Is this a good small hack or is it worse because the cars look too far away?
>>29018270You got side mirrors also, use them.
>>29018270It's a GREAT hack. Literally one of the best purchases I've ever made. The advertisement is slightly exaggerated, but only slightly: using one of these convex mirrors, you can see through the center rear window and the right rear window simultaneously, but not center rear + right rear + left rear simultaneously.
Just use your rear facing camera and navigation RADAR screen ?
>>29018294it's definitely this, my camry's rear view mirror barely just fits the entire back window, but my old dodge has a much wider window so you move your head around and there's still more to see.

Can’t decide between these two cars. I want a v8 panther body for sure but there’s a 2004 Grand Marquis with 100k miles and a 2007 Lincoln Town Car with 170k. GM has a better body but rougher interior and I personally like it less. Town Car is beat up on the outside but interior is immaculate and it has a sunroof (I like that). Am I retarded to pass up the GM for those reasons? Picrel, it’s the Lincoln.
>>29018054I drove a crown vic for 7 years. Definitely get a town car if you can. Worth the increased price.
>>29018054Have you seen both in person yet? The Town Car seats have better leather and are more comfy. There's 6" more rear legroom and standard rear ventilation too. Overall it's just a nicer place to spend your time. And that 6" longer wheelbase and standard rear air springs make it ride better too. I've had '86, '95, '99, '01 and '05 Panthers. The only pluses for the Grand Marquis are the cable throttle since it's pre '05 and lower miles.
>>29018303that picrel looks like a solid rig
>>29018255You do know that both these cars have nigger aura, right?
>>29018255are you trying to look like a homeless drug addict?
Would have posted in a general but there was no Nissan gen here.I have a chance to get a great deal on a 2024 Nissan Versa S, but I am committed in trying to keep my privacy, so I want to disconnect anything that would spread telemetry of my car's usage data to the manufacturer. I read many Nissans have their TCUs behind the glove compartment but I have yet to see if this still holds true for the model I'm looking at. The bigger matter is that I've read DCing the TCU in a modern Nissan will also cause the entire Bluetooth system to fail, possibly even the radio. Are there known tutorials or schematics (obviously Nissan wouldn't publish any) to work around this? Also, I was told that disconnecting an internet antenna may also be warranted as that is how the vehicle connects to corporate in the first place. Is this different from the radio antenna, or are they one in the same? I read briefly that it is stored in a panel in the roof but couldn't find much more than that. I'm also opening the thread to discussing telemetry management and privacy practices for other makes and models. Is there a manufacturer that seems to be more consumer and privacy friendly with their policies or designs today?
>>29018395Just like how videogame publishers don't have to pay the manufacturing costs of physical and there for sell digital games for cheaper?
>>29018431if you're a PC gamer: yesif you're a console kiddie: no, plus you need to pay extra for online
>>29018441pro tip: they aren't cheaper on PC. No, sales don't count, we're talking about release price.
>>29017517Do not buy it. Do not give such kikes your money. Simple as. There are much better choices anyway. Nissans are pieces of shit.
On a related note, what if BMW bought out Nissan back in 1999 instead of Renault?
The Kia Sportage/Hoon Tucson twins are now the #2 bestselling non-full-sized truck sold, about 15,000 sales behind the Honda CR-V holding the #1 spot, with the caveat that the Toyota Rav-4 is transitioning to a new (well facelifted) version so that impacted their ability to sell. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/g71006285/bestselling-cars-2026/

How far should I go with this? I want to do everything in my garage. No outsourcing, i had the wheels powder coated, but thats it thus far. I have new body mounts installed. New bushings on all the control arms, i have new brake lines to install, a new chassis harness. Im indecisive how much painting and stuff i should do. Or if i should just start reassembling and worry about doing a frame off restoration later. Go with the beater look for awhile. Its surprisingly well kept. The dry dust layers kept the rust away.
>>29017309>hit every spot of surface rust before it becomes structuralCame here to post this.Get whatever can of gold or bronze paint thats "close enough" at home depot and seal that steel.My favorite car in my collection is on engine #4.(and im not even talking about swapping some Twisted Wedge heads for some AFRs).But once the cancer sets into the chassis its becomes a completely different ballgame.Yes that car has some custom repairs going on. Luckily I broke my teeth in the world doing sheetmetal so I can run a brake and shrinker/stretcher.But unless youre there already you'll lose interest in a year when shit goes south (fast) so a pre-emptive strike will be your savior on this project.
Ill give a complete rundown....Got the car new years day. Was going to keep it all original, but engine needed expensive work. So i got lucky with a good running LQ9, a 4L80E, all wiring and coolant fans for under $1000. I got new shocks, new springs, new bushings for all control arms, new body mounts, new nicopp brake and fuel lines, new 26gal gas tank, tanks inc pa4 fuel pump, new tie rods, idler arm, center link. I bought a new rear sway bar, was not originally equipped so i need to beef up the rear lower control arms. Im getting a new front sway bar, was backordered or whatever so hasn't shipped. Getting new rotors and drums, 265/60/17 general gmax tires or the Firestone Firehawk pursuit. I finally got the body mounts in last weekend, been busy with birthdays this weekend. But next i should have the front and rear suspension assembled and wheel wells back on. Need the car on its springs to get drive angle right. I might be over thinking the mounting situation. Part of me wants to do something custom so i can leave the accessories in the stock location. That just requires making my own motor mounts, which would be a first for me. Or buy all new accessory bracketry and ready made motor mounts...
Heres a straight on look. Im gonna go ahead and use some rust reformer in a can on everything i can get to.
>>29018399How’s the trunk? I had a 72. The trunk was all JB welded together.
>>29017341>But keeping the drumsif you'te gonna do some hard driving (unlikely but it really is fun) get a bolt on front disc conversion kit. there's a lot of options, especially for gm cars.>>29017461>3 speed / no lockups are silly (merely my opinion)for a daily definitely. it kinda hurts knowing my car could be a bit better even if it only had just a lockup converter.
How the fuck am I supposed to take the backing off of the tint? This is some bullshit
>>29018234Put the corner between your teeth and "grind" your teeth.
This is what happens when you buy those $7 tint sheets off amazon.

>>29018325Thanks Anon this actually worked, but I fucked it up anyway and tore it off. I'm just going to pay someone to do this

>>29018418>nobody in their right mind would complex gas engineDiesels are DI dohc 4 valvers with turbos. A lazy tuned, low rpm torque (2000 to 3500 rpm primary induction design point) big NA gasser on multiport injection is hella more reliable.I know what I said!
>>29016299Push rod engines have a far more complex valve train which results in far more failures you wrenchlet
>>29018480Rolls aren't that big. A Highlander is going to eclipse a Phantom. They look small compared to the average vehicle on the roads (a pickup truck).>>29018663DOHC diesels have gear driven valvetrains. That's not the same as a gasser that uses 60 feet of timing chain resting on plastic guides to move it's gear train. >>29018665Yes pushrods are so unreliable yet plane engines use pushrods. Hmmm.
>>29018710>this retarded cope againPlanes also use Subaru engines and no one would pretend those are reliable
Redpill me on engine braking vs normal braking
>>29016098No, it's the pistons, the part of your engine that can handle explosions tens of times per second.
>>29016098It's called engine braking, not gearbox or drivetrain braking
>>29016114bus rider
>>29016819so what is the answer then?
I do it on my motorcycle. I need a new chain and sprocket like every 2 years. Not sure if that is the average life. But I also don't clean it. 50K miles and front brake pads barely got replaced.

>>29018617i certainly do
i have a 2006 mercury grand marquis. i was sitting in the drive thru and the temp gauge was high. i shut off the car for a bit while waiting then when i got my food i turned off the A/C and drove home. while i was driving, the temp went back down to normal. i got to my driveway and parked, then turned the a/c on and the temp slowly went back up. idk if the AC changed anything. i also didn't see fluid in the coolant reservoir jiggling when i shook the car, though i'm not sure about that because it's an old and not easy to see through reservoir and i didn't want to open it just in case if it were higher pressure. i recall the fan being on and feeling the wind even underneath the car when i was looking in the drivewaywtf
>>29018172It's a ford.
>>29017381>i was sitting in the drive thru and the temp gauge was high.>while i was driving, the temp went back down to normal.This indicates an Airflow problem as the *Primary* problem.Secondary problems, such as low coolant levels, marginal water pump, can aggravate the situation.Having said that, I would *first* check the PWM module, which controls the Duty Cycle and thus RPM of your single electric fan.You might want to just buy a new one, if it's cheap, ie less $50.That's a quick way to isolate the source of the problem.How to Test the PWM Fan System1.Start the car and let it idle. 2. Turn the A/C on to Max/High. Because the A/C pressure sensor overrides the temperature logic, the fan should ramp up to a noticeably loud, high speed

Has anyone her ever transferred/swapped a lease before? Thinking about using something like leasehackr or swapalease to try to transfer my lease. The car is nice, I just want to buy something used instead of paying into the rest of the lease.
