why did highwaymen disappear with the advent of the motorcar? highway robbery has never been easier>get a fast but discreet looking car and a gun>camp in the middle of nowhere with no plates>wait for some expensive car to drive by, catch it and pop the tires>take all the richfags posessions and scatsounds like easy money to me. and if you stop a semi carrying some expensive shit you could steal enough to not work for the rest of your life. so, why havent (You) become a modern day highwayman?
>>28780508It was, but then highway patrols became a thing. In the end highwaymen lost to attrition. I remember watching a video on forgotten weapons showing a sawed off shotgun from the 20's that was sold as highwayman protection gun.
>>28780508>stop a semi carrying some expensive shitThis still does happen but they're usually called road pirates.
>>28780955>blast the shit out of his windshield with my glizzyWhat if the hot dog just bounces off the windshield?
>>28780508It used to be that roads far away from towns were completely lawless, no real way for an authority to respond. Now they'll be there within minutes, and forensics makes catching criminals more easy.
They still exist, they're called Roadmen. Car jackings never went away.

Title.I have come across a lot of retards who think that fwd is faster even though it isn'tSince all of the weight on the car in fwd falls on the front wheels and has to drag the body while in an RWD the rear wheels have to push the weights in which the weight of the car doesn't drop on the rear wheels. not only that but a lot of super and sports cars are rwd even F1 cars are rwdHell I even we even watched this video togetherhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8Ck_zXa19Ain which he watched only the first 2 rounds and not the whole thing and said fwd wins because the audi was slightly ahead of the BMW in the first 2 rounds and ignored the rest of the video and the facts surrounding it.I mean I'm not gonna argue with this person anymore.But really how do you guys deal with such retards.Yes I realize this borders on advice but this is more like a science thing to me and not only that it's ticks me off when they call themselves a car guy.
>>28781496Not before also demonstrating what BJ stands for.
They are correct. In of itself, the vehicle being rear drive doesn’t make it faster
>>28782592It's the chassis code for a first gen flat roof Legacy wagon, duh.
>>28780808> Lotus Engineering had just spent the past 5 years tuning and refining chassis systems for a variety of other manufacturers. They had the opportunity to be involved in many projects that allowed them to study a wide variety of platforms, and many lessons were learned. Chassis rigidity was of paramount importance, ... Perhaps most surprising was the realization of the performance potential in front wheel drive. The ride and handling engineers found that for a given vehicle weight, power and tire size, a front wheel drive car was always faster over a given section of road.https://www.gglotus.org/ggtech/m100-lcu-manual/m100lcu.htm> At the time, Toyota made both RWD and FWD Corollas of the same weight, same power, and with the same tyres. Wet or dry, circuit or Alpine climb, the FWD car was faster everywhere, and with any driver – and by a big margin, especially in wintery conditions.https://www.vehicledynamicsinternational.com/john-miles-archive/lotus-elan-m100-the-dynamics-challenges.html
>>28782637You need to send these findings to every manufacturer NOWAnd let all the race orgs know too.Especially guys that run top fuelers, if they made the wheels that lift on the ground the drive wheels they'd have faster cars
should i pressure wash my engine bay?

2013 Nissan murano about 210k miles.I drove down to my parents (about 3 hours) last night just to stay for Christmas morning then head home. Today I stopped to get gas at the local 7-11 before heading back up, but 2 minutes after leaving my engine starts chugging (or knocking, idk the best sound to describe it) so I pull over. I did my own oil change a few days ago so I wait 10 minutes for the oil to settle then check the dipstick, seems like the oil is fine. I head back to my parents cause I only made it a few minutes away, the check engine is flashing yellow, and the car doesn't want to accelerate past around 35mph and continues chugging. I had a similar issue a year ago and I paid a mechanic around 2k for a new radiator and spark plugs and to test it all and it ran fine after that until now. When I got back to my parents I realized the coolant reservoir was empty so I filled it back up and ran it again. There was still knocking but at least the check engine light is now solid yellow instead of flashing. My dad said he has an engine diagnostic tool and it came back for misfire 4. I'm retarded and don't know if that's the specific cylinder that's misfiring or if that's the code for what type of misfire it is. Nothing around here was open today so I'm going to call around tomorrow morning and ask for some quotes about how much it would be to fix. I managed to save up around 3k in my bank account. Used cars are very expensive around Portland oregon. Also both my gf and myself don't want to wait if it's going to take multiple days to get home, we didn't pack much. Is there any hopeium for things going easy tomorrow or am I "cooked."
>>28781233>Into trash go PennWhat did he mean by this
>>28781637Your dad's code reader might be able to clear codes. If not, if the problem is truly gone, it'll clear itself within a few days of regular use.Good diagnostic work. You might want to check your fluids more regularly if the coolant overflow was empty, especially at that kind of mileage. And good luck out there, OP. Maybe start saving a little more towards the next set of wheels.
Final update: Got to in-n-out without any problems so we ate and went home (without incident). Thanks for all the advice anons to help a retard like me save Christmas. And yeah I'll check other fluids besides the oil from now on lol. Happy holidays
>>28782031Congratulations.

>>28782730>I'm sure he totally wont get a fuckton of awful habits being used to his nannyshite and immediately eat a wall once he gets on a real man's bike with zero assistsI'm also fairly sure of that because a) he can get a feel for the bike instead of killing himself on a "real man's bike with zero assists" aka boomer tier dog shit that nobody wants to buy anyway andb) he already has a bike with good features, so why would he want a shit one without any features?Did you also remove the power steering, wipers, mirrors and high beams from your car?

>>28782749Retarded niggers (like you) who instantly jump on something fast with a fuckton of assists, without fail, ride like absolute dogshit. You dont learn to control a bike or feel what it's doing as it's constantly saving your ass from your abhorrent "skill".ABS is about the only thing I'd recommend to a learner rider as it'll save you in conditions out of your control, but everything else you should learn to account for like someone with a useable brain.>he thinks old bad new good because new has a bunch of shiny gizmosYeah, you're cementing yourself as the retard here.

>>28779579Die, 3000GT schizo.
>>28782028Come kill me yourself coward>>28782021>parts availabilityCompletely depends on what, regardless there's been plenty of parts to do literally anything on the car. You have undertaken the more challenging car.
>>28779579>yes but only if you're a champion who won't quit.Sums it up, there are other cars that aren't as demanding for similar outputs. They just require lots of maintenance and lots of proactive maintenance at that.
>>28782004>In its prime it was a maintenance pigI'd respectfully disagree, they do in terms of oil changes with higher engine temps but the rest of it is pretty simple 60k mile/100k servicing on belts, pumps and the spare parts are still Mitsubishi prices so its not completely outrageous for most of them. If you're in the US where about 90% of the production ended up as Dodges, there's plenty of places that have off the shelf parts for them and the specialist stores for anything more esoteric, 2nd hand or modifications are still pretty reasonable prices.I'm old as dirt and pretty familiar with a lot of 90's garbage- a lot of the BMW's and Mercs spares and upkeep are absolutely fucking insane, true suffering is a Jaguar or Range Rover from that era because they were (and still are) assembled by people who didn't give a fuck. French 90's is also about 80% complete trash and should be melted down into something useful like a boat anchor. Even some of the hero-car stuff from Nissan and Toyota from the 90's were not exactly pinnacles of production, all my 90's Nissan's had popped caps in their ECU's, the Toyota's had paint that peeled like a bad sunburn and Mazda gave the euro's a run for their money in the overpriced spares department.If US cars followed the same trend as Ford and Holden from the 90's, they were built cheap out of recycled coke bottle interiors, their electrics were fucked up for free from the factory, engines assembled by the drunkest Mexican quality control that pissed oil, endless coil pack deaths, rusted like bare metal and assembled by unmotivated cretins on most days ending in Y.Realistically though, 30 year old cars just are what they are now. Some got looked after, others had 14 suicidal owners, a lot got neglected and more than a few got binned into gutters or found a ditch.

how hard is it to learn a motorbike if i can already drive a manual car. 125-250cc or something
>>28782035If you know how to ride a bicycle and a manual car. Literally 5 minutes.
>>28782035It's very easy to get started, I'd say much easier than a car. But harder to master.Get professional instruction.
If you can ride a bicycle Then you can pretty much hope on low cc automatic bike and goActually going fast and not dying is another matter entirely You will soon realized that going too fast, sudden braking can get you hurt faster than you would in a car dusty road can get you killed if you are not used and be mindful of it
>>28782035Tbqhfam there is a learner bike thread thats perfect for you. The trick is to turn left if younwant to go right, and right if you want to go left
What happened to Korean design? This shit looks like it's angry at existing
>>28782118
>>28782145Yeah that front end is a mess.
>>28781316>What happened to Korean design?they never had design to begin with. Its only recently they started making these new age machines and marketing them with finance schemes to the financially struggling. They are gutless cars that are meant to emulate wealthy exterior looks. Its trying its best to be an Audi/VW.
>>28782171They are the new VW. Kia does everything better and cheaper than VW these days. No point buying expensive German cars in 2025 unless it's BMW.

Why do people keep buying Tundras despite all the recalls (pic related)?
Having driven modern Toyotas as rental cars (Tacoma, Corolla, Rav4) all three feel like exactly the same vehicle with varying levels of lift kit, with uncomfortable interiors, and shit driving feel. Was Toyota always just a meme?
>>28775645*teleports GM lifters behind you*>nothing personal kid
>>28782150Yeah pretty much. Corollas were always miserable but reliable econoboxes. Camrys were always slightly larger but miserable and reliable econoboxes. Tacoma's were always miserable to drive but reliable. Tundra's were miserable to drive but reliable. Now things are still miserable but you don't get the reliability anymore.
>>28782150Ivthink their hybrid driveline is truly the most soulless abomination ever conceived.
Goyota is loved by the low iq and browns. People actually have the impression that they never break, that you can put poo instead of oil in the engine and that parts are free.
Do these work? I need to add a gauge for oil pressure and temperature to my S197 and was looking for a simple mod. Do these hurt oil flow/pressure significantly?
>>28779700>and I did NOT like what I foundAnd what did you find, retard? The don't cause any problems. And how do you think oil filter relocations work?Plus maybe OP wants to keep the functionality of the OEM pressure sensor, using the sandwich plate specifically for pressure/temp for additional gauges.
>>28779700>>28780688>>28779648ECU will throw a light and no, there is no easy way to disable that or bypass it. Even Foreskin can't do much.
