So early October 2024 my gf asked me what I wanted for my birthday (end of november). Being a huge fan, I asked for Yeezy clothes. I liked almost everything they had on the site, so I let my girlfriend put together a surprise order.
When ordering she told me Yeezy announced 6 to 12 week shipping, so I will receive my bday present on Christmas of maybe later. A little disappointed at the time, but it's okay, we can wait.
No news form yeezy for weeks, my gf sent mails but ofc she had no answers. As we thought that we got scammed by Yeezy, we gave up all hope of ever receiving it. Until last week where she got an email telling us the order was sent and we will receive it in 1 week. So today, end of May, 8 month after I finally received my bday present, and I'm so happy with it. The clothes are very good quality and comfortable. Unfortunately, summer's just around the corner and and it begins to be too hot outside to wear it.

Here's what I got:
- SL-01, unfortunately too big for me, will sell them.
- YS-01, perfect size, more comfortable than the adidas one.
- HD-10, nice oversized shape, most comfortable hoodie I've ever worn.
- PT-04, a bit too big for me, but as a skinny bitch, almost every pants are too big... anyway, nice shape, the material is a bit wired, looks like a mix of leather and plastic tarpaulin. Not unpleasant, but will be super hot in summer and super cold in winter. Dunno if I'll really wear it one day.
- JC-05, awesome quality for a 60$ jacket. I just love it.
- SG-01, Really fun sunglasses, but a bit too weird to wear it everyday, and a bit too dark to drive with imo. Don't think I will ever wear it, but so cool to have the product, wanted it since the yeezyxgapxbalenciaga ones.

Thanks to my awesome GF who has endured my passion for Ye for far too long.

What did you guys ordered and what are you thoughts about the quality ?

Hi guys!
Pretty new in the hobby. I discovered the HW RLC but I don't really want to pay to subscription since apparently the stock is being snapped up by bots and eBay guys. Is there any other more accessible brand that makes quality 1/64 diecast with opening parts and funky/chrome/flacked paint ? I don't mind spending 60-90$ for a car quality but don't wanna buy them from the guys.

Got some big scratches on the side of the driver's leather seat of my Subaru (not even sure if it's real leather). I always thought I'd need to bring my car to a leather worker, but I just stumbled across this product on aliexpess. Any experience with that ? Is this product bad for the leather ? Is it working ?
If not good/can harm the seat, what would be the best way to do it myself ?

Hi everyone!

First of all, sorry for the typo. I'm not a native english speaker but I'll do my best to be as clear as possible.

So, six month ago I bought a new car. I found a 2017 Galaxy Blue Subaru Levorg 1.6 GT-S that looks awesome and is in my budget. The previous owner had made some light modifications to the car like OEM+. HKS exhaust outlet, STI skirts and front bumper kit, carbon steering wheel,... pretty nice for some I don't mind it, it adds a little twist to the car. BUT ! The previous owner was apparently an aliexpress carbon wrapping addict. He has put fake carbon everywhere on the interior trims and some on the front grill. Not only I personally found it extremely ugly and cheap, but the previous owners wasn't very good at it. The interior wrap was full of bubbles and very badly cut in the angles.
I got rid of that shit the next day.

6 month after, spring is here, sun is shining, time to wash all the accumulated salt on the car and detail it to make it shine !
After a good foamy wash, I was drying the car with towels and when I looked the passenger window frame, something instantly reminded me the carbon wrap. I saw, in the middle of the frame, a small cut that looked like a black wrap cut beside an other. I opened the door, removed the rubber seal, and saw the horror: a badly cut black warp around the frame! Seized by panic, I reached the back passenger door and, in the middle of the frame, a cut! I opened the door and saw the badly cut wrap.
I don't real'y know why, but only the front driver door has a real black paint. On the driver back door, the wrap was so badly made, it wasn't event completely cut, so I tried to pull it off to see what was behind, it broke but I saw the original galaxy blue.
First thought was that the car was completely galaxy blue and the previous owner wrapped the frames for the style. But after I looked at almost every picture of Levorg on the internet, I saw that all the levorg should have stock black painted window frames.
Something also pretty wired I saw was that all the stickers on the bottom right of the windows indicating infos of window was removed, and replaced by some weird stamps.

After all those research, my conclusion is that car was in a bad accident, was badly repaired and sold full price. In my county we unfortunately don't have any info about what happened to a car during his lifetime. As I'm not an expert I'm really scared about the future of the engine and the general state of the car. What are you thinking about? Help me please this car begins to drives me mad.

Sorry for the quality my phone is not a high end and sorry for all the pollen on the car.

From my first to the current:
- 2012 Mini R58 JCW
- 2015 Ford Focus ST Wagon
- 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce Q4
- 2018 Suzuki Swift Sport
- 2012 Seat Leon Cupra R
- 2017 Subaru Levorg GT-S

Or nah ?

Hello everyone!

For some time now, I've been thinking about changing my car. Not being very knowledgeable, I need your help.

I've loved JDM cars since I was a kid and have never had the chance to own one. With my adult savings, I think it's time to fulfill a childhood dream. So, I'd like a Japanese car from the 90s. My main concerns are about the reliability of a 30-year-old car. I'd like to use it as my daily, but as mentioned above, I wouldn't be able to do any repairs on it, so it needs to run perfectly. I've already had too many unreliable cars where I wondered every morning if they would even start...

What would you recommend that's fun, reliable, and moderately expensive to maintain? My budget is €20k, so please don't suggest Supras, and Miatas only interest me moderately.

Another point: I live in Central Europe where the roads are very salty in winter. Would it be better to have a second, inexpensive car to get through the winters, or would frequent washing be enough to prevent rust?

Thank you in advance for your answers.
