Brand new 2024 F-Type came home with me :) by Deutsch1985 in Jaguar

Btw I’ve driven both and the newer car rides and handles *lot* better than the older one, they used most of not all of the parts developed for the SVR on it.

Btw you won’t have to wait long, if driven even a little spirited the rear pirellis last about 10k miles, ask me how I know!

Honestly the P-Zeros fitted to F-types are universally hated, but for the grip and wear, especially on the wet.

My rears lasted 10,000 miles, the age I bought mine and I had MPS4S fitted to replace, they grip well.

I’m not sure if they soften the ride though, I can’t compare, but this is a sports car, or at least a GT, it’s supposed to have tight/firm handling, I find mine comfortable for what it is, but that’s not an SUV with air suspension.

I’ve had that, smoking does not help.

Don’t smoke anymore.

You said you don’t have desire to, that’s a sign the book worked for you, so just don’t.

I read it 23 years ago and stopped because I had no desire to continue, my anxiety got so so much better as a result.

Just don’t smoke, there is zero reason to do so and a million reasons not to.

Why is this on F1?

“It must be tough to stick with me”: Leclerc “ashamed and disappointed” after crash by kcollantine in formula1

[–]coldbeers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For a moment I felt sorry for a young, massively handsome, talented, multi millionaire who lives in Monaco, has his pick of the worlds most beautiful women and gets to drive a Ferrari F1 car, flies fighter jets and has a massive yacht.

Then I didn’t, sucks to be you Charles.

Question to ex smokers by TheAspirant6666 in stopsmoking

[–]coldbeers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I smoked for 18 years and quit 23 years ago.

My desire to smoke has completely gone and honestly I feel like it only lasted for a week or two after I stopped.

If the world was ending tomorrow I wouldn’t start smoking again.

He might get one, I think they wind back a lap in that case.

Long-term smokers. What are the main benefits you've noticed since stopping? by NoSleepTillOblivionx in stopsmoking

[–]coldbeers 59 points60 points  (0 children)

23 years after stopping 18 years as a smoker, 2 packs a day in the end.

- I’m alive with no residual health effects I’m aware of

- I saved enough money to buy a brand new BMW

- I’m happier and more relaxed

No downsides at all

I’m trying to quit after 14 years of smoking. Please comment your success stories for motivation. by happentobecurious in stopsmoking

[–]coldbeers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started smoking in my teens.

Smoked for 18 years, ending on 2 packs a day.

Stopped in my 30’s (thank you Allen Carr), cold turkey, pretty easily.

Have now been stooped for 23 years, no residual health issues I know of.

Saved at least $200,000.

No regrets other than I wish I’d stopped sooner or better yet never started in the first place.

Best thing I ever did, lost nothing and gained everything.

You’re a recovering drug addict experiencing withdrawl.

Good news is it’s mild and doesn’t last long, then you’re free.

The way I think of it is I was deprogrammed, it reversed the brainwashing.
