I'm glad it's not just me - I thought I was getting snobby in my old age.

So whats the best gaming wheel stand out there these days, anyone use them? Just got a huge PS3 system lot for 50 bucks with a Logitec G29 and a shitload of games, controllers, etc. My son is super into racing so I figured I'd get an adjustable setup we can both use. An entire seat setup would be nice, but they are pretty pricey and also a bit too big.

I use the Fanatec Rennsport Wheel Stand (but it seems to be discontinued) -- so either find an ebay one of those, or the 'Wheel Stand Pro' is the second choice. You're spending $100-$150 for this but the sturdier, the better.

Previa_fun posted:Most YouTube car people are bad. I'm burning out on RCR too because dude's kind of a dick. If you watch any of the POV drives he doesn't really let the owners speak, it's "Uh huh...uh huh...OH THAT REMINDS ME OF SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED TO ME...uh huh...uh huh" he's a true believer lolbertarian; he took adam carolla's "i'm a self made man" screed at face value. he's nice enough but i can't get over the cynicism.

Sears chat... I got my very first credit card from Sears before I should have been allowed to have a credit card. I'm fairly sure they decided it was cheaper to give me a card with an amazing $200 limit than it was to keep giving me free bottle of Pepsi for filling out the application every time I was at the mall.

I stopped watching RCR and recently because I'm on a cheap euro bend started watching hoovies garage. The guy takes the piss out of himself (sometimes annoying, sometimes funny) and often gets bad luck and has to spend money while flipping euros, like blowing the motor on the porsche and putting a chev v8 in it (can't remember if it was a ls) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWUqrn2yKns https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni-XIxEhQTA&t=354s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idyRLDxL-FI

More than RCR and DeMuro. I think he actually knows enough about cars to make some interesting purchases, and although he sounds like a d-bag he at least has some humility when he fucks up.

If anything the RCR dude is far left liberal, the jokes and things they put into their videos can't be taken any other way, especially with his writing degree and rips on small-town America. RCR can be not-good anymore without also making the dude something he is not. I'll give you the incel thing though, that feels very much there. rdb posted:I like hoovies garage.

RCR throws in a TON of references only southern PA locals get. I love him for that, but it doesn't exactly endear him to people who have no idea what Kaufmanns chicken is all about. Still pissed he didn't do my GTP when I had it. He did like 6 Subarus but hasn't done the W-body?

I don't get the "RCR is libertarian/incel" thing at all. He's just a bit socially awkward, and him talking a lot in POV videos is likely because the owners are a bit camera shy, plus he used to do radio. He's trying to avoid dead air. Also he rips mercilessly into Kustom Kar Kulture and midlife crisis Corvette/Mustang/etc. owners, which is always good.

RCR isnt some drat stupid incel, what the gently caress? He's obviously socially awkward, but he's definatly a well spoken, thoughtful guy in person who is so far from fat pony loving fedora wearing creep it's not funny. Plus he's not exactly ugly.

In the interests of the current incel conversation this is a documentary made years ago that's an insight into the socially awkward and the weird little corners of the internet that breeds a certain attitude towards women. https://vimeo.com/28466163 "I WANT TO gently caress WOMEN BUT THEY'RE ALL WHORES!" ...so your problem is....................?

Guys that say poo poo like that really need to have a hard goddamn look at themselves and maybe get some sense beaten into them. Firstly a) A woman that wants to have sex is a GOOD thing (JFC what the hell is wrong with people. Men are studs if they gently caress around but women are whores and sluts???? What a pathetic double standard) and B) The woman aint the problem here. I'm socially awkward with women but that's no excuse to be slagging off at women about MY awkwardness is it now?

You're self aware, most incel weirdos aren't. The world around them is stopping them from putting their winky in lady, not their awful attitudes towards women in general and everything that stems from it. That documentary is pretty good, a nice little insight into the thinking or some people. I love subcultures in general so lap poo poo like this up.

Just got a huge PS3 system lot for 50 bucks with a Logitec G29 and a shitload of games, controllers, etc. I picked up a stand from Taiwan on eBay, it's held up find to a G27 and a 36 inch tv sitting on top. Similar to this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/Logitech-Driving-Gaming-Mounting-Plate-GT-G29-G27-G25-Slim-Racing-Wheel-Stand-/192331637033?hash=item2cc7dbe129 I have a spare E30 front seat sitting on a piece of high density foam and it works pretty good.

The incel thread in GBS is such a great little window into their sad little world. Like, how do you get so broke brained that you think your wrist thickness or face length makes you unfuckable? And their terminology they've made up is hilarious

Fat acceptance and the Healthy at Any Size crowd are so infurating. Like they come so close to a good message of "Not everyone is gonna be a supermodel, and that's ok" but then veer off into "It's totally cool and healthy to be 500lbs and permanent stuck in a rascal scooter "

Mr regular seems like an alright guy and I like his literary tangents. I can't explain why I watch demuro though, maybe I rely on being told to go to auto trader dot com slash oversteer to get through my week. He does get access to some interesting cars outside of the normal supercars though.

So hey, Ebay and Discount Tires Direct are running a $100 off $400 and up deal right now. https://www.ebay.com/rpp/4887?rmvSB=true&afepn=5337259887&rmvSB=true Pretty great selection and $100 off with free shipping. After reading every review I could find I ended up going with a cheap set of Coopers. And Cooper is running a $100 off coupon as well so they set me back $344 with a $100 card coming my way. If you need cheap tires this can't be beat.

And true, so true. I feel there is a certain crossover segment between Corvette and PT owners that buy Mid-America bolt on garbage in an attempt to be unique and capture whatever in the hell it is they're looking for that the stock vehicle didn't have to begin with. Maybe it's the louvre tail lights or maybe it's the model of a car on the dash that's the exact same as the car they're driving. There's just something off about that whole crowd. redgubbinz posted:I can't explain why I watch demuro though Yeah, I have nothing to offer you on that one.

Dagen H posted:*Googles "incel"* Same. And the irony is that the term was coined by a woman trying to analyze her situation. It was also meant to be inclusive, meaning the term was independent of why you weren't getting any, and gender was not important.
