How do automatic drivers (safely and correctly) overtake when they can't downshift to get the required acceleration boost?
>>29063714Not me
>>29062678A literal kickdown button under the pedal
>>29063871the old 540 had this and it was so much fun, probably the best featureum passing isnt a big deal the transmission will serve you a pretty low gear if you floor itnow, for hills and winding curves/hairpin turns - I keep it in manual mode and serve up a much lower gear than the transmisssion would because its a gutless 4banger with no low end torque
>>29063719Not my problem, try driving a not shit car next time
>>29062678Why do you assume there would be a situation where you "can't" downshift? Is this manualfags trying to use the "shift denied" thing as a gotcha since you can't money shift an automatic?
I feel like the electric driveline is vastly underutilized for small coupes. The battery would add weight sure but would imitate the mid-engine weight distribution fine. And a car that doesn't need to haul family also has lots of space to pack battery, and the low air resistance also means better range. As a Grand Tourer, a quiet driveline with instant torque is also really nice to have.Why haven't we had a coupe renaissance via electric?
>>29063722Current EVs don't have a problem with low speed torque. So the batteries seem to be able to provide the necessary current.The few EVs that use 2 speed gears don't use them for low speeds but for high rpm, where some motors become less efficient - but there are other ways to deal with this like electrically excited motors.
>>29063634They had a bunch of beetle clones (rear engined econoboxes) in the 60s. Never a rear engined sports car though.
>>29063711Yes a two-seater coupe brings a lot of space to store battery, and should open up trunk space even more. The limiting factor will be weight. I don't think people should expect 400 mile light EV coupes. 250 mile is probably fine, so long as it can charge decently fast.
>>29063724The struts aren't even that expensive to replace. Irrelevant to cry about considering that.

I haven't found the context or details yet.Picrel lifted from a /pol thread >>541063961WTF
>>29060651>stupid goyim all hate each other and are ready to snap at a moments noticejews are laughing all the way to the foreskin-bank and bank-bank.
>>29060664I only agree with the last thing you said, and even I think you're an edgy retard.
>>29060651It's that kinda risky in country where everyone has guns?
>>29063838Very.Most people don't want to kill someone thankfully, even when faced with something like that. It takes two angry maniacs to meet in the pinnacle of anger for the guns to start showing up.Brandishing is illegal in most places, sometimes a felony. So if you pull it out too soon then decide not to use it, you could get charged for that as the laws' phrasing is usually vague enough that a lawyer can say you brandished.
>>29063846>as if anyone cares about consequences99.9% of "people" don't have the self-control to inhibit basic impulses like raping, killing, or shoving sugar in their mouthmost people these days just do crazy shit and deal with the fallout laterthere's too much safety factor in society. seatbelts and airbags shouldn't exist. impulsive low-IQ retard? you should die at 8yo the first time you fuck up.99.9% of "humans" need to be tortured to gruesome deathswe need a global nuclear holocaust YESTERDAYonly normcattle disagree. tell me, what do you have to live for, young man? are you rich? do you have a GF? do you have a good job? do you have any hope? why support society when you can and SHOULD burn it down?
This is the Volvo EX60. It is a boring bog-standard midsize SUV for families. It has about 330 miles of range.However! It is also a 500hp beast that does 0-100 in less than 5s, 524 lb-ft of torque and it has adaptive suspension and AWD (that can be toggled to RWD only) too. And it doesn't cost $100k+. This variant retails for about 60k. ICE cars are being fast made irrelevant, an ICE car with these specs would be double the price (and most likely require 6-8cyl engines that regulations hate). We've reached the point where the electric driveline is maturing a great deal, beyond what ICE cars could do.
>>29063481But nobody has said the ICE drivetrain hasn't changed in 50 years though.
>>29063507Technically, that is true. You're right in saying no one said that. No one also said tree bark tastes like orange shoelaces. There's a lot of things no one said.
>>29063379Heard the Volvo EVs have a ton of issues and recalls. The EVs aren't made in Sweden like their ICE models, most are made in China in Geely plants, and are probably just rebrands of Geely EVs.
>>29063527Both drivetrains improve with time, but electric drivelines improve more as electric motors become more efficient with reduced costs of manufacturing. A V8 is as expensive as ever to make, if not even more in order to comply with modern emissions standards. >>29063877>Heard the Volvo EVs have a ton of issues and recalls.Mostly software shit that has mostly been ironed out now. The cars themselves are reliable. EX60 is created and manufactured in Gothenburg, Sweden.
>>29063379Are things really that bad in Europe? A cheap tuned F-150 will easily do those numbers and get a lot more than the 130 miles of range you'll get out of that little cuckover
What oil should I run?Ultra Platinum is no longer available.

i present to your the GOAT engine, surpassing even the amc 4.0. it will always workit has pushrodsit is carbed.it may or may not have enough oil.it has been cloned by ching and chong 17 billion times and the parts grow on trees.it just goes after a bit of starting fluid or the morning breath of a drunkard.

>>29063042the honda 90s are fuckin dogs. i know because i have one. horrible. I guess its impossible to break something that has zero power.

I just hit 250k miles with my car. Now what?

>>29061292>>29061300When do you register it again? You could have close to 2 years before you need to pass emissions.
>>29062361March 2027
>>29062440Well if you got the emissions testing done last time you registered it you have until march of 2028 to fix the cat or dump the car.or just don’t renew your registration. every other asshole in this state is driving around on expired tags.
>>29057761>Now what?Do what Bohdi did...
>hearses are cuckovers nowthere is no escape, even in death
>>29059413The fleetwood will always mog the roadmustard>>29058883It's because there's hardly any sedans left let alone ones capable of being converted.
>>29058883If you're based, they put you in a Nissan Safari hearse when you die. I hear you get to go to the afterlife that Norm Macdonald is in too.
>>29058883>aggressive styling even on a hearseThat's going to be useful for when the funeral director needs to do 90mph and flash slow drivers in the overtaking lane.
>>29059274Seems like a lowered Suburban would make a pretty easy conversion.
>>29059274you dont NEED a sedan
plushies in cars,based or cringe?
>>29058816TAKE THAT DOWN NOW.
>>29058700No. It's cringe either way.
>>29058744this but based instead of cringe
>>29058691One or two is okay. More is usually cringe, unless you've got so many the car becomes a show attraction unto itself.
>>29059755>>29059756Only correct answer.I still lurk here.
what went right
>>29062170>1.9 tdi> common railgood bait faggot, now kill yourself double nigger.
It's all about that MK1 1.8T OctaviaIt even drinks like a czech
>>29062299Added mechanical stress?
>>29062825in such an engine the high pressure fuel pump sits ontop of the injector and is actuated by the timing belt and a cam shaft. The first ones had a belt change intveral of just 50k miles and after ~250k miles the hole inside the head is fucked, oval and leaks
It's simple: Czechs are based, Germoids are cringe. Don't forget the original Beetle is a Czech design stolen by Ferdinand Porsceh from Tatra. Germoids steal everything from Czechs

Is 6k for a toyota camry 2009 with 130k miles a shit deal?The boomer got offended when I offered 5k and started yelling that i was wasting his time
It's absolutely a shit deal and 5 years ago that was a $1700 car.Unfortunately, the world is gay and retarded and that is the current market rate.
>>29063176It's a brand new toyota camry retardsure it looks like shit and sucks to drive but it's reliable and that warrants the 300% markup

Why do strangers touch and take pictures with cars that aren't theirs? Just the other day I caught some dumb bimbo whore sitting on the hood of my car as her friend took a picture. I confronted her and they tried to make me out to be the bad guy. Don't touch my fucking car. Don't sit on my car. I asked them to bring me to their car so I can sit on the hood and of course they weren't ok with that but I'm suppose to be ok with them sitting on my car that cost almost 100k? I can't even use it as a daily drive because of dumb where's and their entitlement
>>29062946youre thinking of porsche owners
>>29063611Just say your a pussy and afraid of confronting people. Being nice to someone disrespecting you and possibly damaging your property is very cowardly. What would you do if they damaged your shit box? Brush it off cause a woman talked to you?
>>29063630You are brown
>>29063636I'm actually white. You can admit you're poor and would let women sit on your shit box because it means actually talking to a woman
>>29063636Seething poorfag

Red mirrors and trim means its a Nismo one. Quite nippy or so the neighbor tells me.If they were blue then its electric.
