>>29148301My first year of riding, I was following my friend. He had CBR600 and rode it rather aggressively. I had CB500 and rode more conservatively. The road was winding forest road. Coming up a turn with bad visibility, it was sharper than I expected, but I was going to make it. Except there was a tree root bumping up asphalt right on the entry into the turn. I caught the bump, it lifted by front wheel and I flew out of the turn into young birch forest like picrelated. Broke several thin tree trunks with my bike and fell against a thicker one hitting my head in helmet. Bike fell over my foot which was thankfully in a full boot & knees with all the protection.It took me 30 minutes to get the bike out of the ditch and back onto the road. My friend was so absorbed in his ride he didn't come back until then.In the end, I got away with mild ankle bruise from bike falling over it. Walked it off in 2 days.All of my other crashes were low-speed on dirt or gravel. One time I nicked right side of car that turned right into me while I was lane-splitting near jammed right turn. I didn't even fall and he had more damage than me due to crash bars. I got burn marks on my pants and jacket from the friction though.
>>29148203>>29148328Yeah nakeds are only good for summertime in California or southern Italy. Touring windshield is the first thing I buy on every bike. I took plastic off my "sport tourer" and knees immediately get chilly in current weather.
Question, would you choose1. A bike that meets all your aesthetic wants but is underwhelming in power/suspension and has barely any modifications available.2. A bike that feels perfect ergonomically but has mod options to make it aesthetically and perform close to what you want.3. An ugly bike that performs well, is cheap, and fits your needs.
I found a manual transmission 2022 Toyota Corolla XSE with around 70,000 mileage for around $20K. Is this a good deal? I got into a collision (hydroplaned) this morning and damaged the front end driver corner on my 2007 Corolla CE (manual) and thankfully nobody was injured. I got my car back from the tow company and it still turns on somehow. I was pre-approved for up to $28.5K with my credit union, but I'll try to negotiate the XSE down to $17.5K or have the dealer meet me halfway. I'm not a gearhead, so any insight from experienced anons would be appreciated. First post on /o/, btw. Thank you in advance.
>>29148223Yeah and the market says a brand new corolla isn’t much more than this. 20k on a used corolla with this many miles simply makes no sense.
>>29148623yeah cool but I don't want autoshit
>>29148623>>29148633 (Me)I'm going to negotiate this car to something between $17K-18K realistically so OTD is below $20K.
>>29148623NTA but are the CVTs in the newer Corollas any good?
>>29148688I don’t own a corolla but I believe they have proven reliable if that’s what you’re asking. But I guess not as fun as a manual so now OP is gonna overpay for a commuter car so he can pretend to be an enthusiast or something. To each their own.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQelW85wo-ghttps://sportscar365.com/super-gt/ishiura-value-of-gt-gt3-early-race-debut-already-clear/>Rookie Racing will become the first team to race Toyota’s new GT3 weapon that is set to be rolled out in various championships worldwide next season, running the car in ‘concept’ form in place of the Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo it has used until now.Because the car is considered an ‘open’ entry, it means Ishiura and co-driver Tokiya Suzuki are not eligible to score drivers’ points in either of the 250km races.
>>29145157They didn’t have a platform to switch to. They also had no customers. Basically a Frankenstein car that couldn’t be worked on without the factory support
>>29145840Supra was free for Toyota. It was a no brainer opportunity
>>29145157>was it?Yes. The previous president of TRD said that taking it racing was a last-minute decision so the car ended up too heavy and very draggy. The RC was at one point built to have a convertible down the line that necessitated the extra structure and weight, but then the production convertible never materialized so it ended up with all that extra weight for no reason. > you'd think they wouldn't race it for 10 years if it was that badThey had nothing else and BoP helped keep it competitive. No real point in going through the FIA rigmarole.
>>29144956I love this fucker like you wouldn't believe
>>29148800Saw them in person at Fuji Speedway. First ever race I ever attended, they sounded amazing.
Why do posers always hold the steering wheel in the strangest way?
Try holding the wheel at 2 and 10 except put your right hand on 10 and left hand on 2Don't actually do that while you're moving
>that limp-wristed, palm-up, half-hearted pinch of the bottom of the wheel between thumb and index that normiecattle do to try and appear more casual/cool
>>29144897>buy car >this exact spot of the steering wheel is worn down based
>>29144573for me it's hand at the top of the wheel. every time i try it, it just feels really awkward. i dunno how people can drive like that

>>29143489i used to ride the sidewalks and under the highway on foot paths on my one. then the cops saw it parked outside and knocked on the door. from that day on, i never let another car pass me and rode those 55 mph highways dead center of the lane at 35 mph with a 0-60 of neversorry traffic. its the law.
>>29147148Thanks!!
>>29147246i try to be courteous on mine but the rule is if anyone close passes me, i take the lane as obnoxiously as possiblei have never once made it to work without having to do it. cagers are all absolute retard niggers
>>29143489there are much worse things to be known for in town.
Otherwise even the normies would realize how much better things used to be.This is what they took from us.>picrel: what used to be a cheap italian shitbox is now high-art compared to nuCars.
>>29148589>Ford Probe partsoof, RIP.
>>29148738I already committed to basically saving this car so I can't back out anymore. Paid out the ass to get most of the rust to be dealt with, and it's still not all done, and I still have a few mechanical niggles to deal with but it is what it is.
>>29148743KLZE>KLDE
>>29148764I know but right now I just want a working car with as little rust as possible. I also have the turd gen to take care of and it's not making it any easier either.

I lived with her over the summer and when I drove it every single stop I would race people and nobody ever even came close. any slightly fast looking car or young guy would be extremely easy to goad into racing, and I destroyed them every single time, over and over, then went down to the speed limit while they seethed at me. it was so dominant over every other car on the road back then.

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.
why is a month old thread about Scotty Kilmer on the catalog?

>>29144409I think cristfix had a video about that, white smoke during startup only?

>>29143612Imagine reposessing this mf
>>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.

>>29147749Wait you seriously believe no ICE car ever had a fire related recall before?
>>29148510Well sure there has, I just don't autistically keep up mental records of everything though. Quick googling shows that most recent ones that aren't EV battery fires are related to electrical systems.
>>29148523So do you think it would be a valid argument against any and all gas powered vehicles if I said "sometimes they catch on fire"
Let me guess. You need more?
>>29148557drifting when it snows, next question.
>>29148582AWD is better for that particular usecase tho
>>29148586no, awd is too grippy on snow. also steering does too much when awd drifting, which is boring.

>>29148590Agreed.

>>29147629It inexplicably pisses me off irrationally that they gave that car the "Taurus" name. Just like when they slapped the "Mustang" name on a fancy golf cart.
