Hey everyone happy 4th! Hoping someone can help me figure out some tire sizes lol

Okay so this is for 3rd generation dodge chargers, I'm looking to do a staggered look with tires on the skinnier side (not fat drag tires haha) to give it that classic aggressive muscle car stance, so trying to see examples of what tire sizes look like on these cars, thanks for any help folks! And happy 4th of july

WRX vs Evo X — same price range, 10+ grand down from family, which is the smarter buy (stock only)?

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to decide between a newer Subaru WRX (around 2019–2021) and a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X (2008–2015). Both are coming out to roughly the same total price in my area if I finance the rest.

I’ve got a $10,000 down payment being offered by my grandma, which is huge for me, but she’s extremely frugal and strongly prefers I get a cheap beater instead of anything performance-oriented. That said, this is my one chance to get into either of these cars.

Important context:

Both options would be completely stock and kept stock

Clean titles, good maintenance history only

Intended as a daily driver (not a build or project car)

I’m in the Pacific Northwest (rain/snow, so AWD matters)

I do want to do basic maintenance myself, but nothing crazy

Reliability + long-term ownership cost matters a lot

My questions:

Between a stock Evo X and a newer WRX, which is the smarter financial/reliability choice for daily use?

Which one tends to be cheaper to maintain over time if both are stock?

Is the Evo’s age a bigger issue than the WRX’s drivetrain/engine reputation?

Realistically, is one of these a “bad idea” as a daily in 2026?

Also—separate question: Any advice on how to convince a very frugal older family member that either of these is a reasonable purchase vs just getting a $2k beater? She’s only helping if she feels it’s “responsible,” so I’m trying to approach it carefully.

Not trying to race or modify anything—just want the better long-term daily.

Thanks in advance.

Is the transmission or torque coverter failing?

Hey everyone, short time lurker first time poster lmao. Anyways, my fiancé's 2005 toyota sienna has been having some issues and i think its the torque converter or transmission possibly (engine definitely needs lots of tlc tho😅)

​

We'll start with the symptoms: if you like floor it to get on the freeway (shouldn't even have to floor it thats another concern for later) it revs really high like past 4.5k rpm before shifting and it shifts kinda hard and then revs high again before the next shift but not past 4.5k rpm after the first near redline freeway merge, after that when not actively accelerating it drives and shifts just fine at freeway and city speeds, BUT sometimes at like a yellow turn arrow at an intersection, if theres a clearing and i go to take the turn left itll start to go at first and then like half way through the intersection mid turn it feels like the throttle is doing nothing i could literally be pushing the pedal all the way down, rpms wont change and itll be going like 5 miles an hour until suddenly the rpms jump high and it lurches the car forward and then starts driving fine again.

Me and my fiancé cant afford another car let alone a newer sienna (4 kids) to replace our 05 and im worried this one is gonna die on us soon, theres also a code for clogged catalytic converter but im gonna handle that in a few days myself hopefully. Any help greatly appreciated and if clarification is needed i will gladly answer questions as best as i can!

My 1969 dodge charger v10

Hey everyone, made as close to my dream car as i could in this game haha (i actually want all the design of this one on a 1973 charger instead of a 1969 but no one likes that generation so it's not in any games haha) anyways its named Marceline, got a viper v10 swap with twin turbo and max upgrades, white wall tires and lifted drift suspension and some other stuff (still working out transmission gearing tbh, cant find a good sweet spot of nice and drifty and actually controllable in a race lol)

My current main team! What yall think? (Not the current levels in game just a projection for stats)

Hey everyone, heres my list of what pokemon im using in violet now! They are all around level 55-65 in game, just put them at 100 to predict final stats roughly lol. i know its not the most balanced at all haha, literally straight up STAB move glass cannon in the most literal sense🤣 zero status moves and high attack and special attack stats and high speed stats all around (obviously atk and spc atk boosted on the respective pokemon its needed on) just like 9 year old me would be proud of! 😅
