The solution is obvious we need ev horses.
Did you cruise in the left lane today, as is your right?
>>27982179No he didn’t. Speed remains 71-72 the entire time the black truck is trying to merge. It drops from 75 well before the truck doesn’t anything.
>>27979686Yeah. Got pulled over for doing 71 mph on cruise control in a 55mph. He dropped it to 5 over and didn't say anything about my 3 year old expired tags.
>>27981099That's actually a blue shirt.
>>27983087The alternative was using his brakes to slow down. Truck pulls out from behind the guy in the beginning of the clip, so there's at least a cars length between pink guy and the car behind. So yes, easily the best thing to do was brake.
Pink shirt only had to brake a tiny bit and both people would not have any damage to their cuckhiclesFucking lmao
The quicker the better

Amerifrends, tell us more about this lost brand - Studebaker.How the fuck did they disappear into nothingness?I heard an oldtimer from Indiana talking about how the studebaker was better than ford/chevy and they had a coupe that did not spontaneously combust on rear end impact unlike mustang and how when the company closed the Mercedes people came and bought all the machinery to bring back home as it was state-of-the-art stuff lol.
I went to the museum in South Bend a few days ago. Had no idea of their history as wagon builders before getting into cars, plus that they made EVs before turning to combustion cars

>>27986873Typically was in the form of centrifugal superchargers, but they were extremely common in aircraft by the end of WW2. Kind of a natural extension to factory-built autos.
I just adore the 1953 Studebaker. Such a low and sleek car, without being gaudy like other American cars of it's era

Why won't they give the WRX more power?
>>27983340Toyota owns part of Subaru. Toyota didn't want a new STI to compete with the Supra, GR86, and hot hatch GRMN Yaris. Subaru is back to being a lesbian utility vehicle company. Toyota is back in the sports car market.

Official The Grand Tour finale thread. Torrents are up edition.I remember ever since I started coming here 15-odd years ago, whenever a new Top Gear episode came out, we'd all head on over to FinalGear and torrent the newest episode in 360p, then have a good long thread about it, but eventually everyone stopped and we never really made a big deal of new episodes of Top Gear or The Grand Tour any more.Well what's say we do it one last time for old times sake?
>>27982278I think I was sad not because the trio is no longer working together - it really feels like the world as we know it is over. The passion, liberty, honesty in motoring is being replaced by soulless chink cars designed around legislation made by slimey Jews and you can only drive it around stinky Brown people.Top gear and grand tour was the world of the boomers and gen x. Millenials only got a glimpse. We now have to do what we can in the dystopia that is real lifeAnd yes, most everything on TV now not only is poor quality, but is outright propaganda and demoralisation
>>27985610>Leaving apartment yesterday >Kia Niro is backing into a spot>It's beeping like a clown car would in a dystopian version of Wall-E >Not only is this regulated by the gov on all EVs...KIA has to go and make it a humiliation ritual in the sake of "safety".The world top gear showed on tv is ending, anon. Clarkson nodded to this in the episode.
>>27982839It's anyway, not anyways.
>>27987271Oh noAnyway
>>27987329Same say he was a faggot others say he's op all I know is he's skibidi
Holy shit, I saw one of these Mavericks in real life today and looks like such a third world shitbox cope of a truck. The nissan Sentra sitting next to it looked cool and sporty compared to this turd of a "truck".I seriously hope you guys don't think this is an option for a self-respecting individual.
>>27984947Yes. Why wouldn't it be? It's a body on frame truck. It doesn't matter if it's the "wagon" or the pickup style, it's still a truck regardless.
>>27982627>The nissan Sentra sitting next to it looked cool and sporty you wouldn't happen to be a fat black lardass would you?
>>27987201Its a unibody
>>27987240Who told you that? Do you know what that means?
>>27987246My bad I got it mixed up with its replacement the JLTV which is unibody.
can I learn real world maintenance and repair skills from playing car mechanic simulator?
>>27986331Not really but you'll feel alot better and less intimidated going into it. Play My Summer Car, that helped me. Did my first transmission swap 3 months ago then had a guy come to me for a clutch job for 400$ (front wheel drive cars). Most I've ever made from playing video games.
>>27986969Yeah play my summer car op it's based and feels like exaggerated form of real life wrenching
>>27987094Yea
>>27986421yeah but this is a simulator game
>>27986331You can learn they very, very basic fundamentals. Like at most it's like a "You should know" primer before joining a mechanic school

>1.5L wankel left>1.5L wankel rightif you set them to opposite rotations you get perfect engine balance. Gentlemen, the next generation of power.
>>27984248Use a coaxial counter-rotating axle. Super common in the aviation industry.That way you can significantly reduce the total volume.
>>27984374>connect them with gears to a shared output shaftthey have no choice but to stay in sync
>>27984374What if you were to instead use a series hybrid powertrain with no physical linkages, each engine turning a flywheel that drives a generator and exploit the ability to intentionally take them out of phase?That would enable using them to change the cornering behavior of the car.
>>27984248Aren't they already balanced since it just spins with a uniform shape?

will using ethanol free fuel be better for my car long term? it's octane 90 versus the typical 87
>>27985192I've heard of some chemicals being called "high test" before, but never gasoline.For example, very high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide in water are sometimes called high-test peroxide (HTP), especially when used in rocket engines.
>>27985086
>>27985045Wanna go ahead and source that for us?This is what chatGPT has to say. > Agitation does not lower octane rating. Octane rating is based on the temperature and pressure required to ignite a fuel, and the rate at which it combusts
>>27985086I've come across 91 or 92 occasionally in many eastern states. I used to run a 1.5 bar 93/94 tune so I noticed. Some stations cheap out and hope nobody notices the number.
>>27983606>>27983848Those are LEGAL minimums, not what you might actually find at the pump. I'm in Illinois and I've never seen 91 octane as premium, only 93.
>dude just buy a Toyota is relia-ACK
>>27986682The Honda Ridgline is not a real truck (NART).
>>27987085No, it's not. But it can do anything a Real Truck can do besides tough off-roading or towing more than 5k. But how many trucks on the road actually do either of those?
