Would Hummer H2 be considered normally sized in America if it came out today?
our new hummer literally weighs over 9000 pounds
>>28776275they are too heavy to be used adequately off road and are correctly deemed fuel inefficient. but theyre a fantastic flex symbol and probably fun to drive down some two tracksalways wanted a yellow hummer. it arguably represents the peak of the pax americana

I have been looking at shitboxes for a few weeks now, picrel caught my eye>daihatsu cuore (mira)>a bit over 700kg>1 liter 60hp 3cyl>is built to be a kei car, but has a larger capacity engine in EUhas anyone had any experience with these? there is so little info on the world wide webs
>>28778323Dacia Sandero
>>28778388oh and clutches can wear a bit quicker, partly because of the 3cyl power delivery and partly because a lot of the owners are really oldWith Daihatsus you basically have the choice between shitboxes on their last legs and almost pristine, barely driven examples that belonged to old fucks

How do you get good at wrenching cars?
>>28778555he's still extremely goodyour problem is you're watching later videos in a series, after he's already sorted the car mechanically, and he's moved on to full-on restoration/glow up/moddingjust watch the first few episodes in each series eg right now, im very eager to watch him sort out the bentley and his rumored new daily
>>28778154Yeah I don't really care I'm complaining they are pieces of shit.
>>28778574I seen them all. I followed him from fist viedoes when he mostly worked on 850i. Dude literally running out of content. Who the fuck care about bently or maserati
>>28776514Buy a car. Fix it up.
>>28778592i dowell, the rati not so much, admittedly, but that was mostly because it was a shit car. if it was the correct version of it, i'd have been more into it.and im definitely very into the bentley thing, as well as his recent foray into mercs, hope there's more of that.and i'd love to see him take on a porsche too, maybe a 996 where he does the ims bearing fixi'd even like him to try out some 'murican cars, if he can get his hands on any
People from poorer countries, how do you cope with knowing you will never own your dream car?Pic related, even a mustang is too much for me.
>>28770085>always dreamt of building my own kit car Stratos since I've learned that it was an option>when I was at school, was looking at a Hawk kit that should've set me back ~20k round trip- not cheap, but something in the motivationally achieveable category>graduate the same year Hawk stops making the kits>fug>Lister Bell is the one to go for now, but that would be at least three times the price>fine, I'll make it big, save up and get that one, more motivation>work my ass off, start making money proper>finally enquire with LB for a quote on a kit>they apparently stopped offering kits last year, now they only offer assembled cars>these go into triple digits, way more than I'm willing to pay, and I don't get the entertainment of weekend wrenching eitherAll I wanted was to spend a few years of weekends in the shed playing with adult Lego and get my dream car out of it, but now I can't do either. Unless I find someone else's unfinished project for sale, but even that's likely to set me back a pretty penny.
My dream car is a Ford GT '05. It was over the moment I saw it in GT4.
>Ameripoors thinking financing their oversized trucks or "dream mom cars" or whatever overpriced garbage at 80+ months at 800+ dollars makes them rich.. and they think they own itnews flash, youre poor, and do not own your vehicle. I'm happy driving my clapped out camery thats paid off, and adding to my 6 figure investments and savings, thank you very much.

>>28778579Tell me how you are feeling about that?
If someone made an EV that is just 4 wheels, batteries, engine, body panels and maybe A/C, I'd buy it. But they don't make 'em like that, every EV is crammed chock full of techy garbage from muh future, even budget chink stuff is more smartphone than car. Why can't we have an EV with nothing but the bits that make it go? I'd buy one. I'd buy five, for the price of one Tesla.
>>28772902>”I hate new technology”>ok Boomer, but why?/o/ has no response to this.
>>28775398hell, it's true for anything that even tries to be a driver's car too.
>>28775384The ultimate poorfag vehicle. These things just refuse to die.
>>28772794I'm anti-retard and your thread offends me
>>28772794We can't have an ICE car that fits that criteria anymore. The best option that I could find so far if you want to have a normal new car is getting a Mazda 3, sabotaging the telematics unit and ignoring the warnings about it every time you start it up.
This thread is dedicated to all the brave anons out there who didn't go for the top engine spec.Like the>Alfa 2.0 Q4 instead of Quadrifoglio>230i instead of the 240i / M2>V6 Challengers and Ecoboom Mustangs instead of a V8>Yaris GR instead of Corolla GR>Golf GTI instead of Golf R... and many, many more.I salute you.Just answer me this: why?
>>28767596How hard is it to swap out a V6 with a V8 in one of those? Gotta be a few 5.0L from donor range rovers.
> got base spec because only upgrades are leather seats/suspension>2 years later Mazdaspeed comes outWell at least I still drive my 02.
>>28777737Why are you modifying the bank's car?
>>28767146thought i couldnt afford the turbo motor when i bought my car though i should have because it turned out i started making good money only a few months after buying it and now the turbo ones are nearly 3x the price they were 5 years ago or the same price as mine but with 300000kms and flogged beyond belief
>>28777050I can't hear your straight piped V10 either because you're a gay europoor and aren't allowed to drive it on a public roadalso the viper does not sound all that good desu, pentastar absolutely rapes it in that regard. just stick with the twingo, Pierre.
Why did Aussies shut down Holden and their car manufacturing industry?
>>28778510No they aren't, he wasn't talking about HSV
>>28778381Because GM are jewish and all Holden sold in the end was just rebadged shitty GM euro cars
>>28778381to prop up china, also they have a serious case of Dutch Disease that limits their economy to primary exports.>that and the local government is dumb
>>28778381Koreans busted on the scene and took their market share, the corpos never want to downsize so they panicked and scrapped the whole operations

What would be the simplest way to fly away and out of sight from a cop during a traffic stop, or at least simulate flying away? It's something I've fantasized about doing ever since I was a kid.
>>28778101Break line of sight and pull off the road. I got away from a cop once. I passed him on the side of the road speeding and saw him pull out knowing he was going to come after me; but I knew the road so I kept up my speed, crested a hill and broke line of sight then immediately pulled up into a driveway and parked. Watched the cop fly past me in my rear view mirror then I waited a few minutes pulled out of the driveway and continued on my way. Drove past the cop later down the road driving back to where he'd been; but I was going the speed limit at that point and since he hadn't gotten behind me to see my license plate there was nothing he could do.Once they have your license plate your fucked though. Unless you're driving a stolen car, have something super illegal in the car or you're wanted for something way worse than speeding and evading the police then you should just take the fucking ticket since they'll just track you down with your license plate even if you get away.
>>28778483do their plate scanners work well at night? wonder if they suffer from the similar problems dash cams experience with night recordings
Americans really don't make the most of the 2nd amendment. I would be artillerying the local PD from my back yard before they're on the prowl looking for tickets to fling at every fucker. THEN hit the road. Saying as a bong by the way.

>>28778101your going to need a convertible or T top car / very generous moon roof.jet packs are starting to become more viable, or you could use an ejection seat to launch a Yves Rossy style jetwingpack.>simulate flying awayok.. set up a hidden compartment inside of the car from which you can use CAN and LIN bus features to remotely pilot the car.then have a very detailed helium balloon statue of your self sitting in the drivers seat.at the opportune moment your body double statue will float away, while you use the distraction to walk away un noticed.

Why are nu-males incapable of appreciating a car unless it has fake vents, aggressive lines, fake burble sounds from ricer tunes and garish headlights? What happened to simple elegance?
>>28774285>burger engine>bong driveablityI'm ok with that
>>28769924Why do every retard read cyclic regulation changes that a brand doesn't wanna make a new car for as "OMG THEY BANNED X CAR !!!!" It's like retard claiming FIA banned the 787B for winning Le mans while it's just a random jap failure experiment that got lucky once and the rest of the season it was Jaguar/peugeot supremacy for the other 6 out 8 races. The only other winner was a sauber driven by Michael fucking Schumacher.
>>28773969Nobody appreciated this car so much that they made a retro tribute to it that made it on James Bond? Really nigga? It may not have been a smash hit when it came out but it certainly has entered the public psyche and is up there with the greats like the 300SL and 250GT.
>>28769847>There are people who think the c2 looks better than thisRetards.
>>28774285The entire chassis of the car was redone by America because the bong one was shit. The most successful racing variant also had an American body.Brits claiming the gt40 is hilarious to me.
I swear, every time I'm driving anywhere there is always one driver on the road who is going considerably below the speed limit and jamming the line, causing a lot of irritation and frustration. When i finally get a chance to pull up along side and observe the vehicle's driver its always a single occupant, white male 40-60, with no real indicator of why he ought to be traveling so slowly (for ex. Going 30 in a 50). They never appear to be distracted by their phone or anything going on inside the car. They're just hands at 10 and 2, eyes fixed on the road, and impeding the whole flow of cars. Something about the whole thing feels ominous. I'm not sure how else to describe it.I have driven almost half my life at this point. At a certain point, it's no longer believable to simply chalk it up to this or that individual slow poke. This was NOT a thing before. The prevalence and frequency of this is too high. I genuinely feel like these are glowies, whose job it is to agitate and nudge private vehicle owners into finding alternative means of travel.
>>28778547I mean lets be honest, you are just mad at people doing the speed limit.Why are you exaggerating? You have ruined your credibility from the outset.
NPC encounters. I legitimately think some ‘individuals’ don’t actually have souls, so without the unit within themselves called consciousness, they are just energy. They’re a matrix simulation of a person. A real-life ‘dead internet theory.’It’s one thing to just see a moron while driving or walking around, but there’s a certain way these ‘background characters’ sit, stand, walk, look, etc. that gives off a very ominous feeling. The uncanny valley. Your soul knows something is wrong.

>>28777182I mean, there’s advantages of driving with wider tires but you’ll be fucked 6 ways from Sunday if you ever get a blowout due to the difficulty and availability of replacing those tires compared to dual tires.

I accidentally told my dispatch an earlier arrival time than intended and now it looks like I was late.

>>28774039Bro, "domestic" and "foreign" is a fucking state of mind now. The average Lexus or Honda has just as much US sourced content as a car from the big two-and-a-half. You know why? Because they realized it was cheaper to make them stateside then to ship them from half way across the world, all without buying into dumps tariff copes. Especially when it comes to overpriced bloated CUVs only amerilards are stupid enough to buy
