>>23469973>check my phone No>use my phone YesOnly while I'm working though, I fall into the exempt category of "emergency personnel"
>>23470048stats show its the distraction of the call that is the killer, not holding the phone or anything. so good job on justifying why youre a cunt

I am such a pussy I wont even change shit tracks on spotify until I get a red light
>>23469973don't have onework phone stays at home in a drawer
So a fren is looking to get into shitboxes and is looking at like a 66 Dart with the 273. Anything he should know before diving headfirst into it? Seems like a good starter classic.
>>23472437Mopars definitely aren't the cheapest option when it comes to parts.
>>23473227Ford or chevy is for sure the way to go for a first classic. Lots of chevys you can practically build out of a catalog. Anything by Mopar, AMC, Studebaker, or other wacky ass companies is guaranteed to be a parts nightmare in most cases.
>>23472488Truth
>>23472437If he wants a fun shitbox to work on probably a good idea to avoid any carb engines.
>tripfaggot acts like he knows everything about cars to his peers>comes here to ask LOL
These cunts live everywhere inside my car, from under the trunk cover to the bonnet.
This thread was great.

>stop 2 car lengths behind the next car at a stop light>slowly inch up till arrival at the bumper of the car in frontWHY THE FUCK DO PEOPLE DO THIS??? ARE THEY TRYING TO DRIVE ME INSANE?
>>23472347Holy shit I see this all the time.Or when they come to a stop a good few feet after the line to feel like they're getting ahead of traffic only to jerk off the gear stick when it's time to go

I was taught to do this as well but I'm too lazy to, I only do it in extremely heavy traffic. You should actually be thankful when people do this. They're making a buffer zone in case the person behind them wasn't paying attention and slams into them at high speed. That way they have a gap between them and you, as they are both forced forward from the impact, and might have enough room to not hit you. Of course they don't really give a shit about you when they do this, and it's just so the insurance is less complicated because they only have to deal with one collision and not two, but it still benefits you when people do this. You could fucking drive away without a scratch instead of being rear-ended. Be thankful.
>>23473219You..... Have no idea how insurance or driving works, do you?
>>23473219Based fucking retardStop when you ought to stop and stay stopped. A normal safe following distance is enough.You should be able to see the tires on the car in front of you if you're scared about being pinned in or something.'Doing something nice' is how traffic dangerous, that's where the term 'wave of death ' comes from.All you need to do is what's expected of you an literally nothing more
>>23473232this is /o/, nobody here has a license
was Polonez peak car design?
Polonez body was done by Giugiaro, so yes>pic related
>>23470789i wish designs like that to come back
>>23470789Whatever you think of the design the execution was famously horrific. Cut your knees open on sharp panels horrific

>>23467561eww grossboth the girl and engine choice
Its simple. You either have 12 cylinders or you dont. Everything else is just dogs barking over scraps.

>>23471216I testdrove a kia with one during summer, it was really really nice. You get bad swampass during summer in leather seats and it pretty much made it non-existantThat was the only thing I liked though, and it would have forced me to get 8k of options so I said fuck that
>>23468616Muh pedestrian safety
>>23471229Majority of new cars sold today have very poor visibility outside and most of all it is nearly impossible to figure out the dimensions of your car because of the shape. It's easier to reverse a van or box truck, because the car actually ends where it ends in your mirror, unlike on a Qashqai or CX-3 for example
>>23468649ah, the old sack warmer. My FJ80 had one
>>23468912>if I was buying a new car I'd definitely want itall new car sold have to have it.
>found a car I'm planning on buying>7500$>look into what I'd want for it mod wise>basic shit like a set of long tube headers, exhaust, cam, and air intake>cam would be 3-400$ by itself. 700$ with valve kit.>intake is like 150$ for a nice one that pulls from under the front bumper>exhaust + headers would be 2100$Fuck me. I've heard there's not much point in doing a cam if you aren't doing headers but ouch.

Why are new Audi/bmw/mb cars so goddamn ugly? Are there really people who unironically go into a dealership and pay for these cartoonish cars?
>>23468043this type grille looks way better than that regular one
>>23467503Mad Cuz Poor: The Post
>>23472072kek. Not only the cars look like they made for Instagram posts but the faggots who like it also speak like Instagram posts
>>23472553rather drive an instagram post audi than a reddit hyundai or jap shitbox
>>23467503MB has completely lost it, all their cars look like featureless bars of soap on the outside and RGB-laden screens and cheap-looking design on the inside. It is absolutely staggering how shitty they've gotten.BMW is teetering at the edge, everything they make is pigfat and their newest designs are some of the worst I've ever seen. My neighbor paid nearly 60k for a 430i and I want to strangle him, the dealer, and the designer of that car.Audi still makes good looking cars and has the best interiors in class, but jesus christ are they edging towards having absolutely nothing fun or interesting in their lineup. All their offerings are so muted compared to what they could be. Still currently the best of the three.tldr buy a poorschuh
So you are saying that they can remain at optimum engine speed forever in a drag race, and always beign the fastes around? That sounds awsome, why would you not buy them?
>>23472334They are all made out of glass.
They can do that with the proper tu ing, of course. But now we have karens complaining the car doesn't shift and they all make fake shifting whici intentionally cuts power so it seems that it shifts, kind of defeating the advantage if cvts.And also the reliability is still a big issue, no one wants a car that grenades its cvt at 100000 km and which costs a lot if money to fix - that's if anyone will touch it.
>>23472588this and they only put them on boring engines that sound like shit
Does anyone here have experience withs mercedes GLE’s? When I speed up, this icon of my car comes up to my display dashboard and the hood blinks red along with a beeping noise. I have no ides what it is and can’t find any information about it, can anyone offer any advice?
it prolly thinks ur hood isn't latched. maybe something with the sensor that checks the hood latch? u still have warranty?
>>23472790It only happens when I speed up so I doubt that its that. Thankfully I do, but it’s 22:00 at where I am and cant call anyone or do anything about it and I need to drive home
Check the hood, slam it hard and see if the error still appears. Most likely some stupid sensor of the hood is dirty or went bad. How old is the car?
Lmao >closed hood sensors
I get that the engine needs to suck air through a filter, but how does putting it inside a box help? Seems like it would reduce airflow, making the performance worse?Also I've seen a lot of images of turbos without any filters. That seems like a very bad idea to me. Wouldn't dust get into the combustion chamber if turbo is free to suck whatever it wants?
>>23470496How you liking the GMMG? Considering it for my 350 TPI turdgen. Got just a Borla muffler on it right now but it's incredibly quiet.Also get some tubular LCA's and panhard rod with poly bushings, they make the car so much better :^)
>>23469407Also are you still running the factory 10 bolt? I wanna upgrade but damn the prices are up there and its not something id be able to do on my own.
>>23471554The GMMG sounds perfect! I have a long list of mods to do this summer.>>23471771Yeah factory 10 bolt still. Not enough power, or traction, to worry yet.
>>23471538Yeah about 2.5 to 3 feet. It makes oil changes and stuff like that easier
>>23471771Swapping out the rear end on these cars is easy.Undo control arms on axle, undo shock bolts on axle, remove driveshaft, remove panhard rod off axle, remove brake lines, remove parking brake lines. Can be lowered out with a floor jack.
I'm considering buying a VW golf.Only problem is I'm 197CM (6'4) and 100kg (220lbs).I don't fit in my mums Carolla which I've been driving ever since my car broke down.Do any of you have any relative experience with this?
Thanks for the responses anons.>>23468494It feels great, hey?I'm down 25kg, and also putting on a fucktonne of muscle lifting daily.
>>23467305Unironically can fit 4 adult males at 6ft or slightly over with very little issue or if a fifth needs to sit centre. It opened my eyes to how dumb crossovers actually are as a design philosophy when I got an MQB platform hatchback
what years/gen should be avoided? iirc mk6 golfs and gtis had loads of little engine problems
Mk5 golf has plenty of room. I've driven my 6'3 friend plenty of times and he fits fine. You should test it out beforehand regardless though.
I'm 6'4 both mk4 and mk5 lots of leg room. Lots of head room. Lol at passenger behind.

>>23472716oh I was unaware you worked for triumph. please, do go on.
>>23472097I ride a naked bike of the freeway. I like the feeling of being blown around like a plastic bag
>>23470536Completely agree, i ride a somewhat nice bike but that doesn't gice me the right / wish to park like a faggot projecting
Yup, I just starting screaming to myself in the car again.
>>23469848whenever im by myself in my car i just recreate the pig calling contest
I wish I could still scream. I can't flex my vocal cords and do a loud squeal anymore. I have to groan in a different way. Can't properly sing either.
>>23471466you have HPV in ur throat
I remember talking to myself and singing and acting a fool so much in my car that I caused some condensation to form.
