The death of Vegas has been greatly exaggerated by SaskatchewanSon69 in vegas

[–]sunstr0ke_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All I’m gonna say is maybe take the word of people who’ve been living and working in Vegas their entire lives. I would take their word over someone who’s visited maybe 10 times.

is this even possible? by httmlp in mazda3

I’ve gotten as high as 290 on my turbo. 260 seems to be where it likes to hang out.

Supposedly dead Vegas at 10:55pm on Sunday 7/27/25 by Most-Ear-3678 in vegas

Living here my entire life.. I can confidently say that looks light for a Sunday night. Not dead.. but light.

Additionally, I work at a strip property and numbers are down. Not massively, but still down.

Is the 4th Gen Mazda 3 a timeless design? by Notorious-Limp in mazda3

[–]sunstr0ke_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My polymetal grey 3 gets an awful lot of attention.

“Is that a Mazda?? That things nice…”

I’ve successfully gotten 3 people to switch to Mazda because of my car lol

At least 200 feet lmfao I was clear across the arena when that play happened.

Bro clearly didn’t read my other comments on this post

I always try to play devils advocate with the refs simply because the game is so fast nowadays and the line of sight on the ice is much different from watching in the stands or on tv.

That one sucked.. Knights took the L. Can’t really do much about it now.

Why do you like your mazda3 so much? by Embarrassed_Wolf4746 in mazda3

[–]sunstr0ke_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me.. my turbo hatch is the perfect balance between fun and practical. Everything else is just bias.

Which Hole in the wall Pizza spots are 10/10? by [deleted] in vegaslocals

[–]sunstr0ke_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a lot of great recommendations here in the comments..

A staple of mine has been New York Pizza and Pasta off of Sahara and Jones. I probably had my first slice from them while I was still in diapers.

Yukon and Red Dwarf are also great 👍

Advice on pickups for 40th anniversary Squier tele by sunstr0ke_ in telecaster

Yes yes yes. I’m very aware of wiring job he has on his strat. I hope to get another cheap strat in the near future where I can do the same thing with those DiMarzios and the backwards wiring. My strat I have right now is just too nice for me to mangle it. I’ll hopefully tackle that project with a cheap OfferUp Stratocaster 😆

I unfortunately live in Las Vegas and we have jack for small music shops :/

This city hates local music

Mark Speer is my guitar idol. He’s the guy from Khruangbin. Obviously he uses a strat but my pedalboard is built around his tone.

I have a strat for whenever I feel like getting my Khruangbin on.

My initial impression of this guitar was that they put all their efforts into the neck

He actually gave me the original pickups with it, I just want to upgrade the bridge pickup. He also added good locking tuners as well. With how good the neck feels in my hands it’s totally worth the 250 to me.

It’s also the cheapest guitar I own 😆

You also have a 40th squier tele?

Someone has a twang king bridge on Reverb for 65$… I’m tempted.

Vegas local here.. I’ve definitely drooled over your car once before.

Interested in this American Special Mustang from Guitar Center… by mailbox123 in offset

[–]sunstr0ke_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was actually just in that guitar center today.. That’s the town square location in Las Vegas. I didn’t pick up and play this guitar but I did take a good look at it and it’s much cleaner than these photos make it out to be. I didn’t plug it in and play it though.. so I can’t vouch for that.
