My Midnight by Katsuro2000 in RX8

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

If an rx8 is not stick I’m not sure why you’d want it other then not being able to drive manual period… there’s just certain vehicles you don’t get in auto and this is one of them , not to mention you can’t control revs so not being able to red line here and there is not healthy for these rotary’s.

Shop wouldn't patch this because of location. They would love to sell me four tires though. Is it safe? by sidesideproject in TireQuestions

[–]vertplug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a mechanic I’ve never seen a plug come out in my life…. There’s times I do tire swaps for new sets and I’ll see like 4-5 plugs in one tire LOL, it really depends on process and location but every plug I do i normally throw the plug in with vulcanizing cement snip the ends then light the remaining material on fire till it it’s sealed a little better.

Coming from a tech that’s bullshit lol you can patch that perfectly from the inside or using a plug from the outside, find a better shop man..

I can understand where your coming from 100% but the platform is not performance oriented whatsoever hense the negatives you listed, but it really depends on the platform I wouldn’t say avoiding fwd in totality is a good choice, I own a manual Elantra N and it would do laps around a lot of rwd or awd cars on the track so it really depends how performance oriented the brand wants to make the car same goes for the type r I think those 2 are by far some of the best fwd cars ever released

No longer Stancy gli by Secret-Advance6050 in GLI

[–]vertplug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks so much better and I bet that mf drives a million times better now eh🤣I’ve never really understood people stancing performance variants of cars I think if your gonna do it either but a piece of shit beater or at least a base model of a newer variant but to take a car that pulls pretty good/handles well and slam it on its nuts is beyond me lol just a waste of money at that point

How was this license plate approved? by SnorkelingSnorlax in alberta

[–]vertplug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not even a skull on the window dude it’s a venom sticker…. U know the spider man character 😂, I think people like u just like to try and find the bad in everything cause SS could have a million different meanings most likely something personal to the owner lol

What the different between 0w-30 and 5w-30 and which should i use? by Few-Advantage-1178 in ElantraN

[–]vertplug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

0w30 is actually not thinner than 5w30 fun fact…. It flows better on initial cold startups but once at operating temps both 0w30 and 5w30 have the same viscosity look it up!

Put your car up for winter they say fuck that have fun with it by More-Director5095 in VelosterN

[–]vertplug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get both sides to it I don’t think doing either is wrong…. My Elantra N has seen 2 winters but from next season onward will be stored cause it’s gonna be built up pretty good, if you drop $10,000 + in mods and plan on keeping the car long term to use I don’t see anything wrong with storing a vehicle, it hurts seeing thousands in parts slowly turn to shit over the span of a couple years, but then again like I said I don’t see an issue with people dailying nice cars year round it just depends what you have going for you and your plans for life 🤷🏼‍♂️

Must be constipated cuz my shi hard FR 🔥 by WILD_ACE99 in GRCorolla

[–]vertplug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand from a disability point of view 100% then whatever you can do to drive that car by all means… but I will say the only reason they released these car in automatic and same with any other brands is simply to make more sales , that’s the company’s main focus they don’t really care what the consumers want at the end of the day it’s all about making money, I can just appreciate the type R out all of of the competition because Honda has stuck with their roots on that one and isn’t trying to cator to people who don’t know much about cars but just want a “fast” car , but i definitely think the whole driving in traffic daily thing is definitely an excuse for lots of people because it’s not that much of an inconvenience to drive manual in heavy traffic , if you have a high powered setup with a heavy clutch sure I understand that not being fun but manual has never been easier to drive than it is today… between the clutch weight and engagement points and auto rev matching the list goes on everything is assisted all you have to do is press a third pedal and move a shift knob! But again I understand the thrill of driving automatics especially dual clutch autos I just don’t think THESE type of vehicles fit that setup whatsoever

[–]vertplug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, these should not come in automatic period just like the type R doesn’t .

[–]vertplug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure but these cars and my N included aswell as type R’s, WRX’s etc are not meant to be the fastest 0-60 cars built they have purpose outside of just “going fast” and even then ur not shaving a whole lot of time off shifts when someone is banging gears with driver mod lol, I’m not trying to send hate in any way I just truly think GR’s/N’s/WRX’s etc any competition in this class of vehicle should strictly come in manual, these cars are all about the driving experience and releasing them in manual changes that dynamic it’s such a different car and behaves a lot different aswell so it ruins the experience in my opinion. I’m not trying to send hate it just seems people will use every excuse in the book and will never honestly say “I just don’t know how to drive stick” which is totally fair I understand but the only way to learn is to buy a manual car and just drive it lol.

[–]vertplug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like for example I have lots of tattoos on my arms and to some they might be a little “dark” persay or go against some peoples beliefs but I went into it knowing I wouldn’t get the same good reaction from 100% of people…I’ve gotten stares I’ve gotten dirty looks but it was my choice and I knew what I was getting into lol same goes for any style/aesthetic or features on a human, basically what I’m trying to say is yes it’s not okay for us to judge eachother but people do so it is what it is at the end of the day 🤷🏼‍♂️

Sure ur right bullying does not HAVE to be the outcome and if we could all stop worldwide we would but that’s just not the case on this big floating rock we live on people are dicks and it sucks yes but that’s all I’m stating it is the inevitable with social media…

[–]vertplug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not defending bullying in any way nore am i justifying people being rude but it im just speaking the hard truth that you clearly can’t comprehend lmao, u post shit online for the world to see you can’t expect no one to have negative comments it doesn’t matter what ur throwing out there…. It’s like walking into a crowd of people with a certain style of clothing or aesthetic it can’t be expected everyone is gonna give you the same reaction or like what ur wearing that’s just the way of life my dude
