stretched tires look (and perform) so awful compared to a real tire
>>29103707you'll see similar patterns on other tests, e.g. 225 on 9 faster than 245 on 9 https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/testDisplay.jsp?ttid=296
>>29103506>nonca style
>>29103708I wouldnt call a 225 on a 9 stretched
>>29103506disgusting
>>29103506bro that looks icy hot
>No adaptive cruise control in a 100k carWhy are retards running Chevy? A fucking basic corolla has adaptive cruise control. This is the only thing making me get a Mercedes cle 53 over the corvette grand sport
>>29106539Buy an ad
>>29106539Are you retarded or what? There are time where it's nice for the car to drive itself but you're likely such a poorfag that even a basic corolla with the feature is out of your price range so you haven't experienced it

>>29106656>>29106695Manuals are slow. I'm sorry this upsets you but this isn't the 2000s anymore. You are using old outdated tech but you drive a shitbox anyway so it's not like you'd beat me in a race anyway
Every "cheap" Honda Civic, Toyota, or otherwise reliable Japanese car is ridiculously expensive. It costs $15,000+ for a decade-old Honda Civic with 80,000 miles? I thought these cars were supposed to be cheap and reliable, but that's not cheat at all. This isn't cherrypicked, it's every listing
>>29106595Mortgage rates are at 7.6%, interest rates are increasing which means subprime loans are coming to an end. Exactly like 2008 all over again.The problem was always loans being handed out to the cattle. Mortgages, cars, student loans, etc... If you can't afford it, you SHOULDN'T be able to buy it. We're in for some mass layoffs with AI making most jobs redundant. And when they're laid off, forced to foreclose/sell their $50,000 truck they NEVER should've owned, prices will come down.If you seriously believe this is sustainable: 5 years from now inflation will make every homeowner a millionaire and a new F150 will cost $100,000, you're insane. Interest rates are finally increasing, mass layoffs are coming. I'm tired of the bullshit HR/Management jobs, they need to be CULLED.
get a manual ford retard
Its amazing how much normies have gaslit themselves into thinking that a bestselling mid spec German car is cripplingly expensive
>>29106617KEK, I just watched 'The Big Short' last night. This time it's worse. My mortgage company filed for bankruptcy last year, and I've been following the markets for the last 20 years or so.
>>29106617I don’t know what rock you’ve been living under, but everyone in California with a house is a millionaire and trucks are close to 100k depending on the trim. You can take that as an example of what at least 5 years ahead of whatever shithole you live in looks like, yet most people there have a car even though the state makes it very expensive. There are other problems with the future, but they don’t have to do with cars.
I just bought a 10 year old Chevy Colorado. Its not the greatest truck in the world, but it's all mine and I enjoy driving it! Anyways, I just wanted to share my happiness with you guys.
>>29106287>new trugger
>>29106327>Just let people hecking enjoy things!
>>29106287Wtf have you done to the Colorado?
That's an isuzu right? Hang the fuck onto it as long as you can
>>29106574You seem miserable
How did you guys learn to drift?
Drifting is for fags who don't have the engine power to properly powerslide.
>>29106837A drift is often just a prolonged powerslide...
>>29106839Nuh uh
>>29106844Oh yeah? Well I think it is, and I think fags who use clutch kicks or handbrakes just drive differently than I do and that's fine.
>>29106837Powersliding is for scrubs too scared to enter a corner fast enough to inertia drift on turn in
Why do people drive in the left lane? Don't they know it's illegal? Are they stupid?
>>29106443Left lane is for passing, not cruising.
>>29106443Why do people speed? Don't they know it's illegal? Are they stupid?
>>29106443go to some public place and study average situational awareness.
>>29106774I was once in a fog bank with about five car lengths of visibility while on the highway, visibility of course referring to lights only, you couldn't see the rest of the car until you were a car length away. Everyone was driving about 25mph.And then someone passed us on the left lane at 75. What's funny is that I have no idea if he crashed and killed everybody later down the road, cause if I passed him then visibility was so poor that I wouldn't be able to see the wreck.
>>29106443Because they can't drive. No. Yes.
There are no good cars.

>all new 3 series>actually only the electric variant is new>the gas ones are just refreshed on the same platform>but we made it as ugly as possible>buttons? you wishKind of amazing they blew their r/d budget on the electric version that nobody wants so the gas version that sells 10x more will languish on a now-outdated platformthey did the same thing to the mini cooper and afaik the "electric" one is actually some sort of rebadged chinese car so it doesn't sell in countries where that's banned and a review of the electric "countryman" said it was too stiff to drive Also, I have never once wished for a non-circular steering wheel.
>>29106253Natural gas is mostly limited to coastal areas so no. Germany's natural gas production is very small.
>>29106745Maybe Polaris would have been a better name internationally. But Polestar is a common term in Scandinavian countries. Sailors looked for it to find home, so it's a recurring thing in stories. It sounds more natural than for instance Polaris to us.
>>29105611I hate ugly cars.
>>29106339Options cost the same for 3 series and i3. The base difference is what matters.
>>29106353> the actual out the door transaction prices for electric 3 series are likely to be 10-20k more than gas 3 seriesNope, the difference in Europe which is the primary market will be less than 5k and for awd buyers the EV is cheaper. These are cars that have price lists online so it is absurd to keep lying or being misinformed online.

>>29095474>Finally, the beetle just kind of always sucked to drivethe Beetle is a RWD proto-Porsche and the funniest car to drive everyou don't know shit>they were not reliable cars.lmaojust after WWII VW beetle drivers were handed over watches if they had managed 100,000 km (breakdown-free) with their vehicle and they quickly had to stop giving out thosethe flat 4 air cooled engine is one of the most reliable engine ever made and there is not much on the car that can break

>>29103971Tell me more of this European hellcat.
>>29104640I've only ever seen the hot ones. There would be no point importing a base spec.
>>29104675European hellcats were basically just GTI hatchbacks in the early 2000s>heres a bogstandard car, but we slapped a perfomance badge on it and upped the horsepower by a tiny amount
>>29103878Retarded shitskins and zoomers ruined nitrous by huffing it until theybget brain damage, now you can barely get it anywhere. Seeing a big ol bottle and those extra hoses to the injectors was cool shit.
So many modern "professionals" would have fucking died right away in the first minute of this video. Sports cars were a completely different breed back then
>>29100060Loblolly pines (not the trees at the ring, just an example im familiar with) grow 3-4 feet a year under ideal conditions.I planted a few thousand on my property 10 years ago. They were tiny seedlings that averaged less than 12" and now theyre 25+ feet tall with zero watering other than what nature provided. I also have multiple oak species that are 5 feet after the same time frame.

Why don't you run your car on hydrogen?https://files.catbox.moe/63hfta.mp4

Any questions?
>>29103386That's literally how 99% of people drive, then they wanna bitch about cvts failing how manufacturers don't build em like dey used to. I believe it's called the NPC pathfinding algorithm.

>>29102855Sold my 2018 RS3 because of the noticeable understeer. How is yours around the corner?
Either because you had to sell it or it became a total loss due to a car accident like pic related
>>29106536Reminds me of my 84 Bronco 2. I don't know I had a lemon, but that piece of crap could barely get itself up a hill. Still, it has a good look I think. If I still had it I could make it into something pretty special.
Almost every car I've sold, I regret selling. If I had a big piece of land to build a garage for them all, I'd have kept them. So many awesome cars.
>>29106586That does look cool, I'm terrified of owning anything with special glass though. Some jealous nog can just ruin my life with one simple trick with a rock.
>>29104595employment is a bigger scam
>>29106323Oh no! Someone likes something you don't! Kill yourself.
Ooops
>>29106388Fucking stancefags
>>29106625No buddy my wheels are hubcentric so the centre bore bears the entire vehicle weight. No matter how much I shock load them, if the wheel face slips from the hub face, the studs will only flex rotationally around the centre axis.With no hub to keep the wheel concentric, any slip between the wheel face and the hub face will almost certainly result in the wheel going ECCENTRIC, and if the wheel goes eccentric even slightly then the sheer force on the studs multiplies massively.So if you combine all the factors here of the TWO spacers which provides an extra slippery surface between the wheel face and hub face, the complete lack of concentric locating which means any hub face slip will make the wheel go eccentric, AND the enormous stickout which means the eccentric sheer loading will have way more leverage over the studs, it's easy to see why 5 snapped wheel studs is the result they got.
>>29106645>hubcentric so the centre bore bears the entire vehicle weightFuck anon, Jesus Christ.(Is king)Hub centric wheels don't hold up 100% of the load.Often times that's simply used for centering the wheel.Most Corvettes for example are hub centric but only 1/8in of the wheel touches the center 2.78in bore.Nigga, you think a hub Bore keeps your wheels from spinning on the hubs?Fucking hell anon, like fuck.
>>29106799Spinning on the hub was addressed in my post buddy.Yes a hub can easily support the weight of a vehicle provided the wheel studs are providing TENSION <(this is their job, to provide tension and not bear sheer load)
>>29106522>>29106440I honestly don’t know how people like this have so much more money than I do for cars and it depresses me.
