I just put 150,000 miles on my 2012 G37 and considering finding a replacement since not sure how much longer it will last me. Been doing maintenence and no issues, but want a new car thats more updated and has more power.Thinking of purchasing a Lexus IS500 but would appreciate recommendations for options.
>>28838485If that grille was any other color, it would look like shit and you know it.
>>28838476Go get a M2 or M3
>>28839467They STILL haven't fixed the front inner tire wear issue?I heard you can replace some parts with IS-F bushings or some shit and it fixes it--does that work?The whole point of buying a Lexass is less maintenance/running costs, I don't want to be dropping $1500 on new tires every year (I drive 18-20K miles a year for fun)
>>28838483Thanx you 4 this summeryThots on m240 vs m340?
>>28839569Didn’t we have this discussion last week?
What's your favorite thing about cars?
>>28839596The vroom vroom from the boom boom as they neoooooow past
I've been hopelessly addicted to danger for my whole life. Cars facilitate and enable this.
When I get on an empty quiet stretch of road with nice banked corners and a pretty view
I can lock all my doors
>>28839606Good lord, I read danger as daughter first.
No "(the classic I've never seen rally racing ever) RWD isn't good in the snow!" cope or any other bullshit.
>>28839327
>>28839411Proper rust treatment of your chassis + FF can reduce corrosion creep to such a crawl that you are more likely to wrap your car around a tree or get bored of it than having it rot out.
>>28839487*that you can seeUnless you're putting your car on a lift and doing a full undercarriage and panel wash every time you wash it, you aren't getting the salt that is building up in panel gaps/seams and hollow spaces like rockers.
>>28839546You're right, I guess in the future I'll invest in a lift
>>28838480Error 404 traction not found
>>28836728Maybe
>>28836728I don't know
they never stopped being fun.
>>28836728Fun cars are there, you just have to pay 2-3x the price you expected to before.For example, Cumarrow 1LE no longer exists. But Mustgay DarkWhores does (you have to get the NegroHorse trim or above, the lower trims are barely-driveable slop that will overheat engine oil and trans and can't handle for shit).So whereas a "fun" car was $40K before, now it's $80K.Same on the higher end. You can get a Corvfefe Z06 or ZR1, it just costs 2-3x the price of an old C7 Corvette that was equally fun/handlingThe reality is everything has sneakily 2-3x'd in price since the ScamdemicYour money is worth nothing now
They're still fun you're just poor or lack the focus to find a reasonably priced fun car
I mog you.

Best you got is “but muh Toyota reliability” or “Alfa already died in 2007 lmao”. Cope.
I just think they're neat.
I would do very nasty things for a Montreal, but I'm happy with my little 4-banger 33
I want an Alfa Romeo so bad but I can't justify getting one.
Nobody shitting on Ford during a buyout, no Ford at le mans, no GT40

Is it possible to retrofit hands free driving and adaptive crooz into a slightly older car? Like let's say could an early 2000s Audi S4 handle it? Sometimes I want fun, sometimes I want easy.
>>28838725>Sometimes I want fun, sometimes I want easyYou get two cars, one with all the digital tech nannies and a CVT to autocruise on your commute to work, and another with a manual transmission and hydraulic steering with no nannies you use for fun on the weekends.
>>28838725Yes but not the way you think. Geohot (yes the PS3/iPhone guy) has been working on a drop in adaptive system for years and works with many models off the shelf. It requires I think 2015 or newer as that's when the systems that laid the bones for the software were mandated.
>>28839418https://comma.ai/Geohot did make his own sensors and so it himself back in the day when he was building this, so if you're technical take a look at his project log/notes and grab his software. In general tho the vast majority of people will be unable to do this and even if you did succeed you'd become effectively a bit of a subject matter expert due to how many systems you'd be splicing into that car and how you calibrate his software
>>28839420https://hackaday.com/tag/geohot/More info from when he launched in 2016His home build https://hackaday.com/2015/12/17/self-driving-acura-built-in-a-garage/He has a great talk on these systems I'd recommend listening to, the gist is that humans are actually exceptional drivers and do well in over 96% of cases, the systems like these should be used to remove mental strain and enhance the driver, not replace them as the human in the loop is the only real way to have truly comprehensive failure handling
>>28838772look inside that engine bay and tell me where there is room to fit any of that
How do you do it?
>>28839392>identitySelf projecting because youre so insecure about your own vehicle and think people judge you by what you drive.Ive never thought about what other people think of my trucks. I simply never cared. I literally drive a truck that had a tree fall and crush the bed. I have replacement panels but its been too damn cold to work on it. Maybe this spring ill fix it. Or maybe ill drive it for another year like this. I dont give a shit either way.But that point aside youre actually trying to condemn people for wanting nice things, which seems fairly odd.>keep your boat in the marinaAnother red flag that proves youre clueless about the world outside your parents basement. Ive been on lakes that dont even have a boat launch let alone a pier or slip. And why the fuck would i want to cruise around the same shoreline year after year after year?I have my own 20 acre motorcycle track because ive been into dirt bikes for 30 years. I even did support for my buddy's brother when he ran the Baja 500 one year (he finished 14th in his class on a Yamaha 450 btw- before GPS was common). Youre not going to do that with whatever "car" you think should be mandatory for the peons (like yourself).I do things daily that would be difficult, cumbersome or downright dangerous in a car. You cant even wrap your tiny little brain around that concept and it shows.
>>28839131Lol, no way.

I have replacement panels but its been too damn cold to work on it. Maybe this spring ill fix it. Or maybe ill drive it for another year like this. I dont give a shit either way.if you don't care what people drive then why do you act like people can't enjoy the outdoors without owning a truck? this entire thread is full of "if you don't own a truck you are a sedentary limp-wristed schlub with no friends" which is exactly what Ford and Chevy want people to think when they see an add for a brand new quarter ton pickup>But that point aside youre actually trying to condemn people for wanting nice things, which seems fairly oddif you own a truck because you think trucks are cool and want to drive and work on a truck that's fine I own a sports car because I like cars and I like driving fast and I accept it's a luxury item and part of my hobbyI don't recommend other people buy sports cars because they don't need them, the boring truth of car ownership is most people don't need more than a camry or a 20 year old subaru or tacoma/ranger for cheap AWD
>>28839576Ive never seen one of these in my life.
By most means, the motorcycle is the perfect mode of transportation for the bachelor. Versatile, gas efficient, attention grabbing. It is also the solution to a lot of modern car problems such as the enshittification/surveillance epidemic and the growing traffic catastrophe. The only real issue motorcycles have over four wheeled cages other than cargo and passengers is lethality, which can easily be reduced simply by not being inebriated while riding and by being aware of one's surroundings while vulnerable.We should not allow women (biological or other) to drive, nor men who are handicapped or over the age of 70. Those who cannot afford or drive a personal vehicle can take public transportation. This is the way it has to be.
>>28839352Riding in the pissing rain or freezing cold requires a level of gear that makes putting on gear for the ride a complete PitA. Excellent bait from OP aside, you're never going to sell this shit to people that are already time strapped, or have a premium on walking in the door looking tip-top.Also, some workplaces will actually count riding as a mark against you for promotion, or they'll flat out tell you to drive if you want the position. Sucks, but life is just a series of compromises.
>>28839359i dont live in the third world though, they salt the roads here
>>28839359Fpbp>>28839364>>28839400Wow, you're so fucking clever and realistic.More people should ride as it's fundamentally a far more fuel efficient and economical way to travel. But just like EVs, while it is an ideal solution for some situations, it's not capable of replacing normal cars entirely for a variety of reasons and you'd have to be fucking retarded to not understand that.Now one of you fuckers come buy this bike off me.
>>28839352Any bike that's actually fun (and has been set up properly) isn't that efficient cost wise. You spend a lot on maintenance and tyres, fuel usage isn't that low when you look at really efficient cars, and you have to add all the expensive gear.>>28839409>Complete PitA>Slip on winter jacket>Pull on winter pants>Use winter gloves and bootsIt's the same amount of effort as summer gear>Can't get a promotion if you rideKek, what shithole do you work at? My boss and I often chat about bikes
>>28839595>Slip on winter jacket>>Pull on winter pants>>Use winter gloves and bootsThat's not how that works, especially if you're going into an office environment that is climate controlled. I will nearly always have a midlayer for torso/legs, and if it's really raining, you would also need a waterproof layer over your pants unless your riding pants are all waterproof, and also wide cuffed enough to go over your boots. And then I'm sweating balls because the office is set to 78 degrees because we can't have anyone being cold.>My boss and I often chat about bikesI'm sure. Past a certain level of investment or rank though, they don't like the risk associated with you getting squished, especially if it's difficult to get you replaced.
>minimalist>highly customizable>extremely low tech outside of powertrainwhat does o/ think of slate? is it just a meme? This is what maverick should have been. I reserved mine.
>>28839552>teslas have more power so running it on my grid is going to fuck everything upYes they have more power, but if your wife is only going to use 20kw per day, what difference does it make if you charge 20kw of slate batteries or 20kw of any other vehicle's batteries? Silverado EV, Tesla, Hyundai, Mercedes, you name it.
>>28839561Because a more powerful motor uses more power to do the same job, and the bigger battery/range is going to tempt her to drive to a big city for groceries and then I'm going to have to deal with my grid being angry at me and all my shit breaking and then having to yell at my wife for being a retard nigger who can't follow the rurusBetter to have something built specifically for the job at hand, also you can't put furniture in a tesla, if I want to buy furniture from an antique store it fits in a slate just fine
>>28839566So instead of 20kw of power used in a golf cart, she's going to drive like a normal person and potentially use 21-40kw of power, and your little solar panels can't handle that?
>>28839587I have 46kw of battery designated for the vehicle backup, and 60kw for the house, if the 46kw battery gets to 20% it will consume main house power, main house power is already powering a moderate sized server setup and workshop because fuck gasthe setup can handle it, but the difference between 20 and 40 kw is the difference between my shit working correctly and my shit being fucking annoying to deal with
>>28839587and the slate has 200hp, that is driving like a normal person, you sound like a salesman

i know this is more a simcade complaint but i don't want to adjust the level of ABS, TC, Buttplug Integration, etc. globally, I want an option that is just "give me the factory settings" and then i want to go into the tuning settings for a car to adjust further if need beuntil they do this i WILL leave ABS and TC on, i WILL have the full racing line, i WILL be fifteen seconds off the pace, and i WILL have fun
>>28839579>i WILL be fifteen seconds off the pace, and i WILL have funtell 'em sis
>>28839579FM7 no abs no tc normal steering braking only lineGT6 abs no tc or lowest setting no driving line. ai and licenses are baby mode anyway

>>28838853>>28839018I'm not seeing porsches and ferraris as everyday commuter traffic where I live.
>>28839331I’ll happily take 5HP less on the 3.7L duratec than have my shit ass turbo trash blow up at 60K you ricer wrenchlet.
>>28839069It's only good at highway pulls. Low end torque is weak as shit so it takes forever to get up to speed, feels almost rubber-bandy like turbo lag because of the delay between foot-down and hard-push-in-your-backside>>28839227Ford does auto stop-start on the new Mustangs, even GTs. It's kinda pathetic when you see the big burly supposedly don't-give-a-fuck V8 shut itself down to save $0.001c at the stoplight
>>28839541Mustangs ceased to be made back in 2023; everything after that is just raping the nameplate.
