Is start-stop a good thing?
>>23482334>> More stableoh i am laughing
>>23479521It’s fine for some with a giant battery like a Prius, but for everything else it exists as a bandaid to help cars meet the CAFE standards. Not meant for a healthy, longevity focused engine. If not a Prius, disable it if possible.
>>23484857Keep it on for 48V mild hybrids, they work the same as the Prius which has a really powerful ISG to turn the wheels and engine at the same time.
>>23483027Are you genuinely retarded, or just pretending to be retarded for LE EBIG TROLE XDDDDLOLZ?
>>23482360No it isn't, many manufacturers just took the same engines and added start/stop.

>>23484883I know we have these things...
>>23484883Yep, I've seen them in the NW USA, K9 vehicles.
Hey, anon, can you give me a ride home after work?
>>23485350Why do you work there? sounds like top10 shitjobs.
>>23484689>Hey, anon, can you give me a ride home after work?Absolutely, I love driving and any excuse to spend more time doing it works for me, besides I'm glad to do a coworker a favor. I'll scratch your back and you'll scratch mine, as they say.
>>23485459It's actually pretty comfy. When there's no government person present, we are just being on our phones most the time. But the pay isn't good.
>>23484920yeah don't ever give the crackhead a ride he'll call you asking for your spare tire
>>23486331Move up, bro and get a real job with real pay, so you can buy a decent car and shit.
Shitposting from my new model 3Why do you guys hate this car so much? I like it so far.And the QC for this car doesn’t have any of the issues people were complaining of...Also, I get free unlimited charging.So what’s the problem?
>>23485973Yeah we could've made it a fun car with pretty much no extra cost, but if the ID.3 goes from 0-100 in 5 seconds, who's gonna buy all the "fast" ICE cars made by our different brands like the S3?It's a town car, you don't need the acceleration anyway. What you need is efficiency which is just marginally worse than on a Mo3, mostly because the car is way heavier. Also you can buy a faster version for just 45k, you're not poor are you? Since efficiency is very important to this car, it doesn't come with a heavy, expensive heat pump either (stock). Lastly, please don't look for a frunk, there's none. All you'll find is that we ran out of varnish halfway through.
>>23460500Take the TDI pill
NGL. this makes my peepee hard.
>>23485393Sounds like you just described the Bolt, tbqh.
>>23481242>There is a lot of wasted space on the SMeh.>and the X needs to get rid of those falcon doorsThey're not gonna get rid of a silly gimmick that makes the car unique from any other car on the road. I don't particularly like it because I'd imagine it be a nightmare to open if two cars were parked next to it.>Both of this won't happen without a major refresh which isn't happening anytime soon.Don't care. I like the Model S and X's interior more than the smaller models. Plus they're more spacious in my opinion.>If anything they will be getting a front faisca that will match the 3/Y.Doubt. As for the interior, they might fit that same jumbo 15 inch monitor found in the 3 or Y and glue it in the middle of the dash because yay simplistic minimalism.
ITT we post cars we could actually "afford" but we would be forever broke with the maintenance/upkeep/payments/insurance etc.Only cars you would actually buy with your income/savings.
what do i have to do to drive mine except be born rich
>>23480342>Torque has nothing to do with gearing>what is a reduction gear forgo back to high school physics lol
>>23485182That would look retarded.
>>23476558>$25+k for a mediocre sports car with a quirky engine that makes no torque, burns oil, and eats apex sealsWeebs have ruined the used car market

Post weird looking cars because normal ones are boring.
>>23486125I think that post says more about you than me.
>>23484644Fair enough. But these were better than Corollas or shit Civics. No where else can you get a car that isnt a 100% shitbox, and can get leather and a decent engine on a small car than with American brands. The hive mind sucks, theyd rather have a generic cuckbox.>>23484656Maybe from that angle and color it doesnt look right, but their really not that bad. Plus I like it, fits the design language and Olds oddish styling. And these have aged pretty good and dont look anywhere near as old as they actually are.
>>23480287name one weird looking thing about it? sierra was second to 240s as the common asshauler back then. shure the xr4i option was not common but they had the same basic look.>4 door '82 as my third car
>>23486125>>23486439 doesn't seem to be alright. You should go to a doctor and tell him your problems. You're not alright now, but you'll be okay.
>>23480986>>23483394Good news!
I love my Honda Grom and all I want is friends to do serious squid shit with. However, almost all moto guys are straight, and im a gay femboy who's girly and also tall which seems to intimidate regular guys, forreal. Is it impossible for someone like me to fit in anywhere? It really has got me sad
>>23485460Dunno where you are but I can't imagine any of the gromfags I know giving a shit how femme you are. Maybe you could just leave your helmet on all the time and staying mute, like Raimu.
>>23485760Fantasizing about gay attraction is definitely faggy.
>>23485782I'm in the PNW>>23485804It seems to be the case though, what can I do about it
you'll fit right in with any grom riders
>>23485979For real, has any Grom owner not taken it up the ass at least 5 times?

Sexiest cars I routinely see on the road. I want to buy one, particularly in Lightning Blue.
>>23486431Expensive to add horses? Just got curious about mustangs cuz I see guys running twin turbo on the coyote and smoking cars

>>23486444Outside of eBay turbos 6-10k for adding boost then another 5-7k in wheels, half shafts and suspension to actually put it down. Pretty heavily modified a10 cars have gone high 9s still NA like steeda's silver bullet.
Which Japanese company makes the best sports cars overall in terms of quality and affordability?
>>23485445Yeah, you can't beat the Mazda Miata.It really is that good, and the aftermarket support is unreal. Nissan's have french engines and wonky suspension. Honda's are FWD. The BRZ/86 is okay but boxer motors suck to work on/modify. Subarus are fat now...
>BRZ/86With headers and tune, this is the best choice>MiataGay, slow, and no room. The s2000 is better in every way>370zNissan, enough saidToybaru and s2000 are the only jap sports cars worth a damn since 2000
>>23483047>hyundai>japanese
>>23485727The miata is just as big inside as the S2K and much easier to live with as a DD or a track car. Slightly slower but that's easy and cheap to fix.
>>23485727>BRZ/86>With headers and tune, this is the best choicethis. they are deceptively quick with these two simply mods. the handling is already very good and you won't need coilovers for most applications

everyone knows Equalizer 2000 is the best gun
>>23486159It's just a rebadged Toyota Matrix. Usually doesn't get price-gouged to the same degree though.
>>23486159Vibe GT is the same as the Matrix XRS and has the 2ZZ-GE high revving engineThat's the one to get
>>23486399Well I have a Matrix, and my girlfriend has a Vibe which I maintain for her. :p
>>23486486>my girlfriend has a Vibegiggity
>>23486399My Matrix is an '04 super base model, just has power locks. Windy windows, manual transmission, no cruise control, etc. Really love it. Mechanically everything works perfectly and it has never let me down in 2 years of ownership and it has about 280,000km on it now. Just had a leaky radiator when I got it so I replaced it and the thermostat for like $50 bucks and a few hours of my time. Bought the car for $1,700CAD.Girlfriend has an '06 vibe higher end model with the auto transmission, sunroof, power windows, locks, mirrors, cruise control, etc. Runs and drives really good. Just has an exhaust leak which I will deal with in the summer. It just needed a new starter motor which was like $150 or something and like 20 minutes to replace. I also did new front pads and brake rotors which was like $150 for everything, and like an hour and a half to do everything. Bought the car for $1,200CAD.

I fucking LOVE my little French shitbox. It's very fucking comfy because of its suspension setup, and I dont pretend I am a dunce trying to be sporty on the road, but it also has an excellent PSA engine. Not a big engine, but again, I am not a tard looking to do street racing, I just want to go from A to B without the exhaustion of travelling in a commie shitbox from 1990 (been there done that). I even slept in this little fucker.What non-french car brands also have a focus on confort without you paying out your fucking asshole to them?
>>23472047Nice
It's fun to see a stock big french saloon rolling ahead of the competition, back when there were championships for "unmodified" cars.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TQpgdgPTogThe 505 turbo won 4 years in a row within it's class too https://cdn.connectsites.net/user_files/scca/downloads/000/017/418/16-Club-RunoffsMediaGuide-0913.pdf?1473974687
>>23392701Fuck this reminds me of my old clio shitbox(not the williams, the crappy normal one), literally my first car that literally snapped oversteered me and I almost shat myself.
