>>28716730>becomes obsessed with some unobtanium oil sheikh baitI do this but with Bri'ish-built kit cars and old racing homologation specials. Mass-produced cars with a gorillion HP are boring to me because they'll still have sound deadening and A/C and all the crap that weighs them down. A stripped-out Jaguar XJR-15 with an on/off clutch and a detuned race engine will captivate me more than the oil sheikh's Audi R8 with a body kit.

How difficult would it be to automatic-swap an AZ-1? (Third-worlders here to cope about their obsolete busywork transmission being "more fun" need not reply)
>>28714959AZ-1s are basically just backwards Alto Works so you could probably take the transmission off an i.e/S variantThe ratios would probably be so close for the DOHC
>>28714959>Locate Impala SS in scrap yard>pull the drivetrain >weld up some mounts>Enjoy V8 power with a comfy auto transmissionThat would be the shrimplest way to do it
>>28716196>in decadeslmao, try driving any pre-8hp era automatic and tell me how they are as fast as manuals. quick and intelligent automatic are a recent invention, up until the 2010s manual was the go-fast option, hence why a lot of hardcore performance cars were manual-only.
>>28714959is it the car from back to the future?
>>28716645No, that was a chopped and lovered Cybertruck.
Which way?
>>28714859unironically?dynamic led matrix headlights are fuckin amazing.unfortunately the last time I checked they're not legal in the USA. however anyone can still go buy 2 megalumen 6500k replacements from temu with forward facing led's and no cutoff zone and glare the fuck out of the world.i generally prefer a yellower light but something at 5000k with good cri isnt bad.
>>28715214Well, that and a better mix of phosphors (the yellow crap on top of the LED element) might cost something and make the light less efficient.The LED element in these lights naturally produces an eye-searing deep blue that's not too far from UV light. The human retina can sense it, but most eyes struggle to focus on light like that, which is why it hurts the eyes so much and is restricted in some places, e.g. standards for office computer monitors.That phosphor stuff turns some of the blue light into lower-energy light like yellowish orange. When the blue is roughly balanced with warmer colors from that, the light looks "white", although it may not have a very natural distribution of wavelengths.Some professional lights for photography and stuff do have a very carefully considered mix of phosphors to produce light that's basically natural looking. Lights that just focus on spitting out as many photons as possible as cheaply as possible do not. Some of the worse ones just leak out most of the blue eyerape rays.
If you've ever bought drop in LED headlight bulbs from amazon then I'll kill you
>>28715100Because age takes everything from you, by the time you're mid 60s your pupils physically cannot open up any more than half as much as in your 20s.Remember what a dark starry sky looked like as a 10 year old (if you've ever even been away from city light pollution)?Compare that memory to the best effort you can see today.When you hit 65 the loss of night vision is going to be about 3x worse than the diff between you at 10 and you at 30.Also thread related, LEDs any higher color than 6500k are strictly illegal. You should at worst only be able to see a hint of blue from someone's LEDs. Anything more noticeable than just the smallest amount is an illegal headlight.
>>28714859Halogens. Modern leds are blinding

Does anyone have the old /o/ sticky infographic lying around on their hard drive somewhere?
Explain the side by side marketPic related is the Kawasaki Teryx H2 powered by the same supercharged engine as the Kawasaki H2 and H2R.Its like a quadbike but huge. John Deere equivalents are like a kei truck but not-road legal making them less useful.
>>28716472hell yeah
>>28716486I love living in NH and ripping my Tenere and WR250R on class VI roads. Many of them are impassable to anything except hikes, ATVs and maybe lifted jeeps. It’s always funny when the road is so old and unknown that you basically drive through someone’s farm to get to them yet it’s still a public way.
>>28714424On the weekends out in farm country everyone is out driving these fucking things around for fun. I go out there on my motorcycle sometimes and in good weather there are more of these on the road than regular cars or pickups. I assume they get them for ranch and farm chores, then use them for ripping around like dual sports. Sometimes you can see them shoot across the road, going overland across fields and power line access.Not gonna lie, I probably would too if I lived out in the sticks.
I think I have a unique perspective on this. I live very local to the Hatfield McCoy trail system. I've been 4 wheeling since 1999. Back then HMC trails wasn't even a glimmer in the owners eyes. It was all "outlaw". We used to ride down our buddies trails and come out in peoples back yards and we were not only allowed to by the owners, we knew them on a first name basis. The trails were fun and very inviting, even for novices. I've pulled quite a few weekends out there with a saw clearing trails myself just for the love of it. I even had a keyring that looked like a janitors keys just for all the fences the mine put up. Yes, the mine company gave me keys. We used to do poker runs with hundreds of atvs and you could go back the next weekend and you couldn't tell there was even an event. NOW that sxs are the main thing, a regular weekend of them driving around tears the trails up. They tear up the hill climbs, they wallow out the mudholes so deep you need 40 inch tires, 12 inch lift and portals to even have a chance, and they leave trash everywhere. Most of them drive like complete assholes and speed through town with their screaming piss twins and 3 cylinders all through CVTs. It's a shame what has happened but the money is what matters. There's a lot more profit on a $30k sxs with a bunch of useless tech added to it than there is a (now) $10k atv with bare essentials and the trails have really suffered for it. The area is still beautiful though and I still call it home but I feel ashamed that our economy has no choice but to entertain this scourge.
>>28715481Ery noice
can i just buy a cheap 60s coupe and put a chevy small block in there? >t. third worlder that wants to drag race
>>28713611since you have to ask - no, you don't have anywhere near the skill.
>>28714257>paper slip wheelieswut?
>>28714518Don't you have like Novas and the like over there? Like just unexceptional 2-doors from the era, not necessarily compacts.
>>28714518Well it makes sense you want a chitty lmao
>>28716141When the front wheels lift off the ground just a tiny bit (like just enough to slip a piece of paper under them). It’s ideal in drag racing.

>>28708476I keep seeing stories with my police department using the flock cameras to track down stolen cars
>>28716048Stories like this are basically native ads for the company. I have no doubt that they are useful for tracking stolen cars, but they're also tracking every single person who drives by and selling the data. There's no regulation to stop them from doing that.
>>28711163I can't speak for Lowes/Home Depot specifically but I can give an explanation for this on other chains. For example have you ever noticed that the same thing happens with fast food restaurants where there always seem to be a bunch of them all right next to each other? One of the reasons for this is that McDonalds became so good at scouting locations for for their restaurants based traffic flow, visibility, and other criteria that would maximize patronage that other fast food chains simply stopped doing their own research into this area. They would just wait for a McDonalds to pop up in a market they wanted to enter and then build their competing restaurants as close as they possibly could to the McDonalds under the rational that if McDonalds picked that spot then it must be good. Something similar is probably happening here.

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)
>>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.
>>28714878These are hot.
>>28714871drive the corvette
Memes aside they're probably the best brand right now for young car enthusiasts. There's a reason why people put up with the oil leaks and cooling issues.
>>28715936Their 2010-2015 models were unreliable ticking engine bombs right? But supposedly their cars are the most reliable in recent years.
>>28716007>But supposedly their cars are the most reliable in recent years.People always say this when a new series of BMWs comes out.

>>28715752Depends on how rusty the shell is
>>28657447I've always been a toyota guy but last year I bought a 2004 civic for lols. To make things worse it's a hybrid with manual tranny. I expected it won't last a year but so far I'm shocked by it's reliability. It's dogshit slow, looks boring on the outside but weird on the inside. And I get 42mpg even with fked up battery

Why are you fags so tribalistic with brands?
4chan hobbyists are autistic that's really what it is look at /v/'s consolewars or spend 5 minutes on /p/ >>>/p/4482097
Most makes have comparable models so no matter what you want, multiple companies probably make something similar to what you are looking forafter that, you're splitting hairs with brandswhat brand do you trust? Do you have a reason to buy from a particular make? (family works at Ford) What has your experience been with other makes?For example, I refuse to ever own a Dodge product because my Dad always talked shit about them growing up. I probably will never buy a Chevy car because of the issues my mom had with her 2014 Cruze. You find a few brands that you trust and stick to themand people on the internet tend to be argumentative so they usually try to convince you to buy the same things they do
>>28715041Is it just hyundai or is it hyundai/genesis? The latter makes some pretty good bang for your buck cars.>I'd buy another Honda if they ditched the gay ass fwd shit.That ship has sailed my friend. Nu nsx is the last non fwd honda will ever make.
