Has there ever been a vehicle like this?essentially a 3/4ths car. something that reduces the passenger side by half and uses it more for storage rather than a person sized space.Still having the back passenger seat if you need it, but you could also collapse it for even more storage room. Keeping the stable dimensions of a normal car, but smaller, while compensating its absolute smaller size with larger interior space on one side for the driver and passenger.
>>27607115damn, thats exactly it! Stupid japs having all the interesting stuff.
>>27607283is it?A LOT-o-LOT of stuff, sure, but carring some boxes around, or camping equpitment, or something.
>>27607503Wait, do you become not an incel if you drive a car? wouldnt that make incels want cars since what makes them incels is that its involuntary?What are you doing the marketing for me?
>>27606960Small car with no front passenger seat? Hans Reiser's CRX
>>27606960If you have 60/40 rear seats that fold down the 60 on the passenger side you can just pull the front passenger seat and you are golden. With cars with 50/50 fold seats the same but you are just less golden.
not sure if based or cringe
>>27609853cringe. but in a way that plays into a stereotype so much I cannot be sure if they're trolling or not
>>27609853absolutely based now i want one for mine
>>27609905It is better when you are going slower than the bumper to bumper traffic. It lets you roll nearly unimpeded and makes RAMfags behind you seethe because they can't fill the big gap you have for yourself.

I miss LPG and his tales of idiots taking out loans with insane interest rates
>>27609637Probably not give you as good a deal. You go in never paying sticker price, work them down as low as you can go because they think they're still going to make a little bit extra by steering you to their finance company. Then you hit em at the last minute with a briefcase full of money after they've agreed to a lower price.>>27608846That's when the salesman is found stuffed in the truck of their demo car with his throat slit.
>>27609815Thanks anon. I'm still confused about one thing, though:>>27608846>That's when the salesman shits in your gas tank.>>27609815>Then you hit em at the last minute with a briefcase full of money after they've agreed to a lower price.>>27609815>That's when the salesman is found stuffed in the truck of their demo car with his throat slit.Trying to piece together what happened, and imagine the news headline O_o
>>27606269If OP was smart xir would get the best price by financing then pay off the loan next day. Dealer never knows it and that's that.Be devious, be smart, save money.
>>27609852I got a great deal on a 2023 4Runner with low mileage and zero rust. Salesman tries to play hardball but I tell him I'm in the market for a compact car for my daughter (I don't have any kids) and that we can talk about maybe a Camry or something safe after this deal is wrapped up. Also tell him I've got an older Tundra that's a bit long in the tooth and I'm thinking of trading it in or selling it to buy a new Tundra, I need it to tow my RV (I have no RV, in fact I don't even have a Tundra). He gives me a great deal just a bit below normal market price (which is the best you can expect). We go to his office and he assumes I need to finance, being a family man with multiple vehicles (again, all lies). I tell him I'll be paying in full today, in cash. His face drops - he's just given me a car with a razor thin margin and now he doesn't get a kickback from Moishe & Shekelstein Financiers LLC either.He has no choice; the law is clear, we have a verbal contract and then a written one some tense 20 minutes later. I go to pick up my vehicle a few days later, as they're detailing it for me. I start the engine and it sounds great - the roar of the 1GR-FE rattles the windows of the dealership. As I drive home I notice an odd sulfur smell. I get home and feed my fibrescope into the filler neck for the gas tank and see a BIG LOG floating in the tank; somehow the salesman has shat in my car's gas tank. The rest is quite simple: I drive to the dealership early the next morning and wait for him to show up and unlock the place. I ambush him and force him inside at knife point. I make him get in the trunk of a Camry, then stab him in the neck like in Goodfellas. Close the trunk lid, flush the keys in the toilet, and wait for the fun to unfold. It's a few days before the smell is noticed and they open the trunk with a pry bar to find Xiang Quandiu dead in the Camry. Meanwhile my 4Runner works flawlessly because the 1GR-FE is invincible, as everyone knows.
What's a practical yet fun car?

Ordered a super miata shift knob but it doesn’t have the laser etched SUPER MIATA logo.One third of the ND oem shift knob weight, makes shifting feel more mechanical and effortless, but shape will take some getting used to.Post your shifters bros.Other non suv Mazda owners welcome
>>27608604buy whatever cheapo NC has a blown engine with a crankshaft viewing window and do the mazda6 2.5 block swap
I'm about to pick up an new old stock 23 nd2, I'm super excited but I'm curious if there is anything that I can put in that helps make the car a little bit safer in an accident with a larger car without getting a cage welded in. I found some info regarding improving the frame bracing and a better roll bar.>Inb4 "hurr durr you got a Miata, you chose this" I know but I figure some of this stuff also improves performance too *<:^).
this is why I got the ND2 now and wrote off the ND3
interestingly miatas have some of the best insurance ratings
>>27609865in my area there's lots of older middle aged guys and retirees who have NCs and NDs
My bumper cracked today just turning into a parking spot, stock wheels, height and suspension. How do I cope with this? how the hell did this even happen? I'm using prestik to hold it in place now :(
The prestik probably won't hold after a few heat cycles. Is it retarded to make use of flex seal, the silicon kind, to keep it together?
>>27608729i raised my car up on offroad springs shocks front rear gonna put knobblies on and spacers next for wheels and struts fuck the lowering jews
>>27608742Look up proper bonding methods for that particular plastic instead of guessing. Why wouldyou not use the internet to find out the best way to perform a repair?Plastic welding is cheap BTW.
>>27608901I want to buy a truck for this exact reason I'm tired of scraping and always misjudging heights on the curbs and trashing my shit
americans call this a tractor
Americans, why do you call this a semi truck? In what way is it half a truck?Why not call it like glorious German: LKW (Lastktaftwagen)
>>27608333There are laws that are meant to be limit how many hours you drive in a day and how many hours you drive in a week but from what I hear from my trucker friends they regularly find ways to make you work past those hours.
>>27606596It's just a tractor with a boom and blade on it.
>>27604900language is so fascinating
>>27605298Nope, tractors are like farm dudes, it's a semi or a tractor trailerIf I told someone I drove tractors, they'd think farmer>>27605915Worse, PAM

Pretty big update I think you guys will like. I optimized the way the track model is generated quite a bit and it's fast enough now that it loads basically instantly so I added a live editing widget. It's pretty simple, no fancy edit modes or anything but it is much more useful for actually, ya know, editing and creating tracks. Signs are still fucked up idk what I am doing with them yet.
>>27606138Looks really cool. What's it called?

why doesnt /o/ trust Chinese cars? chinese people are just as smart as japanese, and smarter than europeans and americans
>>27609002>chinese people are just as smart as japanese, and smarter than europeans and americansAnything is possible , when you lie
>>27609002I spent some time in china last year and its actually embarrassing how bad chinese society is when it's filled with such smart people trying so hard at everythinglike they are literally working themselves to death and basically at or below mexico levels, who aren't even fucking trying at allcrazy how retarded a system communism is. places like south korea or taiwan started off worse than china and now are actually 1st world countries because they never got held back the same way with retarded communist policies
>>27609149Cope
>>27609002>chinese people are just as smart as japaneseThat hasn't been my experience at all. Japs annihilate Chinks in intellect past base.
even the chinks that dont cheat are just rote memorisation receptacles, theres no creativity, no soul.
Seriously, why are they so popular in EU and the US? In my country no one drives them. I barely even see them.
>>27609387Your bait is too damn obvious.
>>27609403All the more reason to reduce domestic consumption. But I guess I can't expect Russians to understand Capitalism.
>>27609430you had to have known how stupid this was while you were typing it yet you hit post anyway
>>27609455You think the Nordic countries got rich burning their own stuff? What did Russia think was going to happen burning their own supply and pissing the West off?The Saudis may be assholes but they're trying to get everyone to like them.

Let me guess…you need more?
I haven't checked or fill oil for a year. I decided to look at it because the engine seems a bit noisy.I can't see the level. I used to see the point where the oil level is at. But when I check it's just oil color without delimitation. I waited 15 min for the engine to rest and clean the stick and it just return thin oil color. Am I running low on oil?
>Oil is yellow>Make dipshit yellow Brilliant work guys
>>27609819Yes, does it smell like fuel?
>>27609819it is possible but very unlikely to be that much or it would have blown up already
>>27609823Not really
>>27609819Your pan is full of sludge.Warm up & drain.
I don't mind the V6. It's fast and sounds nice.
>>27603886the 296 is rwd and isn't as fat
the front end on these has really grown on me, especially in person
>>27609574its better, but also worse. to get around its shortcomings requires adding a bunch of extra parts onto it.
>>27609663i have a wart that's growing on me, specifically on my ass, that looks better than those things.
what kind of person do you have to be to own one of these trucks?
>>27609624>that shirtholy fuckin shit memes are actually less funny than IRL now
>>27609022seems like the guys who shit on normal trucks would be into these
>>27609022Same kind of person who wears the apple vr in public
>>27609143theres tons of things i like that i cant afford, like a house or a chevy express 3500 or grocceries. still dont like the cyphertruck
>>27609751Your passive-aggressive and condescending attitude has got me pretty convinced.I don't even see through your feigned sense of superiority.
My exhaust doesn't have valves and I would like to have a "quiet" mode for morning cold starts. Is there an aftermarket valved exhaust which can make my cold starts quieter than stock when the valves are closed? Or are closed valves equal to stock, and open valves equal to muffler delete?
>>27608970Just needs an onahole inserted into it
>>27608970>It blocks the flow of exhaust forcing it through that mesh and also a smaller exit reducing the noise.At the initial startup would there still be a considerable amount of pressure forcing the exhaust open? I know with these types of exhausts they're engineered to generally open up after a certain RPM, basically, but I'm not sure how that works during startups.
>>27608994Nathaniel is that you? >>27609008I would have to assume that unless your car warms up at 6000 RPM, it would stay closed or mostly closed during a cold start. however since every engine and exhaust setup is so widely different from each other and these are pretty much off the shelf standardized units, you can't really say with certainty what actually will or won't happen on your specific vehicle without literally measuring the exhaust pressure at various RPMs and then selecting the unit with whatever pressure and spring rate you need for the desired effect.
>>27608893it’s always open, but the opening increases in size as you rev the engine more. At WOT it’s basically the same as not having it in there. I think trust makes them.
>>27608429it's called an exhaust cutout - usually they just dump straight out but you could build whatever you want in theory - it's going to be heavy to lug around two exhausts though
