My tesla gave me an update where my car is like looks like a ghost and it's pretty cool actually
>>29127255>my car is like looks likehe's a brown ESL so he might
>>29127258huh? evs are mostly owned by white men. EVChuds WON
>>29127259I only ever see black gymbros driving Rivians
>>29127261rivian doesn't register, it's more an oh that gay shit
No, only zeus-worshipping pagan ethnic botswanans from bolivia drive those
Elon just took a dinosaur dump all over /o/
>>29127335Thanks detective. No one thinks Bezos is delivering packages or running logistics but he's still the guy that built amazon. Fuckin midwit sperg.
>>29127347>he wants a future without humansThat's not even close to what he's said.I'm basically that leave the billionaire alone meme, not because of him, but because of people like you. You make me sick.Catches a reusable rocket:>what is the practical purpose of this? Isn't this hurting the environment?? WAAAAAAACreates some of the most powerful data centers to be used by AI devs>Did you say AI?? AI BAD SLOPPA, ME NO LIKE!! WAAAAAAAAAHis companies bring him to a trillion dollars:>think of all the useless retards he could have fed!! Why am I not being given some of that money for free?? WAAAAAAAAMakes a flying rocket car that goes from 0-60 in under a second and can drive itself:>ERM.. this is NOT COOL because erm actually erm uhh a bunch of stuff also did you hear what he said on X?? WAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>29127338Problem is those are exactly the kinds of people Elon would sell it to.
>>29123357>Downforce tech is not patentable, every other brand will have it by the end of 2030.An automotive renaissance is the whole point, Ranjan. This is giving multiple regions' automotive industries a mic drop moment to rile up other companies.
>>29124445Not that guy, but:>suspension rig obscures view of drivetrain and general undercarriage>"Buh dere's nuffin dere!">anon reiterates that the rig obscures the undercarriage>"BUH I DON'T SEE NUFFIN!"Boy, you come across as the kind of guy who calls the cops every time you enter the bathroom because you saw your reflection in the mirror and thought someone broke into your place.
Feels weird not having an FD for once, but now I can buy a manual v8 vantage in great condition. >sold the spirit r seats separately for $9k (ouch) >sold car itself for $14k more than I paid for it
>vantagepeople always go to far with their troll posts and give themselves away
>>29126953Yea you fucked up, lol wtf is a vantage?
>>29126953That's cool, as long as you're okay with never seeing an FD for that price again. What you got from selling yours will not be enough to buy another one by next year.
>>29126991They seem to be dropping in price though desu
Post a picture only of your current vehicle (find one online if you need) and make a sound judgement about the poster before you.
>>29115858egyo
>>29126492A highly sensible individual but is also willing to potentially get their legs crushed in a collision in exchange for a fun and practical car.
>>29113038This is the best car I've ever owned. People don't give BMW credit for how good some of them are off road. Have this and a Lexus HS250h kek. Planning to get a G02 X4 with the B58 once this current X3 hits 175,000 miles. It's been reliable apart from the retarded cooling leak issues.
>>29126512I recognize those Japan Racing JR9s anywhere.What other kebab shop tier mods you have in there?
>>29126584this is the car of a man who bought a communist shitbox as a meme and then spent 3 years and his life savings trying to make it “cool”still won’t start on the first try
But heres the reality its probably slow, doesn’t tow that much , and probably not serviceable in the states
>>29124718Based schizo
>>29122850
>>29123463A fender bender in that thing would kill you.
>>29124718I don't doubt the capabilities of the classic Land Cruisers, but I doubt their rustproofing.t. Toyotafag
that looks cool
>driving on turnpike in a down pour>water pooling on shitty pennsylvania roads>drive 10-20 mph under speed limit to avoid hydro planing>occasional retard zooming by 10 mph over the speed limit>wonder how they are maintaining control and not hydro planing>traffic slows to a crawl and backs up>multiple police, ambulances, fire trucks, etc. zoom by>retard crashed into barrier and flipped their car on its sideit's a given that they have no soul -- but are nigger cattle even conscious?
>>29125039yeah us tall handsome millionaire chads are driving on wet condition with ultra soft tires for our 800 hp 8000 lbs cars slowing down is for FAGS and RETARDS who are ugly and aren't 99.999th percentile like us (who can drive fast due a combination of expert skills and expert equipment)
>>29123822>wonder how they are maintaining control and not hydro planingTypically by buying proper tires, but normies aren't really aware there are multiple types.
>>29124049kek
>>29123822>wonder how they are maintaining control and not hydro planingThey have this thing called skill.You're a faggot, so you'll never understand.
>>29124270my jeep has tires that are way too old and I have similar issues. About time to go winter tires, will probably do so just before the next rainy day (unfortunately) and I think a new set will be in order in the spring.
Ok, other than post-ironically blaming JEWS, let's theorize as to why interior vents are so fucked in 2026.>new luxury cars needing to use the screen to move vents>new nissans having zero horizontal vent control, only vertical (???)>list more observstions kidd/o/s I don't really play with many new carsIs this some ploy to turn vents into a subscription, or break them with a remote update? The damn things have been unchanged from the 1950's until mere moments ago, why are they suddenly adding motors into them? Why are they now removing what has been a standard feature of interior vents since their invention?
>>29125256it's not ironic. post nose.
>>29125798reject modernity.embrace monke.demand manual transmissions.
>>29126832they've even found ways to ruin manual transmissions, with rev hang for "muh emissions" and clutch delay valves for zoomers who can't drive stick.
>>29126828>he can't into post ironyIn a world of irony poisoning, being "ironic" means nothing. Nothing said under any context means a damn thing.You say something, if the crowd likes it it's unironic, if the crowd doesn't like it it's ironic. And now the normie is catching onto this reality, that its all lipservice all the way down. Just say things, it doesn't matter anymore.I semi-openly tell people that I'm pro torture and they don't give a fuck anymore lmao.
>>29127064actually literally
Can I drive to the shop with these codes or nah?
>>29126034The shop is like 5 miles away so even a tow wouldn't be that expensive. I'm looking at a plug in hybrid for my next car given I only do city driving
>>29126037five miles? probably could make it then if you drive slow. try to get an autistic plug in most of the normal ones are soulless
>>29126051Eh I might get towed 13 miles to a better shop I think
>>29126016Disconnect the injectors and drive on the remaining cylinders until you can get to a shop.No pressure, no knock.
>>29126051PHEVs are awful.All of the drawbacks of both systems and none of the benefits.
Every time I see a Land Cruiser I can't believe something this big comes from the motherland of Suzuki Cappuccino
>>29124958the ideal vehicle for an african warlord
>>29125044
>>29124958>>29125044bring me da gun of da rambo....>>29125054nvm, dis nigger kill da look
The previous owner of my 105 series removed the very rear seats and installed a camping drawer, if you lower the middle rear seats and lay down across it all you can't even touch the front seats with your hands and the rear tailgate with your feet at the same time, your head doesn't touch the roof when you sit up either, to think that the troop carriers are even longer.
>>29124731>this bigMy SUV has more room behind it's third row than this does behind it's second row. I guess it's big by euro/thirdie standards. It would be nice if America got a real full sized at least Tahoe sized Land Cruiser that isn't a Sequoia or a $100k+ Lexus piano mom mobile.
This shit is why older cars keep appreciating in value. Recent cars are simply worse and keep nagging at you for all the wrong reasons.
>>29126722Some cars do, some don't. Euro laws require all the nannies to turn on as you start the car. The funnest one is your car will know the speed you are allowed to do at all times but they do not require it to comply at this time.Have fun out there.
>>29126706Probably if you find one that's been in an arid state since it was built. Anything from a snow zone is at least frost wedge damaged and likely salt eaten.
>>29126705loads of 2011-2019 cars will still be on the road in 2045
>>29126724>your car will know the speed you are allowed to do at all timeslul, they're wrong much of the time, especially in places with separate (and lower) winter speed limitsapparently driving 20 km/h above the speed limit is fine as long as you only do it in the most hazardous of conditions
>>29126705>The real power play is to get a low milage Japanese car from the 90sEnjoy that rust bro
Why do cars like these even exist?
>>29125679Functionality. Aren't Greek roads full of super narrow and tight bends and alleys?
>>29125679Perhaps it’s because Athens has narrow streets and parking cars on the street is common?
>>29125679Planned obsolescence >>29125689Yes but they should be using something that has a range more than 120 miles and a 0 to 60 better than 8 seconds.
>>29125679why does this cop car look like a slut
could larger diameter thinner tires work for ATV?
>>29126792>aerodynamic underpowered car with narrow and tall tiresSo you want a kei car.
>>29126780So a Ford T.
>>29126806couple decades fatter but pretty close.just make it stable at 80mph and I'd be happy
>>29126803still want clearance and large diameter floation
>>29126841So a Polaris RZR
>15 year old platform (mqb dates to 2012, new atlas has same wheelbase as before, barely updated)>30 year old engine (technically the EA engines started in 2007 but I don't think the block was substantially different from the 1995-era EA 113 (which, before it, was an engine designed in the 1960s, so precedent for old ass engines is there a la Jaguar) - the only difference I can find is that the EA 288 has half mm less thick cylinder walls but I think really its just a mild revision of the 1995 engineI've driven it, it drives like a 90s engine - rough and crude>cheap black plastic interior with worst quality plastics stolen from Toyota>touchscreen you have to interact with to do basic things a la Tesla>and, 60k for what is effectively a refreshed version of a now 10 year old car. VW is dying, right? They don't have long. They don't sell anything truly new.
>>29119344>not enough buttons and dials>full climate control and defrost on buttons>stereo control wheel>button panel for headlights>lever for wiper and indicator>button panel for windows and mirrors>19 fucking buttons on the steering wheel>not enough buttons and dialsnigga watt, not even my 2002 audi has that many buttons
>>29121562there are no chunky knurled dials to adjust important thingssteering wheels could have 3x the buttons they do nowI should be able to easily adjust the temperature with steering wheel buttons on EVERY CAR. Why should I have to reach over just to get comfy? Nobody who makes cars drives the crap they make.
>>29122552im glad designers dont listen to retards like you
>>29122552We are not the same...
>>29113400Gonna play the devil's advocate and say why using a old platform to update a car is a bad thing if it sells wellRenault kept selling the Clio4-5 at the same underpinnings for over a decade So did Lexus with the is(it's in it's third facelift in nearly 15 years)
Can you drive a manual?
>>29123899>mfw I forgot to switch the range selector to the HI position before upshifting from 5th to 6th gear
>>29125442If you don't hit the selector then you're trying to go from 5th to 1st with no synchros. Grind grind grind grind
>>29125288It's a Wrangler 2-door soft-top. He's got a 6.6 Duramax Silverado but usually drives the Wrangler.They still come in manual standard. His even has roll up windows. '21 or '22. Pentastar 285hp. Only variant of the pentastar in manual and it redlines higher than the Chally Wallys with it.
If a third worlder can drive through the most congested city on the planet without complaining, you can, too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4UbB_jojEY
>>29125237lol why are you on an automotive board if you can't drive a manual rofl are you a pussy who's scared he'll stall on a hill lmaoooo!!
>be me>chud millionaire>buy a tesla roadster cause i love supporting my local oligarch>some peasant crashes into it cause they were looking at their phone>both of the co2 tanks pressurized to 6,000 psi explode>20 people die>1 person a city over injured by shrapnel
>>29123936IIRC the US made sky lanes perpendicular to the highways in the 50s under the rationale these things would happen eventually. Problem is that it doesn't have endurance to actually stay in those lanes and would end up falling on whatever was below.
>>29124968I dunno, you ever drove to the wrong side of the street where there were some obstacles that you could walk through but the car itself needs to move half a mile to get there? Being able to just jump it past that would be great.
>>29124405> You also don't need to crash test a truck full of propane tanks because it's not a passenger vehicle.That would be extremely cool though
>>29123940It was real but no way that was an actual human sized car. The model that flew around and the one on stage were not the same.
>>29123938If it’s flying it’s not on the road.
