Stupid questions general thread
>music USB stick malfunctions, keeps disconnecting, can't be formatted, car reports an error trying to read it >buy a new one, format it to the appropriate format, everything same as the old one>car doesn't even recognize it>USB port is capable of charging my phoneWhat are the chances that the actual port is defective?

>>28216377Stupid Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread
>>28216379Here's the secret... they're just trying to wear you down and get you to accept it.So it's up to you if you dont mind getting fucked dry but if you do mind then just keep on it. It's like the cops, this is their job, they do it every single day, as soon as they hang up with you there's gonna be some other asshole they're trying to jew down, it's just business. Although this is a great time if you're truly an autist or a sperg with a lot of time and energy.So which character are you going to be?
Say you are about to cross the country South to North (Plymouth-Inverness) in 250 mile per day stretches. Where would you spend those two nights without getting your bike stolen or being mugged/stabbed by cultural enrichers. Camping is preferred but a small B&B in a peaceful town will do as well
>>28212910You can in Scotland, as long as you're not disturbing anything. In England it's not allowed unless you have the permission of the land owner so unless you're stealthy it's best avoided. Although you won't get into any real trouble for it, just an angry farmer kicking you off his land.Oh also if you're going through the Yorkshire Dales go via Buttertubs Pass too, that's another good one.The NC500 is incredible, I hope you enjoy it anon! If you find yourself in Applecross consider staying at the campsite there, the owner is lovely and did me a massive favour when I broke down.>>28212974Agreed, that'll be a nice route. Looking at it, that's the way I went on my LEJOG trip. Much nicer than going through the central Midlands.
>>28212974>>28212989Legends. I will stick to Scotland for the camping then. I don't want to be yet another foreigner causing trouble to be honest. B&Bs are good to stay rested until I reach Inverness. I assume in Scotland there's no issue in taking a dip in any lake or river either right?
>>28213251Only issue is that a lot of our rivers are contaminated with sewage, not sure if Scotland is the same but probably best avoided. As for lochs, go for it. They will of course be freezing cold.
>>28211605>B&B in a small townSorted. That's all you need. Try to spend some time in Wales. Extremely good roads out there. Aberystwyth is a great place to stay overnight.
>>28215642Will do if I can. The ferry from Spain is stupidly expensive so I'm currently looking at the Eurotunnel and the ferry from Calais.It'll most likely be the latter because the company/authority managing the tunnel charge you more the longer you stay visiting, which is borderline usury.
post you are vidya cars

Why do Infiniti’s always sound like shit with anything but an OEM exhaust?
>>28216202>Why do Infiniti’s always sound like shit with anything but an OEM exhaust?Probably because their owners never buy a good exhaust and only go for the loudest ones.
>>28216202They sound like shit even with the OEM exhaust. They sound like dying dinosaurs. At least when you straight pipe something like a V6 minivan it sounds like a 911.
>>28216202I hate stance fags so much it's unreal.
>>28216202If they didn't, you wouldn't notice them

>Tfw, no safe space to wrench your car and store it while waiting for parts to arrive.>Tfw cant do any work that require disconnecting the battery because then you car will be left open>tfw cant learn to properly wrench, cant afford to just dissamble stuff for fun
>>28217150The driver's door should still have a mechanical way to lock and unlock the car. Usually they have a hidden key blade somewhere in the FOB, and the key hole is hidden under a plastic cap or something. Look up "[your car] manual lock" or something like that.
Did some wrenching on a friend's Merc, next is a little bit of service on this old lady.OP, if you can't buy a place, rent a place.
>>28217153>>28217157holy fuck
>>28217164
i wish i had an equivilent of a walled in industrial car park or a beached aircraft carrier to wrench in
Turned too tight in a parking garage. Should I even pay to fix this? Camry with 161k miles
Someone scratched my bumper yesterday in a parking lot. No idea who did it but car repairs are jewishly expensive. $800 OP or $13 for this and forget about it.
>>28214953>Snake oilWaste of money
>>28214953what do you think this is gonna do for you lmao
>>28214534true, id charge at least a grand
>>28214534Yes you should do that yourself but that is what people will charge retard. Stop throwing a tantrum
Why do I think used car prices are going up?Used car prices track new cars prices. Thus used car prices are going to go up. I previously believed they would go down, based on my false optimism/hope. Not seeing any movement for years I have now seen the error of my ways. The difference between now and 2015 is that ten years ago car manufacturers were building cars that people wanted at a FAIR price. Now car makers are building cars people don't want at an UNFAIR price. What happened? How do the makers get away with it? Makers have realized that they will never be held accountable for collusion and price fixing and they have monopoly power. They probably feel foolish for not realizing this sooner. So much like our western democracy's governments they have stopped listening to their citizens/consumers. They don't care how you vote, they will do whatever they want. They know you have nowhere else to go. You the citizen/consumer is trapped. You will buy whatever they give you and you will be happy.Car makers have a monopoly and if they fail to sell their cars they will be bailed out by the government. What incentive do car makers have to actually serve their customers? Profits don't matter because of bailouts. Monopolists don't need to serve their customers, they give them a Hobson's choice.Hence, that's why used car prices are going to go up. I don't ever see them going down again unless we have some sort of accountability in car makers which I don't see ever happening in my lifetime; because the only thing car makers fear is the governments which they have captured through lobby/donations/bribes. Western democracies no longer listen to their citizens. How you vote no longer matters in these so called democracies. We are all slaves to the elite upper class oligarchs who enrich themselves at our expense. The governments ensure zero competition threatens their stranglehold.
>>28216756>Why do I think used car prices are going up?Because most new cars suck.

>>28208564How much towing have you done with it, considering you’ve only had it for two weeks? Did you opt for the vastly superior hybrid with a basically indestructible transmission, or the 2L turbo that’s guaranteed to overheat and the 8-speed automatic/hand grenade?>>28209598>I opted for the LariatThose look like the 17” solid rims available on the XL and XLT. The Lariat only comes with 19” rims that look nothing like them (see pic).
>>28216725It's a Lariat hybrid with the winter wheel package, which means an extra set of steelies with winter tires on themMight be a confusing concept for southerners
>>28216767Actually, yes. It’s 70°F today. We only see snow once every once every 4 or 5 years (2” expected on Tuesday; the entire city is going to be shut down; expecting lots of cars sliding off the road). I had no idea this was an option from the factory and just assumed it was something you’d have to figure out on your own.
>>28216816If there's a way for stealerships to make money, they'll capitalize on itA seperate winter set is a great idea, but he massively overpaid for them. Most people often do get smaller steelies, or cheap alloys for winter, basically you want a narrower tire to cut through the snow and find pavement underneath instead of a wider tire that'll just float over snow
Fucked up the thread name, so here we are I guess. Moving on; new years is but a few hours away, so what are your Miata related resolutions?Previous Thread - >>28165332
>>28216964Kek I was speaking to someone just now who was sure they go in the pillar.So while there is an area for them to go, pic rel is what I'm missing, the metal bit to hold them in place and I'm not sure if it can be screwed in anyway.
>>28216981nvm I found a couple of used ones online for £20. Only question is if the small holes in pic rel are strong enough (or even capable of) having 1/2" screws.
>>28216981I know it's even more money on top, but you *could* get these on eBay.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266359659624Not sure how the mounting system would work for the JBL tweeters, though. They have little tabs on the back side, but I think you need to push it through the front of the door card, not the backside. Might be worth just getting coaxials, you just unplug the old ones and put in the new.
>>28216993yeah that was the listing I found, there's a bunch of universal ones that may fit also.The Stage1 tweeter has a screw hole in the back centre, so I think it can all work together.
>>28216990>>28216993>nvm I found a couple of used ones online for £20.kek, same thinking>Only question is if the small holes in pic rel are strong enough (or even capable of) having 1/2" screws.I mean, so long as those screws are the same as they used from factory, they should be fine. Just be careful when driving them in. Worse comes to worst, you could make new mounts out of tubing and epoxy, like I had to on my door card.
Im a male office worker in the city. What car should I get to distinguish myself from manual labor workers , service workers, and retail workers? And also to show females my status
>>28215785Neither of those cars are luxury, nor are they sporty.You both literally have mom cars.
>>28210449The only type of car that i’ve seen attract ANY attention from women are classics. Women could not care less about any car made after 2000 unless it’s some exotic or other special type of car.
>>28210449King ranch or higher trim of f150. will get you pussy and points with your bosses.for a car I would get Audi they are extremely popular with upper class here in northeast.
>>28213619>Nearly three quarters of cars are either white, black or grey for the last fifteen years.Ugh. The future looks bleak.

>IT WILL BE FUN, they said.I'm going back to 1969 fuck this shit
I think "without ABS" is implied when that advice is given.
>>28214273This is why you take it to a grease monkey for boring electrical shit.
>>28214273I don't see the problem. If it's that big of an issue just replace the ABS module or bypass it.
