I'm just never putting 0w-20 water in my enginethe same engine was listed for 5w-30 just 10 years ago with identical tolerances.0w-20 or thinner is a scam to make your engine wear out faster.
>>28710061>Why is 0w30 not really a thing?It definitely is a thing here in Europe. My diesel Volvo uses that.
>>28706924Doesn't even matter what kind of oil you use, that's the real scam
>>28712782Additives do make a difference
the real scam is making you change oil more than once a year. doesn't matter how much you drive. once a year.

my ac hose just slipped off lol. Can I repressurize it myself or do i have to go to a shop? I wrench but never fucked with that before
>>28710995Slap a can in it. It ain’t rocket science like they pretend. You don’t need to evacuate it. Who gives a fuck?
>>28711916Im sure bubba would just shoot freon in it and call it a day but I'm a bit less careless than that lol>>28711730I will neither confirm nor deny that it happened due to a retarded error on my part. And no it doesn't seem worth doing it myself versus getting a shop in this case...
>>28710995lmao what the fuck am I reading
>>28711916If a system is low on refrigerant you can just add more, but it's smarter to find the leak first.If you disconnected a hose and completely emptied the system, you must pull a vacuum on the system to remove the air and humidity first.
>>28711540How hard was this to do, and how expensive was it? I have a car with an AC that should work, but it's empty so it needs to be vacuumed and refilled. I'm a bit nervous to do it
Same price range. one is old one is new. one is fast one is slow
Personally i think you should give them a try before you pay the money after that you can decide which car do you wanna to buy
>>28712168Yup, I was right, you've never owned a supercharged V8 in your life lol.It's a one owner 2012 CTS-V from California that's spotless underneath and I'm 6'2". You would know I'm 6'2" because my knees are pressed up right against the dash by the Recaros and I'm spilling over the seat. Cope with your gutless automatic V6 while I have a reliable manual LSA making more horsepower than all the cars you've ever owned in your life *combined*.And it's a boost gauge you, fucking retard lmao.
>>28713237If you were actually 6'2" you would be complaining about how retarded this car is, how the only way you fit in it is with the seat reclined absurdly back, and the only way you can fit in the rear seat is with your head cocked far enough that your cheek bone is on your shoulder, because they decided to have the sunroof slide under the roof rather than on top. Anyways seethe more manlet, and take care of your car, it is fucking disgusting.
>>28713237you're the original owner? thats sweet
>>28712168>>28713248Oh wow, now you're an expert on car packaging too lmao, when you've never even sat in the Recaros, retard. You're like one of those fags who pretends to know what it's like to drive an Evo because you own a basic bitch Lancer.Your car is a buy-here-pay-here afterthought made for Jamal to think he's driving a luxury car.My car replaced the engine, transmission, brakes, differential, MR dampers, bushings, sway bars, body panels, tires, seam welds, and interior in order to beat the world record for a production sedan on the Nürburgring. They're completely different cars, retard.You've already exposed that you've never owned a supercharged V8, but do you want to know how I know you've never driven a manual too? >Picture of me waiting in-line for a car inspection while in neutral with the parking break engaged>Retard on /o/ thinks the parking brake engaged light is a *warning* for a failing parking brake lmao>Same retard has never seen a boost gauge in his life, and thinks it's low oil pressure tooLMAO my car is a one owner from California and 51k miles, the only warning light I've seen is when my traction control light is on while I'm doing donuts around your shitty little V6. Considering your cheap automatic base CTS will need to go to the junkyard soon, maybe your next car could be a Miata so you can finally learn how to drive a manual dumbass.Comment too long.

Looking for something that I can abuse in the snow. I normally drive a c6 z06 corvette that I put up for the winter and uber to and from work but I'm tired of ubering.Looking at things like a 1995 manual wrangler with a huge fucking hole in the passenger door (3K), a 2000 silverado extended cab with front end damage (5k), or a 2006 Audi A4 2.0T with no noticeable issues. (6k)(I haven't bought anything in years)
>>28714879Impreza.
>>28714884Wichita craigslist is pretty bleak. You could get this for the lulz. These were the only notable posts I saw.
>>28714895I can travel for a decent buy, thanks.
>>28714896I just looked at Kansas City and didn't see much either. I'd roll the dice on the pathfinder. God speed anon. Post whatever you eventually buy.
Winter beater cars are a pretty important subject.I don't like putting my Mustang in the snow myself.
Why is (((Firestone))) like this?
>>28710791Consider yourself lucky bro, you could have it a lot worse
>>28712493I meant easier than ordering one through rockautointerstate is just johnston controls batteries, and walmart are east penn/deka AFAIKreally all you are paying for with a battery these days is the warranty, and a walmart platinum AGM is 4 yrs and the costco interstate AGM is only 3 years for typically around the same priceand the fact there's a walmart in every town means it's pretty easy to switch them outI would agree whatever the dogshit value branded walmart batteries are essentially disposable boat anchors that I would never rely onand yeah, you could get a full set of tools from harbor freight and a jack+stands and a toolchest in your favorite color with all the extra cash
>>28711212>... *smooch* <3
OP here, for the record I needed 2 front calipers and pads/rotors for all 4 wheels.
>>28712461Fuck off pedo rabbi
why does everyone love the c8 so much?so what if it's the worlds fastest car and looks better than a ferarri and costs less than a mustang and sounds better than a lambo. nobody even cares about that
>>28714756$193k dollarydoos on a base model vs 85k on a mustang
>>28714756here in australia we pay top dollar for the same thing m8

What's the difference between these types of winter tyres?Is there a map or something that will tell me which one to choose based on where I live? It's my first winter driving, I don't want to die br/o/s.
>>28714244If you drive mostly get, get the alpins. If you get a decent amount of snow, x-ice
>>28714334Dry, not get
>>28714244>I don't want to die br/o/s.Keep an eye on your rear view mirror while you're stopped at a light. Keep a mental note of which way you can dodge out of the way if a somali with bald all-seasons decides he wants to rear end you.
Are all terrains ok for winter or do I NEED actual winter tires - esp for rough mountain roads where winter tires tend to be road biased. I'm not sure what they even expect you to do.
>>28714244The PA4 (left side) is high performance winter tire.Its comparable to the Vredestein Wintrac Pro.If you have a BMW M340i or similar its the best option.The right side is a traditional snow tire. Slight edge in deep snow but its handling sucks on cold pavement.Basically right side is fine unless you have a performance car.
I got a letter from BMWwhat do I do? should I open it? what if it leaks oil everywhere
>>28714080where's the caged onion
>>28714080You need to clean your yuro .3l diesel dpf.

its a faulty drivers airbag, they told me to immidietly stop driving the carits a 2005 e91how did they get my adress? wtf>>28714709no
>>28714078Soak it in motor oil first
>>28713779Mounted the wrong way around. The only good Volvos were RWD.

>>28713779>Transverse FWD
>>28713779Who up volling they vo?
Let me guess: you need more
>>28710788holy shit buy some new headlight assemblies you fucking monkey.Don't even bother with the sanding/polishing kits I'm sure yours are fucked all the way through
>>28710776>he doesn't bring his pickup to haul the 2 imperial tons of beef he buys a weekLow test faggot
>>28710788What fucking hovel is this?
>>28710764It's less I need more, and more of I can afford more.Cause I dunno if you noticed, but the worst most unreliable cars to have ever been made, are also the most expensive. Mercs, Porches, Land Rovers, etc. they're all cars that spend more time in the dealership than being driven around. And that's without getting into hypercar territory where you'll be driving them around like they're supposed to be driven around a racetrack, and they'll break immediately. That's the rich people flex.That they can toss more money to the garbage than you can.
>>28710764I need less. Honda Jazz MT.

Bought a 2021 mx5 rf last year. I fucking love it more than I thought Id ever love a car. Where I currently live it handles winter just fine, but I am looking to move to Maine around the Bar Harbor area. Do you think it will be able to handle winter that far north? Also a lot of unpaved gravel roads around there.
>>28715498Doesn't Maine salt their roads? I'd be looking for a beater just to keep the Miata out of the salt.
Be honest: could you outrun the new Bulgarian police cars?
>>28707220It would take them a long time to get to the united states, so probably.
>>28707220i will just drive past an auto shop and they will be compelled to pull over
>>28707242Everyone point and laugh at the Camaro driver
Why would I need to outrun him. $20 bribe and I'm back to whatever I was doing
>>28707220what's the traffic like?
Average /o/tard driving skills. Who is in the wrong here?
Really though why wouldn't you try to pass on the right first

>>28712262>Ultra-rapid chargers deliver power at 100kW or more. Typical these are rated at 150kW, 250kW or 350kW, but the speed they'll actually deliver depends on the car and environmental factors. >While new electric cars are accepting ever-faster charge speeds, it's usually expensive models that benefit most from ultra-rapid charging, such as the Porsche Taycan, Audi e-Tron GT and Lotus Eletre.>Take the latest Porsche Taycan as an example A 10-80% charge can be achieved in as little as 18 minutes when using an ultra-rapid charger
>>28708934Oh shit what is this from? It's Hot Wheels right? I feel like I watched this movie as a kid.
>>28713783Oh fuck it's obviously The Mask. I'm rarted.
Is this the best gas station overall? Maybe it’s because I’m a flyover fag but QT’s standard from food, bathroom cleanliness, to how well their employees are trained all seem to completely mog the competition.
>>28711616Based. Isn't it that time of year again?
You guys obviously have never been to a Kwik trip
