I fell for the shitbox memeSpent like almost 2k on this shit box last year, just had to spend another 500. Checked with chat gtp and according to it I got a decent deal on repairs also. 210k miles. I give it 5 months until I have to spend another 500... Cant bring myself to buy a new car even though I can afford it and have nothing better to do either than drive around natrue, which i havent done in year cuz im afrid this shit box cant make it halfway through the state...
>>28843650That's kinda based the Accord filtered out vapid hoes, any women who is pragmatic and worth having understands what a great car that is, if it runs, isn't in complete disrepair, and has air conditioning with a radio, it's a good car.
>>28843646>"shiiiiieeeeeett why you changing yo oil stoopid, tha car still runs"
>>28843692Labor + marked up parts will get you bills like that real quick. I really doubt you're getting an engine swapped in for $2k.
>>28843646>absolutely retarded if u think new cars need matinenence. I saw a brand new dodge charger getting towed from a gas station parking lot yesterday
>>28843819tbf that's going to happen even if you religiously maintain them. That's just the Dodge lyfe. I see Grand Waggoneers on flatbeds all the time.
Push-to-start fobs are made for Karens, lazy Zoomers, and other assorted car-illiterate queers who can't balance a bottle of beer between their legs while driving. It's also a lot easier to get your ride stolen with this junk technology.
>>28843743>It's also a lot easier to get your ride stolen with this junk technology.It takes less than 10 seconds to steal a mid 2000's Ford truck. Keyed cars are not inherently harder to steal. Your answer to this question is the Chevy Express.
>>28843743Most cars shift using buttons and dials these days. Keys are long gone anon, like everything else that requires manual effort.
>>28843743Base model corolla, some trucks base models.I optioned my 2022 Lariat Super Duty with a turn key ignition, last year you could get one of that trim with it.
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.
>>28841464Just get a carter P90091. Mine delivers exactly 3PSI in my VW, no regulator needed.I recommend installing it right under the tank to prevent vaporlock, and they generally work better pushing instead of pulling fuel anyway.You should hook it up to a cut off switch, double bonus if you get a fuel pump relay (google 93161511300), they take a tach signal as input so they'll automatically prime on ignition power, then cut off until they get a coil signal. Its a bit safer to not run the pump while the engine's not running.
>>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.
The future is EREV.
>>28843627its notchinks suck at making ice cars, so the shills hail pic in a ricecooker as the second comming of christ.In the not so distant future battery buffered hybrid drive trains will even replace high displacement engines in heavy equiptment
>>28840761>sluggishness and jank of a hybrid systemSo you've never driven a modern hybrid, I take it.
>>28843627I don't think the Hondas can limp on their engine alone, that single ratio is only for highway cruising.
>>28843696>I don't think the Hondas can limp on their engine aloneThey can. I've got a hybrid civic and seen the clutch engage at as low as 30mph, unless their little infographic on the gauge is lying to me. Not my image, but it puts this little gear in the middle whenever the clutch is engaged.
>>28843706Interesting, I figured it was a fixed overdrive gear so they could try to beat Toyota-style hybrids on highway mpg and it'd stall out trying to move slower than that.
>slate gets 700 million in investment>we will make an affordable vehicle>only 20,000 usd>incentives are cancelled>its 30,000 now>range is 150 milesPlease explain to me why wouldn't they make a basic truck like hilux in the first place?
>>28842503It's downright hillarious how some of you are this stupid.Yes, trump went after emissions and regulations, but that doesn't mean that manufacturers are gonna just start making cheap trucks right now.It's gonna take years to get the assembly lines set up, come up with a new design, etc. And even then, you have to wonder if they'll even take the risk. It's 2+ years to election time, and Trump is not getting a third term (unless you wanna be a hypocrite abut Muh MERICA!!!!) and with his polling numbers are in the shitter right now, things are not looking up for election time.If this continues until the next election and Democraps get back in, they're gonna put those regulations back and any money the manufacturers sink into this project would go straight down the fucking garbage.If things looked better for Trump and the Republican'ts, where they could feasibly guarantee 6 years of stability (these 2 years + another term) then they would probably be getting on with it.
>>28843529>they're gonna put those regulations back and any money the manufacturers sink into this project would go straight down the fucking garbagei think you would be surprised about the levels of dissatisfaction from EV's. Elons retarded bout into "politics", realization that batteries create toxic waste while swallowing up rare materials, government subsidies drying up, EV divisions pushing car manufactures to the brink of bankruptcy, etc. its a common mistake to assume that american liberals/republicans have any enduring ideals. todays liberal is completely different from what you saw in 2018. the TV tells the politically active public to jump, they ask; "how high?".
yeah if that could be done other companies would be doing it. the only new fairly successful company I can think of is ionos or whatever it is, the defender knock off.
>>28843529Do Democrats even like those regulations? Seems like everyone hates them.
>>28843529>>28843709Big regulations like that with long horizons traditionally are worked out by both sides, dems and repubs. Concessions are made on each side but the resulting regs have much higher chance of surviving political swings.Not with donnie the turd, it's his way or the highway. So most of his crap will evaporate when he is gone. And if you're a CEO with IQ approaching a tripple digit number, you know it.

>>28841168I went from Callie to Utah thinking it was gonna be clean upstanding white folx, but the Walmarts in SLC were scarier than any 99% black neighborhood I've lived in (8 years living in east coast ghettos with the highest murder rate nationwide). From the moment I parked my car before I could even get out there were already multiple methmonkeys jockeying up scoping it out.

Drunk driving is more fun than sex
>>28843532You just suck at sex if you treat it like a buisness exchange instead of a passionate act of melding each other's more sensitive parts of flesh.Motorcycle is fun, ill at least grant you that.
>>28843461It's certainly more of a chellenge
>>28843563bro
drunk driving is a lot of fun, but no
>>28843461Drunk driving sucks actually. When I’m drunk I just want to lay in my warm bed with my comfy blanket

Rivian R2 45k>electric windows>infotainment>self-driving capability>double the HP>double the rangeSlate plus SUV kit and a sound system is probably going to be 35k. the Rivian starts to sound like a better value at that point.
>>28841990Yeah I hear dealerships are in the business of buying millions of vehicles just to put them in a warehouse for 50 years before selling them for 10x the price.
>>28842065also basic rwd model y
>>28830678Kind of funny that VW refused to do it. My guess though is that woudlnt sell, nobody is buying small engine stripper rangers. The EV aspect is a novelty that makes cheap shit seem high tech
>>28842065Rivian is probably doing that bullshit where they announce the price for the cheapest trim, then only release higher trims.
what would stop faster going from speed?>Only braking in automatic car>Only braking in manual car >Pressing brake and clutch in on manual car>Braking and downshifting in manual car>
>>28841318Irrelevant. Engine braking is completely meaningless and redundant if your brakes are adequately sized. If you can lock up the tires with ABS disabled your brakes are big enough to stop quickly. Downshifting is only optimal in performance driving to enable you to stay in your power band during cornering and corner exit and offers no benefit in deceleration.
>>28841651>Have 90s car with maybe 100 lb-ft of torks.Yeah, it's like getting kicked in the nuts when the compressor kicks in, it slows down immediately, I suddenly have to add ~10% more throttle.I don't use AC even in the summer because I want all that power goddamnit.
>>28841429The AC compressor in my van takes so much power to run that it probably actually does provide some form of engine brakingThen again the van weighs like 9999999 pounds so

How bad is the Hyundai 3.3l Lambda? I have an option to get a low mileage Azera with that engine as my highway commuter pretty cheap. Timing chain looks to be the main issue. Seems better than the Theta.
>>28837396Just get an accord bud, it's a way better car
>>28842734Do you enjoy working on economy cars, retard?>>28843151This too, anything is better than a Hyundai.ANYTHING.
>>28837396I have this exact car and motor and I love it. Literally zero issues in the couple years I’ve owned it. Change your oil frequently and there won’t be a problem
>>28843151I’ve owned both and I prefer my Azera
>>28843220Really? You prefer the lambda to a 3.5L VTEC motor? That's kind of wild
Going on a road trip soon. Is the food here any good?
I prefer sneeds desu
>>28840903You just posted this like 4 days ago. It's not even funny.
>why buy X when you could by Yanyone else sick of this argument?
its cope for people who cant afford either but think having a contradictory opinion somehow makes up for that
Thats /o/ all over though. All threads are or will be pissing contests of insecurity. Nobody wants to talk about the car in question unless its shitting on it.
WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU BUY ANYTHING THAT'S NOT POWERED BY AN LS
No trucks are legitimately the best buy rn.
>>28843052I'm not a cylinderlet
Depreciation doesn't matter if you never sell your car(s).
>>28842364real and true, I don't care how much money I've put into my cars I'm enjoying them for as long as I'll have them because I don't ever plan on selling them
>>28842666you dont know how taxes work
>>28842364Yeah the deprecating asset argument falls flat when the car is owned by a enthusiast it's like m8 why would I sell the car?>duhh well what if you lose your legs and arms?????Solved issue we have cybernetics now suck it cunts.
