Which ones are good and affordable?
>>28846086You're kinda right here i think classics like bullitt, vanishing point really help too.but there are timeless designs, fiat 500 for example that isnt even boomer material at least in USA. Then there's boomerslop. Esp the shitty ugly mods they do that you see all the time in car shows here.
>>28846122I just posted about fiat 500 above then read u making similar pointyeah the 60s and 70s american industry was producing a LOT of truly timeless designs. Growing up associating murikkkan muscle with car shows and cringe boomers i had to actually distance myself from that to even see it, but jfc, some of that stuffs on par with the accepted high end european classics of the era.Not all of it however boomerslop is a serious concern but then again when prices collapse on it, it will be because nobody none of us in the entire thread want it
>>28846173Yeah, popular mid century cars were featured extensively in movies and TV and that drives the values up because everyone sees them as cool. Even in modern shows and movies, mid century classics like muscle cars are frequently used for cool characters. Pic related.
>>28843876kids got their license the day they turned 16, the modern phenomenon of 26 year olds too scared to drive and relying on their parents to take them places was utterly alien.
>>28846561>too scared to driveI thought it was because cars were expensive?
The Ultimate Kino Machine
I mean, it's a bit loud innit.It would be annoying having a surface to air missile on the back of your car. It would hurt your ears. I like to relax.
I remember that E38 getting posted early on in the war, along with this thing and a 6 series with a machine gunSo, in a way that 7 series has been in service for almost 4 years, but I don't think it has actually seen that much action in that time, because all it does is lobbing some unguided missiles in a general direction
>>28845471I think the old Toyota 4WD's make better war machines, but I guess European armies have to make do.
>>28845471Old 2wd gas guzzlers aren't kino
>>28846521takes just one fuck up of he gunner and the driver is toast.
weenie
hows the handling on these things
nurburgring time?
>>28845183goddamn combo breakers
>>28845181any other cars like this?
>>288452196:32:34
why didn't propane cars catch on?
Op are you a road ranger too?
>>28840925How many people end up putting gas in their diesel or DEF in their fuel tank and do you trust these people to properly handle and fill propane tanks in your immediate vicinity?
>>28842765>its like 3/5th of people are this retardedUnderrated chuckle.The only people I've seen in the states with propane setups are hardcore offroaders, who like it because you get consistent fuel flow no matter what angle the truck is at.>>28837142How many gallons to a fill-up? How many miles do you get between fills? Fucking cool set up. Lose weight btw.
>>28837208Yes, that's right. LPG tank in a car is going to be in the 100-200PSI range, a normal CNG tank is pushing 3600PSI. This is becoming a regular occurrence in Brazil.
>>28836081Because the government let's foreign companies extract it and sell it at 3 cents per litre overseas while we pay absurd amounts for it. LPG was always the future there is more of it than oil and that reality wasnt good for business so only 3rd world shitholes get cheap fuel.
can they really do 480kmh in 3rd gear?
Yeah down the mooney mooney bridge
>>28843130Yes. You just need a deep enough mine-shaft to push it down
>>28843130Yeah put it inside a cargo plane and park it in 3rd gear with the engine shut off Pretty sure cargo planes can go that fast
>>28843130Well, I suppose if you had a straight stretch of track with a level grade, and you weren't haulin' no cars behind ya, and if you can get the fire hot enough, and I'm talkin' about hotter than the blazes of Hell and damnation itself... then yes, it might be possible to get her up that fast.
>>28843130with a NA+T barra yes
Daihatsu Copen explainedhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/VSIKWuEzcf4
>>28845673why would it be
>>28845696Why wouldnt it be?
>>28845716it's much smaller, $15k cheaper, and 500lbs lighter.
>>28845673A Miata is not a kei car. Kei cars have regulations and restrictions.
>>28845599>Daihatsu Copenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekp_VsXxKnE
these guys are 10x for $3. Why should I pay $15, 20, 25 + for a fancy magnetic drain plug?whats stopping you from slapping one of these on your existing plug?whats the worst that could happen? it aint gonna go far from the drain bolt.
I put a strong magnets in my steel transmission pan and oil pansCatches a lot of metal shavings, keeps my engine healthy, feels good man, pro grade trade secrets
>>28844033Why isn't the entire oil pan magnetized?
>>28844325If there's one spot that's magnetized it gets concentrated into a neat pile.
>>28844325The oil pan would get covered in magnetic road shit
>>28844033Many transmissions are made with magnets in the pan, I've seen it in Fords and Toyotas so I'm sure others do it, too.

I kinda want r1250gs but I cant afford it
>>28846651>>28846651>>28846651>>28846651bred
>>28846405connector got cooked
>>28847424gee whiz, missing a male piece, it broke off
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
>>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!
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?
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
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
