I went 90 mph today Right into traffic. Was mad I had to break. Started to question my decisionFelt a little fear. Turned left at the lightWent and got tamales and rollled tacosI’m whiteReal white not the Jew kind. Am I getting too old ?Would have pushed it to 140 if the road was clear. Would have pushed it to 100 if I wasn’t such a pussy. Sad night. Good food though.

>>28911572ts ain't tuff lil bro
I can't tell what OP is trying to convey. He drove 90 and feels like his increasing existential fear as he ages prevented him from going faster? Is that it? If so, I totally relate>>28912044Hard pick between #9 and #16.
I’m in my 40s. I think 80mph is too fast now. There’s just no point. Once you drive a lambo where 160 feels like 70mph, you just don’t yearn for speed anymore. My vehicles are about comfort and quiet. The soundproofing. The sealing. The tires. When I go somewhere it’s a pleasure not a race. The little desire to speed that’s left is quickly satisfied
>>28911805I had a taquito phase a few months back and now I hate them.
Europeans are not "blocking" US supersized pick up trucks, they are for sale here. We do not buy them because of three reasons.1 - They are poorly made2 - They are unreliable3 - They are stupid>https://www.ft.com/content/3eb796fd-bcdb-4a9f-89b7-f7d5e692a3cd?syn-25a6b1a6=1

>>28913089This.There are only a few use cases.Maybe if someone operates a hut up in the mountains where he needs both carrying capacity and basic off-road capabilities.If he only needs the former, a van is the better choice, if only the latter a 4x4 SUV is better.There are even a few fiscal advantages of having a truck or van instead of a SUV or car as a commercial vehicle here, but still only few people chose a pickup.
>>28912488Thanks for demonstrating that you cant read.
>>28912264What kind of next gen delusion is this? The american revolution was one elite taking over from another. It didnt make you richer, wealth inequality is worse in the US, not better.You aren't even rich.
>>28912919I didn't even know these were a thing. How accurate/reliable are they?
>>28912919i just used this to tighten my oil pan drain plug. seems fine to me
>>28913068Close enough is close enough...
>>28913414very. watch the project farm vid on them. although idk why you wouldnt just use a torque wrench.

>>28913063RS6 has the proper quattro with a 40-60 bias that can go up to 70% to the front and 85% to the rear
>be involved in a crash>automatic door unlock fails >get burned aliveMany such cases!
>>28912326>EVs the door doesn't open>>28912738ICE cars have 12v lead batteries for airbag and door locksEVs have 12v lead batteries for airbag and door locksNu EVs have electric door latchesNu ICE cars have electric door latches
>>28913206It's not the electric drive, but the electric door locks that are a problem.Especially as their only advantage is to look "cool" and be a tiny bit more aerodynamic (though you could at least have direct, mechanic inner door latches, then).
>>28913220thats not a feature exclusive to electric cars. lots of new designs from 2025 onwards have them.>but the electric door locks that are a problem.i got to be honest, i have never seen a non chink car video straight from mainland where this is a problem.Audi put them on 3 new makes (all ice btw) last year and they get highest ratings in independent crash tests, bmw is following this year. its all chink shit and fud from you agenda niggers based on chink shit unfit to be sold in our markets
>>28913237I just don't like introducing new useless actuators in cars that serve no real purpose - especially in safety-related functions.I know it's not an EV problem, but a nucar problem.The same bullshit, though with fewer safety implications are rear cameras sviveling out when the car is in reverse.
>>28911582I literally have to be warned as a first responder that if I breathe lithium fire fumes my career is over at the least and I'll die a horrible lung burning death at worst. These things are fucking dangerous. Our worst fear is an EV crash and we have a whole book of special precautions when we have to go to one. Might as well make nuclear powered cars ffs.
How's the Mazda3 fare against the Civic/Corolla? Wanting to buy a reliable car, maybe used, and Honda/Toyota is generally more expensive in that market. Also I think they look better. I've heard good things about them but my mechanic friend told me today that they are shit.
>>28913179In highway driving Mazda 3 is like 6.0 liters per 100 km and Corolla Hybrid is like 5.1.
>>28911525>Also I think they look better. You have shit taste.
>>28913276You sound like a sour grapes goyotard stuck with his disjointed gook tier ai design
>>28913259Yeah and in city it's a bigger gap. I'm getting 5.6L / 100km in my maverick awd.It's a pretty big difference when gas is expensive
>>28911525It's a piece of shit, just did a mini review of mine in another thread:>>28913627Mazda is an absolute no-go brand for me now. Sadly had to spend over 20k on this mistake.
It's the future. It's all you could want. Think about it the next time you are at the gas station.
>>28913529You people have issues lol. A pickup truck makes much more sense as a daily than a EV if you're looking at practicality. The EV is the one trick pony.
>>28913241Dumb mutt kys
>>28913550>A pickup truck makes much more sense as a daily than a EV if you're looking at practicality.Was that really what you thought the point was?

>>28912996I went through serotonin syndrome. I don't remember anything but my dad took videos of me and holy shit I looked like I was nuts. The hospital put me in a coma for a week to figure out what was wrong with me. They thought I had a stroke
>>28912848Asian waifu commits genocide on her own race.
>>28912954I don't think it's just driving. A lot of women just get frazzled easily and have some kind of mind fog on shit we take for granted.
>>28913117and in that state I bet you can still drive better than most women
>>28912848>she swerved into the motorcycleComedy gold.
Im looking at 2011-2017 volvo v602014-2017 passat and 2014-2017 mazda 6.Which is best for relaxed driving and reliability
>>28911985>I cant go diesel cause the taxes are like 120 euros a month or somethingJust nonsense.You'll save at least that amount via the greater fuel economy.In the end, a wash, so go with the more fun to drive and durable powertrain.
>>28911988Aren those 1.2 liter engines? How reliable are those compared to a 1.4 passat
>>28911995Ok, I hear ya but at least do the Math.You may be surprised depending on how much you drive per month.The fuel savings by virtue of the more economical nature of the diesel may completely offset the monthly surcharge..i dunno, but you can figure it out
>>28911943Passat for driving, Volvo for reliability. Never owned a Mazda though.
The volvo has the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in. Someday, when my 2012 S60 heads to the junker, I will remove and repurpose the seats.
Any van bros have van experience to share?Want to get one, but I don't know anyone who's had one. They just seem exciting to customize.
>>28908248I sometimes miss my E-150 cargo van. Two seats, a cavernous interior, and nothing else. If I hadn't found exactly the right pick-up I might have tried to find another van.
>>28908248van dude here, you can still find them from time to time on govdeals. good luck.
I hope rebuilding a TBI isn't hard, my van is leaking gas into the oil and I don't think it's the injectors
>>28912762Remove them and have em tested anyways
>>28913454who even tests injectors anymore, everything just gets replaced at any sign of trouble nowadays
Do a lot of places in America have people with cars with modified exhausts to make their car as loud as possible, or do I just live in an area with an exceptional amount of low class, faggy people?
>>28912459on the street you can pick up when a car is an auto or manual based on the length of gear changes. very quick, almost instant (and consistently so) will be an auto, whereas with manuals there's usually a moment while the engine "hangs" (not talking about actual rev hang either) until the driver lets the clutch out
>>28911989>modified exhausts to make their car as loud as possibleI thought my race car was loud, but it's not to bad cruising on the freeway.Someone I know sent me a video when he spotted me on i5. sound is noticable but not anything loud.I don't understand crack pop tunes though.Doesn't sound good.

>>28910856Rolling your windows down is basically going to be just as taxing on efficiency. So might as well use AC.
>>28912917>In the '00s car AC systems switched to electronically controlled variable displacement compressors instead of acting like an on/off switch that drew the full level of load from the engine any time the compressor kicked in so you'd notice the added load more easily on older AC systems.Looks like my butt dyno is properly calibrated, because my 2004 piece of shit really doesn't lose much speed with the A/C clicks on at minimum fan, but when it's max fan speed and you're accelerating, you get a crazy torque dip, it practically stops accelerating like you hit reverse vtec.
>>28913403>2004pretty sure most manufacturers had figured out how to disengage the clutch during heavy engine loads by that time
>>28910851in my bigass chevy van with one working window, I crawl uphill doing 40mph and I do it in chilled comfort
>>28913431My car didn't get the memo because it's the slowest fucking thing ever when I'm blasting to cool persnickety passengers on a hot day, A/C works comfortable though but the car efficiently only goes 45 mph, it's insane.
>just go for a nice therapeutic drive bro>you have to respect the drive bro>me? sometimes I go for a lone drive for a couple of hours, really clears the mind>nothing is better for the soul than a nice relaxing DRIVE>driving at night is how I relax
>>28912779I think it happens in many urban areas everywhere. City councils seem to be like little mafias, and there's always some scammy shit or fuckup with the workers who can stay on top of said things. You'll also notice that some of the worst areas are on the borders of some other district, so it may in dispute on who can even help.
>>28912800i love cars, just hate larpers
>>28913106America was the real shithole all along.
>>28912778What are you some kind of fukn pussy?
>>28913318California is. They don't even seem to give a shit about the wealthier areas anymore either. Potholes around old Hollywood locations and neighborhoods now.But like I said above, cities are run by little mafias. I would guess that one is one of the worst.
