Car sims can use wheels and pedals. What are motorcycles sims using?
>>28894936You don't need content for hotlapping.
>>28894999wheel and pedals
Picrel - 2006 Ford S-Max
>>28894977>So you can overlook the shitty engine and glaring issues after the trannie dies in 2 years.Sure buddy, keep telling that to yourself
>>28894746only upper part of dash changes between vw, seat and ford.very nice beater, good minivan.t. have 2002 2.3>>28894739actually enjoy that hand brake form factor and alcantara seats are nice, tries hard to be minivan, but feels like universal++t. also have 2013 2.2tdciwould gotten 2.0 ecoboost, but was paired only with powershit auto.
>>28895009also who the fuck thought that cabin air filter location was ok and engine air filter box has too much "wood" screws to be opened.
>>28894739is that an aircraft style throttle on the center console?
>>28894826>he says in a message he knows he typed because he saw it on a screen he owns
Welcome to 4chan's Offroad General - where high ground clearance meets low IQ. If it hasn't rolled over yet, you aren't trying hard enough. Post your 4x4 trucks and SUVs. This thread is for the guys who actually leave the pavement and have the broken CV axles to prove it.Previous thread: >>28756649

>>28894303>thinking about just a helical lsd for the frontCheaper than a locker and still practical
>>28815412>>28815324Who is she
I need it.
>>28894941is there any convertable that looks like this that is automatic?
The Z1 is such fucking kino.
The Z stands for ZUKUNFT Until it doesn't
I want to live in a future where crossovers are actually kinda neat
>>28895005kill your self
That’ll be $65,000 base price. Plus tip!
>>28894621except they can't and it's why the stopped selling in the US and world wide sales are laughable. WAYYYYYY overshot the market of poor hippies love for these things.
>>28894025its a e golf wagon or id.4 or .jpeg whatever the fuck theyre calling it, with a box welded on top
it would be a hit at half the price
>>28894029It was supposed to be a practical, utilitarian family hauler and MPV. Had it been offered with the standard 4 cylinder turbo that VW shoves in everything, and at a price range of $25-35k, they might've actually sold more than a few examples.The demographic that the original VW vans were marketed towards couldn't afford these, and most people that can afford them (at $60k+) while still needing a family vehicle are more likely to end up in a Tahoe, Telluride or Highlander over some gimmicky EV, let alone a minivan like a Sienna that literally costs $20k+ less.
>>28894995yeah the average car is now 50k or something now. new minivans are say 30-50k, I feel like this vw would do okay at the higher end of that due to the novelty (more fun that a pure soccermom minivan).
Yellow is best color edition!
>>28889081China. That market is primarily why every luxury car from the last 15 years looks bizarre and has tacky features. The Chinese are massive brandwhores too and the elite will pay out the ass to get the genuine stuff instead of homemade knockoff cars.
>>28893525>you can’t be active anywhere but 4chuds
>>28894125Just coincidentally posts a cropped version of an already-cropped picture, and has no others (unique) to share.
Insurance prices for Bimmers are too high these days. Made me opt for competing brands instead.
which M2 do I buy for $50k. Any concerns with the F87 around 70k miles, things to look for? I'm coming from a WRX
cars no one has ever had sex in
>>28894775Nice Pontiac Large America
Moving?
>>28894775It's too dark outside to get a good photo of my cars :(
>>28894781>that one rally driver that kidnapped a homeless guy and tied him to the passenger seat because the rules stated he had to have a "navigator"....
>>28894791I'll fuck you in your cars just to prove you wrong>>28894994Anon, that was a fake parody story.
Why the fuck are we paying billions of dollars for gas when we can be powering are cars for free with magnetshttps://x.com/dmmsell/status/2038138762149126631
>>28894981Your fossil fuel lobby is spending billions to convince the public that magnet based infrastructure is ugly, dangerous and kills birds
>>28894675Yeah 2bh after I wrote that I thought to myself:>"Oh yeah I suppose people who live in winter hellscapes might need 4WD for the snow...." I forget snow is a thing sometimes.
I buy 4wd vehicles only. The amount of times I've needed it to slog through mud and snow to feed cattle or change water makes it worth it every time.
depends what you use it for
>>28894675Lets see you going up some mountain grades mr. flatlander.

They're insanely decorative
>>28893574>got 2nd placeawesome, congrats anon
>>28893574thats a very rare e46 touring car irl
>>28893698It's not. BMW sold these Super Production class cars to anyone, usually as kits. Not saying they produced thousands, but the E46 was the most popular car for this class back then
>>28893781building a kit car looks fun
>>28894546Not that anon, but I used to build revell kits as a kid and been thinking about buying one to try for the hell of it. It's fun being able to paint things whatever color you want.I gotta stop looking at the hot wheels when I go to the store. Always find something cool that I don't have yet.
Even official limo of their president is literally a truck dressed up as a sedan (picrel). With longer distances (in comparison to Europe and Asia) logic tells that construction suitable for comfort, speed and range should be preferable over long term reliability during towing heavy weights.
>>28890942can jack up the car anywhere on anything without worrying about the sissy reinforced jackpoints on a cuckbody carrust eventually gets everybody. much easier to weld up a frame. in my country they dont care if sheet metal on the cab got rust if frame is solid. random fucking sheetmetal on a unibody car with rust fails inspection.things generally easier to access from below. unibody cars are discardable appliances, body on frame is for when you care and want your car last decades
>>28893708cheked and rekt
>>28890942Better question. Why is the rest of the world obsessed with the US?
>>28894939We're the main character.
>>28891129It wasn’t always like that
I found one locally for $1k, but this is terrifying.
>buy fucked shitbox>pretend to be shocked when shit's fuckedIt's content I guessThe funny part is flat broke OP would have thought buying a dilapidated italian Mondeo is going to result in reliable transportation if it wasn't for some influencer's bait video
>>28894345it's actually a vectra c
>>28894884No. Based on a GM platform, but the Alfa 159/Brera/Spider were the only cars that used it
>>28894324Old cars are expensive to keep going, even the "reliable" ones. Once you get north of 15 years a lot of expensive components start reaching end of life and they can be worth more than the car itself. Only two reasons to get a car in that age range: either you really like that car and are willing to pay whatever it takes to keep it in proper condition, or you're broke and plan to only do basic maintenance until it stops working and then you scrap it.
>tfw will never own an SLS AMGfuck boomer collectors
>>28893112wasn't that slr mclaren?
>>28892989just die
>>28893374>average home costing 1 million by 2040Fucking hell.
>>28892615you can get an AMG GT for like $60k now.
>>28893954i want them gullwings
How did things get so bad?
>>28893196USPS is still better than the niggers at UPS/Fedex, who do everything you're complaining about with the added bonus that they just leave your packages outside because they can't access locked mailboxes and have shareholders so they work their employees even harder to take on volume they can't handle leading to much more chaos and damages.I'll take USPS any day of the week. Fuck Fedex/UPS.
>>28893196>Because they hire people who couldn't finish high school.They don't. find me a drop listing where USPS doesn't require a High School level education. you know who actually does that, though? UPS/Fedex. because they aren't a government job. UPS/Fedex will hire anyone with a pulse. they'll hire bums off the side of the street as a "manager" without even knowing what their managing. I've actually worked at UPS. they have ZERO standards. the USPS being a government job actually has a higher barrier to entry. they often don't even look at your application at UPS when they're desperate for workers. they used to just straight up hire people blindly within 30 minutes of submitting an application. some of the shittiest managers you will ever see in your life that will make McDonald's managers look like Jeff Bezos in comparison.
>>28887780What are you talking about, why would they need to be different? In the UK the Royal Mail vans are just normal vans but red with the emblem on, the newer ones are electric.
>>28893373our mailboxes are on the street in the US.
>>28893353>USPS is still better than the niggers at UPS/FedexLast Fedex guy I saw couldn't even speak English apparently. UPS dudes are OK so far. But I agree, USPS is the best of the bunch.
Just looked up what this "PDK" thing that porsche timmieskeep talking about and they really created a whole acronym so they can avoid saying the word automatic>yeah its a pdk>yeah its an auto
>>28894825What you said is the definition of sneesWhen the pdk breaks they just throw it away and buy another
>>28894825Because you can strip and repair a Tremec T56?
>>28894825>Who cares? Trolls, apparently >Is it fun to drive?Yes>What happens when this "PDK" breaks?As it's basically 2 manual gearboxes in line, you either repair it or get it repaired>Is it easy to repair or will it cost and arm and a leg? Slightly more expensive than a conventional manual - depending what's actually wrong with it.
>>28894825Its still fun and if it somehow breaks I'll get it fixed or just buy another car because it's like 3% of my networth.
>guy tries telling me he ""drives"" his automatic ""sportscar""
