How do we make cars cool again?

>>27610198>womenwhat about trans-women
>>27610195Enthusiast cars aren't to be used as daily drivers. If you drive more than a given amount per year, you pay a steep tax. You can also require certain emissions to drive in cities. There's precedence for that: https://www.stuttgart.de/leben/mobilitaet/dieselverkehrsverbot/dieselverkehrsverbot.phpImo cars don't belong in cities at all, but trying to explain that to a westoid would be futile.
>>27610225cafe is useless, soccer moms flooring it from stoplight to stoplight in 300hp minivans burns the same amount of fuel as it did 20 years ago, gearing the car towards the economy it gets cruising at 55 on a dyno with the ac off is pointless. The us needs eu style power and weight restrictions, both to keep females out of 7000lbs battering rams and for fuel economy
>>27610198>>27610242with the hate for women, how do you guys feel about your moms?
If the front will actually look like this, it mogs all there is. Not even close. This is it. The best design for a sports car so far.Only problem will be license plates.

>Another Roadster threadThere I made a car that has the same authenticity that the Tesla has. It also accelerates fast, the fastest on earth.Also I will sell it only for 20.000$Pre-order now!!
>>27610076Not mineYou must have thin skin
>>27609913>roadster>is a coupe
The chariot of the white manFlashy, fast cars are for browns and blacks who use them as status symbols
>>27592061>Flashy, fast cars are for browns and blacks who use them as status symbolsThey can afford them, you can't, just say that. You didn't grow up with a fucking Corolla poster on your bedroom wall.
>>27609940The Corolla is the every man's car. You just don't get it. You've never experienced true reliability. Something about owning a car that just works everytime all the time is special.
>>27609933>the car loves to beep at you, it beeps for every thingI'm glad my old Honda only likes to beep with the initial key turn for ignition and if you open the driver door with the key still in the ignition and lightly reeeeeeees at you for leaving the lights on and opening the door and both instances are only when the car is not running to make sure you don't leave lights on or that keys aren't left behind. I laughed when I found out my buddy's Toyota beeps at him for being in reverse like the exterior warning sound large commercial/industrial vehicles make in reverse, in a tiny manual car.
>>27609956A good reliable car definitely has its place as a sensible daily driver, I'm just sick of how anything cool or fast is regarded as solely being for black and brown people, this is a fuckin auto enthusiast board
>>27610163>this is a fuckin auto enthusiast boardNo anon, this is a car-themed crab bucket

>>27609905It is better when you are going slower than the bumper to bumper traffic. It lets you roll nearly unimpeded and makes RAMfags behind you seethe because they can't fill the big gap you have for yourself.

>>27603334My ideal scenario is a teen girl looking at her phone at a stoplight and the light changed and someone honks, she gets scared and then she floors it into traffic or a building.
>>27603917I worked with an old dude that drove from South Carolina to Mississippi twice a month to check on his property there. Going to Costco is a 100mi round trip for me. EVs are great for city folk but lose their worth the more remote it gets. The town I live in has 2 charging spots. One is at the Nissan dealer and the other is at the Continental tire factory.
I work in a hospital, nearly half of the high earning workers (doctors, PAs, RNs, etc) drive a tesla. They're not even the expensive model S, but cheaper 40k model 3s and Ys. What's the fucking appeal. Is it considered a rich person brand? They can literally buy much nicer actual luxury cars. Here in SoCal all the upper middle class whites and Asians are obsessed with teslas
>>27606334This isn’t accurate, I usually only get on here while I’m on my plane.
>>27606303Same reason women love designer brands, the brand name.
>>27606327This. So many get that doctor title get a little money and the banks open the lending doors for them. You’re a doctor you need a big house, you need a fancy car. You’re a doctor.

>>27607368Peugeot actually made their cars, and made them very well. Out of all of the homologation cars, the 205 T16 had the highest quality, and wasn't just thrown together with leftover bolts and wood screws.
Bonhams recently sold one of these "not a proper car"
>>27606382>not even the fastest cars from F1 Style Group C could touch itThat's loaded statement. It only ever raced against one of the 3.5L Gr.C cars which was already a year old and saw no real development after the mid-season test that year. TWR USA didn't even want to use it, but they were able win two races in which they were racing against both Eagles plus one more race in which they classified higher than them.
>>27607665>the one left in existence>9001 gorillion dollars>"wow those group B rally cars are so cool!"
>>27608338>one left in existenceWow, they must keep repainting and changing the license plate of the same car.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxkK3SEiOwY
"Tire Aging" is a myth cont'd. A bunch of retards had temper tantrums because they wanted proof that I have tires on my car or something. Anyways, as it turns out they're from 2004 not 2002, so oopsies, but here's a pic of the date code. I drove on these for my 1400 mile trip and around town after that and I still haven't spontaneously combusted.You can admit I'm right+lick my boots now.
>>27608930Exactly. It would be bait if I was wrong, and only saying it to make retards mad.This on the other hand, is true AND makes retards mad, which is 2 birds with one stone.
>>27608810I'm gonna visit this anon in the hospital like picrel
>>27608000>Again, you don't need to remind me I'm better than you.Oh okay we got a clear winner.Here celebrate with some milk, expired just like you like.
i dug a hf trailer out of the weeds, its however old the last time they put 4.80's on them is, i know they sell them w radials now. Wouldnt hold air, lawnmower intertubes in them. Its gone 30 miles at 55 so far and the flat spots worked out of them. Think it will go another 40?
>>27609820Tires aren't made of milk. I don't know how you managed to get this wrong, it's pretty obvious that tires aren't made of milk
Name a faster Japanese carYou can't
>>27609620Any of them when that korean shitbox falls apart in 5 years.
>>27609620lol.. chinese bootleg.
>>27609620>Name a faster Japanese carIn just a few short years, any running car. Because the one in your picture won't be moving on it's own power.
>>27610084Holy cope, enjoy your nigsan 3 70 or whatever shitbox jap ricer you drive. Hyundai won.
>>27610100>Hyundai won.They had to make those cars easy to steal just to get people to drive them.
How come South Korea makes the most reliability quality cars?But the weeb trannies from /o told me otherwise?Lmfao
>>27606183>buy gook>gets stolenwhere's your reliable car now?
>>27609561>buy nip>go to the shop cuz of light oilwhere's your reliable car now?
What the HELL is Land Rover doing at the bottom of these charts every year?
>>27609571They keep adding the new stuffs in their shitbox. Unlike Toyota used to resist adding the new/unproven tech/stuff. Right now, Toyota's new engine appears unproven and so, its reliability plummets.
>>27609197>cuz your fav brand is not on the top?They are an advertising firm, the list only shows who paid to be on that list.
hey/o//smg/ tourist herei’ve got some cash to throw at a car and i was thinking of getting the z71 traverse when it’s available to replace my 2017 journey that i fucking hate myself for ever gettingi have zero experience with these newer crossovers but i’ve got a 2016 malibu that i like a lotis there some kind of retardation with the z71 that’s obvious to you guys?i would be using it a bit on logging trails and pulling a ~2 ton camper and absolutely have to have the third row
>>27607676How is direct injection bad, nigger?
>>27609938the main problem is carbon fouling on the intake ports. some engines will have both direct and port injectors to stop this, but that also adds extra points of failure, even if fuel injectors always seem to just werk.
>>27609987>even if fuel injectors always seem to just werk.40 psi fuel injectors are pretty simple and just werk1500+ psi fuel injectors ala direct injection are not. Most cars havent been direct injected long enough for issues to arise. One notable exception is bmw; used injectors are extremely valuable because those things are dying left and right
>>27607562>Traverse Z71It's got lockers and low range at least, right? Bad enough that it's a transverse-engined unibody cuckover wearing a Z71 badge.
>>27607745If anything find a low mileage 2010 Tahoe. I wouldn’t really look at anything past 2016.Have the truck tuned and disable the DoD.
Is it kino? Is it also going to be $70k as rumored?
>>27607471>looking for a truck>literally everyone "just get a tacoma"Toyota and the dealers know they have the market in their pocket and they're taking full advantage of it. They're probably pushing it too far now though, everyone knows this is too much.
>>27607558>>27607558>don't you have to opt in for that?No, its an "opt out" for Toyota specifically, as well as most manufactures. It's insane how much data they collect from you. Everything from driving habits to facial recognition for some reason.https://www.wired.com/story/car-data-privacy-toyota-honda-ford/https://www.toyota.com/support/privacy-notice/
fuckk any toyota in this color combo is perfection
>is it kinoyes
>>27606847I have one, it was $53,000 out the door.
Do people lose their shit when you drive at the speed limit in the left lane? More and more do here but they always have shithole license plates so their rage doesn't matter.
>>27609990You can get fined by the radars doe
>>27609948>>27609950>>27609959>>27609989They pass out licenses like candy nowadays, I can't count on anyone to let me into the lane relevant to my next turn. If that next turn is a left in 10 miles, I'll give you a generous 3-5mph over the speed limit for 10 miles.My taxes, my roads.
>>27609972The only thing I hate more than someone going slow in the left lane is someone passing someone on the right without a clear lane between them.
>>27610056>My taxes, my roads.This. People blocking the passing lane are blocking a public resource paid by the people being blocked.
>>27610062i will wait until it's good and then i will make my pass and drive slow in front of the slow.
