The lifespans issues you hear about are from enterprises that access the drives 24/7 or people who have early generation SSDs. A modern SSD in a consumer rig will take several decades before problems start to crop up. Even in enterprise solutions, modern SSDs can last a decade. The tech has come a looong way.

I have had my current PC since 2012. I had it built with a 256GB ssD drive as the main drive (with a 2TB standard drive as a second). I just recently upgraded the 256 SSD to a 512 SSD, only because I was running out of space. I have heard of the issue with write limits, but in 6+ years, I have never had an issue and…

I am aware of this limitation and take precautions against it on my PC, but to be honest I have no anecdotal evidence from myself or those I know of actually hitting that write threshold on commercial drives. (That said, I have bought mostly Samsung and ignored cheaper crap). Have you/others you know run into this…

That’s really not an issue. In something like a game console where you’re not constantly writing small bits of data, wear leveling will take care of things.  Unless you’re constantly writing data to the whole drive, and I’m talking way way more than any game player is likely to be, we’ll be at the next generation…

Is Bacardi Dragonberry Rum an acceptable substitute?  Asking for a friend.

Lincoln doesn’t offer a 2-door personal coupe anymore, so he’s not a Lincoln buyer.

Full disclosure. I voted NP. Why you ask? Because I’m shopping around for these and they’re hard to find.

Best bang for your buck on the used market isn’t a corvette. It’s a fiesta ST. For 12 large, you get a 2700lb go kart with about 200 hp, and while rated at over 200 torque (206 is Fords figure iirc) it really puts around 220 down. Yes, both of those numbers pale in comparison to the Z06, but you can use all 200 of…

Mine is wrapped - it’s a 3M color called Gloss Glacier Grey that I’m very happy with. There’s a fairly similar OEM color called Night Race Blue but I think it was only offered in 2012-3 for the C6es

2017 Abarth that my ENTIRE family and friend group hates! Giallo moderna perla...fuck your face.

Holy shit.

Annoy people trying to get decent results out of a Google Image Search, I find.

And for the proletariat:

lol.

When it’s a car this young with this many miles, those miles are usually highway driven.  I’d take a chance.

I was going to say, there’s some very healthy demand for the higher-optioned models.  They can’t build the fuckers fast enough it seems.

There’s no mystery here. Tesla simply wants to build and ship more high-margin products before the end of the quarter. That’s not evil, that’s smart.

This is so 2018

Ugh.
