Should I go for a 1st/2nd gen mazda3 or a protege5?

I'm looking to get a fun, pretty cool daily, I either want to get a mazda3 2.3 or 2.5, but there are also some protege5s at a similar price and condition as the mazdas im looking at, thoughts?

Steam cloud loaded a gamestate from well over 2 years ago

I havent played dark souls in like 6 months and I was gonna play, I saw there was a cloud error so I hit retry, and when i opened it, it was halfway through my first playthroigh, which was over 3 years ago, all my saves were gone, and I dont see any way to revert to a different state, i tried to go to the steam remote storage site, but it only shows this most recent one, how could i fix it?

I havent played dark souls 1 in a few months, steam killed all of my playthroughs

So i was gonna play one of my unfinished playthroughs, but saw a cloud error, so I retried it and it synced, but when i opened the game, it put me into a state that hasn't existed for well over 3 years at this point, halfway through my first playthrough, when I had 3 or 4 finished playthrough save files, has this happened to anyone else and in there a way I could recover my old files?

Is the passenger side damage enough to walk away? (Read body text)

I'm looking at a 2007 mazda 3 s 2.3 automatic with 150k miles, I live in the pnw in washington , so not a super bad rust state, the car is already overpriced, and I will not be paying asking price if I do buy it, but is this damage enough for me to just walk away completely?

Some kid in his dad's ETK hit my LeGran, this is the dashcam footage.

I'm just glad it was my shitbox and not somebody else's only daily (dashcam music theory)

I want a fun, slow japanese beater than I can chop up and mess around with, which should I get?

I'm deciding between a

  1. 1987 ibishu pessima 1.8 dx manual

  2. 1990 ibishu covet 1.5 dxi manual

  3. 1995 Hirochi Mistral 1.5 SX manual

the pessima was fun, good throttle response, probably the fastest I test drove, but it was loud, felt like the sound deadening did nothing, I'm worried teh droning would get obnoxious

the covet was good, I mean it's a covet, pretty fun to drive and has a lot of potential

the mistral is pretty good looking, throttle response left much to be desired, but everything else was great, had the best interior of the bunch too

What's a pretty fun, pretty reliable, automatic daily?

I've been looking at a couple cars for a while, i'd like one around 2000-2010, $3k-$8k, i wouldnt mind a +/- manual mode, but not completely necessary, no cvts, reliability is my top priority, but i'm willing to sacrifice some reliability for some more fun, but not too extreme. I've been looking at Honda fits, crown vics, Ford rangers, a few v6 mustangs, some yaris's, a couple early '00s pontiacs, but everything i've looked at I haven't fallen very in love with any of them, some recommendations? Also no premium fuel cars, and i'd prefer ~20mpg minimum

After the truck crash from one of my last posts, my ex employer has served me with legal papers, saying they're suing me because I crashed their truck. I'm already talking to lawyers, as I was told that the truck had been inspected and approved just two days prior, the company is IDLC (Industrial Delivery Logistics Co) I wouldn't recommend working with them any time soon. Hopefully some updates will come soon

So i want a new fun car to drive around on the weekends, since I sold my 240bx and CCF (just wanted a big change). Now I'm leaning towards the Kr6, it's a sweet little sports car that's a joy to drive, but I can't not consider the regal japanese RHD v10, it just feels so cool to be in. Thoughts? It's a pretty tough choice for me

This isn't the first time I've had issues with their vehicles, but it is the first time it's caused a crash, definitely not staying with this company after this, thankfully I and the pessima driver are both fine

I've seen a few posts with music in them and haven't seen anything said about it, so I'm wondering if there are any guidelines for it

It's a 1993 Ibishu 240bx DX liftback, Widebody kit, I swapped the engine to a 5.5L v8 with a stage 1 twin turbo kit, making around 330 horsepower 408 lb/ft of torque with 53,000 miles on the engine, 65,000 on the 5 speed transmission, and 198,000 on the body. It has 17x9 Wangan-3SP Wheels, stripped interior, one bucket seat, I have another bucket seat and mounts that I never got around to installing in the passenger side that you could have too, not sure exactly how to price it, send over some offers if you're interested, and any questions you might have send them my way please. Runs and drives have never had any issues, in Belasco
