shadow osprey
Yeah but it comes with a V8
indigo coral
no it doesn't
civic girder
looks are subjective for the outside
shadow osprey
or a V10 for the S8 which isnt much more
shadow osprey
ew no
shadow osprey
yeah I wouldn't actually own any except a Q7 diesel and maybe an old merc
that's not true, I'd go for an E39
indigo coral
So yeah. G70 looks amazing, from what I've read it drives really well, and it has a beautiful interior
lol
Wish I could get an E50 M5, but theyre a mess lol
shadow osprey
what about the hyundai gensis, before it split?
shadow osprey
I mean optional V8
indigo coral
yes but the G70 can take some corners
civic girder
A 90s Diesel Merc, the BMW M1 (because they look amazing), an E30, 959, way older 911s, and air cooled VWs from ancient times
only German cars I could stand to own
indigo coral
who wouldn't own a 959?
civic girder
fools
indigo coral
fair enough
civic girder
I bet they're a pain to maintain tho
shadow osprey
Oh and I'd whip a 6th gen golf TDI cause antilag is amazing
civic girder
there's some na diesel Passats I'd rock cause they sound badass
indigo coral
I could get used to dailying 365hp and a ZF 8HP though...
Big change from a 220hp, 4spd RX 300
civic girder
I'm not sure I could get used to driving anything with that much power
even 200hp turns me off a bit
indigo coral
It was nice getting to drive my mom's explorer for a few days
while we were waiting for parts
hardly have to push the pedal to get up to 60 at a reasonable clip
shadow osprey
200 is too much?
shadow osprey
Like i said, special
civic girder
lol
indigo coral
220 is very slow in my RX, even revving it out
lol
heavy car + slow trans + slow engine
shadow osprey
My mustang makes 300ish and it's slow as balls
indigo coral
wanna drive my rx? xD
civic girder
Well yea, if you balance out the big power with big weight, that's usually ok
shadow osprey
I learned stick on a 2002 civic, trust me I know
civic girder
but when you add power to small and light? I'll make a hard pass
indigo coral
the only saving grace of my car is that the passing power at 70 is surprisingly adequate compared to other slow cars
shadow osprey
I mean it's 3400lbs it's not a challenger
indigo coral
the main reason it passes okay is that its at 3k+ rpm at 70
civic girder
The passing power in both the Prius and the RX-7 is adequate. They'll make a lot of noise and you use a lot of throttle, but that's fun
shadow osprey
It's more fun to drive slow cars fast cause you can actually rev them out and feel like you're doing something
fast cars you hit second gear and you gotta slow down
civic girder
I also hardly ever pass. Like I can probably count on my hands how many times I passed on purpose in the last 3 months
shadow osprey
only draw back
indigo coral
but on the highway I routinely do
shadow osprey
surface streets?
indigo coral
like one lane each way type roads
civic girder
On the highway, I set my cruise and/or maintain speed
shadow osprey
oh yeah no
civic girder
on 2 lane highways, I only pass if the car in front is going way to slow
shadow osprey
unless the guys doing 30 in a 50 (and we have plenty of people who do that) -___-
I also live far enough out that there's passing lines pretty much everywhere
civic girder
the only thing I think the RX-7 is lacking is power in 5th gear
the ratio is so whack
like, 3/4 throttle to maintain speed uphill at 70mph is just confusing
shadow osprey
it's OD on a NA rotary, what do you want
civic girder
but then you drop to 4th and 3/4 will make you fly uphill
civic girder
yes, relative
but 5th has power at around 45-55mph
but loses all power at 60+
it confuses me
indigo coral
I'm totally fine with people driving slow when theres an actual reason
civic girder
^
indigo coral
but if its nice out, dry, and you're doing 50 in a 60, get the fuck off the highway
lol
indigo coral
I know that sounds super impatient, but if you're a good 15+ mph below the flow of traffic, you're a hazard.
civic girder
or 35 in a 55
indigo coral
I saw someone deadass doing a 25 in a 70
when its 65F and sunny out
like..
why.
shadow osprey
Dude the amount of times I catch people going under the speed limit in the fast lane
that'll literally get you killed around me
indigo coral
if someone is flying up behind me I'll move over if I can
shadow osprey
People go 20 over and those are the guys just keeping up with traffic
indigo coral
I try not to go that fast in the fast lane, usually no more than about 10 over
and then vacate once I've passed the annoyance
shadow osprey
As long as you get out when you're done passing no one cars
I drive pretty fast and I don't even cruise in the fast lane if I can help it
no point
civic girder
675 (the highway by me) is insane. It's a 65, right.
Left lane: people are going at least 75
middle lane: can be anywhere from 68 to 72
right lane: 65 to 69
indigo coral
I do stay in the fast lane for the last half mile or so of the highway because the slow lane has to merge in lol
cause the highway changes to a different one
shadow osprey
lol
fair enough
but yeah there's always one guy doing 110 and I'm not trying to be his pancake
indigo coral
normally that's a bad thing to do but this particular merge is nasty
shadow osprey
I mean as long as you're not in there for miles then no one really cares
civic girder
I normally pick the right lane, as I like to go between 66 and 69
unless I have to pass for some reason
which is rare
indigo coral
its around a tight curve (one you have to slow down to 40 to not tip your car over), and right after you merge in, there's an overpass that drops down, AND there are people right/left turning across 3 lanes of highway at the same time
its really just nasty.
civic girder
trucks are rare and most people are flying, so
indigo coral
so I stay in the fast lane on the previous highway, which lines me up to be in the slow lane of the new highway
w/o having to merge
civic girder
Ah yes
shadow osprey
yeah no harm there
civic girder
there's two empty lanes of traffic
fucking Chevy Express refuses to change lanes or slow down to let me merge
he almost side swiped me
cause he sped up as I was beginning to run out of on ramp
indigo coral
I was getting on the highway one day and this Accord was in the fast lane, and as I'm merging in, they dip over REALLY quickly, no blinker, just out of the blu
e
they didn't even get off at the next ramp or anything
they're just stupid
shadow osprey
falcon stfu, i've been saying that's fine for the last 10 minutes lmao
indigo coral
lol
civic girder
yea, I see no problem
indigo coral
I was also going to RCCC a couple months ago and doing about 75mph in the middle lane, in a 70 zone
civic girder
I'd do the exact same thing
indigo coral
this black chevy caliber (i think) came FLYING up next to me in the slow lane, cuts across in front of me, drops into the fast lane and takes off
they barely* avoided losing it
civic girder
jesus
indigo coral
Like the car super wasn't cut out for that, and they were being completely reckless
shadow osprey
chevy cavalier or dodge caliber
indigo coral
some shitty little car
shadow osprey
lol yup
indigo coral
another time
civic girder
second loudest car, second only to the Grand Caravan
indigo coral
I was on a 55mph country road, winding through osme nice hills
good driving road tbh
fun even in my RX
and I'm coming around this bend. Motorcycle in front of me, explorer/expedition in front of them.
All of a sudden the Expedition slammed on the brakes, like really hard, and the motorcycle dipped off into the shoulder and I nailed the brakes too
A nissan versa had tried to pass at 80+mph on a blind corner
the Expedition nearly avoided a serious collision
like probably fatal for both sides
so yeah.
Shit like that is why I have a dashcam now
civic girder
Yea
I am going to get a dashcam soon
one with a decent amount of battery so I can use it in the RX-7 too
indigo coral
for when tards like that almost cause problems. If i ever get wrapped up in it I can have evidence it wasnt my fault lol.
civic girder
oh yea
people will try to blame you for shit that they were 2000000000000000% responsible for
like that Versa
if both drivers had somehow survived
you can bet your ass the Versa would have tried to put blame on the Expidition
indigo coral
I'm sure.
civic girder
now, the police would probably laugh in the Versa's face, but they would definitely try
indigo coral
They werent doing anything wrong, not even speeding
civic girder
yep
indigo coral
I tried just plopping my phone on a mount and using that as a dashcam but the camera wasn't wide angle enough
would probably work wiht my new McLaren phone but it is unnecessary
now i have a real dashcam xD
civic girder
never heard of it
indigo coral
you've never heard of oneplus phones?
indigo coral
they had a mclaren edition of the OP6T, and now the OP7T Pro
I got the phone for "free" via T-Mobile
civic girder
I was never informed of this
my phone might work for dash cam
it has a wide angle
indigo coral
what phone?
civic girder
Zenfone 6
indigo coral
i know ive asked
ah
nice
oh oyu have the swivel camera
how does that work for you?
civic girder
but I've used it to record video in the RX-7, uh, that went....well
the flip camera is cool, but I don't use it that often
civic girder
my camera is more useful for getting better angles on things while still being able to see the screen
I never take selfies
ever
civic girder
I can't recall a single selfie I've ever taken since I first got a phone
indigo coral
It's a really good phone
I got it for cheap, used it for a couple months, then switched to the 7T Pro
shadow osprey
Yeah i mean it's a couple generations old now
indigo coral
I wouldnt have switched but we were already switching carriers and it would have been stupid to not take advantage of the offers
aka trade in a galaxy s9 and get a 900$ phone for free
xD
'free'
i got the s9 for cheap on craigslist
the underscreen fingerprint sensor is awesome
civic girder
well, I should probably go eat and then go to bed
indigo coral
the one on the 6T was a bit slow, but was so damn cool I didn't care
the new one is just as quick as a capactive sensor

hot take: The PT Cruiser was the best car Chrysler made in the last 20 years.
It's by far the most memorable.
dense shard
He found the cleanest PT Cruiser.
Even the wood trim is still clean.
A modern crossover.
indigo coral
no its not lol
dense shard
Kia Soul and Toyota CH-R are considered crossovers.
So is the Nissan Kicks.
Cars without an AWD option. Crossovers by virtue of tall seating position.
dense shard
Not sure what is what anymore tbh.
In my eyes crossovers were always sedan based SUVs that could do less than ideal road conditions.
An SUV will be based on a truck ideally.
So Tahoe, Expedition, 4Runner... but with so many things moving to unibody... well that definition is just... not relevant anymore.

Oof
They were probably all shipped to π³π±

stoic ledge
They are now twice as expensive as a company car 
(still extremely cheap, but I don't think a boat with Dutch Model 3's arrived yet)
indigo coral
Makes sense. Tesla's immediate stop selling almost in its entirety when the area loses incentives.
US just lost EV incentives, Tesla's sales are tanking
fair bronze
Seems about right
indigo coral
Evs aren't really... Ready for mainstream
I'm a nerd and would totally get one, but most people don't want one
They're getting better, but aren't ready yet.

Not sure if 10k 9vs would be cheaper
indigo coral
Charging isn't great coverage either
Superchargers are good, but there needs to be way more of them
fair bronze
All battery related
indigo coral
Once solid state batteries are feasible lots of the problems go away
fair bronze
Also the fact that most 'regular' electricity isn't clean either
indigo coral
Yeah but it's still cleaner than gas, over time.
fair bronze
Depends, it's mostly just moving the problem away from the car itself
indigo coral
Keyword over time. If you buy a new EV every year, you're far worse than a gas car.
fair bronze
Also I don't see anyone talking about what happens when a massive tsunami of dead batteries has to be disposed of
fair bronze
Right now it's just all bad basically
New battery tech should solve most of the issues
Who knows when that will arrive
indigo coral
It's not bad necessarily, for someone like me a Model 3 would be great, but it's not ready for widespread adoption
It's not good enough for Mass production.
fair bronze
I don't mean they're bad cars or bad for you, I mean bad in the long term when the batteries reach EOL
indigo coral
oh yeah
For sure
that's something I'm glad Tesla is considering. Their chemistry seems to (in general) last way longer than others
Leaf etc
fair bronze
I read the Leaf doesn't even have a way to regulate the temperature of the batteries
Don't know if it's true though
indigo coral
it doesn't
Almost all the first gen Leaf cars are 40%+ degraded
Quite a number have completely died
fair bronze
I wonder if it's the same story with Renault EVs since they have a relationship

40k is more than what most people can afford.
civic girder
Yea
eager kite
as I said, above average
but that =/= rich
only someone with a ton of disposable income can afford to get the Taycan, because it's only practical use is to drive to work and back or to the golf course with 1 other person
Can't really (and wouldn't want to) do any long distance traveling in it
and it can't hold much stuff in it anyway
It's just a rich person's toy
dense shard
That doesn't change the fact that 40k is pushing it for the average American.
eager kite
Model S and X also require a lot of disposable income, but it can actually replace an existing family car, making it more than a rich person's toy

Loan delinquencies are hitting all time highs, 10 year loans are a thing.

yes ik 40k isn't achievable for the average american
it would be a significant portion of their income, just not practical

"I don't like my current 4 year old car... I'm gonna roll my old loan into a new one cause I want a car with android auto. "

even if you had the cash to buy a car outright, ur probably better off taking a loan for it and investing the money you have

Yeah, I can imagine that
Like I said, you have the credit score over there to think about
stoic ledge
They check your salary, current debts etc while giving a large loan over here (mortgage for example)
wheat hatch
So I can understand why you have a credit card in that case
indigo coral
I have a credit card, which is good, but you never ever carry a balance or your score is fked

oh they do that here too, just that your credit score is also factored in

My desktop blue screened 2 days ago.
civic girder
lmao
dense shard
Granted I hadn't updated it in 5 years.
civic girder
jesus
dense shard
It's retired from service. I use my laptop for everything.
civic girder
that sounds like a security breach waiting to happen
dense shard
I will run a few updates, and make it into a home server.
indigo coral
what kind of specs you got in it?
civic girder
get a Windows Server key for like $5
dense shard
The desktop?
indigo coral
ja
civic girder
my server is rebooting rn
stoic ledge
@civic spoke imagine the Canada Worse driver doing all that with a manual
I feel bad for the Mustang tho 
dense shard
i7-860, formerly a dual 5850 setup, now one, 8 gigs of RAM and 3 spinny drives.
indigo coral
nice
that's what one of my dad's cnc systems is
similar
i7 950, Radeon HD 6850, 16gb ram, and a Gigabyte GA X58A UD3R
civic girder
you're using legit servers @indigo coral ?
my server is quiet π
civic spoke
I want to do those challenges in a manual π
civic girder
Gigashit X58
indigo coral
yes, I'm using legit servers.
civic girder
I have one of those boards, they suck big pp
civic girder
It's HP
indigo coral
they work
civic girder
for now
indigo coral
each one runs Windows Server 2016
indigo coral
Nice
indigo coral
similar cpu in my servers
civic spoke
22 GB? 
indigo coral
48gb in mine >:)
civic girder
44GB for the whole system
civic spoke
22 GB is just an odd number.
indigo coral
oh and the server has a GT 430
civic spoke
Same for 44
indigo coral
just for a not-motherboard-graphics display output
civic spoke
Figured.
civic girder
indigo coral
Nice
civic spoke
I never liked miss-matching RAM.
indigo coral
the biggest annoyance I ahve with my servers is that the damn front bays are only 2.5in
REEEEE.
might end up building a nas to go in the house
civic girder
the workstation came with some shit E series Xeon and a bunch of the smol DIMMs. I got a pair of matched Xeons for like $16 total, and a bangin deal on 36GB of 8GB DIMMs. $50, iirc, for the second CPU riser board
indigo coral
your cpus are on riser boards?
civic girder
and the CPU riser board came with a free Xeon, even though it wasn't supposed tooo
only the secondary CPU is on a riser
indigo coral
ah
we seriously need to do better backing stuff up at my house lol.
I'm probably going to get 4x 4tb hard drives
civic girder
so should I
indigo coral
a computer store near me has loads of them for a good price
civic girder
my server isn't setup for anything besides game hosting rn, and I stopped backing up literally anything
stoic ledge
@civic spoke we have a similar show here (De slechtste chauffeur van Nederland a.k.a The Worse Dutch Driver) and they use manuals
indigo coral
Depending exactly how much they cost, I might get 8x4tb and build one offsite to back up on
civic girder
iirc 4TB standard user drives are $100 a pop
indigo coral
theyre cheaper than that at this computer store
civic girder
if you want actual NAS drives, I think you pay upwards of $130
indigo coral
something like 40 each if I recall correctly
civic girder
$40 for a 4TB?!?!?!??
indigo coral
I briefly had an AX1200 from them but ended up returning it due to nasty coil whine
civic girder
what store?
indigo coral
dont blame them for not hearing it though, their warehouse is fairly loud
RE-PC
its a cool place
civic girder
must be a local thing
indigo coral
yeah
civic girder
damn, wish we had something like that around here
Closest parts retailer is Best Buy. Best parts retailer around here is Microcenter, and they are an hour away
civic girder
Microcenter has a lot of shit, but they're prices aren't that much better than buying online
and Microcenter case selection is literal trash
eager kite
civic girder
their PSU selection isn't that great either
civic girder
I got a Seasonic focus + plat 750 for like $110
for my gaming PC
tfw your gaming PC has 4x the storage of your server
civic girder
I can't use snip tool to copy pics of my other PCs' specs, so I'll have to either link pcpp lists or just rattle off specs
I run my 2600x at stock
didn't feel the need to OC
especially when my RAM was a complete bitch to get running at 3000Mhz
indigo coral
Mine refuses to run over 2666 w/ 4 sticks
civic girder
what brand RAM/mobo?
civic spoke
I use ASUS RAM and Mobo. π
indigo coral
AsRock Killer SLI/ac X370 & 32gb of 3200mhz Corsair Vengeance

Oh, wait. Yeah. I use Corsair RAM. Forgot about it for a second.
civic girder
My Vengeance RAM barely even works
civic spoke
Corsair Dominator Platinum.
civic girder
it freaks out if I mess with anything
I have to use specific settings or they cause my PC to fail POST
civic spoke
Haven't had any real issues with my computer for a long, long time.
indigo coral
Mine posts up to 3200 without issue, but its not stable in Windows
civic girder
all of my problems have been from my RAM, lmao
civic spoke
At first I had a crappy PSU. So I replaced that with a RM750.
And the GTX680 died on me. But that's about it.
Got a GTX970 through warranty.
civic girder
:galaxybrain:
indigo coral
I had an old Corsair TX 650, now my brother is using it

civic spoke
Yeah, I know. Meant to be the next watercooler.
dense shard
sure why not
civic girder
Would be nice to use some of these CPUs for something
dense shard
MS looked at the results and realized a lot of people were using consoles as media centers.
civic spoke
Drill them. And make a necklace.
stoic ledge
I still play split screen ofteb so I still like consoles...
dense shard
It was only fair to design a new console with those features in mind.
