https://www.vw.com/en/models/golf-r.html so I've been wanting this car when they introduced it on 2022. obviously post covid bullshit its been really hard to land a deal that does not involved dealer add on packages and markup. pretty much gave up looking and continue enjoying my non car payment life and just kinda cross shop with other vehicle but of course everyone else also have markup and dealer bs. i was pretty much set with the golf r and i know i wanted a White Golf R manual transmission. but here's the shortlist that was a potential and some are longshot https://www.vw.com/en/models/id-7.html <---- not out, like the look and prob within the budget https://www.polestar.com/us/polestar-2/ <---- need mods to make it somewhat look the way i wanted, within the budget https://www.polestar.com/us/polestar-4 <---- not out, if i eat rice and beans this is this the way. out of the budget https://www.volvocars.com/us/cars/ex30-electric/ <---- i like the look, within the budget, coming out soon, its a lifted hatchback. meh. https://www.audiusa.com/us/web/en/models/a5/s5-sportback/2024/overview.html <---- kinda hard to find used within the comfrotable budget and its getting outdated. https://automobiles.honda.com/civic-type-r <---- Rice and every single dealer wanted 5k-10k markup To be honest i dont think im ready for a full electric; granted that most of these cars prob go above 300 miles on a single charge but i just don't want to deal with range anxiety and sitting around just to charge my shit, and plus its prob a terrible time to buy since all of them still busy converting their line up to the tesla charging standard. soo how did i get here. beginning of the year i did a search on vw website and i send email blast to local dealers with in stock or incoming White Golf R manual. 2 dealer spamming me instantly. vw pasadena, and vw moreno valley. I drove to pasadena and checkout the car, talk to salesman and i'm like ok it's either now or more waiting. sales was easy to deal with with the obvious cringe sales tactics i was ok with MSRP because other dealers wanted ADM. finance tho; the guy is trying to sell me all this addons; from protection this, protection that, extended warranty for your extended warranty. it was obvious that he was upset and disappointed because i denied every single offer he threw at me. I'm already disliking paying a car at MSRP i don't want extra crap and just get me out of here. it was so uncomfortable tbh, why does buying a car needs to be like this. so dumb. i'm just imagining people who doesn't know better getting raped, and pressure into buying this extra stuff that they prob do not need and the dealer profit a few more thousands dollar out of you. i got ppf full front done and prob window tint to follow. The new tech is fun to play with. i have not try lane assist, dynamic cruise control, and parking assist. will add those impression once i get to try them. including the touch capacitive btns. car comes with hankook Ventus s1 evo 3 from the factory.

to follow up. the pulsar x2v2 is solid so far. no double clicks no random spin the coating still good battery is ok software is ok installed the superglide v2 skates. way better than v1. the v1 gets muggy after a while. slow down alot. affected with humidity, dirt,oil on the pads. v2 way more consistent. will buy again

not sure if i post this rant on the right thread but as some one who wanted to watch multiple diffrernt football leagues/soccer. why is it so fucking dificult and expensive; i literally have to sub to 3 different subscriptions to watch all of those matches.i get it this is all due to contract and deals for those streaming service but its getting ridiculous now. one league one service. premiere league = peacock nbc bundesliga = espn + premiere league = paramount + dumb

after many many many years since the begining of time i start gaming really. i always have used a logitech mouse. i recently ditch the gpro superlight to a pulsar brand x2v2 mini prelease. https://www.pulsar.gg/products/x2-v2-mini-gaming-mouse its only been 2 days but so far so good; hopefully good long term. i was worried about reliability due to the first batch ot the original x2 is bad. even kuhla warned me about this. glad that I delayed the purchase. what i like smaller / lighter / shorter (height) low hump click feels good main and side btns usb c (deal breaker if its not usbc) cheaper than the other wireless superlight flagship mouse. the bonus 4k dongle support coming motion sync

i dont understand how they still dont have 1. remake of menagerie 2. horde mode 3. sparow racing ?????

ive heard lemmy and kbin. its time to bring back google +

i dont think it matters. how big you want it? just make sure you figure it out where you want that planed speaker to be and if it looks ok aesthetically and functionallty for you. soo much monitor lul. im using 3 screens myself.

prius 2023 ?

everything seems to break before thanks giving soo im poor and still to recover financially.

thts pretty good i wonder if i can do the same on my cpu cause i have a space heater.

i was just thinking about it the other day, would monitoring input vs what is happening on the videogame engine would still required ring0 kernel access ? is this even been done before ? soo like if the input doesn't match what is happening on the screen then there are external tools interfering therefore ban lol

i dislike this. i don't entirely sure how developer think this is fair when controller player have sticky aim assist vs keyboard and mouse player with no assist. but this is the reality of it right now. apex, cod, destiny, battlefield. although some game you can turn off cross play matchmaking but i do understand the benefits. more player pool, you can play with friends who dont own a pc or the same console... etc... this is part of the reason i dislike playing apex or battlefield with the crossplay on. i cant get competitive. thats why i prefer playing cs or valorant for competitive fps. but then again those game have the ultimate problem. just straight up hacks. also on this front. i feel like there are still no reliable anticheat on any games. i guess valorant ring zero thing is close but then people get weird out about that. understandable.

kat uses my old g903 lol

damn 5800x is only 220 now lol. thats nice

ahh balls buying shit that i dont really want because the one i wanted will not be available. heres random youtube video

yah i think that's fair. i don't even own a firearms.

you know for the past weeks I've been just thinking about these stuff. while I'm not fully dummy dumb dumb in regards of firearms but i just don't know where i stand. soo many different opinions, statistics, rules/legislations, the bs or talking point from left and right. ITS SOOO confusing to be honest. now imagine people who have no clue about firearm trying to get their opinion about them. a lot of time when i see discussion is just mostly repeating the same stuff. MEGA STUCK on this one. but really this is just mostly me being annoyed because tbf all the information are out there. i just don't have the time to dove in and gather my data just yet.

i used to put protector every time but for my last ~3-4 phones i don't want to use them any more. i don't like the feel and look. The newer gorilla screen seems pretty durable, much more crack resistance but much softer easier to scratch and stuff. as long as i put my phone screen up on the surface and the only thing i put in my pocket my screen looks flawless.

i think my 4s lasted about ~30000 ish prob could last longer. my alignment was busted and it was eating on the inside. it was almost close to the steel. but there are more rubber on the outer. protip: if you're close to 30000miles on your tires, you should prob check your tire properly. i suspect most blow out happens cause people dont check their tire since a quick glance is not enough especially if its eating on the inside due to poor alignment / rotations.

hmm i think the daftpunk ram album is suggested many time that yosi horikawa is a good one. if you want bass just blast timbaland.
