Average night in Czechia edition
>>28846229Verona isn't exactly a secret, pretty sure it's on trucker path. Anyway >>28846391 >>28846391 isn't talking about upstate, he's upsetty spaghetti about the area from Philly to Boston. Upstate is actually pretty chill as long as you're not trying to park overnight inside the bigger cities
>>28846166When inches either side is the difference between glory and fail work gets old quickly.I know someone that rolled a truck full of used tampons. A f* truck full of used tampons.
>>28846397Imagine the smell.
>>28846395>Verona isn't exactly a secretWell, shit.Still, it’s nice to see it’s never full… then again I suppose the handful of service areas and couple of large truck stops along I-90 seem to help keep it from ever filling up.
>>28846391I’ve have only spent a couple of hours delivering or picking up in NJ, so I haven’t been to any of its truck stops besides the TA in Bloomsbury, NJ. That particular TA is a fucking shithole compared to the other TAs I’ve been to – there’s mold in the showers. Other than that, the only other truck stops I’ve been to, near NJ is a Flying J and a former One9 in Elkton, Maryland. PFJs can be good places for late parking and the former One9 (now an Exxon) was sort of off the beaten path, so there’s at least one parking spot open any time of day, despite it being a small lot.

>>28846570Its a conspiracy to get more bikers killed by only giving us black gear.
>>28844745if it breaks its done. And since its a motorsport-engine it WILL break.There is a reason why you can get those for relatively cheap money, the repair parts simply arent made anymore.Good luck finding someone to make you new bushings for the crankshaft.

I kinda want r1250gs but I cant afford it

Why shouldn't i cop this m3 comp wagon?
>>28846124this is literally like 10 times faster than any minivan though, it's only slightly heavier than the sedan and its not noticeable at any non track speed apparently (though i would track it)>>28846102a shit ton but i would lease it, I already have a yukon
>>28845525Hideous designed-for-niggerchinks front end.
>>28846284i really like the front end, the base 3 series front end looks way worse imo
>>28846281You're compromising on practicality (sliding doors, cargo space, comfort) for performance that you'll get bored of. Also leasing a vehicle is retarded.
>>28846285Actually I agree. But I’d rather see get the 7 series desu.
How are you niggers able to pay 100k for ford expeditions while purchasing 500k houses? I dont understand this economy at all and I make reasonable money.
>>28845600I dont know why blue collar jobs have this goodest goy competition culture. It’s funny because I used to do IT for a general contractor and I did fuck all 99% of the time.
>>28846057I'm one of the thought leaders at my company so I am not super concerned. Even if I got laid off I could afford to take a huge pay cut and still be living a better life than I would in a city. I live off grid, owe nothing, and grow and hunt my own food so I have many years worth of savings without having to dip into any of my investment accounts.
>>28845412At 31.9% APR, that's how. What, you thought Joe Blow working as a hotel clerk had a hundred grand kicking around? He lives paycheqye to paycheque.
>>28845412Fun fact. You only pay Social Security taxes up to ~$180k. Above that you just pay federal/state. I also max out my 401k, Roth, HSA, dependent care, and college funds. My company also pays for my car and fuel, and mileage is a tax deduction. Also, my state allows a refund of tax we paid towards public school so we can use it to pay for private school.After all is said and done I pay a lower percentage of tax than people making under $100k. I also book all my flights, hotels, etc for vacations through the company and get roughly a 30% discount vs a normie booking themselves.tl:dr the tax system benefits poorfags and high-earners. If you're entry-level middle class you get your ass fucked.
>>28845412I don't either I'm drowning
Are you ignoring one right now?
>>28831616For some reason the x3 excel is obd1 with an obd2 plug. so I couldn't find out what the problem was.current forester is fine, just gotta get the tint redone and polish the headlights.
>>28831616Yep. The last time I checked, it was a faulty O2 sensor heater. Can't be bothered to replace it.
>>28831616>CEL and severe oil burning on a Hyundai with the Theta I4 engine
>>28831616Yes. My winter beater has had one one for years. Don't really care. It's just an O2 sensor.
>>28831616Yes, I had to cut out my cat to get my car to run so I have a permanent CEL now. When I finish building the replacement engine I'll give it a new cat, no sense in buying one now that's just going to get clogged with blowby again.
>>28844275Doubtless not. For the most part it's optimized for where pavement is a thing. I haven't been on a bike, motorized or not, since 1982. The oldest car I've been is an aunt's late 40s Packard, the youngest a trash cop SUV that has to hit 6K on the tach to pass as I can at 3.5. First world problems: Wind noise can get in the way of listening to Brian Eno's Thursday Afternoon, if the wind is wrong, even in a luxury sedan on the finest roads on the planet, particularly over 70mph. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI60FePR_OA&list=RDe7Mq-ue0_9g&index=2
>>28844492Not that significant unless it's very fast setting/you're in it for hoursSome people are more susceptible but it's never been worse than sunburn for meI'm guessing the trash they dumped on the "road" didn't have much powder in it to begin with
>>28845103All you have to do is carry speed and lift a little bit when you encounter moments of wheelspin.I live in a swamp, I know how to get my golf cart through 6" of muddy water. I don't know if I've ever put the Wrangler out of RWD mode. Just carry speed.Any car can get through there, as long as they don't stop. If you must stop, stop at the most elevated places, where there's less water saturation and you can get grip from a stop.
>>28844275Why is this dumbass riding through the sections of unknown depth. I swear adventure bike fags are the most retarded.
>>28845273oh wow a college dorm in india proves something!
What's with the Japanese obsession with hydrogen?
>>28823588If I were to guess. Japan is desperate to be the leader in any technology.
>>28823588Japan frequently comes to the correct conclusion
>>28840358that sounds like rust

I inherited a 1954 ford customline and I'm fixing the failed fuel pump. I want to switch the mechanical fuel pump to an electric one, and was wondering what type of fuel regulator to use. is pic rel ($30 from amazon) good enough or should I get a holley one for over double the price? I assume they're already both made in china.
>>28841464I like how people dressed back then now everyone is dressed in thousand dollar big logo branded clothes made out of 100% polyester aka fucking plasic. Only natural fibers for me.
>>28842900they had polyester clothes back then retard
>>28839798Don't do that.
>>28841464honestly I would just make an adapter flange for a 2100/350cfm 2barrel.you can buy a used one off ebay for maybe 65 bucks and maybe a chink clone as a spare, they're pretty reliable.
>>28841470beware of oil filled guages as they can read incorrectly once the oil heats up after the engine has been running
Mfw the brake pedal softens up suddenly and i decide to drive home without brakes but it's ok because the handbrake and downshifts work just fine
>>28845298Same but with clutch
I've had to do both, but it was on the way TO work and I had no choice but to carry on. Couldn't drive back with no clutch, though.
>>28845298What shitbox?
I’ve seen a lot of these box truck rv conversions lately. I’ve seen builds with a full proper shower, toilet, kitchen, and even one with a spot for a motorcycle. These things actually seem livable, especially with rent being so high.The question is, are they actually viable? Does it really come out to be cheaper than renting an apartment, and can you actually find places to park and be left alone?
>>28843698I think my neighbors have one of these, they own what appears to be a Penske truck but it's smaller than any actual Penske I've seen and the graphics look brand new, which you wouldn't expect if they bought a used one. My bet is it's a stealth camper that they stickered up like a real Penske truck as a disguise.
>>28843734I know you're not in the US but that is based US Forest Service green
>>28845607its still cheaper than starting from scratch in termsn of material costs
>>28843698The only people who actually van life have trust funds. Once you actually crunch the numbers it's cheaper and more convenient to rent some small apartment.
>>28843698The convert a truck and live in it thing is a meme made up by youtubers for clicks. What I did was get cheep busu-sama and mount a receiver on it to tow a travel trailer with. Boondocking (no hookup camping) is fine sometimes, but if you live in it go stay at an rv park. Usually $400-600 a month depending on your locale, sometimes more. You give up a lot of conveniences living in a camper already, so limited amounts of runnung water, electricity, and sewage capacity gets old quick. Box vehicle + trailer is long, but gives you way more room to store shit. I paid $4500 for this bus with a 5.9 cummins that had 80k miles on it. Its not much cheaper than a cheapo apartment overall, but I own the bus and trailer outright and get to move around to cool places working temp jobs while seeing great sights and sometimes even putting away a little dosh.Like >>28844217 said, getting some land is the best case scenario if you can save up the cash, but moving around a few times a year is a great experience too. Whatever floats your boat.
I just got a new truck and after driving it for about 2 weeks now i think truck niggers are actually onto something.>fuck ton of room on the inside>rides high af you can see everything>4wd so you arent useless in 2 inches of snow>bigger engines and better transmissions by default>my presence on the road is actually acknowledged>actually practical so my resell value wont tankhonestly i dont get the small portion of people on here that hate these things, they're everything you need.
>>28846144Yeah, I accidentally mistyped my post. But, after considering deleting it, I laughed at the idea he'd see (my error) and do whatever he could to reaffirm himself despite it.
>>28846048>they're everything you need.Trvke. Now go ahead and splurge on a Raptor. Mine fucking FLOATS over the road better than a 70s Chrysler New Yorker. I'll never go back to a car shitter unless it's something absolutely rapidly mad like a Mono or a motorcycle engine swapped stripped mini. Fuck cars. They're shit.
>>28846126subaru is full time awd with an active differential and your gayniggermobile truck has open diffs
>>28846192My truck has an active diff in front and a diff lock in the rear
>>28846192>subaru is full time awdand yet they're always in snow berms and stuck in parking spots>gayniggermobile
What would happen if the Bronco and the Expedition had a baby?MUST HAVE:2 separate mallcrawler vs off road versions (highway vs off road tires and other things)larger than bronco, smaller than expedition (ideally wider AND longer than norm-bronco)v6 onlyno convertible bullshit
>>28845804I dont see any scouts.But I do see lots of Fords.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baja_500
>>28845780>this sounds like "employee was drunk and didn't brush off the dust after making the partsOver tens of thousands of engines and multiple years? No. IMO, it was worn out machinery that they knew needed to be fixed/replaced and DEI-focused management chose not to because fuck customers, what they gon' do?
>>28845780>>28845876Machinist here. Sounds to me like the most likely thing is that some engineer gave incorrect specs to production, which happens depressingly frequently since most are incapable of comprehending the world outside of CAD these days.
>>28845907Not about Ford, but someone said regarding Toyota, the engine fuck-up was that they specified a too-small bearing in hopes of saving on fuel economy but in doing so they fucked up the engine big time, and they blamed machine dust rather than admitting the design plans are flawed
>>28845804>back the Scouthere you go
Problem, officer?
>>28845993yeah you need to readjust your mirror and you were going 10 over the speed limit that'll be a 20k ticket sir
grown ass man with little dolls btw.
Trump ending Auto Start/Stop retardation.https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/auto-stop-start-effectively-dead-190515058.html
>>28846092Wut?Car bannination is still on in France.
>>28846101it's just more cope. >auto start/stop is better for your car, actually!>it costs nothing and you can just disable it!>trump is completely ruining the climate!>actually trump isn't even doing anything!fact is, these are all non car enthusiasts flooding to this board to bitch and moan about it. mostly because they have severe TDS. lots are probably bots or at least manually posting ai generated text. some are probably even being paid to do it.
>>28846106if you where "le car enthusiast" you would not be on 4ch
>>28846106lol
>>28846106Is this an anti bot bot. Are we finally seeing the end of Vogonity.Do you know you have an extra start stop battery that is tasked to fcuk your starter motor up umpty times a day. Are you aware how much those Items cost to replace every other year if you use them.Someone mechanic enabled that button in my car today. If I find them again I will fcuk them up.
what is the appeal of the lexus brand?what sets it appart from Mercadez and bmw and rolls royce or Christler or cadillac or lincion? what is the hype around it?
>>28846007>they're allergic to manual transmissions in the lineupno shit sherlock
>>28843101>>28845367Didn't happen to me yet, but thanks for the warning
>>28846015ok I checked, the rubber hose was already replaced for free with metal hoses in a Lexus dealer 10 years ago. I'm basically good.
>>28845968well yeah 2nd gen IS250s have anemic detuned engines with carbon build up issueseven it being the only trim that has a manual transmission isn't enough due to that transmission being godawfulif it were a 350 you'd be loving it
luv me pikachu yellow IS 500
