I'm not familiar with First Mining, but if it's the $0.10 gold stock FFMGF, I'd guess they are low on cash and need to finance. Those stocks are going down despite the gold rally because the banks and smart investors are shorting them, waiting to pick up a dirt cheap finance deal with a full...

How are your silver mining stocks doing now that silver is $32? :popcorn:

Everyone hates the GTS and Cayman R's gearing, it's so tall you can't rev the car out easily. Honda did it right.

I'm also size 12, the only car I could comfortably heel & toe (by rolling my foot to the right) was my E36 325i, because BMW uses a huge gas pedal that's very tall. Even the E46 330i was more difficult, because the brake travel was less, so I couldn't push the brake far enough in to roll my foot...

Is it thread jacking to talk about stocks in a stock thread? :D Back in like 2016 when I got a field service job, I started listening to podcasts about mining stocks and financial stuff, but more of the apocalyptic genre. At first I listened to a lot of stuff from the "sky is falling" crowd...

I have a lot of junior silver (and gold) mining stocks, so I'm with you. Silver lags gold but when it gets going, the gains are impressive, and silver mining stocks go bananas. Extremely high risk though, and I use a couple paid newsletters. I think silver is heavily manipulated (how many...

I've not driven in Korea, but I have driven in Taiwan (right hand drive), Japan (multiple places) and New Zealand. Traffic laws in Taiwan are nearly identical to the US, just things like there's never right turn on red. Since Korea is right hand drive it shouldn't be hard, in Asia the road...

I think I did about a 20 min Nurburgring lap with my rental Fiat Punto, 80 year old dad and pregnant wife in the car. We didn’t know til 2 weeks later she was pregnant. 😂

so you liked or hated the manual 440i? BMWs aren’t involving any in normal driving anymore, lots of power doesn’t help. That’s why I went back to Hondas. The light weight and manuals make them fun to drive day to day. You need to be on a track for modern BMWs to come alive.

VW doesn’t want to sell GTIs, they want to sell EVs. That’ll backfire on them of course.

I was excited for the CX70, rear drive inline six platform between CX5 and CX90 in size. Alas it turned out to be a 5 seat CX90, which is typical Mazda stupidity. to the OP, you obviously like trading cars, whatever you buy will be gone in a year so I won’t make suggestions.

Oh man, if they have discounts like that when I get back to the US in 2025, I'll have to get one! And it's got front and rear armrests, something the GRC, ITS and CTR don't have. :D

Watching Gran Tourismo made me want one, despite as you said no manual.

That's awesome. I think the CT4V BW starts at $63k, did you get a discount or buy used? I absolutely would not pay an ADM for a GM product, no matter how cool it is. Gotta draw the line. :D If the CT4V BW came with a normally aspirated V8, it would be my top choice. But the V6TT takes it...

2025 GTI gets steering wheel buttons but loses the 6mT, I’d guess the R does also. GTI manual sucks anyway. To the OP, unless you bump up to $70k for a CTS4V Blackwing there’s really no 6mT alternative. I’m sure the Cadillac dealers are total aholes too.

more of a Sport Touring competitor if you’re talking about the 6mT Premium.

Used one, can’t get a new manual non M car. I’d take an ITS over an M2.

same here, I don’t put these two cars in the same category of driving fun, especially the M240i being an automatic. M2 would be more comparable. I think on track or a great road a powerful automatic can be great fun, but in day to day driving the manual adds greatly to the enjoyment. do it...

a lot of stocks and stock sectors did bust, like small caps. Sectors like cannabis and biotech are down like 80%. It’s only the large indexes like the S&P500 that has stayed high due to the top 7 stocks which are AI related tech stocks making up 40% of the index. The markets have been waiting...

My older son is 12, my plan is to get him a 10th gen Civic hatch Sport 6mT (he loves the look). But we'll see how he does learning stick, a CVT might be better for him to have less to worry about as he learns to drive. I think you absolutely want Sensing or something equivalent and parking...
