>>28784087>7/8 x .080 roll cageI never said it was a roll cage. Your reading comprehension is that of a 6 year old.Did you believe a "chassis" only used a singular size of tubing for the entire structure? Your welds are garbage and your opinions are worthless- it would be like taking financial advice from a bum living in a dumpster behind McDonalds.Your own work shows a lack of understanding of the fundamentals.You've never had professional training.You've never held certification.You're just an 85 IQ monkey who was shown how to strike an arc.If you cant master stick then the rest of your work is undoubtedly a joke also, regardless of media.If theres ever a thread about turning dumpster trash into yard art for selling at swap meets you can chime in.But until then just stfu, you're severely outclassed and are too stupid to even realize it.
>>28784093It's a bead breaker
>>28784277Lol absolutely malding that something I threw together with scrap steel in less than an hour is 1000x stronger than your best work ever will be. Seethe harder weldlet!
>>28784585What a fucking moron.Your welds are absolute dogshit.You should be embarrassed that there is photographic evidence of your pathetic abilities on the internet. If you did that garbage on a 3G cert test you'd be laughed out of the building.
>>28773762I had a lot of old sticks with bits of rust and the insulation coming off, brought new ones and it was much easier. With some experience you may be able to get some use out of crappy sticks to reduce waste.I'm glad I started with stick because in comparison wire welding is much easier. Even then I had rusty wires which were crap in comparison to new stuff.It doesn't take long, 2 weeks to a month of daily practice for an hour is enough to get pretty good.>>28773811I just use stick for stuff like welding pipes or for BBQ's. It can be good for stuff like engine holders too.>>28783902Thats probably the quickest and gets you to try a few different things. I always put it off until I signed up. After that practice at home to do better quality.
How bad is the automatic tranny in this thing compared to the ZF8HP?
>>28783889the 10R/10L when put in track mode in my mustang is pretty good. GM and Ford benchmarked the ZF8 in their design, which is probably why it’s the most comparable. the base shift map sucks ass though, and in it the torque converter loves to randomly open when on the brake, which sucks. tbd on longevity
>>28784658>more stories?NTA but that piece of shit tranny loves to lug the fuck out of the engine, was driving the company truck and had it on cruise control at 55. Brought it up to 65 and expected it to violently downshift like cruise control usually does but no, it accelerates in 10th gear at like 1000RPM all the way up. Abysmal.
>>28784797You’re not the first person I’ve heard bring up the lugging behavior of the 10R variant transmissions. Beating the hell out of your bottom end all in the name of fuel economy.
>>28783870Why would you buy that with an automatic? It doesn't matter if the automatic transmission is fine. It just goes against the purpose of the spirit of the car. If you want an auto, get something like an Audi or BMW
>>28784793the 10r is in fact a ZF-built gearbox closely related to the ZF8, not merely inspired by it

They don't make 'em like these anymore. Bulletproof engines, seats like you're riding on a sofa.
>>28783604>Bulletproof enginesYeah but the rest of the car is the exact opposite
>gm
>>28783604>They don't make 'em like these anymore.These got made for years after the Le Sabre died.
The Kia K5 GT is the spiritual successor, and its available new, at your local dealer. Instead of hoarding old ass UAW trash, upgrade to the new sensible car for the thinking man.

Rented a TRD tacoma by chance and there is nothing special about it. Drives like a toaster. Toyota Corolla seating position inside with uncomfortable cheap interior. 2 liter turbocharged I4 like every single new car on the road. It’s just another cuck pod. What’s the point?
>>28782836Why do you need it? You don't need it. You need less.

>>28782927ehh we'll see him sooner or later if he's not posting about it on a pokemon thread
>>28782893And also a 3 litre turbodiesel V6 option from Mercedes.I had one and it was a magnificent car, went much lighter on fuel than comparable BMWs or even mercs with the same engine did for some reason and it could fit a shit ton in the massive trunk. Again my only complaint was the interior.
>>28781927fleets like the Pacifica too

>America could have had its own, homegrown kei truck equivalent decades ago.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T4-90qkpgsJust needs a full cab with mirrors and a license plate light and would be street legal.
>>28781858The Toro Workman has existed since the 90s and is way better quality than the JD. team green banks on the brand recognition and not quality. go somewhere where they use equipment like this daily (golf courses, etc) and they're running Toros.
>>28783483I love how rigid it looks
>>28783023No anon.I'm viewing this as a guy who has to work on the stuff you're talking about.I hate the bullshit regs.Domestic UTV's are mostly bullshit. But I am still talking about reality.Until you fucking gut congress and the EPA, you are not getting diesel Keis on U.S. streets.
>>28783483>Toro > JDMy question stands. If Toro produced a street legal Workman that did everything a kei truck did, would you buy it?
>>28782557Its Supra same thing. The only way he gets noticed at all is by namefagging. Imagine even being hated on 4chan

Whats the worst car you’ve ever had?
>>28784312This was a decade ago, it was like a 6k car back then, NA and manual. It was just dogshit to drive, uncomfortable and extremely boring.I fell for the video game hype as a kid, it just wasn't that impressive in real life. >B-but easy 1000hp bro just put a turbo on it broWouldn't have made it any better even if it had 1000hp, it was still dogshit to drive. Also the NA engines are soft as hell and bend rods from doing burnouts or light hooning.
>>28784355Got it for free at work.350kkm on the odo, abused as company car, burning crazy amounts of oil. Thought it'll be just temporary car.Ended up driving it for years all the way up to 500kkm while burning oil like mf, I was buying oil in bulk.Otherwise super reliable, never gave me issues. Drove it to scrapper...
>>28784467FMakes you wonder if any modern cars will be shitbox tier but somewhat reliable DD's in 30 years
>>28782780An '81 Chrysler K. I remember an incident when I was driving south on I 65 into a 25mph headwind, and noticed that my foot was all the way to the floor when going only about 70. In what I drive now, though it weighs twice as much, the engine rests at a tranquil 1700 rpm at 80 in average conditions, and still gets about twice the MPG at that.
>>28784665normies always love to harp on about big v8s chugging fuel forgetting that an engine that has to constantly run near or at full load is going to be thirstier and live a shorter live.
Are there any cars that JUST DON'T fucking break as long as you get oil changes and blah blah blah all that other bullshit? I'm tired of mechanics and their fucking bullshit.
>>28784247You claim EV's don't break yet the EV repair shops have lots of EV's waiting to be fixed. Hmmm.
>>28784256almost all of that is just wheel and brakes
>>28784256wear components you bonehead. It's wear components same as any other car. We're talking drivetrain here and you can't possibly argue that ice is more reliable then a single spinning shaft.
>>28784269>you can't possibly argue that ice is more reliable then a single spinning shaft.The people with EV's who are on their 3rd or 4th motor replacement back up my claims. The best selling EV brand is at the very bottom of the vehicle reliability rankings.
>>28783552>buy a boring and unengaging car that teaches you to not give a shit about driving or how things workI don't give a shit about cars, I fucking hate cars. I have to drive a car because that's the only available mode of transportation where I live outside of walking or riding a bike.
Well, it took an hour and a Youtube video, but I changed my own windshield wipers. This is the first major car repair I've done on my own, so I feel pretty accomplished.
Great, Anon. We all start somewhere. Next time you’ll change your oil and go from there.
>>28784536geez. did you try to replace them without getting them into the service position or something?
This fat idiot decided financing $70k for a 7 year old pickup truck would be a good idea:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0684A5i_BEThe channel that uploaded this is full of similar videos, people walking in after having cashed out their paychecks and leaving with loan terms that span the better part of a decade and $500+ monthly payments.How can these people justify this to themselves? I used to think I was just poor but now I can assume anything nicer than my ancient Corolla is a monument to financial illiteracy.
>>28782941Because he genuinely thinks he got a hell of a good deal and the salesman is a cool G who hooked him up. And the ad is directed at other people like him who see this and all they hear is getting a sick ass whip for $1k down no questions asked so they rush to the dealership to get theirs as well.
I wonder how many of this dude's customers are drug dealers. I mean, he's handing out these loans with $800 monthly payments like candy to people who don't even have proof of income.
>>28782613vehicles like this prove that society has forgotten the value of higher aspirations such as beauty and regressed to nothing more than apes collecting shiny objects no matter how garish to have the chance of wetting their phalluses
>>28782553“People” really do stuff like this then complain that they’ll never be able to afford a house.
I thought the finance company required full covering insurance? Imagine what that costs.
WTF is this bit? i thought it was mortorq or something like that but it doesn’t appear to be, its a 4 sided external bit that resembles a phillips kindasorta but it’s not mortorq and it’s def not torx/e-torx or JIS or anything like thatso wtf is this? this is on an 11th gen civic and it attaches to a fender as a retaining bracket of some sort
>>28784327i don’t wanna
it looks like one of these but the centre hex drive is proper fuckedsee if you can grab it with vice grips, vampliers or some other sort of extractor holy fuck what is this new captcha? i haven't posted on here in months and now you gotta do 3 of them?

2027 corvette grand sport is rumored to have a new engine with over 500 horse power and rumored to be priced under 100k. Is it worth the wait bros? I was going to get a stingray but the grand sport is obviously going to be the superior car. I want to put those fast and furious wannabes in their place
>>28783080So now you're back to moving goalposts from >why do you touch dick shaped shifters to>well I'm sure the vast majority of them look like one(while providing no supporting evidence)Your tactics are cyclical and stale. You have no cogent point to make and are now resorting to anecdotal meme mods. Truly pathetic Anon.
>>28783119Are you saying the vast majority of manual shifters aren't dick shaped lmao absoulete denial and cope you brown homo
>>28782849Speak for yourself, wrenchlet.
>>28783124You asked me >Why do you like to play with dick shaped objects anon?I'm still simply posting shifters from cars I've owned to disprove this silly implication. You've gone from>>28777414>hurr you touch dick shifters>>28780287>hurr well i'm sure most shifters DO look like heck'n dickarinos(doesn't post one)>>28780565>false claim that rule is that all shifters look like dicks to support your retarded argumentYou have some serious issues Anon. You could have simply admitted fault instead of going full retard. Yet alas. Which part of this 3 part cycle will you revert to next, one can only wait to see.
>>28783143You are the only one who thinks the majority of shifters aren't dick shaped you homosexual. It's 2025. You don't have to pretend you're straight anymore
