Oh man thank you so much for mentioning him! I’ve been struggling to remember a book of his that i read a while ago

Secondhand cigarette smoke (but not too strong) even though i’ve never smoked

Huh, reminds me of myself except the unapologetic part (maybe i’ll change over to that someday). I do feel like the selfish/stubborn part of me is insurmountable and incompatible with the types of relationships i envision for myself. Nothing else to contribute, just here to share my thoughts and/or commiserate

Ergo gang 🤝 nice xda keycaps, build looks clean

The views on the blue ridge parkway are great! Are you going to be around the tail of the dragon area (border between NC and TN)? The roads there are even twistier

I think it’s taking it literally i.e. people who don’t know made the picture on the left, people who do know made the picture on the right

Lookin good 👍

I think you just have to get lucky with being able to find the spec sheet for the exact model you’re working with. Otherwise 🤷

Well that’s up to the audience to decide

Shitposts aren’t supposed to be high quality. It’s in the name

Looks like a JD

Thank you for acknowledging central jersey :)

Happens to the best of us :)

Does the instruction on the first line of the file not work?

I don’t personally have experience with a diverse multitude of cars (and transmissions) as a whole either, but i’ve heard plenty of good things online about the zf8 as probably one of the best torque converter automatics on the market for sporty driving (e.g. having very responsive shifts). It supposedly does not feel like a “slush box” which i’m assuming exhibits many of the behaviors that you’re describing for a typical torque converter automatic.

In terms of drivetrain choices for daily driving, fully electric bevs seem to be the best fit. Instant torque, lots of torque, probably lower maintenance(?). And i say this as a lover of manual transmissions (my miata is currently in the shop though 😢)

Even the zf8?

I’ve played through all of them with a friend. They"ll definitely test your communication skills :P highly recommend them!
