>almost cause an accident, 100% my fault>have suicidal thoughts and refuse to drive for daysHow do you guys cope with this?
>>28847879I didn’t mentally register a red light and had to slam on the brakes to not hit a pedestrian. I have been driving for a decade and this never happened before
>>28847882Happened to my over a decade ago. I was going home after a 12 hour night shift and blew a red light. A car was turning left from the opposite direction and honked me. Just be glad nothing happened and don't do it again.
>>28847882The fact that you avoided it means all is well. You ALMOST win the lottery when you buy a lottery ticket. Your reflexes are proven good enough for it to not be a problem.Chill dawg
>>28847857i forget about it like 20 seconds later and go back to driving poorly, its also never my fault because i'm innocent and sweet.
>>28847857figure out the root cause of your mistake. were you not paying attention? were you tired? whatever it was, and come up with an action plan so it doesn't happen again. put the negative energy toward self improvement.
I was thinking about an airbag vest cause that's what they use in motogp but I've realized that buying a hard armor might be better because:1. Motogp airbag suit is not the same as a cheap vest2. The danger on the streets is different than in motogp because streets have carsTypically an airbag vest is activated by pulling a cable that connects the vest with your bike. Pulling the cable means you fell of your bike. But hooking and unhooking the cable seems like one of those everyday things you'll forget to do once in a while. On the other hand, activated vest stiffens your neck which is the most important part of your body other than head cause that's what connects the head with rest of your body.

Are you ignoring one right now?
>>28831616Yep. The last time I checked, it was a faulty O2 sensor heater. Can't be bothered to replace it.
>>28831616>CEL and severe oil burning on a Hyundai with the Theta I4 engine
>>28831616Yes. My winter beater has had one one for years. Don't really care. It's just an O2 sensor.
>>28831616Yes, I had to cut out my cat to get my car to run so I have a permanent CEL now. When I finish building the replacement engine I'll give it a new cat, no sense in buying one now that's just going to get clogged with blowby again.
>p0420Ayy lmao. But seriously there is no cat. Now the flashy p0300 has me conserned.
Can we please get rid of all the nanny state auto regulations that have cropped up in this country since 1962?
>>28847831I was born with an organ that doesn't work. I'm dead in 3-5 days without injections of something from genetic engineering that isn't produced in the US. I have to pay $1k+ more a month than everyone else, just for the privilege of being alive.America can go fuck itself.
I don't take orders from pedophile thief rapists.I will not kill a man who I cannot speak to because a pedophile thief rapist wanted to get wealthier.Who thought this was a good idea? Fuck it.
>>28846800Cars were more powerful running leaded fuel.
>>28847873It means you get better actual gasoline instead of them relying on lead to prevent knock. There are plenty of substitutes like MMT that don't spread an element that permanently binds to and blocks receptors in your brain making you and your kids very literally mentally retarded.
>>28846948Lol I know a kid who didn't wear one and he was thrown through the windshield. If you're the one who breaks it you aren't surviving. The driver was the lucky one thrown without going through a windshield. Wear your seatbelt bros

>>28847891yeah absolutely fucking rank
I feel like this is the new undercover JDM hotness and will be held as a final hurrah to affordable sporty rwd coupes even if and when Nissan eventually goes broke for good.
>>28847491yeah, I agree and my heart instantly said "get the Aston", but my brain was giving me bad ideas, like "hey, the new Z is cheaper and just as good, AND it'll come with a warranty!"
>>28844216Its a worse mustang in every way
>>28847803it's smaller and lighter, more fuel efficient, cheaper.
>>28847865Its 127lb lighter, 80hp less and actually worse fuel economy, over the last 7000km my mustang got 9.2l/100km the z is listed at 10.8 for a manual.

the Crown Signia Limited. The only trim available in Canada. the Limited and one lower trim available in the USA.so, what do I think of it?
>>28847640fuck i did hear about the tundras engineswho's reliable now? subaru? honda? anyone?
>>28846795Goyota interiors are truly Jeet tier.
>>28847699who makes good interiors? i saw the new BMWs and they looked fucking brutal.Volvo look cool iirc
>>28846795They just have bare usb c ports, no rubber covers over them? Even my 2017 lexus IS has covers over the usb and power ports and its inside the glove box
>>28847769My bmw and porch have uncovered USB ports. One is facing upwards by the cup holders.
I know what I got
>>28847734It's not even the supercharged 3800. 204HP granny car legal on a probationary license.
>>28847742Kill all frog posters
>>28847806Of course it is, it's in Australia.
>>28847735Can't believe he's comparing Shelby owned cars to a shitbox that Brock's son flogged on his pplates lmao
>>28847735Protip, when an ad says that something is a "bargain", it is never a bargain.
Does a car that fulfills these criteria exist?>build year between 2003 and 2013-ish>available on yuropoor market>RWD or AWD>gasoline engine>decent MPG>doesn't cost an arm and a leg to buy or maintain>most important of all: reliable>bonus: fun to drive
>>28847856he said decent mpg
>>28847844Actually that does seem like a decent option. Which is better, 1st gen or 2nd gen? Curiously though, all the ones for sale around here are rather low mileage ones, so how reliable are they really?
>>28847866And reliable with fun to drive being a bonus
>>28847868The 5 cylinder petrols are very reliable.
>>28847867Not an expert, but I think the first and second gen are similar enough that I wouldn't worry about it. They are quite reliable. Only weak point is the gearbox. There is an input shaft bearing that goes bad and needs to be replaced. Where I live, Swifts are very popular, and this is a well known and not too expensive (<200 euro) thing. I've owned the Swift in the photo for about six months, overall very happy with it. I bought it for rally raids and have gone on some brutal terrain with it. Only major unplanned problem so far is that the alternator (original from 2007 with 350k km) started going out while driving into downtown Nouakchott last night. I am sitting around at a shop waiting for the electrician now.
What's with the Japanese obsession with hydrogen?

I will buy a new car this year and thinking of getting fully body ppf and ceramic on top. what does /o/ think of ppf?
>>28847130I decided against it. I figure if I still care about keeping my car looking pristine 10+ years down the line, I will either trade in for a newer model or pay for a full repaint of the vehicle, which fixes any scratches and dents as well. But most likely by that point I will simply be in the market for a new car.
>>28847460The biggest tell is excessive ‘Orange Peel’ its a texture in the paint that is very similar to the fruit in texture. Caused by poor preparation or rushed work.
>>28847130I don't know, I feel like that is a wrap and you have to be careful.
>>28847720Other way around. Factory paint is notorious for orange peel as they can't use the solvents they used to. BMW in particular is notorious for factory peel.
>>28847456>basic 911>probably flappy paddle automaticYeah like I said, not worth ppf'ing
Has anybody use Kanter Auto Parts for their classic car? How do they hold up long term?Need to do all of the rubber parts on the front suspension of my c body. Only people I know of who have used them didn't keep the cars long term.
>>28847373Kanter has a good reputation. The only other places I can think of would be oldmoparts.comand jimsautoparts.com, although the first is mostly forward look era, and the second is A/B/E body specific, but you could contact them and see if there is part number interchange. I have dealt with both in the past and they're both good.
>>28847373Beautiful machine, is that a Newport?
>>28847373Whatsup dude, I am become 74 supercharged nova guy, eater of beans
fuck my poorfag zoomer life
>>28847737Way too often, polish are like indians and should've gone back home
>>28847597because of my poorfag zoomer life i dont have this actually
>>28846925Why? Because you're stuck driving this trash?
>>28847737how are the polish going to steal it when it doesn't even work?
>>28847739They constantly break and let you down anon even when well maintained. I'm sick of mine and its a fucking mint. Seriously its a humiliation ritual owning one of these. Muh le heckin cool mob car is cool for 5 minutes until your dash cluster shits out right after you get down refreshing your exploded cooling system. Not even Sisiphus has time for this car. Aspire to an LX470 or something. I had an E34 and it was ok by comparison maybe rock an E32 instead (basically the same as an E34 but longer).
I just got a new truck and after driving it for about 2 weeks now i think truck niggers are actually onto something.>fuck ton of room on the inside>rides high af you can see everything>4wd so you arent useless in 2 inches of snow>bigger engines and better transmissions by default>my presence on the road is actually acknowledged>actually practical so my resell value wont tankhonestly i dont get the small portion of people on here that hate these things, they're everything you need.
>>28846192My truck has an active diff in front and a diff lock in the rear
>>28846192>subaru is full time awdand yet they're always in snow berms and stuck in parking spots>gayniggermobile
>>28846159Why do you always act like cars only exist in a perpetual state of bumper to bumper traffic? Is it just like that where you live?
>>28846050I drive small cars and big trucks and my cock is big
>>28846048An omder volkswagen bug is still more practical than this
>He never had a girl in his first car
>>28847455Never had a car either
>>28847787what an uptight bitch
>>28847813Imagine, if you will, being drunk and deserted by your friends, needing a ride back home.But the only guy willing to offer you a ride is a teenager, drunk, with beer cans in the car, and he's a raving homosexual making eyes at you and clearly wants to fuck you in the ass. And he's at least smart enough that you think he could have date rape drugs.What do you do? Do you protecc your anus?
>>28847814I wouldn't even go to his car then.
>first carWhy stop there?
