Bloody Volvo driver edishMy shitbox had what seemed like a fairly significant oil leak but at some point the oil seemed to stop going down. There's a lot of dried oil in the engine bay. I'm imagining it's somehow congealed or blocked the leak... problem solved? I'm scared to clean the engine lest it starts leaking again. What, if anything, should I do?
>>28945736A short-term lease works for my current situation.
>>28945694Except he needs to borrow a specific socket from AutoZone for free, because a normal one ain't gonna fit where those bitches at.
Why does my car feel faster on a full tank than when it's under half? Is my fuel pump clogged or dying or something?
>>28945828Because the more gas you have the faster you can go
>>28945832I don't think that's true but I'll choose to believe it.
>he doesn't drive a WSAD! PATHETIC! Suffah Bish. That's a Woahhhhhhhhh Buddyyyyyyyyy
>>28942880Females compliment my daily Jetta more than they do my actual projects that I like. Just keep that VW clean and running, and you're golden. I like VW, and they were eager to sell me a car, unlike every Honda, Toyota, etc dealership in 2023. Fuck everyone, I love VW.
>>28942897>>28942933>>28942294>they drive a car with a giant L on it

>>28945685Chinese hired European designers.
>>28945686So you run a Tata? Which model?>>28945685>Chinese EVs are probably the most racially pureThe also use Uigur slave labor
>>28945685I hope China takes over so they can finally kill all the indians here in Canada
>>28945099It's about the same for all "exotic" European marques nowadays.
If you go on the pistonheads 'show off your final inspection badge' thread, there are hundreds of Barry Griffin/Mick Freeman/but like 1 Iqbal Singh, so i'm going to assume this is a BMW D&C shill thread and ignore it. Aston deserve every sale they get, maybe they'll even make money on a car one day.
6500, 119k miles, fresh paint, bench seat, short bed. I want to take this to the beach every day, might be the last summer for all of humanity. What do you think? :^)

Considering getting a lightly used 2024 GTI as my first manual car. I'm between it and the Civic Type R, just don't know if I want to pay extra for the Honda. Whichever one I got would be my only car, and would primarily be a grocery getter desu. I don't plan on taking either to the track, but I do like to drive on backroads. Does /o/ recommend the GTI or should I just spend the extra money and get a type R?
>>28945277Should also add I test drove a current gen Civic Type R and it was more harsh than I wanted
>>28945293>>28945296okay well the GR Corolla doesn't have a ride as soft as the GTI but I found it to be far better than the Type Rthe Elantra N is also a car that exists but I have no thoughts on it
>>28945298>GTISuper nice all-rounder and can be tuned into golf r territory, much like the clubsport already is. Gotta pony up for the all wheel drive, but most don't need it in a daily unless you live in the mountains or something.>GR corollaSome say it's the most entertaining, but I found the looks to be weird and the interior genuinely offensive.>CTRFantastic car top to bottom with a pseudo hatch for practicality, but you're paying 50k for (a good) fwd. If you have that kind of money, there are better cars in that price range.>Elantra Nvery fun car with nice amenities, though they probably went a bit too hard on the chassis. Like what commuter sedan needs a crossbrace in the trunk well lmao. Also a sedan so you lose a bit of practicality.>Golf RThe new one is pretty fun with the changes to the awd system, but I struggle to find any below 50k for the current gen. Some prefer the GTI for being cheaper and more exciting, but neither is a bad choice. R is worth it for slightly better materials, default is38 turbo, and awd. Aesthetics are preference.
>>28945314>but I struggle to find any below 50k for the current genif by current gen you mean mk8.5, surebut you can find the mk8s go for closer to 40k if you're in the US and frankly there isn't all that much difference with the refreshmanual option is gone, different wheels, tail lights and DRLs with a big ol' ipad replacing the smaller screen on the dash, and a bit more power but just because of a different factory tune is just about itspeaking of tunes if you want to tune the R you're better off with a mk8 anyway because with the 8.5 they added more encryption that isn't fully cracked yet as far as I can tell
>>28944541they seem to be very on or off with either absolutely nothing going wrong throughout the entirety of ownership or just about the worst things that can happen happen like the PCV valve or water pump>>28945133that sucks manI see all those parts of the transmission and drivetrain have pretty frequent service intervals and for the doff to go and explode anyway bites

>>2894522125k for a fake GT in 1989, wtf.
>>28945231He worked for a ford dealership and had collected genuine phase 3 parts over the years and was autistic about getting it to be exactly like a genuine HO. even the stamping and paint markings underneath. he sold it to the owner of the dealership who had wanted it for years and let him park it in a private car space so it didn't get stolen or damaged.
>>28945253Yea that'd make sense.
Boomer slop get rekt
RIP in pieces. ;_;
Why is Tesla hated so much? They're pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
>>28942856I was in similar spot and once you've driven the Polestar 2, you quickly realize it's the king. And due to reasons that you can't even see in spec sheets. It's sublime to drive, very easy to work with and never breaks down. It's the first "fun" EV I've driven. Not just comfortable and quiet but also fun and precise. It also looks cool. My ICE-hardliner buddies all really like it too.
Why are there so many paid shills on this fucking board, on this shitty irrelevant website.
Its called stock market manipulation. They ran these "Tesla is dead" articles every single day, multiple times a day for nearly a decade, driven purely by short sellers and competitors who saw Tesla as a threat. The "Tesla hate" was just stock market manipulation by short sellers primarily prior to 2020. Then it was purely communists hating Musk for being successful and seething with envy.
Okay rejeeshYou will never be American, btw.
>>28945291Jeet and American are the same race of human beings.
What do I think of it /o/
>>28944792It's not even bait. You're trolling yourself. You're so hyperfixated on Ford and I keep trying to tell you it has nothing to do with Ford and you're over there like "I can't believe how much this is actually about only Ford specifically and nothing else"
>>28944074agreed, but honda civic owners are faggots too albeit different reasons
>>28943744>auto only>eggshit>plastic engine>mcdonalds or somethingYea I'm thinking you're gay as fuck.
>>28944829If it’s not about Ford what is it about? Answer the question
>>28944533>Brutally mogged by the Z71 Tahoe/SuburbanThis.Dumbass Ford had a perfectly good DIESEL V8 to drop in, and instead, canceled production in 2022.idiots.
Would it be cringe if I turned my car into a t-34 tank like this with soviet flags and blasted the red army choir? (i dont live in russia)
>+3 chance of drone strike
It would be extremely cringe, just like these.
Its a good thing I grew up in Metro Detroit and got to watch the early 90s Red Wings steal all the elite USSR talent once the shit hole collapsed. I got to hear first hand from the defectors how much of a backwards pos it all was. Ironically enough Im very fond of modern Russia now because of it.
>>28944145Sounds more like a liberal
>>28944845Yes, a communist.

>>28945476Yes, things that make car go faster, handle and brake better also usually make it heavier. Or are you one of those "people" who believe their NA Miata is the fastest car ever?
>>28945481
>>28945488Yes, pictured is an average Miata owner after a "pigfat" car passes them on the highway, in muh twisties and on the track

The true main reason The Ford Nucleon wasn't put to market is because it would immediately bankrupt the Fuel Industry,but they could've easily transitioned into maintaining and taking care of complex nuclear equipment normal people didn't know how to IMO.
>>28942428>The Ford Nucleon wasn't put to market is because it would immediately bankrupt the Fuel IndustryI'm pretty sure it wasn't put into production because letting retards roll around in nuclear reactors wasn't the best idea.
We were supposed to have fusion powered cars by now. If someone went into a coma in the 80s and woke up today they’d probably want to immediately kill themselves after seeing how little technological progress there’s been and how gay and retarded the world is now.
>>28942553Which is why the only nuclear powered vehicles that did get made are ships and submarines.>>28943192That includes locomotives, which there were several concepts. Professor Lyle Borst's X-12 being the most well known.

Would there be a market for a civilianized HMMWV again? I don't mean cuckovers like the H2 or H3, but an actual body on frame SUV just like the Jeep Wrangler, but for the Gulf war/Iraq War larpers
As long as they don't go for the same price as the shitty EV """"""""""""""""hummer""""""""""""""""
>>28945280>but for the Gulf war/Iraq War larpersThey'd just buy the H1
>>28945280>>28945283There is enough of a market for restomod Humvees to already be a thing. And they cost more than the Hummer EV.
If you had a classic or special edition car with shabby looking seats, would you sell the seats and buy new seats or get the seats reupholstered? I think either way you're losing/ruining some of the specialness right?pic unrelated
Also the original seats/repair parts and covers are no longer available, I would have to get aftermarket seats
>>28945276car's special when it's nice to sit in. get it reupholstered.
>>28945286I want to do one or the other but I was also thinking about getting nice new Recaros instead. All told the price will probably be about the same and the new Recaros might be nicer
>>28945286>get it reupholstered.This. I don't care about parts being original or matching, but I want it to look and function the same, basically.
