How often do you get zapped /o/ by this juicy boy when working on your car.
>>22407113yeah it's nice driving the best consumer cars in the world
>>22412637u asked, figure it out yerself bud
>>22412646LMAO i didn't ask you bozo, you did and you claimed they have high inductanceadios amigo
>>22412626It doesn't matter. If the car is turned off there will be no magnetic field stored in them, and touching the two battery terminals with your hands won't cause current to flow through the harness, so there won't be any inductive kickback.
>>22405337Just like the stories “dude I cut a wire and I got sent flying across the room” or my favorite “we did some electrical work to a building and the doorknob electrocuted me lmao”
I've been driving these since I've been a legal adult but now I need to buy a car. I'm looking at a Toyota Camry 2012 with about 117k miles on it for 6,875 bucks. Am I retard?
>>22412588A few simple investments
>>22412660Elaborate, i'm doing ok with my investments, but not $10m level ok.
>>22411741what do you love?
>>22411624Its time to change and drive the most opposite of a tank you can get, for example a smol car like the Fiesta ST.
>>22412736The tank, and the people you do it with. Easily some of the best times of my life>>22412755I'd like to, but maybe some other day. I'm leaning towards the Camry because everything I've read and heard about it is that it's simple to maintain, parts are readily available, good mileage, and won't shit the bed. Plus having 4 doors is nice, I know I'm going to be carting alot people around
hey /o/longtime poster from /fit/ & /sci/ here, just realized /o/ exists. I moved to the West coast a couple years ago and I can finally afford a car. I'm mostly a cyclist, but I want a car to drive to the countryside on weekends for camping/biking trips/festivals and to make the occasional 1000 km trip. I'm looking for something with solid 4x4 that can also be optionally camperized, but I also want it to be acceptable on the highway for when I have to drive between provinces. Also needs to be capable of starting in -20C and preferably old, Japanese, and simple to work on. For a long time I wanted a Mitsubishi Delica, but the demand is really high right now, so they're fucking expensive. I can afford a 90's L400, but they don't like to go faster than 100 km/h on the highway and they don't start easily in the winter. I'd go for the V6 petrol, but they're like $10k, so I've been considering other options. Do you guys know any other cars I should be looking at?
>>22412518Yeah could be a combination of muds, solar panel, mountain bikes on the back and 2 kayaks strapped to the roof hurting my fuel economy. Likewise everyone I know with a petrol one always has some Beverley hillbillies type shit strapped all over the roof of theirs when travelling, I think it's just delica life.
This is an american fucking board you assclownsSTop using metric here
>>22412840Yeah rightyoh, i'll get right on that
>>22412840hasn't it been owned by some jap guy for at least 3 years?
>>22412840lol shut the fuck up
Hey /o/, just bought a 99 Corolla and was wondering what modifications I should make to it. It's gonna be my daily driver (I'm pretty broke) and I don't really care about speed or anything, just trying to make it a little goofy for laughs. Already bought a cheap Dixie horn off eBay for it. Any suggestions?
>>22409893If you're just looking to ham it up a bit, think about grabbing some /o/ related stickers on /osg/>>22381844
Put a giant wing on ithttps://www.ebay.com/itm/74-Universal-VRX-V-2-Tall-9pcs-Duraflex-Body-Kit-Wing-Spoiler-113278/152867107794?epid=14017022874&hash=item239796f3d2:g:W~YAAOSw4ylcYjzj
>>22411413> stickers
>>22410209You're gay. Stop ruining your perfectly engineered corolla with tasteless non-functionality-or-performance-related "mods". It's not funny, it's stupid.
>>22409893You're going to look like such a stupid faggot if you rice this car.
Bros I want to die.My shitbox is rusted to shit, has electrical gremlins and might need some engine rebuilt because it sounds a bit rough.I love it do death, but should I say goodbye? Would it justify selling and buying an exact same model, but better maintained?I want to see it good, but it would cost me arm and leg trying to repair and paint it, rather than just buying another one.
>>22412807Buy a parts car and sell everything you dont need.
can you afford to fix it?if you can weld the rust and install a new engine yourself then i doubt its going to be a ton of money.otherwise i think its foolish to pour thousands into a shitheap that will be worth 1/3 of the amount spent at best.
>>22412875I think it's cheaper to use this one as a parts car.>>22412879Thresholds and doors are rusted away, really bad. God knows what's underneath though.About the engine it's give or take. It's actually not allowed to do an engine swap by yourself over here so I'd still have to take it to a service and get it re-registered with the new engine series +ᵗᵉᶜʰnᶦᶜᵃˡ ᶦnˢᵖᵉᶜᵗᶦᵒn ᶠᵒʳ ʳᵉʳᵉᵍᶦˢᵗᵉʳᶦnᵍ

>>22389212you forgot adub rub and tug club
Well that's concerning.Car still sounds like its idling normal but the gauge is reading low, either that or it can somehow idle at 200rpm
>>22410970Quite jelly of the tape deck. Love it, great condition.
I've got my eye on a nice used car being sold by a private seller, but I don't think I can buy it right now without going through a bunch of bullshit because DMVs are closed. I couldn't get the title notarized in person, and then I'd have to get a license plate but only a handful of DMVs are taking appointments, with the earliest dates in June. Has anyone successfully navigated this? Is it really dumb to buy the car and then just have it sit in my driveway for an unknown amount of time until I can legally have it registered?
>>22410487I literally bought a car in march in CA privately. Find a small insurance agency that can do DMV stuff like AAA
>>22412824Pretty sure California and North Carolina are drastically different when it comes to this stuff - I don't think AAA will help me register my car and get a license plate from the state
>>22410700kek
>>22410877Luckily my state isn't a shithole like yours so there isn't even a price slot. You just sign names and odometer reading and that's it. Don't even have to do the odometer part
>>22412858>my state is so much better>they don't even require a full paper trail on vehicle purchases!lol what universe is this
My neighbor hit my car with a baseball bat last night. What can I do to his car that isn't traceable back top me?I want to ruin his marriage
>>22412196No, it isn’t normal.>t. Doordash driver
corn syrup up the exhaust pipe, once it warms up there will be a fucking thick cloud of smoke pouring out
>>22409134Check if any neighbors have cams of your house from the batting. If not then you can sugar his tank, cut his brake lines, dealers choice.
>>22411497HILLARY4PREZ2008
>>22412196not long standing normal but it has become somewhat common to leave a tip out for a delivery driver so you don't have to come face to face with them on account of all the corona. of course this isn't accounting for the fact that germs can survive on many common surfaces including money for up to 48 hours, but it's the thought that counts.
Could someone ID this car? I came across it in a convention a fee years ago but the owner wasn't there.
>>22410850based on those gay ass wheels im going to assume its a kit car based on a Porsche 356.pic related is a real Porsche 356https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_356
>>22410850twingo with a styling kit
>>22411538That's what I said bitch, Poosha Type 356

>>22411728God save the Queen and Torque GT
>>22411883Woke up this morning to this reply. I commend you because that is a great attitude towards military life. If you can be successful in it, then more power to you. The military is not my idea of an easy path. However, I must point out that many veterans do not thrive like you have.
>>22411883this>>22411920but also this
>>22407819>investmentSo, you're buying a car so you can sell it? Buying a car as an investment is patently stupid.
guys, I finally finished my MBA degree and got a banging job in Houston downtown. First think I did is bought meself a euro luxury car - BMW!pic rel is me and my bitch. post it if you have it!
who makes these threads?
>>22412704>I just got the easiest masters possible>oh man I'm gonna make like 14 dollars an hour in sales plus 0.0156% commissions!
>>22412709>>oh man I'm gonna make like 14 dollars an hour in sales plus 0.0156% commissions!work hard. play hard.
>>22412718>oh man I "worked hard" and was able to get a salaried position making 48k a year>my boss keeps wanting me to work overtime I don't know why but my paycheck isn't going up>he probably appreciates me and my hard work
>>22412704These are the shittiest threads ever, it's really funny when you keep making them when they die
>regular cabs arent practicalyeah but them aesthetics
>>22409793Funny thing is the diff under the L200 is bigger than those typical city F150s and half ton Silverados
>>22410538Fucking do it. My first car was a 1989 Ford Ranger (named Gary) similar to pic rel. only with body rot everywhere and more dents than you could count that I bought for 600 dollars with the 4 banger and the 5 speed. It had 217,000 miles when I got it (indicated 17k) I ragged on that shit every day for years and it took abuse like a champ, all I did was top off the transmission fluid and change oil when I first got it, then absolutely no mainenance until the day it died (other than new brake pads/rotors and a set of of rear tires) When I got it didnt expect it to last longer than 6 months, let alone 3 years. It didn't even die, it was just totalled by some bitch in a sorento. Godspeed, Gary. Greatest fucking vehicle i ever owned
>>22412366I’m so sorry. I remember losing my first truck, it hurts a lot bro.
>>22405130>buying something twice as big as what you actually need just because you can just seems like needless excess and a waste of space though.Welcome to America, enjoy your visit
>>22386143This is up for sale near me, have you had much interest
Am i doomed?
>>22410818well, there's your problem, you got leaves in it!
>>22408298>water in the oilMaybe. Have any oil in the coolant?
>>22411394could be condensation
>>22411423Could be a lot of things. Time to test the radiator for exhaust.
>>22408298Could be worse
tfw good result
