>a car made for THE FEELING>auto onlyI don't get it. It's like making a very good beer but only sell it as non alcoholic
>>28802386manual transmissions are cool, but i really don't care. a modern automatic or semi automatic transmission makes the car faster. a manual transmission car is great for feeling like you're going fast, like taking your miata onto a twisty road and basedfacing over how exciting it is.

>>28805622I have a Torsen in my Mx-5 which is similar to a Quaife. It's great. What's your problem with them?
>>28805629There isn't a single real race team that uses those types of diffs, they have no no ability to lock under deceleration.

red: you can, for the rest of your life, have any cars you want, for free, and drive them, and your repairs are all paid for for life, BUT, there is now a 55 mph speed limit everywhere, and it is strictly enforced by drones, and the speed limit can never change nor be less enforcedgreen: there is no more speed limit, and you have a lifetime supply of Kia cars and SUVs (including Genesis luxury models), but that is ALL you can drive.
>>28805452Oh and I pick red btw, if that wasn't obvious.
>>28799434All of my cars are slow as shit anyways. Maybe I could sell some of the cars to pay off the speeding tickets if I ever decided to get reckless. Also could take my cars to the track or get a bike
Red, 55mph isn't the end of the world and I can still take any car I want to the track.
>>28805450Id go red thenId have a bunch of small blocks powered cars and just cruise around idling obnoxiously and doing burnouts
croozing is PEAK. easiest red of my life
Carrera GT is a famous widowmaker but in 2004 it was the fastest car on the Nurburgring for a short time. 2010 Viper ACR was 4th fastest after Radicals and Gumpert Apollo.
>>28803571This car is so mighty, yet so ugly. Like a woman who's ugly but somehow tempting, so you end up in bed with her, where she suddenly overpowers you, ties you up and spanks you to death.
>>28803365Tires help but it’s really the onboard computer doing the throttle and braking. Modern 911 has the ECU/TCU traction control and stability control and PTM if you have it all working while you drive. Which is to say if you push the gas you’re not actually controlling the throttle. You are informing the computer what you want the throttle to do and it controls the car for you so you don’t kill yourself.
>>28803569It didn't blow out, they were just old as fuck and couldn't get grip? Why do you make up fake scenarios and get mad at them?
>>28802989Whoa it's like race cars should be driven by race car drivers or something.
>>28802989>[Snap oversteer intensifies]SW20, pre-lift model specifically That said it's a skill issue thus a shit load of people got caught off guard when they switched to a MR or RR car even when it was a low powered shitbox like the beetle, the fiat 500 or bambino
Can we finally ban EU vs US wars on this board? If you really need to argue about who's more retarded, just go to /pol/. Instead let's appreciate a car that Bongs and Mutts made together.
I will never call it a bonnet
>>28804913>ban Americans from an American centric website so Europeans can migrate to wherever Americans go because they have no media or culture of their ownAnd then nothing changes.
You only want this now becuase the corvette tm outperforms every european street legal production car (while costing less)
>>28805094>drive a wedge between long time allies who are ideologically opposed to certain nationsGood point.

New Dacia EV incoming, based on the new Renault Twingo EV. Probably one of the cheapest EVs in Europe? They are targeting a price below €18k, before incentives. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/dacia-spring-remain-sale-alongside-twingo-based-city-ev
>>28804799I've checked online and a used Model 3 is like €7k more expensive than a new Dacia Spring in my country.
>>28804872Is that because the Dacia is eligible for incentives? Model 3s go for fairly cheap. Between 20-30k € depending on model year.
>>28804882No idea about incentives, the gap is probably bigger there. The Dacia starts at €17,9k and the cheapest used Model 3 I could find are about €25k with 50-70k km on them.
>>28804799>Buying new cheap EV makes literally no sense>I think the low end EV market is a dead endyes, but you're wrong as to the causesif you're poor, you probably rent in an apartmentwhich means you can't charge at homewhich means EVs are inconvenient and don't really save you any money (well, on fuel at least. still cheaper maintainance)>The profit margins are too smallyes, that too, but imo its mostly the above>people interested in EV want to feel like they're driving a luxury productnah. nobody really considers an old model 3 a "luxury car". not that its not nice or anything, esp if you retrofit the shocks from the new one>just get a Model 3 and you get a used but infinitely superior carabsolutely, but see above, poor people can't into EVs for other reasonsComment too long.

>>28804889>the cheapest used Model 3 I could find are about €25kthat doesn't sound rightmost places in europe, you can get decent (2021+, with heat pump and double pane glass) model 3s from 20k or so. at 25k, you're looking at even newer LRsand pre-2021 models can be found sub 20k, tho i would only consider those if your alternatives are also without heat pump, or have so little range that even in the winter the m3 is better. >with 50-70k km on themkeep in mind that mileage is fairly irrelevant in EVs. calendar date is more importantbut really, the correct way to evaluate is to figure out exactly what pack was in there (based on model year, country of manufacture, and total size), which will tell you what to expect for longevity. also the results of a battery health test, if available. eg for the above mentioned 2021+ model 3s, the best longevity packs are the LFPs that they were putting in the standard range plus models from shanghai. you can tell them apart by checking that it has black trim around the windows (that means its post 2021 refresh) and that the interior wood trim thing on the dash extends itself in the door cards (means shanghai). and ofc that its standard range plus, not LR awd.
What cars have engines that can be rebuilt in an apartment with flights of stairs? Meaning what cars have an engine (or atleast the longblock) that a ~20 yr old male can carry up a set of stairs. Carbed or fi is fine.
>>28803703Any sub 3.0L inline 4, any motorcycle engine, you could also consider a van that has a dog house so you can work inside of the van to service it.
I worked for a package service a long time ago and saw V8 Rover (Buick 216) engines come through. No fluids no ancilliaries but they were handled just like a normal oversize parcel.

>>28802631Nah I can dig it. If I had the pick it would probably be one of the boxier 80s X Falcons but I wouldn't say no to an XH. Used to be one around where I live but I think the rust got too bad or something because I haven't seen it out in a while. That or maybe he moved or sold it idfk.
Going back to work at a Ford place ironically also getting my car back on the road next week should be fun
>>28803309>If I had the pick it would probably be one of the boxier 80s X Falcons but I wouldn't say no to an XHI agree. V8's are peak but XH will be nice.

Are pre-purchase inspections a meme? How would getting one even work logistically for a desirable car that will be off the market in a week or two?
how to ppi>use your eyes
>>28805358>Are pre-purchase inspections a meme?Seems like it. It's not like they're going to pull all the spark plugs and scope all the cylinders or do a compression test or pull the tranny pan to check the magnet for metal debris. The rest of the inspection is just checking for leaks, excessive rust or excessive play in components which you can check yourself.
>>28805444i pp in ur i lol!
just yolo it and buy without inspecting
>>28805470Oh, Dale got a new Vette? Good for him!
why do they lie about this not working when it does?
>>28799729The traffic lights have sensors.These sensors are frequently older and buggier than anyone will admit (they dont collect data on how well it works lol)For cameras, flashing your lights may workFor underground ones, you need to move the carIt absolutely *works. They are lying saying it doesnt. Fucking shithole country.*'can' work. Itll change what the sensor sees; how the sensor responds depends on its programming.>>28799837Above ground (cameras) are gaining popularity.>>28799843I move the car, not flash lights.Comment too long.

>>28803302>>28803302100%. I find that the camera ones are most effective. It works 70% of the time. Those odds are too high to be coincidence.

>>28805341I still see shit powered by the Chrysler 2.8 LH on a daily basis tbqhbmw nigger is right though most people get rid of gm shit long before real mechanical trouble because the interiors are so bad, not just to look at but in build quality too. Also there is the "GM smell" which is the counterpoint to the smell of fresh dollar bills and instantly reminds all Americans of trailer parks and food stamps.

How hard are they to live with. Am I regarded? They look so damn elegant. I have some experience with a W124 but it was EFI not K-Jet or D-Jet. Looking at the V8s as we got no diesels in my country.
>>28805074>too bigIt's really small, bud.
>>28805231uggh what a piece of shit
>>28804287I wish them the best but I will not be buying one personally
>>28804291except americans don't want it to be an EV
>>28804287It's DOA>Without the 7500 tax credit it's now incredibly expensiveNot that it matters, anyone that can benefit from a 7500 tax credit isn't buying this. Maybe fleet sales, but the lack of a resale value is going to kill the fleet aspect. This is a 15-20k truck at best and last I looked it lacked basic economy shitbox amenities that have been standard for the last two decades. Cool concept but it's overpriced.
Thoughts on this car?

>>28805347The FK8 is hideous, would genuinely be embarrassed to step out of that vehicle in a parking lot
>>28805406put a kia badge on an FL5 and no one would know any different.
