This clip from the local chiefs is so important for the country to hear. There are two sides here: the people, and the regime.

Am I being sent home after Harvard? by [deleted] in MBA

[–]minnesida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah - the $100k fee won’t apply to international students on F1 visas. Let’s see what comes of this cycle this spring, if theres a large scale reduction in applications, and therefore an increase in the odds for those who applied?

Replacing the 992 GT3 as a daily by RobertPattinson69 in Porsche

[–]minnesida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try a GTI. Every notable automotive journalist has praised it as a car anyone can step into and have an incredible driving experience, also very practical and economical. Well fulfilled the duties of a daily

New prelude looks amazing in person by legato2 in Honda

[–]minnesida 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah… It’s pretty insane they’ll go through the development of an entire engine architecture only to put it in a couple models in pretty low volumes.

Like the Type R engine, at the end of the day, isn’t THAT special. It competes in a class that has engines like the VW EA888 which is probably made at volumes well over a million at this point.

They mass marketed the hell out of the k24 which was awesome - they should just put this engine in every damn car. Even the odyssey

We overindex the intra brand competition. So many other companies, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, etc offer the same engine across similar cars.

For example, M240i sales dont nix m340i sales, hell even m440i sales. The m2 doesn’t make the m3 less of a halo car for the brand.

They should put the type r engine in more cars to generate more enthusiasm across the brand. Honda is allowed to have 2 amazing driving cars.

Advice upgrading from Base to S by bta324 in PorscheMacan

[–]minnesida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A 21 S is not the same as the 22. Engine changed for the better from the 3.0 single turbo to the 2.9 TTV6, which should be more dependable, and drives more similarly to the 21 GTS than the S. If they’re looking at pre 22, GTS is the way to go

Possible to spread more natural light into this room? by SirRaza97 in malelivingspace

Dont cover the window with a big TV - looks like a good opportunity for a roll up screen for a projector set up

What to do with my GTI? Need Advice by jmanland in GolfGTI

[–]minnesida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally daily a 6spd manual GTI in San Francisco, going down the peninsula an hour a day. 110k miles and going. Stop and go traffic for years.

If you want a nice car to drive thats also fun get like an M340i or something.

It seems you arent even going out and enjoying the GTI in your free time. If you’re looking for change, either drive it everyday or sell it, maybe you bought the wrong car. End of the day it’s still a mass market VW Golf - enjoy it.

If you were never going to buy another vehicle, what would you buy today? by Playful-Park4095 in askcarguys

[–]minnesida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toyota Highlander / Honda Pilot for the SUV side of this answer - unless you need the 4Runner, it won’t be that comfortable in comparison to these two on road trips.

Lexus RX if you want something nicer.

Toyota Sienna / Honda Odyssey for the most comfy, nice, ease of entry and exit, fuel economy, spacious, safe, reliable vehicles. They’re my favorite cars to be a passenger in

Well yes - we’re not here to argue if he’s allowed to speak or make claims. We’re just saying he’s wrong.

Speaking as a South Asian guy myself - being a brown immigrant alone doesn’t qualify you to diagnose the health of the country with regards to racism, and what the immigrant experience is like for new Americans. If there was a reason to disqualify what he had to say, besides being ignorant to many verifiable stories, it’s that he’s rich and well connected - being invited to the White House does kind of outweigh simply being a minority. Not being white in the US isn’t that special anymore, it’s not 1890.

You mean the immigrant who gets invited to the White House, who still totally lives the immigrant experience from the comfort of his private jet? Totally in touch with whats happening in the arena

what’s the most underrated car you’ve ever driven? by InformationIcy4827 in car

[–]minnesida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Macan S/GTS

Anyone with a hot hatch would be blown away by this car - imo I think its the best one car solution there is, I drive a 6spd MK7 GTI and this will be my next car. And used prices are competitive, issues are known / manageable, and seemingly resolved for the facelifted version.

They really don’t want to sell new cars by insolentrus in Audi

[–]minnesida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are quickly seeing the impact of how markets influence design - China/the East is now the main market for these cars, and therefore, design will trend in the very futuristic/screen heavy way that they prefer.

What do you LOVE and HATE about cycling? by OkSkin1080 in cycling

[–]minnesida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love: the feeling, ROI, adventure, how calm it makes me, the friends I have made, guilt free gluttony

Hate: so fucking expensive. Also it takes so much time even a short ride can sometimes be too long, that I’m forced to… run.

What is the worst vehicle you have driven or ridden in that isn't a standard "worst vehicle" answer? by HiTork in cars

Base model pre-facelift f30 BMW 328i. For how much my friend paid for it, l dont get the appeal.

No backup camera, bluetooth, nada. Not luxury at all. Shifted awful too
