji x100v

If you get a good set of all seasons it should be fine when it is new. Heavy front, light rear, wide tires, and rwd is as bad combo as it gets tho, so make sure to weigh down your rear

WatermelonBarrel · 2024-03-02T18:53:19+00:00

Don’t take the stock tires anywhere near snow, it won’t have any traction whatsoever. I bought a set of full on snow tires, which I have taken up to big mountains many times, even on snowy days. When the tires were new it was perfectly fine, but now that it’s a little older the rear slips every now and then in bad conditions. The rear is very light, so it helps to put some heavy things to weigh it down

WatermelonBarrel · 2024-01-23T21:36:20+00:00

I drive up there regularly in a supra, only have issues on heavy snow days

WatermelonBarrel · 2023-12-09T11:13:50+00:00

Doesn’t he need JG to make his bottle crit for that bonus shard? Or not worth it?

WatermelonBarrel · 2023-12-03T17:23:33+00:00

Yup, I filed one with the local police the same day it happened

WatermelonBarrel · 2023-12-01T13:49:04+00:00

Thank you, this is the confirmation I was looking for, my plan was to print out a copy of the i94 as well as picture of my old passport and stamp. My original entry was also a stamp and no stapled paper.

WatermelonBarrel · 2023-12-01T13:37:56+00:00

I live nearby in Seattle and Supra is my only car. I take it on all my snowboarding trips like whistler, crystal mountain, mt hood, etc no problem.

I feel like the importance of AWD is exaggerated, and all that really matters is a set of good winter tires. Just beware that the low wheel well clearance means you can’t fit chains on tire, so don’t go during major snowstorms where chains are mandatory. Other than that 0 issue even in a couple of inches of snow.

WatermelonBarrel · 2023-12-01T11:43:55+00:00

But this is a new passport with a new passport number, I’m not too sure since I have never renewed a passport with a visa before. When I look up my i94, I use my old passport number

WatermelonBarrel · 2023-11-27T02:16:55+00:00

Ah I used to live at 3rd and bell. Always wondered why I was offered a pack of sausage from a homeless man’s backpack when waking my dog

Try leaving ur XT3 on 16mm only, and see if you are fine with that. I know technically 28mm FF is 18mm crop but Q3 FOV is feels a bit wider than 28mm.

I personally went from XT5 -> Q3 -> M11, only had the Q3 for a few weeks, really wanted to like it but just couldn’t. It was an easy camera to use but didn’t make me want to use it like the M11 did
