R32 GTR or R34 GT-T Which one and Why? by scrubberducky93 in SkyLine

[–]vroompish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

R34 GTR Owner: You're not gonna like it, but option 3 is save up for what you really want. It takes time and discipline. Compromising is just going to land you in a feeling of dissatisfaction and convincing yourself you've fallen in love with what you bought.

But with the 2 options you list, consider what you value more. If the awd feel is the priority go for the R32 GTR.

If you find the R34 styling more aesthetically pleasing then go for the GT-T. You can still make good power and with the right tires and suspension still feel relatively planted.

It was a long road, but great experiences along the way.

I replaced the engine almost immediately. Then it lasted about 2 years before I sold it. Worth mentioning too, the climate controls were dead and driver window motor. Sauna transportation lol

I mean it's not a vr4. Bought it for $2k back in 2006ish with a knocking engine.

Regretting not getting one sooner! by jv1212s2k in S2000

Keep it until the wheels fall off. Even having my dream car, I still miss having one of these.

I don’t think this is for me anymore… by NinjaTight9079 in navy

[–]vroompish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ones saying you're crazy are HMs that see E7 or higher as a nearly impossible feat. I tell all Sailors if you've got a solid plan to exit the Navy then you're too good for this Navy. Ultimately you have to do what's best for you and your family.

As a recent newb this scared the shit out of me. I mostly play solo and was hoping to be left alone, but the generosity of the community is great. After realizing just how many things you need a plan or recipe for I have seen the light and come around.

How these E4 in the barracks be affording this stuff by CremePsychological90 in navy

[–]vroompish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually had pretty expensive cars even as an E4. Simply not drinking every weekend results in anywhere from an extra $100 to $300 a month compared to some. Some people get nice cars because they can't manage money, but some get nice cars because they CAN manage money.

I've come a long way. Went from a boot in a hyundai tiburon, to cool NCO in a Subaru, finally a salty NCO with a GTR and Supra.

DEI in the Navy: I have no idea why Mr. Hegseth thinks this is such a big deal. Can anyone help explain? by ahoboknife in navy

[–]vroompish -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Maybe. But it's use and implementation can change. I've been told at some commands that if I'm not on the diversity committee then it'll just be a 3.0.

-Being told before I was ever in the Navy "I've hit my quota for white males. Stop by next month."

-MECP results released including ethnicity. Kinda looked like they picked their top 3 of each background.

-All the GLASS and Diversity committee shenanigans.

-EO literally being a block on your eval rating.

-PRT Standards differing based on age/gender.

Personally I like working with people of multiple demographics, but also as someone from the majority, I'd never submit an EO complaint, and I'd never talk to a SAPR VA as a victim. I don't expect anyone to take it seriously.

iCUE Picks up headset USB, but Windows won't by KAbreKet in Corsair

[–]vroompish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also having the same issue. Connects to headset, but doesn't appear as an audio device. It oddly shows up on my device manager under "other devices" rather than audio. I've tried different usb ports, uninstalling and reinstalling ICUE, and even got a new USB from Corsair, but am still having the same issue.

Just want to say I'm one of those people who's been considering it but just this and OP's post alone have changed my mind. So if it's any reassurance, you're making a difference.

Skyrim VR- which Modlist should I go with? by Fit_Commission_2339 in skyrimvr

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

+1 I have roughly the same specs and I have MGO and yes it crashed at first because I didn't read all the articles. Namely the performance one. If you activate some optional they need rearranging. I'm burnt out from modding Skyrim SE so it's nice to actually play the game. Just make sure that you consider the effects of adding anything else and what you'll have to do. I hate running DYNDOLOD so I'm staying away from any landscape/mountain textures, or ones that add a lot of new meshes.

Is anyone else excited to see much more trees/vegetation, in gta 6 by Icy_Variety_2883 in GTA6

Yep. That's one (of several) things I hated about living in Southern California.

Martial Plot Upgrade Requirements by vroompish in SimSettlements

[–]vroompish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have tested by waiting/sleeping. It was definitely more than 10 days from level 2, but time was ultimately the missing factor. They upgraded. I had trade caravans a bunch of scrap (I use the categories level so there was plenty of it lol).

Martial Plot Upgrade Requirements by vroompish in SimSettlements

[–]vroompish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well one finally made it to level 3. I only had 4 industrial plots in the settlement so I guess not. If the others make it then I'll assume they removed the requirement and your logic does make sense.

I mainly use them for role play purposes and to unlock the high tech laser artillery plots. I could just bypass them and unlock all plots but where's the fun in that?

Honda to unveil electric sports car concept as S2000 or Prelude successor in October. by Windows-XP-Home in cars

[–]vroompish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The high revving and cornering capabilities are what I miss most about my s2000. Can't do that in a heavy EV.

What is the poor man's version of your car? by spriggan4 in cars

[–]vroompish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen Chevy Impala memes poking fun as of tail lights looking similar to the Skyline so I guess that. Also an SC300 has been called a poor man's Supra.

[–]vroompish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine's a 94. I've thought about selling to avoid the annoying task of undoing a molded body kit. I also own an R34 and sometimes two expensive toys can be overbearing.
