What's the worst advice somebody has gave you regarding cars?
>>27506640What's it like having a cut micro dick?
>>27506639>This is the same retard who shit himself in our truck, washed the jeansin a reststop sink, then tried to save them, making the whole truck smell like shitlmao wtf. did he try to hold it in for too long or something?
>>27506304Why are they all like this? I personally know someone looking to trade their '24 model year crossover (that they pay ~$550/month on just payments) in for another brand new crossover because it could potentially get a few MPG more. Even if I daily my V8 shitbox that gets 13-14mpg I'm still going to save an incredible amount compared to that.>inb4 hurr maintenance, the MPG is always the justification
>>27506303>RWD, manual, brown, diesel station wagonsstill better than a bloated cuckoveror an EV
>>27506303It's called sovl, kiddo
shouldn't have called him a cagie
>>27505389I was hoping he'd have a gun pointing at the favela monkey with the camera when he opened the door. The bikers were almost certainly tormenting the guy in the car, which made him do something reckless to get past them all.

>>27505389A shame he didn’t score a strike.
>>27506490The other biker stayed behind with him
>>27505389>runs and attacks the driver instead of checking on his friends
>start car one day>pic related comes on and stays on every time I drive for the next 2 days>turns back off, been off sinceHuh. Guess it must have just been the wind.
>>27504243that's the life. couple months ago i got a horrible squeal from around the alternator, don't think it was the drive belt, probably the bearings on the idler pulley. but while i was diagnosing it one day it just stopped. hasn't come back since, purring like a kitten. we take the win.
>>27504260You gotta do it. Used magic to fix the car without even opening the hood, simply willed it back together.
>>27504243Probably a misfire or some evap bullshit.It will come back.
>>27504243OBDII code readers are like 20 bucks
>>27504983Have never bothered with this because I'm an /o/ tourist mega noobie with zero mechanical knowledge but I might as well if they're cheap, just out of curiosity if nothing else
Post toolbox.
>>27505198Needs moar WAT stickers
>>27505766Very clean, I know.

>>27505767True!
>>27505768I wish I had that much space.
Thoughts on buying a 2024 toyota 4runner? last year of the 5th gen (most likely). bulletproof engine, bad mpg. not sure if this is shrewd or dumb.
>>27506656>Truck frame.makes it tiny inside. Really, go crawl in a RAV4 and then a 4Runner and you'll seeThe truck frame itself doesn't make it tiny per se, but 4Runners definitely feel awfully cramped inside for what they are. If you don't exclusively need it's smaller footprint for fitting in off road trails something like a Chevy Tahoe would be a much better choice. You get far more usable space, the same MPG as the 4R but with a V8, and you can still get it with the Z71 package if you want to turn it into an Overlanding LARPmobile.FWIW I've got a friend with a 3rd gen with a 3.4L V6, and I've got a LWB GMT800 with a 6.0 V8 and we do both get the same MPG.
>>27506717We are boycotting Starbie's right now babe.
>>27506661So why do cars require $1000s in maintenance a year?
>>27506736>normies take car in for $279 oil change>"hey it looks like you need front shocks, want us to do them while you're here?">"okay, that'll be $1800+tax+tip">"wow guess it's time to trade this car in because maintenance is expensive"Clueless people pay out the ass for "maintenance" that not only is cheap if you know a decent mechanic, but most of the time isn't needed. I know a few non-car people and it's crazy how they get roped into paying every extra add on because it's "needed".
>>27506747>normies take car in for $279 oil change Stopped reading. It's 80 dollars max for normie cars.
Brake pad bros, we got too cocky
America turd world still has asbestos in brake pads. What a humiliation ritual to have these news
>>27506081Asbestos is based as fuck. Best fire retardant out there.
your pic is too small I can't read it on my shitposting TV.
Literally no brake pads use it anymore anyways except for cheap Chinese shit off amazon
>>27506077FJB.
Is it I kinda want to get one but finding a manual will be super hard is getting a auto ok or not
>>27505822>I literally have 3000$ dudeAny ba bf fg shits over it especially the 195kw 6sp zf which i have seen for 3kHad two aus both times btr4s gave out engines unkillable au2s are good au1 mixed bag avoid the vct and 5ltr ebay turbo build that cunt and eventually swap out that dogshit auto for something betterFg2 is the new au2 their too ovepriced high ks and thrashed now was struggling to find parts last year so i sold it put it towards a xr6 na+t
>>27506010>Are manual cars actually faster on these older cars or is the auto faster and only modern manual cars fasterUpshifts no downshifts yes no point shiftkitting or tuning btrs anymore or manual swaps unless its for novelty done both it sucks zf6 barra swap and be done with it i saw complete engine trans loom pedals go for 500 on marketplace and you can literally get a hootens harness and have it done in an afternoon
>>27505799I would already have a yard full of AUs if they weren't all autos, or if I knew it was easy to convert them.At the end of the day that's just a barrier too far when I know I can get my old Toyotas in manual or easily convert them.
>>27506028>195kw @ 2000kgor>170kw @ 1500kgHmmmm>6sp zfkys

Hi /o/ I'm the anon from a few days back asking for expectations when buying a Wrangler. I wss able to get a 2004 Sport model today for $7.4k vía Facebook Market.Specs are:>4WD>4.0L L-6 OHV 12V>188k miles>16 miles/galonPaint and soft top are pristine. Under the hood is super clean with no taped cables or rotten rubber. No rust. A/C works. Very clean and well maintained interiors. Need to change the tint on the windows and windshield since it's peeling off a bit, replace the right break light since it's not lighting up completely and just get some leather covers for it.Can anyone give any care tips? I'm already keeping it in my garage to shield from sun and rain. I live in Florida so I guess street salt is not an issue.General Jeep thread
>>27504404Any single-din from a decent brand like Kenwood, JVC, Sony, Alpine, etc. Stock speakers are kinda shit, and when you replace them get the select increments dash pods instead of just leaving them open on both sides.
>>27504404>>27504433It goes without saying that you need to put a sound bar in that thing if it doesn’t already have one. That small overheard light alone is worth the purchase, beyond actually being able to hear music at highway speeds with the top down. Soft top Jeeps are unexpectedly dark at night.
>>27504296https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/ometjhks-arb-old-man-emu-complete-sport-suspension-kit-2in-liftdid you even look?
>>27504685I did and this one doesn't include the bars. I'm not going to off road it so I don't think I need to spend this much on a kit.With that said, does anyone know where it's best to buy a seatbelt kit? Been looking on ebay but a lot of them are in rough conditions. Any recommendations for replacements I could get?
>>27505975The bars? You mean the sway bars that everyone removes or disconnects when going offroad?
lazy edition
>>27506525You'll definitely want a second set if it's your only car, the DWS06 are really good in the wet and can handle a little snow, but I don't have any good winter tire recommendations if you're far north enough to warrant it. I'm in northern Kentucky and regretted getting blizzard run flats for crazy cheap (never put rfts on a Miata) but drive on snow maybe 10 days out of the year. The AS's are much better for our mild rainy winters. The price difference between 'cheap' and decent wheels is small enough I'd actually recommend paying a little more for something that isn't heavy. Cheap heavy wheels will feel like shit over rough roads, even with 16s giving you some more sidewall. If you like the look just go for Enkei RPF1 or Advanti racing storms. Everyone has them for a reason.
>>27506555*Blizzak not blizzard
any of you that are 6.4 and fit in NC or ND? maybe even hard top
>>27506573Well shit 3 posts in a row but 6'3", short legs, fit the ST ND with a lower seat rail but not the RF/hard top
Soon™
what should you do in this situation?
light pull on the handbrake, collect a free 20k€ and rebuild it for 10% of it.not my problem.
>>27501340>nobody in this thread takes the challenge to raceguess I shouldn't be surprised
>>27501340Gear down and coast.
>>27504014>but when there's folks behind you, you're not passing anymoreUntrue. A car traveling at the speed limit on the left lane may be passing a car traveling below that limit on the right. You do not have the right to go faster than the speed limit. If a car is executing a legal pass, it's your duty to keep your distance and not create a dangerous situation. You can try and pass when that car merges back to the right. If you flash your lights, honk, or get on my ass, I'm going to slow down. Looks like your problem now, fella.
>>27504172You are choosing the road rage incident, I guessIf someone is aggro behind you and you don't take steps to calm the beast, you're also at fault, I'm so sorry, but there are others on the road around you>>27505323Then you need to fucking park properly>>27506100>A car traveling at the speed limit on the left lane may be passing a car traveling below that limit on the right.Cool, but when you're holding up traffic behind your, now you're cruising, you're not using the passing lanes as intended. Actually complete your pass, this might involve speeding up, or abort it and slot it back in. Continuing to cruise is not an option>If a car is executing a legal pass, it's your duty to keep your distance and not create a dangerous situation.And if someone is going to hit you, it's your duty to avoid it. You gonna drive straight into the dickhead turning left in front of you, or avoid the accident? Fuckin lol, bro. Speed limits are for those who can't self govern, and I only see them pulled out by left lane faggers waggling fingers going nuuh UHHH, child.
why are millennials soo aggressive?
>>27500807>stuck buying an overpriced boring apliance>new car: $25,000+>decent and reliable used car on fbm: <$4,000>beater shitbox: <$1,000I'm sorry to say, anon, but you're just a wrenchlet faggot
>>27505304You fags haven't done shit except loot some small businesses (BLM) and increase the amount of diversity hiresWoooooowww, how impressivet. Zoomer
>>27505028I know there are more fatties than ever, but BMI can be a retarded calculator. neing 140lbs at 5'11 is within the normal range and not hungry skeleton territory. I call bullshit, no adult male should weigh so little
>>27505673That's weird because all the best drivers I've seen are all boomers and zoomers, and invariably the worst are millenials because they are so aggressive and woman-like
>>27505721>OP asked a general question about an entire generation >reply with a generalization >some faggot feels the need to flex that he can change his oil and maybe his brakes at bestYeah we get it faggot, im sure all the single moms are really impressed by your wrenching abilities
pic related is the only actual affordable EUV with decent range and everything in my country. It costs like 5X less than a Model 3.What are /o/'s thoughts on BYD cars? Will Tesla ever release an actual affordable EV?
>>27502009A toyota Corolla is still 30-40 percent cheaper and will guarantee good resale and 20 years of motoring.
>>27502064This, you guys have to remember that BYD is a battery company that learned how to make cars from Toyota
>>27502090>>27502210>Chink self driving car hits pedestrian>Reverses over them again to make sure they don't live to sue10/10 would buy
>>27504114bold words from a fat trannyI do agree with you, but bold words
>>27506473based, I'm getting a BYD right now> run over someone> blame Chinese mega corp > sue them for emotional damage
CAR COLOR RANKINGS:1. Anything but black, white, or silver2. Silver3. Black4. White
>m3 is white>truck is gray>80 series cruiser is blackOh no. Anyway, guess I’ll just have to take comfort in knowing they’re all still cooler than the gay fwd econoboxes the majority of this board drives
>>27505322there's no such thing as spitfire green you asswipe
>>27505322thats just kawasaki green
>>27499201>There is no gray car on Earth that wouldn't look better in silver or black.
>>27506298Would have to be a pretty tragic colour to fuck this up
What were they THINKING
>>27505033I was just reflecting the other day that it's probably now impossible for a new mass producer of normal cars to come into existence in the western world.All these illustrious brands (sullied as they are) had to start somewhere, and today the equivalent place is just "we're the government, fuck you, fuck off, don't exist".:(
to have cleaner air. I drive diesel but hate when the local shitbus sprays its toxic fumes from the vent. I rather buy pee to the blue tank than have those fumes.
there's a coal mine in india which burns since 1917 or something but i can't drive a diesel without having that idiot APF scam creating a pressure drop at my goddamn exhaust
>>27506140What is the per capita emission of an Indian vs you?
>>27504995>blocks your DPF
I miss my Cayman S so mutch it's unrealFlat 6 mid engine RWD made my pp hard everytime I drove itPost your favorite owned car
Mine, right nowEasy choice
Loved this thing. Such a smooth ride, sound, and drop dead gorgeous.
>>27506310>Who walks away from their destination to make sure the shitty strip mall is in the background?You're asking why someone who made those aesthetic changes to their car would also have terrible enough taste to choose an office store chain as the backdrop of their picture. Look at those wheels. I see no reason why they don't own that car. Think about it before you walk in the door, first. Look at the store clerk; she's older than George Burns!
>>27506397Even from a photography perspective it makes no sense to shoot into the light source.
>>27506349those are some beefy tyres
