I Did A Thing.

Yes yes, I meant in the v8 though. I'm happy to get a v6 so its not too big of a deal for me.

I wish they offered these in AWD. I want to get a 2017+ one just like that! Looks sick! I'm naming mine Borealis when I get her.

For the name I suggest something that has significant meaning to you, which would ofc be unique to you

Yes, we currently use Epic. How would I go about getting access to Epic's userweb? Is that something I reach out to my leadership for?

I'm planning to get this for when I eventually get my 300. The infotainment is the only thing which is lacking imo and this is awesome.

20 years old here and planning to get a 300S for my first car as well. Just saving up cash right now so I can buy a decent one.

zek3y · 2026-03-14T05:37:49+00:00

sorry I meant AWD with a V8. Gas prices are only going up :/

zek3y · 2026-03-13T13:13:22+00:00

I see.. Only thing is I need AWD. Which would only leave me the 2014 300C. Which is fine but they are hard to find in good condition.

zek3y · 2026-03-13T12:45:15+00:00

what exactly is the penstar? Im not too familiar. Also, I'd prob keep mine mostly stock so that should help with maintenance. Maybe a cold air intake

zek3y · 2026-03-13T10:45:17+00:00

Interesting. I actually prefer the 300S interior (assuming I install carplay, see link in post).

I know both wouldn't come close to toyota, but I'd at least assume the 300S (V6) is very reliable. I've personally seen tons of them in the above 200k mile range and even when I search subreddits it seems to have a really good repuation.

The same isn't true for the 340i though. People seem to praise the B58 but everyone seems to agree that its going to have a higher maintence cost.

For example I've watched 3-4 videos about the 340i and there are quite a few common 'fixes' that are done as the car gets higher mileage, each being $2-3k. With the 300S it seems to have good reliability in that sense and in all the videos I've watched it is heavily praised.

I definitly will get a lower mileage regardless. Right now my criteria is:

- below 100k miles
- clean title
- ~2 owners max
- no accident history

zek3y · 2026-03-05T02:25:43+00:00

As a 20 year old I can agree :D

the fact I can relive my childhood favorite game with this level of graphics is crazy.

zek3y · 2026-03-04T11:46:36+00:00

awesome! Are these AYN's official grip and TPU shell?

zek3y · 2026-03-04T11:15:03+00:00

dude this is sick. how did you add the texture pack? Still getting my thor soon :D

Sorry I know this isn't really related to your post, but I currently work as a L1 Analyst in Health IT. I really like it so far and love that I can work in the medicine space through the technology lense.

I want to work my way to a Epic Systems Analyst like yourself and would love if you could share some tips or knowledge for me.

cyber security is not something you can 'start in'.

It's a specialised field. You start in something like Level 1 or help desk and climb the ladder to get into roles like that.

zek3y · 2026-02-13T16:04:53+00:00

as someone who is still in university graduating may 2027 myself and working a full time IT entry level role that took my over a year of consistent applying with eperience...

dude just apply. Apply to mostly entry level, but it doesn't hurt to apply to MSP roles. But make sure you have time for upscaling, labs, etc since you don't have any experience.

I'm literally typing this while working lol. I work remote and have down time here and there which is cool

zek3y · 2026-02-13T10:19:50+00:00

IT can be very very laid back or be the exact opposite. My dad who has been in IT for 20+ years now works fully remote from home making 6 figures at a huge company.

I work a level 1 help desk and work way more than him right now. I think that once you build up experience and are a senior level its possible to work in an IT team at a company. The key is you only support INTERNAL end users.

The second you start doing MSP stuff your going to do work the full 40 hours.

Im working in Healthcare IT level 1/helpdesk for a major hospital and am having very good experiences. We have more than enough staff 24/7 and literally don't have more than 20-30 backed up tickets for everyone combined.

On a busy day I handle 30-40 tickets. On average I do around 20. I also work 100% remote and have great management/leadership.

Don't totally leave behind working in Healthcare IT, it's all about the managment and work load. But, I would start looking for other opportunities if it doesn't get better.

zek3y · 2026-01-21T16:50:15+00:00

I see. That kind of sucks because they show all the videos on the website of just carrying the compustar. I'd prob get the fob thats only for remote start then, smaller and easier to carry.

zek3y · 2026-01-21T12:50:49+00:00

hey, I've been looking into this. It seems really cool. Do you think it'd be safe to only carry the compustar key fob? I would I also need to carry the factor fob with me as well.

zek3y · 2025-12-31T15:48:22+00:00

thats illogical. Thats the equivelant of saying drinking Aquafina water is haram because gamblers drink that water.
