I'm training to become a driving instructor for high school kids. I'm currently a professional driver, but boy, just being a good driver sure isn't good enough to be a good instructor, but I'm getting it. I think I need to improve my general car knowledge though, I'm really just a guy who operates vehicles, I don't know much about about them, I don't even own one, the ones I drive are always company-owned. any advice?
>>20430481So long as you keep your dick in your pants you'll be fine.All you really need to know is driving laws.
>>20430481if you know how to do basic maintenance, you're fine. if you don't know how to do basic maintenance, you wouldn't even pass the license test in many countries. so, make sure you know everything about basic maintenance
>professional driver>doesn’t even know what a valve looks likeDoesn’t take much huh?
>>20430651my job is to drive not to look at valves
>>20430490>So long as you keep your dick in your pants you'll be fine.I'm not OP, but is that really required? Why else would you teach non-related kids to drive?
What does your car smell like /o/
>>20428472I've got three black ice trees and one green tree.Car smells like a clean, but older car now, it used to smell like a chain smoking construction worker who didn't learn what a shower was.
>>20429456A rituals bar is also 10 times as expensive and still smells like shit.>>20430038Black Ice also didn't smell like black ice.

my rims broke and im currently riding on a spare. Do i just buy rims and put them on a tire or do i need to buy the rims with the tire. How do i know which rims fits a tire?

>>20424025I dont know if they are that bad, but I've never met a good female driver.Most guys I know are terrible drivers.
Men are "bad" on purpose, or in other words, they retardedly knowingly cause dangerous situations for variety of reasons. Women simply arent capable to drive as good as men, they jerk the wheel too much, they dont feel the car, and they have very bad spatial awareness. I have seen at least 30 women drive, and all except 1 were absolute trash drivers. I have sene many men who drive dangerously, but good. Know the difference. If a man survives for 1 year driving 200km/h at highways it's still more skillful than a whamen that drives 10km/h and has an accident.

Toyota is summoning the old gods back to our plane. Are you ready for a fucking war?
>>20431315That's a drag queen, not a trans person. Yes, there's a difference.
Can't they just do it they're selves. Nissan did it with the GTR and they're smaller. So why is Toyota so lazy?
>>20426818But what would they call it? The Chevy Fiero?Doesn't have the same ring to it. Unless GM decides to bring back Pontiac (which they won't) I really don't think it would sell well.
>>20431456>But what would they call it?The Corvair.And then make ads making fun of Ralph Nader.
>>20426712Toyota is partnering with Mazda for the new MR2.Mazda will sell it as the MX-7 coupe, Toyota will sell it as the MR2 convertible.

Nothing interesting here (because SUVs), except the engine.>473 hp standard>503 hp with the competition pack>shorter stroke and bigger bore compared to the b58>an additional turbo>don't know about these, but the m3 is supposed to get water injection like m4gtsThis is the engine that will be in the new M3 and M4. Seems pretty gud desu.
>>20430346If you meant the X4 then it can't have a worse face because they have the same front ends. Also, no one is going to take them offroad. They are going to move rich people and their kids around cities and suburbs. If someone from a more rular area is getting an SUV, they are buying a cheaper engine and trim. In my country it's usually a 20d or an equivalent from other manufacturer. In the US these people would probably just get a truck.
>>20430753Who else /big sniffs/ here
>competition pack
>>20430753If I could afford it I would daily an x3m in the winter.
>>20430405>larger sidewalls flex moreNoooooooo... If they compare to something without rubber bands for tires on a shit surface the results will be similar. Not that it's justified to roll a vehicle in a fairly typical swerve, but a lot of vehicles would behave the same, yet you don't see them being memed on.https://youtu.be/xoHbn8-ROiQBut point is that it's a moose test, or an elk test. Only Ismail in his BMW would call it the fucking "mule" test.
Cabover Pete with the reefer on and a stickfag hauling logs editionLooking to get your CDL? Trucking school if you can get a loan or have money, Prime, Roehl or Knight if you can't. Avoid Swift, CR England with their 3 bunk trucks, US Express, Western Express and any other mega that pays you shit wages in lieu of training and sticks you with a driver-facing camera which most of them do. You WILL get stuck with an automatic restriction if you train with a megacarrier, which can be removed at a later time.>Bitcoinfuelhauler is washing his TMC truck in the rain because of company policy>Primefag posted settlements, company cpm cucks in full rage mode>Truckerfag is still cleaning the jizz out of his beard>Oilfag is collecting the GDP of a former Communist Soviet bloc in detention pay>Sippers still sipping>EF makes eleventy billion dollars while fucking his slam piggy on the frame rails of his stretched Pete, dryvan cucks are not worthy>KIT is going through a trucker divorce with his slam piggy>Stickfag is currently leveling the Amazon rainforest >Rob Schneider is a Trucker>Beppu is slamming hot Miami Latina muff in between his stops>Whiney-Kun is presumed dead from being buried under a Sarlacc sand pitComment too long.

Listen the fuck up.I am the greatest truck driver. And that’s just how it is. On this bitch of a planet. No freight comes to the shipper. But by me.All I do is truck.All I do is fuck.Is my life better than yours?The answer is yes.Maybe one day.If u can be like me.
>>20431118Ohh wow Ethan’s drunk and shitposting. Well guess what faggot, I’m 5 times the trucker you are. I once fell asleep while trucking in Atlanta and woke up because my truck bumped a dock in Jacksonville. Also, Volvo’s are way sexier than petes.

Test rode a wee strom. Loved it, but it needs either an adjustable clutch or to get it done at the dealer if the first option fucks with warranty, and I wished the front had a preload screw.Other than that, very nice, will buy if the gsx s750 isn't miles better.

Will 225 55 r17 tires fit a 2006 mercedes benz e500 4matic when the original tires are 245 45 r17
>>20429416So are you black or an immigrant? The only types that buy used benz then never maintain it correctly. How much are you saving using this tire you found lmao.
I would say no. You lose an inch in diameter so your speedo is off and an inch in width smaller which, depending on your wheel width, may not work out. What's the rim width?
>>20429425immigrant >>20429430i have no idea how to check, i have 3 good rims/tires my one rim cracked and idk where to get another single rim and tire

Sup /o/tists. Need some help here. Friend of mine thinks it’s both normal and in fact BETTER to drive with BOTH feet. (Obviously clutch foot notwithstanding, he means using your LEFT foot to brake.)So how do i convince him he’s retarded?Like we all know not to, as nobody does, but WHY don’t we? I need reasons to give him because i cant FUCKING STAND how he drives like that.(Pic not related btw)
>>20429666i think the riding the brakes and accelerator at the same time is an obvious and good point.they're mutually exclusive controls in almost all circumstances.the idea that your foot gets there faster if you use the left is retarded. what are you leaving it hovering above the brake just waiting for something to happen? if you have that sort of foresight or have read traffic that way, put your fucking right foot over it.
>>20431155Moving out of the way is a more natural instinctive response than stopping. It's not in our evolution to stop when something goes wrong.
>>20431182last time i did it when a truck pulled out on me, there was fuck all time in it, i didnt even reach the brakes, but i swerved and was within a few cm of clipping the guy in the lane next to me and a few cm of the truck. it probably stopped an accident but the instinct to swerve took over before i cleared what was in the lane next to me, really it almost caused a separate accident.
I rest my right heel on the floor between the two pedals.There's no way you can move your left foot onto the brake faster than I can pivot my right foot unless you're already hovering over the brake pedal.
>>20429666>pushing you into your seat so you can get maximum leverage on the brake pedal in an emergency stopWhat?How would pushing your body deeper into the seat, away from the brake pedal, help you push your foot harder against the brake pedal?
>same car pulls up beside at red light>tries to raceBuddy, we’re both in 6 speed auto Passats chill
>>20431022Yeah, but mine has a pod filter and I'm running 93 octane.
