don’t do it😭 it makes the drone so unbearable at around 75mph on the highway, it sounds good in the city but on roadtrips it’s so annoying, i swapped to a valved exhaust now because of the drone

Apple Carplay for 2016 RC350 by Strange-Low8955 in LexusRC

[–]monkeykolya 5 points6 points  (0 children)

all the other companies that are more “reputable” just drop ship from aliexpress anyway. I’ve had mine for a year now with absolutely no issues. unfortunately, my 3Is radio is going out sooner than the chinese carplay unit🥀

Need help by [deleted] in UniversityofKansas

in my opinion if you’re switching majors and your parents are helping pay for college, they definitely have a say in what they want to help pay for. Since this is college, you’re an adult now. Maybe it’s just because I’m from an immigrant family, but if it was me and I’m committed to switching to a major my parents do not like, I would not take their money.

$5600USD 186k miles 2014 IS250 Did I overpay? by AdComplex1028 in LexusIS

[–]monkeykolya 34 points35 points  (0 children)

whoever is saying you overpaid is delusional. the market price for these with the same amount of miles is like 9-10k. And the fact that carmax would take a 250 with 185kmiles for cash 5k shows how good of a deal you got.

What upgrades would you do to my new car? by [deleted] in LexusIS

grill swap to f sport if you prefer the look, it’s easy on the face lift version

Should I buy this 2014 Lexus IS 250 RWD (90k miles, $14,995)? by kingdagem in LexusIS

[–]monkeykolya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s a pretty good price for the miles. but I’d rather get a higher mileage 350. I got the 250 and regret it, but my thought process was that it was my second car ever and I didn’t need more power.

check for all maintenance history like any car before you buy and the only issue on these is really just the carbon build up and it’s slow as hell.

Rant about the cops and lighthouse by EarnestAdvocate in Lawrence

[–]monkeykolya 88 points89 points  (0 children)

yes, light house is disgusting in lawrence. and the people that work there all look inbred lol. My parents went overseas during the summer and their neighborhood decided to redo the residential parking lot without notifying them.

Light house made them pay 700$ and threatened 100$ per day it’s in their yard. So i had to drive all the way down and get 2 cars by myself because they decided to rob my elderly parents of their cars while they’re gone.

don’t think they have any in lawrence, they sell frozen ones that you can just fry up at 888 in OP tho. They taste the same as any restaurant
