>>25929581It gets hot in Canada too, retard bro. Prairies will go easily passed 100 in summer

Now I’m not gonna sugar coat it, I’m pissed….royally pissed.People on this board think that all EV owners are the same. That’s not the case! We are not a monolith. ICE cars may be cool, but they ain’t practical. EVs are practical. EV DRIVERS ARE PRACTICAL PEOPLE. Come to think of it, I think EVs are pretty cool. Not to mention very diverse.

What is the best, worst, and most underrated car colors? Why is there so little variety nowadays?
>>25924559>Brightly colored cars are more likely to get stolen and have lower resale valueWhy would bright cars be targeted?
>>25927204>>25927204Whites literally the most boring colour
>>25929715It's not like thieves deliberately target them, but any car that sticks out and draws attention will be marginally more likely to be stolen
Does anyone here actually drive anything in a unique color? Bonus points for something new and not a rattle can special
>>25929797>>25924559It's the exact opposite, they avoid stealing easily identifiable vehicles because they're either going to chop them up and resell the parts, or ship them over seasWhy the fuck would you draw attention to yourself stealing a bright purple truck when there are 20 times as many black or silver trucks that will net you the same profit?
I want a Lexus LS400 so much bros. I have the money, is it worth getting it and keeping it for the rest of my life? I’m not gonna daily it, I have a hybrid Camry, I just want a landbarge with a V8.
>>25929578Sure they were in somewhat different catagories back in the day, but nowadays their both cheap, rwd, reliable old school comfy cruisers. They basically fall into the same catagory and price point in todays car market
>>25928591Just make sure timing belt was changed at the right intervals or you're in for a world of pain.
>>25929768Not the point. The point is why do people argue over these two platforms specifically? It just doesn't make any sense.
>>25929791If just explained it you nigger. They're cheap reliable and comfortable, other luxury cars from that era dont meet that criteria anymore. Theres also plenty of well kept ones out there. Older S classes and 7 series cost too much in maintenance to justify buying nowadays, most other american cars fell apart by now

>>25914987Why do black people park their cars this way?
>>25914987I only ever see spics backing up into spots, in their shitty lowered trucks with those blinding ebay LEDs. white people can afford a car with a backup camera so backing in isn't necessary.
>>25928383So basically your theory is that black guys with cars are ruining your fucking life by not parking backwards. Have you considered getting laid?

>>25929703>>259297104age is a really stupid idea, it makes like 120hp stock, up to 170/180 with reasonable mods and like 100ft-lbs of torque. you are aware that the z31 weighs ~3000lbs?NA k24 isn't as bad, but still, way less torque than the vg30. enjoy revving it to the moon constantly I guess
I grew up being really into cars but could never justify buying a car until I graduated college. When I graduated, I bought a used automatic 2013 mazda3 with 80k miles for a great price since I wanted to be financially smart about it since I moved to a new state. I've always wanted to learn stick and own something small and fun like a Miata but since I don't know how to drive stick, I didn't do it right off the bat. I recently got a raise making 90k at my job so I'm saving around $3500 a month after expenses. The first problem I'm having is how to switch cars if I do. the Mazda can be traded in at a dealership for ~7k which I'm not 100% sure is a good price or I could buy a Miata and sell it private later. A dealership near me is selling an 03 Miata with 58k miles but they want 15k which seems high. Alternatively, there's someone selling a 04 Miata with 165k miles for 6500. I think I can get a better price private party but I'm not sure how big a deal high miles is. Would it be realistic for me to buy either and learn stick before driving it home either from the prior owner or a friend. I'm also a little torn on if I should even get rid of the mazda3 in the current car market, it's been a very reliable car and for an automatic, it's a ton of fun.
>>25928416also, motor mounts, exhaust bushings, window seals, I blew the stock speakers, I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting.
>>25926902>I'm 22 years old and have 50k in cash saved upHow?
>>25928443I had a big scholarship at school and had three internships so I could live frugally.
>>25928416Is that really that much more than a regular commuter?

The new M3 grew on me because the green is nice and euro plates do a good job at breaking the grill up. This just looks like a budget Hyundai
>>25922321>horizontal kidney slats>that asswell there goes my chance to ever own an m2 comp since now those will shoot up in price
>>25925801Front and side I like, rear... is rough. I could cope.
>>25922321>>25922322>>25922323eh the more i look at it the more i sorta dont mind it. but that might just be me coping over not getting the last M2 when i had a chancethat color is absolute dogshit though and the rear bumper is definitely the worst thing ive seen in my life
>>25922321>>25922323Maybe it's the color that's deceivingly hiding the body lines and shit, but I'm having a hard time understanding how the designers at BMW could go from pic related to that pile of shit

>>25928323>EV’s have been around for over a centuryand look how fucking long it took them to advance from golf car tier to road capable. for a while the LEAF was the most widespread EV, thing could barely crack 70mph on a flat road
>>25929295To be fair a decade is almost the entirety of the average shitposter's life
>>25929295Yes, battery technology was basically stagnant from the moment Governments started subsidizing fossil fuels in WW1, until pretty recently.On the other hand, once money did start going back into battery research there was pretty rapid progress.In 1999 the best lead acid battery pack available weighed 533kg, and stored 16kWh, a little better than half a gallon of gas in a car that cost $100k (not that GM sold it).In 2008 the best lithium ion battery pack weighed about the same and stored 56kWh, about one and two thirds a gallons of gas in a car that cost $80k.In 2017 the best lithium ion battery pack weighed 480kg and stored 76kWh, about the same as two and a half gallons of gas in a car that cost $50k.Now the best battery pack tech puts about 100kWh (3 gallon equivalent) into 480kg, high-end cars are starting to ship out with 200kWh (6 gallon equivalent) packs, and cars with 60kWh packs can be found under $25k.We're kind of where gas cars were in the early 1920s when they started to really put things together, but there hasn't been a single vehicle that really puts everything together for a price affordable for the lower class like the Austin 7.

>>25927092Holden engineers made a V12 version of the HFV6 for a caddilac supercar that never came together. 650hp in NA trim and I can't remember the torque figure but it was diesel truck type numbers.Why did GM chop Holden off at the knees again? Was it because they were just too good?
