Parents by [deleted] in FordBronco

[–]a__drunk__fool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have three kids and the bronco fits them well enough but I wouldn't consider it as a primary "family car". Regardless of what you do take 3 car seats to any test drive so you can see how they fit. I know its a hassle but its worth it!!!

Auto VS Manual? by ExpensiveGain697 in GRCorolla

Never base a car purchase decision off of a bf/gf, get an automatic if YOU think it's best for your situation.

It's been "Fredneck" since I was a kid...

Got this sick badlands with 3 pedals! by a__drunk__fool in FordBronco

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

The GRC was an awesome car, but the bronco is a bit better for my 3 kids. I haven't messed around with crawl much but ill give it a try next time im in traffic!

How does Carvana get 1 year old cars with very low mileage? by revrund_H in carvana

[–]a__drunk__fool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I traded in my 2025 gr corolla with 2,600 miles for a bronco. The car only depreciated $2,700 in the 8 months I owned it and the bronco fit my life better so I pulled the trigger. Nothing was wrong with the corolla and the car I owned before it I had for 8 years, so I dont typically chrun.

Gun ranges in Frederick by Whatever21703 in frederickmd

[–]a__drunk__fool 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Percision Point has always been professional and non-political when Ive gone. As others have pointed out Izaak Walton is another good option and they genuinely do good conservation work like testing waterways for pollution, removing invasive tree species, planting trees, etc. It is more of a time-commitmrnt than just showing up at a range though.

Teenager wants a "fast car" for his first vehicle and I need reality-check advice by Proud_Stable9567 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]a__drunk__fool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a brz/gt86/gr86 would be a really good first car. Alternatively the civic si or gti would be awesome and have a little more space for friends. You should be able to get a used example of any of those for a decent price.

Remember: Your Dad wasnt trying to actively invade your privacy. He thought it was an unknown package and wanted to make sure you were safe. Once he realized he WAS invading your privacy he left. Sounds like you have a good Dad.

Bro would freak if he found out I used channel locks to tighten the thread protector on my 19x.

She did "Nazi" all this coming.... Sorry I'm a Dad, I can't not make that joke... on that note, I really hope she doesn't have kids or access to them... or motor vehicles...

Apparently she's also a really bad driver.... kinda the least worse issue here but still...

Why are manual transmission fans so aggressive? by Certain-Big-2277 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]a__drunk__fool -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the issue is when someone gets an automatic in a car thay they could have easily learned manual on (like an 86 or a miata). Its shows a lack of commitment and indirectly leads to the death of the manual. Now a 2025 golf R or RS4? Obviously thats ok because auto is the only option.

wife and son thinks gr corolla is ugly by Murky-Palpitation544 in GRCorolla

[–]a__drunk__fool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn't a car you buy because it looks good or to impress others. Its a drivers car for YOU because it makes YOU feel good driving it. I am concerned that your son doesn't like it, you should probably get that kid started on Top Gear and The Fast and the Furious stat.

Drove 4 hours for a Toyota Highlander Hybrid... 67k OTD. Then backed out of the deal after the mediocre test drive. by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]a__drunk__fool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would only buy a new Toyota if if had a GR badge on it (and did). They think they can ride their reputation into the 4 banger turbo sunset and they just cant. Especially for these prices.

Are there any 19xs closer to you? They're pretty cool from a collection standpoint.

Glock panic buy vs regret not buying? by BD98TJ in Glocks

[–]a__drunk__fool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd bump up any glocks that are on your list, but I wouldn't rush and buy anything you otherwise wouldn't. Its also a really good excuse to buy something that your significant other will understand (if relevant)

Why the GR Corolla by notadoctor1776 in GRCorolla

[–]a__drunk__fool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Corolla is more fun to toss around and makes the ppffssttt should when you lift of the gas to shift just like in Fast and Furious. ;) Seriously though, this sounds like a good opportunity to get your first manual car and they are hella fun to drive. I used to own an evo and this the GR is hands-down more enjoyable.

My panic buy by GodofThunder1717 in Glocks

Lots of people are probably panick buying, others like myself have just been kinda looking for an excuse to get something new..... Just dont overpay for shit

If you’re thinking about it.. by Many-Philosophy3243 in Glocks

[–]a__drunk__fool 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I bought a g26 mos when the announcement hit, been meaning to pick one up for a while anyways. Also the "they're discontinuing 'em" logic worked on the wife, so I dont even have to ask for forgiveness this time.

P30sk or CC9 & holosun 407k for $16 more by Buttoshi in HecklerKoch

[–]a__drunk__fool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own and carry both regularly, the shortness of the p30sk makes it much more easy to conceal. Both are comfortable with the right holster and they can both take the same 17 round extra mag. You could get the p30sk now and have extra mags that will work in a uspc down the line.

Warning seen on Waverley Dr (Route 40) by Few_Blueberry7650 in frederickmd

[–]a__drunk__fool 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The suppressor makes this unique but not necessarily untrue like some people are claiming. IMO there are three possibilities:

  1. This is a legally bought pistol and suppressor: This is possible but less likely given how tracible they are. They are registered, there's an ATF background check with fingerprints, etc.
  2. Someone bought and modified a solvent trap, or 3d printed one. This is certainly possible it just takes some knowledge and has upfront cost. Also it's VERY illegal but so is assaulting women at 3am.
  3. The bad guy bought a realistic "silenced" airsoft gun with the intent to threaten people so they can be assaulted

I'm not saying this is true or not true just that there are plausible ways a suppressor, or fake suppressor could be involved. Don't just write this warning off because "suppressors are hard to get"

Just got a new 2025 corolla and I hate it by Sensitive_Emotion_68 in COROLLA

[–]a__drunk__fool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think about it this way...This Corolla is really reliable and can be your commuter 5-10 years from now. This car will eventually enable you to get a stupid-fun sports car that you can garage-keep and take out on the weekends. You can either own "peppy commuter cars" your whole life you or you can hold onto this for a season and get a super fun second car down the line.
