Why do people say that AWD is bad for drifting?Sure, the "sport" of "drifting" is designed around RWD, but when it comes to the actual act of sliding cars around a corner, AWD does very well.In fact, when comparing modern AWD rally cars (Rally1/Rally2) to their RWD counterparts (RallyGT), it's very obvious that the AWD cars drift far more often on tarmac. That means that if the goal is to go as fast as possible, you actually benefit far more from drifting with AWD than you do with RWD.
>>28216749>those tire tracksI guess that's one way to get the RWD experience

Why you guys think that driving manual is entertaining? It's not.

>>28214409>smoked lights>Basketball-Americans across the streetWhat shithole is this?
>>28214475seems like minnesota
>>28194566For me, it's because a manual gives you many opportunities to fuck up and it feels good when you could've fucked up but didn't. Or maybe since there's just more things to do, it's less boring. But I've never driven an automatic so maybe my opinion doesn't count
I have a spare Chevrolet LR4 4.8l engine sitting around collecting dust. What would be a good car to swap this thing into?
>>28216228Your pick of anything originally powered by a small block chevy. Easy babby's first engine swap and a genuine improvement with just as much of an endless aftermarket, if not more.
>>28216228RSX
>>28216228import a daihatsu copen, skip the gearbox and weld driveshafts directly to the crankshaft
>>28216354That's an LS4.
>>28216228Literally anything.
If I just want a shitty econobox to allow me to save for the car I ACTUALLY want, what is the best one I can get for under 6-7k that won't break down on me trying to get to my job at the asbestos factory I'm bumfuck pennsylvania
>>28215356Shiw me a 7th gen civic auto that's not CVT. I'll wait.
>>28215443>Which part?The part where any BMW is easy to wrench on.
>>28216150like, all of them. except the hybrid model that nobody bought
>>28216070is there any of these that haven't had their suspension go out by now
>>28216265>except the hybrid model that nobody boughtThe 6th gen hybrid had a CVT, the only one with it. All 7th gens with an auto have a cvt except the occasional early DX which used leftover 6th gen parts. They are all CVT, 4 or 5 spd. Doesn't matter. Honda was one of the 1st to dive into it, and their CVTs are better than most, but they need regular fluid changes. I change the fluid in them every oil change post 150k.
Are they ever worth it?
1990-2016 Defenders are the real deal.
>>28214452I have a 1975 S3 shorty, when it's happy it's an amazing off-road vehicle. When they're pissed, they're extremely pissed.
No
No. Bloody awful. For the majority of the planet the first motorised vehicle they ever saw was a Land Rover,Are you in or what?
>>28214452>Are they ever worth it?With either a literal bulletproof 300tdi, or td5 engine, then yes.If it can survive Iraq and Afghanistan during two wars, then it can survive driving to and from the shops.
>All right, I'm showing you my broken Cybertruck rims. I don't know what kind of steel they are made of or if it's some kind of special metal alloy or something.">But it's almost like cider block; it crumbles, he says as he walks to the back of his Cybertruck. He reveals the rear wheel is also broken off at the studs. >"This one broke off with the lugs and part of the wheel still attached. It almost broke off in a perfect circle. They aren't supposed to break off in a perfect circle like that.”>It's so weird, it's concerning. Is there a defect with the Cybertruck? He says that even in a crash, the Cybertruck rims shouldn't crumble. >Jordan finishes, "I seriously think the Cybertruck Rims need a recall! Have y'all ever seen a rim snap off in a perfect circle?"
>>28215779There were a few manufacturers that this happened with iirc, mitsubishi and mazda off the top of my head.Not sticking up for cyberfuck, just saying that happens sometimes.

Car scene is getting more boring each year
>>28215815Toyota is cooking up some crazy shit for the second generation of GR line up so quite the opposite actually
>>28215815>Introduce naturally aspirated Lexus that can get smoked by a mustang gt and charge 70k for it. >No mods. No bolt ons. >No one wants it except the small community of weebs with jobsYou guys weren't actually surprised by this were you?
>>28215815weird frankenstein chassis car that never got the r&d it deserved anyone else notice that ownership of this thing was minuscule? coworker had one, got rid of it in a couple years. neighbor had one, got rid of it in 2. moved, another neighbor down the street had one and replaced it in the year. rare as hell to see one on the road. pretty grim. GS F is the actual tragedy. >IS basically replaced it!ok it got wider but the interior is still the same cramped, economy, small sedan from a decade ago. a real luxury sports sedan is sorely missed. the LS is so boring i don't think i've noticed a single one on the road in years even though sales appear to be pretty decent. it melts into the crowd of ES's. Lexus's lineup sucks and the new LFA replacement is meaningless because it will be as unobtainable as the LFA.
>>28215815I didn't even know rhis thing existed until yesterday, I thought the last coupe yota made was the LC
>>28215815God, imagine if they put the NA V8 in the Supra or the 86
A truck bed would have saved it.
Americans will now buy your car
>>28215746Lazy. You can Americanize it without losing the branding that you know they'd refuse to give up. It's also cute you both think it would get a bigger bed than cabin.
>>282164711 million in sales (leases) to brown people in America for its first year for sure
>>28215319ROR
XM aside (everyone just bought the X5M instead) BMW just had their best sales year yet
how the fuck does something like this even happen?
>>28210238Incompetence.You have to remember that China is new to driving all things considered. 20 years ago the majority of their population was on their first generation of drivers, as in most people getting a license and buying a car were the first people in their familial line to ever do so. By contrast when I got my license 10 years ago I was the fourth generation of my family to learn to drive. So there was very little skill to go around in China when it came to putting hundreds of millions on the road for the first time. Under supply of driving instructors, no parents to have picked up driving skills from through observation over childhood, and lack of skilled drivers around you on the road to learn by example.In that webm I suspect that most of those people simply aren't aware of how much braking force their car actually has because no one ever told them and they never saw someone brake hard ever in their life. So they see the hazard ahead and muscle memory means they just hit the brake with the amount of force they typically would before simply accepting their fate.

Is there another car from the past 25 years that is as loathed as this?
>>28216290It's been a while since I've seen a new bug. I wonder where they all went? A couple people I knew had them, I drove them now and then, and it was better than I expected. A real car not like the weirdness of the PT Cruiser.
>>28216305A line of cars owned exclusively by women is doomed to go extinct. It would be fun to engine swap one though, imagine rolling around in a slug bug sleeper
>>28216305VW discontinued the Beetle a while ago
>>28215885The recent explosion really fucking raises a lot of questions and I don't think ANY of them have been answered yet.>Elon had SOME level of surveillance or access to the cybertruck the whole time
>>28216305>A real car not like the weirdness of the PT Cruiser.it's the same fucking car thoughpt is just a neonbeetle is a golfthey are not actually different on the inside, in fact the only thing that makes most cars different is the outside parts.
>Hey anon, you do know how to wrench right?So /o/? How would you respond?
yeah. don't you?
>>28211368It's a kia, bro, why would I tryhard a fucking kia?
>>28212999>Like who sees this shit and thinks “uhm yes, that makes sense yes”People that aren't brain-damaged by constant tiktok exposure.
>>28212999That's a you problem. Apart of design details that could be surprising, the general building blocks are very much the same on basically all cars.>>28213802I can perkele a bit outside My Summer Car, my wife lived in Finland for a few years. Some words stuck, we still use words like "maito" and "minullä on nalga".I'll do OPs girl's tires, iykwim.
>>28211005Never gonna happen. She doesnt care if you can wrench, in fact she finds it cringe that your car is old enough to need wrenching.
What do you say?
How about I give you one of these instead?
>>28216255what if it’s a woman or tranny
>>28216237The best demeanor to take is look very scared and sorry for anything you may have done. Like you've never been pulled over before and are legit afraid and sorry. I've pulled over a lot of normies who likely never had a police contact before then and so long as I feel like it was a stern enough warning and they're not going to do it again, I won't give them a ticket. You can also throw in some speel on how poor you are, I can't bring myself to ticket some paycheck to paycheck pleb or starving student and have ripped up a ticket after writing it because they said they really have no way of paying it. If it was an egregious enough violation sorry you're still getting it, take the driving class so it doesn't put points on your record, not that they even mean anything. The fines are like $100 so I don't get why people shit their pants over traffic tickets.If it's highway patrol or some highway town cops, you're getting a ticket. They're not real cops, totally different job with only some vague similarities believe it or not. If you get a ticket from a busy city cop you really fucked up, they're way more focused on criminal matters than some bored podunk cop.

what's the officer, problem?
Looking to buy an f-150 xl soon. For sure I am going to get one with the 5.0. From 2011, to 2023, what year is the best year for these 5.0 f-150 xl's?
>>28213473Good looking out anon, going to go test drive an 2016 xl i found near by a city away.
Why specifically an XL?It's just a trim level.It affects price but in the used market you'll see deals on XLTs and Lariats.
>>28213896He can get crank windows, and a single cab, not possible for xlt or lariat. If he wanted nanny features he would have gotten a sex change already.
>>282119442011-2014 might only have the first gen engine, but the bed is still steel. After 2015 they went to aluminum. Less tech also means cheaper and less electronics to fix WHEN they go bad and not IF.
>>28213896I don't want any of the fancy tech overpriced luxury feature stuff that goes bad. I just want a simple truck with a good engine and a good 4x4. No computer dashboard or computer gauges.
What's the closest thing to a small utility truck like this that is easy to work on, low on tech, etc. made by an American company for the U.S. market?
>>28214974But is it actually sold in France? You fucking cuckyhole.They can be registered in my country from brand new with no special exemptions or permits but I would never say that Toyota sells them here because they don't.
>>28210149Some time in the past, Toyota decided that the US wanted overloaded SUVs for Lexus money and did just that. That and the chicken tax are why we don't get the Hilux or the Prado anymore.Only the third world still gets the basic LC Prado.
>>28215359We only get the Prado now.
>>28215067It's sold in an EU country, so not counting driving it across the border, yes.
>>28215359What's so great about a prado? And how come they don't ship these toyota 70th anniversary trucks to america?
