Why would I buy anything but a Toyota? Americuck car owners need not reply
>>27663286>BMW 3rd>Mercedes lastGeez, I knew Mercedes reliability shit the bed in recent years but being so far behind their n°1 rival is impressive
>>27663286I'll never buy a soulless appliance no matter how reliable it is.
>>27663286Toyotas are boring. They don't make a single interesting car. The supra is a bmw. The GR86 is a subaru. The GR corolla is a $40,000 (plus markup) hot hatch (overpriced, therefore not interesting)
>>27663286>>27663290>>27663295>Jeep is reliable>Kia is reliable>Tesla is reliableThese have to be made to trick fucking retarded redditors or something holy shit
>>27663286>Why would I buy anything but a Toyota?Mazda are more funner.

my 2009 chevy van with 5.3 vortec used to run at 40 no matter what Now it idles a but under 40 and and if I put my foot in it, it goes up to 60.What could cause this?Should I go down to 0W20 ? Right now I run 5W30
>>27654952Its fucking close to water
5.3s always leak from the crank sensor
kek meanwhile mines pushing 80psi guess ill swap to thicker oil and just let it thin out because i thrash the cunt so much
now i know what's wrong with my 03 silverado. guess ill take a show at getting it back to normal
>>27664283thicker oil just increases pressure
Opinions on old 911s?
>>27651473>hot air intakeevery time
>>27656968>while you listen to Schmee lispHI GUYS I'M SCHMEEEEEE :DDDDDDD
Fuck yeah.
>>27665603huh, im curious where'd you get the half a million dollar figure from?You know not everyone who owns a old 911 has a singer right?most people unfortunately have bone stock 911. And when I say bone stock I mean all the worn out blown the fuck out bushings and suspension components. There's no need to go overboard but a simple refresh of the suspension and engine rebuild goes a long way and doesnt cost half a mill.
>>27660092>>27659997They’re slow. Easily passing them on track in an A3. But they’re classy as fuck and fun to drive around. And soul and appreciating in value
Huh, I see why American automakers are so afraid. Outcompeted in real time.
>>27665440Big Yblack Dcock
>>27665427Natural. Every major power went through a phase of producing pure shit, then after awhile it wasn't too shit anymore. Japan did the same tech espionage/knockoffs strat China is doing back in the 50's.
>>27665468>barely half white>and some east asiansThe more these vanish the more America will dieEventually, it will be just as much of a shithole as any LatAm or Middle Eastern country, as the demographics needed to maintain a first world country will simply not be there
>>27665419they are good at making cheap EVs but their petrol cars always sucked,also none of those companies you mentioned make any simple,affordable cars anymore so they barely have any competition

>elon commands you to do some wild publicity stunt like showing how cybertruck is faster while towing a porsche than a porsche>you pick the slowest porsche possible>you modify the trailer>tesla loses anyway so you don't show the actual race, still claim tesla won>youtubers run the experiment proper and prove tesla can't wingreat video exposing tesla lies
why isn't this getting more attention? is everybody so used to tesla lying that nobody even bats an eye anymore?
>>27663654Cybertruck is faster and less expensive than Porsche
>>27664772Porsche has longer range so check and mate
>>27663874The fact that it was close and won a few of the races really doesn’t excuse Porsche IMo. And I’m a lifelong Porsche fag. First, the 911 isn’t necessarily designed to go fast in a straight line and drag races are lame anyway. But the 911 >$110k for a base model with nothing >mcdonalds >no lsd >brake vectoring is an up charge >rouglybas fast as an M340i >C8 Z51 is going to be ~80k for a super nice one with track ready options and GTS level performanceIt’s really not acceptable and a big fucking cyber truck towing one and the race being close enough that some debate is active about wether it really did it says all you need to know about the state of Porsche. It’s a cash grab operation

Can't decide if you shitheads need to go back to /n/ or /x/
>With a hint of exaggeration we can say that cars today are made to completely disintegrate the moment the warranty expires. The car producers don’t even want to make good cars; they just want to make money, so they make absolute crap that looks very nice and is very comfortable, and is very “environmentally friendly”, and then when a few years have gone by they want you to buy a new one (and the “environmentally friendly” car that they spent a lot of polluting energy to produce becomes polluting garbage). There is more money for them to do it this way than it is for them to make good cars.>Another problem with modern cars is the one you as a consumer have when it breaks down (and it will, at least when the warranty expires). It is close to impossible to fix anything in a modern car. You can barely change tyres yourself, and you can certainly not change a broken light bulb; you need a professional car mechanic for such a task – and the money to pay for this complex operation.>To sum it up: modern cars are designed to break down after a short while and you can not fix them yourself when they do. They are mere consumer goods.>The Soviet Union was a Communist regime, with very little talent for making money or for having the type of Capitalist ideas that car producers have today. The Soviet Union was also famous for caring more about the military than for anything else, so whilst people in general apparently had very little, the military cruised around in high quality vehicles (well, at least in vehicles made from high quality materials). Further, they made these cars for soldiers, in other words; they made these cars pretty idiot-proof! Even the average conscript was supposed to be able to fix things that broke.

>>27664649I get that he's a Europoor, but really all of his complaints can be addressed by just buying a well built car from the 80s or 90s like a Crown Victoria or an old Buick Park Avenue or something. Even old cars from the 70s can be pretty easy to repair with widespread parts availability due to standardization. I'd include 80s cars too, but some of them have some wonky electronic systems. In my crown vic if a headlight bulb burns out I can go to autozone and get a replacement bulb for 5 or 10 bucks and I can change that in the parking lot in 10 minutes. I also get a decent suspension system and air conditioning and mostly modern comforts. I can't help but think that Varg is just going for an aesthetic here. And there's nothing wrong with that. But surely there were reliable European cars from the 90s that he could have bought instead, no? Even if he went Japanese...a 90s honda civic or accord will last a long time with proper maintenance
>>27664649I don't live near Europe so a Soviet car isn't really practical. Living near Asia it's better to run a car that's popular in my third world neighborhood. They'll be fixing old Suzukis until there's no more gas.
throwing aside the troll nature of OPWell the sentiment is right and wrong, for many reasons and many aspects on both sides.I hope he doesn't get in a mid speed accident with his kids in that vehicle. Much rather get hit by a truck at 30MPH in my modern-ish shitbox with side airbags than a full steel military not-a-jeep.A plug job on my engine takes 4 hours or so, but that's 4 hours for 8-12 years depending on yearly driving. Far from a bad tradeoff considering modern engines have modern spark plugs that last 120-150k miles, his russian military special was designed for 30k plug life.Headlamps (the entire unit) aren't too bad either, bumper has to come off but that takes less than 15 minutes including jacking the car up and taking the wheels off. Half hour total, 8 screws for both light housings. Not bad.I do believe cars should be simplified, easier to work on, and intentionally designed to be longer lasting. At the same time nothing is perfect, everything wears out and needs to be replaced on a long enough time. Kinda big doubt a russian military not-a-jeep can hold up to everyday regular use without it's own set of necessary fixes.

What do Australians drive?
>>27660066Whatever they can bodge together.
>>27665157
>>27660066Live in a semi country area and I have been surveying the local carparks. I'd say about 1/3 still drive the typical Ford or Holden with more people keeping their old cars, back in the early 2000's probably 60 to 70% were Ford or Holden. Sometimes those Holdens are replaced with cheap old japanese cars. You have about 20% driving shitty CUV's like Mitsubishi ASX or similar. Probably about 30% drive the medium to small cars like Mazda 3 which I understand is popular in America. You got 10% or so driving only Nissan Patrol or Toyota Land Cruiser and nothing else. You then have those Chinese pickup trucks which can be in place of those CUV's, in some places they are really popular. Odd thing I noticed going to slightly wealthy city suburbs is so many around 2010 Toyota Corollas.% can go up or down depending on the day.If you go to some upper places 50% of the car will be mercedes or BMW. In certain areas the Dodge pickups are getting popular but I see them driving and not parked, they are often used for big boats or caravans.pic is a random typical street I had.

Why do most luxury cars, even sedans, still come in RWD? Is there something i'm missing for why they won't make the switch?
>>27664144plebs can’t handle RWD, so they reserve it for patricians
>>27664144awd has one serious flaw since the beginning of it that i can't believe nobody's overcome yet:when you're stuck in mud or snow or sand or any other not-4-wheels-on-dry-pavement conditions, instead of sending power to all the wheels, it sends power to none of them. it's so unbelievably retarded, i can't believe it ever made it past the drawing board. it's not even a design flaw or something inherent to the system itself. they literally make it that way on purpose. all it would take to fix it is probably a few extra lines of code in whatever bullshit traction-control module runs that shitshow.i had a subaru outback that slipped off the edge of my driveway couple winters back. one wheel on the pavement, with a little ice under about 1/2" of snow, and three wheels on frozen earth with the same 1/2" of snow on top of it. for the life of me, i couldn't get the car to get back up on the driveway. every time one of the tires started to hop up over the "curb" (my driveway sits about 2" higher than my lawn), the tire about to go over the top would stop spinning, some other one would start, and i'd skid sideways down the driveway, inching closer and closer to a tree.in the end, i tied up to an f150 - not even in 4wd in the same "adverse" conditions - and that thing pulled me back on to my driveway at an idle. didn't even give it any gas.what's even the point of something like that?
>>27664871Just open diff things
>>27664871yeah no one's overcome this one flaw lmao

Are Land Cruisers a meme?

Yes only Indians drive them
>>27664464In the same way Camry or Corollas are a meme. They're so ubiquitous here, I don't even notice.

What are the chances that these cars were sold during the pandemic?
wouldnt this be the ultimate shitbox? a million years of spare parts for when it breaks down. it could ruin the car market by making people buy fewer new cars

Brand name of the car on the windshield editionHonda is my favorite HondaNeed help identifying a chassis?>http://www.superstreetonline.com/how-to/chassis-suspension/1312-honda-chassis-code-checklist/The last one>>27590894
>>27664637I don't see why the 6 speed transmission out of a CM Accord wouldn't bolt up to that J series in the CL, Honda basically ripped the 6 speed manual out of their 6 speed J32 Acuras at the time and put it in the CM chassis 2003 Accord coupe EX-L V6, so it's actually not that rare of a transmission.
>>27664642That's good to hear, It's just that Honda only released the CL with a 6 speed for one year so the cars themselves are hard to find. I wasn't sure if they did some stupid shit like using proprietary transmission bolt patterns or something so nothing else could replace it. I'm ready for a luxury shitbarge that's actually comfortable to drive with heated seats and functioning AC for once in my life, don't want this to be a money pit.
>>27664647You should be fine, J series Hondas go for a really long time if you just take care of it.
Is 5k miles OK for oil changes for my Crosstour with 97k miles? Carfax seems to think it should be every 3months but I use full synthetic. Also how do I ask for "valve adjustments"? Must I go to the local stealership for this?
>>27665677Depends on the usage, and how fast the miles are being put on, if you drive a lot and hit your milage interval within a few months, 5K is perfectly fine, but if you do a lot of short trips and it takes a very long time for you to put 5000 miles on, and the car is being used everyday, change it every 3000 miles or every 3 months like I do because I get lots of fuel in the oil from cold starting this engine a million times and driving hard. I personally wouldn't even worry about valve adjustments at the dealer, I have seen J series engine go 1,015,000 miles without ever having it's valves adjusted, and the engine was only replaced because exhaust valve on #1 cylinder chipped off and the car lost compression inn that cylinder, it was quite amazing that engine had valvetrain never touched and the piston rings were not the problem after 20 years and a million miles, dude had just kept up on his timing belts and changed fluids.
