100% agree on not using Fram. Many years ago I bought a ‘94 Mustang GT from a friend. Had a bunch of miles and the oil pressure was always a little lower than expected, but ran fine and no material in the oil. For some reason, he used Fram filters.  Filters as in plural, as the car had many and the oil pressure was…

Really, that’s all it took to get you to stop wrenching?  Should have smacked it harder with your purse.

Your take makes zero sense by your own facts.  Guy gets the SUV, doesn’t like it, and will be able to sell it FOR A PROFIT.  What’s to lose in this situation?  If he likes it - great.  Hates it, he MAKES MONEY selling it.  Where is the down side in all of this?

It also doesn’t come with an included airbag… which is interesting.

Ugh, I’ve spent so much on my rig recently, this is something I need to upgrade but don’t want to spend the money. Just bought new 165Hz triples, 3070ti, Adler Lake i5 + MB, 32GB ram, one of the fastest NVMe drives you can buy, GT Omega Pro rig with all the options (got the rig used, luckily, for about half the price…

Buyer is still out their 5% (up to $5,000) whether they pay the seller or not.  So BaT gets their money.

If you keep a new car for 10 years, you are making a bad purchase decision. You basically want to take the FULL depreciation hit. A CPO vehicle would be a far smarter purchase, as you don’t get hit with the upfront depreciation and are still running it into the near-bottom value.  

**This doesn’t fully apply to COVID…

Look at how the general public takes care of their cars.  A lot of the QC issues are paint quality and panel gap issues - things many buyers either don’t notice or don’t care about.  Tesla has QC issues that would bother buyers (shit not working or falling off the car), but my guess is the frequency of those issues is…

If you drive anything performance oriented year-round, you want a performance tire and a winter tire. That’s what I did with my BMW when I daily drove it. Total death trap in snow on my winter tires, but did great on my snow tires on the stock wheels.

It also depends on location and amounts/occurrences of snow.  I…

This. I once had a company truck (‘06 F150) that was just awful in the snow. Open diff, cheap all seasons. I filled the entire bed up with snow just to get some weight back there.

Even then, one morning many years ago it had snowed overnight and I got stuck in my concrete driveway.  I live in Ohio, so it wasn’t that…

From a quick Google search, Microsoft said they won’t be supporting VR but Sony has something in the works.  As for triples...they can’t even handle super wide screens.  Racing simulators really are meant for PC’s.

So they are mandating a feature that has been common in cars for decades.  Last vehicle I owned without it was made in the 90's.

After they pulled the guy out, they had to pull the dude’s pants down to so he could moon the train?

You aren’t adjusting a hydraulic clutch.  That whine is likely the throwout bearing.  Deal with it, otherwise it is new clutch time.  The stick shift moving is the transmission mount - cheap and very easy to replace; zero reason to pay someone to do that job - jack, jack stands, and the most basic socket set will get…

Wheel isn’t the only issue. Single screen users, which ALL console users will be, have an awful field of view (FOV). Those with a bad FOV tend to be the same folks that smash into the side of you because they simple can’t look over and see anything.

That’s why VR or Triples are the preferred way to use a racing…

This is full-on CP.  A 10 year old, 100k mile iQ for 9k - even in COVID times that absurd.  

If you want a weird, smaller city car, just buy an i3 for similar money. They you get an electric (or electric with range extender if optioned correctly) that is a nicer vehicle.

This is the right take.  I have zero interest racing with a bunch of console gamers on a controller.  This is a sim and should be treated as such.  It’s not cheap to do right but less than real life track racing.

I bought an ‘18 Sierra. Stickered with destination for $61,095. I paid out the door (excluding tax) $44,055.  Yes, I got it for $17,000 below sticker - brand new, fresh off the truck, not a demo, not some weird option package/colors.  Just bought at the right time from the right place.

At that time, a 2015 matching my…

As long as they keep the console gameplay absolutely separate from the PC gameplay, have at it.
