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

not car related, but i got my parents to buy a brand new 2nd gen chromecast for ourselves. for 35 dollars, it basically turns my dumb 40 inch tv into a smart tv (since my dad refuses to upgrade our tv), so this is a very cost effective way to convert our tv into a smart one. i hope it's worth the 35 bucks we paid for it.

I own 3 of them and absolutely love them (1st Gen but still)

I know Samsung smart TVs don't do Spotify or screen casting from smartphones which is why I have one downstairs. (65 inch Samsung 4K Smart TV)

i almost wanted an apple tv since in college i'm most likely gonna have an iphone and maybe a macbook, but now that i see that chromecast basically supports everything, i'm giving apple tv the middle finger.

Stupid motherfuckers not merging in a merging lane. And fuck this place for having lanes like that. At least Hankook tires take curbs like a champ.

i cant stand when they put a merging lane on a super busy road and also make it super short... like what on earth are you supposed to do with that? 

there's one place here I can think of that's like that... always a line of people sitting there lol

They have this shit along I-10 basically the entire way, and it's infuriating. You'll have three lanes, where the rightmost merges with the middle. And then a couple hundred feet down it splits back up. Now repeat this the entire freaking way.

 

What happened is dildo in the red vehicle basically slowed down, the guy behind him in the green sped up to move over but took his sweet time (finally merged left when I was forced over). And the guy in the brown was riding my ass the entire time. Basically hit the horn, curbed my truck, and forced these idiots over.

Never really seen the appeal in the Apple TV tbh. Always loved the chromecast ever since they first were announced
