I am now. That works even better.

Hey I'm fine with the illusion of speed vs actual speed.

I just did a 0-95mph pull in Mexico in the WRX and it felt so cushioned and insulated. Not intense and exciting.

Meanwhile I recall going like 35-45 in the FR-S and feeling like I was driving some kind of street legal supercar.

Looking forward to seeing if I experience that same sense of speed and excitement when I get back into a FR-S.

I always wondered why so many early members with high post counts are banned.

There is a forum that I was a long time member of, and still am, that got hacked. They basically lost everything pre-2020 and it had a lot of historical data

There was a K bike forum that had "LongDeep (TM)(R)(C)" tech info I was a member of and got a lot of distilled wisdom from.
The owner had a hissy fit that was unexplained and shut it down.
Screw you guys! I'm going home.

Monkey brain want motorcycle badly. Plus I am now CA based and can lane split. Also plus I now have access to a lift which means more car wrenching is feasible and I will need reliable alternate transport.

Thinking a CBR600RR would be a sweet deal for a 10mi freeway commute alternate. I don't need the top speed of a literbike but 0-100 in about 7 seconds in very dramatic fashion for under 10 grand (well... good gear is another couple) is kinda hard to not want.

I have a leak from under the fuel tank, what is this fluid?

My car is making a clunking noise. Here is a video of me sitting in the passenger seat. What is it?

There needs to be a thread curating these types of questions.

You should've seen when I used to PM @Tcoat a bunch of questions 5 or 6 years ago

It'll be the same. Maybe a bit cushier than MY-13, but still go kart feels.
