How are 987 boxsters for long haul road trips? Considering renting one to road trip through Arizona and the Grand Canyon but am worried about comfort/Droning and awful road noise.

Thanks in advance for any feedback. I know it’s somewhat of a subjective question but I have no idea how to tell. My point of reference (current car) is a 2009 Honda civic. The car I’m looking at renting is a 2010 boxster S. Thank you

Best Losi NASCAR 1/12 scale battery spares?

Hi guys, I just bought a losi nascar 1/12 scale and only get 25 minutes of run time but it takes over an hour to charge and I’m using a fast charging power brick as well as the charging adapter that came out of the box. Not so happy with it but I figured I have to buy spare batteries in order to make up for it. The spektrum ones are expensive. Are there any other alternatives? Also can I go up in battery capacity like 2200mah or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys

Kyosho Fazer Mk2 vs Traxxas 4-Tec vs Tamiya TT-02r/s

Please help me choose my first RC car. I don’t know much about this hobby but I want to get my first RC car so I can set up cones in empty parking lots and drive around. I was leaning towards the TT02 until I realized how much work goes into building it and I’d rather not build unless I have to. I’ve heard it takes hours. Any help would be appreciated as I don’t know a ton about this. Also is the TT02r and TT02 type s worth the extra money over the regular TT02? Thank you.

[HELP] PS5 stand damaged my PS5 Pro. Threads stripped. Screw doesn’t turn or tighten

I ordered this knock off ps5 stand on amazon, thinking that the $30 for the OEM one was a rip off. I was wrong.

Essentially what happened is that I hand tightened the screw, I did NOT go crazy with tightening it. It had a turn or two left with the screw driver. When I tried to take it out, I found that the screw kept turning and was permanently stuck due to the inner threads inside the ps5 being shredded by the screw. I believe the screw might have been slightly out of tolerance for that to have happened and now the stand is wobbly and stuck inside my ps5.

The vertical stand is too wobbly to stand on its own but also can’t lay flat due to the vertical stand being stuck on the ps5. I could get a set of pliers and yank it out (maybe) but then I definitely won’t be able to put any new screws in there when I buy a real OEM stand.

I also thought of just taking it apart and replacing the housing but that’s way too much work and requires a complete disassembly, including internals. Really don’t know what to do. If anyone knows a solution, please help.

I was at a local cars and coffee and saw one of the nicest base models ever. I’ve been in the market for a c6 and thought that I’d have to get a grand sport or z06 in order to love the look. There was a stock base c6 right next to it and it just didn’t look the same.

He clearly has a front lip, side skirts, and a rear spoiler. What else does he have here that isn’t stock? Is it lowered? I’m trying to figure out what makes this base c6 look so damn good.
