I boughted a tesla model Y, one of the huge perks was never having to buy watered down ethanol gasohol trash, nobody warned me for the wiper fluid consumption these things have though, my savings are all going towards wiper fluid!It's using a gallon a week!
>watered down ethanol :(>watered down methanol :D
>>28969256Looks ~futuristic~ and ~technologically advanced~
>>28970704This.You don't even need alcohol when it's not freezing. They're selling "summer wiper fluid" which is just water with a bit of detergent, but less is probably better there as the blue goo in OP looks disgusting.
That's a good example for the software-inspired Tesla philosophy.If the camera can get dirty, clean it automatically, while legacy car makers would add a dashboard button or simply clean it when the driver cleans the windshield.This approach works 90% of the time, but the remaining 10% are embarrassing and stain your driveway.
>>28968507Because itis not a Tesla thing, its a supercar thing. Tesla engineers came from F1 and supercar background and they just copy pasted the design
>he drives a 4 cylinder
>>28971423>he doesn't know about 4wd and stability controlC'mon, nigga
>>28971426Well what the fuck does that have to do with it being 4 cylinder retard? Why put it in your post?
Yes, and paired with a 5-speed manual, it gets wonderful fuel economy. Costs $34 to fill up from a 1/4 tank.
>>28971427You implied a car couldn't be powerful and easy to drive safely, AWD and stability lets you have a beast without fucking dying, a car doesn't have to be some widowmaker to be powerful in current year.
>>28971418Man amongst teens.Please share pic, if possible.
I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING
I actually really like the turbofan wheels.
>>28967512>$640k gayniggermobile
>>28967556Yeah but why does it look like a Honda concept car from a decade ago??
Pope be like
>>28967512
why EVs still all look like wannabe gasoline cars? since you dont need an engine, designers could go crazy with designs and sell a ton of cars, so why dont they?
>>28970856packing them into a big semi-armored box is the safest method and the most efficient use of space
>>28971063Don't worry bro I got you>>28970922
>>28970844You forgot the fact that they have to be as aerodynamic as possible or else they will get shit range. That's why every EV looks like a dingleberry turned into a hotwheels car.
>>28970837
>>28970834>since you dont need an engine
Post obscure wheels
>>28970923WAGECELS ARE SEETHING
>>28970923
1. bring back the passat w8 wagon2. make it "off road" with a jacked up suspension, skids, and a rear locker3. only one configuration 4. has to ACTUALLY have a w8 engine5. IT WILL SELLcan someone shoop this to make it look all jacked up on stilts? also they need to maintain that 2000 styling and not fuck it up
Reminder that these are an absolute nightmare to maintainBack of the block btw
>>28971096They are going extinct even in eastern europe because dozens of people are buying them up to part out on face book.
>>28971094alltrack passat variants already exist
It wont because Eurocommies in Brussels despise displacement and people who can afford new cars just but cuckovers because their acky 40 year old joints hurt to get into any other car
>>28971416I think the people who would buy normal non-crossover cars also dislike other nucar stuff like biodegradable timing chains and high pressure fuel injection

>>28971274Am I supposed to know which whore this is?
timmy tencent just took down horizon chase 1 on all platforms
>>28971102>yeah but load cell pedals still have elastomers and springs they're not static rightLoad cell pedals have those things because they have to simulate the resistance (and counter-force) of the brake fluid you'd be compressing in a real car.>You could replicate that behavior with a curve (using a hall sensor pedal)They attempt to. I don't own a load cell pedal so I can't side-by-side compare the two, but the way I understand it is that it's a lot better because of it being pressure-sensitive: You can "kick" the pedal, spiking the pressure momentarily just to scrub a little speed and induce rotation while you have to commit a bit more and press the pedal to the right position with a hall pedal.It also means that in a car with adjustable brake pressure, you can adjust it to only lock up essentially when you stomp it, meaning you're able to use more of the pedal, if that makes any sense.In the other direction, if you use a very stiff spring on the load cell pedal, it's still measuring the same inputs. If you don't want a lot of travel in your brake you can run it that way.
>>28970989:_(
>>28971274sexxxoooooooooooooooooooogod i love women so much but i also hate them so much its unreal
Surely it would make more sense, as most speed limits round town are 30 instead of 40, and on the highway 70 rather than 60Pretty sure only British cars do this
>>28968875>>28969232My freightshaker goes up by 10, on the 5's. Also a x100 tach.
>>2896887515, 25, 35mph, etc speed limits are very common, add in your complimentary +5mph over and the speedometer works perfectly
>>28969232what commie bullshit is that?
>>28970626Yeah, usually they're PRND///M
>>28968875Weird, my car has all of the above (minus anything above 110)

>>28971147I wanna see
>>28971264kinda dirty but here it is
>>28970985>What can meaningfully be done to tighten up the suspension and handling on these barges?After everything is actual good shape then I'd probably go after alignment initially. Just getting that better for the job can transform a car. Those radials won't want anywhere near as much toe as spec calls for and try to get the caster above 3 degrees (good luck with that!). More caster will improve return-to-center while also making it a bit harder to turn the wheel and making the car feel more stable at speed. It probably had something silly like 1 degree as spec to make turning at low speeds, such as parallel parking, easy. Might find you don't want some super-fast box on it after that. You'll likely find most shops won't want to do custom alignments though.You might look into a small rear sway bar such as 1/2 inch or something. Unless you want to put a bigger bar in front then you can put a bigger bar in back but they've gotta be balanced to an extent. Though personal preference will probably rule here. The other way to go about this is firmer springs (with matching shock rates!) and little to no sway bar. That rides firmer though, but again personal preference.It'll be difficult to beat the factory on a street car here but you can learn how to find roll and instant centers and roll inclination and tailor to suit. If you play with ride height you'll definitely need to do this if handling is important to you but most don't care as long as the car throws sparks while driving.
The photos I have of it are over 4MB, but I recently bought a '61 Valiant. Not everyone's style, but it's mine. Amazing condition, so the only work I've had to do on it is minor. Changing oil, coolant, replacing the wires running to the headlights, that kinda thing.Pic attached is someone else's valiant, just so you don't have to Google the thing for yourself
>>28971396we had these in aus as well, congrats.get a headlight relay harness or diy one yourself. if still using the stock ammeter, have the harness run off the alternator output stud. will take a lot of load off the 50+ year old wiring.
just when you thought commifornia couldnt get any worse this shit happens
>>28968641I really hope some based retard government mandates rock hard tyres that last forever for environmental reasons
>>28971137lmao you are clueless

I gotta borrow your car, man.
>>28970766The best scumbag Steve is: “asks to borrow car”
here you go bro now dont go too fast heheh
>>28970766Sure, let me reach out to my insurance representative to add you on to my policy as a driver. If anything on your driving record comes up and affects my premium, I won't add you and you can't drive my car. I'll give you my venmo so that you can pay me the difference on my bill.
>>28970766The last time I let a faggot borrow my car, he got a DUI and it was impounded for 45 days... Though, on the bright side, I did end up springing for buying a better car with my shitty one being locked up lol
If you want to borrow my '09 civic that squirts and squeals while you drive it, be my guest. But if you want to borrow my '61 Valiant, you can pry it from my cold dead hands.
when will these be available to buy? will be cool to start seeing them around.
>>28971114Probably in 8 years.They arent selling so they will be rare, depreciation on the first retard who tries to offload it in the used market will convince the others to keep them right up until the battery warranty ends. Then you will have to deal with it.Literal retard car. Im glad Honda made it if only so we vould finally decide who among us are the stupidest retards in the world.I will be monitoring the parking lot at our office and fire/not hire anyone who drives one of these.I will make false DUI claims on drivers of these I see on the road.
>>28971114Now. I've seen a couple already. I'm amazed there's people stupid enough to buy them.
>>28971114The Prelude ended in 2001. Period.Sick of car makers bringing back names and then butchering them.>>28970820The Prelude was canned because an Accord coupe rode better and was not as expensive, and had a V6. There were a few other things that also made the car feel pointless by its last 97-01 generation.Now I heard, and no I am tried and not fact checking, that Honda canned some version of the Accord or Civic to launch this new Prelude.This thing will never sell, like any other two door sports coupe in the last 20 years.Cars like these are for boomers with spending money (infact I just spoke with a boomer today who bought a brand new BMW X5 for over $100,000). Gen Y and Z don't have any of that spending money, and just need four wheels. So suvs and crossovers will continue, cause that's what they want, or can only afford.And the price of even a "cheap" new car is insane. So who is gonna buy like a 55-80,000 Prelude?Used car market is also still fucked.
>>28971114Is it the new Hyundai Coupe ??
I still haven't seen one. Or an Integra. I squint at Prius to see if they're a prelude and nope it's a Prius. Prius is cooler anyway
What's the worst automotive purchase you've seen?My ex financed a Kia Borrego at $920 for 72 months at 20% interest
>>28968474friend of a friend financed a 2004 BMW 3 series with 160k miles, and was paying $600 a month for it. engine blew up after a month, friend mentioned that dude found out the entire rest of the car was fucked when looking into replacing the engine. he hadn't done any kind of inspection or anything when buying it.
>>28968474>coworker bought a diesel GMT800>quarter million miles on it with mods on the turbo by PO>paid like 16k for it >popped the head gasket less than 3 months after daily driving>decides to redo the head himself>spends a year tearing it apart, getting head refinished, etc.>tosses out a ton of emissions stuff, literally cuts off wiring and wraps over it>humpty dumpty gets put back together again>coworker complains it's not making power nowcherry on top? he doesn't even haulzoomers are retarded
>>28971175Because they're ignorant dipshits, but 8% in current year is not horrendously shameful for a young person.
>>28971175>I will never buy a car with credit again.Enjoy paying actual sticker price then.Best way is>haggle a bit down>do their financing>READ NIGGA READ>oh no penalty to pay off early>let 1-3 months go by>pay off in fullSucks but that's often the best way since most dealerships want to make the real cash on missed payments, interest, and keeping your car on the hook for offers like the ability to upgrade/service/trade you in.
