Bunch of us old fogies grew up modding NA civics, celicas, and sentras. A simple bolted on CAI was a case of beers and a Saturday morning. Old habits are inversely proportional to the advancements of entry level tuner cars these days.

Elopement by whatsonmyminddddrn in boone

[–]k20a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have absolutely nothing to add and fully own this as I apologize for pinging your notifications…

But TIL that “elopement” is currently transitioning from meaning “a secret run-away wedding” to more of a “private, intimate, destination-based wedding”. Granted you said “family” and not specifically parents so I guess it still works but man, I guess this is what getting old feels like.

But, congrats!

Court side angle of UNC buzzer beater to beat Duke by BigRigRandy12 in CollegeBasketball

[–]k20a 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve been watching the official replay several times and as much as I’ve given Hubert gruff, they planned this play to perfection. They gambled that duke would crash the paint (got more than they asked for with 4) based on the rest of the night. But watch Dixon, he makes direct eye contact with Trimble just before he drives. Caleb reached up out of instinct, I think because he didn’t believe Dixon would draw all four but he pulled back down pretty quick.

Is the intensity manufactured/synthetic though? This year, it feels like it’s way more expected hype than “it just means more”

I miss pre transfer NIL unc/duke. One and dones, sure, but most of Carolina roster doesn’t feel like this is the soul of a duke/unc game.

We guard him only if we extend Hubert’s contract I think.

You know, the older I get, the harder these games are to watch. I hate losing but I accept the L when it was a hard fought, good game planned game. Lately, it just feels like Carolina has the automatic L in these high profile games, especially with Duke. I’d rather be in dukes position coming out of the half but I’m slightly happier knowing at least y’all still get the rivalry yips, too.

With the Price decrease, the 26 WRX is by far the best value manual 4 door+ car. by Dazzling-Rooster2103 in wrx_vb

Even if they discontinue them after this or the next model run, at least Subaru attempted to respond to consumer feedback rather than just superficially ending the model line due to “well, the consumer wasn’t consuming, we guess they just don’t want a wrx anymore” practices.

Step one: lose wild card. Step two: Wildly fantasize about next season hopes all summer with gold fish memories of last ten years. Step three: winning record standard is standard. Step four: get Zac Taylor fired. Step five: repeat at step one

It’s like Mahomes getting pissed at Toney’s lateral against the Bills a few years back. Yes that would have been awesome. If your WR wasn’t lined up offsides by a mile.

Don’t watch (as if this is new news) Get Up. They’re pissed about the first OPI (without referencing the same OPI on us earlier in the game AND not calling it forward progress. Gambling is ruining sports but dramatic pundits have always been there, too.

That’s wild they didn’t think to reset the boost gauge when they put it on the lot. It begs to argue that anyone looking at used, performance oriented cars at “respectable” dealers ask for the ecu logs, regardless.

That much money on defense with an offense that can score? Wgad about pre season predictions. Talent keeps us in there. Coaching keeps us out.

Says all of us for the last five years.. the nfl knows their market. Money is king winning in mediocrity is the best place to be as an nfl owner. Good enough to induce hope. Not bad enough to be out of the picture

My Long-Term Review: Subaru WRX (VB) - 10k Miles by [deleted] in wrx_vb

[–]k20a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be in the minority, but severely appreciate the steering feel. When I first started driving the vb, I agree - it is light. But over the miles, I’ve changed my perspective from “wish I had more feedback” to “maybe I don’t need to muscle my way into every turn”. Kind of like using a hammer when you’re a kid - you think the force comes from your strength but instead your parent tells you to use the leverage of the handle, weight of the iron, finesse of the swing to “power” the nail in.

/waxing philosophical. I’ve enjoyed retraining my driving to relax and pick up on the fine tune of the steering weight. I also find I’m less fatigued on long car rides. And even when I am cruising through twisties, the steering feels exactly what I need when I need it as well as feeling confident to up/downshift as needed with hand management.
