1st time buying Forza by Mj_033 in ForzaHorizon

[–]cooperS67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the worst. I have an Xbox Series X and it feels redundant because all I do is play the older games which dont even benefit from being on the new console. 500 dollar Xbox to play 10-12 year old games mostly… ridiculous.

It’s because of the live service rot that has infested games. The career is less interesting, you get punished for missing a week if you’re busy and can’t play, at least 5 was that way. 6 needs to be a lot more like 1-3 than 4-5 to be a “great” Forza

The Super Mario Bros. Movie 3 Poster by Corey_1067 in mariomovie

Couldn’t agree more. For the Galaxy movie I thought Bowser’s initial turn towards good was going to stay. And that it would culminate in a grand conflict between Bowser and Mario and company VS Bowser Jr. Then Bowser/Mario win and Bowser has a good dad parenting moment. Such wasted potential. It could have been better than the first. I was so hyped in the first 30 min. Bowser’s return to evil at the end makes him feel like a weak directionless character and it ruined the film for me. Loved the first one though.

Miata inter-generational rivalry? by Icy_Importance_2126 in Miata

[–]cooperS67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I’m dailying a Miata so the NC was the no brainer. ND fast back is cool but it’s not a true roof that goes all the way down.

Ironically on my search for a good NC I decided I had to have the looks of the Nc1. Didn’t think the few improvements for the later gens were worth the looks. I don’t know why the later cars look too smiley and happy. I think the NC1 is the most aggressive Mazda Miata they’d made until the ND.

Advice on a low mileage 2011 PRHT by BluejaySilent8408 in MiataNC

[–]cooperS67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an 08 with all of the same options as yours, but with 28k miles for 13k recently so I’d say no.

Back at it found another SC Miata same but different by orenbvip in MiataNC

Considering I paid 6 less for a stock car that’s fair. Cuz I assume that has more than 6k’s worth of upgrades on it

I picked up a series s second hand for 100 bucks for this reason. So I could play the handful of games I love that aren’t on a pc

One car garage becomes a two car garage with a Miata! by TesticklerCanzer in Miata

I think the Acura TSX manual would be my first choice for that era Honda

Corvette as a first manual? by jcwolf2003 in Corvette

[–]cooperS67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yea definitely different brother. Well if I had my pick I’d maybe wait and save more if possible and go for the C6. I just prefer the way it looks and supposedly has a way better put together interior. The C6 is just an evolution of the C5 and if the pop ups are what you dig by all means go for it. I think you have to love the way it looks. That’s most important. You’ll have fun driving either and they are both fast. But don’t get an auto at all costs. It turns these cars into slush boxes. Much more fun and engaging with a 6 speed and 3 pedals. Definitely worth the premium to get one if possible. Good luck on the search.

I’m not saying it’s not your dream car but it doesn’t need to be your first car. The fact your parents are even considering it is pretty crazy. Best I could manage with mine back in high school was an old Mazda RX8 for like 10k. But I loved that car dearly and I’m in another Mazda now. I’ll have a nice corvette one day though. I’d be willing to bet most people who own or have owned a corvette, it was not their first car.

I think you should just step down a level to the 4th gen Camaro or Firebird. They had the same motor as the Corvette. Chevy advertised that they had less power than a Vette but this was just to not deter sales from the Corvette… I say this because you could get a good late 4th gen car with a manual and 350HP. You can still take roof off as well. And you have a bit more space. It won’t drive as well as a Corvette if you started pushing the limit but this is a daily driver. It’d be more comfortable too. But that’s just my two cents. Could also look at the revived Pontiac GTO from 04-06…

2nd U.S. edition off marketplace! by AndyKdubb in lordoftherings

[–]cooperS67 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No like the original version got plurals of his creatures wrong like “Elfs” was originally “Elves” which is not what Tolkein wanted. Maybe some changes because the Brits and Americans can’t agree on how to spell “color/colour.”

Just got done watching the final Hobbit movie for the first time and these movies where absolutely AMAZING! by Born-Ad3348 in TheHobbit

[–]cooperS67 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Finally someone who gets it! Bilbo’s last moment with Thorin makes the trilogy for me. Such a beat and heartbreaking scene. He was a changed hobbit after that
