I still remember playing FM7 for the first time and was blown away by how real the game felt on the controller. I could feel the puddles pulling the car to the sides. The feeling of the car sliding around through the controller. The vibration of the brakes and throttle.

So I bought FM2023 on launch and it had a good amount of players in every lobby. I stopped playing for 2 years and came back after playing FH6 and there is barely anyone in the lobbies other than in GT2/GT3.

Every lobby I join is just me.

I tried ACC but it just didn’t feel as polished as FM. And now that the studio is gutted I’m actually sad we won’t have another FM for a long time or ever.

This game used to be the flagship and now Horizon has taken over.

We broke up around a month ago and my ex gf is demanding back an iPhone she gifted me on my birthday.

She has already sent her friends to harass me and now she has called the police. The police came to my apartment forced me to unlock my phone and to show them the serial number. Apparently she still had the receipt for the phone and went to the police to report it as stolen.

They took the phone and now I’m wondering if this is normal?

I asked my sisters and they said it was her right to get the phone back. That phones are expensive and if we’re broken up then she should get it back. My male friends say gift are gifts, you can’t take it back.

INFO
- I broke up with her.
- I have also given her jewelry and I paid for most of our dates. I didn’t ask for anything back.

My mom wants all three of us, M, F, F, in our 30s to give her $300 a month each. She said this is for her retirement and that this is our duty. I would be fine with this if she had no income but she has multiple properties she rents out that earns more than we do every month.

All three of us don’t live at home and have children to take care of. My sisters are both stay at home moms. Their husbands will be the ones to pay this.

Here is some of our conversation:

I asked if she gives her parents money every month and she said no but she has given money to them before.

I told her we are all raising kids, paying rent, the economy is terrible. Her response was $300 is not much. The average worker here earns $1000 a month.

I told her I would never tax my kids like this while they’re trying to build their lives. Her response is that it’s our duty as her children.

To try and be non biased she did spend a lot of money sending us to private school. In return I do have a decent job earning higher than the average.

I feel like this is just pure greed.

Would I be the asshole for refusing?

EDIT
We are Asians so it’s expected of us. The problem for me is we each have 2 parents plus 2 in laws and she’s the only one asking for it. Our father isn’t asking for anything but he does have retirement. My mom does not. I couldn’t imagine if I had to send $300 each to 4 parents.

Hi All,

I'm looking to buy a R230 and I'm trying to figure out why the car sat for 3 years.

Recording date	Clock position
2022.04.13.	149,458
2022.10.21.	152,000
2025.03.04.	152,000
2025.03.27.	156,324

What could be the explanation? Car broke down? Odometer blocker? Odometer rollback?

I don't understand how it could've suddenly jumped 4000km in 3 weeks.

Would you still buy it?
