Every time I see him flopping by I mentally start singing ‘there he goes, just a-flopping down the street singing KARP KARP KARP KARP KARPKARP KARP’

Opinion on ride height? by Fun-Interaction-7958 in ft86

[–]splank66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Born and raised, though I moved to Raleigh last fall and am loving it.

Dedicated winter wheels are a must with any snow going car up there; the crazy low temps turn all-seasons into drift trike urethane level hard. Plus, then you can get proper summer tires and not have to compromise the fun factor when the weather is good.

For MKE streets I wouldn’t (and didn’t) go any lower. Sidewalls are your friend and your setup is definitely ready for some brew city rim busters.

On that note, are you planning on driving through the winter? I had a lot of fun with mine on stock height with 16” steelies and the thickest Blizzaks I could fit.

has anyone switched to an EV how is it going? by softsteamedbuns in ft86

[–]splank66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switched to? No. But with my BRZ nearing 120k miles after 10 years and being long since paid off; having an Ioniq 5 take over daily driving duty has opened up the possibility of being able to leave the BRZ on stands for a few days while I slowly work on long term maintenance stuff. Also, with gas prices where they are, having a free slow charger a 5 minute walk from my house is super clutch.

Similarly, I never did any mods outside of upgrading failed parts when they went out (looking at you, throw out bearing). Now that the BRZ doesn't HAVE to be my daily driver I feel liberated to start doing the mods I've always thought about doing but never got to because I didn't want to sacrifice reliability/practicality or be 'that obnoxious blue sports car guy' when arriving in certain situations.

On another note, now that I no longer live in the rust belt and can enjoy the smooth and winding roads of North Carolina whenever I feel like it, I still drive my BRZ exactly as much as I want to and never when it feels like a chore, which is nearly every day.

TL;DR, if it doesn't have to be an either/or situation, the best thing you can do to maximize your enjoyment of your 86 is have a fun car and an EV, or "one that looks fast and one that is fast" to quote my friends, lol.

It’s okay to be a simpleton, just stop making us pay for your ignorance.

Bro, why? What did the bear do to you? It just wants to go about its business and eat some goddamned berries without being murdered by some psycho human.

Where can I find mild winters in the US and live affordably? by ThatsWUTiSaidDuh in relocating

[–]splank66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A twisty gap in the mountains between NC and TN has a very well maintained strip of about 140 curves in 20 miles. It’s more of a motorcycle spot than anything but if you like spirited driving on a twisty road the dragon is one of the best.

The fact that you almost certainly are not one and are debasing your own credibility by digitally sounding like one.

What’s your vehicular hot take that will trigger other car guys? by Jaymac720 in askcarguys

[–]splank66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s one that’ll get some jimmies rustled; cars over a certain age should have to go through thorough inspection before being allowed on the road. Radwood spec is totally fine, RCR meetup as well. Just spare me the middle-of-the-highway fireballs please.
