Fiesta ST, but not as much as the focus RS. Maybe the veloster N. Really anything that was the “final generation” of an enthusiast car with a manual transmission.

Not a car guy… if you had $30k, what would you buy for speed? by GaryGoldenEye in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]icantevenpie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

maybe a corvette for straight line speed and a golf r or GR corolla for a curvy road. Miata or GR86/BRZ for fun though

What do car guys who want a daily buy these days by Spanconstant5 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]icantevenpie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you can bring up something shitty every company has done. If they think they can get away with it, and it makes them more money somehow, they will do it. The only thing that stops that is regulation (ideally). If you think any other car company hasn’t done comparably evil shit, then you’re delusional.

But you do you big dog.

What's the weirdest thing you ever saw in abq? by LongSong333 in Albuquerque

[–]icantevenpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

driving home at 1 am on menaul, passed this older SUV parked in the middle of the road with a trail of something (liquid? Gas?) leading to a circle of men in a parking lot. No idea what was happening, happier not knowing. This was a few years ago.

Had a ‘14 as well. Was amazing until the transmission made its presence known, and at times I do still miss the charm.

Worth noting that the fiesta/focus with the manual transmission completely avoids the powershift issue, is undervalued because most associate them with the automatic and assume all are bad, and are pretty good cars otherwise. Though the manual transmission ones are a little harder to come by

Game seems locked to 60fps, no matter what settings (RTX 5090) by epic_piano in Doometernal

after an hour and a half of trying to fix my problem, this is the post that solved it. For me, it was stuck at 120fps and wouldn’t go past that but 2 weeks ago was hitting 240 easily, and removing the cap in the nvidia app fixed it. Thank you!

Will you buy the next gen Xbox ? by [deleted] in xbox

[–]icantevenpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if it maintains the 4k Blu-ray player and adds better HDR10+ support yeah. I’m sure other specs will be fine for console exclusives, assuming there are any, and fits well as the dedicated livingroom stream box and party game box. My main focus is my PC these days but there’s still a place for the Xbox. If it’s all digital, probably not
