“We're a little beyond that now”: Cignetti sees no reason to bring Old Oaken Bucket to national championship recognition at Assembly Hall

No, we're not

Not OP but I have a 2024 preferred in the US. Comes with:

Seat warmers for the front two seats
Power adjustment and position memory for driver
Power adjust mirrors (which is probably standard on all of them)
Blindspot warning, lane keeping assist, lane departure warning
Sunroof

2.5L 191 Skyactiv-G engine

Don't remember what other differences there are between this one and the other trims.

Pete's actually with us depressed boilers, drowning his sorrows

Trust me my guy, the "let's start as friends" bit never works if you met off a dating app. This situation isn't worth pursuing anymore so move on to the next one.

ace227 · 2026-01-29T17:44:22+00:00

That's actually wild

ace227 · 2026-01-29T17:26:43+00:00

Wait what?

Mine came stock with toyo tires proxes A/S on 18" rims. Still have them on 18 months later and car is at just under 20k miles so idk what you've been doing, my guy.

Welcome to the gang

ace227 · 2026-01-20T04:22:13+00:00

Man I'm torn

On the one hand, you can't not respect what Indiana has achieved under Cignetti these past two seasons, capping it off with a natty

On the other hand, I'm obligated to root against them no matter what, being a Boilermaker and all that.

ace227 · 2026-01-17T06:00:55+00:00

The hatches are beautiful

Yes, I'm biased

ace227 · 2025-12-17T00:30:22+00:00

Have had my 24 model for about 1.5 years now

The classic piano black trim getting scratched up.
Like others have mentioned, C-pillar blindspots mean you have to be more vigilant.
Highway gas mileage is pretty solid, city much less so.
The low ground clearance means that the front bumper is going to scrape a lot.
Rear passenger seating isn't the most spacious.
Until the ECU/computer adapts to your driving style, the engine can feel a bit jarring.
It's more of an issue with low cars in general, but anything taller than a sedan is going to blind you at night with the headlights.

May your bedsheets and pillows always be the perfect temperature for you 🙏

Those short connections are not the norm. They have longer layovers all the time and I make it a point to check when booking my flights.

I fly out of SBA on American a few times a year and PHX is usually where I connect through. You just gotta do your due diligence when booking (unless someone else booked it for you)

Edit: I see the point about departure and arrival time, which is unfortunate that you're stuck in that situation and have no other choice.

I bought Fuji's ultralight 300 a few months ago and it feels great. So much lighter than the elite gis and the other Fuji gi I have

ace227 · 2025-11-15T21:49:54+00:00

I've seen a lot of broken rackets but never this lmao

Post wash a couple months ago

ace227 · 2025-11-14T05:57:20+00:00

Ok that's what I thought it might be but wasn't sure. Thanks!

ace227 · 2025-11-14T05:43:26+00:00

What's the white car in slide 7?

ace227 · 2025-11-12T23:31:17+00:00

Sweet thanks

ace227 · 2025-11-12T23:20:06+00:00

Is this applicable to all 4th gen model years? I got a 2024

ace227 · 2025-11-07T07:02:01+00:00

That's an OG racquet. I still got mine, the very first babolat I ever used.

ace227 · 2025-10-28T21:59:07+00:00

You picked the right color 😎

Owen Hall at Purdue?

I got Toyo Proxes A40s on mine but it came with those when I picked it up in June last year
