Drivers in Texas turn to alternative car repairs as costs risehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-Q6e2K6Zv0Has anyone on /o/ went there?
This is why BEVs are superior. They need less maintanence and last way longer. And we're just getting started with BEVs, back in 70s and 80s gas cars, despite being the main form of car for 60+ years, only had 5 digit odometers because they would be scrapped for a new one before they reached 100,000. Now we're seeing Teslas go over half a million miles from cars that were made when the brand was less than 10 years old.Anti-BEV people just want you to be a slave to the mechanic jew. Not to mention the literal jew (Israel).
>>29145694I think they mean labor and not parts.
>>29145758I appreciate this post even if nobody else has
>>29145609I don’t live in Texas but even if I did I wouldn’t go to them for repairs, I do my own car maintenance and unless I can’t do it due to needing a specialty tool I’ll just go to a local mechanic shop that I trust.
>>29146132Thank you fren.
just changed the oil on my two cars, Mobil 1 goyl and filters, Wix air and cabin filters, super tech washer fluid top up, OEM coolant top offlife is good
Don't forget to register this in your car's maintenance log.
>Acceptance of automatic transmissions in the United States occurred rapidly in the postwar years--the first year in which automatics were the majority of new cars sold was 1955. Since then, the peak year for manual transmission sales in the US was 1987, when 37% of cars and light trucks were equipped with them.[3]

>>29145862Still needs that 4 speed plus a clutch.
>>29143194>In America, good luck finding shops willing to work on manuals anymore.Fix at home. Simple.
>>29146167NTA but shops are very willing to replace a clutch, especially on an RWD where it's super-easy. If anything, they're excited about it.Shops don't touch automatics, they send yours out to be rebuilt and sell you another rebuilt one.

>>29140159Likely a conversion van or even a basic work van with living necessities.
>>29143717That's a Twingo? My old Mazda Metro used to do the same trick. I used to drive around with them like this, keeping weight low.
>>29140159funny because I had to use my actual bedroom for storage recently and since I have a camper van just like this one in my barn I've been using it as my bedroom because it's really comfy
>>29140159can i kill myself instead?
>>29140159How about a 2004 Toyota Camry. I've been in it since 28 January. 14 weeks and it will be a year. Got a million bucks? Didn't think so faggot

Do Twingos count as egg? Because I like those.

how do you prevent this from happening
>>29145295the OP image is actually a nice visual metaphor for how the mechanic facefucks you through your german engineered car.

>>29145431wtf
The DEF light stays on, and the second light keeps flashing. It’s a Vermeer D23x30III machine with 513 hours on it. Does anyone know how to fix this? Please help.
>>29144260Check DEF level. Add if needed?Refer to owners manual for meaning of flashing idiot lights?Trade in for a John Deere and call the dealership to come out and fix?
>>29144260Flashing "second" light is the DPF requesting a parked regen. The DEF being constantly on may have to do with the emissions bullshit needing a regen, and wanting you to top off the DEF.
Me sad

The VB WRX is the best new performance car bargain on sale right now. You can consistently find these for under retail, and they are handing out low interest rate finance deals like candy on Halloween. Why don't you have a base model WRX yet?

>>29136680Dumbest post in the thread award.
>>29139691>>29139702>>29139946Exactly. These visualizations really should not be needed but there you go.
>>29139946>>29139702>>29139691Thats not even a real car you retarded nigger thirdie. There is literally nothing wrong with parking close to another vehicle. Maybe cars look like that in Bangalore but not here where we're White.
>>29144550holy fucking faggot everyone knows these are fictional cars smartass
>>29136680>I park that close to the kerb all the timeYour tire doesn't hit. Put the rear corner of your car swings out and over the kerb.
Should I avoid buying a used car if there's a chance the previous owner was an uber/lyft/ etc driver?I keep seeing cars that are 1-2 years old that have very high mileage, usually low end cars like Civics and Corollas. One car was a year old and driven over 30k miles and already back for sale
>>29144017>The lower trims like 530 is also far more dailyableI'd definitely fuck with an E39 525i 2.8L with the 5 speed manual and rack and pinion

I had a lot of sex in my shit boxes in my 20sBut in my 30s women stop wanting to fuck in the car, I had to fuck this woman on the hood of my car but the hood was hot and it burned her assSeriously why don't women like fucking in cars anymore? This needs to be studied /o/

I'm a 21 y/o khhv, but I'd never soil my linen Nappa leather seats with the disgusting bodily fluids of a woman.

This is a long shot, but maybe an experienced mechanic or somebody can help me. I have a 2015 Hyundai Sonata and there's an issue where the car has white smoke coming out of the exhaust randomly at times. My dealer doesn't know whats wrong and I took it to a mechanic and he said the gasket head is not broken. He believes the piston rings are seizing onto the cylinder pistons and that in turn is causing the oil to go over the pistons and burn the oil. Is there anyway to fix a car like this aside from getting a new engine? Is it possible to fix the piston rings from seizing onto the pistons? any help is highly appreciated from a knowledgeable mechanic. My dealer won't help me and the engine is only 2 years old. its a 2.4L GDI Theta engine
thats normal for korean cars , but 2 years is a good run for a korean engine at least.
>>29144457Nah. White smoke is coolant.
Are you losing coolant op? Or using oil? That would be the biggest giveaway. Usually oil will burn with a grayish bluish color of smoke and coolant is white. Brake fluid is also white.
>>29144409>I have a 2015 Hyundai SonataOver five years.Does it have less than 10 miles on it or something?
>>29144409Korean cars are such hot garbage holy shit. They've always sucked- even though their interiors and exteriors are decent.>Is there anyway to fix a car like this aside from getting a new engine? Have to determine the real cause of the white smoke. Piston rings being clogged? Engine valve seals leaking and need replaced? Some air line sucking in power steering fluid/oil/coolant? Headgasket problem? Valve cover gasket seals? If its something small, maybe an experienced mechanic can fix it. But you said you got it from the dealer, so make Hyundai fix it. Talk to your lawyer about legal moves and bring it to corporate. Like >>29144411 said, bring it to corporate or the dealer and have them replace it- because that's what they do.
>want new(used) car>have enough money saved for a new(used) car>get tired of marketplace/craigslist/kijiji boomers>whatevs i have like 25k i can drop straight cash>i'll just go to a dealership>ask "whats the cheapest shittiest car u got, i can pay it straight cash in two business days once i know the exact price so i can take it out of my investments">cheapest option they'll give me is a minimum 96 month term 21% APR financing for a 22,500$ 2008 Nissan Qashqai
>>29145240Don't you have places that sell used cars in America? Also, a Nissan dealership my niqqa?
>>29145240Dealerships make a lot of profit from finance interest so don't expect them to get on their knees and suck your dick just because you got cash. You also need to shop around more. goytrader has over 300k post 2020 vehicles for under $25k. I think you can do better than a $23k 2008 Shannequa mobile.
>>29145240Why are you paying for cars straight cash? Are you a drug dealer?
Suspiciously wealthy furries.....
>>29145240Say that you'd like to finance the qashqai with 100% initial payment for the price they offered and not a cent more, and if they don't find your business palatable, you will walk out right there and then, loudly announce your exit so that it reverbs through the dealership, and leave a complaint on both the salesman assigned to you and on the dealership in general. They legally can not do anything against that.
