Would you buy a Chinese Land Rover Defender clone with a 150 hp 1.5L 4banger hooked up to some batteries? It does have diff locks but it weighs 5000+ lbs and when the batteries are rinsed, lol.
>>29016428Defender costs 70-100k now for most variants.
since this is the de facto Defender thread I'll say I was pleasantly surprised by them dropping the turbo four and making the base model an inline six for 2027. Also that you can get a 2 door without having to spring for the Octa. Haven't seen anything to say whether its that overly complicated turbo-supercharged hybrid that they were using before or if its a detuned version of that.
>>29016566I don't think anyone was buying the 4 anyways nor were they manufacturing it in significant numbers either. Its just a detuned 300 hp variant of the same supercharged 6 as before I think that was included in the article about it. There's a lot of room for a unibody off road SUV with 4 wheel independent suspension that undercuts the Defender on price by 10k but nobody has tried. Multiple (legacy) brands are said to be at work on some form of mini-G-class-esque SUV but none have been released so far.
>>29016032Cant find any Bao 5 for those prices all the variants are listed 37k to ~50k
>>29016417its because they want to drive electric daily but do long ass trips back to provinces to see their parents in rural areas every year and need range for those trips

What’s a good dashcam you guys would recommend?I’d preferably like a mix of good quality, front and rear facing, and if possible not having to rely on an app or it having to connect to the internet.
I use a viofo, forget the model. It has a 4k front camera and a 1080 rear. It's been in my truck for six years no issues.
>>29013522Get a ViofoI spent $400 on the top of the line model from a competitor company VUEROID (Korean) and it sucks. I've had like 3 Viofos and shoulda just stuck with the known brand
>>29013522I liked my Rexing until it went to pot. Had it for years.
>>29013523he did only cheap chinese shit on amazon. blackvue is the way to go.
I bought my car used and the owner hardwired a thinkware with 1080p front and back.Main issue I had was the passive parking mode should stop working below a certain voltage threshold of your car battery (you set this value yourself) but it had a retarded error. If you turned the car off and the battery was already reading a lower voltage than the threshold you set it would just run parking mode forever.I haven't replaced it or anything I just disabled the parking mode, still records video perfectly fine driving around.
I think the biggest reason electric vehicles are popular with younger people is that you don't need to go to a fucking dealership and listen to some gross scumbag talk about "Heavenly Dream Drive Mode" or whatever the fuckI don't understand how anyone under the age of like 60 could go to a GM or Ford dealership and not feel like they're being milked
>>29016315Yes because the British have such a rich history of electric vehicles...
>>29015593Car dealers are fine here. Salespeople can be pushy, always trying to close a deal,but that's their job. I'm just mildly amused by that.
>>29011746>he doesn't use his turbo-autism to tell the salesman>no, i want that car, only that car>let me tell you everything about why i want that car>EVERYTHINGThe guy will strip out all the fees to get you out of his fucking chair so he can go back to scamming normies who he can manipulate.You can, indeed, be immune to propaganda.
>>29016337>Yes because the British have such a rich history of electric vehicles...I think they'll struggle with EVs because batteries don't leak oil.
>>29016444They'll bring back Lucas tge Prince or Darkness for EVs.

>>29016363I have Dirt Rally 2.0. I didn’t think I’d like the constant callouts, but it didn’t take long to get used to internalizing them without much mental energy. I don’t know the courses yet, but I know what “3 left don’t cut means. It really helps. For a lot of the slower cars the number callout is the same as the gear you need for the corner so you can roughly tell what speed to approach at.I’d probably fight with the human version.

Are wilwood brakes any good?I can't say I trust my OE brakes very much.I've put HPS pads & high temp DOT4 on, but still don't have the confidence I want in them.

>>29013810So assuming your "deflector" is just the dust shield with a hole cut in it, You're just cooling the back side of the rotor. Different rates of thermal expansion etc, youre gonna end up with a concave rotor like this. You need to direct air through the middle of the rotor with your setup so it evenly cools the front and back face of the rotor evenly.
>>29014340Damn anon, you are dumb as fuck.Like fuck bro.

>>29014131>I hope you find a path outside the military. Maybe something creative. I've seen people get mentally destroyed by the military.I... have been in the latter group. After some 2014 Obama era law you can't even work software for any civilian company that has federal contracts without a secret clearance. I was a senior in software engineering when that passed. You have to not have done weed in 3 years to get any clearance, but rapists, traitors, and thieves can get hired any day.
>>29014138>You have to not have done weed in 3 years to get any clearance,um wat they can't test for that weed tests maybe go back a month unless they are doing hair testingalso just encourages alcoholism government and military are not my favorite aspects of america it seems like regimentation and wasting money are the point I called the DEA once to tell them I smoke weed and to ask why they don't arrest me for that and they told me not to call again.

>>29014158>um wat they can't test for that weed tests maybe go back a month unless they are doing hair testingI've failed over 100 days from urine tests. That's over 3 months.I wouldn't lie to the feds. I'd rather neet it up or work retail than work for the gov't knowing that they could dig up evidence of me lying at any time. They probably don't care, but I can't handle that kind of mental worry every day. Not worth it to me.
>>29012316Not terrible in comparison to other but. Driving on a busy 4 lane highway at night in my Avalon with 4 people. Highway has no overhead lights. All of the sudden, my battery fails and I lose all electricity completely. No lights outside or inside my vehicle. Headlights gone, and I assume tail/brake lights as well of course. Inside lights completely out. No gauges. Literally zero visibility except what other car's headlights can see. Engine running fine though. I managed to carefully and calmly pull off onto the next exit and into an O'Reilly's that happened to be open. Replaced the alternator and battery right there in the parking lot. Took about 4 hours, and we were on our way. Thankfully I am not a wrenchlet and also kept a full set of Metric wrenches and sockets in my trunk because I use all my SAE at work.
