>110k miles>full service history>random fixes here and there and new cambelt and clutch at 80k>new tyres and air filterI've been a biker up until now. I ain't getting rid of my ninja though, but needed something for my new family. So uhh, guess I have some newbie questions...Is it safe to coat this in ACF50?Is it possible to change out the retro-ass radio?I've already decided to tint the back windows as they're clear right now, ummmm what else should I do to it?
>>28071344>Is it safe to coat this in ACF50?Sure>Is it possible to change out the retro-ass radio?Do you have time and /or money?>I've already decided to tint the back windows as they're clear right now, ummmm what else should I do to it?Leave it as and drive your shitbox
Liking how the vectra looks, are they decent or just another FWD shit box?

Christ just get the last model lancer if you want a cheap, boring car. Faster and at least look somewhat not gay. Opels are for grannys
Why are Americans interiors so awful? This is a car from 2005, I thought it was late 80s.
I like that look. The look of not a bunch of computers spying on and tracking you. The look of not remotely hackable.The look of inexpensively replacing controls or indicators, not some flat screen that controls everything and costs thousands when the screen or a wire goes bad and dealerships will only swap them out not spend the time to disassemble, diagnose, and fix them.I know multiple people that had a minor issue requiring center console computer replacement on newer cars and it cost thousands each time.

It is all propaganda spewed by the Chinese Communist party in CHina to kill all worldwide car brands that are not chionese because they make and sell EVs cheaper than anyone else even with tariffs. Every government pushing for EV wants your country to stop producing cars and buy them exclusively from China.Prove to me that EV shills are not CCP 50 cent army workers or i guess AI now.
>>28072060China heavily subsidizes all their techshit to both keep their economy "growing" and to storm western markets and capture said market>Loans are taken to pay off loans on loans, their whole economy is a favela style shitpileThus extreme tariffs on chinkshit are more than reasonable :^)
>>28072149Yet no one understands what the problem is when we are near war with China kek
>>28072060>Every government pushing for EV wants your country to stop producing cars and buy them exclusively from China.then why tariff chinese evs
>>28072167Trump did that and he doesn't run most countries or yours. Every country other than China is demanding full EV markets while their own car manufacturers die and are replaced by Chinese cars like Haval, MG, BYD, Nio and Zeekr because they are better and still cheaper than any home grown cars in any country other than Japanese cars in Japan.
>>28072171EU commies loves EVs yet are literally days away from ratifying 50% tariffs on chink EVs
i want to make my car look like this but not a shitty ai rendering
If you just want to visualize it, skinning in Assetto Corsa is super easy. The game gives you all the templates already, so its just a matter of just pasting your design over it and masking it to the part (they might come masked already, I can't remember offhand). I used to do it for fun to scratch the itch of wanting a real itasha. As for creating one for an actual car, designing is a bit easier in my opinion. Sometimes you bake the whole image into one sheet of vinyl, sometimes you layer it (one for background, one for character art, one for effects). Printing and installing is a whole separate thing to deal with, and the best advice I can give is find a shop who will install it and then figure out through them who you should contact to print it.>>28068166>i can afford to get a wrap printed and put on, but I don't have the time to design one right nowFind a designer and give some rough sketches for what you want if you want a hand in designing it. If you don't think you can make a good looking print file, have someone else do it for you. Spending a lot of money on a wrap and the art looking poor is, arguably, even more of a turn off than having anime car.>crimvaelAh, I fell for the bait thread
>>28071506Picrel is the texturemap for this one. Super easy stuff if you are at all familiar with digital graphics
>>28071389Just don't leave near blacks and you'll be fine
You can always get a wrap printed. Kinda want to do it myself, but >>28071389 makes a good point; yeah, you can just be careful where you park, but you know how it is, best laid plans of mice and men and shit. Of course, you're capable of beating the shit out of a vandal if you catch them, aren't you, OP?
愛車の一言アピール!!
I was driving and a notification popped up on my dashboard saying "Speed electronically limited to 129 MPH". How can I remove this? The speedometer goes up to 140 and I have every intention of using it. I drive a chevy impala if that matters.
>>28071359You don’t need to go that fast.
>>28071517would the car not recognize its in top gear and limit rpm?
>>28071359Yeah, because it probably has H rated tires on it from the factory, so it's limited to 1 mph below their test speed. Since you drive an impala, the tires on it now are probably mismatched cord-showing ching chongs and will explode above that speed. Proceed with caution.
>>28071359>remove limiter >goes 140mph>China shit driveshaft explodes >OP dies.
>>28071517You were supposedly able to do this on 2000s s10. No more limiter but also no speedometer or odometer. I never tried it
where the operators at?Best loader and why.I say Hitachi, comfortable, easy to operate, good feel on bucket level, powerful enough to do whatever it is you are doing without struggling and it feels safe, you can have 15 tonnes in the bucket reversing at 25kmh while turning with no fear of it rolling, wouldn't do that in another loader. Cat i can't tell what the bucket is doing and you are relying on the computer to tell you the level. Cats are nice for how powerful they are are and Komatsu for ease of operation but Hitachi just passes both imo. >900 seconds to get captcha Ger fucked Hiroshima Nagasaki, your latest plan to make me buy a 4fhan pass to post on the slowest board on the site has failed once again.Fucking retard.
The best front loader is the one that has the keys left in it. Time for a gladiator dual.
>>28072112I doubt you could start a loader and drive it even if the keys were left in it.How would you start then drive pic related Normie?
>>28072151Thirty years ago not knowing startup procedure or how to get it into gear might be enough to consider a machine secure. These days though most people could figure it out pretty quick with a quick search online. If it's anything like a tractor I would be fine.On a somewhat related note I wouldn't be surprised if some random could figure out how to get a plane started. Likely they'll roll into another plane instead of getting it on the runway but they can probably get it rolling. It's always funny to watch a new pilot start turning the yoke thinking that the plane will do anything.
>>28072162I could tell you how right now and i still doubt you could.first you need to turn the isolator switches off, then you need to turn the ignition on then press another isolator switch located somewhere in the cab good luck finding it and then once it is on you need to turn a dial then press a button to start it, once it is started you need to turn the parking brake off then figure out how to turn the hydraulics on to turn side to side then you need to figure out how to make it move.Good luck without being shown how it is done.
>>28072166Sounds like a modern tractor. Here's your reddit gold.
Ok... So what should I buy then?
>>28071199Hyundai N cars only
>>28071227
>>28071199>So no one should ever buy a new car?Correct. Those corporate execs will never learn if share value doesn't go down.
>>28071194I thought Scotty died again???
>>28071194I love Scotty but the clickbait titles piss me off, his next video will probably be “WHY THIS NEW TOYOTA IS THE ONLY CAR YOU SHOULD BUY!”
Is Greyhound salvageable? If someone took it over and cared about intra city bus transportation could it be good?
>>28071488Checked.>>28071538Public transportation is all down to this.
>>28071530If they brought back the Scenicruiser as it were, that would be the only way to salvage Greyhound. Instead it's become Shitskin Lines, Inc.™
>>28071488It would be super neato if Greyhound operated in conjunction with Amtrak. You know like have a fucking bus stop at Amtrak stations. Or maybe just a small shuttle to the nearest Greyhound station.
>>28071488interesting threadshit has been fucked up here in Canada since greyhound died. lots of routes are unbussable now
>>28071488I took a three day trip via Greyhound once when I was younger, and by the morning of the second day I was already contemplating suicide.The only people who take long distance bus trips are the kind of people who cannot afford air travel. I would literally rather fly a redeye 9-11 Airlines flight stuck between two fat guys in coach on a Boeing 737 MAX piloted by a borderline retarded DEI hire Sha'Ni'qua amd co-piloted by a 31 year old depressed suicidal poo in loo after getting randomly selected to have my lower intestines explored by a fat balding middle aged TSA agent whose wife just left him and now he's gonna take it out on everyone he meets than EVER take another Greyhound bus again.
What are some suggestions to add more "luxurious" features to an econobox? I already added felt lining to the glove box, and TuxMat floor mats. My car is upper trim and actually has lots of features, but what else could be added?I have a Mazda3 Turbo PP.
>>28070545Velour floor mats instead of rubber ones
>>28070545spraycan the wheels black5% tint all aroundmassive subwooferstronger led headlights
>>28070545Hire a chauffeur so you can enjoy champagne and cigars while Jeeves drives you around.
>>28070545Tile the roof. Make a oak wood dash board. Fire place in the back, leather sofas front and rear etc...
>>28071915I have also seen top gear

I'm a tall guy and my hand-me-down Honda Fit is annoying to stoop down to get in and out of. And the electronics have started shitting themselves.SUVs are gay, I don't need a truck, so what are my options for something higher up off the ground other than a rape van?
Buy a charger
>>28063137nigger im taller than you and 220lbs cut and i drive a miata. maybe you should get measured for real and once you discover youre actually 5'9" you can buy a dually
>>28066101Utterly insane levels of cope
>>28066101i love being tall :^] its cool and good
just get a Civic or Accord bro.
>miata gone up in price cos of the meme>civic gone up in price because muh Ripon steel>toyota gone up in price because of the reliability reputationWhat is an actually good little jap car tha tis actually cool and sporty that isn't getting ridiculous price wise? I don't want to resort to a gay Honda Fit.
>>2807019290s/00s CRV. DOHC B series, manual transmission, AWD, vast aftermarket, cheap as heck.
>>28070192the meme has words in itI don't get it
spoiler alert: OP can't actually afford a car
Buy a 20 year old Harley you fucking pussy
>>28070192I know of two Honda Jazz owners in my area and both are pensioners.Just FYI.
I tried motorcyle camping TWICE and it fuckin sucked. What am I poor? I have to sleep on the ground like a chump?Youtube made it seem cool like an adventure but it sucked. And all I wanted to do after a day on the motorbike is get a hotel room. Not set up a fuckin tent and crawl in and be uncomfortable.
>>28071879Am I poor or fiscally responsible for spending a couple hundred on a sleeping setup once, and then either paying very little or nothing to sleep in very scenic places right by places I want to ride, instead of getting ripped a new asshole by hotel prices constantly?
>>28071886Yes. Besides your very specific referencing of hotel prices, if all you wanted to do was go riding in a particular area, you'd just load you bike on a trailer behind a camper.
>>28071897You answered an "or" with a yes, so I get to choose for you and say fiscally responsible. Ditto for a stupid fucking RV.
>>28071883>next timeYou're a funny guy.
>>28071384>Sometimes I think I’m the only non-retarded person on the planetThe ability to recognize patterns to make general statements is what sets humans apart from lesser apes.
