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.)
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
Watch out for Indian-owned petrol stations.They use card skimmers and cut the petrol with water.
>>29016145Try harder, Poonam. What does it feel like living in a country that will never accept you?
>>29016145That only happens because of that retarded "right turn on red is acceptable" rule.

Just hit 80,000 miles on my 2.0T Accord and the crappy 10 speed auto is starting to get real jerky especially at WOT. Anyone ever done a tranny flush on these things and have it fix the problem?

I pat my cars after a drive to let them know I'm satisfied with their performance. This motivates them to work hard and improves reliability.
I do a similar thing with planes. I pat the fueslage before boarding and after departing.
I do a similar thing with your mom. I pat her head and ass before and after depositing my seed inside her.
>>29017833Bless you, anon.
>>29017801Yes, me too. I pat dash and tell car it is good car. I also greet my car when getting in.>>29017833Tapping head so she can be ready to swallow is basic act for gentleman.
Are they as good as the boomers say? Should I buy a car with a v8? Will I cry about the fuel economy? Is the power worth it?

>>29017699And I'm supposed to know from just the engine bay alone that its a Charger and not a Challenger? That you aren't the guy with the other green LX in this thread? That MSRP difference is even more drastic with the Charger as it was UP TO, ie at one point in the production runs of both cars during the same model year nearly 7k more for a 5.7 Charger than an LT1 Camaro.Great for you if you need a sedan. I don't. But if I did that would imply that I am transporting people who's safety I care about enough to not use a 90s Mercedes sedan's bastardized carcass. I don't really have an issue with the 5.7 in any of its other applications but in the Challenger its a dog. LX cars are boats but that is more acceptable in a sedan. I also don't know what this board's obsession with big number is but that seemed to be where the thread was heading. What truck made in the last 20 years weighs under 4400lbs? An old Ranger? A no options Colorado? An SS starts at 3680lbs and an LT1 is another 80lbs lighter.For someone with your experience I would expect you to have driven some modern Ford / GM performance shit. I have. Dodge was crossed off the list instantly. It was like being in a new car from 2005 in the worst way possible. 8k more than a V6 Camry + the cost of the cam, to run what? At most half a second better ET with that upgraded cam? Just to get that HEMI RUMBLE? Can't let the Japs that weren't even running the same race win? Why pussyfoot around and get the baby cam when you could make enough torque at idle for a burnout with some Borlas loud enough for the entire zip code to hear? You've already voided the warranty, why waste it on a half measure. Go all out and run the best 13.5 your drag strip has seen.>>29017706A 540lbs fat guy + 19 gallons of fuel at about 110lbs? I think the suspension of anything unibody would snap over the wrong bump. How fucking fat are the people you know?
>>29017732Schizo.I havent posted any pics.And its amazing that you talk shit about interiors when you have a vehicle that has become a meme about its blind spots.The fucking belt line is at your neck.Not to mention the joke that is pic related.
>>29016816WOULD
>>29018012>And its amazing that you talk shit about interiors Every American car has a shit interior and I'm fine with that if it has the performance to make up for it. I didn't say anything about the interior of the Charger. You're just too fucking stupid to understand that "feels like a car from 2005" has nothing to do with the material choice or even design but everything about the experience. The engine was out of place, the body rolled, despite its mass it was flimsy and steering somehow felt less precise than a truck. >hmm yes I want a sports sedan. I think I will get the worst V8 on the market paired with an automatic and happily pay a premium for the HEMI badge despite not being a hemispherical cylinder.I would hope that it is at least a ZF. The only redeeming part.>when you have a vehicle that has become a meme about its blind spots.If you spend 30 seconds to adjust the mirrors or spend 5$ on wide angle blind spot mirrors its magically is no longer an issue. Fuck, if you're so bad at adjusting the mirrors yourself, blind spot monitoring and other driver assist sensors were an option. >The fucking belt line is at your neck.Its at my shoulder but I guess that is the base of my neck>Not to mention the joke that is pic related.I've fit a full ATX computer in box and a suitcase in the trunk at the same time. Nice photo of a 5th gen.I'd be very curious to see this 500$ cam upgrade and how long it lasts without any of the associating mods to make it last more than 10 miles without eating its MDS lifters or floating a valve.

I thought I didn't like screens and yeah they're kind of ugly when not integrated correctly, but then I actually used them and realized they're cool. Are you guys just seething because you're poor? When you actually drive new places regularly, unlike /o/ users who just go to work and home, it's actually helpful to have a large, bright google maps display and to answer calls on the go, change music, etc. If any of you have driven with young women (none of you have), you'll realize they want to connect to carplay, not plug in your loser aux cord. In general it just impresses people with your wealth and status, leading to more business opportunities, improves your position in the social hierarchy, and increases your access to sex. But keep explaining about how the screens are bad because they just are OK?
>>29009345the statement is broadly true, though there's zero actual data on impact in actual crashesthe comparison of normal commuter cars with heavy trucks is retardedthe distraction problem will be solved "soon" when the industry will finish unfucking voice assistants with the help of AI. Even the best smartphones still don't have it, siri is completely retardedthen you don't need to look at the screen at all to do things if you can just ask the thing with voice
>>29009326i think screens are just ugly, ok!?!? but that is subjective. but they're only actively bad when they control critical functions like gear or lighting or w/e but most cars that just have a smratphone bolted to the dash for music and maps don't do that (yet) and the few that have were slammed badly on reviews alone even before any legislation came in anywhere that it's not as big a problem as you redditors make it out to be>>29009757it's not a "fad" it's just the cheapest way to do it when you already have tooling for a particular trim and don't want to modify it>>29009847>>29009865>>29009874the cost comes from molding stuff. making new molds for plastic panels is actually pretty expensive. if you have a car that already has panels that were designed in the 90s and have to replace all that tooling it's a pretty crazy cost. that's why you see automakers using the same headlight assemblies, similar frames, interchangable doors, etc. across their entire product line>>29009902you can go on digikey or w/e and find the exact parts they use
>>29017354Literally a woman activity
I also hate how in most new cars, you can't turn off the screen if you're not using it for anything. Even back in E90, "turning it off" really made it display a black screen, which was actually dark gray because it was an LCD panel.
>>29018033>the cost comes from molding stuffI am awarePlastic is cheap, making into the shape you want is very much not.
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?
>>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.
Twingos are the weirdest shit.I have a twin screw from an industrial air compressor ive been sitting on for years that I always wanted to do some stupid shit with.Incase you dont understand- the twin screw is the pump part that was spun by an electric motor just to compress air into a holding tank.Somebody send me a twingo.Ill make a a YouTube channel around it.
>>29017545What's the displacement on the blower, and how long is it? I looked into this a little bit using either the Eaton M24 from a VW 1.4 TSI Twincharged or the TVS R410 from a Volvo, but it'd be hard to package because the oil dipstick is in a spot that would likely interfere.1.2T or 1.6 16V seem more plug-and-play.
Which state has the best default license plate? No special plates allowed.My vote for best is Colorado.Very simply two tone plate with a mountain backdrop in a nice shade of green. Not too complicated, no attempt at photorealism, no website banner, no stupid state logoMy vote for the worst plate is tied between Wisconsin and New MexicoWI plate is old as fuck, hasn't been updated in 50 years. Looks very busy with clashing colors, and a small silhouette that hard to make out. Looks bad on every vehicle.NM plate is just fucking ugly. I do like Teal as a color, but it rarely matching car's color scheme. The yellow text is too sharp of a contrast.The use of the word "enchantment" is hella gay
>>29003935Tennesee's vision impairment charity plate is also very cool and tastefully ambiguously racist if you want it to be.

Pretty much every youtube review ends up being a video of how the reviewer decided to buy a tuareg for themselves after reviewing it. Thats how much ppl love this fucking thing. So easy and fun to ride if you are tall enough/have enough leg inseam. Its sort of a flex over short ppl to buy adv bikes like the tuareg bc if you are not at least 6 feet tall you cant ride them. Youre just gonna end up dropping them if you do and looking like an enormous faggot.
>>29017743It's real theres a gif of it somewhere
Just lean the bike over
Totally not astroturfing: the thread.
>>29017473i'm 5'9, 30'' inseam, i sat on one and it wasnt too bad to keep the bike up, but it felt enormousjust the general size of the bike, way too big and bulky. ADVs feel like touring machines rather than something you wanna take offroad. I'm sure it can do that, i just dont want to do it with that bikealso wouldnt want anything other than japanese reliability on something i plan to take to places without cellphone service
>>29017473If you want a tall man bike, get F900GS. >>29017743Bikes are a luxury status item in China because of the taxes. Every bike over 125cc gets flat rate added on top of their cost, doesn't matter if it's a little 250 or a giant touring enduro. If you can afford the tax, you can afford the big bike, so you buy that because big number good and makes your penis an inch and a half longer than the chinese average of two. They could buy Harleys, but Harley is american filth promoting enemy values.
In what YEAR do you estimate Mercedes will stop producing shitty interiors?>why did this happenwell, adjusted for inflation Mercedes are actually cheaper than before by a significant margin, especially the volume upper models like e and s class, but that's only in Europe and North America. I think in the Middle East, Asia and Africa there are zany tariffs and other fees that can tack on 50k+ to the price of these cars so the real price is much higher and presumably such customers are more concerned about a flashy badge and exterior than a classy interior which nobody poor will ever see anyways except to clean or service. pic related - 220k Maybach S-class interiorthey plum gave up they had really interesting seats with classy contrast piping and trim in the 90s and early 2000s and sort of stopped caring once the cars became oligarch-mobiles
>>29017847>that will be non-functional in 5 yearsHoly fud
>>29017875The average lifespan of an OLED display is 5 years.
>>29017886That was the lifespan of panels produced ~5 years ago, retard kun. The majority of screenshit is still lcd too
>>29017886Also, panels age with on time and most cars are lucky to reach 5000 engine hours equal to like 300k miles

Lada Niva appreciation thread
>>29017940Not really? It's still the only small, simple, short wheelbase crossover with actual AWD and low range and not a hodgepodge of viscous couplings and imitaiton diffs made to sell to karens thinking they NEED awd for winter. Jimny is the closest thing, but it's considerably smaller and is body on frame (so even smaller on the inside), and everything else is much bigger and more overbuilt. >>29017950There's a good reason Golf Country didn't catch on. Transverse FWD-based crossovers kinda suck at actually offroading, not much better than the hatches they are based on, while being considerably worse on the road. Niva trades all of the on-road performance for being actually competent offroad. It genuinely sucks as a road car, but that's the price of minmaxing.
>>29017958>those old nivas have a hard time even going 100 km/h for a extended timeBecause their designed top speed is 60kmh.They were never intended to go faster than that.
>>29017962Wasn't the jimmy also toggleable AWD, whereas the Niva is full time AWD with a transfercase lock standard, thr jimmy havibg electronic diff locks as option
>>29017974>>29017969the other problem is its not soupy siberia most of the time where people livesomething like a 15 year old ex-usa salvage title mercedes ml350 or 20 year old porsche cayenne 3.2 v6 is a lot better car even if you are in those placesprius/hybrid is also very popular due to their low-temp capabilities (mongolia is 70% prius)
>>29017979>mercedes ml350 or 20 year old porsche cayenne 3.2 v6these fuckers break just as often as niva does, but you can't fix them with a hammer, a bottle of vodka and kuzya's mother
is a 90s civic intrinsic value over $10,000
>>29017823The honda scene has been dead for at least 10 years unless you're willing to pay up. Which of course takes away part of the original appeal.
>>29017823Considering how far quality standards have fallen yea.
A 50cc chainsaw is only worth $150 used.I am willing to pay $361 for a husqvarna 50 with postage because I am making a collection and need that specific chainsaw for said collection.
I own and daily my 91 civic hatch with a 2L GSR swap.It's not worth much, not 10k despite what I put in it.bubble burst.
i mean you can pay $0 if you have a old honda keythe crazy thing is people still steal 90s hondas. if its a beater you might get it back. if its nice they'll take about the same amount of effort to steal it as something like a scatpack/hellcat or a newer bmw (tow truck, breaking into a garage/driveway, stealing it at the mall/movies)
But this car is one of the best looking cars in history.
>>29015394the giant badge on the grill is so distasteful
