Picked up my Mazda3 the other day. Really tidy car. Nice to be back behind the wheel of a Mazda again. Feels like home

i've been hiding this for like 4 months but gently caress it yall are cool

so yeah i caught me a case of the genders. that's pretty important context for my reaction to all this. my state vocally and undeniably wants me dead, or at least cares enough about MAH TAX DOLLARS that they're willing to vote in politicians who do, which is functionally no different. i can't even claim the right wingers are a vocal minority anymore, 8 million people voted yesterday, something like 60% of the state, and we still lost.

gently caress this state gently caress the south gently caress the country gently caress this gay earth

Somewhere (massachusettes??) just voted to enshrine lgbt rights so it's not all lost keep fighting the good fight etc

Could tell it was a 323 from the profile immediately. The US did get Mazda/Ford stuff mainly in the Ford Probe/Mazda MX-6, sharing a few engines like the 3.0 duratec v6 that was in every tribute (maverick) and mpv probably a bunch of other stuff I can't think of right now

Hey question to ask without wading into console-specific threads in games, and I kind of trust the hive mind here a little more....

I am thinking about getting a new video game console for myself and probably also buy one as a gift to my father in law for xmas this year. There are some good black friday deals on and coming up and not sure if I should stick with Sony or jump to MS.

We both presently use a PS3 as our main home entertainment hub but not necessarily handcuffed to Sony, although I do like the Gran Turismo series. We do both own a PS3 and various assorted games along with it, although it doesn't sound like there is backwards compatibility so I'm not sure if that has any value. Besides, it's not like the current PS3 has to be thrown away.

We both have 1080p TVs, is there any benefit going to one of the "upgraded" consoles like the PS4 Pro or Xbox X for 1080p?

Not a huge gamer, but probably would end up buy RDR2 right away for myself, and I'd probably look for car racing games for dad. He also likes pinball games (like Pinball Arcade - owns every season in PS3).

Opinions for which way to go for the casual gamer? Online play is minimal, if any, we might sometimes play head-head in racing games but that hasn't happened in a long time. I see there is a good deal now for a One S bundle w/Forza.

The exclusives alone make the PS4 the obvious choice. You can't play Horizon Zero Dawn or Bloodborne on an xbox so what is the point of it?

"Good" and "Dr Who" is not something that should ever be put in the same sentance ever since I watched it well before almost everyone here was born. And it was still very much poo poo even in those ancient times - the difference being at least the stories were actually original and the special effects were new and looked half okay on a fuzzy 1960's black and white idiot box.

You probably shouldn't get so worked up about a children's TV show but you do you

Sorry bro, that's not a pot pie :P Fight me

Its a pot pie because the pie crust makes its own pot around the fillings. Can be beef, pork or chicken (hell, even saw a clam chowder one once...wasn't ballsy enough to try it though). But the crust has to envelope the fillings so it all cooks in its own juicy awesomeness.

Over here that's just called pie

Siochain posted:

And another wrong answer :P (but in all seriousness, is pie generic for sweet or savoury - aka apple pie and a chicken pie? or do you have some other wordage for a sweet/dessert pie?)

Pies are generally savoury. We usually get sweet tarts or crumbles rather than pies

Wow, one of the best Ferraris ever made imo, top five easy. How old are you? I'm an 80's kid so that had a lot to do with it I think, it was the best supercar of the 80's besides maybe the Countach .

The Daytona Spyder is my all time favorite tho, take some pics please if you ever get one of those in. Some pics of the GTO would be cool too, assuming that's what you have in your shop

I'm a 90s kid, though the F40 was the first car on my wall, so looks like I just missed it! Very cool car and I think I prefer the look of it to the F40.

Other classics we have in the shop atm off the top of my head:

250 gt
330 gt 2+2
Dino 246
365 bb
two 512 bb
three 308/328
two testarossa

and the 288

No pics unfortunately, not that anyone looks at this dead gay website but it's not just my employer but ferrari themselves get pretty anal about things posted online apparently so not gonna risk it
