So, which winter tyres do you guys have? Or are all seasons the new meta?
I'm predicting an extremely mild winter
>>29087907They're saying wet but warm in my area. It's unclear whether that'll mean warm enough that it rains instead of snows though, or what elevation rain will turn to snow. Probably gonna be ice hell that makes me wish I'd gotten studs.
I used to run winter and summer tires, but then I got the pilot sport 4 all seasons and they are hilariously better in snow than Nexen Winguard 2 tires, and who the fuck is buying the actual nice winter tires unless they live in alberta or some shit. I'll just stick with all seasons from now on.
>>29087834>The AT4 is a terrible winter tirehow would you know?
>>29088135Tire reviews, personal experiences, etc. You can also tell by just looking at it that it wouldn't be good in the winter. Look at it's lack of siping. That's why it's lethal on ice.
Okay, what's your way of negotiating car deals?I usually send an email to multiple dealerships asking for a price. When a dealership replies, I send another email saying how much of a discount I want. Most of them would never reply back but the few who did would offer me a slightly better price but never my price. Then I pick one and go with it because I don't want to lose those few. And you know what? I feel sad about it afterward.Is there a better way for someone who is socially awkward?
>>29088064Is there anything in picrel you'd actually buy? That just looks like a load of scrap metal to me.
>>29088066black E30 coupe
>>29088066Yes. Land.
>>29088064>offer them a price that I'd doHow do you decide what price you'd do?
>>29088134I look at my bank account and offer 80% of my savings as a down payment. Then I demand to pay below MSRP and finance the rest at a 18% interest rate over 72 months

Are any old /osg/ fags still around?I was curious how you clean around the stickers. Even if I go slowly over with a microfiber it still catches all the edges of the vinyl design.I managed to clean the actual vinyls by using Qtips but I could do all the edges of vinyls like this. But I will miss something and it will take ages.

Why does this make you boomers so mad? The screens are better. You can watch YouTube and play movies. You can basically do anything in your car now. You guys need to accept the future and stop being a bunch of boomers missing outdated crap like manual transmissions
>>29085498the simpler the car the better for me, needs less maintenance and I keep cars for a long time so it matters
>>29085498for $450 you could buy an iPad and watch youtube or movies in any car you want. or even outside of a car.
>>29085498In the future cars will have no screens and all that shit will look really ugly like an old android tablet. Instead they will have a dock for your personal device. Just like those shitty amazon/wish.com things you buy for a shitbox with no screens today to hold your phone only nicely integrated into the dash. Unfortunately your existing phone will not work because the connection will be via the new wireless USB-D. Which is actually an infrared serial connection like it's 1998.Thank you for reading.

Be honest, what are the advantages/disadvantages of driving a manual sports car?
>>29087830But the computer won't comply only when the gear you've chosen is retarded
>>29087179advantages>fun>cheaper and "easier" to rebuild. an older automatic isn't that bad to rebuild.>MPG and less drivetrain loss>it's just cooler. sometimes they can make badass sounds like a straight cut gearbox or the Muncie Rock Crusher>The older manuals are faster than the older autos (I think?)Disadvantages>expensive to swap to depending on make and model>shift linkage is annoying to source if you have to piece meal it>measuring runout and having to do the math for offset bellhousing dowels seems like a pain in the buns>traffic>>29087213Comment too long.

>>29087179pumped up 4&6 bangers might not be bad but once you get into the fun V8 territory the torque is gonna eat clutches for lunch and dinner unless you drive like a grandma everywhere and if you're the guy that drives a sports car like a grandma everywhere to save wear on parts you really shoulda just bought a camry or some shit
>>29087830Ok, show me how you put yours in 1st at 100mph
Manuals in general are better. I don't trust automatics. Never know when the thing is going to implode and require a $5000 rebuild. If the previous owner didn't do fluid changes, it's a gamble. Changing the fluid on a manual box is as simple as changing engine oil
>left lane camping trugger gets taught a lesson remember: slower traffic keep right
>>29088037>People who do the speed limit in the left most lane deserve to die.Why, little bitch has no top end power to overtake?
Imagine making way for some fat impatient NPC in a 4,000lb 4cylinder. Changing an entire lane, firing up the turn signal, and taking on all the liability associated with this maneuver all so some entitled poorfag can do a ricer flyby up to the next light kek. Like where do you get this idea?

Summer is officially over. Did you get out on the trails? ITT we discuss our 4x4 trucks, recovery methods, and maintenance/repairs. No fat chicks! Previous thread: >>28990334

thoughts on Land Rovers?
>>29088102They rove the land
what about EV motorcycles tho
>>29088021I'm confident that isn't true. Not prectically, anyway. Yes you could do it with a substantial battery bank and solar panels, but not frequently or fast. E bikes are on a completely different level than electric motorcycles power demand wise
>>29088030it's really not. they have like 80hp and even if you want to cope and seethe that they arent as powerful as a ninja 1100, they have no parts commonality with bicycles, they do not have pedals, they use an entirely different seating position, etc
>>29073926Sounds like NiMH. Too bad Texaco fucked that up, though I understand their limits only apply to cars, some 2000s EV motorcycles had NiMH, but the fact they haven't been produced or researched for EV grade uses bodes poorly for price and availability.
>the only thing amerimutts and bonglanders can agree on is that this is just a bicycle
>>29088106>80hpWut? The ultra bee only reports to have 32. They also have very small batteries
How much are you paying for gas in your country?
2.10 aud a litre which equals 7.95 a gallon which is 5.7 freedom dollars a gallon
>>29087154About a dollar per liter, considering the average monthly salary is about 300 dollars, I'm paying a fuckton. Also, we have, IN THEORY, 32% ethanol mixed in, but since every gas station is owned by the cartel or any other kind of organized crime, we have closer to 50% in reality.
>>29087526You don’t save on fuel driving miles and miles to get fuel that’s cheaper. And when you’re already paying too much for fuel, additional price hikes hurt more. If we compare California to Minnesota, the average Californian drives 50% more to go about their every day lives, and pays an extra 40¢ per gallon in fuel taxes, but the price difference between California and Minnesota doesn’t reflect just the difference between the 32.7¢ Minnesota gasoline tax and the 72.4¢ California gasoline tax, it reflects the fact that Minnesota refines more gas that it consumes and it reflects the difference in transport costs and operating costs for each step in the supply chain that takes market rate crude and turns it into gasoline you can buy at the pump.Considering that the median Californian household pays 20% more for housing 30% more for entertainment, and 10% more for food, the fact that median income is only 11% higher in California that Minnesota means that fuel going from $5 to $7 hurts a Californian more than fuel going from $3 to $5 hurts a Minnesotan, especially since they use 50% more of it on average.
USD $3.85 / US Gallon of 89 octane (AKI - US standard).25 miles or 1.5 tall boys of steel reserve? Doesn't seem too bad.

whats the coolest looking engine?
i like red top barra, straight sixes all look cool though
>>29080255can i swap this into a miata?
>>29080647Well, most high perfomance engines if possible aim between 4th or 2nd wave harmonic. The pulse strength/supercharging effect with 2nd wave harmonic tuning is around 10%, which scales with other forms of perfomance tuning. 1st wave harmonic tuning however is between 15% and 20%. The catch is the insane intake/exhaust runner lengths required and the pulse waves which are balanced via it only deliver increased perfomance at a certain rev range, so you sacrifice engine bay space and perfomance on a broad rev range in return for increased perfomance at peak revs. This is not considering the target peak rev though, high peak rev ranges require far shorter intake/exhaust runners so they are more practical to pull off (this is part of the reason why some track built ITB engines have short velocity stacks), but low peak rpm ranges which often get the most benefit from wave tuning require far longer runners which is why such insane lengths are needed.Pic rel is a "Long-Ram" big block V8, it's tuned to 3rd wave harmonic.

How unreliable is CVT actually? Did it get its horrible reputation from when it was a new, immature tech? or is it still shit?
>>29086899"no REAL Scotsman"
>>29086218toyta cvts will outlast the rest of the vehicle. they are 100% gear driven.
>>29086264Hydrostat transmissions are BASED.Mainly because Mexicans can't break them..t family owns a lot of dairy farms.

Gas users: Drive less or be penalized.EV users: You're cool. Enjoy your freedom.
what if there were well understood concepts that every manufacturer could employ using mature technology that would allow vehicles to use less fuel?
>>29085385Didn't that thing run on some pretty awful tires? Super narrow and hard
>>29085340You, are teh faggot.
>>29087909it is an extreme example taken to the furthest edge, but the overall concepts are the broader point. they aren't new, they're well understood, they don't actually require exotic materials or moonshot tech.you don't need to get ~300mpg or whatever that concept got. you can set a target like doubling up the prius on highway mpg
>>29085340You are a gay nigger. Your rectum has so many scars that people would think it lost a knife fight.

>>29086528Thats a tow strap. Most race tracks require an easily accessible tow point with a label identifying it. So you can't use the removable factory one.This is what you are thinking of

>>29088072That's not a tow point. It'd just tear the bumper off.
>>29088074I wouldn't do anything, I just do it as an exercise. But there are people who have worse intentions.
