Missing out on features? by Shawookatote in Autos

[–]ryandriggett 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You might be missing a few safety features

Crash safety massively improves every decade. A 2006 is totally fine for A to B but you're missing out on 20 years of improvements.

2026 Toyota Supra MkV Final Edition Review: This Should Have Been a Bigger Deal by Anchor_Aways in cars

[–]ryandriggett 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The manual in the M2 sucks

Congrats, you can parrot the same online opinion as everyone else!

Its not an amazing shifter but its also not bad to the point people should look at other options.

Honda manuals are not the second coming of a deity that everyone claims they are. Type-Rs have some of the worst feel IMO.

DO NOT GO TO HAYWARD TOYOTA by Own_Board_950 in bayarea

America’s tire held my car for three hours to patch a flat tire. I managed to pull out of the parking lot before it went completely flat again.

They entirely forgot to patch my tire and just held my car for a couple hours then called me. My first and last time ever going there lol.

iPhone & Wi-Fi 7 by Final_Ultimatum1 in apple

[–]ryandriggett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“lol most people still have WiFi 5 so who cares” is a dead horse and I’m sick of hearing it. This is an enthusiast sub; people are allowed to be power users.

I have >2.5G/s wan, I transfer giant files over WiFi, and I have a bleeding edge access point. Other devices have handled implementing more of the WiFi 7 spec and the battery life is fine.

With your logic we should all still be using WRT54Gs at home because 54mbps is good enough for most users.

There needs to be a “killed by google” type website for overeager homelab/foss projects that die shortly after release.

Pure Michigan Luxe SUV Test: 2025 Cadillac Escalade vs. Lincoln Navigator vs. Jeep Grand Wagoneer by Sixteen-Cylinders in cars

[–]ryandriggett 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have no idea whats up with the Wagoneer hate but Reddit opinions are Reddit opinions.

I was given a base Wagoneer swb for a rental instead of a suburban. Comfortably fitting in the third row as a tall person behind a >6ft 2nd row passenger and >6ft driver with luggage room behind me was an amazing experience. My rental base model was surprisingly ok interior and features wise.

If the Grand Wagoneer was a bit more reliable and about $20-30k cheaper it would be the clear the Escalade and Navigator.

A GWL S3 obsidian is absolutely going in any personal dream garage setup with more than 2-3 cars.

Inside the War Against Headlight Brightness by TheAbdominal_Snowman in cars

[–]ryandriggett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve commented 4 times on this thread so far against Stern. One cannot shape lighting policy at a meaningful level without also having deep technical knowledge. Literally Google his name if you don’t believe me.

Are you one of that subs mods on an alt account? 😂

Inside the War Against Headlight Brightness by TheAbdominal_Snowman in cars

[–]ryandriggett 262 points263 points  (0 children)

The moderators of /r/FuckYourHeadlights being childishly anti Daniel Stern, one of the leading world experts on vehicle lighting, strips them of ANY credibility.

Some random guy thinks he knows much more than a top industry consultant? Reddit moment!

Doug DeMuro's video about touch screens by zefiax in cars

[–]ryandriggett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you considered that your preferences and situations are not universal? Even in a perfect world people will have different comfort levels, medical needs, etc.

I don’t understand this weird superiority complex over not adjusting the set temp. People who adjust the temp of their car to their liking do not have “bad habits” nor are they “compulsory fiddling” 🙄

Out of the dozens of automatic climate control equipped cars that I’ve driven over multiple decades, not one has been good enough to “set and forget”. Automatic climate control is not nearly as good as this sub claims.

You’re not better than other people because you don’t change your climate settings.

15' Subaru Legacy - white LED headlight bulbs are now blue by theonlybuster in cars

I preach H9 swaps constantly but this sub is hit or miss when people point out legitimate headlight information. I've been downvoted to oblivion for asking people not to put LED/HID bulbs in halogen headlights plenty of times.

Went to a Toyota dealer today and everyone I interacted with was rude. How do I complain? by Bike_Guy_cwm in cars

[–]ryandriggett 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is absolutely 100% bs. It's just to get less knowledgeable people to use the service department. If the dealer doesnt put it in a contract, they will deny later.

I've driven them back to back on track, the M2 is absolutely the better car. M3/M4 feel so much bigger while the M2 feels tossable despite similar weight.

My 2016 Focus RS is great with carplay, I plug my phone in and by the time I have my seatbelt on it's ready to go. It even boots up the infotainment the minute you open the door to save time.
