KakerMix posted:I think they look pretty good in silver, especially since that's the original color. If you go with black a lot of the details will be lost in most light. Silver might be boring but who else is driving Saabs around and how many of them have the inca alloys? Please tell me I can find one of these in the states oh my god E oh it’s Daihatsu I think I can at least import one

KakerMix posted:You can get an R32 GTR in ok condition for 11 grand or so at auction but the demand is sky (heh) high. That's what happens when you suddenly have the entire United States of America as potential customers to buy your car and everyone wants one. Just go look to see what people in the US are looking to get for their po-dunk GTS Skylines. Yeah I would probably opt to import myself, mostly because at least the ones from Japan aren't going to be rust heaps like they are in Canada. It'd also be fun to grab something like an old ute from Oz or a JDM from the UK but I suspect those are going to be significantly more expensive + the importation process to be more difficult for ~*reasons*~ I'll have to do more digging when I'm closer to the possibility so I don't do a bunch of research, sit on it for a year, then have to redo it

Anyone know how the new STI’s are? I think I’m going to get a 2018 in a year or two since we’re gonna buy the missus a new car next month and imma drive her G6 until we’ve saved enough cash to buy me a car that I would like cash since we’ve been debt free and being able to stack paper and not have monthly payments owns so hard, plus may as well let someone else take the depreciation hit

It is going to take at least 50 years and a significant overhaul of the entire US infrastructure before we see self-driving cars being used for more than replacing truckers and taxis in big cities

Kazinsal posted:It's not "this dude's a piece of poo poo because he doesn't agree with me", it's "this dude has a pattern of varying levels of racist shitposting and it's ripping a hole in the community unabated". this also Adiabatic posted:but he was responding to nm's post about race with his own view and y'all jumped on him about it. Easiest way to make sure that doesn't happen is to ban the practice of talking about politically charged issues, but I want y'all to be able to do it, so be adults about it please. his view is literal dogwhistle racism, it's not some political point that separates the conservatives from the liberals, it's not something that congress argue about, it's purestrain "this is how fellow racists identify each other without using the n-word" my post is naturally "your opinion is super wrong and therefore youre subhuman" because it was a loving racist post (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

One of the cool + good things about AI is that it's not like the normal automotive forums filled with lonely old men spouting equal parts good info and awful opinions. When I first came here, I had a few lovely opinions, shared them, and was probed for them by IOC and because of that I decided to do some research and think about things from the perspective of other people. I also grew up a lot and went from being this dumb middle class kid with relatively wealthy parents to being a young married kid who suddenly didnt have any sort of disposable income and lived off of rice and lentils and curries for 2 years before me and the missus graduated and got full time jobs, and it made me think about the fact that I was incredibly fortunate and privileged that I wasn't stuck in that position for the rest of my life because I had the opportunity to go to uni and get a degree in a field that is in high demand and that there were people all over america who needed help with their day to day just to survive. I also learned a bunch of other things that I should have known as part of being a decent person, but unfortunately I didnt think of because i was in a position of privilege and refused to recognize it because i was a big dumbass. The start of me being "woke" is directly related to me posting itt, calling things that i thought were stupid "gay" and talking about what some minority did with their money, and getting called out and probed over it and realizing that i was a lovely human being who needed to change and grow the gently caress up. So while i'm not happy at all that the people calling out racism yesterday were probed because we were "making GBS threads on a political opinion", as if the way someone treats and talks about another group of people is now a political issue, while the person who said racist things got off free, I am happy that I have a probe for saying something racist in 2012 and a probe for yelling at a mod for not handling racism in 2018. at least i have proof that I've grown up at least a little, even if some of you would argue i'm just some dumbfuck SJW REEE'ing in the chat thread and it's not much better. i like most of you guys and I only still post itt sometimes because you guys are cool, unlike most of the gearheads that I have been exposed to, and I consider many of you my friends. i'm not going to stick around if lovely people with lovely opinions are allowed to dogwhistle here just because they didnt explicitly say "ya i'm from california and i was surrounded but a bunch of sp**s! i was the minority!!" love you guys in the words of applebees appetizer so many years ago,

I haven’t really explored much of the US as an adult and I forgot what having constant sunshine was like For instance, I forgot that in a good state 65F feels significantly warmer than it does in Michigan where the sun doesn’t shine Rhyno posted:TT lives close to the Detroit Metro. I think literally anywhere else is a step up. Yeah I’m about 8 miles from Detroit and 14 from downtown. It’s pretty ok but the more I experience LA the more I think it’s not what I’ve convinced myself it is

KakerMix posted:Alternatively, just do it? It’s more of convincing the missus it’s worth it, she’s happy most of the year in Michigan except for when it’s cold and she has to go outside, and since her family is nearby it’s a win for her. Most of my family is not nearby and I don’t really care about them as much so it’s easier for me to split. It’s never very sunny no matter what season it is and it gets to be quite depressing. My only concern is making sure our quality of life would be the same, which means we would need to make roughly $250k/yr in CA, and I think we would best case make around $200k which means we’d live in a closet or 2hr from work

The Royal Nonesuch posted:Well yeah those places are neato, get the nice beach temps, and this is literally going to be the most ideal couple weeks of beautiful weather all year. I'm going camping in the middle of a SoCal desert this week because it will be incredible, even out there. Figure out where you could realistically afford to live inland (SFV or Anaheim or whatever), and come back in august and spend a week there, driving the commute you'd be driving. Be sure to not run A/C for a couple of days to simulate peak-demand power outages! Yeah I was thinking about going inland to see how she likes it and how much more affordable it is. The big question mark for me is how much will I make, since it seems the average for swengs is only slightly higher than back home but with 1.75x higher COL and housing that’s about 4-8x higher. The missus being a nurse can work anywhere and wouldn’t have to take her boards again, which is nice. But yeah nah we might hit the Venice beach boardwalk after spending today in downtown Manhattan beach and Venice beach just walking and chilling on the beach. We also found a really really good church that I actually enjoyed which is super important for us and straight up the church by itself is a great reason to move here
