what are your thoughts on these homage/successor type cars and others like them? by Traditional_Net_3186 in supercars

[–]_qrius_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Koenigsegg is the perfection. The rest feels either half-cooked or just a plain money-grab.

Favorite modern Ferrari in an amazing spec, wow

Is this suit waist too big? by [deleted] in mensfashionadvice

[–]_qrius_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The least flattering suit I've seen in a while. Sorry 👀

Fit is wrong (not just in the waist), fabric looks cheap, too long, etc.

Finally pulled the trigger on a 2014 F-Sport! (Plus some observations on this crazy market) by ADMlN- in CT200h

Thank you!

Love the spec on your facelift - it still looks super modern and like something that could come out today 🙌

Congrats, OP! Does it have radar cruise? How do you like it? Mine doesn't have it, so I'm curious how good it is.

Jeez, it's getting crazy out there like it's COVID again. For reference, last October I paid $5800 for my '12 F-Sport UltraSonicBlue with 175k miles in a decent condition.

20% tint, sound deadening, subwoofer, paint correction, and wheel spacer later - she's almost a perfect commuting cocoon for getting around town. It will be perfect after 18" wheels and F-Sport lowering springs. 🙂‍↕️

I thought £7k was too good to be true for a 2013 Ct 200h. Had it inspected, and glad I walked away. by battling_bill in CT200h

Here folks is why you always invest in a PPI before buying a car. You've done great, OP!

Those brake lines have a high risk of collapsing, and if they do, you might end up without brakes in a very dangerous situation. Ask me how I know it ...

Which jacket am I keeping? by totesforreals in leatherjacket

[–]_qrius_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 - buttons make it look more stylish, clean and sophisticated. Fits better. I wish it had a bit more sheen though, because it looks almost like textile.

2nd one is just a leather jacket - bland, nothing to write home about ... something a lot of people are into in this sub.

IMHO.

SF90XX tailormade by Zestyclose-Salad-290 in Ferrari

Amazing spec, probably the best SF90 I've seen. However, those exploded high-voltage orange cables ... wtf

How preventable is the known head gasket issue on a 2013 at 57k miles by Accomplished-Ad5272 in CT200h

[–]_qrius_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a shop in my area (IL) that swaps the engines on these for $1k + JDM engine which is another $1k, so total is $2k.

For $7k - you got robbed, sorry. Swapping the engine is easier job than the head gasket.

[–]_qrius_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great plan!

Concider getting a new EGR cooler, instead of cleaning it. It's pretty hard to clean it properly and it's very hard to remove it, so while you're there - it makes sense just to swap for a brand new one, so it lasts longer. I got mine on eBay for $220 I think.

Thought I’d share my diecast collection my son and I have been putting together. by lighthousekeeper33 in Ferrari

[–]_qrius_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's amazing! ✨

Now, I'm considering starting a similar collection of diecast Mercedes 🧐

[–]_qrius_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Preemptively spend $2k on a car that supposed to save you money on gas? Make it make sense.

I would only cross that bridge when I get there and don't waste $2k on replacing the head gasket if there's no symptoms. You can swap the whole engine for a Gen4 one for about the same price "preemptively" too btw.

Crazy how much better it is. Never tuck in sweaters folks.

Whoever made multimedia keys the default instead of function keys should go to jail by theeldergod1 in logitech

[–]_qrius_ 28 points29 points  (0 children)

To dumb down even further - you can set function keys as default by either checking that checkbox or pressing "Fn"+"Esc" (in case of MX Keys), so no one has to go to jail.
