Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

thats comparing android to ios, so pretty apples to oranges. depends on which os you like more. Pixel 2 has a better camera.

Well they're two of the most highly praised phones on the market so I think it's somewhat fair, even if they run different operating systems.

I don't think someone can generally say one is "better" than the other because in the end it comes down to personal preference of OS... all the flagships are good buys right now if you got the money to torch besides the S8.

What's wrong with the S8? It's the phone that somewhat started this industry wide shift to tall full bodied screens  and like curved screens on some phones.

The S9 is coming out in a month and a half, and then the S8 will be brought down in price a ton. Then it'll be an awesome buy.

Oh yeah, could wait for it. But the thing is I just hate samsung's software. Either keep it st ock or don't radically change it. Honestly I'd say screw it to any new flagship and just buy a used 7 plus 128gb or something for somewhat cheap.

I might get a s8 as a burner phone if they are cheap enough.

Would you ever take a pixel 2 over one? I'm just imagining what current flagship I would theoretically get if I had money to afford either.

No.

Simple as that? OK going off the camera alone, would you still go pixel or you still staying with the X?

They are good looking phones don't get me wrong, but it's just the software is so.....ugly. But it's samsung, they've always been known for ugly UI skins of android.

I had two of those, one back in SA. went to 350 000KM with very few issues

 

bought one in NZ when I got here and poor thing was heavily abused and badly maintained. but still, love that shape, look at one recently as a Tow car for the track car. 

They're pretty cheap in NZ but most have done a ton of km's. I think we got our one at around 50 000km?

They do look pretty sharp I must agree.

Welp, I'll be getting a HPA intake manifold, valve cleaning, down pipe installed, and stage 2 tuning done! Next I think I'll need wider tires or a front mount intercooler when summer comes back.

Leave it to the newfies to name a town like that.  Had a coworker grow up their and told me the city sign gets stolen so often that they had to put up a permanent security camera to deter theft.

Note to self: 

 

20 more horsepower from Japanese engine sounded great.

 

that is until 5k miles later you go to pass someone on a highway and get clutch slip. 

 

Suddenly the smile turns to a frown, real quick.

 

 

i never even thought about that being an issue...not once did it cross my mind
