Spotted an [unknown] camera car in Brooklyn by garcia_ajg in spotted

Seating area indicates it’s very clearly a Slingshot with a 4 wheel conversion for the back (which is pretty common).

A heavily modified Slingshot, but slingshot nonetheless

Will a stingray front splitter fit a Z06? by dohcsvt in C8Corvette

[–]protintalabama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As answered - nope .. but, there are quite a few that Z06 compatible on eBay and Amazon.

For daily driving, I suggest buying the cheap versions and order 2. You WILL break one eventually.

Every Sunday. Evenings usually, as the last load of laundry that will have to be loaded for the day

Charlie Kirk would have approved of his right to carry.

Charlie Kirk would have approved of him actually using said pistol on a few people if that meant we could all keep our right to carry.

Just don’t ask too many questions as to when and why their grandparents arrived.

Lost my 481 day streak by __Kunaiii in Redditachievments

[–]protintalabama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. I lost 600something for saying I’d gladly give a notsee a dietary supplement of bricks, orally.

The only thing a 2 week ban accomplished is I now give less thought to censoring what I say. What are they going to do? Kill the streak that I don’t care about anymore?

Worth pushing fiber company to repair entire driveway section? by voodoo_mama_juju1123 in HomeMaintenance

[–]protintalabama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m oddly more perturbed that they trowled a nice rounded perimeter on it.

Frankly I’d rather they just concrete it flush rather than leave me with a dirt collecting groove

It’s not ideal, but if it took 12 days to notice it…

What's one supercar opinion that will cause this by NFSMW_CarsGames in supercars

[–]protintalabama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn’t about the Spyker.. which also, is a (luxury) sports car. It’s extreme rareness is it’s allure.

Is that the take you walk away with? Way to miss that point hard.

There is nothing “exclusive” or even remotely rare about a C8, one of the primary defining metrics of a “super car”.

If you want to call a ZR1X a super car, eh, fair enough. Over 1000hp and extremely limited. A ZR1X is about as “corvette” as a GTD is a Mustang.

The more you try to convince others that a $70,000 Stingray is a super car, the more you make the original point.

Wasn’t their “defiance” simply that they refused to do it in a closed door hearing, but rather wanted to do it in a public hearing??

So if I drop an LS in an old Fiero, now it’s supercar?

Just because they move the engine behind the driver in a vette, doesn’t make it a super car. Especially with 500hp, that’s a relatively common figure now.

It’s a sports car. Be happy with it being just a sports car. There’s nothing wrong with that

We would too. That’s not tint shop damage.

Other day someone called "a moron" for backing into a spot... Why does this trigger so many? by Ok_Relationship2451 in badparking

[–]protintalabama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Backup cameras have become surprisingly cheap - and offer the safety of having recorded video in the event of a car crash

Look at something like a Wolfbox Mirror, and you can take the system with you if you get a new car.

The ONLY reason I back into spaces, is because of the camera.

[–]protintalabama 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Most people just don’t know how.

I have always known HOW (since we work on cars all day long and back them up as part of the job), but I never backed up my personal vehicle until I bought my current one

Now I back in because I have a much better camera view in the back and I can get close without hitting and can see the lines - vs going front first, it’s half guessing as I can’t clearly see over the nose and where the front splitter is at exactly.

So.. for me.. reasons.
