I hate trendy boring sheeple npc cars that normies and Redditors buy just because they’re “reliable”. Reliability is the most overrated trait in a car. People who actually love cars prioritize soulfulness. Redditors buy a Toyota rav 4 because they hate cars and don’t want to spend any extra time or money to own a real car.
>>28929873>“Reliability” does not matterDid you know that the Soviet Union made off-road vehicles for the military that had NO engine oil drain plug?According to their manufacturers, they were designed to last on the battlefield for less time than the time required to change the engine oil.
>>28929873>don’t want to spend any extra time or money to own a real car.Duh? Was this a revelation for you?
>>28929873While that should be true for anybody here, on an enthusiast forum, it's entirely untrue for the majority of people. In the same way someone could insult your fashion and say you dress like an NPC, insult your coffee order and say you drink like an NPC , insult your furniture and say you decorate like an NPC, etc. Normal motherfuckers could have a million different hobbies, it's a much more valuable and fulfilling use of time to try and show that cars can be fun and interesting than to hurl insults at the void.
>>28929877>>28929880>Literally using the most extreme examples that don’t apply to 99% of sports cars>>28929885Most normies don’t really have any hobbies actually
>>2892987790% sure this is bullshit and you're stupid for believing it.Premise doesn't even make sense since military vehicles are primarily used in peace time.
>>28929880>sold out and still considered desirable>>28929877>Russian military considered this an acceptable, utility focused spec>>28929907sounds like anon is right, reliability doesn't matter
>>28929912>>Russian military considered this an acceptable, utility focused spec0_0
>>28929880Also I forgot to add the people that own this car are extremely rich so they literally don’t care about the maintenance because they pay someone else to do it. Like a Bugatti owner doesn’t actually care that a oil change costs ten thousand dollars or whatever because they can afford it and they will have someone else do the work anyways
>>28929873Actually reliability does matter, but its not honda or toyota. They've been fuck ups for a very long time. Redditors buy rav4 because they don't know better. There is a significant portion of the population that has that knows a woefully inadequate amount about motoring and vehicle manufacturing- and that's actually the ticket to moving units
>>28929943Exactly. GM sells a quarter million equinoxes per year. You think that's intentional?
>>28931470You are correct, i don't think anyone really intends to buy an equinox. or a trax for that matter.>i want a car, here's my sub 600 credit score
Drain plug could be a point of failure going over rocky terrain. Little English hobbit men with 5 wrenches could remove your whole fleet in a night.Air pumps exist. In fact, ICE engines are just automated air pumps. They weren't too dumb to use a pump.
>>28929873Right for the wrong reasons. Reliability is based because it means less wrenching more driving but the problem is normies neglect maintenance then blame it on the car
>>28929873>It'll last you a million miles bro it's so reliable>Yeah you'll have to replace everything but the long block to get it to that but it's nbdReliability is a meme
>>28931487>>i want a car, here's my sub 600 credit scoreBut those aren't Nissans...
>>28929873A Honda CRV with a giant turbo on it would decimate all
"reliability" is a meme.All cars are reliable if well taken care of. This board is comprised of at least 70% of whom you describe, though.
>>28931492But who makes a good one. I'm not paying $400 for some hazet shit.
