Nice weather we’re having, post and discuss cabriolets, targas, anything which has a removable roof. Speedsters and roadsters also welcome.
>>29015381>>29015791these are great and broncos are cool too outside of america you just don’t understand how accommodating american infrastructure is to large vehicles and how much open space there is to actually use them off road
>>29015075What a cute lil fella oh my God. Nice tires too.
>>29014741Z3 owner here. Really annoying that basically every other convertible here has hardtops for sale right now in my country (E36 Cabrio, E46 Cabrio, E85 Z4, NA/NB MX5, Porsche Boxster) but zero Z3 hardtops for sale. I'm not sure about the percentages but I'd think the Z3 hardtop would be even more common than at least few of those in the list.
>>29015804Thanks, the Miata is like a happiness generator.

>>29016360I don't think I could drive with a co-driver yapping in my ear either.
>>29016363I have Dirt Rally 2.0. I didn’t think I’d like the constant callouts, but it didn’t take long to get used to internalizing them without much mental energy. I don’t know the courses yet, but I know what “3 left don’t cut means. It really helps. For a lot of the slower cars the number callout is the same as the gear you need for the corner so you can roughly tell what speed to approach at.I’d probably fight with the human version.

>in five years time the russian cobbled-together BMWs are highly sought after for being significantly more reliable and actually repairable compared to the kraut technogarbage
>>29015971>>29015977>BMWs with next to no electronic nannies or bullshit equipment >Biggest Non-emissions compliant engine stuck into a shitbox spec chassisWelcome back, Bavaria BMW, we missed you
>>29015977>>29015988Doubtful, they're getting a lot of parts from China. You can buy shitty knockoffs of just about any car part from China for dirt cheap, so they're no doubt finishing them off with some AliExpress garbage inside.
>>29014606>Russians are often intelligent Nah, they're usually drunkards that are as sophisticated as 2 marbles rolling around in a bucket. All by design too, the tsars and Stalin kept those state ran vodka production lines pumpin' and as the booze flowed, the IQ got low.>t. Kraut's video on Russians and vodka on youtube
>>29014553I'm pretty sure they have access to Chinese car parts but yeah it's basically built on lowest-bidder aftermarket slop.
>>29016187I had a Polo with the 1.6 TDI and that engine was a POS. although it did get decent fuel mileage when it worked properly.

Is a 2017 6L V8 Caprice /o/ approved?
I bought a v6 challenger specifically to make autistic fags upset and it works
>>29016324I'd rather have a V6 Charger just for the convenience of having a seethe sedan.
Can you disable the "driver attention" camera in hands free driving cars but still make the auto-driving work without you having to look straight ahead 100% of the time? My car has hands free but just a torque sensor in the wheel and no camera, but I figure any future car will have a camera and a nanny system, can this be defeated?
>>29016079Why? Your car is designed to roll, so if the brake fails or it pops out of gear on a hill it will roll away. How many mechanical or computer faults does it take before a car designed to drive itself drives itself at an inappropriate time?
>>29016178There's tons of videos of gas cars doing that.
>>29014567They'd have to shut off every deep fryer in America to keep my truck down.
>>29012502weird ass frog usage unsettling thread
>>29016274I have a car with hands free driving and no camera, but every newer car adds a camera and I wonder if it could be disabled without turning off the hands free driving. How is that weird? I thought it was a cute frog.
This is the thread for sharing excellent automotive lifehacks and traffic bypass tips.>Brampton Turn: making a right on red only to whip a u-turn and make another right or go straight. They do the u-turn part in the intersection so it's just running the red light with extra steps.(Timmies and dalits are not welcome in this thread. Do NOT post if you are lower caste, bloody basterds.)
Most poos wont even care about running a red
Poos can't even pull over near to the curb when they decide to just stop in a live lane. They can't even pull into the gas station bathroom to take a massive dump. Poos can't even admit that they're currently defecating even if there is literal shit being extruded from between their ass crack and the chair, being caught on live video.
get back in the factory and make me more challys you turban headed cow piss drinker
Timmy's would drive off a cliff if their GPS said to do so lol.Must be why their women constantly fuck around with men of other races
Are wilwood brakes any good?I can't say I trust my OE brakes very much.I've put HPS pads & high temp DOT4 on, but still don't have the confidence I want in them.

>>29013810So assuming your "deflector" is just the dust shield with a hole cut in it, You're just cooling the back side of the rotor. Different rates of thermal expansion etc, youre gonna end up with a concave rotor like this. You need to direct air through the middle of the rotor with your setup so it evenly cools the front and back face of the rotor evenly.
>>29014340Damn anon, you are dumb as fuck.Like fuck bro.
>>29012527Wilwood are cheap off the shelf slop
>>29012527I'll let you know.I bought the Spec Corvette racing kit but haven't installed it yet.

>>29014211>i-i'm making fun of you, b-bitch
>>29014155Yes.That's the point.OP stated that there is no "parasitic power loss" on drive by wire. Which is a lie.

>>29015230what happened in 2016
>>29015462wouldn't everyone like to know.It's like we jumped timelines.
>>29015188They still do.
>>29015464Feels to be that was 2001
Probably. I imagine that there were guys in the late 70s and 80s who felt pretty ripped off about the new cars they got vs the new options their parents had, but it eventually got better. Our situation is different though because there are no longer mountains of dirt cheap cool cars on the used market to cultivate the next generation of enthusiasts, and the future of automobiles is looking more and more like smartphones on wheels, so we will find out what happens.

>>29015866funny enough, cognac brown is supposed to have a reddish hue to it and isn't just a neutral brown like the photo. it's generally a nice looking leather
>>29015504>just bought a 2025 992.2 carre(No you didnt
>>29016144you just sound gay as fuck typing that kind of shit out, like dudes not talking about the engine, transmission, suspension, differential hes talking about the color of the leather kek. you cant cure that shit its a ricer and wrenchlet disease.
And why is Mercedes Benz and Jaguar?>Only Euro brands to shove Supercharged V6 and V8 engines in their standard models>Only mainstream Euro brands to make real supercars (XJR-15, XJ220, and CLK-GTR)>Only mainstream Euro brands with real motorsport history (both in Le Mans and F1)

>>29016093Manualle?
>>29016158normally id bitch about no manual option making it a ricer car but its a mercedes after all, they have never given a shit about manuals. the problem is the leds, fake vents and plastic engine.
You fall in love with an expensive car and take a look inside for the first time.This is what you’re dealing with.You’re honest reaction?
>>29014229>This is what you’re dealing with.I mean, they're selling to minorities. Of course the interior looks hard wearing and also fragile at the same time.
>>29014329This.OP is a faggot, thread over
>>29014373>Also a headache to park without a bazillion cameras since you can't see shit with all that elevation from the parking lines.I guess its a good thing that every SUV made in the last decade has a bazillion cameras on it.

>starter went out 900 miles from home coming back from a road trip>$1,100 to get it fixed at a local shop>had to push back returning dates, work, hotel reservations
>>29014131>I hope you find a path outside the military. Maybe something creative. I've seen people get mentally destroyed by the military.I... have been in the latter group. After some 2014 Obama era law you can't even work software for any civilian company that has federal contracts without a secret clearance. I was a senior in software engineering when that passed. You have to not have done weed in 3 years to get any clearance, but rapists, traitors, and thieves can get hired any day.
>>29014138>You have to not have done weed in 3 years to get any clearance,um wat they can't test for that weed tests maybe go back a month unless they are doing hair testingalso just encourages alcoholism government and military are not my favorite aspects of america it seems like regimentation and wasting money are the point I called the DEA once to tell them I smoke weed and to ask why they don't arrest me for that and they told me not to call again.
>>29014108Cleveland is fine these day, my job is ~20 minutes out in the suburbs, it's just easier to say Cleveland in a space like this. Cuyahoga Valley NP is so goddamn beautiful that it feels like some sort of cosmic fuckup that it's actually in Ohio.
>>29014158>um wat they can't test for that weed tests maybe go back a month unless they are doing hair testingI've failed over 100 days from urine tests. That's over 3 months.I wouldn't lie to the feds. I'd rather neet it up or work retail than work for the gov't knowing that they could dig up evidence of me lying at any time. They probably don't care, but I can't handle that kind of mental worry every day. Not worth it to me.
>>29012316Not terrible in comparison to other but. Driving on a busy 4 lane highway at night in my Avalon with 4 people. Highway has no overhead lights. All of the sudden, my battery fails and I lose all electricity completely. No lights outside or inside my vehicle. Headlights gone, and I assume tail/brake lights as well of course. Inside lights completely out. No gauges. Literally zero visibility except what other car's headlights can see. Engine running fine though. I managed to carefully and calmly pull off onto the next exit and into an O'Reilly's that happened to be open. Replaced the alternator and battery right there in the parking lot. Took about 4 hours, and we were on our way. Thankfully I am not a wrenchlet and also kept a full set of Metric wrenches and sockets in my trunk because I use all my SAE at work.
You know you've struck gold when you find an old forum post or personal website with an image like this.Car communities used to be pretty close knit and knowledgable... how it's all facebook groups with idiots.What happened?
>>29015291Ive been here since guilty crown threads on /a/ circa 2011 and I can tell you that crypto redditors were browsing this place even then. The only ones scared off were the easily offended ones but there are subreddits that are dedicated to doing nothing but grabbing screencaps off 4nigs and to my knowledge they're still doing it.
>>29015291>>29015304Also, if you've ever browsed /an/ for any length of time you would realize it's reddit lite.
>>29013766That old internet culture is long gone bro. People gotta be spoonfed everything despite all the information being at their fingertips
>>29015291you didn't do shit bro2016 was when this site got flooded with reddit boomer election tourists
>>29016099It's been deliberately made shit, obfuscated and hard to navigate to herd people towards AI assistants. The information is out there but search engines won't bring it up.
