Why aren't you dailying a WW1-era race bike with brazed frame, 1000 c.c. V-twin, pedal start, manual fuel pump, manual oil pump, no clutch, and no brakes, /o/? What's your excuse?
>>29038762theres not enough alcohol in beer to sterilize a substantial volume of waterthey werent retarded, they would just boil waterbeer (and wine) were then and are for now getting tipsy all day. Yeast can only make so much alcohol, before they die in their own alcohol. So beer and wine are safe to drink because of the alcohol, but they have just barely enough alcohol to kill microbial life. Beer and wine were often watered down so you wouldnt be hammered all day.
>>29039025And thats if you ferment until the yeast die. 13-15% at the most abv. The alcohol making process starts with boiling. Wine and beer are both acidic. The role of alcohol as a sterilant is hugely hugely overblown.

>>29040555>I have a KIA Amanti. Pretty good road boat.Ah yes, the knockoff E-Class. Honestly, there's really nothing wrong with the car itself, it's just not a standout winner in any way. But it will always get you where you need to be, which is something people can no longer take for granted, given the early failure rates for many newer cars these days.
>>29040115>What killed the glorious land yacht?CAFE fuel economy regulations. Cars have different MPG standards than trucks and SUVs so building a huge sedan with a V8 is almost impossible now.

>>29040497eCVT is some made up trademark to rebrand their HSD which is still the original design they settled with the inventor for outside of court like 25 years ago. It's still to this day a differential with two electric motors.

I love my ecvt, it's nice to be able to constantly accelerate in the most efficient power band
Pictured here is my 1999 Honda Civic. I got it after working 3 jobs and being homeless for 9 months. I put a new clutch and flywheel in so I have about 2k into it right now + the $2000 it costs to buy the car.

I have literally never gotten my tires rotated.If you drive more than a few minutes your tires rotate, like, thousands of times? Need to rotate them the other way, just drive in reverse a few hundred feet.You look up "tire rotation" and its some utterly deranged shit like pic.Like, you're gonna take my tires off and rotate them back and forth and, like, fucking side to side? Do these room temp morons not know that tires were literally made to rotate only the one direction?
>>29040561Let me guess. You think new synthetic oils are the same as 60s dino oil and must be changed every 3000 miles because that's what grandad did.
>>29040148i keep a torque wrench in the car now. if they don't want me taking up a bay they shouldn't have used the rattle gun all the fucken way on.
>>29040453i can only guess that four wheel vehicles handle much differently to bikes so the tread design takes that into account
>>29040764>This oil is synthetic, so I can double or triple my interval!Oil companies want to advertise that their oil lasts longer on the bottle. Car manufacturers don't want their used cars to cannibalize new and CPO sales.Can they last 15k between changes? Sure, but it's worse for your engine than a 5k oil change. It will always be better to change oil sooner.Synth is better, but it's not THAT much different, people act like all the rules of nature don't apply anymore.The only maintenance most have to do is oil changes, it's really easy.I do 5k NA, 3k turbo, with synth, and I will continue to do so. You do you.
>>29040098>I have literally never gotten my tires rotated.ok. well. Your tires last less useful tread, and give you greater stopping distance sooner than everyone else.Congrats.>Do these room temp morons not know that tires were literally made to rotate only the one direction?most but not all tires are directional. Not exactly showing a high temp IQ yourself there, OP
Hey guys any thoughts on fitting the monkey wrench racing tvs900 supercharger kit on my 1zz mk2 lotus elise? Using a black emu ecu.Concerned about heat and conrods.would be all stock internals. I'm informed it will reliably increase power from 140 to 220 without issue. The ecu will retard ignition on heatsoak. Its recommended to install water/meth injection but I'm concerned about legality and complexity
>>29040679I couldn't believe it either when I looked it up. Bonus, their numbers also include long tube headers and a swapped intake so the cost would be significantly more than 4k ... and all for lawnmower horsepower.
I have the 2zr in my Elise, I am happy with it but after my raise and vacation I'm planning a K swap and a roots style.If you had/have the 1, I'd say just swap to a 2 and some bolt ons still less than that kit. I guess I'm just a honda guy at heart.
>>29038222Cheaper to do an engine swap. Would a 3S-GTE fit?
>>29038222I once saw someone put a TVS1900 on a 2.0L.It made 50psi instantly.The blower was almost larger than the engine.

The most fun or the worst fun you'll ever have. Depends on who you got it from.
>>29039046I make about 160k a year now. Still driving the same car for 20 years. I am sort of looking a replacing it though. But with a slighter newer shitbox
Buy literally anything with a Toyota badge and it will exceed your expectations. My Corolla is nearly old enough to vote and only has 1000 miles to go until it reaches the moon and I feel there's a real chance it'll make the journey back to earth in another 17 years.
I'm shopping for a practical CUV/SUV that's economical and reliable. I've found several Lexus RX300/330/350 models nearby for around $6,000, with mileage ranging from 150K to 250K.Currently I drive a 2015 Nissan Altima with 100K miles, and I'm looking to move up to something capable of handling mild trails and car camping, with room for light upgrades like a roof rack and mudflaps. The Lexus RX seems like the strongest option for affordability, reliability, and fuel economy, but I haven't seen it come up much in discussions here. Anyone have experiences with these?Are there other vehicles I should be seriously considering alongside it?
>>29037621Fishing poles, camping gear (tents, sleeping bags, chairs), gas cans, etc., are best stored outside of the cabin. I imagine getting some vitamin D for yourself may help you sort out your snarky attitude. I'm sorry you don't live in a place where incorporating functional additions to your vehicle for the outdoors is useful.It's also a matter of taste.
>>29033725Just get an estate you fucking asshole>b-but I want to sit higherkys NIG
>>29033725>Are there other vehicles I should be seriously considering alongside it?Pre 2010 to 2014 Subaru Outback with the 3.6R 6 cylinder boxer engine. They switched to a CVT in 2015, the head gasket problem was a thing of the past by 2010 and the 6 cylinder engines never had head gasket problems anyway. The H6 gives you about 260 horsepower and still gets me around 25 MPG and Subarus AWD is pretty much the best AWD you can get.

If any richfags are out there, I'm looking at a no title bike. Based on what the guy has told me and his facebook profile, I don't think it's stolen, but I want to be sure before I shell out $1,000 for it. NICB says it's not stolen or totaled but I don't know anything else. I also suspect the odometer may be wrong because swapping the speedometer and odometer on these bikes is extremely easy and he said he had a parts bike.JKBVNCB1X2B515504
>>29039305VIN checks arn't like they used to be.You don't get infinite checks anymore.Sometimes you can buy a $5 check on eBay before the listings are auto removed.
>>29039317Interesting, I've been wondering what happened to those threads.
>>29039305sorry I am poor esl but NICB say its not reported stolen or ever registered as salvage
>>29039305>no title>on a run of the mill, 24 year old metric cruiserWhy would you waste your time with this bike? I guarantee you there are dozens of alternatives out there with clean titles. Without a title, you don't own shit, which means you can't register it and you can't get insurance.>inb4 I'll run from the cops on when they pull me overNot on a 500 pound, 50hp bike you're not. Also, NICB doesn't tell you if it's stolen or not. NICB is an insurance database. If the guy the bike was stolen from didn't have comprehensive coverage (and why the fuck would he on a $2000 bike) that he claimed against, then it's not going to show up in NICB checks. If he reported it to the cops, then you wouldn't know until you got pulled over and arrested for possession of stolen property. You can take the VIN to the cops to see if they'll be nice and run a check, but still won't help you with the no title bullshit.

>>29038634>>29037407Keep coping acting like you make more than a hotdog maker at costco. It’s okay, I fell for the trucking shortage meme as well.
I hate the northeast and will never go north of Virginia after my first year, there's only 2 truck stops in all of Massachusetts, and their "rest stops" are pathetic
>>29040501Do you merifriends not have apps that point you to industrial areas or lay bys or other free parking lots? I almost stopped parking at rest stops entirely cause they're SO FUCKING LOUD.
>>29040501>he thinks it gets better out westI mean kinda but not by nearly as much as you'd think. >>29040216I appreciate you acting like an asshole so I'll appreciate making damn near 50$ an hour to hold a steering wheel.
>>29040501You'll be able to find reliable parking spots once you've run in an area for a while, but yeah, New England is a nightmare when it comes to parking, but Mid-Atlantic still has plenty of truck stops to choose from.>>29040518We have Trucker Path that people can use to report parking availability at a truck stop or rest areas.While Massachusetts does have more than two truck stops, the one that anon is referring to are major chain truck stops that hardly ever has available parking, due to them being located at major travel lanes.
