    What vehicle do you drive?

    2015+ 4cylinder Mustang isn't a big car and doesn't drive like muscle, has ~310 hp/3500lbs. Can probably find convertible+6speed that hasn't been beaten to shit, unlike the GTs.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Assuming you don't just blow the engine, the rest of an old Miata (tires, brakes, radiator) isn't built enough for that extra power. Mustangs from 2010 still had live axle and drive more like vintage muscle. 350Z is starting to get pretty affordable

    People that put on shit decorations never take care of their cars. Also huge doubt to "garaged in winters" when they opted for the weight adding AWD option.

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    Doing anything desktop related on a TV is generally unpleasant. An IPS monitor will still be the best for what you're doing. OLEDs are better but expensive and will burn in from real spreadsheet work. 144+hz is a nice luxury even for desktop use. Put one or two of the old monitors vertical...

    "100%" here can be misleading; if the electricity is generated by natural gas, you're getting less than half the heat that you would by burning that gas locally (a furnace.) Can also get way more heat with the same amount of electricity using a heat pump.

    Looks like a vintage typewriter except for that black border. I prefer pudding caps since they blend with just about anything.

    Sunroofs are alright if you live somewhere without too much sun and park in a garage/never under trees. Open air feeling without the hassle of a convertible, more so for cars with a lower belt-line. Stupid if you aren't going to have it open in good weather, and in trucks/suvs.

    That's pretty normal. 3d cache insulates the cores from the cooler, so x3d runs pretty warm despite not using that much power.

    Dodge can't do much anything, since they're almost all re-badged FIATs now. Well Dodge doesn't have the skills or components since most of the design and key components are oversees origin. How much do you really think you can trust a newly released hybrid, with Italian electronics, Mexican...

    They aren't good cars anymore. Since they were bought by Renault quality fell off a cliff, those JATCO CVTs in almost every Nissan are probably the worst transmissions in the world. That's why they compete with Chrysler for the ghetto market.

    Remove buttons, replace with voice controls that require a dozen+ electrical components to be in perfect shape; in order to work half the time. If only there was a fun, cheap, more reliable option with knobs and buttons. Oh well. While we're fantasizing, a hand brake and the ability to turn...

    One of the worst modern car trends has to be big wheels and low profile tires. Who wants good ride or durability when you can look kewl with no meaningful benefit!

    Paddle shifting isn't rowing gears, putting a big engine in a Mexican suv isn't making a sportscar. I'm sorry you need wide seats / your legs are tired from work / wife won't let you buy one.

    OLEDs are amazing new but that doesn't last long enough for everyone. I've seen ones on display at Best Buy that already look way worse than my acer IPS from 2015 (damn near 180 degree 'viewing angel,' too.)

    4wd would just be a waste of money in your case. As a bonus you'd get less fuel mileage and eventually need extra repairs from never using it. RWD is generally more traction than front wheel drive, due to weight shift and almost all front wheel drive cars having an open differential. What...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    The 20 year old engine that's been duct taped together since Oblivion is heavily bottle-necked by cpu <==> memory pipeline, especially in cities. Doesn't help that all the in game settings only effect GPU load, except crowd size. In my case it's not too bad when you're getting it for free with...

    I'm not so sure, In 8 months the 7900XT's MSRP has had to drop by $100 + free Starfield, and it's still not selling without extra discounts. 300W card with 20G vram can't be all that cheap to make.

    Even with cash you're paying 10k to get a likely worse vehicle. On top of the typical rolling dumpster fire of problems that you'd expect from any new model GM economy car, it's awfully big for an untested GM turbo 1.2L 3 cylinder.

    Well, you've needed to do exactly that to enable XMP (Intel) since DDR3 came out in 2007. It was pretty damn simple compared to most overclocking back then. It's always one of the first things in the "how to get more out of your pc" type PSA videos, too.

    The inverter charges the 12V, is also powered by the 12V; and on most NON TESLA EVs won't engage while the car is off.

    Wouldn't be all that surprised if the woman left the trunk open or dome light on. Software/electronics really should be smarter at managing the 12V battery by now, anyways. Real reason Toyota is selling that prototype is government coercion.
