I hate being a leaf and needing 4x4. So what you want about tires or driving skill, I pull out tons of rwd trucks all 9 months of winter.
Looking at 1995-2007 rams and they're all ridiculously priced because of the demand for trucks here. I can't pay 9k for something with tons of rust and 250k kms.
Coworker got an 05 with 90k and a bit of rust for 9k apparently but I think it was from his rich dad. I paid 16k cdn for a mega cab laramie with about 80k years ago and the prices are about the same
I'd be fine with a reg cab Short box but they all seem to be rwd here

>>24220663
I doubt it. Either electric motor is well capable of exceeding the grip threshold of the tires. Assuming the front and rear tires are identical, the only differentiator would be weight. The end that has more weight has more grip. It's the same principle as those tug of war videos. You can have all the power in the world but you need weight to put it to the ground.

Yeah no way this goes wrong ever, definitely worth saving the 1/1000th of a calorie it took to hit a singular button.

I cannot think or comprehend of anything more cucked than having a car Honestly, think about it rationally. You are fueling, insuring, maintaining and owning a car for at least 18 years solely so it can go and get cutoff by another driver. All the hard work you put into your beautiful little shitbox, going to the carwash, getting it an expensive detail and wax, driving it for pleasure, obeying the laws All of it has one simple result: your car is more easily truckolded by a superior rig.

Built the perfect track machine ? Great. Who benefits? If you're lucky, a random man who had nothing to do with the way it was built who crashes her. He gets to ravage the seats with his facts He gets the benefits of its 6 speed manual transmission and sweet handling characteristics that came from the way you built it.

As a "man" who has a car you are LITERALLY dedicating at least 20 years of your life simply to raise a pile of shit for another man to block in the passing lane for miles. It is the ULTIMATE AND FINAL cuck. Think about it logically.

Fellow poor fags, I have always driven beaters. Used cars I can find in good condition with recent major service intervals/service done. I've been entertaining the idea of buying a new car recently because I'm not really poor any more and I can afford it. I feel like the second I buy it I am going to feel horrible spending money on a commuting bugmobile. Have any fellow poorfags finally decided to splurge on a new model car and instantly feel assfucked?

Easy. He can see the tires and know " well shit, I better change thise", with the brakes, he can't see them, only feel them. And to him, it'll feel like the mechanic trying to rip him off. Absolutely retarded, but that's normies for ya

>root for whoever the cheeky underdog is who clearly wants to win the most

I’m looking for a comfy, quiet, cruiser of any body style with a plush interior and high quality materials. My budget is around 80k with some flexibility and I would be able to afford fairly expensive regular maintenance.

I’d like as much wood and leather as possible with minimal plastic, carbon fiber, etc. I don’t care at all about sportiness or power. Comfort/serenity is my main concern.

Dodge Laramie Longhorn yaaa bitch

My dad has pic related (1.8 automatic) since he bought it new in 2003, it has been surprisingly reliable for a Nissan designed by R*nault. In all those years aside from regular maintenance only the coil packs, camshaft position sensor and the fuel pump have been replaced. Now there is a very small leak coming from the water pump gasket. I'm going to replace the water pump and belts. Do I use the paper gasket with or without Silicone gasket maker? I'm hearing conflicting things from different mechanics. I always use the paper gasket only on the cleaned surfaces. Engine type is QG18DE. Also I'm going to fix it at his house without power tools, I hope a breaker bar is enough for the pulley bolts.

Just got a 2012 Nissan rouge today. Bought it used for $7400 thereabouts. It's nice. it has a
sunroof and the back seats fold down so I can turn it into a mini camper with a ceiling window. I was wanting to get a SUV but the wagons tend to have better gas milage.

Please do not bully me.

I was just treating this as a /nissan/ general thread. I don't know shit about gaskits or belts.

Is "reliability" just a term to describe the quality of parts, logical engineering, fit and finish, etc?

They are? Honda, Toyota, Subaru, they're all within $2-3k of VW (only normal tier euro OEM here). Lexus is expensive, sure, but then there's always Acura. I think it's more just giving a shit. European, Korean OEMs just don't care as much

>>24219896
i like to think of it as "how much trust do i have that it will get me where i need to go without outside help" but a lot of people seem to mean a much broader term. in my eyes something can be a POS but if it still gets you from A to B every single time without fail then its still reliable, even if you had to get out and jiggle the connector on the knock sensor to get it out of limp mode

Reliability is long maintenance intervals and easy maintenance. Cheap parts that are always in stock everywhere is a plus. I can't bring myself to sell my 91 Chevy. It's a sweet heart to the core. Its gone years with no issues and it's gone weeks with no issues, but it's 30 years old and still fucking going.

How do I stop going into autopilot/daydreaming/zoning out while driving? I have almost gotten in several accidents over this. The other night I almost turned left on a red light, and I can't even remember if it was red green or yellow when I pulled up to it because my mind was someplace else.

Do they even make any roomy cars like landboats anymore?

Must have:
>Front bench seat that can seat 3.

Must NOT have:
>Center console taking up the floor.

The last cars I know of like that are Ford Panther cars up until 2012 and some GM cars up until 2005. Are these really the last ones? Is there seriously no one making any cars like this anymore?
