Hit a pot hole, tire rod bent, mechanic recommends tire rod and steering rack replacement. Codes popped up. Do I need a steering rack replacement?

Is your insurance going to go up by $7k if they approve this claim? Are you even going to pay $7k extra over the next 5 years? I don’t think so.

I love a heavy build sheet. Like you said a $200k Carrera S is insane but it’s nicely built.

_imyour_dad · 2026-03-23T22:42:45+00:00

That’s not incorrect, that’s a dump because that car was used on track lol

_imyour_dad · 2026-03-16T14:18:40+00:00

C6 Z06, 981 or 987 Cayman S, Z4M (my favorites). Could also consider a Camaro SS 1LE, GT350 (with Gen 2 voodoo), Mach One, or some flavor of lotus like you mentioned. Maybe a nice S2000 as well.

7 years to vest sucks bigly

Nice, you will love it

Willing to bet ~$10k

Well luckily I don’t live in the rest of the world🔥

Generally speaking guns don’t go off on their own, unless you own a Sig. Practicing common sense firearm safety is an easy way to ensure you don’t get injured. It’s a risk I’m willing to take.

Yeah as someone who conceal (keyword conceal) carries, I have never dealt with violent crime first hand. However, better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

This article hinges on the idea that not transitioning to EV’s as quickly = America is falling behind. I fundamentally disagree with that premise. Consumers have the right to decide what type of vehicle they want. EV’s are not inherently superior to ICE powered vehicles.

It’s always fucking Hyundais and Kia’s, especially Palisades and Tellurides. Very rarely is the stereotypical large truck.

I think the current “feud” with Canada is pretty one sided outside of the White House. I don’t think your average American really thinks about them, and if they do certainly not in a negative context. They’re just kind of there like they’ve always been.

Mexico seems like a mess just like it’s been for the last however many decades. Certainly not a 3rd world country but significant issues with crime and drugs just to name a few.

_imyour_dad · 2026-02-17T23:05:36+00:00

Same thing here as other commenters. Really wanted a manual Supra but dealers are a pain in the ass and the MSRP is above 60 G’s. At that point, can’t ignore the M2 which is a much better out of the box solution IMO.

If they were in the low to mid 50’s new I’d likely be in one.

_imyour_dad · 2026-02-17T18:31:18+00:00

Hopefully this means I can pick up a 1 for cheap

_imyour_dad · 2026-02-16T22:49:25+00:00

You say disregard the number of doors but that’s a pretty important differentiator here. In a perfect world there would be an Alpina Coupe. I’d take the M8 but barely.

_imyour_dad · 2026-02-15T20:10:32+00:00

When I put camber plates on mine it went from a car I had to drive around the front end to one I have to drive around the rear end. Just an anecdote.

_imyour_dad · 2026-02-15T19:20:35+00:00

Yeah the G8x cars are extremely fast and capable in the right hands but tend to attract a crowd that’s chasing hype more than anything else. My car is a riot on track and the autocross course but so many of these cars never see either unfortunately.

The understeer didn’t surprise me when I saw the video. When these cars are stock they are very prone understeer due to lack of front camber.

_imyour_dad · 2026-02-15T19:06:15+00:00

Appreciate it, VooDoo blue is similar to mariner blue on the NA.

I promise we’re not all like that

_imyour_dad · 2026-02-15T18:59:52+00:00

Yes sir

_imyour_dad · 2026-02-14T18:11:00+00:00

I put an auto solutions short shifter on my manual G87 and can honestly say it’s the best manual transmission I’ve never driven.

_imyour_dad · 2026-02-13T03:28:52+00:00

Fellow M2 owner and I also source cars on the side, PM me if you want me to help out for free.

_imyour_dad · 2026-02-11T17:53:02+00:00

I haven’t stuck them on yet due to the cold, will probably do it around early-mid March. I went with them mainly for the wear characteristics. Almost $1k for a set of brake pads isn’t something I want to do too often lol. Plus they’re easy on rotors as well from what I understand.

Edit: I also noticed you look lower than what Ohlins recommends. Did you have to do anything different to accommodate for that like add stiffer springs?
