>>28847238>.000000000001MBVs >5x the lumensCope more, faggot.
>>28847227I get that you think bigger # universally means better, but it simply doesn't.When you talk about meaningful improvements in visibility and drivability, there's a clear point of diminishing returns. You keep talking as if a tighter beam pattern and higher total lumens is universally better - it's not. As the peak luminosity of the beam goes up, you quickly reach a point where it starts to wash everything out. You begin to lose the visual contrast that makes actually seeing what you're looking at possible. You also start to dilate your pupils more and more. So you've got less light out to the sides, and more dilated pupils, and the shit in the center washed out. So maybe you can see in a strict sense shit farther down the road, but you cant's see shit in your peripheral at all because the contrast is shot.On most cars with sealed beams you had 4 headlights. Converting to an H4 will give a meaningful improvement in overall visibility without getting into the problems described above.
>>28847662>and the shit in the center washed outYa im sure thats exactly why pic related are running 100,000 lumens.>So you've got less light out to the sides,Literally why I was talking shit about sealed beam housings with H4s. The pattern sucks.You've never driven a modern vehicle and it shows. New headlights have a wider pattern that lights up the shoulder of the road- i covered that earlier.You thought you sounded all smart and knowledgeable when you were typing that all out but you are wrong on every aspect. Atleast do some research next time instead of pulling some pseudo-related 8th grade science class shit out of your ass without actually knowing the physical characteristics of what your trying to debase.
>>28847680>Ya im sure thats exactly why pic related are running 100,000 lumens.but those are just throwing the light all ahead of the vehicle. they don't need cutoffs etc. because it's a race car
I think I mad a mistake. I can just return the car and get my money back, right?
>>28839509They don't call them stealerships for no reason.
>>28839509>1,258 dollars to register the car at the DMV which someone could do themselves>$4,845 "service" contract for some oil changes at 10k+ miles>3,990 for a fucking car washWe don't firebomb dealers enough
>>28847576Kek it's crazy how new car buyers pay that shit and than act like they took the dealer's asshole for a ride, the Nick Rochefort "I got a great deal, I killed the guy" meme is real, nothing wrong with buying a new car, but understand that there is no such thing as a "good deal" on a new car, it is extremely expensive because it is new.
>>28839509>I think I mad a mistake.You sure did lmao>I can just return the car and get my money back, right?Nope, it's too late. Don't overthink the consequences and pray the powertrain survives the duration of the loan. Also pic related, wtf cosmetic dealer ad-on cost $3k
If you have enough cash to afford the vehicle outright, and the cost of interest on your loan is less than what you’d make by just sticking that cash in a sp500 fund, why not finance

>>28846166When inches either side is the difference between glory and fail work gets old quickly.I know someone that rolled a truck full of used tampons. A f* truck full of used tampons.
>>28846397Imagine the smell.
>>28846395>Verona isn't exactly a secretWell, shit.Still, it’s nice to see it’s never full… then again I suppose the handful of service areas and couple of large truck stops along I-90 seem to help keep it from ever filling up.
>>28846391I’ve have only spent a couple of hours delivering or picking up in NJ, so I haven’t been to any of its truck stops besides the TA in Bloomsbury, NJ. That particular TA is a fucking shithole compared to the other TAs I’ve been to – there’s mold in the showers. Other than that, the only other truck stops I’ve been to, near NJ is a Flying J and a former One9 in Elkton, Maryland. PFJs can be good places for late parking and the former One9 (now an Exxon) was sort of off the beaten path, so there’s at least one parking spot open any time of day, despite it being a small lot.
Speaking of New York, I-81 may be beaten to fuck, up there, but driving past Cortland makes the trip worth it.
Why don't you have the courage to get a non black/white/gray car?
>>28845386honestly i really just wanna meet a twink so i can grab them by the ankles and do the mario 64 bowser swing.i think it'd be funny to see how far i can throw them
>>28839586I paid way below market for my bright red truck (like $8k under average for the year/mileage/options), after it had sat on the lot for ages while monochrome ones came and went. I always figured it was due to the color.
>>28839550>>28839560good lord this is grim. like yeah the second picture is colorful, but its literally garage queen classic cars, almost none of those things are driven more then maybe the weekend. the first picture is actually daily drivers and its basically....dark blue....white....red. damn thats fuckin grim

Are my Falken Wildpeak AT4Ws immune to ice in a way the Wildpeak AT3Ws were not?t. headed into the mountains soonit's supposed to be 60 in the valley but there will still be snow at the higher elevations and the warmer temps might make for a slushy mess.
>>28846737You should not be operating a motor vehicle. Start with a bicycle, remove the brakes once you get the basics down.
>>28846741I had a bike with studded tires once when I lived in a truly cold place. That was fun.
>>28846714They're not the best on ice compared to the competition but they're still likely good enough to not get you killed. https://youtu.be/LS8JI2FD6-o?t=457
>>28846714My Frontier with Rubitreks that's front heavy because it has a brush guard and no weight in the bed in 4 wheel could go anywhere I wanted with no difficulty or even need for caution, and even in 2 wheel I could struggle up the hill I live in when it was fully covered and come to a complete solid stop when braking going down hill.
>>28846714that's a battle axe blade bro
I’ve seen a lot of these box truck rv conversions lately. I’ve seen builds with a full proper shower, toilet, kitchen, and even one with a spot for a motorcycle. These things actually seem livable, especially with rent being so high.The question is, are they actually viable? Does it really come out to be cheaper than renting an apartment, and can you actually find places to park and be left alone?
>>28843734I know you're not in the US but that is based US Forest Service green
>>28845607its still cheaper than starting from scratch in termsn of material costs
>>28843698The only people who actually van life have trust funds. Once you actually crunch the numbers it's cheaper and more convenient to rent some small apartment.
>>28843698The convert a truck and live in it thing is a meme made up by youtubers for clicks. What I did was get cheep busu-sama and mount a receiver on it to tow a travel trailer with. Boondocking (no hookup camping) is fine sometimes, but if you live in it go stay at an rv park. Usually $400-600 a month depending on your locale, sometimes more. You give up a lot of conveniences living in a camper already, so limited amounts of runnung water, electricity, and sewage capacity gets old quick. Box vehicle + trailer is long, but gives you way more room to store shit. I paid $4500 for this bus with a 5.9 cummins that had 80k miles on it. Its not much cheaper than a cheapo apartment overall, but I own the bus and trailer outright and get to move around to cool places working temp jobs while seeing great sights and sometimes even putting away a little dosh.Like >>28844217 said, getting some land is the best case scenario if you can save up the cash, but moving around a few times a year is a great experience too. Whatever floats your boat.
>>28843734It cost me $4000 to buy a used class B RV with a toilet. No work needed.
>driving a slow car fast is more fun than driving a fast car slowOk but why can't I drive a fast car fast?
>>28847250> But if the conditions don't allow you tobasically just getting cucked by the police, not just in a fast car but also one that looks flashy (since faster cars generally look more interesting) it's not about danger >>28847257trvke. excessive muscles look ugly as fuck
I drive my fast car normally and about the speed limit on 2 lane roads and then use my gratuitous amount of power to fuck with people when they get mad I'm obeying the law and try to pass me on the double yellow. Infinitely more fun than just driving fast all the time.
>>28844363>2005 Mustang can't be driven fast in any scenario with any bends or turns due to the 1970s suspensionRetarded take, they can be driven very fast, especially with some better springs and dampers. The live axle only hurts you if you hit a bump mid-corner.
>>28844352the cops that aren't rocking SUVs have vehicles that can sustain 155mph now. Very limited pool of vehicles that can outpace that, very few spots to do it, even fewer drivers capable of handling it.The days of tuning a Japanese car and leaving Crown Vic in the dust to fishtail themselves into oblivion are over.
>>28844352>Ok but why can't I drive a fast car fast?Cops, lack of skill, inadequate roads.
How much would this cost if this were a Toyota and used a scaled down G16E to 275hp?
>>28847081>he doesn't know
>>28846493I've driven a Elantra N at the autocross. It's actually pretty decent for what it is. I don't think I'd ever buy one but it's definitely not a bad car. It's much much faster than you think it would be.It was running 200tw tires.I don't think you would hold up at a track day though.
>>28846493>how much would this cost if it were a different car?
>>28847114Try again, Hyundai shill.
>>28847239Bro, I drive a Turd gen.
>bike guys when electronics>car guys when no electronics
>>28847281Sis, you clearly live under a rock and it shows. Try not to scuff your nails when you crawl out from underneath it. Plenty of fags that act those ways, if you can't see it. Then that means you're one of them.
>>28846478No fuel gauge is a bit too far for me.
>>28847389it's really not bad. My other bike has no fuel gauge, when I fill it I just reset the trip-meter, and I'll run out when it gets to ~320 km. If I get it wrong, no problem, just pull a switch and use the reserve.
>>28847397what would you do if you had no fuel gauge and no trip meter?
>>28847404just use the odometer? that would actually be a pain
Now that Trump is getting rid of all the EPA rules, will we finally get the Hilux?
>>28843879Hilux is nothing special. Ranger is better.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS96E3zvexM
>>28844731Even before Bondi's hilarious Epstein melty, the ICE shenanigans had cost Trump and the Republican Party 20 points of approval, leading to things like an unexpected 18% swing to Democrat in a special election for what should have been a safely Republican district in Texas of all places. They were on track for a historically bad midterms even before the administration decided to play fuck-fuck games with the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act.
>>28843879Trump on does shit if there is a company willing to let him grift. The American brands aren't going to pay to kill the chicken tax and Toyota won't bother since they would be cannibalizing their Taco/Tundra sales with a cheaper truck.

>>28846106Is this an anti bot bot. Are we finally seeing the end of Vogonity.Do you know you have an extra start stop battery that is tasked to fcuk your starter motor up umpty times a day. Are you aware how much those Items cost to replace every other year if you use them.Someone mechanic enabled that button in my car today. If I find them again I will fcuk them up.
Good, now, kill CD, EGR, PCV
>watch classic car racing>old-fashioned treaded bias ply tires promote a very entertaining, slidy driving style and last forever>relatively basic suspension (such as live rear axles) makes many of the cars even more oversteery>lack of downforce means a lack of worry about dirty air>many cars have the aerodynamics of a brick, so slipstreaming is incredibly effectiveClassic cars have so many characteristics that result in very close, entertaining racing. I honestly don't understand why modern racing can't borrow certain characteristics from classic racing. Classic cars are expensive and it hurts to see some of them crash, so why not have modern race cars with vintage characteristics?
>>28845111No, OP is asking for a version of football where it's all about who is best at football. If football was like modern motorsports, the cleats would be artificially designed to wear down after 10 minutes and the teams have to "strategically" decide when to change their shoes in order to win, all because the ball design is so retarded that you can only score when you have a major shoe advantage.
>>28841781Our local classic racing cup kind of imploded when they figured out that the non-classic cup tosses out semi-slicks with one race left in them. Half of the people hated the change from slidey road tires to slicks, quarter loved them because they are 3 seconds faster, other quarter loved them because it's free shit, and one guy who's always out to win just bought brand new slicks and loved beating everyone. In a couple years the field halved, free shit ended, everyone's on new slicks and cars can't handle it anymore, breaking axles and suspensions.
>>28845536>the ball design is so retarded that you can only score when you have a major shoe advantageWonderful sentence.
>>28845111Classic cars are generally more suitable for an actual test of car control and racing skills, especially if there is relative parity in terms of performance.Modern cars suffer from poor raceability in almost every category, and because of that many series have bullshit compensatory rules to drum up artificial drama. NASCAR literally is /pw/ on wheels and F1 isn't far behind.Longer braking zones, no dirty air and trickier cars aren't fakery, DRS, ridiculous energy deployment rules and bullshit cautions are.
