Why do cars look like shit today? Where are the cyberpunk cars we were promised
Is there a way to make a cool angular car that still complies with safety measures?
>>23628614Find a car designer that works for manufacturer and he'll tell you about how hard that is.

>>23623548I want a 67 4 door. Like Sam and Dean's.

>>23627122Imagine the ass pain of having to replace those windshields >>23627125You’re gay
>>23627122it's built like a car from Cloud With A Chance of Meatballs, it's atrocious
>>23629026ok now lower it
>>23627122and the NTSB thought flip-up headlights were bad? These things will fucking remove people's legs if they hit someone.
>>23630350Anyone that manages to get hit by a fucking mail truck of all things probably deserves it anyway.
I’m going on a 6 month vacation. What should I do to prepare my diesel shitbox to stay idle for that period so it will be almost in the same condition when I come back?I live in a Northern country and might be out for winter. I might have a garage by that time
>>23627516dump anti gel/stabilizer into gas tankunplug fuel pump fuse and run car until fuel line is emptyunplug the battery
get a friend (if you have one) to run the engine once every few weeks
>>23627516Remove wheels, battery and keep fuel level low to pour on fresh stuff later. Silicone on everything rubber. Wash car and keep it in a heated garage.>>23627593It's a diesel engine. Doing that means manually pumping fuel into the engine afterwards.>>23627661Battery will die unless said friend will also drive around
>>23627516>I’m going on a 6 month vacation.Whatre you going to jail for anon?
What's the absolute most money you would pay for a Ford?
>>23625188>What issues?Well for one I had to have my headgasket replaced at <5000 miles since Ford apparently doesn't know how to assemble an engine with the correct parts.
difficult question, I'd say 5k but only If I really didn't need them for anything else.
>>23621997Sometime in the mid 2000s trucks became the new big body luxury vehicles in america. Unfortunately women have way too much say in the families financials, so trucks have become pussified, luxobarges.
I'd pay $0 for any Ford car EVER MADE!
>>23622718Ayyyyyeeee
When: this Friday, the 26th, at 9:50pmWhere: in, behind, to the side of, anywhere around the 76 gas station in Saratoga, just look for the shitboxes Why: i do what i want10pm is too late: lmao traffic tho retard Look, we gonna get some sips from 76, go up 9, turn right onto 35, stop at Alice's to regroup, then go down 84 to the beach. If you are directionally challenged, there's the maps keywords in the pic.There's roadwork on 9 apparently but it isn't a big deal. Bring any car or motorbike, no one cares. Bring a coat because it gets cold at the beach. Someone better bring a beach ball too. Consider bringing a frs radio so when you bin it we can laugh at you more
>>23628197He’ll never be a real woman
>>23623493Ok the reason why it's the same route as before is because too many people pussy out when they see Alpine Road as part of the route.
Hey guys, just FYI, I work for Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, and I’m legally obligated to deport any bean boy I encounter. Don’t come to this meet unless you have your papers in order, or I’ll have to send your ass back to Guadalajara. Again, I’m sorry to have to do this.
>>23628779It isn't the same route as a couple weeks ago, only shared road is 84 but this time the other direction. Tbh I just make the most generic short and fun route because short notice whatever drive
bump
You guys like some weird cars, like nobody cares about saturn or any of these consumer economy junkyard cars are you all memeing and i got here too late and I'm falling for it, dream bigger guys
>>23629750before he made the purchase he had a seperate thread asking if he should get a high end lexus for 100,000. a shit ton of people told him not to do it, but he explained how he had a lot of money in other investments and his girlfriend made a lot of money and had saw no issue with him making such a purchase. he eventually went down to 70,000 for the gtr, but still made threads about what to buy with the other 30,000, i dont remember what his decision was.was he wise? you decide.
>>23629765Get fucked. I'm not gonna spend my entire life "moving forward" and "obtaining skills" to "be suited for opportunities". Can a man just maintain what he has and lean back?
I smell bullshit off this thread
>>23629789Yeah
>>23629478Based anon
What does "maintaining" a car mean? I recently got myself a $20k ride as my first car, what am I supposed to do with it?
>>23628522>got a DCT instead of a traditional auto on my new carThank god there’s none of that “lifetime fluid” bullshit
>>23628453damn so im automatically white since i change my tires. i finally get to enjoy white privllege now. thanks anon
>>23628791If he got 20k car he must be over 18
>>23629415Yeah, but now you have to deal with TWO clutches
>>23628221>car has 30k recommended maintenance interval
can /o/ redpill me on GPS trackers? is there an /o/ approved solution?my car isnt worth a fuck of a lot but it has sentimental value so if it did get stolen i would want to recover it and maybe send some niggers to jail.i want something discreet (so no OBD port devices) that has its own battery but can be hardwired to the cars battery if necessary. thinking of either hiding it under the passenger seat, the rear dash, under the headliner, or somewhere in the trunk). would aslo prefer something that lets me use my own sim and phone plan and doesnt charge me a monthly fee to use some shitty app.
>>23629242i want one of those but i dont know which one to get. my plan is to get a usb rechargeable device but hardwire it in the trunk or under the passenger seat or rear dash using a dashcam power kit.
>>23629258Don't be cheap, get one that sends an alarm to your phone, if the car is moving without your authorization. It should have some log and send coordinates frequently. Chances are high that, once it arrives on site, it will be parked into a shielded garage. And if it's an expensive car and thives are not retarded, they will carry a gps jammer with them. But that is not often the case. Device could be hidden into some hole in the cars frame. And covered but accesible for charging. I'd check if the tracker gets warm when it sends the location. So if you stuff it somewhere, it won't overheat. And test it in the cold too. If needed, insulate the hiding spot.
>>23629300i doubt anyone who steals my 2011 hyundai is going to park it in a giant faraday cage. was thinking of getting this >>23629271 to keep it powered.would also prefer something that used data for real time tracking and alerts but i would also enable the SMS option incase the data is shit.
>>23629300>gps jammerNig bogs, they can barely read.This isn't gone in 60 seconds. With Nick looking for Elinor
>>23630134this... real time tracking is cool but its not like the cops are going to start a pursuit based on that shit. they will probably wait till you get a fix from a parking lot.
old >>23550116Starting off: is there a brake disc/pad combo that doesnt rust? Anybody have experience with it?
which of these do you prefer?
>>23628513either only main logo or no nothing
im particularly torn, deciding on a new car and for some reason an '18 golf gti s is sticking in my mind, probably because i found one at ~$20k with only 10,000 miles on it from a dealer i know. but im also considering a similar year acura TL or audi a4. practicality is important, but i obviously want it to be fun to drive too. i plan on being as spot on with maintenance as possible, but i really don't know what the maintenance cost difference is going to be, and living on the west coast inclines me towards japanese or american made. is self maintenance on the vw alright these days? am i stupid for hoping i can push a golf over 150k or are the vw memes a thing of the past now?
>>23628467I'm not even gonna get>lol 3 cyl cuckbox?
>>23628513Factory, then bottom middle, then bottom left and bottom right tied for 3rd
>big city j* will fine you if you drive through their cities with a car that's bad for the environmentI got a anual car inspection coming up and its there they will decide if I'm allow entry or not
>>23628478Nothing will matter as long as it passes smog.
>>23628478Yes,I failed emissions (UK MOT)Have a 1/4 tank of fuel or less,Empty bottle into tank,Take it for a thrashing.You will pass
>>23628478it loooks like its supposed to work simply by cleaning the fuel/injection systems. there are better fuel cleaners, I was looking into them not 5 minutes ago. Techron is probably the most popular and most recommended, but I opted for Red Line, also popular, because it contains upper cylinder lubricant, which I didnt see mentioned in other products
>>23630215I should mention these products also claim to reduce emissions, its just not their top tag-line. I think using techron or red line is a better choice than the OP
Well?
>>23627353girly af
Alfa, obviously
>>23629670should have been GM's euro electric brand. gm is retarded--could be like volvo is now
>>23627166BMW
>>23627166Unironically BMW. I don't give a fuck about the others.
It's over frenchbros
>>23628762It's OK, France. You didn't want those jobs anyway, right? Have you considered learning to code?
>>23629167Niggers are the only ones who can certify that a car is reliable.
>>23629167just like hundred other engines do
>>23628993The M28 aircooled flat twin, incredibly reliable engine, children can work on them, most have seen hundreds of thousands of miles without major rebuilds.
>CitroenWho even buys Citroens?I see new ones pop up but I can not figure out who keeps buying them?Is it women?
So /auto/ do you believe that an old dog can learn new tricks?>Didn’t learn to drive when I was in my teens>I paid to get my driver’s license; it was 200bucks at the time (if you are from the Balkans you know what I mean) and I always thought I would learn to drive at some other point in my life.>Lived in a big city everybody just commuted.>Fast-forward to now>realize how much I am missing but not driving>waste so much time going to and from work because of commuting>can’t go to the places my friends and relatives go with ought someone pick me up>feel like a helpless bitch every time someone gives me a ride>try to learn>I completely suck, panic all the time, can’t even handle the manual transition of the car my dad left me.>Did I miss my learning window and I can’t learn because of old age?>How much time did it take you to learn driving?>Any tips and tricks for an old guy like me?>Lastly is your starting car a factor? I own an SUV.(same model as pick)
nah just give up
Post your steering wheels and socks
>>23628226He wants to see your socks>avg Telsa owner
>>23628203Die
>>23628213>He did the onions faceMy sides!
>>23629070Unlikely. Teslas are the safest cars on the road.
>>23629358Wtf? Seriously. A f350 smashes into a model 3. Head on. The F350 keeps moving.
