NISMO engineers have dropped the manual option for the 400Z NISMO trim, citing that the manual is too slow for the track-oriented NISMO package.

Hmm. While the positives are that it's a cheap mid-engine V8 that finally achieves the dream of the OG engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov, there were a few choices Chevy decided to make that made me question wtf they were thinking.
>auto only, causing an increase of transmission issues compared to the C7's unique 7 speed
>strange design choice of the rear end
>retarded added weight to reach acceptable levels of crash testing
>questionable OS system using a derivative from Cadillac

Oh no. The horror.
And the weight listed on that site is wrong. The base model 1LT has a curb weight of 3,550 lbs. Which is still more than the C7, but nowhere near the ridiculous 3,800 lbs quoted.

Is it just me or does the "just build another lane, bro" meme actually work? I travel a lot for work, and always get either a rental vehicle to drive around in, and I've been to a lot of North America's largest cities.

I'll use Canada as an example because I'm Canadian:

Toronto:
>401, 403, 404, etc all the interchange roads have like 12 lanes, it gets congested sometimes, but traffic at least still moves
>Side streets are all mostly clear and very rarely gridlocked unless you're downtown after a Blue Jays game or something

Vancouver:
>Everything in the city is 1-2 lanes
>Takes 2-3 hours to get anywhere
>Entire city gridlocked, you just sit there for literally hours barely moving

These cities have similar populations, and I think the reason that it's so much better in Toronto is specifically because they just keep adding more lanes. Also, I'm not from either of these cities, don't particularly like either that much (both shitholes for different reasons), so I feel I'm fairly neutral here.

do you think retarded drivers aren't a problem? If everyone drove like I did, traffic would be vastly improved. Driver education needs to be a lot stricter and tougher. We keep building things to accomodate stupid people and end up making our society dumber as a result.

Just a few simple things would help a lot. And these are things that ought to be ticketable offenses, anyway.
>looking down at a phone while driving or at lights
>sitting in passing lanes
>not using indicators
>not following right of way rules to merge
>not zipper merging properly
>not keeping the proper following distance

these are all very simple things that can be fixed with little to no effort but it won't be fixed until people get tickets for this sort of thing AND the traffic schools get more serious about it. But it seems like everyone has just given up on human capibility and is waiting anxiously for the day they can finally relinquish all control to machines.

It's actually insane how many fake busywork jobs there are. A lot of them know their job is bullshit but yeah some actually think that somehow they are helping by giving their input to the professional trade with combined centuries of experience between us who are actually trying to make a profit and cannot afford any major screw-ups. Quality control is completely fucking superfluous, if you cannot do QC internally then you go out of business, simple as. I guess at the end of the day, in a roundabout way this is just welfare for people who would otherwise be unemployed but it's really frustrating. I'm not even joking when I say we price government jobs at 4 or 5 times the cost of private jobs, ESPECIALLY transportation infrastructure which for some reason has the most egregious amount of these do-nothing, busy work, safety and quality control cunts. And let me reiterate that women are THE WORST in construction, for whatever reason they are simply incapable of any independent thought or thinking outside the box required solving problems that may arise day-to-day. If you have a significant amount of women in executive positions your job will guaranteed take double the time it would take otherwise, the only good ones are those that know when to shut up and listen to a man and help facilitate things.

EV shills will never discuss TCO with you, especially the sources of their electricity

The grid is getting greener every day only because it is cheaper. Nothing to worry about. Even if everything ran on coal, it is still cleaner than gas cars.

Car manufacturers are secretly spying on drivers of their cars and reporting their driving data to insurers and driving up insurance rates
>Kenn Dahl says he has always been a careful driver. The owner of a software company near Seattle, he drives a leased Chevrolet Bolt. He’s never been responsible for an accident.
>So Mr. Dahl, 65, was surprised in 2022 when the cost of his car insurance jumped by 21 percent. Quotes from other insurance companies were also high. One insurance agent told him his LexisNexis report was a factor.
>LexisNexis is a New York-based global data broker with a “Risk Solutions” division that caters to the auto insurance industry and has traditionally kept tabs on car accidents and tickets. Upon Mr. Dahl’s request, LexisNexis sent him a 258-page “consumer disclosure report,” which it must provide per the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
>What it contained stunned him: more than 130 pages detailing each time he or his wife had driven the Bolt over the previous six months. It included the dates of 640 trips, their start and end times, the distance driven and an accounting of any speeding, hard braking or sharp accelerations. The only thing it didn’t have is where they had driven the car.
>On a Thursday morning in June for example, the car had been driven 7.33 miles in 18 minutes; there had been two rapid accelerations and two incidents of hard braking.
>According to the report, the trip details had been provided by General Motors — the manufacturer of the Chevy Bolt. LexisNexis analyzed that driving data to create a risk score “for insurers to use as one factor of many to create more personalized insurance coverage,” according to a LexisNexis spokesman, Dean Carney. Eight insurance companies had requested information about Mr. Dahl from LexisNexis over the previous month.

lads, I need opinions on my vehicle diagnosis.
>2000 Expedition XLT 5.4 4WD
>92,000 miles
I bought a truck 2.5 years ago and the expedition unfortunately just sat for that entire time.
It had a 1/4 tank of gas in it when I left it so i assume the gas is bad.
I tried getting it started this weekend, replaced the battery and bought new coils, spark plugs and a few other things. I also added 10 gallons of gas to the tank to dilute the shitty gas some since I don't have the tool to remove the QD fuel lines and drain the tank yet (I ordered the tool, should be here tuesday)

The SUV cranked but wouldnt start with the new battery. I put some starter fluid in it and it fired right up and ran for 2-3 seconds before stalling. Did this a couple times and kept stalling.
So after all that would I be leaning in the right direction if I were to assume the fuel pump/assembly could be bad? I ordered an OEM one off amazon since I should probably replace it anyway, im just trying to see if there is anything else I should be checking?

Thanks in advance, frens.
>pic wildly unrelated
>>
>>27504704
When you turn the key to the run position are you hearing the fuel pump prime? That would explain why it runs on starting fluid and then dies.
>>
check fuses and especially relays. idk if how early this goes but early/mid 00s Ford trucks love to melt their fuel pump relays, and of course because ford they are directly soldered to the fuse board. not difficult to replace (done it twice) just dumb to turn a 3.7 second fix into a 45 minute one. also idk if yours would have an fpcm (because 5.4), but if it does there is a testing procedure for that too since those don't necessarily die out of nowhere but they do corrode and fail over time because ford retardineers can't into galvanic corrosion apparently (aluminum back + steel frame + water/salt = metallic cancer).
if it's none of the above, take a rubber mallet or similar and give the fuel pump a good whack or 3 from the bottom of the tank. if it magically starts working, then you know the pump is for sure shot.
>>
>>27505134
Re: Ford fuel pump control module
The dorman ones are fully coated to prevent corrosion and have standoffs built in so they don't sit right against the frame. I've done a couple dozen of them on F150s.
