transportation

[jagged sentinel]

The 550 did that too, no?

I mean the mustang got several distinctively different "looks" over it's lifespan

As did the camaro

[trail walrus]

Yes

And the 2019 and onwards Camaros don’t look great

The front bumper change is just, no

[jagged sentinel]

The ZR1 kept the older bumpers

ZL1

Sorry

[trail walrus]

Yes

But like dude

The fuck is this shit

The 2010 Camaro will always be my favorite, can’t wait to own one one day

[jagged sentinel]

For what it's worth you do have somewhat of a case for the challenger

[trail walrus]

Sad the challenger and charger are being discontinued

And sadly Dodge is pushing more into ev bs

[jagged sentinel]

Let's forget about this one though yeah?

[trail walrus]

Hopefully they’ll bring back the charger and challenger once they realize no one buys the ev

[trail walrus]

Oh god no, please don’t bring that up

[jagged sentinel]

Good, glad we're on the same page

[trail walrus]

Lmao

[jagged sentinel]

The Daytona concept bears the charger name

To be fair

[trail walrus]

I know

[jagged sentinel]

It does definitely have some callbacks to the chargers of legend

In the visuals department

[trail walrus]

I mean it looks, ok…

[livid sigil]

Ugly ass car

[trail walrus]

But it’s an electric dodge charger

[trail walrus]

Indeed

[livid sigil]

They are forced

[trail walrus]

Yes because the world is turning electric for no reason, I know

[jagged sentinel]

No, it's because of fucking fiat

[livid sigil]

Not fiat the US gov

Some shit about a score

[trail walrus]

If the us turns electric I’m moving out, simple as that

[jagged sentinel]

Dodge in particular is being shafted because of other companies under the same umbrella

The government is just inadvertently making sure they stick to their word

[trail walrus]

Now these are real Camaros

[jagged sentinel]

They're better looking than the newer SS, sure

[jagged sentinel]

Uh-huh.

It will likely be decades before gas gars are banned from the road altogether

[serene helm]

Das why they're shit!!

[trail walrus]

Well if I’m still alive the day that happens, I’m out

[jagged sentinel]

Ok

And go where

[trail walrus]

Somewhere where it’s not electric

[jagged sentinel]

Canada probably won't be far behind

Europe is probably going to do it before we do

[trail walrus]

Most likely

But who knows

[serene helm]

Also dud

[jagged sentinel]

I'm staying here because my goal is a career in EVs

Go on

Spit it out
Do your worst

[jagged sentinel]

[trail walrus]

Really wish I was born in the 80s or 90s, so I wouldn’t have to worry about this shit growing up but it is what is unfortunately

[jagged sentinel]

I was expecting that reaction tbh

and it's not necessarily because I like them

It's because 🤑

Simple as

[trail walrus]

I’d rather enjoy myself and make money, that’s just me tho

[jagged sentinel]

I'm willing to sacrifice some "fun at work" for some additional money

[trail walrus]

Well I’m not gonna try to start anything because I know there’s some really sensitive babies in here when you talk bad about ev, you know who you are, that’s all I’ll say

[jagged sentinel]

I don't like EVs

Or rather I don't like what they're doing to the industry and the context within which they are entering said industry

Me like big pushrod V8 that go vroom vroom hehe

[trail walrus]

Well

If you don’t like evs then why are you gonna do a career for it

There’s other jobs that probably pay better that you could do

[jagged sentinel]

Money

[jagged sentinel]

There's a demand for EV technicians and engineers

And it doesn't take a genius to see that the EV market is growing

[jagged sentinel]

I don't dislike them enough to refuse to work on them

[trail walrus]

Makes sense ig

[jagged sentinel]

And I'm not entirely against owning one

[trail walrus]

Mm

There’s only one in particular that I would ever consider buying

That’s only if I ever become rich and have an unlimited amount of money

[jagged sentinel]

Does it happen to be Croatian?

[trail walrus]

No

It’s a Taycan

That’s the only ev id consider buying

Again, that’s if I was super rich

[jagged sentinel]

I'd probably get a Ford lightning or a Rivian if they can get their shit together

Or a Hummer EV

[livid sigil]

She still going

[pine relic]

most countries in Western Europe are banning the sale of em by the end of the decade

the UK iirc its either 2030 or 2035

[jagged sentinel]

Yeah but I'm talking about banning gas cars from the road altogether

[pine relic]

oh

i dunno

if theres any time frame

on that one

[jagged sentinel]

I don't know either

But I have a feeling Europe will do it before we do

At least some European countries

[onyx rivet]

They say that you enjoy your job, you dont work a day in your life
So if it does become much worse than a chore to go and do your work, consider moving on

But yeah money is a playing factor so i dont blame you for shouldering something you dont really care for

Its also a a literal conflict of interest doing doing what you care vs what you rather not do

[jagged sentinel]

Car is car

[onyx rivet]

car is car, yes

but passion is also passion

[loud spade]

Anyone here ridden a Honda Silverwing?

[heady swift]

I wish

Saw a few listings for like 3 or 4K

[gloomy helm]

Most working Corsa

[steady cove]

Tf is wrong with it

[gloomy helm]

Broken gearbox

[steady cove]

It sounds like th gt3 cars ☠️☠️

[gloomy helm]

Lmaoo

[steady cove]

Literally the same thing

[gloomy helm]

Trooooo

[trail walrus]

Which one do I sell my kidney for? I can’t decide😭

The 812

[misty kiln]

Straight cut gears, but straight cut in half💀

[gloomy helm]

ONGGGG

[gloomy helm]

@kind osprey let me cook

[kind osprey]

That's pretty cute ngl

[gloomy helm]

ONG

[gloomy helm]

"whee"

[steady cove]

why is it 😮

[gloomy helm]

Is how they look

[gloomy helm]

Grill swap

[steady cove]

nah it looks more 😮 in the other photo

[gloomy helm]

Custom body panels

@surflvlfish#0000

@steady cove 6k euros all together 💀

[steady cove]

Not that much if you consider thats a racing kit

Theres cosmetic kits more expensive

[gloomy helm]

Nom of the performance gain

[steady cove]

[gloomy helm]

Except maybe lighter

[steady cove]

Its wider

Has better aero

Easier to fix and to substitute for a new one

Also some of the things in that list are needed

Such as a dashboard

And its also obviously wayy lighter, since they are even covering the windoes with kevlar

And plastic

[gloomy helm]

All that aero without an engine swap is not a good thing

[misty kiln]

Put a big fuckoff turbo on it

[gloomy helm]

Building boost all the way to redline

[steady cove]

Ofc it is.

[gloomy helm]

It's just drag

[steady cove]

Not like it matter bcs rallie cars are obligated to have a certain hp accordingly to their group anyways so its most like its stock

[steady cove]

Those dont create much drag

Actually im like 80% sure the motor the rallye car has is the normal one but with some mods lol

[gloomy helm]

Did some research, it has a 1.6 engine instead with 150hp more than stock engine

[misty kiln]

Yeah nah anyone thinking rally cars dont have engine mods is tripping hard

[steady cove]

So its just the ka 1.6 engine with mods probably

[gloomy helm]

No

Zetec 1.6

[steady cove]

What motor is it specifically then

[gloomy helm]

Not the one used in the ka

[steady cove]

[steady cove]

That specific ka might not have came with a 1.6 but the 1.6 ka comes with the zetec 1.6

Maybe they swapped the 1.0 idk

Nevermind its just really hard to get those engines @gloomy helm

Aparently the ka lower cyl come with other variant of the zetec but the 1.6 comes with the duratec

Unless they sell both for 1.6 idk its confusing

Cba to search

[gloomy helm]

I'm sorry

What are you actually on about

Like what's your overall point

I've lost complete sense of the conversation

[keen socket]

bros gonna pay 580 for a toy car AINTNOWAY

[trail walrus]

It’s not a toy car💀

But go on

[keen socket]

huh

[trail walrus]

Better than spending $500 on ugly shoes like some of these mfs do nowadays

[keen socket]

i would never pay 500 dollars for shoes, who would even do that lol

[trail walrus]

A lot of weird ass people do

People who make their whole personality based on shoes

[keen socket]

shoes of all things 💀

[trail walrus]

Korny ahh Jordan’s and air forces and shit

Fr

I’d rather spend $500 on a nice dinner at a fancy restaurant than a shitty pair of shoes

[keen socket]

fr

500 dollars gets you like 2 cool items off amazon or some shit, bunch of groceries, clothes

ngl the grey car model thing looks wicked

488

idk about that much money wicked though

[trail walrus]

Mhm the Pista

Might have to sell one of my current models to be able to afford it😭

Idk mane

[trail walrus]

Honestly

The cat girlfriend

[keen socket]

car

[trail walrus]

Or the lfa if I can sell it for the 2 mil it’s worth

[keen socket]

fr

2 million gets you everything

for free

starter pack 💀

[trail walrus]

But I hate the lfa so if I can’t sell it I’m gonna get that cat girlfriend and make her my cute little servant

[keen socket]

aintnoway

i would pick the car and sell it

or if the "cat girl" organs are worth more, i would pick the girl

that way i can get more money

[trail walrus]

Id purposely crash the lfa then sell it

[keen socket]

bros gonna lose so much money crashing it

[trail walrus]

Nah it won’t be that bad of a crash

[keen socket]

why is that car so expensive anyways

[trail walrus]

Only enough to piss off the lfa fanboys

[trail walrus]

It’s overpriced

[keen socket]

looks like every other lexus

[trail walrus]

It’s not worth the 2 million at all

Exactly

People only like it bc of its engine sound, that’s the only thing it’s famous for

Now don’t get me wrong

It sounds great

[keen socket]

the sound 💀

[trail walrus]

But is it worth 2 million? Hell no

[keen socket]

aint no way car fans like it because of the sound 🤣

thats a horrible reason to like a car

[trail walrus]

Well the sound is one of the best parts about a car, the only problem is is that if that’s the ONLY reason your spending 2 million for a car, it makes you a dumbass

[keen socket]

i think sound is one of the least important

If i was into cars and wanted a super wicked one

i would buy one that is easy to maintain and one that looks wicked

[trail walrus]

Well in terms of a driving experience, hearing the pure raw sound of a massive v8 or a v12 behind you is amazing

But that’s debatable I guess

[keen socket]

honestly i think a loud car would be kinda annoying to have around the house and stuff

i mean yeah one that sounds cool but

[trail walrus]

Oh I would love it

[keen socket]

i dont see the need for my car to be so loud

[trail walrus]

It would sound amazing, it would be fun, plus I could piss off my annoying ass neighbors every morning too

[keen socket]

If i had money and bought my "dream cars" i dont think they would even be loud enough to wake anyone up

[trail walrus]

I would spend over 10k in modifications

Probably more

If I had the spare money too

[keen socket]

what would be the cheapest way to have a fast car

i see supercars for like 2 million

[trail walrus]

I mean my first car is gonna be a 2010 Chevy Camaro ss which is one of my dream cars and I’m planning on buying like a $2000 exhaust system for it and some other modifications

[keen socket]

can you get that fast for like 60k

[trail walrus]

Well

Sorta

[keen socket]

just wondering, not something im doing lol

[trail walrus]

Really just depends

I mean you definitely aren’t gonna be able to find a modern day ferrari or Lamborghini that can go over 200 mph for 60k

[keen socket]

like making a car fast

not an actual supercar

[trail walrus]

But its possible to get like deals on used camaro zl1s and challengers and what not for around 60k that can go over 200

[keen socket]

I was looking at this one car it was like 3 million

[trail walrus]

What car

[keen socket]

lemme find it one sec

was shaped like smooth

driver in center or like a weird seat

[trail walrus]

Hmm

[keen socket]

like really round long car

[trail walrus]

Ah

Was it a Mclaren speedtail?

[keen socket]

lemme look that up rq

[trail walrus]

This?

[keen socket]

yes

that one

[trail walrus]

Ah, yes

The good ole speedtail

[keen socket]

If i was insanely rich i would buy one

ufo car

[trail walrus]

I would too, it sure is a beast

But I’d probably buy a mclaren f1 first tho

The car that was basically it’s predecessor

🥰

Some say it’s overrated, maybe a tad bit, but it’s still a living legend

$20million

[keen socket]

mr bean car

[trail walrus]

Indeed

[keen socket]

didnt he destroy it like 3 times

[trail walrus]

Twice I think

It was later sold for $12 million and repaired and fixed up

Can’t remember who owns it now

[keen socket]

12 million

how much was the car when he bought it

[trail walrus]

I think like 1 million

That’s how much it was when it released back in 1993

[keen socket]

so he gained 11 million from crashing a car 2 times

[trail walrus]

It’s gone up in value since then, only 106 of them exist and their extremely valuable bc of how unique they are, the way they were built, and the history behind them

It had a 6.1 liter naturally aspirated v12 and broke 240 mph and became the fast car in the world and held that record for 15 years

It’s still the fastest naturally aspirated car in the world

[keen socket]

240 mph is crazy

[trail walrus]

Well that’s not that crazy today, but in the 90s, especially with it being naturally aspirated was unheard of

Hopefully the Hennessy venom f5 will actually be able to reach 311 mph when tested and become the fastest car in the world

Can’t wait to see it happen

[keen socket]

i want like 4 cars

[trail walrus]

What cars

[keen socket]

volvo 240, bmw 2002, volvo 140, lada 2101

square car

[trail walrus]

I plan on owning 3 possible 4 cars when I grow up

All of which are under 100k

[keen socket]

people with dumb dream cars are funny

some people want like

mom cars

[trail walrus]

My ultimate dream car though, the crown jewel of my collection, is a 2004 Porsche carrera gt, which are like 2 million

[keen socket]

THIS

is

[trail walrus]

“The porsha carrera gt”

[trail walrus]

Fr some ppls dream cars are shitty used cars for like 11k that they plan to “modify”

Like mf

That’s cool and shit for like older mustangs and stuff

But most of the time it’s just boring ass stupid fucking cars

Or like you said, their dream car is a shitty mom suv

Or a r34

🤮

[keen socket]

i see kids on tiktok post mom cars

just bc the parents have one or some shit

and they are like obsessed with these mom cars that last like 2 years

[trail walrus]

I mean I will admit

There are some nice suvs out there

Like the dodge Durango srt, the Cadillac Escalade v etc

[keen socket]

i cant think of one personally

wagon cool though

[static gale]

It's popular enough for CDPR to sample it and use it in Cyberpunk

[trail walrus]

There’s a Lexus lfa sound in cyberpunk?

[keen socket]

okay?

[static gale]

ye
https://youtu.be/4rtfk9CKUsA?t=8

[keen socket]

that game was such a letdown

[trail walrus]

Ain’t no way💀💀

[keen socket]

thats what the car actually sounds like irl???

that sounds like a vacuum cleaner

🤣

[static gale]

it's just not as high revving as the actual car

[trail walrus]

Hold on

What it sounds like irl

Don’t get me wrong, the v10 is amazing

Not worth 2 mil tho

And not worth the hype

[keen socket]

that does not sound cool at all 💀

[trail walrus]

Here’s a better video

[keen socket]

its alright i guess but the car is ugly

[trail walrus]

The carrera gt sounds just as good (it also has a v10), it’s the same price point, and looks better, is faster, and you get more overall with the 2 mil you pay

[keen socket]

isnt that car dangerous

[trail walrus]

Sex

[trail walrus]

No

People say it is because of what happened to Paul walker

[misty kiln]

Wasnt a carrera gt

Ruf

[trail walrus]

?

[misty kiln]

Wasnt it?

[trail walrus]

He died in a carrera gt

[keen socket]

idk i saw somewhere the car was dangerous

who?

[trail walrus]

Paul walker

He was a movie actor

He died in a carrera bc he was speeding 93 in a neighborhood, lost control, hit a tree and burned to death

As unfortunate as it was, it wasn’t Porsches fault

[keen socket]

sounds like wreckless driving 💀

[misty kiln]

Carrera is allegedly a more dangerous car than most

[trail walrus]

And even if it is slightly “dangerous”, if I’m ever smart enough to get 2 million to spend on my dream car, I’m obviously going to be smart enough to treat it like an expensive car and obviously be careful with it

[static gale]

that's the same as the meme audio, lmao
#transportation message

[keen socket]

if you crash a car from speeding and there are no other cars around its normally your fault

[trail walrus]

Again, it’s gained a bad reputation bc of what happened to Paul walker, but that’s mainly from people who don’t know the full story

[keen socket]

"skill related issue" 🤓

[trail walrus]

If I ever get a cgt I’m not going 93 on a fucking public road, I’m only doing that shit on a long straight away on a track or some shit

[keen socket]

so this guy was speeding, and crashed

and died

but people blame it on the car

thats dumb

[trail walrus]

I mean

It’s sometimes critiqued for its lack of “safety features”

Keep in mind

The accident happened when the car was literally on fucking fire, and the entire front of it was totaled

[misty kiln]

Was it the one with limited driver assists

[keen socket]

womp womp

why does it say im lvl 5

im like 80 on gta or something

bro got all achievements

what is platinum on here

[trail walrus]

A little bit, it definitely isn’t safe as some modern day hyper or sport cars for sure, but at the end of the day, that doesn’t make it a dangerous car, and again, if I ever buy one, I’m treating it like it’s my fucking child, and I’m gonna be careful with it and drive it how it’s supposed to be driven

Anyway

I’m tired

Goodnight yall

[tough goblet]

idek

[keen socket]

💀

[kind osprey]

Between the race models, museum pieces, and lost and crashed ones, that number goes from a little over 100 to probably less than half of that. It sucks they made so few, but back in the 90's a 600,000 pound sticker price for a road car was absolutely unheard of.

I bet if they made 300-500 the price would be nowhere near 20mil

Probably around $5,000,000 on the low end to about $8,000,000 for a pristine one

[kind osprey]

Lfa's go for about $600,000-$900,000

I pass by this one a lot at work

It's always there just sitting in the show room idk if it is for sale or not

[kind osprey]

Shitty audio recordings do that thing 0 justice, it sounds insanely good in person

[keen socket]

im not a big fan of v10 sounds

[kind osprey]

Like the three cars that I have ever heard that sound better than an lfa are a Ferrari 599xx downshifting, a Carrera gt, and a Pagani huayra r

[kind osprey]

You're the first person to ever say this I think ngl

[keen socket]

im all for like any supercar but i dont care for the sound of a car

[kind osprey]

The imbalance of a v10 makes the sound amazing and all over the place

[keen socket]

i would like to have a more quiet car but not silent yk

I dont wanna be driving around and everyone knows where I am

v8 sounds cool though

[kind osprey]

The cylinder arraignment doesn't always equate to how loud it comes out to be, you can have an extremely quiet v10 or v12

High revving v8s like the 458 are probably my favorite out if the 8 cylinders

[keen socket]

volvo 140

[kind osprey]

The 458 isn't muffled or softened by a turbo like the 488 so it sounds beautiful

[keen socket]

ferrari is nice i like the cars they make

[kind osprey]

Driving the 488 is really quiet like shockingly quiet

I wish it had a bit more sound to it in the lower ranges

[keen socket]

you ever drive a car like that before

[kind osprey]

The 488? Yea

[keen socket]

nice

what cars do you own?

you gotta have something cool if you have driven a ferrari before

[kind osprey]

I used to daily a Grand Cherokee but that got totaled. I'm currently looking to get a Lexus is or Volso s60r as a next project

[keen socket]

volvo is my favorite car company besides like bmw

[kind osprey]

Rn I drive a boring Subaru lol

[keen socket]

i need a car like this one

[kind osprey]

Volvo is nice, they are very understated but have been a huge contribution to the car industry

Especially in safety

[keen socket]

invented 3 point seatbelt

left patent open for everyone

[kind osprey]

In about a year or two after I'm fully out of school I want to try and get either a lotus elise or lotus equivalent Opel

And make it a primary track car

[keen socket]

if i could build some kind of "racecar" no price limit

i would just buy a110

[kind osprey]

The a110 is so cool but they don't sell them here I think

So I'd have to jump through so many hoops to get it

[keen socket]

yeah i have no idea where i would get anything that is old volvo in usa

like 5 results show up for cheaper things

but i dont know who would pay 20,000 usd for a fucking 240 covered in rust

[kind osprey]

Oh if it is over 25 years importing will be a breeze, but there are already a decent amount of them around

[kind osprey]

Do they actually go for that much?

[keen socket]

ive seen

[kind osprey]

That's insane I would try and find an old lady locally with one sitting in the driveway of her house

[keen socket]

this thing

[kind osprey]

That is how you get all the tuner and good stuff without overpaying

[keen socket]

with the ugliest headlights and model year

is 20k

[kind osprey]

That's way too much damn

[keen socket]

this one is like 7k

only actual "good deal" compared to the other ones

says its 13k below average price 🤣

200k miles

[kind osprey]

Ik they last forever but still these car prices need to screw off

[keen socket]

"premium" features include

cd

chrome

"good mpg"

[kind osprey]

I can't get a fun project without sacrificing my retirement lmao

Ik a house around me that has a beat up Fiero I wonder if he will sell it

Fieros are basically mid engine'd American Miatas and if it is an 88' it won't have the oil issus

[keen socket]

exhaust vs wires

🔥🔥🔥🔥

"this car is so fun, only 4k and its like a mini sports car! i feel so 💥🔥🔥🔥🚒🧯🧨

still cool car though i like them a lot

[kind osprey]

Yea the 84-87 models I want to avoid like the plague

I used to have an 88

Also gone

The same way the grand Cherokee died

A flood 💀

Water and my vehicles have never gotten along

[keen socket]

bro needs to drive an ark around 💀

[kind osprey]

Lmao

[keen socket]

you can get v12 bmw for like 15k

i saw an auction thing

[kind osprey]

If I had my own like full shop garage I would get something really risky like that

[keen socket]

yeah that would be a risky buy fr

[kind osprey]

15k car with the maintenance of a $150,000 one

Parts to replace can be more than the price you pay sometimes

[keen socket]

I would avoid anything above like a v8 if I wanted cheaper car

[kind osprey]

Yea v12's are really cool but usually very complicated, if you want an engine layout with the best tunable ability and or just easier maintenance an inline 6 is usually the best bet

Inlines are always less complicated than v's and usually just easier to deal with, and 6 cylinders is a good balance

[keen socket]

what

i cant post a gif of a wicked car

"this cant be posted because it contains blocked content"

its a fuckin car

[kind osprey]

Level 5 and up have embed privileges, that's odd

I don't have any technical know how on what makes something allowed or not allowed here by the bots filter

But sometimes it'll block completely normal things unfortunately

[keen socket]

Its fine i could care less about it lol

just searched "car" and found wicked one

[loud spade]

Discord being discord

[vestal garnet]

Cus gifs are banned

💀

[trail walrus]

Damn I’ve seen that dealership before

I can’t remember the name

Regular lfas go for that much but the Nurburgring edition goes for around 2 mil

Either way both are overpriced

It was even overpriced when it was released back in 2012 and barely anyone bought it bc they didn’t see the point

[livid sigil]

This old fucker still got it

[kind osprey]

This is how most niche bespoke supercars are. They take millions upon millions to develop, the manufacturer charges an expensive amount and they still lose money with every sale, then they cut production early and they get a cult like following 10-15 years later.

[trail walrus]

[wintry shard]

Hello i have a question about cars

[steady cove]

Dont ask to ask

Just ask

[wintry shard]

Alr

If my friend has the workshop like idk some truck and theres workshop

Can i somehow use it on my own vehicles?

Like to put weapons on my deluxo from his truck

[steady cove]

No

Also

#gta-questions bcs this is a non gta chat @wintry shard

[wintry shard]

Yes sorry my bad

[runic fern]

Minttt

[analog needle]

i love transportation

so much

[trail walrus]

Saw this 570s parked in someone’s driveway, got out of my car and luckily enough the owner let me take some pictures

[hybrid charm]

Lol I saw the first pic and thought it was a game

[barren hawk]

Found these outside my neighborhood

[hybrid charm]

2 old French cars chilling

[steady cove]

Frog car

[kind osprey]

I love those little things

Now that or a Porsche on a track will absolutely dominate they just feel great

[trail walrus]

Indeed

The 600lt and 765lt are both extremely nice

But so is the 570s

Honestly was surprised to see this, the most high end car I’ve ever seen down here where I live is a 911 turbo s lmao

[keen socket]

never get one of these cars in red

[misty kiln]

Gauges look sick

[onyx rivet]

this on your VW?

[misty kiln]

Yessir, installed the dashboard after about 6 hours of work and enough breakdowns to put me in a mental institution

[onyx rivet]

did it illuminate before ?

[misty kiln]

Nope, and no idea why its doing it now i changed absolutely nothing between then and now

Clocks not working either so gonna have to pull the bastard out and fuck with it til it works too

[onyx rivet]

wait, you didnt install a light when you fiddling around with the tachos?

[misty kiln]

Nah had em already in, didnt even know they had lights ngl💀

There arent any bulbs behind them

Aside from the fuel gauge and other indicators on the farthest gauge to the right

Shows when ignition, high beams, parkers and full beams are on

And turn signals

[onyx rivet]

i will be real, from what i can gather, you dont seem to be the type of guy to into 60s/70s VW
why did ya start owning one?

[misty kiln]

Classic cars are my shit, picked it up for $1500 from a friend so hell of a deal

For a car thats worth around 30k as it sits

[onyx rivet]

holy shit 1.5?

good mate of yours

[misty kiln]

Yeah work colleague of my dads, had no idea what it was, just that it was his family's car since the 70s

Hell of a first car

[onyx rivet]

do you work as a restorerer of cars or something

[misty kiln]

Nah thats the goal, have a lot of experience with it due to restoring my dads mg with him

Pick up a fair bit from it tbf

[onyx rivet]

either way, you must be loaded, crazy or masochistic to own an alfa and a vw

both moneypits

[misty kiln]

All of the above

Im contemplating an rx8 currently too

Mate of mine found one, good for a flip car

Manual, series 2 luxury model, thinking bout 10k for it

[onyx rivet]

Im contemplating an rx8 currently too
loaded, crazy or masochistic
All of the above

its like you enjoy getting headaches

[misty kiln]

Cut and polish, new rims and should be easy enough to flip

Well yeah sounds about right

Keeps me busy though, love the work

[onyx rivet]

i hear that series 2 are better tthan the first series when it comes to rx8s

a bit better

[misty kiln]

Yep, better engine, generally more desirable in terms of looks too

Non turbo sadly, but still fun to drive

[onyx rivet]

are you on ye p-restrictions?

oh wait, your mate just found the car that way

[misty kiln]

Yeah nah no p restrictions in canberra

[junior fern]

Need 2 people to help in prison

2 missions plz

[onyx rivet]

there is no way the capital is that lenient

[misty kiln]

Oh but it is

And i have no idea why

But i am not complaining

[onyx rivet]

i am
this is ours:

P1 and P2 drivers are banned from driving high-performance vehicles that have:
Power to tare mass ratios of greater than 130kW per tonne or,
Modified engines that need to be approved by an engineer or,
Other vehicles classified as high performance.

no prizes for guessing wher i reside

[misty kiln]

Got to drive a twin turbo au making about 600 horses couple weeks back and drove past a couple cops😂

[misty kiln]

Yeah fuck that, no fun ay

[onyx rivet]

nah

[misty kiln]

Also, the 90km/h rule is fucking bs

But we dont have that here🥱

[onyx rivet]

we suck

not sure about vic but i wont be surprised the slightest if they dont have the 90kays rule there either

[misty kiln]

Yeah nah they dont

The p plate restriction may apply there though

We need @edgy sable for this

[onyx rivet]

do you reckon capital residents are shit drivers over there?

[misty kiln]

87% of the time

I fear parking in public places due to the amount of fuckwits that cant park

Also, whats your view on indicating off roundabouts

[onyx rivet]

So my idea of it making sense is that you only need to indicate if you need drive to an exit that’s not straight in front of you
so if you wanna exit to to the left or right or even do a u-turn, it makes sense to do so

is that what you meant

[misty kiln]

I think i get what you mean, but to clarify

Youre turning right, as you pass the 2nd exit (straight through) and approach the 3rd exit, you indicate left to signal your exit off the roundabout

[onyx rivet]

pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffttttttttttt

thats dumb as fuck but its required to pass the Ls to get your Ps

i have never seen anyone outside of driver test do that too

[misty kiln]

Ill always do it simply for one reason, ensures other drivers are aware of what i am doing, meaning theyre less likely to crash into me and fuck up my hard work💀

[onyx rivet]

i understand it

but i will be honest i will not employ that as a full liscence driver

[misty kiln]

And fair enough🤷‍♂️

Not many people do

I just find it easy so cant hurt

Safer too but makes no difference

[onyx rivet]

not really, im too stubborn to see the point of it
i can recognise how it could work in the real world but all my time of me sitting passenger with me dad, ive never even seen him conider it

[onyx rivet]

there will always be idiots on the road

[misty kiln]

100%

Its all down to common sense when driving

[onyx rivet]

will be a sad day to see your own car get fucked because a bloke wasnt paying attention/being a proper boofhead on purpose

[misty kiln]

Fr, im throwing hands if thats their reason if i ever get into an accident

They aint making it out with all 4 limbs working

[onyx rivet]

is your 159 wagon supposed to be your daily?

when it works

[misty kiln]

Yessir

Im getting a dpf delete and stage 2 tune in sydney soon

Should be fine aside from the rear main oil seal

[onyx rivet]

any problems with it so far or is it just shitposts that make me think thats its unfavourably skewed-RNG to get it started

[misty kiln]

Dpfs are cancerous, rear main oil seal overtorqued when servicing so it went ka fucking boom

Wasnt me servicing it btw💀

[onyx rivet]

the memes write themselves

bonus points for it being diesel

[misty kiln]

I dont service the alfa due to it being so low, pain in the ass to get it on ramps and remove the shitass engine cover

Diesels are great, love them but everything associated with the concept makes me cry

Fuckin dpfs

Whos idea was it to cut back on emissions

Pussy ass mf fr

underwater

its like murphy's law doesnt exist

[misty kiln]

💀💀💀

[onyx rivet]

if they break the world record for longest drive underwater., i'll put it down to the base vehicle of choice

[gloomy helm]

Most roundabouts here don't have 2 lanes when existing however so you normally do have to indicate off them as you are moving lanes in the roundabout

[onyx rivet]

makes sense, the colonised gets forced copies the colonisers

[misty kiln]

Switching lanes on a roundabout is insanely stupid ngl

[gloomy helm]

It's what is in the highway code for England

[misty kiln]

Its just dumb💀

[vestal garnet]

Fr

[gloomy helm]

How would the UK be called the colonised

[misty kiln]

Pick a lane fr

[misty kiln]

Australia

Talking bout australia, where we are from

[gloomy helm]

Oh

[gloomy helm]

Left lane is used for left and straight

Right is used for right

There's no real way to not change lane on a roundabout

[misty kiln]

Yes, but do not change in the middle of the roundabout

Just change before reaching it

[gloomy helm]

No because then you're just cutting people off

[misty kiln]

Right either goes straight or right

[gloomy helm]

No

Right goes right

There's not 2 lanes coming off roundabouts here

[misty kiln]

Which is stupid

[gloomy helm]

Small roads

[misty kiln]

Your countries suck

[gloomy helm]

🤷‍♀️

[onyx rivet]

And right lane is also used for fourth exit, am I correct?

[edgy sable]

we can’t drive hectic turbos but no 90km rule afaik

[wintry shard]

Cant say im not right that deluxo is best for transport its quite fast when flying fast when hovering and fast when driving

Its just best

[steady cove]

I already told you this is a non gta chat

To talk about gta vehicles please go to #gta-vehicles

[mint plank]

I love australia

same thing for the water speed record

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-07-18/how-a-car-drove-across-darwin-harbour-35-years-ago/10009608

we've done it once and we'll fucken do it again

[steady cove]

Only the real ones know about this

And no this is not in game

[steady cove]

Yassss

[dusky shale]

Bro its the zebra that took cheetas ankles

[trail walrus]

That’s a srt tomahawk

And yes that is a video game

Or a render

Not a real car and probably never will be

[steady cove]

It is a real car

Its a prototype made by sony

Kinda like a teaser

Search it u ll find it, they made 2 of them

[trail walrus]

No they didnt

It was a concept car made for the gran Turismo video game

[kind osprey]

The two that they made are they just show car bodies or do they actually run

[vestal garnet]

Gaming Car

[onyx rivet]

cant find any mention or pictures of the SRT Tomahawk
other than those in Gran Turismo, there are no photos of a prototype i can see
the Dodge Tomahawk motorcycle however is a different story

not sure you are taking the the piss either

[misty kiln]

Dash properly situated, just need to attach chrome trim on

[edgy sable]

wash your car

[misty kiln]

Pass, fresh air boxes have no water extraction hoses rn

[edgy sable]

i can taste the dirt on your windshield

use a cloth at least

[misty kiln]

No point, still drilling dash

[steady cove]

One of them runs the other is just a model

The one that runs isnt even fast

This is the one that doesnt move

[misty kiln]

Damn thats foul

[steady cove]

Yes it isss

Its a fake car but it still runs and stuff

"Dodge//SRT Design Studio in Auburn Hills, Michigan showed off their idea of the ultimate supercar from 20 years in the future with the SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo. The concept was a single-seat concept that pulled from existing and potential technologies to test the limits of performance."

[edgy sable]

you use it as a daily right you gotta look at that all the time

[misty kiln]

Unregistered

[edgy sable]

doesnt stop you 🤷‍♂️

[misty kiln]

Cant daily an unregistered car

Sure ill drive it on the daily, but only to test my work

[trail walrus]

Yes

My point is, the car does now exist irl

It only exists in a video game, and renders

[steady cove]

But it does 😭😭 its a prototype

[trail walrus]

Bro

No it doesn’t

If you can go on google and find a picture of it irl, then please be my guest

[steady cove]

I FOUND 3 ALREADY AND ITS ON A FACEBOOK POST BRUH

The ones i sent are all real

[trail walrus]

Facebook☠️

If the only place you can find them is Facebook, I’m pretty sure that tells you something

[steady cove]

Yeah theres more car scenes on facebook than on any other social media

[trail walrus]

No there aren’t

At all

[steady cove]

Yes there are

[trail walrus]

I’ll stick to instagram and tik tok

Don’t want a 50 year old+ mom app on my phone

[steady cove]

[trail walrus]

Research takes less than 3 seconds

[steady cove]

Yeah it still has a concept running car

[trail walrus]

Oh my god

Yes,||** in a fucking video game**||

[steady cove]

No its a concept car irl too

Not only in the game

[trail walrus]

Alr, whatever you say

[steady cove]

There 1 made

Just like the devel sixteen

But the devel sixteen has like

3 cars made

This one is the same but only 1

@trail walrus there, found a better image

[trail walrus]

Do you see how tall that dude is compared to that car💀

That’s just a big scale model

[steady cove]

Well, its the same car as the other images

You can tell it isnt that smol bcs of the chair

[trail walrus]

That’s not a full sized car

Sure it’s a concept, but it’s just a large scale model

[steady cove]

Then that chair is weirdly small

[trail walrus]

Usually when someone says “concept car”, that means a full on normal sized car, usually that runs but sometimes doesn’t

[trail walrus]

What chair?

[steady cove]

Here

Theres like 2 chairs

U can see that they are well scaled into the normal sized car

[trail walrus]

I don’t know

[steady cove]

Hahaha

[trail walrus]

It’s hard to tell

[steady cove]

Maybe

[trail walrus]

Still looks like a model to me

[steady cove]

They make many sized models

[steady cove]

How do you explain this then

Theres a normal hand inside the car

The models dont even have transparent glass

And in the game we both know that the driver doesnt show the hands much less in the top of the steering zone like that

[trail walrus]

That’s not a real image

Dude

[steady cove]

Its edited?

[trail walrus]

It’s either a render or from a game

It’s obvious

If it was a real photo, I’m sure I’d be able to find more information about it online, but I can’t

[steady cove]

No game other than gt has the tomahawk and we both know that it isnt gt

[steady cove]

I mean u cant look for anything cgu related either

You d find one or another

Also when people cgi cars like that they dont show hands or even a driver for that matter

[trail walrus]

Until more information comes out about it, I’m going to just assume that image is fake

Bc it most likely is

[proven rover]

Model most likely but not for testing or driving purposes, as mentioned earlier it is very unlikely that car will ever exist in real life

[trail walrus]

Exactly

And with the lack of information online about it and the concept and what not, I highly doubt it’s a full on running concept

Bc usually that shit is everywhere

[steady cove]

Real

[proven rover]

Prove it

Can't determine with only non facts

[trail walrus]

^

Show us an image of it irl

And with facts to back it up

[proven rover]

Based on the information available it is clear that the car is non existing

[steady cove]

I mean that image is pretty much believable by itself

[proven rover]

Heard of AI?

It generates pictures highly accurately but doesn't mean it's real

[steady cove]

That is not ai

You can tell right away

[trail walrus]

Well guess what

You can also tell that shit isn’t real

[proven rover]

By the looks of the second picture it looks more fake than a fake candy

[steady cove]

Maybe it is cgi that would be more probable than ai

[steady cove]

No it doesnt lol

[trail walrus]

I’m almost 100% sure that is a render for the concept made by dodge, the creators of gt6, or a random fella online

[steady cove]

Thats what im wondering tho

That image was obviously made in the release of gt6

[proven rover]

Look more in depth, you'll notice it.

[steady cove]

When gt6 was released people couldnt cgi like that

[proven rover]

Since when are wheels floating

[steady cove]

The wheels are not floating

[trail walrus]

Here’s 2 images of Ferraris going around that same type of track

Now you compare these to that image, which one looks real, and which is fake?

[steady cove]

They look both fake

Left looks like asseto corsa right idk what game it is

[trail walrus]

Look at this

Real life image taken of the Bugatti bolide

Compare this to the tomahawk image

[steady cove]

Different ambient and edited?

Also the bolide has a glossy shine

[trail walrus]

Still obvious that it’s real

[steady cove]

Better comparison tho one of the images is obviously taken with a bigger timer

[trail walrus]

Look

Someone just photoshopped it

[steady cove]

The lamborghini one looks fake

[steady cove]

Why..

Yk that corner is popular with taking dazzle pics...

Also the ad isnt even the same...

[trail walrus]

The wheels on both of them are identical my guy

This is enough evidence to prove it’s fake

[steady cove]

Im more inclined to it beeing real because the actual model of the tomahawk doesnt have a steering wheel, it has a yoke. And a concept made car wouldnt have an yoke bcs it was just made

[steady cove]

DMAN

DAMN

Its fake then

[trail walrus]

Extremely

[steady cove]

He did a really good job tho

They did that without ai in photoshop thats impressive

@trail walrus

Insane

[trail walrus]

Considering he edited it from an image that already existed of a different car he actually did do a decent job

If he did slightly a bit better then I would’ve thought it could’ve been real

[steady cove]

@trail walrus is this a real or a model car

[trail walrus]

Kinda hard to tell

I’m gonna say real

[dull folio]

@trail walrus Have you been to Zuffenhausen?

[trail walrus]

Never been to Germany unfortunately

Really do want to go at some point

[dull folio]

You should

been there last month, it's insane

Visited the Mercedes-Benz museum as well

Do you by any chance own a Porsche?

[steady cove]

Are you sure

[trail walrus]

Not yet

But I hope to someday🤞🙏

[trail walrus]

Yes

[steady cove]

Ye it real

[trail walrus]

Definitely hard to tell

But with the amount of detail on it I thought it couldn’t possibly be a model

[dull folio]

Same, but I want to buy a 987.2 Cayman/Boxster next year

Originally wanted to buy a 996.1/.2 C2 but the engines are awful

And 997.2 cars are unfortunately out of my reach

[trail walrus]

Yeah

My ultimate dream car is a cgt

As well as a 930

[dull folio]

What about your attainable Porsche cars?

[kind osprey]

I don't own one but I have driven them

I want to get one soon they are really nice

[dull folio]

Sick, what model?

[kind osprey]

The one I did recently was the gt3rs on a local track

I didn't get to street drive it

Just the laps

[dull folio]

I really want a "regular" GT3 because I want a manual, but that's completely out of my budget

Even the 996 gen GT3s are pretty expensive

[kind osprey]

The first thing I did when I got in I told the guy "I'm gonna play with the cupholders before I start"

Lmao

Because the 911 has those funny cup holders

That pop out

[kind osprey]

There is a 996 for $27,000 near me I would get it if I had the ability to maintain it

But I'm not going to deal with that until I know what I am doing

[dull folio]

regular Carrera/4/4S?

[kind osprey]

Given the price it was probably more on the base side

Which wouldn't be bad

[dull folio]

Unless you're prepared to do a 10-20k engine rebuild, avoid these cars

If you want a 996, get either the Turbo or GT3 (both the 996.1 and 996.2) and as well the 997.1 cars

the 997.2 cars got a completely new engine which doesn't suffer from the fatal flaws

[kind osprey]

I don't have 997 money, soon™️

[dull folio]

Same, thats the main reason why I chose to pursue the 987.2 cars, despite them being known as the "poor man's 911"

I was dead set on getting a 996.2 C2, but after reading a bit into the forums, I decided to avoid it

[trail walrus]

Tbh I don’t really know

I don’t really have an obtainable Porsche dream car

My obtainable dream car is a 2010 Chevy Camaro ss

[steady cove]

Also the fact thats a serie 1 with m8 seats

And alot more modifications

Making a model that detailed with inacurate parts is rare

[trail walrus]

Yep

[random crater]

1 of 1 rs6 c8 sedan

[steady cove]

Look good but the motor plastics look funny

[steady cove]

Im having this really stupid argument about this video

Like we all know that the s plaid is a family sedan, even with the track package its not a car that is meant to be a full on track car. The fact that it even comes close to the viper acr which is basically a track car is impressive...

Not really that "close" but its still impressive.

The guy keeps saying that the splaidtrack isnt a family sedan, its a track car and that it should be faster than the viper bcs its like 13 years younger and has like 1000hp.

@trail walrus whats your take on the argument

[gloomy helm]

How's it 1 of 1 :D idk too much about them

[random crater]

https://youtu.be/1bAn8RuQiw8

[sage roost]

Basically all RS6s are avants

and this person looks like he put the RS6 components into a standard S6

[gloomy helm]

Ooh

Now make a coupe/sportback/hatch/whatever it's called

:D

[sage roost]

RS7 exists

[gloomy helm]

No

[sage roost]

Yes

[jagged sentinel]

The only cool wagon the US gets anymore

[gloomy helm]

Sleeping on the MEGA outback

[jagged sentinel]

Subaru outback?

[gloomy helm]

Yes

I think that's sold in USA

Don't see why not

[jagged sentinel]

That's bordering on SUV territory

Subaru themselves call it an SUV

[gloomy helm]

Oh

L

[trail walrus]

The plaid is a piece of shit

[steady cove]

I agree

[steady cove]

I was talking about the argument tho not your opinion

[sage roost]

RS6 arguably the coolest wagon

other than those old Volvos

[trail walrus]

It’s not a track car, it’s a family sedan

And it shouldn’t be faster than the viper

[jagged sentinel]

Kind of a moot point though

Like, why should they even be compared

Built by different companies, in different times, for different reasons, for different people

One is a largely unremarkable, somewhat-sportier-than-base EV sedan that has a boatload of power, while the other is arguably one of the truest car enthusiast's/driver's cars ever
