Would it be cool as a first car? I'm pretty close to getting one, but I've never had a car. Idk if I'm worthy lol or if it's a good idea.

Does the cobb tune come stock?

This dude is a dawg for this content

rigghhhhtttt

Good video. Holla from Chicago. Coming from a mustang gt. Just picked up a 2017 ST kona blue for 16k in 2024 before taxes😮 If your thinking if getting one. I say go for it and you won't regret it. The car rips!!! And has potential. Exterior mods for the ST look bad ass. Do it!!!

The word is the cobb access port is blowing up st engines!

hey man. i have the cobb big sf air intake on my car. i had it on for a year and had my car tuned by mike also. i just recently started having issues with my car not starting sometimes and what i mean by that is it will start but die right away or at low rpms it will want to stall. i put the stock air intake back on and went stock and its running better and starts.

man I'm saving up for one. I hope i can get one. I just think they're so cool 😎🤘

Yeah you got that right. What's with the grimacing facial expressions?

We came up with that in the 80s. You don’t happen to have an idea for a TV show about 2 country boys in an orange charger with the number 01 on the side do you?

I have a 2013 3.8 Grand Touring coupe painted in Catalunya Copper. I bought it new in 3/13 with 34 miles. It was my daily for over 8yrs. 11 years, 62,000 miles, 3 states and two relationships later it has been hands down the best car I have ever owned. I have a few modifications nothing to crazy. It’s now just a weekend cruiser to cruise and shows. Every year I see less and less of them. I remember at the dealership they only had three of them. Mine was a special order to be a dealer demo. But I snapped it up before it even hit the lot. The Grand Touring has everything except the manual transmission, 19 inch wheels and Brembos. I have only seen one other.

The answer to your question is, it really depends. A few years ago, I purchased a low-mileage, one-owner 2013 Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track, and I ultimately decided to sell it for several reasons. First, the Genesis 3.8 employs direct injection, which can lead to carbon buildup on the intake valves. While this issue can be addressed with a cleaning, it's an additional cost to consider. Additionally, I noticed some weak welds on the passenger side front quarter panel. If you hear pops and creaks from that area or sounds coming from the passenger side interior, this is likely the culprit. Aftermarket frame braces are available to reinforce that area, but a body shop would need to fix the welds and install those braces. As the car ages, sourcing parts may become more challenging, which is another concern. Moreover, what stands out to me is the lack of heritage associated with the Genesis Coupe compared to iconic models like the Miata (MX-5), Porsche, or Corvette. The Genesis Coupe is essentially a GT car masquerading as a sports car; it’s built on a sedan platform, unlike its competitors that are purpose-built sports cars with storied histories. While the Genesis can outpace a Miata off the line, once the road gets curvy, the Miata will leave it behind. I can personally attest to the joy of driving a six-speed Miata through mountain switchbacks-it’s an exhilarating experience that guarantees a smile and plenty of laughter! Having owned not only the Genesis but also other sports cars in this price range-including an NC Miata with a six-speed manual, a turbocharged Saturn Sky Redline, and a C4 Corvette with an LT1 V8-I can confidently say that the Miata, particularly with the manual transmission, is the most engaging and fun on back roads. While it might not win in a straight line, sheer horsepower isn't the only measure of a car's enjoyment. That said, I will give credit to the Genesis for its striking appearance, especially in black. The interior still exudes a premium feel, and on the highway, it handles well and offers a comfortable ride. However, I question whether it’s truly worth $17,000 when there are more authentic sports car options available for the same price.

that ''gla'' was an a45...

These are a great guitar. I've owned about 14 guitars and find myself grabbing this one more often than not for playing in live situations. The neck feels amazing and I'm quite impressed by the sounds I get from it. It feels good in the hands. Honestly if people can get past the snobbery towards the idea of it being a Squier, they'll find themselves a great guitar. I got this in a trade, didn't even know what I was getting other than two guitars for one I didn't want. I like both positions but I really really like the bridge rail pickup a lot. It sings. It's the most metal guitar I have and one of the biggest surprises at that.

I’m looking into getting a MK7.5 or MK8 GTI I got two babies in car seats but I wanna have fun

13.4 r spec manual quarter mile and some of them less

I own a 2017 ford focus st in 2024. I love it!

Please don't try to push those strident, tinny, shrill single coil pickups! Stick to PAF Humbuckers....no buzz all tone.

Yea yea that's my x lady...

nope my first is a Peavy

Strats are better!!😂😂

Yup. got 2 strats, 2 teles and a jazzmaster. metal jazzmaster that’s not the tacky trem kind.

The Squire Strat is a justifiably popular intro guitar because it’s good and affordable. It’s far from perfect, but it’s a good starter instrument. But, I always recommend that people get whatever guitar inspires them to play.

I have an ST1 and it has a sunroof

How hard was it to change the fog light bulbs? I have one thats out and I've heard it's tedious.

As a 25+ yr player.. I just Hate strays. They're too common. Iconic? Absolutely. That said I'm not a Les Paul (the model) fan either.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I have a couple of each all customized, and a couple of hollowbodies too. Pickups need to be quality and it will help a lot of guitars.

You can't go wrong with buying every guitar shape and styles, having the ultimate guitar collection. 😏

Babe wake up, the new Riley Stewart video dropped

Is he wearing a cheap watch? lol 😆

No value in a $90 guitar

i got mine 2 years ago spent a little over 10k to build it to 700whp and I love it, no one expects these lil focuses to be fast. The shop that built it usually works on big v8s but liked the focus so much he went out and bought his own😂

mentos cap +50hp!

I picked up a harley benton multiscale 8 string with active fishman fluences in it for 150$, plays better than my high end schecter

Here's the thing. Those $600 are what you want in a guitar. So it has a small potential audience and probably no comps to get market value. Also, you'll find out that most things are worth will be set by their lowest value part. Got a really nice house that you did a bunch of upgrades to, but the kitchen is unusable or the basement leaks? Cool, but the people that want the really nice house don't want to start with replacing a kitchen or fixing a basement because projects quickly go out of control.

For some reason I’ve never thought of putting stickers on the fingerboard like that, but it could actually have a really cool application for microtonal fretless playing. You could divide up your ranges of 12 semitones into other EDOs, and then mark them with different colored frets to indicate what’s what. Maybe you follow the pink lines for 31-EDO, blue lines for 22-EDO, and green for 19-EDO. That would be dope

Yeah never upgrade a Squier, Harley, etc.

I really respect that they were transparent about the price they were going to give you vs what they would sell it for. Obviously they low balled you because it wouldn't sell quickly at cost, but they didn't try to get over on you.

Guitar center is definitely not the place to get a trade-in deal and I would imagine Harley Benton is a dirty word in that store.

my experience they just want to pay bottom dollar if you try to Might just be the guitar center in my area but not good for sealing anything

I own a music store and I get this all the time with customers buying inexpensive guitars and putting a ton of money into them. I had a customer bring in a $300 Kramer and I told him that if he plans to keep it that's one thing but if he tried to sell it, it's still a $300 guitar. By the time he was done, he had $600.00 in mods into a $300 guitar. The day he picked it up he bought a PRS from me. 2 weeks later I seen the guitar on marketplace for $800, it's now down to $250 and it still hasn't sold. The moral of the story is if you're going to buy a cheap guitar and mod it, just take that money and buy a nice guitar.

I've been planning to buy and transition to an electric guitar for a while now. I've been looking at these guitars that aren't expensive, around mid-range, obviously like any other person I wanted one. However, I don't have the budget to buy guitars from that range. I kept hearing people say "It's not the bow, it's the archer, but an archer that has a bow with a crosshair would have sharper shots." and it crossed my mind that maybe I should just start with a cheaper guitar that has decent quality and improve with that guitar than buying branded guitars. This video convinced me to focus on improving instead of buying expensive and branded gears.
