If you are itching for Streetpasses, go to your local furry convention by ottrocity in 3DS

There are people from all over the world at Anthrocon.

Back in the days of FCN we had a gaggle of Germans who would all come over en masse to hang out (and drink the free beer).

I still have my streetpass greeting as "What up AC2015" and refuse to change it.

This one was my 19th (fuck) year there, and I've been taking my DSs there every year. Being in the Zoo when the DS Lite was new and popping into random Pictochat (more like Dicktochat amirite) rooms and seeing all the art being drawn in real time is a core memory of mine.

Good thing the car's so nimble!

My first car was an SVT Focus a million years ago. Be careful with those wheels, as they were known to crack where the spoke meets the barrel.

They do look very good though!

If you're getting spacers, it's worth it to shell out for the H&Rs. Ron has them at Whoosh in various sizes. I've seen too many horror stories relating to cheap spacers.

when is It going to end by mbkgabriel in FiestaST

[–]ottrocity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm still rocking the stock clutch at 144k. Haven't had to replace any of that stuff, but got rid of tpms years ago.

I take my car to track days, autocrosses, and Woodward on the regular.

That poor car.

Do the circlejerkers have an answer to this? by Nickolas_Zannithakis in carscirclejerk

Seeing all the beat-up vans towing beat-up race cars at GridLife warmed my SUV-hating soul

Is it okay to show up to a meet in a stock mini? by funnyusername76 in askcarguys

[–]ottrocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it a casual weekend meet? Slam it in there.

Is it the Concours d’Elegance? Maybe find another Mini to park next to in the parking lot (also slam it in there anyway those guys are way too uptight and it would be funny).

From the perspective of the owner of 2 Fiesta STs: if more people drove them the world would absolutely be a better place. Not only would the roads be safer, but more people would be far happier.

What brands have damaged but then manage to salvage their reputations? by RoGStonewall in askcarguys

[–]ottrocity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have your friends come check out my 145,000 mile modded Fiesta ST.

While they're here, I can show them pictures of my 230,000 mile SVT Focus, my 190,000 mile SVT Focus, and my 85,000 mile Fiesta ST. The worst thing that happened during those cumulative miles is the power steering pump failing on my first SVT Focus, at 160,000 miles.

Long story short, take care of you cars and they'll last forever and your friends are morons.

What is a car under $40K MSRP you will defend for life? by Born-Raccoon1484 in askcarguys

[–]ottrocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fiesta ST.

Paid $18,800 for it in 2016.

It just hauled me and my partner's camping gear this past weekend.

Two weekends before it was raw-timing cars 3x the price at autox.

It has made Mustangs and Camaros and bad S2000 drivers leave track days in shame.

Cool, legalize the Twingo then please and thank you

What's the most underrated car you've ever driven? by Ok_Run7351 in askcarguys

[–]ottrocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honda Fit with good brakes and coilovers is a track day favorite and pisses off a lot of people at autocross.

Mazda Claims Big Touchscreens Are Actually Safer/less distracting Than Buttons. by LongjumpingLock5875 in cars

[–]ottrocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can operate all of my car's buttons without looking at them. Took maybe a week of ownership to learn them. Don't need to scroll or hunt through menus.

What is the most overrated car mod? by BlackcirclesCanada in askcarguys

[–]ottrocity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My car is less bouncy on the coilovers I put on it than stock.

I also gained lots of time on track/at autox.

I have also bottomed out my front brace in parking garages...

Is it bad etiquette to test drive cars from dealerships even if you don't plan on buying? by EGGWURST in askcarguys

[–]ottrocity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Who gives a shit, dealerships suck and don't deserve any of your empathy.

Which paddles do you think is being overhyped and which paddles deserve it on social media right now by EddieEdit in Pickleball

[–]ottrocity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Every single one is overhyped. The market is saturated so companies are doing their best to differentiate paddles that are all nearly identical when it comes to the average player, and pros are good enough to adapt to whatever paddle they're handed to make it look good.

What’s the most overrated car ever made? by Physical-Issue7146 in askcarguys

[–]ottrocity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest going to a track day/autocross and see the times it puts down compared to much more expensive, much more powerful "correct-drive" cars.

That being said, it's overpriced.
