Anyone else have a Flex Fuel E-85 car?Anyone else pissed off when the one place you go to get fuel has an OUT OF ORDER notice on top of the Flex Fuel pump?>Stories>AdviceI'm at 11 drivable miles worth of gas right now.
>>25917079Did you delete the egr? You get a good performance bump from egr deletes especially on wrx's
>>25915404>mpgsThere are differences in cars and driving style matters more on mpg than fuel energy content. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gck2KJRKUCghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHwnjW2aotk

>>25920930Whats retarded about street cars not being race cars
>>25922639Well they're not, for starters. You seem really confused.
>>25923288Dude this isn't relevant you know what I meant.
>>25914537>Hyundai still the fastest FWDSmartest kid with down syndrome.
>>25924001I think FWD gets too much hate. You can have a lot of fun in a FWD car. I've gotten into watching TCR racing recently.
Why didn't diesel cars ever catch on in America?Typical mk4 jetta/golf tdi will drive like 1000 to 1200 highway km on a tank. (600 to 750 ish miles). Will generally last forever or at least longer than the body/frame. Have usable torque. (can climb hills without having to downshift)Comapre to your average civic, corolla etc. Will go 4 or 500 miles on a tank, engines start burning oil at like 200k miles if you're lucky. Constantly need to downshift to stay in the power band.What is the big benefit of gas engines? Quiet? Less smelly?Disclaimer: I'm a burger who has driven tdis my whole life and then bought a civic a few weeks ago
ELECTRIC FOR THE CITYDIESEL FOR THE MOTORWAYPETROL ("GAS") IS POINTLESSVerification not required.
US 70s-80s Diesels were smelly, noisy, and loud. Many like the Olds 350 were durability and maintenance nightmares. You had such vehicles like the Chevette Diesel that made 51 HP where the engine was so heavy the subframe sagged after a few years. You had things like the Lincoln Mark VII TurboDiesel that made 115HP.They gave Diesel a bad name and nobody wanted that shit.
>>25923335To be fair a Gas v8 camaro 5.0 only had 140 Hp and a v8 mustang only had 120 hp back around 1980 and those were mostly paired with a 3speed slushbox that drained away a lot of power. so the 115 hp mk7 diesel would have had similar performance inspite of having an L6 with half the displacement
>>25922297Gasoline is about 4x as expensive in the EU as it is in the USA. read a book
>>25922488americans are so gullible
>the perfect car doesn't exi-
>>25915752
>>25916828looks like a perfected car>>25919407hes not wrong tho..
>>25915826New render is what it should have looked like, the mk5 does not look like a supra, i always hear squidward bodykit thrown around on here but it's true. Cars have faces and changing the face is like changing a person but calling them the same name. I expect them to at least look related, but the new supra just looks too alien.
>>25923956>Cars have faces and changing the face is like changing a person but calling them the same nameExactly man. If you look at a first gen Porsche 911 from 1964, it has the same face as the current gen. And Porsche's are beloved by everyone. No one looks at a new 911 and says "that's not innovative" or whatever the fuck. People saying you have to radically change the look of a car each gen because "muh innovation" are retarded. Not saying you can't do that, but if you stumble upon a cool design that works well and is appreciated, you want to iterate upon it, not replace it completely.
>>25918686I love the rear because it's bat shit insane, looks like a terminator without the skin on its face.
How do I pick a good car? I'm a bong btw and I want to buy my first car. Any advice would be welcome.
>>25920609i kinda have the same question rn, never was much of a car guy.my parents want to buy me a new car, probably a seat or some shit like that but they want me to be the one who chooses it.she was talking to me about a cupra ateca is that shit any good?
>>25922444Seat ibiza is decent
>>25920609There's a guy on utube - cars with jb. He does good vids about first cars in the UK with insurance, tax prices etc.
>>25920609The Chevy suburban is a great car. Really should check to see if there is a nice one in your area
>>25920609first order of buisness is to find out what you want and need out of a car. after that the rest should be easy.
What's with the stigma against vertical headlights? It seems like every car manufacture is shifting away from them.
>>25921508they look like shit and don't make much sense functionally.
>>25922362Worry not, tesla retards think everything revolves around tesla. They have no insight or knowledge outside their fantasy vehicle, so the assumption is that every trend is started by tesla.

>>25922535Never owned a motorcycle myself but I've heard that you can start off by getting a cheap carb bike and wrenching on it to learn how to work on engines. Affordable, simple, and it gives you a basic but good enough understanding of combustion engines.
don't have a car. my family never had car(cuz poor). bussed around in america for a longggg time. finally get a job that pays enough that I can fully afford a used car at the very least. know nothing about cars. no friends so can't practice on their cars(my state has a ridiculous rule where you have to complete a stupid amount of hours to get a license). insurance is a mystery to me. can't trust used car salesmen. can't trust individual sellers because there is no protection/warranty after the sale.. fuck all of this man. why is this so hard....
>>25923293>500 dollars to pay for diagnosticsThat's insane. You can buy your own decent OBD scanner for like $200, or some auto parts stores will even run a scan for free.
>>25922737>if you can wrenchHe cannot even drive. He will probably fuck up more things than he fixes.
>>25922787t. guy who had the skill given to him
>>25923293>>Just pay Jiffy lube for diagnostics to be safe buying your next shitbox
>>25920038It takes time but only buy a car from White or Asian who live in a good neighborhood. Your chance of getting a well-maintained car is significantly higher. Since you are young, use your puppy face to ask older people for favors. As long as you act like an upstanding young man, they are inclined to help.Also get a Toyota or Honda as your first car.
I just want a diesel light pick up that'll run forever and ever. Why isn't that made anymore? How can I find something like this in the states? I don't need to tow or haul extreme weight. I just want the reliability, reparability, and the flexibility of a bed.
>>25920281that is every pickup we get.why do americans want to own utility vehicles as daily drivers?a van is a better choice 9 times out of 10 anyway.
>>25921381>he thinks we have diesel wagons
>>25923374>why do americans want to own utility vehicles as daily drivers?Americans in general don’t drive vans as daily’s
>>25923632a pickup truck is also a utility vehicle. it's just a less versatile one.
>>25923844Half tons aren’t anymore of a utility vehicle than a car.
perfection, not an EV or a ricer in sight

>>25922658My mom might be a cripple but at least she isn't an invalid like you.
>>25912894yeah, i had this thought whenever i use the motorway for the last stretch to the office.plenty of BMWs in the right lane but never a tesla unless its overtaking a truck in lane 2.
>die in a 20 mph fender bender because muh steering column aesthetic >bumper to bumper lanes huffin lead gas seeping through shitty seals>overheat the engine, wasting time on the side of the road but it's okay because I'm too old to understand apple carplay and can't admit cuckovers are just as cucked as the estate wagons

Best modern interior
>>25906498how tf are you supposed to even see the road ahed?
>>25906266
newer dodge ram truck interior looks better than all of these, how has cars design failed so hard?
>>25923254I don't think I'd be able to make it five minutes before I snapped that tablet off the dash and threw it out the window.
>>25906406Past generation Audis had very well thought out interiours. Even the A3 with the multimedia display hidden was kino. with more cars had no infotainment screen or ones that you could somehow hide.
