I read a news report stating that the Cybertruck will be discontinued soon.It was my dream car, that I wanted after I reached a higher salary somewhere in mid-2028. Currently I make $74k CAD. Cybertruck is $140k here after configurations.I'm genuinely feeling sad. Like it was one of my reasons to work.What the fuck? Why did this happen? Is it even happening? I don't want a second-hand Cybertruck, maybe one that is barely used is fine, but not highly used.What to do? Very sad right now

There is zero reason why turning on red shouldn't be legal by default. By far the most annoying part of driving in Europe.

1973 CADILLAC with a TH400. I moved it. Forward, no problem, but in reverse (slight slope) there was nothing. Even revving up, felt like it did nothing, then suddenly it came unstuck to the point of spinning the wheels.Any idea ? I guess the cold ATF didn't help, and I should have let it warm up a bit instead of driving off right away.
>>29147533Could be anything from sticking servo to low hydraulic pressure and took time to squeeze the clutch pack to gunked up valve body to you had coagulated blocking a passage and you blew it out.
>>29147470>>29147524thanks for the info. so the block came from either a car or a 2wd truck. then they had to swap the oil filter mount and the oil pan. at some point the passenger side head was replaced and they reused the bolts. i know this because they didn't "crack" loose like TTY bolts should. one of them wasn't even torqued. seems to have "worked", though. anyways, i'll go do a bit more work on it now
>>29148505The casting numbers on the heads will glean a little more info. The oil filter adapter also has a casting number (if its not aftermarket).If its a 2 barrel setup then the majority of people are not going to swap the intake when they pull a running motor out of another car to swap in. That casting will tell you the most.Timing cover is almost never swapped out from its original motor so that would be a good casting number to check but a little more involved to see.Also.Replace that 3" pipe for the water pump bypass while you have the intake off. Hell of a lot easier to change now.
>>29148505I don't think factory FE bolts are TTY. I think that came along in the late 80s, so you can re-use your head bolts if they look good. I also want to say the 4x4 used the car oil filter adapter, but the 2wd has a specific adapter for them.

Stupid Questions That Do No Deserve Their Own ThreadOld thread: >>29102887 (Dead)#Old thread: >>29074726 (Dead)# ————————— Long time no see, yeah, yeah, whatever. Help me out.I'm about to change oil and I realized that the last time I did, I put in the wrong one ! My notes say its ok but I didnt write down why, and I forgot. So maybe you fuckers can guide me.My owners manual says that alternatively to the recommended supra mazda original badass oil, I can also use 5W-30 or 0W-30 as long as they are ACEA C3.I did my homework and I know about the slight difference between 5W-30 and 0W-30.But the oil I used last year was .. 0W-30 ; ACEA A3/B3 , ACEA A3/B4 .. so not ACEA C3.Why was it ok to use that oil? How fucked am I? Should I iterate my challenge to the Nippon?
>>29148698are you deliberately being obtuse? you better not betell the parts store guy you want to buy the brand of seal that comes with a sleevethen save it afterwards
>>29148709Why would I buy another part that I already have? The question wasn't "should I buy another part I already have" now was it?
>>29148712suck it up buttercup, you fucked up when you bought the one you have, and you can't return it because it's all grimy and damaged from your hamfisted installation attempt. at least it was a cheap part.
>>29148721it was part of a complete gasket set, because I'm re sealing my engine. If you aren't capable of giving any advice, why even reply at all?
>>29148728oh wow, are you going to rebuy the entire gasket set from a manufacturer that includes the sleeve, or will you try and find just the sleeve? Or will you try and make a sleeve like I suggested in my first post where you ignored that good advice so you could intentionally misunderstand the rest of the post in order to have this stupid argument over nothing?

>>29148627What's there to talk about? It's not his car, his parents bought it. He didn't work hard to modify it, his parents bought the parts. There's nothing of interest. There's a couple young guys at work that have nice daddy's money vehicles and nobody talks to them about their vehicles.

This is a long shot, but maybe an experienced mechanic or somebody can help me. I have a 2015 Hyundai Sonata and there's an issue where the car has white smoke coming out of the exhaust randomly at times. My dealer doesn't know whats wrong and I took it to a mechanic and he said the gasket head is not broken. He believes the piston rings are seizing onto the cylinder pistons and that in turn is causing the oil to go over the pistons and burn the oil. Is there anyway to fix a car like this aside from getting a new engine? Is it possible to fix the piston rings from seizing onto the pistons? any help is highly appreciated from a knowledgeable mechanic. My dealer won't help me and the engine is only 2 years old. its a 2.4L GDI Theta engine
>>29144409>I have a 2015 Hyundai SonataOver five years.Does it have less than 10 miles on it or something?
>>29144409Korean cars are such hot garbage holy shit. They've always sucked- even though their interiors and exteriors are decent.>Is there anyway to fix a car like this aside from getting a new engine? Have to determine the real cause of the white smoke. Piston rings being clogged? Engine valve seals leaking and need replaced? Some air line sucking in power steering fluid/oil/coolant? Headgasket problem? Valve cover gasket seals? If its something small, maybe an experienced mechanic can fix it. But you said you got it from the dealer, so make Hyundai fix it. Talk to your lawyer about legal moves and bring it to corporate. Like >>29144411 said, bring it to corporate or the dealer and have them replace it- because that's what they do.

>>29143634No one really did outside of the middle east. Toyota had them removed from every website and official ads no longer ran for them. It was basically a dealership thing, if you wanted one you just told them and they'd order you one fresh off the line. I see the odd "new" one come up for sale here in Canada but it's obviously an imported one from overseas. Last one was listed at $75,000 with 3,000km on it and that was over a year ago. >>29143796These are fine but not nearly as collectible or coveted as the FJs. They get a really bad rep from the pink milkshake thing, it's like the one thing anyone knows about them if they know anything.
