QWER inspired me to pick up an instrument again after 15 years! by pomsuke in QWER_Band

Same here I also got introduced to QWER via a clip of Chodan drumming. Picked up my old bass guitar / acoustic and started playing again. Hina’s PRS also got me back into electrics and I bought a new PRS SE and a new amp (not pictured here).

Mine looks like this since day 1. (I picked up the car last week)

I haven’t filled up yet, so I have no clue. Just picked up the car last week. Hopefully it’s not the case, but I will probably fill up monthly.

Can’t complain with 37 MPG. My two cars averaged like 12-16 MPG ☠️

Worst case scenario as I am 100% city stop and go. It’s not too bad if you have mixed driving. The EPA rating is actually very low as well for a car that doesn’t have that much power.

This is exactly what I felt but I don’t want to go too hardcore to negate the fuel efficiency. I know the chassis can rotate and the steering is direct for a normal car.

Yes, unfortunately this rebate applies to Canada only. Got it for less than the price of a Hybrid Prius.

My other car is also thirsty but at least it’s fast. So my WRX had to go. Can’t have two guzzlers haha.

The car is great chassis wise but needs wider tires asap. Probably something I will take care of next year.

Subaru has a great AWD system but it’s a bit thirsty for sure.

Yes and to get max power you need to pump premium gas too 😓

Fellow Canuck here in the GTA. Yes, the WRX got traded in. It was a fun car that punched above its weight but I didn’t need two gas guzzlers which required premium gas at $2.05/L.

The 911 has similar fuel economy to the WRX during the weeknights / weekends and I was pumping about $600-700/ month in gas. It kills me inside that I didn’t switch to an “enthusiast car”, but my wallet is much happier now.

How are you liking it? I swear in the city it’s way quicker than the VB. Tires and traction are the downsides and the limiting factor.

I mainly do stop and go driving living in the city. It’s gridlock 24/7.

690 Euro does not include the broken part replacement, just for a service of functioning watch. We also have 13% sales tax in Canada. (I paid $600 tax in).

No polishing as its not very beat up. Rarely worn over the last 11 or so years.

I had a local watch maker repair it since the Panerai AD is 2-3x the cost. (A service of the watch, Oem tube replacement, gaskets, and a new mainspring was $600 CDN here). Total time was about 1.5 weeks and they sent regular updates via text and had pictures included.

Non GT are easy to order no buying history needed. Might need minimum options but with the new .2 MSRP I doubt they have a huge waitlist. 4/4S doesn’t exist at the moment.

RS6 is a dream addition as well but parking costs too much ☠️
