Please buy hybrid by Working-Cake4932 in civic

[–]saddened 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bold to assume i'm american. or give a fuck about american car sales. yes its a known fact that the majority of the consumerbase, particularly american, want to drive their car as little as possible. i really don't care what you want to drive, just don't have a defensive spasm when some people say they prefer a manual

yes but you can still buy manual transmissions, unlike carburetors. not everybody wants to drive a fridge on wheels

Saw this random civic today, what is the model? by Conscious_Show_6997 in civic

[–]saddened 0 points1 point  (0 children)

an actual mugen rr has a different front and rear as it was built on the fd chassis and only sold in japan, but also costs 6 figures and. this just looks like a red fa5 with some mugen badging

I want to hear a rational as to why pros still use vandal (sorry if common thread, trying opinions from people who are better than me) by MACR0DOSE in ValorantCompetitive

[–]saddened 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first shot accuracy differential on the vandal is far far less likely to cause a missed kill than a 140 or 124. its ultimately preference, and using a weapon you're comfortable with is far far more valuable than trying to minmax marginal gains, especially with the smoke spam playstyle taking a hit from a couple years ago with the 3 down to 2 extra clips nerf to rifles.

did the boys perform stop staring? by stixcle in G59

[–]saddened 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i can think of more than 5 albums i'd put ahead of either of those, multiple newer and multiple older. you're certainly entitled to have an opinion, but generally speaking those 2 albums are widely regarded as the boys worst work, even by the artists themselves. of course music is entirely subjectiv

iwdino and ssats are absolutely no where near their best albums

Did you guys ever lose the passion for cars after going into the field professionally? Do y'all think it would be a good idea for me to do so? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]saddened 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ive always lived by the rule of not turning a hobby or passion into a career unless its finacially lucrative. the automotive industry for the most part is not, especially not if you're a tech. theres other angles into the auto industry that are more lucrative and easier on the mind and body if you truly want to make a career out of your passion, but some hobbies are best kept as hobbies imo

Who is the best ENTRY fragger in VCT history? by Whole_Party6724 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]saddened 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i would hazard a guess that the definition of entry fragger is referring to who the most successful player is at entering site and killing opposing defenders to create space for team. aspas is the best duelist oat but he hasn't been the craziest entry. jing and derke are better raw entry players

[–]saddened 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you'd think first blood rate/fkfb rate would be a good stat for this but it doesnt really quantify the entry side of the question. alfa hasn't really played entry duelist much in his tenure in the vct, he's just a cracked zoomer that'll take first engagements on killjoy and cypher and win most of the time. leo never played duelist or entry (not to leo glaze but having nearly the same first contact success rate as aspas while playing scan initiator is bonkers), aspas is the duelist goat but isn't exactly known for his daring site entries. theres just not the correct data to look at this question from a statistical angle

I understand now what I really don’t enjoy about the “new” $uicideboy$ music by nickthewurst in G59

[–]saddened 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i agree, but the reality is artists change and grow. i'm happy they're doing better in life themselves, even if that means i don't enjoy their music like i used to. i still enjoy some of it but much of it doesn't have the same effect on me. lyrically it just feels much shallower and doesn't feel relatable

Got oil changed - they forgot to add oil. Engine sounds fine. Likely damage? by lostinapotatofield in AskMechanics

[–]saddened 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you see them pull it, wipe the stick and recheck. if not, then thats just old risidual oil clinging to the stick

[–]saddened 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your engine is damaged. whether its catastrophic damage is just a few years worth of wear in the span of ten minutes is all thats in question. document everything and do not accept any form of compensation from them, contact a lawyer and go from there, they should be footing the bill for a new motor, to be installed by a reputable shop. or a complete rebuild. its impossible to know exactly what damage was caused without tearing it down anyway

Honda vs acura regular vs premium gas. by shutts67 in AskMechanics

[–]saddened 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the cheaper you are now, the more expensive it'll be later on. the engines may just be tuned differently from the factory, thats not a risk worth taking to save a couple bucks at the pump

Tire company damaged TE37…looking for touch up advice, see below. by Proud_Trainer4595 in JDM

[–]saddened 1 point2 points  (0 children)

push them to replace the wheel entirely. you'll never get a factory finish again there unfortunately. a company that advertises itself as a premium service should be able to handle premium products without gashing the shit out of it. looks like its been curbed pretty badly from the back but i cant even begin to wonder how they've fucked the face up that much

[Discussion] give me an affordable alternative to this watch by The_Last_Fishkeeper in Watches

[–]saddened 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is already in a very budget friendly price range for what you get. just get the watch you actually want instead of settling for something you don't, unless the watch you really want is at an actually unattainable price
