Either because you had to sell it or it became a total loss due to a car accident like pic related
>>29106536Reminds me of my 84 Bronco 2. I don't know I had a lemon, but that piece of crap could barely get itself up a hill. Still, it has a good look I think. If I still had it I could make it into something pretty special.
Almost every car I've sold, I regret selling. If I had a big piece of land to build a garage for them all, I'd have kept them. So many awesome cars.
>>29106586That does look cool, I'm terrified of owning anything with special glass though. Some jealous nog can just ruin my life with one simple trick with a rock.
>>29104595employment is a bigger scam

Ooops
>>29106388Fucking stancefags
>>29106625No buddy my wheels are hubcentric so the centre bore bears the entire vehicle weight. No matter how much I shock load them, if the wheel face slips from the hub face, the studs will only flex rotationally around the centre axis.With no hub to keep the wheel concentric, any slip between the wheel face and the hub face will almost certainly result in the wheel going ECCENTRIC, and if the wheel goes eccentric even slightly then the sheer force on the studs multiplies massively.So if you combine all the factors here of the TWO spacers which provides an extra slippery surface between the wheel face and hub face, the complete lack of concentric locating which means any hub face slip will make the wheel go eccentric, AND the enormous stickout which means the eccentric sheer loading will have way more leverage over the studs, it's easy to see why 5 snapped wheel studs is the result they got.
>>29106645>hubcentric so the centre bore bears the entire vehicle weightFuck anon, Jesus Christ.(Is king)Hub centric wheels don't hold up 100% of the load.Often times that's simply used for centering the wheel.Most Corvettes for example are hub centric but only 1/8in of the wheel touches the center 2.78in bore.Nigga, you think a hub Bore keeps your wheels from spinning on the hubs?Fucking hell anon, like fuck.
>>29106799Spinning on the hub was addressed in my post buddy.Yes a hub can easily support the weight of a vehicle provided the wheel studs are providing TENSION <(this is their job, to provide tension and not bear sheer load)
>>29106522>>29106440I honestly don’t know how people like this have so much more money than I do for cars and it depresses me.
Is the RX8 a platform worth getting into?Or any rotary?
>>29106120It's factory rice, Spirit R(ice), the license plate mount was a legal requirement, the earlier FDs didn't need to comply with that
>>29106116The '99 spec front bumper looks goddamn gorgeous when it's smoothed to remove the front plate mount. I get why it's there, it was never sold in markets that didn't mandate front plates, but fitting one to a car in a non-retarded country/state just looks so good.

How long do (you) run tires before replacing them?
>>29102086Whenever the warranty on my michelins is out.
>>29102086>How long do (you) run tires before replacing them?6 years or 3mm
>>29102086Until the metal racing bands get exposed. Or when they start failing to hold air.
>>29102113I'm thinking of getting HTs for my forester
40k-60k miles with 5000 mile tire rotations.
we're going to fix American carsAny vehicle over 201 inches, or over 3701lbs will require a "heavy standard vehicle" licence.Any vehicle that gets tax breaks or different emissions, safety etc standards is now a commercial vehicle, and you need a commercial licence to drive it.These license won't be restrictive or difficult to get, if you really want that F250 for driving down the highway to go to work at the office, you can get it. But Sandra from accounting? She'll take the Maverick instead, something more reasonable. Imagine if every massive SUV was driven by someone who took at least a weekend course in how to drive the modern land yauht? And the terrible drivers who don't actually give a shit were in smaller cars that were easier to drive, because they didn't want to do the two weekend course to get the licence.
>>29105935Just quoting what is, rather than my opinion. I have a heavy rigid license, so I can drive any non-articulated truck, so the weight breaks really don't bother me.>>29106038OP probably just pulled it out of his ass. I expect his mum's car weighs about 3695lb.
>>29105310I would just tax them at a higher rate. Sort of an annoying retard tax.
>>29106038a ford maverick
>>29105310>3701lbsSo most sedans?
I drive an expedition max 50% of the time I hope this psychically wounds you
how to get better at driving? I've had my license for 10 years but only just now got my first car and I feel like everyone honks at me when I do anything
>>29106606Have you tried not being a retard?
>>29106606Drive 5-10mph over or everyone will hate you. Physically turn your neck to check blind spot before changing lanes. These 2 things will probably reduce 95% of the honking.
Also stay away from everyone else as much as you can
this guy was so ahead of his time
>>29106245I get what you mean modern cars are fat, but this is contrarian garbage modern "art"See, usually Ferraris are sleek and muscular, but what if they were, like, the opposite?something something challenging societal beauty standards"it's supposed to make you think"erm, hate is an emotion, therefore this is good art
>>29106380>but this is contrarian garbage modern "art"Stop stealing my lines
>>29106245There's one of those Porsche fat cars at a museum near me (MONA). I don't really get it. I'm more interested in other forms of automotive art.
>>29106619>a museum near me (MONA)It maybe that actual car. Looks very similar.
Wurm’s fat projects aim at critiquing the consumer culture and the Western culture’s appetite for material objects. The artist once noted that many consumers are fascinated with having bigger cars and bigger houses, which is what he creates in these works of art. Wurm believes that cars are like a religious symbol in modern culture, so he decided to show that affectation in physical form.
On a scale of 1-10, how hard are the following maintenance/repairs?>engine air filter>brake fluids>CVT fluids>brake padsI have zero tools btw.
>>29106264I appreciate your lady hands very much
>>29106172thats all incredibly easy. idk about that cvt fluid change tho id never be caught dead with a car with that
>>29106451We live in a society
>>29106172A brake flush isn't hard (on a new vehicle with no rust) but if you fuck it up you could kill yourself and/or others.
For you it’s a 10For me it’s a 1

>>29102313you only have so much time to harvest a crop before it gets too old to sell at a profit, or goes rotten altogether.downtime waiting for internet parts is downtime costing money. not to mention tractor parts have as much if not more DRM than Apple products so you have to tow your equipment to an approved mechanic instead of being able to fix it yourself.
>>29105225Depending on the part, it has to be "registered" with an onboard ECU/VCU for it to even work.The EPA mandated bullshit for Diesels has been the main impetus for this bullshit.Pretty much everything outside of emissions controls or fuel scheduling you can basically bypass (Dumb, non 'bus' shit like OPD switch or Neutral safety switch). But anything emissions related? Yeah, that shit is under layers of fuckery. to the point that there are registerable serial numbers for DPF's that are required to "activate" the fuckign things.The slime are pushing this shit for the home user grade stuff as well. You'll eventually see it in stuff like handheld hedge trimmers and string-trimmers, unless you buy "electric" and god help you with that flavor of fuckery because it is all built to fail bullshit.

>>29105329if it sits on the ecu you are propably fucked just like on a car.If it just sits on the canbus its whatever.Is this a deere thing of exhausts just exploding btw? Because i can say an engine or gearbox blowing up on a modern tractor is quite rare around here and across all makes.

>>29105670That sounds like an impressive waste of time and money.
>>29104802Thanks, fag
>>29105693Dude seems like he has enough money to do dumb shit like that, which is kinda commendable.
>>29104609It better be that fast for that kind of money

Are these good cars? Should i get one?
It doesn't matter whether you think you should or notYou won't.
>>29105864>Are these good cars?Yeah>Should i get one?Only if you live in Japan, so getting parts for it isn't a huge pain in the ass. And given it would be 25 to 30 years old you're most likely going to need parts.And also only if you're versed in the maintenance/upkeep requirements of a rotary engine.
>>29105864>Are these good cars? They're unique and lovely cars.>Should i get one?Probably not. At minimum, you'll need another car, deep pockets and a sense of humor.
>>29105864start with a cragslist USDM rotary and then decide for yourself if that was worth it. incredible pinnacle of japanese engineering car, but i assure you intensely difficult to own and maintain if you arent already a rotary guy, no domestic parts for 20Bs, suspension, anything body related.
Stop honking at garbage trucks, what the fuck is wrong with you people? Do you think it's gonna pull over or something?

No doubt it's fast but those who drove it say that steering feels numb and cars like Lotus Emira and Alpine A110 are more fun than C8 Stingray. There's a guy who drove 50 Vettes of all generations. He said C8 is his least favorite generation other than C1 and C8 ZR1 doesn't make much sense for canyon roads because he could only use full throttle for like 1 minute in total within 4 days of driving.
>>29106132you could just like the shitbox you have over all the cars you don't; why chase the latest and greatest thing? In 2 years there will just be a c9 corvette, and a few years after that, a c10. It doesn't fucking matter.

my dream car is a white 2020 Lexus gs F with black and white interior but i want to modify and upgrade the v8 engine to go super fast so it can outrun or at least keep up with an m3 or a hellcathow do i achive this?
If you have to ask, it's outside of your ability to achieve.
