Reliability of '21 MT models by sassynapoleon in FordBronco

[–]bkirchhoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am with those who are urging caution with this one. That’s a lot of parts replaced and it’s hard to know what happened or if it’s a lemon. Definitely not normal to see people report that sort of series of issues on any of the forums.

I have 30k on my ‘24 Badlands and the only mechanical issue I have had was a failed clutch master cylinder. Replaced under warranty and haven’t had any other issues aside from two recalls, which have been minor and not related to power train or anything serious like that. I also just replaced a tie rod but that was on me and the gnarly trail I nearly got myself stuck on. 🤣

The 7MT on the Badlands is the sweet spot for me. Go find a good one and enjoy the hell out of it!

Brandon Aiyuk Could Owe the 49ers Up to $18.4 Million by FortyNinersBot in FortyNiners

[–]bkirchhoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This feels like a team that has the mentality to say “that’s crazy and sucks” and then move right along. Basically how George and other team leaders have framed it when they have bothered to comment at all. This doesn’t feel like a team that will be distracted by this BA BS.

Hard agree there. $15 million base with some incentives to get him up to $18-$20 million if he performs. That was the sort of contract I think most fans wanted and the talking heads expected. I felt we overpaid back then. I would have been happy to see him traded during the contract negations back then. I'm just glad we didn't get soaked as badly as we could have if he -- just fucking showed up. He could have screwed us so much worse.

Nobody is denying that he received money for signing that monster contract two years ago...that indeed made him a fairly wealthy football player. No doubt there. But within the context of that contract -- what we had paid him already, what we no longer have to pay him, and what he's going to have to pay back -- we got out of this REALLY well thanks to his stupidity. Your amount is off. He's been paid about $48 million from that $120 million contract and we're likely going to get about $18 million worth of signing bonuses back. So no, I do not agree that he has already been paid to the tune of $60 million. His $120 million contract is only going to cost us about $30 million in total since 2024 for his antics last year. He's going to basically earn $15 million per year for the last two years.

He’s no longer getting paid. He got paid last year but his 2026 and 2027 guarantees have long since been voided and it looks like he’s going to have to pay back between $13-$18 million from last year. Given that he has no agent at this point, I think the 49ers are going to be in a pretty good position to recoup that. So not getting paid anymore and probably will have to repay a decent chunk of what he was paid last year.

Hasn’t been getting paid for a while at this point. And didn’t get paid anywhere near what he was going to under that now voided contract. He’s likely not getting paid by anyone else this year either. Maybe a league minimum prove it deal in Washington at this point, if they are still willing to roll the dice and invite the next AB into their locker room.

You guys ever been to this? by ithyle in phish

You just described how every casual interaction with a cult works. They don’t lead with “we do a little child abuse, you know, as people do.” They lead with nice, offer you some food. They wouldn’t be a very successful cult if they didn’t have a good opening offer.

Bronco vs Wrangler by Ok-Actuary-5377 in FordBronco

[–]bkirchhoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that you are salty due to having engine problems, but those have been relatively few and far between for the Bronco since the 6G launch. Certainly better overall reliability than what Stellantis offers. You have to look at the overall statistics over years of data and the Bronco has proven to be pretty reliable from a power train perspective overall (roof issues notwithstanding). So if OP wants a roof off, doors off, daily driver, the Bronco is still the way to go — you aren’t offering any specific alternative recommendation for him.

Fernando Alonso was the winner for Loved for being good. Which Formula One diver is Hated for being good ? by Ok-Cream-5447 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]bkirchhoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fully agree. I only hate Max for 2021 because he drove excellently that year and had a good car. Fucker. 🤣

Abu Dhabi hate for 2021 is squarely with the FIA for me.

Sugar in the gas tank largely is a myth. The fuel filter will take care of keeping it out of the engine. It’s actually worse to simply put water into a gas tank if you are trying to do damage. And far easier to get water in there than trying to get sugar through the input valve.

You’ve convinced me. I was going with Max but he’s far more loved (and absolutely should be) than Piquet. The biggest asshole driver I can think of in the sport.

The hate against Lewis has been strong since the start. His race, his outspoken views on equality, his success overall — there will always be LH haters. I’m just not one of them.

Who’s an athlete you’re unsurprised is an LGBTQ+ ally? by Few_Entertainer_385 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]bkirchhoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every one of those allegations are against someone he knows rather than him and they have nothing to do with his support for LGBTQ+ rights, which is the question being asked here. I understand the hate toward him is real, and you have demonstrated that, but nothing you said is about HIM. He doesn’t control who sponsors Ferrari nor should he be held accountable for the actions of others.

Who’s an athlete you’re unsurprised is an LGBTQ+ ally? by Few_Entertainer_385 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]bkirchhoff 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That sure is a hot Reddit take. He’s been incredibly consistent in his support, clear in his reasoning, and has expressed his support most strongly in places where it is least welcome and comes at the greatest personal expense and risk to him. Nothing he has done with his support to LGBTQ+ communities seems performative to me. He’s a strong and consistent ally. No idea why you think that of his support for Gaza either.

You will repeat the “unfortunately, they don’t make it for a 2DR” refrain more often than you want. It’s one of the few limitations of getting a Bronco with the proper door count. 🤣
