>>28609223>thoughts on getting into trucking in current year?I’m one of the new drivers that into trucking earlier this year. I don’t think I’m experienced enough to give a proper answer to this question as anything shitty happening me can easily be explained by me just being a new truck driver still learning the ropes.

>>28609657Well except for the cheaper C8 that doesn't sound like a minivan.
What do you think of this?
>>28599968For me it's one of those cases where it looks way better in person than in pictures. Press pics didn't do anything for me but I started liking them once I saw them up close.
>>28609990t. Park
Seems like a good commuter for someone who doesn't care about cars. Not everyone is an enthusiast
>>28610019>Not everyone is an enthusiastThat's true, but everyone can appreciate a legitimately interesting looking car. Thats where this car excels over its competition, the styling alone.
>>28601932Underrated. Nevertheless, I bet you could get something this aerodynamic to 140mph with a mere 90hp, given a minute.
This confuses and enrages the eurofag.

>>28609416You've clearly never dealt with bureaucracy and bureaucrats. The regulation says (High-clearance) 4x4 while the manufacturers identification for that vehicle was AWD, which is not the required 4x4 designation, so therefore the vehicle did not meet the requirements for that road. No braining allowed in government.Even without the 4x4 "violation" they would probably come back at him with the high-clearance requirement but didn't bother this time since they had the 4x4 issue and high-clearance isn't defined afaik which will mean an argument and who would want that?
>>28609656The gov is mad because Karen will take her AWD into terrible conditions and then the Fed has to pay six figs to haul them and the bad vehicle out of there.
anyone else hate power steering? i didnt realise my last car (1989 mx5) didnt have it assumed it did because i always heard no power steering was really heavy. when i was test driving newer cars they all felt light and floaty and awful to drive ended up getting a 1994 ford fiesta with no pwoer steering it feels so much nicer to drive but my mum drove it and said it feels really heavy i had no idea its a heavy feeling it feels right to me
>>28609881yeahthere should be a button to disable PS or at least decrease its power on every carI often switch between no-PS and PS equipped shitboxes and every time I have to use the other one it feels like it doesn't want to hold direction and it takes me few km to adjust
>>2860988189 mx-5 do have power steering it's just so light it doesn't matter. Mine didnt work and it was no problem. then my mech noticed it just had the wrong size belt on it and fixed it for free. Shit was far too light after so I took it off.>>28609981they do, OPs is just broken and he doesn't know.
>>28609965>Peugeot 205Try driving a good car.
>>28610009>89 mx-5 do have power steering it's just so light it doesn't matter.not all of them it was an option
>>28609881Modern cars have "sporty" quick-ratio steering that would otherwise be too heavy to DD without power steering. Heavier FF cars are the worst. Try dailying a 7th gen Accord with PS deleted, you'll get huge shoulders in a month tops. Its got short steering that's heavy even with PS.
>>28610068>Why did car X fail?>Is it because it had feature Y that I hate?>Is it because it lacked feature Z that I like?(X did not in fact sell poorly, in fact it had record sales numbers)

>replacing displacementcringe>adding power for kicksbased
>I doraibu editionSteering is very noisy, creaking like old floorboards. Doesn't do it all the time though. When it is doing it it makes noise whenever I turn the wheel, including when stationary, but also tends to make noise when driving straightBeen doing this for probably over a year now so I guess nothings about to blow up but it is a bit disconcerting. Anyone know what the cause might be?
>>28609821More robust, one feels more like a pro product vs the other feels kinda like a sketchy toy that might break (but probably won't)The more asspainsive one can likely also go lower and higherYou gotta peep da specs to see if it's low enough to get under your car, and high enough to allow you room to werkt. I bought a $60 walmart jack and it's been working fine for years on many cars
>>28609821The one on the left is a low profile jack, meaning the jack itself isn't nearly as tall as the one on the right. Some cars are low enough to the ground that you may not be able to get the right one under them, and thelo profile jack is also a lot easier to use with the longer handle.
>>28609197Lifetime lubricated tie rods/ball joints are at the end of their lifetime and are dry now so they squeak/creak. You hear it more from tie rods but both can do it. Somebody's gonna have to do an inspection under there and see what all needs done.>>28609247>So "2v" was only used to describe mustangs after 4v/3v ones came out, got itNot necessarily. You don't see it much after the Seventies but Ford used 2V/4V to describe the carburetor type and therefore engine power. The V stood for Venturi so a 2V was a 2-barrel and the 4V was a 4-barrel. (Yes, there were 6 and 8V's too even further back) So it would be more proper to think that the 2V/4V designation refers to valves on EFI vehicles instead of the blanket "mustangs".
>>28609821In addition to what the other anons said the perspective on the pictures is misleading, the one on the left is quite a bit larger and heavier than the one on the right.
>>28609821I have the 2.5T version of the aluminum one. it's not low enough to get under my wrx and reach the central front jack point. I end up having to drive up on ramps anyway before using the jack. also, lowering the jack is rarely smooth and predictable. I have to turn the handle with the utmost care, and even then it can be jerky coming down.
What dash cams are you running in your vehicles? And are there any dash cams that will allow you to put the recorder part somewhere else instead of have it built into the camera? I live in a high crime area and don't want people to just smash and grab the whole unit. What do you guys use on your cars?
Wiring a dashcam seems like it'd be a bitch. No I don't wrench because I don't want to risk fucking things up on my only car.

Wolfbox G900.You need to get used to it though
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
>>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.
>>28604849This is the one that gets me. It's like people are afraid to turn their wheel too much.
>complaining about wide turns>not complaining that normies don’t know how to accelerate through a turn/o/ is truly a miserable place

Bench seats are based. If I was elected president my first action would be to mandate bench seats in all cars. >>28609361Back when bench seats used to be a thing people weren't the same size as they are nowadays. Also a good bench seat is just as comfy in the middle as it is on the sides.
>>28608800Honestly benches are overrated. A properly shaped seat is far more comfortable
>we both shoot ropes all over my seat
>>28608818She thought it was her beaver. A common mistake in these parts of town.
Someone will eventually buy your car that has bodily fluids infused into the seats and scoff at people who buy new cars
Sup /o//g/eek here, hope this is the right board. Work just moved our team from fulltime WFH with 1 day in the office and going to need a car. I don't have a ton of money and not on the bus path to work and my climate (north midwest) is not kind in winter to bike. I don't really go out much and just need a A->B kind of vechile, would getting a "runs and drives" car from an auto auction be worth it. I don't care about a little cosmetic damage and wear and tear inside. A few friends I had did this but they were more into cars than I am. Looking at it I can get some good deals for 3k and if it lasts just 1-2 years I'd consider it worth it. I understand everything sold is "as is" and if shit happens it's on me.Anyone have experience with them? Willing to throw in a few hundred bucks for a tune up.
I got mine at auction, through a broker because you need some license to buy from the real auctions.The auction place rated it a 4.8/5.It came to me with a cracked steering knuckle, dying clutch, and blown differential. It had 110k miles and was on the original timing belt that was down to threads. I'm still driving it 5 years later no issues since, but $500 for repairs seems optimistic. There was also undisclosed damage inside and out (dents, possible unreported front end accident) but I just live with it.It's a crapshoot. I've also gotten one from auction with 5k miles that was *perfect* but almost half the price of new, probably dealer show car or repo.
>>28608190$500 is really not a whole lot unless you're doing the repairs yourself, and even then it's not a lot unless you're gonna scavenge parts from a junkyard. You should really consider a lease, especially if you only need it for a couple years and are ready to write off the car the second you're done with it, if you get unlucky with the auction car it can easily eat up more than what you'd have paid for a lease just to keep it on the road, also the general unreliability of an old poorly maintained car might not be ideal if your job depends on it.
>>28608217>>28609413My friend is a mechanic, he said as long as I buy the parts he'll fix it no labor. I handle the PC shit for him and friends. My state has no required inspections just registered and insurance. Biggest issue with the use car market up here is the underbelly of the cars are salted and rusted through.>>28609317Yeah I get it's a crapshoot, my state North Dakota is full box roads and flat. This is really to simply go from A->B once a week, grab groceries after work, and maybe some other life needs. My plan is to save up around 35-55k in 3 years, doable with my rent and income, before moving to somewhere else to restart and leave this twisted frozen hell hole. I assume whatever I buy will have no real resell value anyways, but 3 years to keep my job. Inb4 someone says just uber, it's very spotty in the mornings during winter months. I've seen ubers as high as 85 dollars in the morning during wintery conditions.Thanks for the insight all.
>>28608891Few friends I knew who did this in arizona said to go look for BMW's since most are repos with unreported cosmetic damage, but my gut tells me to go for honda's and toyota's.
>>28608906I'm more aligned to buy something like this. Some cosmetic damage, older car, but 1500 for what would be used as essentially a ~20 miles once a week. Seems ideal for me, I'd have more to dump(literally) into the car if needed, but again it can get to -40F here in winter and an e-bike is not an option. Walking the 10 minutes form the closest bus stop (and waiting near it for any delays) is horrible for obvious health reasons.Picrel is what I am looking at, again I understand fully it could die on me but at least the excuse of "Well my car died" is better to my boss than "I don't own a car". I just became debt free this year so outside of my 1 year emergency living fund I don't have much in the way of cash to blow on hand, about 4000 total. If a pile of shit like this can last a year I'd still come out ahead compared to ubering costs.

>>28607144My sister got a 2014 Ford explorer back when it was 3 years old. I knew about the water pump and was waiting forever for it to just explode and cost a bunch of money, but she's well over 200k now and the only thing it's needed is a cv axle and a shit load of batteries. For a piece of shit ford its doing great in my book
>>28608753It can happen or it wont. If there are alot of reports happening then your chances of it happening are higher but not 100%. doesnt change the fact that newer cars are designed to break.
