>>28797919as already mentioned above, fsd is not available in europe, for regulatory reasonssame goes for most of the rest of the world, actually. i think its available in australia? maybe a couple other places?but yes, if fsd is available in your market, imo it makes teslas the only cars you should consider. no other feature is as impactful or worth giving fsd to get.(unless you're specifically looking to buy a fun weekend car, in which case obv fsd is not relevant, and ofc you'd want to buy some ice that is naturally aspirated, rwd, with a manual)(also unless you can't charge at home, or you're towing, or live in the arctic circle, or there's some other reason why you can't do EV)>>28797952>Mercedes has had lvl2 self driving for a couple years nownigga pleasebarely passable lane centering + adaptive cruise is not lvl2 self drivingnobody has anything that's even in the same ballpark as fsdwell, except waymo, presumably, but their shit is not available for private cars (and also, if the recent bruhaha with the power outages is any guide, is also much worse than current fsd anyway...)
>>28797967>nothing in the same ballparkHave you not seen the news?https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/technology/nvidia-chips-mercedes.html
>>28798000so, nvidia is selling chips to merc? what does that have to do with anything? you can go on youtube right now and watch fsd sucessfuly complete countless trips of arbitrary lengths, in every sort of conditions imaginable. not just start&stop traffic, not just highway miles, but everything, from peoples driveway all the way to parked at their destination, including city streets, b-roads, twisty mountain roads, obstructions, construction, accident avoidance, fucking everything.that's not to say that fsd is perfect, ofc, but aside from getting confused in weird parking lots and sometimes hesitating when changing lanes, its currently a real, functional, personal chauffeur that can do 99% of your driving for you.when merc has something that can do that shit, im sure the internet will let me know.
>>28797719Depends on whether Europe can be politically rewired or not. Right now, they are experimenting with socialism, so they dont like that. Also America makes Europe seethe

Seems that this car would be a bargain for a larper.
>out of warranty GermanGo ahead. Do it. Buy it, then have a revelation why these barges are lease machines because you'll spend the same amount in repairs/ neglected maintenance as making payments on a new one

>>28798024that opinion is very unemployed/blue collar of youmy mind muscle is exercised all the time because I'm gainfully employed in a white collar industry, so I'd never rely on doing some brief basic research on 4chan thread topics to keep my mind from having "early onset dementia"

If plastic control arms are such a big issue, how come noone's just casting their own out of aluminium? Make a mold out of the original one and ur golden. Even plain beer cans will give you comparable or better strength, not to mention actual duralumin

Anyone else tired already of light bars? They are overly bright and look dated.
Looks good on my Golf. Every other car with one looks bad though.

You do have a CB radio in our car, right? right???
>>28797710There's a shocking amount of retards who hold the mic up to their mouth and yell into it, working in a place where everyone has a radio is pain.
No, I have my ham license. But I don't have a ham radio in my car and never make use of my license for it because it's nothing but boomers talking about stupid shit at 6:30 in the morning.
>>28797710I've always had to use an external speaker since I find the internal ones unintelligible.

Challengers seem cool to me. Interested in something that's fun and powerful. Dont care how bad the milage is just want a big loud engine.Do i need any certification to buy a decommissioned main battle tank? Pic unrelated.

Is there any reason to buy a Challenger intead of a Charger? Seems like they're similar but Charger has more doors.

>>28792590At least two
>>28792590I do not have any currently. Had a 95 accord for a bit, decent enough little beater until the timing belt snapped and all the valves got bent. Had an odyssey I took in on a trade, the interior had been ruined by the previous owner's dog, so I pulled out all but the front seats and used it as a work van until some retard t boned me and it got totalled. Also had an NC700X, I loved that bike but my need for speed was greater than my need for 75mpg so I traded it towards a Z900RS. I'm planning on getting a Honda CRF300L Rally as a secondary bike so I can hit some dirt trails.

>haven't gone to a junkyard in the better part of 10 years>half shut down or are close to the public now>call one nearby>got bought out by an Indian but he at least tells me they don't have any newer ones there>check the other one>part finder broken for years on the website is still broken>call>Do you have any 201X-201X late model XYZ in the yard?>You need engine?>No I need other parts, could you just tell me if any of that year range are there I mean you had a computer and could do that like 6 years ago>idk just go walk around Are all of them just like this now?
i break into the junkyard at night with my van and i take what i want.
>>28797595A very small handful will let you on the junkyard grounds if you sign a waiver. I've been hurt the most by the disappearing of junkyards so I feel your pain. There's a couple chill ones but they're objectively hard to come by. Most just use computer systems to give you a yes or no answer for a specfic car, the issue is nobody there gives a fuck enough to actually document every single model, year, etc but instead of just letting you do it yourself risk be damned they pussy out by not wanting a lawsuit. I remember in 2011 sneaking into a junkyard to get a very specfic piece of trim for my first car (1978 dodge aspen) I was young and dumb but smart enough thanks to cartoons to throw bait to distract the junkyard dogs. Still got bit tho and got a jacket torn up jumping the wire fence in the process. Ah those were the days before surveillance poisoned the country.
>>28797595Yeah. All the small and interesting ones that were around in the 80s and 90s are gone. I'm lucky enough to have two giant ones within an hour's drive, but that's it. All of the others have cleared out the old stuff. Nothing before the early 2000's.
>>28797693I also noticed they all use the same cms for inventory but the Mexican working there for 8 bucks isn't updating shit they just see a door lock or a fender and charge you the rate. Unless you get there within a couple days of it first showing up expect it to be picked clean with their website telling you they have parts available. If it's small enough to be shipped you can probably get it cheaper on Amazon or eBay anyway. After my wife's car got hit i found the headlight and grill new on Amazon for 70 and 35, the junkyard that had then wanted 200 to 300 for each. Only the bumper made sense to get from the junkyard
>>28797976>MexicanMust be only your area because only Latinos in auto by me are mechanics not junkers. It's consistently been fringe rural whites that run junk yards in my life. Crystal meth being close behind.

>>28794264this is the most german looking thing I've ever seen
>>28793472So fucking cool
>>28792260Nice. I suppose the only thing I'd ask for more is an oil pressure reading, and removal of the whole range thing, since I never lose my sense of that. I drive an '03 Park Avenue that has a nice blue-green vacuum fluorescent display setup that projects the speed on the road ahead. the altitude and brightness of which can be adjusted in fine increments.

>>28792427I just want someone in the US to sell a 2600lb commuter car with at least 120hp and without a cvt again.I just need a small footprint, cheap 14-15'' tires, 6'' of ground clearance, and good visibility so I can drive to work and the grocery store, and cruise through the rural and forest preserve roads when I want to relax.
>>28797891In your pic you can see tire above the wheel rim. In his pic the wheel rim is right at the fender.Also, it is a Ford Ka.You are the dumbass.
