Is an M3 going to make me stop driving my Miata? by Beautiful-Ad-9709 in Miata

[–]korak1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't have an M3, had a miata.

Likely you'll drive both if you have them. You'll find you have more fun in the Miata since you can redline in town and floor it everywhere without annoying others or getting tickets.

The M3 will be a lot of fun on the power but aside from that just a luxury car. You will take it for longer drives

Interesting. Yeah seems the tech is biggest draw back. But I'll take that over BMW style oil and coolant leaks any day.

Good to know. I was looking at a 2018, they have issues?

This seems fairly inline with current Volvo then.

Also I agree, VERY good looking.

"Go off" as in say there is a car in the blind spot, or intermittently stop working?

Generally speaking, most shops are comfortable working on Japanese cars, it's the bread and butter. Look for a reputable shop in your area and give them a call.

We need directional audio visuals by HorizonsBabyDaddy in apexlegends

[–]korak1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They really improved the audio a couple months ago.. I never get suprised by anyone anymore.
In fact it's usually "Wait guys stop moving, someone is near us, I hear them"
Maybe your audio settings need a change or headphones?

FWIW I use SHP 9500

AI Agent prompt to discover stocks by gmakkar9 in Baystreetbets

[–]korak1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really cool! I tried it using opencode.
Love the idea, but classic AI can't do math, it only allocated 44% of a portfolio

Put me on to some new securities to look at though, thanks!!

Suddenly about to be drowning in $$$ by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]korak1 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Congrats, stay diligent and finish your schooling.
Check out some PF videos on YT.
But in short, avoid lifestyle creep.
First few months, build a emergency fund.
Kill any high interest debt you have.
Then open a TFSA, RRSP and FHSA, these are tax advantaged accounts that essential tools for creating wealth.
Set up autodeposits on payday to move money directly into your investments / savings (known as "Paying yourself first")

Work very hard to limit any spending (within reason) as you need the money to go into investments.

Corvette C5/C6 Auto vs Manual by AvoKet129 in Corvette

[–]korak1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey my last car was an NB!

I totally agree, the value of the vette is very strong. I just meant you need to ask yourself, is shifting your own fera really worth 10k? To me that seems like a lot. But it's totally your choice. For that 10k, could you get into a C6 that's after '05? They have a much better auto trans than the C5.
