Why are people ruining their lives to drive these?
>>28954129You don't they're in the debt though You want them to be in debt because it's the only way you could get what they have, and if they're not in debt then that makes them better than you and that doesn't feel good
>>28954137what a weird intersection of pilpul and ESL.
>>28954137Hmm...
>>28954141Yes okay they are """in debt""" in the sense that they're financing something. That doesn't mean they """ruined their lives""" by taking out 84 month loans on range topping trucks. You're lumping in everyone driving a $190/mo Kia K4 with your strawman
>>28954089Today a truck full of girls pulled up to me at the red light. They were smiling and gesturing for me to roll my window down.I figured they wanted to compliment me on the Coexist sticker on my Prius, so I obliged. But as soon as I rolled it down they were blasting Ye's "N-word Heil Hitler" song. Like, full blast. The bass was so loud it was making the coins in my cup holder rattle. They were all laughing and doing Hitler salutes. They were telling me "come on do it" (the salute). When I shook my head No, one of the girls laughed and called me a "f*g."I said, "Sorry, I'm a Jewish man," assuming they would understand.Nope. Instead they laughed even more. I heard one of the girls say "ewwwww" and they drove forward, just laughing at me the whole time. They pulled up to the truck in front of me and asked the guy to roll his window down, and that guy actually participated. I saw the girls putting his number in their phones and taking pics. Other cars started honking in support.Like everyone knew the song and was enjoying it. Not ONE person cared that I was curled up in my seat and being traumatized. I got home and told my partner what happened. He said it is time for us to leave and consider moving to California.
It was a cabrio but the soft top didn’t work which was a shame. It felt like a well planted car due to the 2.6m wheelbase and handled pretty well in corners, at least it did to me. It was the 2L turbo version and even with 180hp it could climb a steep hill at 90kmh just fine, it was the 5speed manual. The central key lock was a bit weird but other than that it was a cool ride and the door handles swung upwards. Any of you guys ever drive a Saab? What about Volvos? I’m looking to get behind the wheel of a 850 next. Any sites you guys get parts for yours or aftermarket upgrades? Any forums that go into depth on them?
>>289536682.0t, stock 150bhp/240nm. I bought it at a little over 220 000km and it is now approaching 300 000k. I've had issues getting it past inspection, but no issues that actually affected functionality. Most of those issues were related to rust, but then again the car is almost 25 years old. One year it had fuel leak, and the other it failed due to the muffler being literally rusted through. It has never failed me mechanically or failed to start the nearly 7 years I've owned it. It had a relay issue that took some digging to fix, but getting me from A to B has never ever been an issue. >Any mods you did on it to improve its performance or reliability?The 2.0t came stock with 150bhp/240nm, but could also be ordered factory tuned to 192bhp/310nm. Getting a stock 2.0t up to 192bhp is as easy as changing a setting in the ECU, but you'll need a tech 2 device (only diagnostic tool that is guaranteed to work on saabs, also needs a Win XP pc/virtual machine). If the car is 2002 or earlier the 2.0t came with green injectors, which will need to be swapped for red/burgundy ones to guarantee performance on a tuned engine. From 2003 and onwards all injectors were standardized to the burgundy color, so if the car is a MY03 or newer you only need to do the ECU settings. Beyond that the 2.0t block can handle up to 300bhp, but shouldn't go over that. The stock turbo needs to be swapped if you're going over 220bhp however. Stock manual gearbox will be fine up to like 350/400bhp.1/2
>>28953668>>28953684The earlier 2.0t engines also had a nasty oil sludge issue, where if you were even slightly late with oil change intervals the oil wouldn't cycle through the engine properly and it would starve. This was fixed from MY04 onwards, and retrofit kits were issued on an individual basis. If you're buying a Saab with a 2.0t engine from a MY03 or earlier, check the oil change interval records. If they can't be produced drop the oil pan and look for the usual metal flakes. Even if documentation is available, best drop the oil pan regardless. If the oil has been changed on a regular basis and the usual maintenance has been done these engines are dead reliable. Chain instead of belt as well, which is very nice. >improve reliabilityI just do 2 oil changes a year. That's it. Spring and autumn. Regular intervals on everything else.The 2.3t is a bit more complex, since the B234 and B235R are built different. You want the former because it has much stronger internals and doesn't suffer from the oil pickup issue as the B235R and the 2.0t. The 2.3t could be taken all the way up to 310bhp, with the B234 capable of up to 400bhp on stock internals. I know a lot more about the 2.0t than the 2.3 though. Same procedure for tuning as the 2.0t, tech 2 diagnostic and a Win XP machine.>Any rust you had to cut out and weld?Standard floor pan rust like on most cars, but they love getting rust on the wheel arches (you can see it on my picture) and on the boot lid handle. The rust will eventually be its death sadly, it's too far gone to bother spending a fortune fighting. I will enjoy the car while it lasts.
>>28953684>the engine starves if sludge builds up but restomods exists to solve the issueWhat are the differences between the two engines? Is the oil pick-up bigger, the oil channels wider or less likely to get blocked?
>>28951986I will admit the first generations better, and I'm biased because I own the second, but the second does still look cool, the front feels kind of a bit "beefy" and the back reminds me of the feltzer from the GTA games. In Europe it's a bit bigger than the rest of the cars you'll see feel like you're in a modern hotwheels sized version of an American landyacht, bonus points for the form of it not being an egg-shaped hatchback or estate, AND having a roof that comes down.Definitely prefer the pre-facelift one of the second gen though, and want to own the first generation some day, the back of them reminds of 90s jaguars/aston martins, somehow
>>28953845>is the oil pick-up bigger, the oil channels widerFairly certain it's both. Standard procedure when checking for sludge issues is cleaning out the pick-up screen anyway, after dropping the pan. Also officially recommending more frequent oil changes and use of higher quality synthetics.Other common engine issues are with the ignition cartridge, where the cartridge itself can develop cracks. Usually the engine will give you lots of warnings before this becomes a serious issue (rough idle, difficulty starting, loss of power) but they absolutely _must_ be replace by OEM spec parts. Do not cheap out on these.Also, any part connected to the ECU _must_ be programmed out with a tech 2 tool, any a replacement must be programmed in. Otherwise the car will throw error codes and most likely the replacement part will refuse to work or the ECU will stop you from starting the engine.

What is stopping me from importing a car (such as picrel) to the U.S before it turns 25 and keeping it in storage or driven only on private roadways (or around on airfield property) until it turns 25?
I drove for an hour at 120km/h, before realizing my handbrake was up.What are the implications for my handbrake? Am I going to get my ass raped?
>>28953070nah it's fine, your rear brakes aren't that important anyway
>>28953070>I drove for an hour at 120km/h, before realizing my handbrake was up.If you didn't smell anything then it already wasn't working so you're in the clear
my mom did that, boiled some brake fluid, glazed some drums.just flush your fluid, check your rear pistons for leaks, and replace the pads if necessary.
>>28953070I can't fucking stand niggers.
>>28953070Readjust the Parking brake and send it.All did you was wear down the contact part of the park brake pads.

I'm deep inside the gas tank of my E32 750il and the sender reserve light contacts don't work. The tank is filled to the brim with rust (expected). I pulled the sender out and the resistance for the level sensor checks out. The reserve light sensor however is open even when the float hits the bottom of the central shaft. I found on inspection that there's a plate with the contacts on it that's come lose from the top phenolic float bob, along with a washer and a smaller plastic ring. I'm pretty sure that they're supposed to be affixed to the float bob, but I'm not sure how they are stacked. Nor am I sure on how to reattach this bit. Would it be reasonable to simply use fuel resistant glue on the float and glue it back to the float bob?
>>28953557>exposed metalprobably galvanised or something? yuro marques seem to have very good corrosion/rust mitigation practices.
>>28953569I wasn't going to get into this because "fuel resistant" just made me hang my head in shame. Like I feel personally responsible for allowing a generation to be so fucking clueless as to physics or chemistry or just being able to understand the difference between the definition of "resistant" and "proof".Imagine this guy is your armorer in the apocalypse and he hands you a "bullet resistant" vest.Like.Just.Fuck dude.This is our future.
>>28953573No I don't think it's galvanized, just high quality non-communist steel
>>28953616wouldn't be surprised if they spec'd a grade of steel with great corrosion resistance. back then a luxury car also meant good engineering that lasted.
>>28953569Dam bro, just stop now.Take the loss and move on

>>28953888from all the footage ive seen of GT7 physics so far, all the cars look like they're being magnet'd to the ground
am I tripping or are there no cool landmarks at all this time?i still remember many cool spots the mehico map had, but this japan map kinda sucks in that regard. the roads are more fun to drive though
>>28953958thats because shitters put racing slicks on all cars.but cars having zero grip is a busrider fantasy because all they know are the plastic street tires of assetto corsa
>>28953958GT7 fanbase has the most retarded tuners. And the game doesn't put limitations around retarded tuning so the physics break easier than other games

just thought of the coolest fucking name for a truck
>>28953633Wish I had TS/SCI reeeeeee
>>28954027oh, this isn't TS. If it was TS I'd be billing 2k an hour. This is a comfy side gig
found a CB radio at the thrift store and have it set to channel 19 but there's fucking nothing on it, what channel are you truck fags using these days
>>2895412219It’s 2026… what makes you think everyone is wanting to talk on the CB, these days?Also, adjust your squelch and RF gain to make sure you’re getting reception. Also, do a radio check, you retard. Surely, there’s someone nearby with their CB on that will respond.
So im planning a road trip for late August. The idea is first leg to Reno thursday night to spend time with family then friday morning go drive through Zion and see the natural wonders there and possibly end the day at Yellowstone and camp there friday night. Saturday i planned to just bum rush the plains and try to make it as far as i can driving late into the night finding some place to camp out in Minnesota. Spend sunday driving along the great lakes and spend some time checking out the maritime museums that dot the coastline. Then show up in Detroit sunday night for a hotel check in. That next week I'll be in Detroit on business so in theory this will only take one vacation day to do this then I'll take all of next week to finish the trip cross country. This first leg im wondering if I'm trying to see too much and if i should tone it back or cut my itinerary
>>28954028I go to Reno every so often to see family
>>28954074Where is the best buffet?
>>28954028I did a 920mi ~15h trip to get back home once. Long fucking day
>>28952803what are you driving anon?when i take road trips, I always rent a car. a minivan in most case so I can easily sleep in the back.benefits of renting>not your car>no wear and tear>anything happens, it happens to a rental>get to experience a low milage 2026 model year
>>28954120Yeah I've done those a couple times, those were brutal to the point where I didn't really care where I was at the end of the day. Just wanted out of the truck knowing there was another day of driving. Setting cruise control at 83mph ruins my fuel economy, but it shaves about an hour off the total trip. 32mpg versus 38mpg, but its over 1 hour earlier.
If motorcycles were safer, I would ride in them. Anyone else on the fence about the whole project?
>>28954060>you need to use hearingOmegakek, no the fuck you don't retard. This nigga think he daredevil!99.9% of riders who haven't lost their hearing or aren't deaf yet run earplugs. Loud pipes do save lives btw, because it forces a reaction from others to find out where the noise is coming from. If you force a glance you just went from being invisible to visible (albeit the eye witness will be annoyed but fuck em its your life)Anyway, funniest shit I've seen is you acting like daredevil, listening for cars instead of using your fucking eyes
>>28953244>i dont want to lane splitWhy not? It's the best thing about riding.
>>28953316>98% of wrecks and fatalities are at fault of the rider.Not true at all and you should probably just kill yourself.>99.9% of riders who haven't lost their hearing or aren't deaf yet run earplugs. lmao no>Loud pipes do save lives btw,lmao no
>>28954108You are just as retarded as the 98% anon You should both go to the same store to save money on the rope and stool. Bogo savings. I'll keep staying upright having fun, you can stay on the concreate with a quiet stock exhaust.
>>28954105>Loud pipes do save lives btwNo they fucking do not. That loud noise is pointed behind you or to one side of you. Your average shitbox has enough sound deadening in it to make it so you can't really tell where that noise is coming from. If you think rev bombing your bike generating 120dlb of sound for which it is heard by some retard listening to mumble rap while face timing with their sister about cheating on their baby daddy will prevent them from hitting you, you're a retard deserve to be deaf.
What are the purpose of these abominations?Super limited and slow, much more fragile and dangerous to drive, often do weird noises, often cannot be used on many roads
>>28953164True, there are many.>>28953168trvthnvke
>>28953090I don't hate all micro cars, but I have expressed my hatred of FIAT 500's many times here, and I really just can't resist the urge to complain about how shit they are. Woefully underpowered, uncomfortably small, terrible ergonomics, terrible build quality, new parts are fucking awful and don't last, it's awkward as fuck to work on, many parts like hinges and joints aren't designed to be maintainable and once they wear out a significant amount of effort is needed to replace them for no good fucking reason... the list goes on.FIAT 500's were designed to be cheap throwaway cars for the tight alleyways of Italy, and they performed that role exceptionally well, but as something to keep and drive day to day nearly 70 years later? Garbage. Trash. Fucking worthless. The only positive thing I have to say about them is that they're cute little things to look at, and they make for genuinely amazing pussy magnets; women cannot contain their love for these pretty little sacks of shit.
>>28953313Honestly, I believe you, they are Italian made afterall. But they're so damn cute.
>>28951570They tried to make a successor to this one, but it looks like total crap and sold terribly as a result
>>28951570The F1 version is really funny
.
>>28953837Only if there's bigger/more pistons behind them.>>28953001You can't just look at things in isolation, ideal world physics doesn't work in real world where real materials are squishy and don't transmit force evenly.
>>28952898>clutchIt's an automatic. Better in drag-oriented cars for most people.>but in the video it looks like he shifted and actually acceleratedIt has an aftermarket ratcheting shifter but that wasn't a factor. He went for Park and in the videos with sound you can hear the pawl grinding so he got it in Park but the car was going too fast for the pawl to fall into the sprocket until after impact. THEN you can hear a clack and the car jerks a bit as it engages.
>>28953791>>28953803Makes me wonder if the rear brakes are doing anything. Everything from adjustment to hose/line/shuttle valve in the proportioning valve are suspect at that cars age
>>28953843>"physics dont work in the real world"The new Dark Age will be heralded by individuals like yourself.
>>28954061Not the person you were replying to, but I think he meant in the context of 'in the real world there are much more variables at play than in a physics textbook example'.
