Anyone order thru UpGarage before? Wanting to swap wheels and there are lots of cool options for a good price surface shipped to Canada. Are the distortion/crack/wheel unbalance declarations reliable?
actually found photos of them in their packaging from back in the day.
after unboxing (threw out the tires, because buyee wouldn't do it for me to save on shipping costs)
Maybe I should visit one since I live in Japan. Anything above 2 star rating seems serviceable. Hell I found a pretty good hood on there with what you’d expect from regular use and they rated it a 1.
>>28804413Sucks you had to pay extra for shipping but having (the component iI want) wrapped in massive amounts of rubber during global shipping isnt such a bad tradeoff.
>>28803872The price difference for the same wheels is pretty crazy, like $1000+.>>28803965I'll be getting wheels only, shipping is ~$350cad to me.>>28804407Sweet, good to know. I definitely don't want brand new as they will get scratched up by me eventually anyway. Also a lot of the wheels I'd be interested in are long discontinued anyway. Trying to go for period-correct on my 2006 Subaru.>>28804411>>28804413Oh nice this is good to see, thanks anon! Upgarage charges a 35¥ fee to remove tires.>>28804483Ya I wish I had done this when I lived in Suzuka. Oh well

Money buys you a used old hag AHAHAHA, what a faggot cuck loser.
Why don't billionaires just start their own car companies to make cars exactly how they want them to be? Imagine you had a billion dollars to waste. Wouldn't you want to invest in your dream car that doesn't exist, like a V16 Shelby Cobra?
>>28803718>yeah I want a car with a 37L V24 but also it's completely silent inside and it looks like the Eiffel Tower but after it fell down
>>28803677It costs more than a billion to start up a legit car company with the ability to produce an actual notable amount of cars.For example, among many other investments, Toyota is planning on building a $13.9 billion battery plant in North Carolina. That's just one plant. Just for batteries.
>>28803677Basically this is the story of the ineos grenadier.I dont think billionaires want to just blow a billion, they typically want some kind of return. You dont get that rich by being wasteful.
>>28803683I think if you are a car enthusiast and have the money to start a car company you would already be as legit as any other car manufacturer. Youd probably gain popularity immediately if you want what a majority of other car enthusiasts want.

You do clean your fuel tank annually, right?
>>28803837Captain Falcon?
>>28803837Big blue?
>>28803837This is what the fuel tank on my 1992 Camaro looked like when I opened it up. My dad always said to avoid cheap gas stations.
Isn't fuel a solvent? What are you expecting to find in your tank? I guess shitty american fuel with high ethanol content means there'll be plenty of water in there to corrode things
>just buy my liquid goy
Tokyo after dark. Epic nighttime street drifting convoy.
>>28802865please tell me you have a link with sound
>>28804200Wait, I know that skidding Kamaz, the orange truck. He got pulled over by the traffic police only for the cops to hop on board and telling him to burn rubber.
>>28804204wait nvm i found it lolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VMQQZG1y_w>>28804211wait what? that sounds way too good to be true

>>28804218thank you for sharing such kino clips
Everyone says that early 2000s Toyotas last forever, but what's really the mileage at which you would never buy one?
>>28799626>what's really the mileage at which you would never buy one?Probably around 200k. At that mileage, a Toyota owner will commit to the 400k-500k mile range or they'll dump it because it's got a repair that outvalues the car and they don't want to pay for it.There's no repair that's truly expensive on a Toyota, just really tedious, and labor costs can easily spiral out of control for the really annoying work.
>>28802927>It’s crazy to think that instead of fixing something that will last another 100k miles or 20 years, people would rather pay $600+ a month for five years for the same appliance like driving experience.The going rate to hire a mechanic is insane these days. I hired one out to replace transaxle seals and CV axles since I had other things going on that weekend. May as well opt for an oil and ATF change, and new front brakes if the car is there for the day. Given that's the only major service I've ever had to do in the past 16 years, I'd say the car performed well, but I digress.$1500 out of the $2000 bill was labor. I can see where people could become very distressed by such a cost, because they'll worry that an old car will slap them with a $2000 emergency randomly and frequently.Depending on what they buy, the car could easily do just that. If it's some Japanese brand, it's occasional, although the newer Toyotas seem to be having some very serious faults in engineering, no matter how much they point the finger at manufacturing. If it's the sorostitute TikTok special like a Jeep or a German or British "luxury" car, four/five-figure invoices will mercilessly pummel their already indebted finances like a battered spouse.
>>28799626if it "ONLY" has 5,000 miles despite having existed for at least 20 years
>>28803672dood that's like a brand new car those cracked original bridgestone tires are mint
>>28804009NO TIRE KICKERS BECAUSE THEY'RE BRITTLE
>LS7 7L NA V8: handbuilt, titanium components, tight service intervals, unreliable.... 505hp>Hemi 392: mass produced, budget components, regular service intervals, reliable to 125k+.... 485hpWhy was SRT so much better than any equivalent performance division (M, AMG, Shelby, etc)?
>>28800995I remember Modern Red Hemi made an 800hp Procharged 5.7L Challenger that only coughed glitter because he didn't get a good oil pump
huh, if you squint a bit the charger looks like an alfa
>>28802321>>28803740None of this stuff ever affected Hellcat engines.They already started with metal chain guides, improved oil pump, strict oil selection (only two certified models), improved oil filtering and many more improvements.Only known issue with Hellcat engine-IHI-built 2.3L supercharger main bearing: premature failure. Affected MY 2015 (first year) and mid-2017. Easy fix and one can take the opportunity to upgrade to a Red Eye SC.
>>28799362>Why was SRT so much better than any equivalent performance division (M, AMG, Shelby, etc)?the ford mustang and vetto walk it thoeven tho that non turbo v8 vette is garb engine build quality at least its cheap
>>28801521i enjoying bullying v6 as much as the next man, but 1.6% is fairly high considering most of the cars were seldomly driven hard.
Why are Japanese cars generally so much more reliable than european cars? I've had Audi's, BMWs, Mercedes, Renaults and Opels, but nothing just gets on with the job of being a car better than a cheap japanese run about. They just work, where the european cars don't
>>28802740>Want to check oil level before starting car >there is no dipstick >oil level check on dash only works when oil is warmed up
>>28802751If there's a need to refill, the car would've told you when you drove previously. Checking when cold is also a mixed bag since condensation can build up and the oil is contracted, so you can end up with a false reading. Always check oil when it's warmed up (not hot or straight after the drive, when it's had enough time to drain back down).
>>28795935>rigorous 2 year manual maintenance check>japanese people are just generally more detail oriented>having any scratches or large blemishes on your car is shameful and also a show of lesser status>they desire newer cars; used cars rarely sell when the miles exceed 75000 milesbased
>>28802763>having any scratches or large blemishes on your car is shameful Bullshit, those niggers curb their TE-37s with a smile on their face
>>28795935Japanese man is the only one that gives a fuck about anything anymore. You're literally dumb as fuck if you buy any other countries labour/goods. Might as well flush it down the toilet.
Oh yeah? You think gookmobiles are ugly? We've got your ugly RIGHT HERE bub!
>>28799976Heaps of those rolling around here in both wagon and van format. Can't say I'm a huge fan of these types of vehicles, but I'm okay with them. Modern but not gaudy.
>>28802644ur lucky ur people know such comfort
>>28801154got a pretty cool anime out of it to be fairhttps://www.nissan.co.jp/ENTERTAINMENT/LAG-RIN/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW2vupImq4I
>>28801193Here's your car.
>>28803818apparently the fuel economy is horrendous despite it being a 4 cylinder and it can't even get 300 mi to a tank of gas on the highway
If they put v6 engines with locking rear diffs in these it would be the best jack of all trades car of all time
>>28802805I wish new Patrols were still cool
>>28802826apparently the new one is just as disappointing as the old onesad!
kia!
>>28802858Is it even possible to build a disappointing Jeep these days? Expectations are already so low.
>>28803791yes, apparently the old engine was crap, and they made a whole new engine, and the new one is slow and crap too, I wish I could find the exact review I read this in, but they were clearly not too pleased with the overall effort of the new Cherokee
>trades a Porsche GT3 for a Hyundai Elantra because “both cars feel exactly the same.”

>>28801471Makes sense given the name of his kids Musashi and Akira or whatever. The fact he tries to hide them to hide his age the same way Joey does is hilarious. They’re both pieces of shit, had a great time working with Chuck & Erick though.
>>28801471I mean isn't he a cringe comedian? Everything he does is cringe on purpose.
>counter steered as soon as oversteer>didn't slam brakes and kept on throttle (i think can't really tell)Yet he continued to oversteer and crash. So what actually happened? Sound >https://www.youtube.com/shorts/H_7C0-RqsNQ
>>28802841Parking lots aren't open like that in my cunt
>>28802797Your car is basically stationary but your rear wheels are going at highway speed.
>>28802793He was already sideways before he started to countersteer. Dude how ni.clue what his front end was doing.
>>28802784I talked about this before, but that's just what modern mustangs do. Once the rear end starts to slide it just seems to keep going regardless of inputs. I don't know why this is because the older generation with the stick axle didn't do that.The modern Camaros and challengers don't do it either.
He was probably watching the curb the entire time, target fixation is real
