Why are all car """enthusiasts""" OBSESSED with speed over every other fucking aspect of a vehicle? And if they really wanna go wild, they care about... looks (but only if its a ultra rare $2mil Ferrari.)?Give me a carfag thats comfort maxxing with custom magnetic suspension. How about someone reliability maxxing by replacing every plastic component with custom machined metal? Why the fuck is every brainlet just "I LIEK GO FAST!"?
Stupid status seeking niggers buy 500hp cars to drive them gently on the road.
>>28868688I'm obsessed with reliability, I do engine and transmission swaps solely with the intent of increasing reliability
>>28868688Because cars are one of the most brainlet, normalfag hobbies there are. This really isn't rocket science.
>>28869373Why?
>>28869440Comfy and luxurious. That's what he was complaining about, luxury cars not being luxurious. He'd want a S-Class or 7 series.
>Southerners new favorite car
>>28869277No it's BobAl is at home getting drunk
>>28869269>Southerners Honestly seems more like something Californians or Mexicans would like.
>>28869284Being a BMW base, thats a (brown) Texan vehicle. "Southerners" would need something a bit cheaper.
if by "Southerners" you mean the southern hemisphere, then yeah

At which speed does your car start shaking?
>>28868601my motors bigger than yours and i think it'll only go 155
>>28866869Mine doesnt shake but it starts to wander across the lane after I hit 80mph because I have shot tie rods and a rear motor mount that I do not feel like fixing
I got my tires at Discount Tire because free rotations and balancingGot my tires rotated and balanced and damn near flung off the highway at 65 mph driving to the airportI thought I had some major steering or suspension problem, went to the mechanicTurned out the kid who did the balancing didn't take off any of the wheel weights, he just kept adding more and more weights to every wheel as he was workingWell, "working"I kind of feel like an idiot for not checking the wheel weights myself but now I know, take that shit off yourself before getting Discount Tire service
>>28866576Idle. 68 Nova with a supercharged 454.
>>28866576It doesn't, even at Vmax on the Autobahn.
When are we, car memers, getting whitewalls and tanwalls back into fashion? People seem to be very receptive to retro these days.
>>28867409>bicycleThis is /o/ bub... What you're looking for is /lgbt/
>>28867409Whitewalls etc. are really fucking expensive compared to blackwalls. You go first.
>>28867409>When are we, car memers, getting whitewalls and tanwalls back into fashion?
>>28867409>The latest bicycle meme is tanwall tiresBicycles can have a wide-variety of colored tires. There are even solid bicycle tires as well as "airless" tires in the 26-inch and 20-inch ranges which will fit ebikes.
Car design peaked with the 1969 Corvette. Why are there no cars that look like this today?
>>28867493who caresit's for fuckin in

>>28867120but the c4 mogs c3 though?

Been spending a dollar extra per gallon to put 91 octane in my '99 I30 like the manual saysIs this accomplishing anything or am I burning money?
>>28867497>98That's RON, we use AKI in 'murica98 RON is 93 AKI
>>28867527I'll take "what is EFI for $500 alex"
Using higher octane gas will only help if you have EGR troubles.
>>28867819>He thinks EFI means he can run 87 in an STi.Go ahead, buddy. Octane is resistance to knock (the killer of engines), more boost, compression, or timing advance require higher octane to not knock.What the fuck would EFI even solve in the equation? I'd love to hear it.
RTFMif the manual say premium required, you must put premium in it if you like having an engine
will the V8 charger get the same stigma as the last gen chally wally hellcat?
depends on whether or not dealers approve financing
WHY THE FUCK ARE THESE RETARD CAR COMPANIES MAKING MORE CARS NIGGA NO ONE IS BUYING ANYTHING ANYMORE >no no we make it more appealing look it's lights are thin like rich chineseTHEY MAKE THEIR OWN FUCKING CARS THE SHITS ALL FUCKED THE TESTICULAR TORSION OF OUR TIMES!

This is what happens every time you roll down your window. Feel bad yet?
>>28869139No. What makes you say that?

Groceries are going to get more expensive because of these fucks and my government is too corrupt/incompetent to do anything about it. I wish electric cars were more affordable.
>>28866286diesel is also 2€, it's so fucking over
>>28866875Immigrant curry diarrhoea
>>28866244Yeah, electricity is going to get a ton cheaper. Right now huge amounts of money is being invested into solar to both handle existing and new demand. Once solar has replaced all fossil fuels, since there's no maintanence and it's extemely reliable the price of electricity will plummet.
>>28868382Even if it wouldn't get cheaper, it's better to own your source of energy instead having to depend on parasites like shell.
>>28868382It unfortunately won't.Solar is built because people get more than market value out of it (paid for by other customers and taxes).As soon as this is dropped, solar works to cover your own demand, but not to power the grid.The problem is, that when your solar panels produce max output, your neighbor's do as well, so the actual value of the energy produced is low.Right at the moment the spot price is at 0,5ct/kWh, while solarfags get 6ct/kWh.

>>28866958Except the E36 has superior suspension compared to the E30, dummy
>>28866427Nice blogpost, dogfucker.
>>28865999I always missed you. From the first moment I saw a bangle-butt 7-series, I knew that you would soon be taken from me.
>>28865999Sometimes, then I remember it had 80hp less and an open diff compared to the car that replaced it.
Now, I don't mean to sound like a pussy, but how important are airbags?This thing does come with a roll cage and there's some side protection, but it completely lacks any airbags. If I were to crash at spirited speeds how fucked would I be?
>>28866055>If you want to speed then do it on a motorcycle so you only kill yourself and not any innocent bystander.This is such bs. Bike accidents can easily crash other cars or kill pedestrians. Get the fuck outta here, bikefag.
>>28866017if you're driving a tvr i think you've already made your choices.
>>28866187back when the british were british.
>>28866017you know how some cars say 'SRS air bag' on some parts of the trim? SRS is safety restraint system, emphasis on system - all components are designed to work in conjunction with each other. that's why you get fuckwits that either maim or kill themselves in low speed collisions because they were too stupid to use their seat belt so they smacked right into the air bag as it was deploying.if the car had a roll cage and belts but no air bags it's more than likely designed with that in mind so you'll be fine.3 point belts already make a huge difference from lap belts. But then seat belts with airbags is just a few percent difference in survival rate which depending on whom you ask, every bit counts, or it's not worth it
>>28866017The airbag stops you from crashing into the steering wheel. If you've got a proper harness you don't need one. But if you're using a regular seatbelt, it's something you definitely want to have.
For any young anons here, what always happens when oil prices spike is that gas guzzlers drop a ton in price. Same thing with sports cars during recessions. We're not entering a situation where both scenarios are true, so gas guzzling sports cars will become dirt cheap.However, when you do the math, typically the price difference between a v8 sports car vs a more fuel efficient vehicle doesn't justify spending more on the shitbox or getting rid of your sports car (if you already own one). >tldr; as long as you aren't driving a lot every day for work, fast sports cars are about to get really cheap, buy them when they drop.
>>28867388>what always happens when oil prices spike is that gas guzzlers drop a ton in price.>Same thing with sports cars during recessions.No they fucking do not. Yes, some people lose their job, then a couple months later try to sell their [still] financed toys for sticker price, it sits there for 4 months, then when they're on the edge of bankruptcy take a few thousand off. People who have to sell their sports cars, gas guzzlers, and weekend toys when theres a recession have NEVER maintained the vehicle and refuse to think they can take a loss on it because if they do they're underwater on it. The only people selling their 8mpg suburbans because they can't afford the extra $1 in gasoline prices are also the people buying a new $60,000 vehicle that gets 12mpg. Its a myth; people sell their expensive toys LAST and theres enough nerds out there willing ot pay top dollar for it because they prepared for a recession and aren't affected by it. Prices won't drop.
>>28867388They're not going to get cheap unless gasoline hits $5+ a gallon and people start panic selling and buying hybrids/PHEVs/EVs. This Iran thing has raises prices some but its a far cry from a 2008 tier crisis. $4 a gallon then is equal to $6.04 a gallon now.I want you think about how bad that would be for the average joe, $6 a gallon with diesel at $7+ a gallon. Yeah people would panic sell, but we are so far from that point right now.
>>28867398This is a great post. Switching up from your V8 Suburban to a 120k mile shitbox isn't something that'll happen, but even if you did saving $1000-2000 per year ($3.50/gal gas now) won't help you if you simply couldn't afford your gas guzzler. You're broke and stupid for buying that car in the first place.
>>28867886Just bought a 560sec. It's bretty nice. Under $10k too, which is fairly uncommon. Got the AC working, now time to address whatever vacuum leak is plaguing the car. Your trunk will probably leak. Brake light seals.Also there will probably be rust under the rear windshield rubber, check there
>>28867398Insurance on older guzzling hoon cars isn't too bad either, may be savings there.I've got 4 cars insured with 100k/300k coverage for like $380 a month.People that buy new cars to save money on gas are hilariously retarded
