The choice that separates the MEN from the boys.
>>28600993I put a nice soap and change it when I use up mine
>>28600993
>>28600993Correct. Boys have a favorite little tree and men keep their car clean so they don't have to hang up some stink-pretty inside it.

boomers were so retarded that they'd buy stuff to off-gas even more VOCs because "it smells good"fucking retards.
Can anyone else actually see a Fucking thing at night? tonight I drove since 5:10pm to 9:30 with my 1984 Mazda Rx-7 250 miles. By far the worst miles were on the freeway, I may have a bit of astigmatism but running high beams barely equaled a couple of their fog lights. Backroads, uncongested highways, roads where people know not to fuck around, absolutely perfect. HID and Projector headlights are a Bane on the existence of the night driver none of them are aimed properly on the assembly line anymore combined with the massive light pollution.call me a boomer, but I could identify all the headlights and taillights of cars pre 2005 as a child before everything got too bright, and I was born in 95'. Night drives were my favorite thing before I discovered deer were retarded.
>>28602777Windshield is a wear item, anon
>>28602777>HID and Projector headlights are a Bane on the existence of the night driver none of them are aimed properlyProperly aimed projectors are way better than reflectors, they don't blind you if you're not inside the light cone. All reflectors have light leaks (even properly aimed ones), that's one of the reasons they are less effective than projectors. And for improperly aimed, you definitely don't want a big bowl of light to imprint on your retina for 10 minutes. With projectors it would be a small dot.
>>28604385>then there's the idiots who recoil when someone floats the idea of introducing legislation to control headlight brightnessBut it is controlled. Even two decades' old regulations require headlights over 2000 lm to have a washer (or other type of cleaner) and auto-leveling system, iirc. Newer ones might be even stricter, but I don't own any nu-cars.
>>28604965you are yapping at the /o/ equivalent of hfcs or the vaxxthese retards dont want to hear the truth, it might contradict their fee fees
>>28602823It's not just an issue in low cars. I drive a truck with a small front-end lift (leveling kit) and I still get blinded by some vehicles. Oddly the worst offenders are small European crossovers. I think dealers are just failing to adjust the lights properly.
1971 Deville work. Re-rebuilding my Rovhester Quadrajet, as I was concerned it was causing my current no start issue. I have another thread thats still a little active, would love a hand diagnosing this from anyone now that I've got it taken apart again.
>>28602280OP here, I got it fixed right up, and I did jist that with the secondaries, yanked em before putting the upper assembly back on, put them on last. She runs all good now! Turns out my dumbass flooded the bowl when I pre-filled it from the vent at the front of the carb. She started right up after a shot of starter fluid this time round, and started unassisted thereafter. Though now I have a new, albiet smaller, issue. That shitt little brake line fitting that holds the double flared fuel line in the carb is leaking slowly. A solid drip every few seconds, and you can hear pressure leaving amd bubbling when I kill the engine.Any known substitutes to that double flared fitting? Hard to get a good seal on them shits. In any regards, she's running again. I appreciate everyones help. And any tips for dealing with hard fuel lines on old POS GM engineered engines would be awesome.
>>28602553Nice job OP:) I can't think of another way to do the fuel line, without using some fancy flexible line-adapter. I could be wrong, but it's probably cheapest to just bend and flare a new line. I'm surprised it's leaking with only a couple psij of fuel on it - it's gotta be dinged up pretty bad. Are you SURE it's the line and not the housing that holds the inline filter? That used to come with a flat O-ring that sealed it to the carb body.
>>28602553>>28604332I'm betting the leak is not from the double flare but from the fuel filter housing fitting instead. Like Anon mentioned it should have a thin plastic gasket installed.Another thing about 'Jets and that fitting. ALWAYS use two wrenches when loosening or tightening the double flare fitting. At best you'll twist the fuel line up and at worst strip out the threads in the carb body. Further, when putting that fuel filter fitting into the carb you should always try to get it all the way seated by hand. It's fine thread so really easy to cross-thread and one sign is having to use a wrench to get the fitting seated but not yet tight.
>>28601972What YouTube video did you get your opinion from?
>>28604519Gimme a break here. Nobody ever liked the things until some off-roader found they could take a pretty good angle and still function reasonably well and posted a youtube or something about it sometime relatively recently. So, if anything, the reverse of what you said is true. Hell, even Popular Hot Rodding couldn't rehab the the 'Bog's reputation when the did a series back in the 90's that showed one could support about 500hp (with work) which was a lot then.Now that I think about it, this whole Other carbs rule/Holley's drool business only started after everyone stopped working with carbs and went EFI. Used to be you couldn't give a QuadraBog away and only Mopar nuts would take a Carter (for free, of course, since they never had money)
Are EVs more or less reliable than gas cars? We have a bunch of golf carts at my work and they've never had issues. They've got to be decades old. So how does a scaled up golf cart have so many issues? I've read conflicting sources, some say they're more reliable some say less reliable.Asking because I want picrel because honestly all I need is a golf cart to get around town. It does snow though so maybe a bad idea?
>>28596218I have driven an ev as my daily gas saver for 5 years now.Outside of some retarded defects from the factory that got fixed for free (headlight issue)and an oil pump that would have been a $500 fix if not under warranty (the transaxle they use between the motor and the wheels has its own oil cooling system) have been the only major issues I have had with 135,000 miles on the clock.I use it for work.The brakes are still stock and have yet to need to be replaced because of the engine braking (regen)The only gripe is it did lose a fair amount of range. Though my old car around the same mileage got less, range, just not as much. However after 100,000 miles it's pretty much stayed the same range. if doing a bunch of around town driving it's 200-240 miles instead of 330 (in reality it was always around 270) highway? 180.However, I wish I could get an EV that didnt have retarded infotainment crapgive me a replaceable radio, give me gauges.Comment too long.

>>28596218Eh for less money you can get a base Impreza that will be awd for the snow. Also includes a stereo system and the headlights turn with the steering wheel.
>>28599085>20k is cheap for a new car20k is average on the economy end more like.
>>28596277For me it’s the opposite. Tesla is the only EV brand I trust. They have been building EVs for 15 years. That’s three times a long as most traditional automakers or the Chinese startups.
>>28596218>Are EVs more or less reliable than gas cars?more. much more.the number of moving parts is lower by more than an order of magnitude, and they're not subjected to explosions, billions of miles worth of friction and super high temps (by design) neither. however, EV startups, notably tesla, might be very good at making drivetrains and writing software for same, but they're not very good at building the rest of the car around it. you know, what with being startups and all, they just don't have the experience.so, your model 3 might have a very reliable drivetrain, but the seat might start squeaking. or the fancy smart retractable door handle might break. which sucks. a lot less than rod knock or a blown gasket or an exploded turbo, you can fix a squeaking seat or a door handle much more easily and cheaply than those things, but it still sucks. and ofc if you go the opposite route and try for an EV from an trad mfgs, you'll have the opposite problem. the car part will be fine (well, as fine as their ICEs are), but those guys can't into software. so the infotainment will suck and make you crazy, the ev drivetrain software will suck and give you less hp and miles/kwhr than tesla would at the same price etc etc. eventually, however, things will improve. tesla has already made great strides in build quality from its early days (presumably the same will happen for rivian/lucid eventually), and the more recent EV offerings from trad mfgs aren't as ridiculously outclassed on the drivetrain front as they used to be. tesla still has a sizeable advantage in miles/kwhr as well as kwhrs/$, but the gap is closing. infotainment still sucks across the board (except tesla), but presumably that will improve too.i can't really comment on chinks as i don't really have any experience with them, but i assume they'll start to converge as well. at least, the ones that survive the inevitable rounds of bankruptcy/acquisitions that are clearly due the chink ev market.
Hey /o/I am retarded.I have a mkiv jetta with a VR6 and it misfires on cylinder 1.I replaced the coil because one of the nipples was broken, and it had a crack in it, didn't fix the issue. (was only vaguely hopeful it would fix it)I swapped cylinder 1 and cylinder 4 plug wires cause they're of similar enough lengths, didn't move the misfire.I swapped the cylinder 1 and cylinder 5 plugs, didn't move the misfire.I've listened to the injector with a screw driver, and it's clickingIt has compression, cause with no plug in runs horrendous, and with a plug in it just runs unsmooth.What's my next move? It is the injector?
Owning a pickup is the thinking man's choice.A pickup is comfy, spacious, safe, and capable. You get ground clearance and 4x4 for off roading, a bed for moving anything from lumber to furniture, and towing capacity (sure you can bolt a hitch to anything but you won't get the brakes and transmission that come with a vehicle built with towing in mind).Modern engines are powerful yet fuel efficient to where it doesn't make sense to agonize over losing a few MPGs. Contrary to popular belief on this board, you also don't need to be towing a trailer or using the bed 24/7 to justify owning a pickup. For generations the pickup has been seen as ultimate vehicle for a masculine, capable man for good reason.I know /o/ constantly cries about trucks this ultimately boils down to communist envy.
A truck can do everything a car and suv can do. An suv and car can’t do everything a truck can do. Why would you buy anything else?
>>28605454Because I actually enjoy driving
>>28605454An SUV can carry like 8 people, you used to be able to seat people in the bed of a truck but they banned that. When I visited Mexico I was offered a ride in the back of a pickup and it was fun.
>>28604282smol is funTrucks are for NPCs.
>>28605456Why do you seethe if other people drive things you don’t like then?
Here's your futuristic car, br/o/
>>28605484I don't think they share EV platform with Renault. This is more like Ariya's little bro.
>>28605235This looks like the most wortwhile EV coming any time soon. It has really good range and features given the price.
>>28605498Doesn't the Ariya use the Renault-Nissan CMF-EV platform, now renamed to AmpR Medium after Groupe Renault's subsidiary Ampere took it over?The platform is supposed to be used by the Renault Megane, Nissan Ariya & Leaf and possibly a new Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross.
>>28605554You're right, it's all sibling vehicles.
>>28605439This highlights the benefit of EV over ICE. Despite its small length, it still boasts impressive boot and interior capacity. An ICE this short would have had minimum space for the back seats/trunk.
Should I buy an OBS ford with a 460 or a 2010 ranger
>>28604322I'd argue against the simpler since the 7.3 is retarded easy to work on, but it's definitely more expensive.Go fer the 460 then, fren.
>>28604287If he's going to daily it yes but I went with a 460 because I'm only putting 2k a year on mine and 7.3s have like a 5-15k premium compared to an identical truck w/ a 460.
Whats the trick to getting one these that isn't a clapped out poorfag mobile or conversely a pristine garage kept grandpa truckI've always wanted one but it seems most of them for sale are the former.
>>28604415I found my '03 super duty at a dealership from a small town. Got there at 8am and by noon there were four other dudes there to look at it while I was already shaking hands and getting the DMV paperwork finished.It's just luck and knowing what to look for. Gotta be picky. You'll inevitably "my expectations for a truck are filtering like 99% of all the shit I see" to yourself and consider just giving up and buying a shitty one and "fixing it"Keep at it. It'll take awhile, but it'll be worth it.
>>28604415unless you have a lot of cracking on the interior plastics, most of these trucks can be fully restored on the inside with a pressure washer, some dawn, and a few cans of paint. they're all clapped out poorfag mobiles but they can be cleaned
What muscles should you train to be a good driver?
the ones for card swiping
>>28603550Wrong. You need to train muscle endurance for your entire body. Reaction time isn't as important as smooth reactions as your latency only limits the kind of cars you can drive.
>>28605085Your ass. Thinking will slow you down.
>>28603591Based as ever.

>>28599627>the Urus was the first exampleThat would be the Cayenne (or LM002)
>>28605330LM002 was a proper offroader not cuckover and not even the first in its line (002 should be a pretty bold hint). And not even the first non-car or offroad vehicle for Lamborghini, who originally made agricultural tractors.
Chrysler 300. Just because it would make the melinated crowd mad.

Does anyone else frequently encounter others cutting corners?I swear it's at least twice a week I pull up to a light and someone turns and passes through the oncoming lane.I'm so used to it at this point I slow down early just in case, even if it gets a cop following my ass for a few minutes. And EVEN then there's still that one person who manages to nearly clip me or someone else
>>28604819>>28604806did you just get your license last week?this is very normal behavior. The only thing that still pissed me off 15 years after getting my license is people that turn into the wrong fucking lane. even worse is when they do so in a double left
>>28604806OP pic is retardedProbably because it's British
>>28604819that's on you
>>28604806This is why stop lines exist, and you stop BEFORE the stop line.If you’re not doing this, you’re the retard.
>>28604806My favorite is when there is two left turn lanes, and drivers in the rightmost left turn lane cross into the far left lane, sometimes directly into another cars right headlight. But hey, that's why we have insurance right? So we can fuckup and keep making social media posts while driving.
Pls explain this ridiculous car trend from recent years in the market, and lack of diverse design other than progressively-common angry car faces. Yes, psychologically speaking, cars have "faces", it's a form of pareidolia.I get it if we're talking about sports cars, but almost every car nowadays looks angry, even to the point that some Jeep owners (and Dodge Neon owners), for some weird reason, add a literal design modification to their vehicle's front lights so that they aren't famously round anymore. Modern Fiat 500's and Mini Cooper's, which also had iconic, rounded front lights, also look angrier now. WHY? What market need is being met or what problem does this trend solve?What kind of society are we living in, or civilization, where the more neuroticism there seems to be on the roads, coincides with more angry car faces on the roads? Why is society being manipulated like this? And what is the end goal?Relevant links:"Why Do Modern Cars Look Angry?"
