Currently hard for us to truly live below our means as day care is expensive so we are doing it part time. :tits: started her own :pinshit: Etsy crafts business and has been making decent money on it (close to $6k in 3 months!!!) but it is burning her out a bit too since the items are all hand made...

Still sad about timing and not knowing you were going to possibly be offing the Mini. I'd have strongly considered picking that up off of you. Didn't see any that seemed worthwhile out here in my brief search. I'd be lying if I said I haven't thought about the Mini for myself. :lol: Really cool car...

:fuckyeah: , that's amazing! Congrats dude! Are you ready to elaborate on the new industry you're entering? :excited: Thanks dude! You guys are the best. Getting into software/data/tech. It's software for the auto industry, but it'll get me the experience I need to make a full exit at some point. :...

You rent the model Y yet or nah? :hibachi: My buddy who has 2 was going to give me one for the weekend. But his woman started bitching about it, and even though he won than fight I felt a bit awkward. To be honest I’m not really into the Y because to me the X is superior in every way. I was going t...

It was a mixture of boredom, looks, and the fact that he "can go anywhere" now. :lol: https://preview.redd.it/rsuga5o96ze71.jpg?width=960&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=544fe84bed17b89c68c6f032bc3ca47597340887 :lolgasm: He should throw it up on BaT or C&B with a characteristic tha...

Definitely going to have to drive a stock one then because that was my least favorite part about the drive. It had to have been the tires. He had some Fallen Wildpeaks on the stock wheels before these and those were probably a much better compromise than what's on there now. These things were insta...

My comment about road noise was with regard to the tractor tires :doe: yours are fine I’m sure. I refuse to put “agressive” tread tires on my Tacoma like so many do. They destroy everything but the “look” I am astonished by the number of Taco, 4R, Jeep, and TRUK bros here who run the crazy aggressi...

Interesting … maybe it’s the angle but they look about 1/2-1” larger in diameter. Do you happen to know the size?

IIRC 215/75r15 is the same OD as stock. The added sidewall makes it look a lot more beefy, and thus larger when they're not. Stock, the tires fill the wheel wells nicely.

Nope. The wheels are much smaller than stock so the dimensions of the actual tire are pretty close to the stock setup. There was some road noise but nothing terrible. I'll have to go drive a stock one to see what the difference is actually like. Interesting … maybe it’s the angle but they look abou...

Is there any play in your steering wheel? With this one, you could turn it an inch in either direction and still be tracking straight which i assume was from the tires? Road noise was miles better than the Hype R for sure, even though it's not the quietest car. Can't really expect it to be at the p...

No wonder the steering felt dead. Did they rub on full lock ? Also how’s the road noise on those ? Was going to mention that. One of the things I like about ours is that the steering is pretty decent and the car is actually reasonably fun to drive. The 17s make a big difference I think. Road noise ...

Yup :lol: curious to know how different it would feel on the stock setup. No wonder the steering felt dead. Did they rub on full lock ? Also how’s the road noise on those ? Nope.

Well you're too young for a Miata RF so what else you gonna do? 400z? Gonna be the same problem as the BRZ. EMBRACE THE BRO Miata RF seems fine. Similar price point too… M2 is Right up my alley but I just dont know if I want a “fun” car at the moment. Fun comes at the compromise of ride quality/roa...

Did you drive this one with the horrendous tires?

I wonder how different it is from mine with stock 17's

Me too. The wheels are 15s so I think the overall diameter is within 0.5in of stock. There was some tire noise that I bet wouldn't be there on the stock ones.

Got to drive and ride in a 2021 Crosstrek Sport for ~200 miles this past weekend. Drove like a toaster which I'm not convinced is the worst thing in the world anymore. It road nicely and didn't feel underpowered. Steering felt dead, but it's nice knowing that you can take it soft roading as needed....

:hai: +1 to the burger > steak group. Medium and standard toppings are best imo. Asking me to pick between the best burger vs best steak is like asking me to pick a favorite child. IMPOSSIBLE. There's this steakhouse in Seattle that uses their steak trimmings for their ground beef and it makes for ...

Sounds pretty great so far and one of your biggest complaints would be solved with the plaid. Excited to hear more.

And yeah, that windshield is epic. I was shocked the first time I sat in one because of how much visibility there is.

How are you liking the allroad?

It's alright. I've been reflecting on it quite a bit and think the best route forward will probably be to just slap 18s on it and stop caring so much. It's still and incredible car even if I'm not appreciating it for all that it is. I keep going back and forth on what to do :doe: Vroom offered $41k...

@Rensop, re: the Type R, that is a bummer that it isn't quite meeting the dream you had for it. Let me know what offers you get on it. I wish I could buy it :lolol: Honestly the :plac: BMW has been pretty solid so far. We drove it to Atlanta yesterday for a concert at the Braves Park and back this ...

I like those gray seats. How's the stereo? That's historically been a weak point for Honda, but something they get very right for Acura. Interface is awful and slow. No clue on sound quality. Will update once I get a chance to test it out. That's how the Civic's is as well, but Android Auto mostly ...
