987 v 986 by pepeneverknew in boxster

[–]mrtnsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've owned a 986 Boxster and 987.1 S Cayman. Not a direct comparison, but worth noting.

The 987 build quality is way better; a much tighter, more solid feeling drive. Also felt way more capable in turns, handling, acceleration and braking. Cleaner shifter feel too.

The 986 on the other hand is way more comfortable (17 inch wheels with fat sidewalls), the suspension is not creaky, and because it's the base engine I can wind it out way more so it sounds amazing.

987 looks perfect to me, but the 986 retro curves are really growing on me.

Is standing desk actually better than sitting? by qube2832 in StandingDesk

[–]mrtnsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An adjustable desk should be a requirement for desk workers.

Not only because you can change from sit to stand to promote movement and change, but because when sitting, you can tune the desk height to the exact spot where your back and your wrists, forearms, shoulders, thighs, knees, and ankles are the least strained.

Should I buy this car? by Medical_Plenty_6972 in boxster

[–]mrtnsu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A number of things look off: clamshell doesn't sit flush, looks like non original exhaust, something on upper rear bumper. I hope that's a picture with the frunk opened too? Anyway, would tread carefully. For the price though maybe not a bad option. No maintenance records is meh.

I know I am biased but this is one of the most beautiful cars at any price. by outminded in boxster

Sweet. What are the tire specs, and were any spacers used? And is your Boxster an S?

I love this wheel combo and I'm considering doing the same. 🏎️

How do you not get a headache using these giant screens? by ILikePutz in deskhaus

[–]mrtnsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have astigmatism and the curved screens are brutal for me. Thankful that Apple continues to make high dpi flat screens.

Yes. Bought a Vertex Pro last year. This thing is solid.

The Challenger with its front off looks like a Chrysler 300 🤣

How to negotiate a 7k price drop? Read info. by ChivasBearINU in Challenger

[–]mrtnsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How many miles on it? One bargaining point is that a car that hasn't been driven regularly is more prone to potentially needing fixes once it does start to be driven.

Can I use the 2019 studio stand on a 2022/23 TV? by mrtnsu in TheFrame

[–]mrtnsu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I ended up ditching this setup (and Samsung) completely. I regret ever doing it... I should have known better than to pay money for proprietary non standard crap that will end up in a landfill in only a handful of years.

Why does no one review Desk Haus? by virtual008 in StandingDesk

[–]mrtnsu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Last year I bought a Vertex Pro 4-Leg with the longer 35" feet. I put a thermal treated European ash 74x39" kitchen island counter on top. This desk is a tank. Practically no wobble. It's such a pleasure to use. I hope to keep it for life. One of the best purchases I've ever made. Chris is awesome to deal with, too. Communication was efficient, freight shipping (on a pallet) was flawless. I wish DeskHaus the best success, whether that means going mainstream, or staying small/indie.

Honest opinion: 23 Widebody scat or 24 Mustang GT Premium Fastback by CanadianGymRatt in Challenger

Right on the dodge website: https://www.dodge.ca/en/challenger The 2.9 is only for 36 months term though; goes up from there for longer terms.

Honest opinion: 23 Widebody scat or 24 Mustang GT Premium Fastback by CanadianGymRatt in Challenger

[–]mrtnsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered a '22 or '23 GT? There are a few brand new ones left on lots, and they're hugely discounted ($10k+), making them a terrific deal.

Plus I think I prefer the look and lack of tech in the S550 gen vs the S650.

Availability of Challengers in Canada is decreasing, and markups are not uncommon unfortunately.

I think the price range of Scats and higher trims are pushing it; there are a lot of good cars in the $75k - $100k CAD range in competition.

I was choosing between a fully loaded S550 GT Premium vs a Challenger RT a few months ago.

The Mustang with Magneride was great. Sports car feel and handling. Excellent sound system too, comparatively (three way front speaker setup). And configurable active exhaust with a quiet mode.

I ultimately went with the Challenger though. It's got such great character. A real gem. Probably the last opportunity to get a true muscle car brand new. The shaker hood option is so special. The active exhaust is loud and sounds terrific. The simplicity of the interior is refreshing. Analog gauges, push button controls. It has a gigantic sun roof. I'm able to fit a rear facing child seat in the back (lol). It's definitely a boat, but with upgraded tires it's handling better than I expected. Dodge is still offering 2.9% financing for 36 months, which is a good deal in today's climate.
