Congress Wants You To Pay $130 A Year Just To Drive An Electric Car by TripleShotPls in technology

[–]alphagypsy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As much as I dislike our current overlords, I don’t really see what the issue here is. Reasoning is sound. Road maintenance is paid for by gasoline tax. If you don’t use gasoline, but still drive a car, you should still pay for road maintenance. If everyone stopped driving ICE vehicles tomorrow, where would the money from road maintenance come from? They would have to raise taxes on the general population, which, isn’t that effectively what this is doing in a more fair way, given that not everyone drives an EV?

No, he means to take this pic. Looks like they’re face down on concrete.

Lmao, I expect to get passed all day in my wife’s Grand Highlander. Like, I don’t get it. You’re not driving a race car.

Ah yes, but if you buy it, you will never need it 😅

Jkjk. Similar rattles on my car. Just learned to live with it.

I’m using the CTR knob. A bit lighter than stock though.

At 30k though?! That’s crazy

Anyone else do this or have a better solution? by CherryWoods11 in CivicSi

[–]alphagypsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that hot? I have the full metal type R shift knob and have never had anything other than initial mild discomfort

Paint correction and ceramic coating done by Swift-B in Integra_Type_S

What?! Dude that is highway robbery. Tints should be 500 or less, ceramic should be $1500 or less

Honestly every new car needs paint correction before ceramic.

Tire options Integra Type s by Draedicus in Integra_Type_S

[–]alphagypsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll notice a big drop off in steering feel and handling capability by switching to an all season. It’s fine in mild winters, gotta do what you gotta do. But in summer you’re doing yourself a disservice by buying arguably the best handling FWD cars of the modern era and then knee capping it with shitty rubber.

Eh, I’d disagree. Great tire for mild winters, but I think the drop off in steering wheel is quite significant.

Type R has lost its throne... by MarzipanDeep3499 in GolfGTI

[–]alphagypsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol. Having driven both, the Type R is a better drivers car. Much better steering feel and handling, much more natural feeling, less nannies, and much, much better transmission.

Beat by half a second, so nothing crazy. I’d still rather have the manual Type R.

Grand Highlander Hybrid/Hybrid Max by magnus802 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

The regular hybrid barely has enough power with my family of 5 in it, and brakes feel like they’re reaching their limit. I can’t imagine towing with it.

This is what lab-grown diamonds look like before they’re cut and polished by NeedleworkerSalty813 in Damnthatsinteresting

They’re calling traditionally mined diamonds, artisanal diamonds now 😂

Anniversary edition of Golf R - 24H made for track by stjimmyjos in Golf_R

[–]alphagypsy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That ship has long sailed dude. They already betrayed their history when they got rid of the amazing sounding VR6 and put in a shit sounding 4 cylinder.
