Should I get Goodyears or cheaper tires for my pizza delivery car?
If it's a pizza delivery car just buy the cheapest chinese shit you can or buy used tires which as retarded as it sounds, are a real thing
>>27664870Go to the mexican used-tire place and get the cheapest set you can find. Drive like a grandma until the tread is completely gone. Repeat. Maximum ROI.
>>27664870Prius, the older the better. Bring your own beer.
>>27664870Cheapest used tires with tread you can get with DOT number from 2016 and up.

Screens in cars is new for me.But also, I am 1 person, 40 years old, no plans to date or transport people. Literally, not a single other person has rode with me in this car that ive had for almost 20 years. A passenger seat and back seats are basically useless to me and my groceries are rather light. Every generic suggestion i see is quite large. Japanese kei cars arent sold here.

just learned you're supposed to grease the tow ball before towing
At least you learned. It's not super important though it just makes the ball and hitch wear a little less.
I always grease my tow ball before hauling your mom xD
can you guys give me a reliability rundown on 2010ish pickup trucks? i want a truck and my budget is for a 2010 one, i will be using it as a DD so i dont care about towing capabilities, etc since i wont be using it for truck stuff, i just care about reliability and looks and cant decide which one i want yetFor looks my list goes like this from best to worst>dodge ram>gmc sierra>ford f150>toyota tundra>chevy silverado>nissan titanSo ideally i want a ram but are they unreliable?
2011+ Rams are OK but they should not be top of your list. They suffer from electrical gremlins and threw engine codes right off the dealer lot back in the day. Hemis love to fail even moreso than GM afm motors. They eat camshafts for breakfast. 2007+ GMs are more reliable but some people consider them boring or bland. Me? I went with a 6.2L GMC. 2009 was the first year for ventilated seats and bluetooth, 2011+ got bluetooth audio and USB ports if you care about that. I prefer using the aux port with a physical cable for superior sound. Speaking of superior the high trim GMT900s have excellent Bose audio with high clarity tweeters and 10 speakers. Sounds better than most cars today. Anyway, you want the 6.2L engine and 6 speed transmission. GM is parts bin for sure but the higher trim level trucks are definitely built 'better' in some way. Dashboards crack (all brands) but for $300 and a few hours work you can put a brand new oem one in. Fords are just shite don't bother. No better than a Land Rover of that era. Rust kills everything but on the GMs the bed side acts like a zinc anode and all the rust seems to concentrate there. Fender liners were a dealer option but if you find a truck with them odds are it won't be rusty. Pop the tail lights out every spring and flush out the inner fender.The Tundra is alright but it is underpowered, spartan, and burns fuel like no tomorrow. Not worth the toyota tax. Nissan Titan? Eh they're rust buckets but it'll work fine if that's what you like. Similar to Tundras. Third worlders killed most of them.

Hi Autobros.I was thinking about how fewer and fewer 'luxury' cars today have wood in their interiors. Is it merely cost-cutting? I asked an AI which mentioned sustainability as being a reason, as if plastics and synthetic materials made from oil are more sustainable than trees which can be replanted. Are Mercedes, Jaguar, Beemer, Audi and the others relying on the prestige of their names to some extent for an appearance of luxury, whilst lowering the quality of the cars for the sake of a wider market? I understand that tastes may change, but surely the market demand for wood interiors hasn't diminished to such an extent that it's the reserve of Roller and the like? What are your thoughts?Also, thread to post some nice car interiors you really like. :)
>>27664609Spoken like a true know-nothing land-bound retard. Avast, ye scurvy dog.Wood has propelled humanity across the seas for centuries before the internal combustion engine was even imagined.
>>27664442To HIV maybe
>>27664604Your pic does look a bit better, but I'd still rather the Jag, personally. The W180 however is very nice, I must admit.
>>27664610I still think I prefer the Roller, but I will concede the Merc is very pleasant looking. Also love the linear speedo.
>>27664609I don't think I can agree with you. If you're making a cheap and economical pleb-box, plastic is a fine and sensible choice. If you're making a 1980s sports car and looking to save on weight, it's also logical. But for a genuinely comfortable, relaxing and aesthetically pleasant, luxurious environment, I think a touch of wood at least is a must.
Quirky features you find important in cars but others may not, or may actually dislike
>>27664256they all do mong
>>27664198>>27664198>Literally false; EVERY nigger fucking nu car comes with fogsYou should never go full retard. Everybody knows that.
>>27664256Every sunroofed car I've ever been in the glass is approximately where the solid top headliner would be but the perimeter of the opening ends up recessed into the cabin about 2 inches presumably for the opening track+motor so the roof line doesn't look retarded. So what ends up happening is if I'm literally in the center of the car (in the middle of a purely hypothetical bench seat) I have about the -same- headroom as if the sunroof wasn't there, but in driver/passenger seats the perimeter (and the cabin intrusion) ends up directly over the seats and forcing me to either uncomfortably slouch in the seat, recline it to ghetto-cruiser tilt, or sit up straight with my head tilted 30+ degrees sideways. I'm happy you seem to enjoy them but I hate them for the nuisances they impose on me for no benefit.>>27664299>this one model doesn't come with fogs haha i winThe other 99.9999% of vehicles out here do so blow me, faggot.

>>27662316Why would anyone try to live in an rx330?These minivans are bigger and cheaper. You just buy them from an old person and register them without having to visit state patrol and paying extra to fix stuff
>>27662493Lmfao and youre bidding on copart auctions in philly? Yikes
>>27661992It would be better just to replace the door completely. Given it's a 2010 and silver you could get it a salvage yard for a decent price.
>>27661987>180k miles>salvage title>$5500>making payments on itAnon are you ok?
My Dad got my Mom and my sister cars from Copart and fixed them up. If you know what you're doing, you can save yourself money. But don't expect to sell or trade the car later on. The job will be good enough, but not like it came out of the factory. Personally, I would avoid Copart. Even though you save money in the beginning, it will hurt you in the long run as you can't get rid of your car for shit.
I think my crankshaft sensor is going bad. The check engine light comes on about once every two weeks, and then it goes off after a few days. How long can I drive like this before getting it fixed?
>>27664394Do you have a reader that could tell you the code for what the light is for?
>>27664483Yeah, I did that. Code is P0339
not my problem
>>27664394check the wiring from the ECU to the CPS. Does it look frayed/burned? Is it laying directly on the exhaust headers COUGHCOUGHCHEVYCOUGH? Is the connector loose or full of engine bay shit?If the wiring is bad, fix it. If the CPS is bad, replace it.>>27664677distributors are only more reliable than EFI in d*mestic shitboxes>points wear out in your path
>>27664686The wiring is underneath the car and I haven't lifted it to look yet. Will probably have to take some cover off to see it. I'm probably going to take it to a repair shop and let them look at it. It's not a Chevy
What’s the best sports car on the market right now?
>>27664488> Or you could just buy a turnkey kit car that's ready to go...Check the prices. Might as well buy a Supra at that point. And you get a window defogger and airbags with that.Anyway, if its your passion and you have a couple of years to spare, go for it. Especially if you are in your early 20s.

Do you think this is what's going to push Musk to retire? It won't work.
>>27664555Musk is too absolutely fucking delusional to retire. He believes his own hype. The only way he "retires" is if all of his businesses crash and burn and no one gives him another cent of VC funding.
