Yeah- I suppose it's not. That's a fair point. I like to move around a little bit. I was in NYC for a while, now Chicago. I don't want to buy a new house and sell it every couple years. I'm very accustomed to 2500-3000/month for rent. I know I could.. not do that, but.. I'm going to still do it...
Don't hate on renting. Some of us rent because we want to rent, not because we can't afford to buy a house.
This also doesn't mean we don't own real estate as investments.
Absolutely. I would have loved NVIDIA to swoop up ARM and get some real engineering resources behind it.
Fuck everything that Softbank touches. They're always right on industry, but bet on the wrong brand.
In the early days, they absolutely will. And those (corporations) who invested in them will reap the long-term profits.
"Can't wait for major computers companies to switch to ARM. Compiler incompatibilities for days, nothing will work, they'll be slow." Then RaspberryPi -> Apple M1 Chips -> New...
That's fine, that's like 99% of people. Cars are a pain in the ass, people hate them, and just want to get to work.
That's just not true. I took the Tesla cross country a few times, Chicago <-> Denver <-> SF <-> Chicago. Chicago -> NYC -> Chicago, no issues or worries or struggles at all. Just...
Right.. when the value doesn't change, of course it says the same. And we all know the pops/bangs are from a tune, it has to be. The value absolutely changes the tone, that was just an idiotic test.
Also that guy is an idiot. lol.
The value isn't fake, it clearly works.
E85 from the pump is never (read: rarely) actually E85, it runs all over from E50->E85. The quality varies. If you tune on good, pure E85, then you get some trash E85 from a pump, say it's actually E70, you're going to be tuned for more octane than you have. That's why we use flex or measure...
Yeah- you could tune for just E85... The likely hood of finding
a) A tuner that will do this for a non-race car
and
b) A pump with 100% consistent E85
is low, but I'm sure it's around. If you're always using Ignite Red or something, yeah- but then why cheap out on the fuel system.
You also...
Lots of people. Lots of people buy what they want because they want it. Not because of the price tag. There are a whole lot of people that don't think about cars (or money) the way you do. A lot of folks are going to are their drag race their car into pure death, me included. Personally, I'll...
You're likely going to need more than a flex-fuel sensor to run full E85 if you plan on getting into boost. The stock fuel system can't handle it. Or detune it. Marin was just talking about this somewhere.
There are reasons that aren't money? Cars aren't an investment. They're a depreciating asset.
Potential advantages to buying used:
* Avoid Russia
* Avoid annoying break-in period
* Possibility of some cheap/free cosmetic mods that you might do yourself
* Lower compression on the 2020s
