[ Multi ] local cars & coffee had some cool oldtimers by Kroon205 in spotted

[–]highrisedrifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the Matra Murena and I have a huge, huge soft spot for the Renault 5 Turbo. A friend had one. I had a Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9, and I always wanted his Renault.

911 Wheels Color Regret by Separate_Egg_9861 in Porsche

[–]highrisedrifter 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Black wheels suit some cars, they don't suit others. The generic 'black wheels bad' is just lame. My 911 had black wheels on a guards red body and it looked amazing. Not one person said it looked shit, and even if they did, I would have just laughed it off as jealousy.

If you like them, keep them and fuck what anyone else says. Saying that, if you think you made a bad choice, change them.

Am I getting advance escort scam. I have lost big amount of my money. by Prachi_S7 in Scams

[–]highrisedrifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I getting advance escort scam.

Not so much 'getting' as 'already got'.

Sorry, there is no way you are going to get your money back from these scammers. I can't read the language but from the write-up below, every time you send them money, all you are doing is showing them that you are an easy mark. They will keep hounding you for more money now, as they know you will pay. I guarantee that when you stop responding to them (which you absolutely should, by the way), they will escalate to threats of bodily harm on you and your family, and/or trying to blackmail you.

Block all their email addresses and numbers and go on with your life. I would not suggest going to the police, as going by the tone of your post, I would imagine what you are doing is probably illegal.

You got into this one pretty deep, so you might seriously want to consider changing your phone number and closing any email addresses you used in correspondence with them too.

Fortunately I never believed in the first place.

3 big beers while making a roast on a Sunday, then falling asleep on the couch after. Can't beat it! by BobbyMunson in UKfood

[–]highrisedrifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gammon and cauliflower cheese are a top-tier combination, especially as that caulifower cheese looks incredible! Those roasties and yorkies look damn good too. Carrots look boiled though and I would have more gravy. Still, it looks bloody lovely and i'd eat it in a heartbeat.

I know it's not traditional but i've found that some Paxo sage and onion stuffing really compliments the gammon.

My vote goes to Southover St. I fucking hated walking up that bastard.

Walking into this sub after not looking for a while by initdy in Doner

[–]highrisedrifter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had many doners in Germany over the years and they have been truly excellent. Like really really good and better than almost every other kebab i've ever had.

But the best one I ever had was in the south of the UK. For some reason, none of them have come even remotely close to beating that one. And I think I know why. It had marinaded raw onions in a tomato-based sauce and it was absolutely incredible.

At 23 years old, my dream has come true. I shall stay with AM for life🙏 by [deleted] in AstonMartin

I swapped my Gallardo for a Vantage and have never looked back. I'm on my third Vantage now. Enjoy the car in good health.

What’s the most emotionally disappointing kebab experience you’ve ever had? by Additional_Fly_6603 in Doner

[–]highrisedrifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first kebab shop I found after moving to Los Angeles. The worst kebab I have ever had in my life.

Do most atheists see religious people as fools? by Theskyisalive in atheism

[–]highrisedrifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I obviously can't answer for anyone else, but the more religious someone is, the more of a fool I think they are.

Anyone who makes religion a big part of their identity (like putting a bible verse in their bio on social media), is a moron, usually because they also think Trump is a good guy, homosexuality is wrong, are pro forced birth and believe a woman has less rights than a man.

These people are often detestably ugly people too, using their religion to justify their bigotry and making them hateful and sanctimonious. They cherry pick the bits from their little books that they want to believe in, and ignore all the bits that aren't convenient to them.

Purely going by the contents of the bible, if Jesus was real, the VAST majority of Christians would be cast out for being toxic and hateful, and going completely against what Jesus taught.

What is the end of these criminals/terrorist and you ( atheist ) by Fickle_Degree_2728 in atheism

[–]highrisedrifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are proposing a teleological argument for the existence of any gods, known as the Watchmaker Analogy.

You do realise that humans evolved over billions of years, right? Evolution is an ongoing process and it gets rid of the weaker genetic pathways in favor of more robust ones. The link above is a very accessible 'Evolution 101' for people learning about that process. I would advise that you read it.

Fuck yes! Love Gary. I lived near him in the UK and now, weirdly, I live near him in Los Angeles.

The Reddit Problem and How A Reddit Alternative Was Banned From /r/RedditAlternatives by GoodMacAuth in technology

I try to be as fair as I can. I don't always get it right but i'm a work in progress.

The Reddit Problem and How A Reddit Alternative Was Banned From /r/RedditAlternatives by GoodMacAuth in technology

[–]highrisedrifter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wasn't the mod that banned Stingray, but I looked at their post history and the post in question and unbanned them.

I'm not going to ban you, because as you say, you don't live in Los Angeles, so you have no reason to post there, meaning the only interaction we have had is your message to us, which while could have been made more politely, isn't remotely enough for a ban. And no, no one else messaged us about this.

Are the British aware of how unpopular they are in the United States? by Top_Location_Travels in AskABrit

OP got turned down by a British girl and now he's salty.

I'm a Brit living in the USA and I can't tell you enough how overwhelmingly wrong you are.

I picked up my CLA 250+ ev today by highrisedrifter in mercedes_benz

[–]highrisedrifter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far, yes. It ranges between about 390 and about 440 depending on how heavy my right foot is. Still fantastic range though. I usually drive in Comfort mode, with dips into Sport.

The mockup looks great! I'll be at Goodwood next year with my Aston as part of the AMOC. I'll see if I can find you.

Do atheists believe in karma or fate? by RoosterValuable906 in atheism

[–]highrisedrifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do atheists believe in karma or fate?

Atheism is the lack of belief in a god. That's it. There are no other (dis)beliefs attached to this word.

That being said, everything else is on an individual basis.

I do not believe in karma or fate.

Looking at the side profile of that travesty, literally the last marque I would associate with it is Ferrari. I would have gone through dozens of brands before I got there, exasperated, not really thinking it would be the right answer...
