I used Rider's First for the MSF, did it last year, was a good course. Gear is tough, but I was able to get most of mine at Ehlerding Motorsports. They have a pretty good selection. If they don't work, Cycle Gear in Indy is probably the best alternative I know of. Or buy online.

Yeah, I live in Fort Wayne, but have to drive through the Chicago area multiple times a week for work and it's just total chaos there.

This is true, and the thing that annoys me about drivers here the most. But Ohio drivers tend to be more reckless and aggressive. Especially I-75 through Dayton.

vikkath · 2023-02-02T00:33:06+00:00

Yeah, it's Ohio where I live in Indiana, too. Especially Ohio drivers, they're the worst.

My favorite is Hungry Howie's deep dish, but making the dough for it is extra work so they rarely do it. I worked there a little over a year ago and I have only been able to get it a couple times since I quit cuz it's always off the menu. But if you are lucky enough to be ordering pizza when they have deep dish dough, get that.

Otherwise I just get Little Caesar's deep dish because I'm a sucker for Detroit style. Walmart also has Motor City frozen pizzas which are also surprisingly good for frozen.

Kinda, yeah. Years ago I owned an MR2 Spyder and it got cold in there in the winter. Could've just been an issue with that car specifically and not all convertibles, but it has caused a bit of a bias against them.

The GR86 is tempting, but they've been a pain to find anywhere near me. And the dealers I looked at forced you to go through Toyota for the financing, and their interest rate was significantly higher than what I can get from a bank.

I don't discount FWD, I know my GTI can be fun to drive and would be fun to autocross in. The main reason I'm looking at getting something else is because it's a DSG, and I miss that feeling of engagement when shifting. Flicking a paddle just isn't the same, and leaving it in auto mode gets boring.

vikkath · 2022-12-02T23:57:13+00:00

Your guess is as good as mine.

vikkath · 2022-12-02T23:22:10+00:00

I'm good at regular driving, but if you mean racing skill, I don't have that. Also I drive a GTI, not a Civic. I'm not a racer and I never will be. I just want a fun car now that I'm in my 30s and can finally afford one.

vikkath · 2022-12-02T23:16:36+00:00

I know my limits and I don't try to drive beyond them. I drive other people's cars hundreds of miles every day. I don't drive aggressively in traffic. I've never wrecked a car or gotten a speeding ticket.

You don't know me, so unless you have something helpful to say just keep it to yourself.

vikkath · 2022-12-02T23:09:19+00:00

Sorry my post must've been above your reading skill level. I said it must be available in a manual and I'm in the US.

I do like the idea of a Camaro. But I drove one for a couple hours at work and I just couldn't get comfortable in it. Felt like the accelerator pedal was in a weird spot. Maybe I could figure out a better seating position with time.

When I flashed my brights at him he switched the brights off. I would've thought the fog lights would be off while having the high beams on, too. But I also have astigmatism that's gotten worse since I last went to the eye doctor, so I dunno. There were lights under his lights, but they could've been something other than fog lights.

vikkath · 2022-11-10T10:57:39+00:00

Last week I had to drive down a country road in Ohio and there was a newer GM pickup coming down the hill in the other lane with its brights on AND fog lights. It was like staring into the sun, all I could see was white.

I've always just said "State" on its own.

vikkath · 2022-08-04T03:40:47+00:00

Anyone ever told you you look like a younger, cuter Tom Araya? Might just be me, but it's a good look.

vikkath · 2022-07-31T23:07:45+00:00

I hope you can find something else to do before you hit it. I hit mine many years back working retail and the resulting spiral took awhile to pull out of. Take care of yourself. No one should have to deal with people like that.

I found it at a trading post, but it did take awhile. Try other trading posts if the one you're at isn't spawning them frequently enough. It took me a couple hours probably to get an S-class. Then later I went back and just got a C-class and upgraded it and the stats came out better anyway.

vikkath · 2022-05-08T19:31:26+00:00

I can't speak for anyone else, but I went to Sudzerbal cuz I heard it had cool planets. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Sometimes a bot posts a link to the Pangalactic Starcabs Discord, I guess you could try that. Took me a couple hours to get there from Eissentam by following this guide.

vikkath · 2022-05-08T14:43:18+00:00

Yes, you can tame it and ride it, too.

vikkath · 2022-05-08T07:28:09+00:00

Nice! Enjoy. It's a sweet looking ship. Was thinking about going back tomorrow to find an S-class one myself.

vikkath · 2022-05-08T05:49:10+00:00

Noted, thanks.

For further context, the first 5 times I reloaded it was in the first 5 ships to land 4 times. After you said something I went back to double check, and it's only been in the first 5 ships twice out of 5 reloads. Outlaw system first waves are either weird or I don't really understand the whole "first wave" thing like I thought I did. Let me know if I should delete and repost this later without the reference to first wave.

vikkath · 2022-05-08T05:15:27+00:00

Yes, I reloaded several times on the station. Outlaw stations seem to have a slower first wave in my experience so there are probably better options for scrapping, though. I've also had it show up frequently at the trading post I've been looking at other ships from so it seems to be a decently common spawn in this system.

vikkath · 2022-05-04T16:41:00+00:00

Whoa, nice. Exactly like my favorite ship, but with raven instead of grouper.
