>>27604875Is it really a hot take to prefer production car based racing cars over silhouette style racing cars?I'm certain there's plenty of boomers who loathe NASCAR for making the switch.
>>27604798>I'd much prefer to see REAL CARS racingLol. Lmao.They were never "real" cars, in any series. Every team made adjustments to the gearing, engine, aero... That RS2000 will have a lot more done to it than any RS2000 you could buy off the lot.
>>27604677The pikes peak audi quattro was on a poster above my bed.
>>27604917>ummm sweaty those weren't real cars because they had a different diff ratioYeah but at least they actually had the engine and drive wheels in the same fucking place
>>27604677What I don't get is how in spite of the crazy engines and aero, it didn't take long for the much more restricted Group A cars to begin to outpace Group Bs.
How does anyone afford a new truck? Do you have to make over 100k a year? I make 72k and it would be hard unless I put 15k or more down. Who is buying these? Dual income couples? Most people don't make close to 100k in the US.
>>27605440Half tons look like shit but the current small trucks don't? lol okay take your meds and get your eyes checked. What "true SUV's" do you think are better?
>>27605239People either get 84 month payments at some retarded interest rate, lease them, or just YOLO everything into some meme truck that has a 50/50 chance of getting repo’d. Keep in mind that despite everyone bitching about inflation consumer spending hasn’t died down a bit.
>>27605239>solid axle conversion>100KAt that point just buy a Jeep.
>>27605239avg new car buyer makes 124ktheyre not for you
Same boat as you, OP.75k/year. Have 25k saved.Wanting a higher trim Silverado 1500 or F150.Even with 25k down, monthly rates (estimated) are $500-$699.Not sure how much insurance would be either.

It's signature black, matte paintjob is retarded idea from a functional point of view (car is basically invisible in the dark), however it looks kinda cool with copper accents. I live in wealthy, post-commie neighbourhood, so there are lot's of BMW, Audi, Lexus, Mercedes etc in here and these Cupras started appearing in mass.I know it's suppose to replace Seat and I've read VAG reports that they consider Cupra as "semi-premium" brand - between regular VW and Audi. However when I checked prices VW T-Roc in same configuration is as expensive (if not more) as Cupra's flagship Formentor.Anyone owns Cupra? Is it really better than Seat or Skoda or VW?
>>27604807I can answer that (different anon). It looks like it has hifi tower in the middle. Probably even uglier than current tablets.
>>27604826But it is a hifi tower, I mean it can even play music!I'm asking because a friend owns a slightly different Opel, but with a similar interior (same shapes, less aluminum or whatever that light grey stuff is), and it's not that bad in person. It's modest and sharp, it's not that blobby stuff with a lot of unnecessary blue Ford makes, and it's definitely better than modern interiors with a lot of different shapes that are a pain to clean.
>>27605019>But it is a hifi tower, I mean it can even play music!Yeah. It was looking obsolete even 15 years ago.>it's definitely better than modern interiors with a lot of different shapes that are a pain to clean.I give you that. However in newest cars they do tend to simplify all these sapes and forms.

americans call this a tractor
>>27604958Volvos are for vulvas
>>27604946Cope. In every european country there is also accents and different names for different things. So think about states as regions of a country.

>>27605209Wrong! Don’t drive for swift or Werner? You speak with the experience of a swift or with 6months on the road clearing 25k a year.
>>27605810The level of seething will be unimaginable. Yes this is a tractor the same as a 400hp freightliner sleeper cab pulling a 53’ trailer.

RETVRN to wagonnot my actual car but identical
I even seem to find a video of it without them advertising some kind of a product brand. Do you wax it and how often ? How long does it take ? Scotty says wax every 3months.There is an option to "water-wax" on manual carwashes but I don't think it helps much given it cost 50 cent.
There's an adv saying turtle wax is no1 in usa. But there's simply too much to choose from. Anyone already did the research and give the summary ?
>>27605830no i ceramic coated it its so much better
>>27605830i use a wash n wax soap. seems to work well enough, not looking for show quality.
>>27605830I was planning to with full synth for maximum duration. Probably twice a year at early spring and late fall. If you have heavy sunlight all year long, theres zero reason not to wax your car at least twice a year since the UV ruins the paint otherwise. If you want full effectiveness instead of looks, try aiming towards synthetic waxes as these focus more on the effectiveness and duration of the wax effect rather than making the car look as good as possible.Quick waxes are better than nothing but nowhere near as good as an actual wax surface
>>27605830I use a paste wax by hand and try to apply it at least twice a year. It's a bit of a workout, usually takes about an hour between applying, waiting for it to harden and buffing it off. Fills in minor imperfections in the paint and gives it a very satisfying feel to the touch
What colour should I paint my Boring-Silver Toyota MR2 Spyder?
>>27604384>Shrek greenI bought one and I loved the color after 5 minutes. The color code is 6S1 "Green Mica Metallic".
That green looks great on that car. I'd personally a pearlescent grayish-purple/lavender that I've seen but can't describe well
Canary yellow
>>27603932these are like 3k cars. just get one in a more interesting colour.
>>27604580Shit it does look sick doesn't itAdd a bodykit and a spoiler and neon lights on the underbody and walla you're an NFS Underground car
Name a Westren vehicle you can buy brand new that has more soul than this.I'm waiting...
>>27605149>Why are American pickups not more common in Russia?They were rather popular before new import/registration restrictions that came into force mid 2010s or so, and the common people became poorer again in 2014 (RUB became almost twice as cheap compared to USD and never recovered) thanks to Vlad. Speaking of common people (not richfags) who count money, the annual vehicle tax in Russia is based on the horsepower mostly, and the rate is way more expensive above 250 hp, but vehicles registered as light trucks get a different, linear lower rate. Among other things that changed for imports, it became harder to register crew cabs (most popular type) as light trucks, making the tax rate essentially the same as their SUV counterparts have, so a lot of people switched to the SUVs. Another thing that changed during the 2010s is that a lot of streets in Moscow essentially became toll roads for light trucks thanks to the Moscow administration.>If so, why not build the pickups in Russia?The UAZ Patriot has a pickup version, lol.>>27605175>too "low-status" for richfags.How rich are we talking about? Because RAM trucks in top trims were and still are rather popular as a status symbol.
>>27603791Brazen, anon…
>>27604998The Chevy Niva has the same axels and driveline as the original, but with a longer wheelbase. >designed as a Niva replacement, but AvtoVAZ can't afford to build more than a handful for 4 years>joint venture time, result is the Chevy Niva>turns out it was never designed to pass NCAP and can't be sold outside russia and a few neighbouring countries (oops)>GM still puts it in production, immediately forgets about it and so some russian dudes just kinda build these things for 18 years I guess>GM also holds the "Niva" naming rights for that period, hence the Taiga and 4x4 badging at AvtoVAZ>someone at GM realises what's going on, immediately sells the rights and tools back to AvtoVAZ in 2020>Nivas are sold as Nivas again and pretty soon after this facelift is released
>>27604998>it was a (licensed) Fiat parts bin CUVthis is absolutely not a CUV
>>27605303>too "low-status" for richfags.>How rich are we talking about? Because RAM trucks in top trims were and still are rather popular as a status symbol.I think their rich people mostly prefer to pretend that they're wealthy Europeans. So they buy expensive Audi and Mercedes cars.Someone's probably making a fortune smuggling them through Kazakhstan.
Is flipping the bird at mobile speed cameras while going past at double the speed limit on my motorcycle. Fucking boot licking scum the lot of them. I am tempted to start a new hobby of throwing broken spark plugs at them. Why shouldn't i? Not like they can do anything about it they don't even sit in the cars anymore because people keep fucking their shit up. What is your /o/ related hobby anons?
I used to hit them with one of these blasting past them at 200kmh when I had a sports bike a decade ago.Nowadays my bikes are too slow to trigger anything except people stuck behind me.I also used to cruise around with my mates and smash speed cameras with crowbars, but that was over 2 decades ago.I didn't have anything against cops back then, but I did have hatred towards speed cameras as they're just a scheme to steal money from people, not about road safety.Also never forgethttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epPls1dyqy8
>>27605765If the government cared about road safety they would employ more highway patrol, i pass a few cop cars and i know i need to behave because they are out and about but a speed camera? Fucking google maps tells me where they are and i slow down where they are then speed back up just like everyone else on the road.Their new one is a camera that looks into your car to see where your phone is, if you phone is sitting in the wrong spot they will send you a fine in the mail even though every phone works hands free in 2024 even cheap $150 phones
>>27605789Norway is hell on earth with speed cameras cause they’ll fucking track the time between cameras too and fine you if you’re too quick between em
>>27605879average speed cameras can go die in a hole filled with napalm. thank fuck they only apply to commercial trucks here. bonus is that most people have no clue, so it makes it easy as fuck to pass slower traffic.
>>27605756I flip off the seatbelt/phone cameras. I hold my hand on my seatbelt, so I hope it gets flagged and reviewed manually.
