The twins lose oil pressure in tight right turns in the track, which is strange because this car was marketed largely as a car that you could take to the track: https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a44362621/toyota-gr86-subaru-brz-fa24-potential-starvation-issue/ Toyota did not honor the warranty...

I think it would be a good second car if my daily driver needs to be in the shop, and it would be fun for longer trips or for winding, twisty roads in the mountains. I would want a real Toyota engine because the Subaru engine runs into issues during hard right turns in the track. The GR86 also...

Some cool cars I'd like to drive/rent: (photos from the web, not my pictures) Audi A5 Sportback Chevy Camaro Polestar 2 (electric vehicle) Cars I'd like to own: Toyota GR86 once they stop using the Subaru engine and start using an actual Toyota engine. There's something oddly appealing...

$400 isn't terrible. In the US I would have applied for a credit card with 0% interest financing for the first 12-18 months (ex. capital one), and then tried to finish paying it off before interest kicks in. That's actually what I'm doing right now for my gaming laptop - I will finish paying it...

I got an interview for the same role I was trying to get promoted to, but at a different site. Hopefully that works out! If not, I'll know if there's anything lacking in my experiences/skills that I need to work on over the next 6 months.

Yep, after 2 weeks of driving it, I'm ready to go back to the Tesla. The shop is just about to start disassembling my car this week, likely tomorrow or Wednesday. I should be able to pick up my car some time next week. Edit: one unexpected benefit of driving a gas car is that I can make the...

Yeah, I calculated my mileage for some of my recent trips, and it's currently ~20 miles per gallon (~8.5 km per liter). It's lower than the advertised range of 21 mpg for city driving and 29 mpg for highway driving likely because I always have the AC or heater running at full blast. I'm not even...

I think I enjoy the Mustang more purely from a driving perspective. You can feel the power coming from the engine, kinda like feedback, like me pressing on the gas pedal is doing *something.* I can also feel the shifts in the transmission (even though it's automatic), but those have been jarring...

I haven't taken many pictures of the 'stang, but here is one from when I needed to stop on my way to DC to grab some coffee and put the top up. Weirdly enough, I ended up parking in front of the electric vehicle chargers, which are also next to a Mexican restaurant. Fitting much???? :p

I didn't get the promotion that I thought I qualified for, so I started submitting applications at competitors to get promoted. I also expressed interest in switching departments to a role that would be a better fit for me (QA instead of Engineering).

Great movie. Probably one of the best from the past 5 years or so

NEEERD J/k, that's awesome

2.3L eco boost, it was what they had available at that exact moment and that fit in my budget. I was going to get another Tesla, but the rental company didn't gave any in inventory, so I went with their competitors and got a big ass SUV then swapped it out 10 mins later for the Mustang Edit: it...

My car is in the shop for some repairs, so my rental car for now is a...... Mother freaking FORD MUSTANG

Fame and money do weird things. After all, the right has deep coffers, and they'll be open to you if you spew their same rhetoric to a wide audience and get them riled up. And yes, everyone is susceptible to the allure of fame and money. Jordan was probably well-off but not "wealthy". I don't...

Well, we can start with Jordan Peterson himself. He used to be a prestigious professor in psychology, but then his mind went bonkers when Canada presented Bill C-16. With Bill C-16, gender expression and gender identity would be considered as human rights under Canadian law and Canada's criminal...

Idk anything about the dude of the video you linked. But for the most part, liberal/progressive-minded people are not interested in "meeting in the middle" with someone like Peterson. There is no benefit from saying that you're fair and balanced if you truly have liberal views, since there's no...

Lapalux's 2019 album Amnioverse will always have a special place in my music collection (if you could call Youtube and Spotify a "music collection," haha). The inspiration for the album art, and the general artistic style of all the songs feels right at home and takes me back to a previous time...

I think the original Bentley video was supposed to be an actual advertisement, but for whatever reason they made it an ASMR video lol So many parodies of it have popped up on tiktok, Facebook, and YouTube

Bentley vs Zastava This is very @Archon
