The "Everyday" show-off thread !

Was able to snag this 30th Anniversary Edition Portal from a local shop. Reminds me of my old PSP days in college.

Except PSP is still better than this because this is just a streaming device. Its of no use without a PS5
You are absolutely right but being a dad of a 2 year old this is a life saver as I can play anywhere in the house and even utilize this in office while having free time during lunch.

Without this my PS5 has little or no usage as I have to wait while he is not roaming around during gameplay. Also cloud streaming is now possible after latest OS 4.

Does cloud streaming work in India? I don't even see the option on PS5

Congrats, i bought the Gt Line 1.0 Carbon Steel about 6 months ago.. i was confused between this color and the carbon steel aswell.

I regret going for the 1.0.. should have coughed up the extra 5-6 lakhs for the 1.5. I also liked Kushaq's shape a little better.. but they didnt have the black trims available on this. Any specific reason you chose this over the kushaq?

Overall, its a very good car.. except for the medoicre road presence and plastic/rattling cabin noise.

Edit: I also changed my tyres day 1 to continental 225/50/17's.. only had to pay a additional 14k INR for that.. that mod is well worth it.. the grip on high speed turns is exceptional.. recently i was in rajasthan and they performed very well.

Thanks, i test drove both the kushaq as well as the taigun, i liked the taigun drive much better overall than the kushaq, plus my cousin also owns a taigun. Overall my decision was based on the following drive dynamic, less tech (no fancy features as the car is also used by my dad, so less is more) and interior of the taigun seemed a little better to me as kushaq. I actually like the road presence, it doesn't shout look at my like some of the other cars our there and the cabin is super quite (its a new dec 2024 mfg car, not sure if older cars have this issue).

The cabin was super quite when i bought it too.. i had heard about this issue from youtube reviewers amd thought maybe i got saved.. but no.. its seems it caused by dust buildup between the plastics.. its nothing major and can be easily ignored.. but once you hear it.. it kinda triggers your OCD. I hope you dont get to expeirence it.. Enjoy your new ride!

Ah, wasn't aware of this. Well, its part and parcel of owning a car... issues will keep coming its a machine at the end of the day, cant spoil your headspace over these things.

Should have met. A race between Virtus vs Taigun would have been amazing. I got the Lava Blue Topline AT last year.
