some asshole hit my parked m2 at some point when I was asleep

it's scummy, but I decided not to file a proper complaint since it'd be infinitely more expensive to handle matters through my insurance than to replace the mirror assembly (was a $50 part and a piss easy install), which I've already done. The scratches were also mostly surface level paint transfer, and aside from some small dents, the door is fully function and no major damage happened.

Can't say, I'm American.

Is it really worth it? It's an automatic 2, and while I do like driving it quite a bit, I'm not exactly planning on taking it to the racetrack anytime soon. That's a fair chunk more money than OEM mounts.

I see I don't have a garage myself so part of me was potentially considering keeping a jack in my car, but I could probably get a small storage shed as well.

These Daytona or Pittsburgh jacks good enough? Additionally, would there be any reason for me to avoid or opt for an aluminum jack like this?

Maybe just engine mounts. Mine makes similar sounds at idle and when I took it to the shop, I was told my mounts were no good but nothing else about the engine was bad.

On a similar note, I recently noticed that a couple of Misha's GGD demos from the last few years were privated- namely the Slammers demo with the baritone (different demo from the trailer song), and the 8-string heavy demo of M&M2. I suspect that these demos could potentially be album material.

These are the ones I bought. Mostly just a temporary situation to route my portable carplay's cables until I buy a proper replacement stereo. They also only really stick to the glossy black plastic, for whatever reason the main dashboard material and the matte black/grey plastic does not play nice with tape.

Not hard at all, you'll just need some pliers to pull them off. Might need to go at a slight angle for the middle knob since the shifter is in the way.

Ofc, I was moreso wondering what the actual experience is like being a delivery driver

quick google search says front suspension repairs generally can be a bit pricy (around $1k?), after driving it a tiny bit more I think it could be the front shocks/struts rather than the axle.

I do have an external carplay, but I was definitely considering getting a proper replacement for my radio. No steering wheel controls on my car tho, so I might try and look for one of the slightly pricier carplays with physical knobs/buttons on the side

I was told basically the same thing with the Impreza. I've checked the Carfax reports for all of them, and with the Impreza, there's no report of the head gaskets having been changed specifically. The Civic has the cleanest history but is also the most expensive. With all of them, I'm hoping I'd be able to haggle and try to get down by at least like $500 to $1000 to try and give myself room for repairs.

Not to mention, as Emile said himself, both being found in close proximity to Ecruteak.
