On a brighter note, I just put a deposit on some MCS 2WNR coilovers for the Supra. Hoping it's a nice upgrade from Ohlins! For what they cost, they better be...
based on my NC Miata with Ohlins and a different NC Miata with MCS 1 ways I got to drive (autox and street), they absolutely are

I mean, is this the first car they have ever owned? Am I just a old grumpy bastard now? Totally their fault for not knowing what they were getting into. Everyone knows yotas rust like a ****.

Just having some fun. Social media has always been a dumpster fire, and I think you're looking back with some rose colored glasses. I'm constantly coming across old threads around here that are just nonsense.

TLDR: shlts always stunk.

Hahha you're right, there has been many dumpster fires here too. Maybe I just need to move to an island with a race track and no internet. :P

Hahaha, The tesla forums are probably worse than any of the others out there. Just some of the most basic car questions, and same regurgitated questions every day.

A few guys doing good stuff and learning the car in Driving Dynamics section but its mostly face-palm

I have to assume a good chunk of that is "How do I make my tesla stop/start farting"

I leave these guys alone with that, especially friends. I like that true-nerds are spending their money on things not lego or starwars

Social Media ruins everything.
Same questions on a daily basis because there is no way to effectively search for info, as we've all discussed.
I am constantly redirecting Evo owners back here. You can only lead a horse to water...
