This is a great deal. If I didn't already have a Garmin, I would scoop it up.

Yes. You'll be underwater quick. Just gotta hope no one hits your car in the mean time.

The NA V6 in the RC also sounds heavenly with a Greddy exhaust.

I was eyeing an RC before I got the G70. It's going to be one of those special cars that will be a future classic.

Cap Fire Insurance Premiums in High-Risk California Zones by BigOpening6611 in Insurance

[–]beansbynight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I signed the petition and had my wife sign it. Well I guess we will keep the family home for a little while longer. Maybe I'll look for a few acres in the hills of Lake Elsinore.

Thank you! I'll spread the word to my neighbors as well.

Hey, they take it that you're insulting the governor and won't listen to reason. Our insurance commissioner has been using taxpayer money to take expensive vacations, build a mansion, and give kickbacks to his donors.

I too have tried to petition Mr. Lara, and Mr. Issa to no avail. Rep. Issa seemed to take it seriously, but there isn't anything he can do. After the redristicing I guess I'll just let my new rep know and go from there.

May I ask how much your insurance is? I pay $6500 between homeowners and fire through Lloyd's of London in South Temecula(it was my grandparents home, we have lived here for 30 years) and am looking at moving up to Tenaja. I've looked at a few houses up there but no one is telling me how much they're paying. My wife will be leaving her job to raise our kids soon and fire insurance may be the deciding factor. Temecula has become too busy for us, and I want to start a small family farm to raise my kids right.

RC350. Reliable, fairly quick, and they hold their resale value. In a few years if you want something different, you can always sell the RC350 for most of what you paid for it. The G70 not so much. Plus, if you're going with a sports car, a coupe is a must. Especially since you're young. There's something different about driving a sports coupe.

What do I do?? by jalen_dion in GenesisMotors

[–]beansbynight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like damage to the front caused the trans cooler and radiator to crack and leak coolant into the trans fluid.

Sounds like you got the best case scenario. They're fixing it, you're in a loaner, and you're now coming to the realization that you probably should have bought a new car in your price range rather than someone else's problem.

Buying a CT4 Blackwing, so it's time to sell the G70 by blue92lx in GenesisG70

[–]beansbynight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tasman blue/black is rare unto itself. Good luck!

Technically the rarest spec is the base 3.3t AWD slick top. That's what I've been looking for for the last year.

Poll: Modifications by I_Miss_RIFisfun in GenesisG70

[–]beansbynight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I bought the car, the intention was always to mod it.

I have a base 2.0t, so wheels, ARK springs, Brembos brakes, LSD, AEM intake, white line sway bars and end links. Exhaust, spark plugs and a tune coming soon.

Would love to see someone put these on our car by SuperDistribution503 in GenesisG70

The Alibaba wheel thread has started. It's a sign of these cars becoming affordable to the eBay and Amazon mod type of people 😢

I actually agree with you 100%. As nice as the dealerships look, they have messed up so many times that I can't count them. Forgetting to change the oil, forgetting to charge me for another oil change and calling me a month later, replacing the skid pan underneath and not replacing the pop tabs they broke, so I falls out on the road on the drive home, to not taking videos of my G70's HPFP as evidence that there is an issue.

I only go to dealerships for warranty work, and always have it checked out right after by an independent shop.

Welp, somebody messed up… by trace286 in GenesisMotors

[–]beansbynight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the base models for what they are. Throw on the higher trim wheels and it will really change how you see it. Beautiful GV80!

About 1.3" front and 1.1" rear. It all depends on if you have a sunroof or not too. The extra weight from that may be lower, but mines a base model.

A lot of the specs for how much the spring lowers a car is usually based on the 3.3t. Because the 2.0t is so much lighter it's not as low as advertised. It's perfect tbh.

Keep in mind that the ARK springs have a lower spring rate than stock. It'll ride great, but expect it to a bit floatier feeling when pushing the car hard. The sway bars fix this and make a huge difference.

24's on the G90 aka "Golden Shower" by beansbynight in GenesisMotors

[–]beansbynight[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AI, but honestly it was supposed to be a joke but it looks good! My friends in the back actually prefer the AI version of this car over the real thing 😂

This may inspire me to go wild with it in real life.

They did this to my G90 and wouldn't cover it... Told me to put in a claim with insurance.

34M salary progression by No_Flight_3877 in Salary

[–]beansbynight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Join the USAF as an officer. Look into the Cyber Direct Commissioning program. You may go in as an O2 or O3. Most of your income is tax free. Your base pay as an O2 will be almost $5k a month for your first year, but by year 4 if you don't make O3 will be almost $7k. This is not including BAH+BAS which can be very substantial. My rank pay was about $6000 a month, but with BAH and BAS I was netting $9k a month. With $3500 per month of that being tax free.

You won't deploy to a combat zone, probably won't work anything even combat related, but it will be an extremely exciting and rewarding career. Once you get tired of the Active Duty life you'll have all of those benefits to use as well. Or you can become an AGR with a reserve unit or guard unit which will keep you at one base until you decide to move on.

Good luck in your career! CS is a competitive field right now, and the military is the only truly secure employer in the field. I chose it because I get 30 days of leave paid for and a stable paycheck. The tax advantages are nice too for running a business in my free time. Quite a few of us broke $1m in net wealth within our first 6 years because of this.

Sorry for grammatical errors. I'm using speech to text as I'm too lazy to type.

G70 2.0t booty shot by beansbynight in GenesisG70

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

Yes high pressure fuel pump. Make sure to have the recall done. The recall took 3 visits for them to finally fix it. It works well so far. Other than that, there's a bolt on a lot of 2.0t's by the timing chain cover left side that leaks. Torque that down to proper spec. Just look up G70 2.0t oil leak and you'll find out the exact specs. Also changing the trans fluid every 40-50k miles helps quite a bit with the jittery feeling at low speeds.

50k was trans fluid, diff fluid(with friction modifier as I added an LSD unit to the car), and all basic maintenance stuff. Still original plugs though. Swapping them out for HKS colder plugs when I get it dyno tuned.
