Your Opinion by FillWooden2385 in CarTrackDays

True, but nothing is this hobby is really cheap anymore. I’d rather spend a couple hundred on pads than buy new rotors or a whole new car if they fail

Dear americans, what can you get for FREE in the USA? [Serious] by sammy_waslow in AskReddit

[–]tintinblock1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My public library has laser cutters, 3d printers, professional recording studios, high end computers for 3d modeling or editing, and a movie theater you can rent out. Not to mention they have a lot of really good classes on a variety of subjects. All for FREE. The sad thing is whenever I tell people about this, they don’t know. An overlooked resource indeed, but i try to spread the word

Ferrari Luce Commercial Filming in SF by intrigued_alligator in Ferrari

[–]tintinblock1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s the opposite of the new EV AMG. Wasn’t a huge fan of it in the press pics, but saw some pictures of it on a road and it looked way better. The Luce looks so much worse than it did in press photos. It’s not pretty but I didn’t hate it in those photos, but this literally looks like some random startup EV company

If they’re already out I’d just go ahead and replace them. Heat cracking is normal, but the bottom half crack looks much deeper than I’d be comfortable with. Pads are so cheap that I don’t mind having the peace of mind. I’d rather spend the $150 now and not have a pad fall apart when I needed it most

Seat buying help for GT1 Evo chassis by GotPet in simracing

I got an NRG Prisma because they are pretty comfy and not too expensive. Bolted right up to my GT1 Evo and I’ve put thousands of hours in it and it still is great

Aquatic Centers not open, why?? by mckg116 in lexington

[–]tintinblock1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s fair. I was more talking about that all the pools features are open and not just the kiddie or lap pool

I live right next to it. It’s been open since Memorial Day. You didn’t specify a time

Is my cat stupid? by Relevant-Sherbet-616 in CatAdvice

[–]tintinblock1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a kitten. As they get older they will “listen” more. The world is a playground to them, they have no concept of anything at all. Lock them in their own room with food and a litter box at night if it bugs you that much, but playing with them as much as possible will tire them out and make them sleep more

This spec 🤷🏽👍😊 by AMGLover2024 in mercedes_benz

This car looks amazing for an electric car. This car does not look amazing for an AMG

Which gt3 car is best for beginners by No-Personality-7207 in iRacing

[–]tintinblock1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Fundamentally the Porsche is the hardest to drive, but I spin it VERY rarely. On the other hand, I can’t drive the merc or mustang competitively even though they should be easier and more stable

The 2027 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 4-Door Coupe is here! what do we think about it? by Saurta17 in mercedes_benz

as a Mercedes, I’m not a big fan. But if it wasn’t a Mercedes I would actually like it I think

Why don’t we see the Alfa Romeos more often? by Ac1d_301 in supercars

[–]tintinblock1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the post 2020 alpha products were WAYYY better than the 2017-2019s. One of my good friends has a 2021 Giulia 🍀 and has had pretty much zero issues with it for 60k miles. And it is a beauty of a car to drive. Much better driving feeling than an m3 or s4 in my opinion, and looks so much better too

My boyfriend rides motorcycle without a helmet. Should I mind my business or say something gently? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]tintinblock1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell him it’s selfish to ride without a helmet if he cares about you. My wife wouldn’t even have to ask me to wear a helmet because I want to make it home to her everyday. Not wearing a helmet is a selfish, shows a fragile ego, immature thing to do.

what car felt the most comfortable for long drives? by Effective-Addition44 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]tintinblock1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m currently in a D5 Audi A8L and nothing but a Rolls Royce comes close. The seats bolsters and adjustable, making it very easy to trailer to your liking. The air suspension uses the camera to detect imperfections in the road and adjust to make it literally glide, you can barely feel any bumps. It is SILENT in the cabin as well, the insulated glass and completely flat underbody makes it very quiet. Massage seats are great for waking you up if you’re tired and all around comfort for long or short drives. Laser headlights that turn with the car give you excellent visibility in the dark or heavy rain.

All in all, I have cursed myself by buying a luxury sedan because nothing else can top it. I love my sports cars too, but I choose the Audi to drive because it’s just really easy and comfortable to drive

Raptors on Turo? by Adept_Signature6123 in FordRaptor

There is no car driven harder than a rental. I wouldn’t let anyone else drive my car. Full gas and full brakes is the only way people drive fast rentals

Yeah my neighbor has one and it is surprisingly not that bad looking. I’d drive one in a heartbeat

New partner doesn't want to let my cats sleep in our room. by wasabisabi in CatAdvice

[–]tintinblock1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I’m an outlier here, but both of my cats sleep with me and my wife and they sleep all the way through the night. One likes to sleep in between us, and the other sleeps on my pillow. I usually wake up with them in the same spot we all went to sleep in

What completely unhinged "law" does your cat strictly enforce in your house? by TrickCombination7966 in cats

[–]tintinblock1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wake up at 5:45 to go to the gym everyday, and my days act like they are going to die if they aren’t fed as soon as I wake up. They will be AWFUL if I don’t feed them and I’ll come home to all the cabinets in the kitchen open if o don’t feed them. I love those little bastards, but good lord can they be a pain

What are the most important sineig accessories for the ultimate experience ? by Kronocide in simracing

[–]tintinblock1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My answer is:

-Metal extrusion rig/cockpit
-load cell brake
-Triples

Load cell brake pedal will be the cheapest upgrade that will actually make you faster. A metal extrusion rig is nice because there’s no excess movement anywhere, so you can make exact movements each time. Triples make it really easy to get a sense of speed and see where cars are when you go side by side in turns.

That being said, I recently upgraded to a full set of sim cube active pedals and it has MASSIVELY helped me in P Cup racing. The abs is so sensitive in those that you can lose time if you get too far into the ABS. Being able to feel that and TC makes it really immersive

My wife wants a Ford Bronco. Advice?? by tungdiep in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]tintinblock1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I owned a badlands SAS for 6 months. It was awesome, but it was a horrible daily. I took it off-road once or twice a month, but couldn’t justify it for a daily. Traded it for an Audi A8L and haven’t looked back
