Lets post car jokes about different cars!Extra points for /int/ernational content>Russian carsHow do you double the value of a LADA?Fill the tank!How do you overtake a LADA?Run!>Spanish carsSpain had the SEAT brand, and of course they came up with their own "Fix It Again Tony" for it>Siempre Estaras Apretando Tornillos>You Will Always Be Tightening Screws
>>23248259Imagine a sports car that gets gapped by a minivan
>>23248461Yea, I remember when they made the FRS too
What do you call a drunk guy trying to start his car?A lyft. Friends don't let friends drive drunk.New Teslas don't come with a new car smellThey come with an Elon Musk.While driving to work, robbers jumped into my car and stole everything.They were pirates of the car I be in.My last relationship ended because I didn't open the car door for her.Instead I just swam for the surface.I picked up a hitchhiker last night. He seemed surprised that I'd pick up a stranger. He asked, "Thanks but why would you pick me up? How would you know I'm not a serial killer?".I told him the chances of two serial killers in a car would be astronomical.
>>23248259Actually funny op
just no Alfa jokes pls, I'm sick of it
>passing that slow motherfucker that's been clogging the backroad up for the last 5 milesname a better feeling, /o/
running over cyclists and pedestrians who willingly block traffic
Driving on the sidewalk/bike lane to pass the slow motherfucker clogging up the road and running over pedestrians and cyclists in the process
>>23249001then he sees you about to pass him in his mirror so he speeds back up to block you in with the car in front of you
>>23249050>t. american
don’t buy c-clamps from harbor freight.
>>23247686That's what I call my 3/8s electric ratchet. The damn thing is ignorantly torquey for something not really meant to be "leaned on" and not run things on hard. All that extra torque does is make it so when you finally bottom out the fastener it slams your hands into anything in the way.
What's a good tool for this? I might be doing my brakes soon. Something cheap preferably
I heard that y'all like clamps, here's mine
>>23247818Probably these >>23243908They’re only like $20-$25 on Amazon and come with all the assorted adapters for the parking brake (if needed).
>>23243819you need a special tool to do this? i just use pliers
When?
>>23245736not gonna happen but would be cool.
>>23248864Those lights would age horribly and black makes it look better than other coloursBut yeah it is leagues better than current
>>23248911i dunno, man; I don't even like boxers but if it looked like that, i'd be putting a downpayment on it. Car manufacturers never make the good ones.
>>23248862https://youtu.be/_dKzt7L5soM?t=45It's the Beat
>>23248929good guess.

>>23247424You must be at least 18 to post here.
>>23246981nose is in the wrong spot, anon; It's not supposed to be above the eyes.
you will drive an Indian or Chinese car in the future. it is inevitable
>>23247825Nope. >>23247834Based.

What cars are sort of fun to drive, and also semi comfortable (soft suspension)?So far on the shortlist:>Golf GTI>Swift Sport>Miata>BMW 1, 2, 3, 4 series (are they fun enough without M-sport? Are they comfortable enough with M-sport?)What else should I go test drive?
>>23247778*cries in MX-5 backpain*
Theres no better hot hatch for daily than Golf GTI, atleast in Europe. Period.
Golf R.
>>23246788The only real answer is Mazda RX-8
>>23246788What is your budget?Used or new?
I would like to purchase automotive glass cleaner on the internet that effectively cleans the windshield without leaving streaks. My windshield is dirty and I would like it to be clean.>Windex is garbage.
>>23243536I'm going to tell you what to do>get NEW microfiber cloths, some car wax>buy distilled water/ isopryl alcohol>buy invisible glass cleaner>spray the living fuck out of your windshield on the inside with the water/alcohol mix and wipe it clean using two rag method, one rag to wipe another to dry>do it again with the invisible glass cleaner>now youre outside on the front windshield>start by spraying the fuck out of the windshield with the water/alcohol mix>wipe 2 towel method>repeat with invisible glass cleaner but this time CLEAN THE WIPER BLADES WITH IT>Now take clean rag dab wax on rag>apply on windshield>wait till it sets in>wipe cleanComment too long.

>all this autismwindex is fine. you're getting streaks because you're an idiot. wipe off with a coffee filter.
>>23243536Just use pic related with a microfiber rag. Do not get the spray bottle or wipes version.
>>23243536People think it's the glass cleaner that matters when it's acutally the towels, and you could even use plain water with the right towels. (two waffle weaves, one to wipe the glass cleaner and one to wipe the residue, wash these separatey)
>>23243536Autoglym fast glass and microfiber towel.If you care about you long term personal health, you should avoid most of cleaners in aerosol cans because most of them contain propellants that are bad for your health by inhalation and can give you a lung cancer.
Anyone remember that /o/ anon that kept posting pictures of his Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and a white chicken? Is he still here?
Checking in so I can see the chicken
>>23244588I'm still waiting for the anon who bought the Ford camper van with no powertrain to give an update
>>23247531It was a good chicken
>>23248584Oh THAT guy! Yeah, I remember him
bump
Let's talk about the next season, expectations, rumors and the like. We have some official information:>Renault will become Alpine F1, with 2 times world champion Fernando Alonso returning to F1>Aston Martin returns through the Racing Point F1 Team, with Vettel Leaving Ferrari and joining them, but losing Sergio Perez.>Ferrari loses Vettel but has signed Carlos Sainz>Haas loses both drivers>Mclaren will sign Ricciardo, who left Renault, they are also switching their renault enginges with mercedes power units.I'm a bit stoked for the Alpine team, Alonso was my favorite driver as a kid, although they are keeping the same engine so there's little chance for a victory in 2021, 2022 new engine rules are being introduced so maybe there's some change.
F1 is literally dead, anon.
>>23248786some truths are better when ignored
I'm not watching V6 shitboxes competing to see who'll use least fuel
>>23248791god damn lol, rip fjuan.
>>23248791To be honest, thats not even the reason why F1 is dead, although it didnt help and/or made things even worse.
>dealership is giving $2,000 minimum for ANY trade in when you buy a car>bring in my Miata>they tried to offer me $3,500 ($2k trade in + $1.5k for Miata)>fuck off>come back next day with a POS beat up early 2000s Hyundai with electrical problems out the wazoo>they still had to give me $2,000 for itAnd I also paid cash out the door. I bought a new car and traded in a POS. Felt good
These threads are usually accompanied by the car you purchased not a random picture. It was wrong of me to expect OP not to be a faggot for once.
>>23246118FCA? post your used renegade bro.
>>23246118>buy beater off CL for $150>Take to dealer to get $2k trade
>>23246118ok and whats the car you bought so we can find out you were still a retard in the end
>>23246118You really had the dealership over there anon! Good going
I cannot detemine if this is a deep stratch. I tried checking it with fingernail, it doesn't get stuck when i move across it but I can still feel a slight difference. The red paint is from another car that I scratched. I tried toothpaste method, at beggining it made stratches dissappear, but when it dried out it was simmilar to before, maybe just a slight improvement. Any suggestions? Thanks
>>23247265Isopropyl alcohol.
>>23247265Oh no!Dad's gonna be pissed!
>>23248112there is paint transwer, but there is stratch also under it..
>>23248131you mean that for paint?>>23248137he wasnt xd
>>23247996Thank you anon for being a good human. As a reward, maybe this video will be helpful:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2aC_oseMe4
I want to learn how to do simple-moderate car repairs. I've never done anything with tools in my life. Going to depend on YouTube to learn. Is this a good tool set to start with? Kobalt 319-Piece Mechanics Tool Set $71.55 YMMVhttps://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/t/14598952
Yes, this is fine. I've been starting to learn how to wrench myself recently after the past couple of years. Not much but I started off with a boxed set like this also but mine costed a bit over 100. You won't use most of the stuff, but unless you want to piece together your own set, just get this to start off.
>>23247076do it anon. I take car of my car with a 20$ box of wrenches/ratchets and my haynes manual. You can do it too.
>>23247846Milwaukee 2767 high torque 1/2”, you can get the tool and 5.0 battery on sale for $250 all the time. Don’t waste time with the M18 Fuel mid-torque unless you already have the high torque, you will regret not spending $50 more. For the ratchets and smaller impacts, M12 Fuel stubby impact, honestly you can run a 1/4” hex with socket adapters and get a lot done, and they have deals on M12 stuff with free tools like the ratchet at Home Depot all the time. The cordless stuff is so much nicer to use, especially at home where you don’t have a big 240v industrial compressor.You will never hit full power specs on most air tools with a 120v compressor. There is only so much power you can get from a 15A breaker, plus you’re tethered to a hose and won’t be able to help out a friend in his driveway or when somebody breaks down in a parking lot.There’s a reason why tons and tons of mechanics are switching to electric, even in shops where they have good air supplies.
>>23248608>at home where you don’t have a big 240v industrial compressor.Do poorfags really?
>>23248673Lots of people have 240 in the garage, but less have $3000+ compressors.240 is good to have, but it’s still not worth it for the compressor when cordless tools are getting so good. I love grabbing the impact without having to go deaf from the compressor and unroll air hoses, makes it so fast to pull off a wheel and check on something, plus a 4.0 battery will hold a useful charge for a year or more.
Do Jap cars have thinner metal than American?If I buy a Jap car I'm certain it'll rust right through faster. Sure, an American might have cheaper small parts that break, but they're cheap to replace and at least I'll actually have a car/frame to still drive, rather than disintegrating. Rather than "so reliable" Jap than having it fade to dust, even if its still going.This applies to all cars of all times. Pic related is a so called Japanese "luxury" car, I saw one in person, and the metal was hilariously tinny.Id rather have a big engine and and strong metal at the expense of cheap plastic interiors and little things.German cars are the best quality wise, but all that electronic over engineered fuckery makes them less reliable, even if physically the cars are good and that's too far off the deep end.Old Thread: https://archive.4plebs.org/o/thread/23239538/#23240748Remaking because I ACTUALLY want opinions. If the mod deletes again remember, you've been ruining this board for months and nobody likes you. If you cant even let people have a conversation on the internet I bet youre a mental good for nothing and should consider killing yourself to do society a favor.
>>23245959Salty sea air will still fuck up steel and most japs live near the coast.>nobody keeps anything longer than 5 yearsThis is the most likely reason. China is even worse from what I’ve heard. Makes you wonder what will happen once chinkmobiles become commonplace. Those will probably hold together a few years at most.
Toyota, especially from 00s and onward seem to hold together really well, even compared to euro cars.
>>23247234>>23247234>Gestapo-tier inspection laws and taxes.Japan is ezmodeI lived in China for 5 years and I couldn't even bother to get a car with how ridiculous everything was
I knew someone with a 90s holden that had a small accident that removed some paint to bare metal, it didn't rust.I once open the door on an 80's corolla and the door was unbelievably light but the cressida had a heavy feeling door.
>>23242778>OBD2 cuckboxSo driving something with a "modern" fuel injection system is for cucks now?
