Both older ones and newer ones. They seem to be very hated or unpopular in America but loved in Swedistan
>>25924783The average working class Swede, like any other working class people, prefers comfort and practicality without paying out of the ass for it. Which is why the V70 was the favoured car at the time, and still is for second hand Volvos.The general consensus about Volvos is that they look like grandpa cars and are often driven by the stereotype. Nowadays this still holds as the hipsters and generally weird people end up driving the second hand ones, as it is a lot of value for money and they often remember their parents owning one. Yeah I have one aswell. I always thought I was into BMWs until I drove several and concluded the suspension is stupidly firm and makes for a rather uncomfortable daily driver. They are not overly reliable, they have their faults. Thankfully a lot of information can be found on forums. Interior quality is average and the mileage on most of them is pretty damn high. This does not equal ''well maintained'' as most of the owners are indeed cheapskates who just want a large car on a budget.
>>25924822the suspension part is about BMWs or Volvos?
>>25924825BMW likely. Mine (328i) was also hard and it's uncomfortable on bad roads. I switched to non runflat tires and the ride quality became much, much better. I also noticed a ~25% increase in fuel mileage around town.
>>25925052Runflats are shit but BMW loves em.
>>25925052Back up this comment, S60 for about six years now and it’s by far the comfiest seats and ride I’ve had. That said when I switch over to winter tires there is a noticeable difference. You can’t underestimate the tire selection on the ride quality.
Look how they massacred my boy...

Yeah tablets are shit. What's the best integration of a screen in a car, then?No, "no screen xd" does not count.

I've been thinking of a 3rd gen Tacoma. should I go for a 2016-2017 model or is there something worth the upgrade in a 2019-2020?(I don't want a current year model)
>>25925090That's all personal preference (other than lol frame recall).I like 2nd gen ranger more than 3rd gen but can't stand 1st gen as an example.

Dad's gf has a '00s S60. U-LEV car, which is all emissions nonsense. All of the fuel lines are internal to the tank.I was fisting that tank past my god damn elbow to undo this thing to take it out and repair it, because a new tank is ~$2,000 and backordered for a year.The quick disconnect cracked and just totally broke.Fancy pants digitally controlled heatgun to get the old fitting off, an oetiker clamp for added safety, improved addedness, and added improvedness on the new fitting.Even then, the nipple's retention lip is so close to the regulator body I had to trim part of the new fitting.Weird, noncey, and annoying. I fucking hate it.
>>25924327SULEV bmws have a forever warranty on emissions crap, i think. You might do some research on volvos to see if they do the same.

Not your typical weeb /o/ thread but what do you boat fags prefer inboards or outboards whats the pros and cons
>big block V8 obsessed boomers and all the Finnegans that wish they were oneInboards.>anyone else, especially reasonable peopleOutboards.
>>25923140>>>/n/also, outboards are nice because they are easily portable moduals that can be replaced or worked onthey limit the amount of seacock/through-hull maintence and overall are just nicethe only reason to have an inboard engine is if you have a large ship or some kind of racing powerboatall small pleasurecraft like aluminum fishing/pontoon would be retarded to opt for an inboard rather than out
>>25923140>Large (>50') live aboard or sport fisherInboard>Everything elseOutboardAnyone know if you can bump start an outboard? I know it can be done with a twin engine inboard
>>25923244like towing/pulling a boat with no working starter in the hopes the water turns the prop fast enough to kick the motor over?I doubt it, unless you can get the dead boat fucking flying across the waterprobably depends on a lot of factors like the gear ratio between the prop/engine and size/pitch/number of blades on the prop

I have a net worth of around $170k. I recently sold my car. It was inefficient. I've been looking into getting a Chevy Bolt EV 2023 for $28k. It's apparently an AMAZING car. I need a car. A lot of people don't seem to realize this, but Teslas are pieces of shit. And it's not even close. If people did the research on profit margins on those things, they beat out most other companies by far. They're trash. They break easily. And the self driving is a meme. And in a car? You should be relying on yourself. Thoughts, bros? With how high gas is, I feel like an EV is a lot better with how often gas prices fluctuate.
>>25924834If you're going to get a BEV, the Chevy Bolt is probably your best option. It's been around for 10 years.You're right that Teslas are trash. And frankly Tesla has really hampered the progress of BEV adoption by trying to market and make their cars as edgy luxury cars instead of reaching the wider customer market by making small and cheap econo BEVs. This would have been a big seller especially in cities where space is tight and city MPGs where BEVs perform best. And they would have reached demand from city utility and business vehicles.
>>25924890
>>25924913Fortunately stelantis is picking up the slack in the cities. The fiat 500 e is already selling extremely well and the upcoming jeep avenger will likely sell extremely well too. It will also be interesting to see what Alfa has in the works to kick Tesla out of the luxury market as well.
I have a networth more than you and I'm still driving my 2006 camry with 340k miles. Cars are a jewish trick.Dave your money and buy a classic if you enjoy motoring. My project car is a Mk2 vw golf. Love it
>>25924834>$28kWew
Worth it? Why or why not? Are they that efficient irl?>pic attachedThe worst it can happen?Why are they being discontinued?Will we get new ones with solar roofs?Your personal opinions/experience? Any advice?ty anons
>>25923702And that's irrelevant to this discussion. If someone is buying a new car, for whatever reason, then it makes perfect sense to buy a PHEV
>>25922481>Worth it?What do you mean by "it", Peasant?
>>25924515The purchase. The amortization - breaking even. The future of PHEVs, whether they'll still be cucked by eco policies bc they're still "combustion" even though they're amazingly efficient.
I have a Volt and I love it. Going back to pure gas would suck. The first hand experience makes reading the endless FUD on the internet that much more ridiculous.
>>25925047California specifically mentions that PHEVs are allowed but have to be able to go at least 50 miles on a charge, this should help weed out shitty PHEVs like that Wrangler, but I wished they made that minimum requirement higher
what does a family turn a car into?You have 4 passanger seats; you do plan on having a family right anon?

Pic related but black is black. Shop says a rod was thrown. $9200 to replace engine. They offered to buy it for 1000$. Am I being ripped off
>>25922819> The new remanufactured engine and oil pan is 9200$9200 for a 5.3. Find a new shop. The shop owner must have just bought a boat or owes the mafia money.
>>25922819I don’t even know how this is a question.You can get an engine and swap it for $800 including a machine shop checking out the engine. Spending $9,200 is beyond retarded, hell you can put a fucking supercharged V8 into the truck for that cost.
>>25922819what the fuck is it a built engine making 700 na hp? thats literally the only possible logical reason just the engine is 9 grand. that shop is kiked to oblivion, run far and run now.

My neighbor is selling his 1998 Thunderbird Super Coupe for $10,000. It has a lot of custom suspension work and is definitely unique. Problem is it did have some flood damage and sat for a few years. He was telling me this car is just waking up at 135mph and can top out super fast on the highway, is that true?
