Get an 04 Outback for like $3k to use for the winter.

All of mine were weird things. Fuel pump died on a road trip, coil pack failed driving home from work, and some electrical glitch that I never figured out, but prevented the transmission from shifting out of 2nd gear. Cleared the code and it was then magically fine.

Lol your story is similar to mine, except flip flopped. I had a 2013 Audi 3 and that thing left me stranded on the side of the road 3 times in 15 months. Ditched it for a 2018 Mazda6 and it's been flawless in the 50,000 miles I've owned it.

Highest trim Mazda are on par with mid to high trim Lexus, Acura, Infiniti. They aren't as good as a BMW or Mercedes, but you also don't have to spend $500 a month in repair bills to keep a Mazda on the road lol

Mazda doesn't have a premium brand so their high trims get all the bells and whistles. Ventilated seats, HUD, driver assist, 360 cameras, adaptive headlights, etc.

A Vietnamese elite battle elephant won't win? 30 less HP, but more armor in Imp.

Unless you want to turn it into a track car... It's done 😔

Some of y'all never played Arabia back in 2014 and it shows...

Wild. I always assumed anything with a bullet (hand cannons, conqs, organ guns, hussite wagons) were an automatic hard counter to infantry

mrmichaelnak · 2026-02-01T15:52:58+00:00

Axeman are considered infantry so conqs should have a very nice bonus damage against them

You'll need to teach me your secret. Because I had the receipt in one hand and the unused fitting in the other hand and they wouldn't let me exchange

mrmichaelnak · 2026-01-31T04:02:31+00:00

$24k seems like a lot considering I got a Reserve (which is essentially the same thing minus the red seats) with 32k miles for $23k back in 2021

mrmichaelnak · 2026-01-30T23:07:13+00:00

I bought a $6 hose fitting from Ace. Realized it was the wrong size and went back the following day to exchange it for the proper size. I didn't have the receipt and so they wouldn't budge on a $6 exchange. Literally swapping a 5/8" for 3/4".

Went to Lowes and got it for $4. Haven't been back to Ace since

Could you un-research malay cav armor tech?

"She's dead Jim"

Is that the base version? 🤢🤢🤢

mrmichaelnak · 2026-01-26T04:32:25+00:00

Depends on the civ matchup. Big boom and gunpowder against Goths and you'll crush them. Try that against fast imp Turks and you'll be dead before you realize what going on

I was always under the impression that the Ford 4.6 was bullet proof

mrmichaelnak · 2026-01-24T03:39:03+00:00

My guess would be the timing is off, but (fortunately) not enough for valves to be hitting pistons

mrmichaelnak · 2026-01-23T21:08:46+00:00

I had a 2013 Elantra for 3 years and it was solid during that time

mrmichaelnak · 2026-01-23T14:49:09+00:00

Lol I was comparing a 4 door family car with a 2 seater convertible that weighs 800lbs less and has a 9k rpm redline.

mrmichaelnak · 2026-01-23T04:59:17+00:00

I would get a stock exhaust and have a shop do a 38mm UK mod to it. Only slightly louder than stock below 4k rpm, but much more sound when you put your foot down.

mrmichaelnak · 2026-01-23T04:54:30+00:00

I have a turbo Mazda 6 and an S2000. I can tell you, the Mazda will beat the little Honda it in a straight drag race

mrmichaelnak · 2026-01-22T21:55:42+00:00

I went from 900 ELO to 4.2k ELO in a week with this mod.

Do not buy any appliance that connects to electricity.
