The original and most popular car of its kind.
>>28909146Love it when people who make obnoxious shitpiles are obsessed with "hating" and their "haters". Like yes, why do you think that is.
>>28904660-ly last
>>28904083Why did they make it so brutal looking? I like it because of Gone in 60s seconds but the back is so much less sexy than the 60s ones, this one is zero finesse.
>>28909314but why u maf tho
How do we save MINI?
>>28912663That's already the Countryman though
>>28912537Why do they even need to exist? Out of the 10 or so I see a year 7 of them are the pigfat 4 door crossover version. Sure the 2 doors may be """""""fun to drive"""""" but it's still not worth the crippling unreliability.
>>28912668Not big enough.
>>28912683ok, a MINI BIGGIE would be brilliant actually and I hate SUVs
>>28912679They have been using reliable bmw engines for over a decade now. The peugeot engines were bad.
>*cracks open a cold one*hehe, yep
ok
>>28912646It's fine for hybrids.They don't warm up oil fast enough like an all gas car does.So the oil weigh has to be thin to compensate.
0w-0 when?
>>28912695When your engine dilutes the already water thin oil with gas. New Hondas will still dilute the oil (even with the software update lol) enough to not only overflow the oil level but will also trigger a rich code as the fumes get sucked back into the intake.
I LOVE PAYING IMAGINARY PRICES FOR GAS YES I LOVE IT I LOVE SPENDING 60$ FOR A FULL TANK YIPPIEEEE I LOVE ITTTTT
>>28895649Watchu gonna do it about cuckboi. Ride a bike to work instead? lmfao, it'll keep you awake better than the morning coffee
freedom aint free pinko faggot
>>28911389As it happens, letting some wannabe tyrant trample all over the freedoms and limitations of power enshrined in the constitution so he can better fulfill the will of his satanic Jew masters is even more expensive than freedom.
>cheap af electricity from hydro power>short commute + free charging at workI'm having the last laugh getting a 4 year old used EV for half of MSRP in Dec
>Trump opened his mouth againOh boy here we go
Well lads winter weather is officially over for the year for 95% of us, time to get to washing. What are we>using>shilling>considering
>>28912049could be user error, or just a bad ratio of product to water. I run a cheap karcher cube (with a properly set up MTM Hydro mind you) and actually just finished a gallon of that CG trash and it works fine. could also be the flow restrictor, but I'm not a mind reader, and that would only affect pressure output and drop offs, which is very obvious when it's wrong. try using more soap in the cannon, like a full two ounces in the bottle minimum, and check if there's a dial to adjust for that and crank it for maximum soap output. if you were using less, that may be all there is to it
I use like 2 drops of dawn blue in the mop bucket and use that with a microfiber sponge thing and a garden hose with a sprayer. Interior is the same thing to clean everything.
>>28911436idk man, pay someone to detail my shit I guess
What should I use to remove caked-on brake dust on a shitbox? There are some tight spots where soap & elbow grease won't cut it.
>>28912684Have you tried doubling the soap and tripling the elbow grease?
The thinking man's vehicle.
>>28912647Said thinking man's thoughts? Cocks in his butt and semen down his throat.
>>28912647Thinking man? Yeah, thinking about getting cucked, man
>>28912647Is there a car that makes /o/ seethe more?
Thinking about their repair bill
Step up to the R, faggot

i think my NA shocks are dead. what do i replace them with?konis seem kinda expensive
>>28912533i got the excel g ones from rock auto like 10 years agoi don't know shit about shocks though. my ride's always bumpy
>>28912250>only fast is funJust go get a Tesla and drive it off a cliff if stop light racing is all you care about
>>28912533Flyin' Miata has Konis on sale right now, and they include new bump stops for free. They are well worth the money. I have the special actives and love them. Don't cheap out on your suspension, you'll regret it. t. did
>>28911156congrats man that's fucking awesome>>28912565jesus wtf, even on sale they're spendier than 949 tecnas, which are much better in every respect
>ruins ur mileage
>>28912422>BMtroubleULel everything will be your problem on that piece of shit
>>28911666American cars come with the best ac, my cars ac goes down to 15c and I never have to go that low, 18c is cold enough on a 40c day
>>28910798Uhhhh no it doesnt.
Turning the AC off in a shitbox was the original sport mode buttonI fondly recall doing this to pass people quicker in a Toyota Matrix

"Thank fuck I'm not an o/o" edition
>>28912630cope
>>28912633That’s my secret – I’m always driving tired. I live my life every Monster Java and 5 hour energy shots at a time.
>>28912642^^finner boutter pull another 14 hour shift on 3 hours sleep kekthe endurance is a muscle greenhorns have to work up
>>28912644Oh, I love when those days end because once my head hits the pillow, I go right to sleep and then someone will bang on my door because I was snoring too loud and can’t go back to sleep.
>>28912649same, sometimes causes sleep paralysis for me though
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.
>>28911805You sound vaccinated.
>>28911572>I went 90 mph todayI do this every day in a Ford Focus. Big set of nuts you got their big boy.
>>28911805>>28912044calm down mexicacas
>>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.
Do i do it bros? 0% interest for 72 months. It the standard but i’m upgrading from a 200k mile toyota shitbox.$400k NW at 28, i’ve never made a car purchase before and i’m scared.
>>28912580> $400k NW at 28, i’ve never made a car purchase before and i’m scared.is this some kind of pajeet larp or something? it’s 400 dollars a month not 4000 you shitskinned faggot
>>28912600Bro I live like a miser, I kid you not. I just sock away money for investments. Idk why it just became a habit for me.
>>28912602i dont believe you and no a screenshot of a banking app will not change my mind that being said if youre getting a tesla aim for the the model s plaid it does 0-60 in 2 seconds flat
>28if you are renting an apartment you don't need to take on a $480/month car payment and full coverage on a brand new vehicle
buy a 3 year old one for 60% off
there is no replacement for displacement
>>28912252>engineers when rotational velocidensity enters the chat
>>28912252>Turbo 8 litre 1200 hp
>>28912252The 6L will make that on single digit boost while the 3L will need upwards of 20psi. The 6L will be much more "drivable". Displacement is king. >>28912510It would be pretty hard to make that little if you're talking aftermarket. People street drive Vipers that make over 3000hp. Twin turbo big block V8's in promods are making over 6000hp these days. Where are the 6000+hp RB's, 2J's or B58's?
>>289092411 lb of feathers
>>28912608But 1lb of bricks is faster
>2016 mazda vs 2026 mazdaWe are dead and this is Hell.
>>28911658also have a 2016 cx5 and that little knob in the middle has been broken for like 5 years. would cost a couple hundred bucks to fix so i never bothered
>>28912141>>28912106>>28911660The CX-6e was developed with Changan (creator of Deepal S07) so they have a lot of similarities. Probably similar to what GM did to Saab back in the day. Not quite a full rebadge, but getting there.
>>28912368Sucks to be you then i guess. Mine is still going strong and i would use it any time over the touchscreen, especially when driving.
>>28911230It's mostly a rebadge of a Chinese EV, so I'm guessing they were thinking "this shit sells in China".

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
>>28912172that looks like a ford9" front axle and they dont exist, ford used dana 35, 44, 50 and 60 front axles. but is commonly made for offroad using d60 outers. is your pickup 4x4 or not? bet you didnt expepct an euro to know this.

One time I saw a huge dodge ram on a german street on google maps
>>28907856europeepee's can't afford to operate pickups, shrimple as
>>28912399It is an F100. 4x4? Yes I need it when I haul hogs. As I said I don't take pictures so it ain't my truck, just looks similar. I knew reading wasn't common over across the sea but I guess it outta be hammered home sometimes.

>>28912414quarter panel or rear wing in bonglish
>>28912414This one right here. What is this called and does anyone make new ones?
>>28912511o rite, dutchman panel.
>>28912511and look up your model to see if there are repro panels, otherwise you might need to scab one from the wreckers
>>28911704My personal experience says I'll spend $300 on this shit, keep them around just in case, one day actually need them again, and need to buy a new set anyway because I can't find the old ones.
