2 days agoWhat’s really interesting is when people take an actual lawn mower like the Kei class Honda Beat with its 3 cylinder 7k RPM mid chassis engine and engine swap it with a 200HP motorbike engine to get one of the most insane sleeper cars of all time.
I used to have a VW Polo that had turbo upgrade, full muffler refit, high flow cat, pod filter, tuned ecu, upgraded brakes, tires, adjustable suspension. This little thing looked like a basic nothing. Stock standard white paintjob piece of rubbish, sitting silent at the lights. Until you punched the pedal, then it’d roar like a dragon and take off like a damn rocket. It wasn’t anywhere near as good as my Golf R overall, but it was a stupidity fun little go-cart.
I have a clamshell “z flip 6” prior to that I also has the 3 and before that the 2.
I’m extremely clumsy and always drop my phone. Prior to these flips, my primary reason for upgrading was that I cracked the screen. I’ve never once cracked the screen on my flip because it’s always inside and the case covers the entire outside when folded.
I also haven’t observed any issues with the hinge area cracking on any of them. Not sure if I’m just lucky. But I do tend to sit there and stim opening and closing the phone repeatedly so I don’t think it’s due to my usage.
My partner is a mad keen photographer and has the fold out tablet style one and loves the big screen for viewing photos and websites, but I like the little one because it fits in my tiny pockets and purses.
