But wouldn’t dualies on the rear wheels be better?

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

And a solution for that you know WIDE ass tires

#

And easier to replace

#

But the real question is the door.

jagged sentinel
#

Tires that wide are beyond overkill for the power the V-Tech makes anyway

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

In game? 607 hp

#

It’s got the thick ass fucking drag radials

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

Don’t get me started on the wiring harness

#

Making custom display screens

jagged sentinel
#

The interior would not pass safety

#

100%

#

No way

silent oak
#

But the cyber truck passed

#

And it had lack of screens so you know he paid off the board

jagged sentinel
#

The cybertruck at least has airbags

#

There is no space on the dashboard of the V-Tech for airbags

#

There's so much visual noise and polygons

silent oak
#

Like how would a manufacturer do THIS

#

There would need to be an experiment car label just for that

dire shard
#

tach on the ceiling? death 💀

jagged sentinel
#

I'd also like to point out the obvious lack of side or rear view mirrors

silent oak
#

And some cars have 1

#

So cyber punk better have a good insurance plan

jagged sentinel
#

Yeah it has cameras/sensors but those are as of now still illegal in the US

dire shard
#

aren't those things on the sides mirrors

jagged sentinel
#

Wait, yeah they are

dire shard
#

got that going for it

jagged sentinel
#

It's like one of three models in game with actual mirrors though

silent oak
#

The Porsche in game has 1 mirror on driver side

jagged sentinel
#

Everything else has what I presume to be sensors

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

But Johnny probably lost it in a dui

dire shard
#

is there a rear window in this car, a rear view mirror might not even be useful

jagged sentinel
#

He lost it because he got hit with the funny digitizer machine

dire shard
#

that's huge

silent oak
#

Go the Ferrari route

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

Have the smallest rear window and say fuck you to the person in the back

jagged sentinel
#

Not to mention the buttresses

dire shard
#

supercar pass

jagged sentinel
#

True

silent oak
#

The Ferrari testarossa had a small ass rear view

dire shard
#

the polestar 4 doesn't have a rear window and it's a crossover so whatever, we ball

jagged sentinel
#

I don't know if any of the type 66s have rear windows

silent oak
#

We had Cars in American history with less view than any other

#

Hell the crystal dome tech irl is impossible rn

#

And highly illegal because cops can’t look in your car

jagged sentinel
silent oak
jagged sentinel
#

There's an obvious safety hazard if the system fails

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

Since the projector is on the outside..

jagged sentinel
#

When the system is deactivated, it is completely opaque

silent oak
#

I’d love to see some engineer in the car world try to make that tech work

jagged sentinel
#

And if the system fails on the move... You become a giant projectile

dire shard
#

you were always a giant projectile 😎

silent oak
#

They will blow steam just thinking that they are a menace to society

jagged sentinel
#

It would probably weigh a crazy amount as well

dire shard
#

they're just small projectiles(except the new one, that's a full-size projectile)

jagged sentinel
#

Considering the crystal dome system is as much armor as it is style

silent oak
#

Smaller projectiles with a lot of plastic

#

So the crashies are getting plastic in the face

silent oak
#

Then was popularized by vets who became engineers

#

Since the basilisk uses it

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

And the nomads use the militech version I presume

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

Or just steal them off the junk yard rayfields lol

jagged sentinel
#

Rayfield's system is of course proprietary and built into the vehicles as opposed to being something that can be modified

jagged sentinel
silent oak
jagged sentinel
#

You can see militech branding on the "windows" of nomad vehicles with the CD system installed

silent oak
#

The mix of digital dash dials and gauges with all the computers

jagged sentinel
#

Rayfield's system is woven into the bodywork of the car; iirc most of the external bodywork of the caliburn and aerondight are crystaldome panels

silent oak
#

I feel redneck scientists could take inspiration from from cp77

#

Like with nomad inspired kit

jagged sentinel
#

I'd imagine the Excalibur is even more beefed up

silent oak
#

The Bugatti of the night city world

jagged sentinel
#

The inspiration is obvious

silent oak
#

I wished more militech cars used the crystal dome

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

Like seeing a militech suv with armored windows

#

So you couldn’t shoot out the driver without a clear visual

jagged sentinel
#

Though that's not a car

silent oak
#

The crazy wacky door opening

#

Maybe the 80s digital displays?

jagged sentinel
#

Self-driving obv

#

Absolutely fucking everything has it if the delivery service thing is to be believed

silent oak
#

Ai taxi drivers who speak to the passenger

#

Fucking eerie thought

jagged sentinel
#

(netwatch doesn't need to know about that tho)

silent oak
#

Driving you straight into the ocean

#

Where you die of idk toxic water

jagged sentinel
#

I mean Delamain pretty much says himself that he is a rogue AI

silent oak
#

For a company like net watch to not see that delamain isn’t ai is sorta dumb

#

Or just corpo money movin

jagged sentinel
#

Delamain is AI though

silent oak
#

A hostile back wall invasion

#

By standard procedure

jagged sentinel
#

I mean as far as rogue AIs go he's remarkably benign

#

But I get your point though

silent oak
#

He probably is like a mutually assured destruction bot. Knows humans will destroy his car if he gets too fiesty

jagged sentinel
#

If an AI like the one in Erebus/Canto MK6 got control of a cab they would do some serious damage

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

The fact we let somi into the hands of blue eyes is another fucking problem too

jagged sentinel
#

He said he's already concerned that his status is being questioned by the netwatch

jagged sentinel
static gale
#

damn, i missed the majority

silent oak
#

Given how net watch hasnt caught onto the so mi situation

#

Like a shootout between some 6 street gangsters and some max tac police unit guarding a black wall monster

jagged sentinel
#

I did that ending this weekend so I'm still fresh on this stuff

static gale
silent oak
#

Ha unlucky

jagged sentinel
static gale
#

i made Canto anyway, so it all worked out

jagged sentinel
#

Being totally helpless against a giant rogue-ai spider bot was a fun sequence

silent oak
#

If project orion has the same missions.. I want a horrer atmosphere

#

Like the whole police state thing

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

But anyways back on cars. Have you fine gents seen the absolute icon that is the Nissan juke?

#

The car that Jeremy LOVES

jagged sentinel
#

I was having a good day before you mentioned the juke

silent oak
#

I hate that car soo same

jagged sentinel
static gale
silent oak
#

It ruins my mood to know that people like it because it has character

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

NO IT DOESNT it looks like an inbred Pontiac vibe

static gale
#

I was hooked on the Aztek when I found out about this

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

Looks better then the cyber truck

#

I mean any car is better then a chrome ps1 car

static gale
#

wouldn't buy it. but i'd own it.

silent oak
#

Maybe lease it

jagged sentinel
#

The cybertruck looks less detailed than the cars that only render in when you're very far from the road in cyberpunk lmfao

silent oak
#

How did it pass safety..

jagged sentinel
#

Great fucking question

silent oak
#

The Delorean didn’t work out because polished steel doesn’t make it safe

jagged sentinel
#

I genuinely can't believe it would have

jagged sentinel
silent oak
dire shard
jagged sentinel
#

Safety was still largely an afterthought in the early 80s anyway

silent oak
#

Some car club had put a FUCKING FULL CHROME COVER

#

that’s a fucking death trap

#

what's wrong with my boy the cruiser

It’s ugly

#

that grille gives me nightmares

jagged sentinel

#

even Porsche does it more tastefully

jagged sentinel

#

Atleast it covers up the blood when you get into a car crash

#

So your car is better on the news cam

How you people feel about the peel p50!

#

That shitty British car

dire shard
#

which one

static gale

🚙

#

but it's

dire shard
#

you gotta be more specific

static gale

🚙 _ _

silent oak
#

There’s more.. peel p50s?

dire shard
#

no there's more shitty british cars

silent oak
#

Oh any British car?

static gale
#

this guy gets it

silent oak
#

They are in the same tier as French cars

jagged sentinel
#

Peel is actually based on the Isle of Man

static gale
#

where's the Isle of Men

dire shard
#

😎

silent oak
#

British share one thing with french which is horrible car design

jagged sentinel
dire shard
#

the ocean of men

static gale
#

real

jagged sentinel
#

I know that the Isle of Man is a British territory

dire shard
#

peel made another stupid car

#

oh the trident

#

what a stupid car

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

The Austin allegro is the fucking worst

jagged sentinel
#

I'm curious why the P50 and trident exist at all

silent oak
#

Hydrogas suspension.

dire shard
#

goodness me someone put a jet engine in a trident

silent oak
#

This is a British scrap pile!

#

Might look like it’s worth something but it isn’t

static gale
#

where are people getting all these turbines. The small ones, i get, but the ones they're putting to actually propel cars?! where are they coming from?

jagged sentinel
static gale
dire shard
#

probably scrap parts off boeings manufactured

jagged sentinel
#

Or some niche old market for jet engines I'm not aware of

silent oak
static gale
#

mmm

silent oak
#

There’s a reason why cars don’t use it

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

But can’t be as bad as French cars none aligned suspension

jagged sentinel
#

Simply getting better at making conventional suspension systems solved the problems that hydrogas was designed to solve

silent oak
#

French cars just suck irl

jagged sentinel
#

Not to mention electronically controlled stuff

silent oak
#

Cool concepts but never good in a production atmosphere

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

Cool car

jagged sentinel
#

It was either Citroen or Peugeot who tried to gain a foothold here but never did

#

I think it was Peugeot

silent oak
#

And now is a part of Stellantis

jagged sentinel

#

Which drives down the value by 50%

I don't think Americans know what Alpine is

#

We never got a production Dakar rally car..

#

Which is a shame

jagged sentinel
#

Bugatti, but they're basically just German now anyway

dire shard
#

always has been KEKW

silent oak
#

Like the Dakar 3008 maxi

#

I WANT ONE..

static gale
jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

They should sell the peugot 3008 maxi as a rally car and it would be popular if it wasn’t a French car

#

And if it was made by Jeep

jagged sentinel
#

I can never remember who had it first

dire shard
#

basically has never been french

jagged sentinel
#

The man who founded the original company was Italian, which complicated things even more

dire shard
#

bugatti is an italian name, the guy is italian, the land the cars were built in was in germany like 90% of the time

jagged sentinel
#

Though by that logic Pagani would be an Argentinian company

dire shard
#

the only french is the name of the paint they use and the funny little flag they put om the car occasionally 😎

silent oak
#

Love how all euro car brands become part of Germany lol

static gale
#

das auto

dire shard
#

they all got swallowed up by the vag, what an unfortunate acronym

jagged sentinel
#

Because Germany knows how to build stuff and do it efficiently, for better and for worse

silent oak
#

but Germans make their future projects so over complicated

jagged sentinel
#

Germans are very good at growing their money, as it were

silent oak
#

Greece moment

#

They can lend it but can’t get it back jk

jagged sentinel
silent oak
jagged sentinel
#

Unfortunately, these pesky humans often have a habit of letting things fall out of perfect working order

#

Which is really the only time German engineering works as designed lol

silent oak
#

My boss used to work on euro cars he hates Volvo

jagged sentinel
#

I don't mind Volvo

silent oak
#

Over spend on safety but compromise on other key issues of cars

jagged sentinel
#

I do think I'd ever own one but they've contributed significantly to automotive safety and continue to dominate in that sector

silent oak
#

They are impossible to repair however

jagged sentinel
#

Saab cars were cool but only because Saab is the only company I know of who could flex about making fighter jets in their car commercials

silent oak
#

If there damaged just total it

jagged sentinel
#

Say what you want about Saab but their advertising was always S-tier

silent oak
#

Japanese car companies looking at Mitsubishi

#

“Yeah you. Back in the 40s”

jagged sentinel
#

Japan as a country is...shall we say hesitant to directly admit to what they did back then

silent oak
#

And Nissan too

jagged sentinel
#

Especially what they did to China and Korea but that's not a discussion for this channel

silent oak
#

I love how Mitsubishi changed their brand image so quickly

#

And Nissan and Subaru

jagged sentinel
#

VW as we know it now didn't really participate in WWII

#

Just hear me out

#

When the war in Europe ended, VW was nothing but a single bombed out factory

silent oak
#

Just were a huge buisness that thrived under Mr German man

jagged sentinel
#

It was a British officer who looked at it and said, "hey, we can probably make something out of all this"

#

And the VW we know and tolerate eventually came of that

silent oak
#

VW has odd marketing

static gale
#

know and tolerate 😭

silent oak
#

And their cars are the same

#

Odd and weird

jagged sentinel
#

VW is the General Motors of Germany

silent oak
#

How bout Porsche?

jagged sentinel
static gale
#

could porsche to VW be considered like what Lexus is to Toyota at this point, or?

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

Porsche made tanks

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

And their first car was destroyed by US forces in ww2

static gale

mmm

static gale
# static gale i just watched a video on russian cars the other day

A classic car connaisseur talks about the communist cars of the Soviet Union. Specifically those of Russian carmakers during the 1950s and 60s. We talk about all the brands, like Lada, the GAZ Chaika, the illustrious Volga's and the superdeluxe state cars for the nomenklatura, the ZILs. Were they any good? And where are these pre-planned car bra...

▶ Play video
silent oak
#

That will make hipsters go mad

jagged sentinel
#

From what I understand, most cars on Russian roads are imports

silent oak
#

And rare for that matter

static gale
#

(yes, it does mention cars outside of russia)

jagged sentinel
#

I feel like as an American I have a bit of a tainted view of pickup trucks compared to the rest of the world

silent oak
#

Which were part of the greater Soviet Union which ment Russia cars basically

static gale

#

I think it was from donut media

#

Before Donut went to shit

silent oak
#

Avto Vaz and Lada .. Gaz Azlk

static gale
#

yeah, i haven't watched donut the way I used to sinnnnce, the HiLow with the Z

silent oak
#

Like seriously when have I heard of GAZ

static gale
#

so a few years now

jagged sentinel
#

The only Russian vehicles I like are the giant fuck-off mega trucks that they used to tow ICBMs and shit

#

The 6×6 and 8×8 monsters

silent oak
#

But I have a sneaking suspicion that Gaz is a Russian military car dealer

static gale

Rarity is a profound feature in the price of any car

#

the value of the car comes from the carcollaboration between Mercedes and Maclean and there are (around) 2100 car produced.

Either that or they become museum pieces

There is probably a higher chance to see a clk-gtr on the road than a sterling moss slr, they are just stupidly rare

Bro had a massive exhaust

#

And i think he swapped the engine

kind osprey
#

Best sound I've ever got to hear myself was probably just a regular Lamborghini or Ferrari v12 and Ferraris 458 v8's

#

Best sounding car I've driven though is hands down the gt3 rs solely because of the violent downshifts

#

Not an ideal road car, that job is better suited for a Huracan

#

Or an r8 same same

mental lion
#

Like unearthly great

#

Which model did you drive?

kind osprey
#

The downshifts then soon after hearing almost 9,000rpm out of of an n/a flat 6 was the biggest smile I think I've had in a while

#

There weren't long enough straights to really send it though I got it up to about 140mph then had to slow for a corner

Not bad at all

on what planet

silent oak
#

60s

#

Have you seen the race cars of the era?

kind osprey
#

You are mistaking these companies road cars with their race cars

#

back in the day they were two different things

#

the road cars had leather in them but that didn't make them comfortable by any means either

silent oak
#

Better then what the poors of the 60s had

#

Or the average driver of the 60s had. Beeg engine

kind osprey
#

economy cars vs higher end cars didn't really have an exponential leap in tech or performance around that era. The difference between a baseline Pontiac and a flagship Cadillac was mainly design and interior quality

#

that shift started to happen when every economy car became cheap looking and filled with plastic

#

then the luxury cars really started to stand out

silent oak
#

That’s why I love classic cars less plastic and tech more driver skill

#

And I’m partial to the 1990s dodge viper since it had no safety features so purely skill of the driver

kind osprey
#

There were a lot of downsides to older cars definitely but yea if they could viably use plastic back then they definitely would lol

#

Vipers are nice, we'll never see something like that be made again

#

it was really a last stand for cars like that

silent oak
#

Too many driver assistance programs in cars.. sad we don’t get any pure skill of driver kind of cars no more

kind osprey
#

some technology makes sense, and the ones that don't can usually be turned off for track use

#

abs for example, most people don't even know how to pump the brakes today, but why would you? abs is better than any driver

silent oak
#

I love how the viper didn’t have abs

#

So it was god take the wheel

kind osprey
#

abs isn't something that hinders the driving experience, if anything it saves you a new set of tires every week

#

one short stop and they are bald spotted

#

even if a deer running out on the road doesn't hit the car you're out $1000

silent oak
#

I’m just nostalgic to the good ole days when cars weren’t all tech

kind osprey
#

the best mix of it was probably around the late 90's and early 2000's which is why those cars are skyrocketing

#

sooner or later every poster car will be unaffordable and stored in garages never to be driven again, it's a sad tale

#

Like the Carrera gt, Enzo, Mclaren F1, Jaguar xj220 etc

#

Bugatti eb110, late 90's 911 turbos

#

and the rare gt2

#

Those had an amazing balance between tech and raw feel

#

If you like classic feel from a modern car you'll love Gordon Murray's new car company

#

he made 2 new models and they are crazy

silent oak
#

You forgot the legend of 80s cars too.. those were iconic and unforgettable. Well remembered into the 90s

kind osprey
#

90's cars were much better in performance and on the clutch, steering feel etc

#

80's cars still had things to get better at

silent oak
#

90s trucks tho

#

Those are beasts

kind osprey
#

like 18 wheelers?

Old 94 silverados

Peek 90s trucks

ohh like before suv's became comfy and popular

when they were purely utility

silent oak
#

Yes

#

When trucks were about utility not comfortability

#

Looking at you ford..

kind osprey
#

Yea most people who buy pickup trucks and suv's do not use it for pickup truck and suv things

silent oak
#

Half the drivers don’t use them for intended uses

kind osprey
#

they use them to commute and get groceries

#

it's such a wasteful consumer practice

silent oak
#

I love the 90s ram tubro diesel

#

unless you need 7 seats or you tow heavy things people just need to learn how to like sedans and station wagons again

#

some of the estate wagons look better than the sedans imo

silent oak

and you get a much better truck space

#

motorcycles are just too dangerous to use long distance

Eh I like cruisers bikes

#

Not fast but not slow

kind osprey
#

Modern cars are so efficient that they exhaust almost spews out just water

#

which is why it seems like such a mistake to have fully ev economy cars whn we can just make good quality hybrids

silent oak
#

EVs won’t replace ICEs completely

kind osprey
#

you pair a 1.5l 4 cylinder with a little electric motor and it'll get 50mpg while being faster than a 2.0 liter of a previous generation

silent oak
#

I get 14 mpg in my challenger..

kind osprey
silent oak
#

If they get a hybrid V8 hemi maybe

static gale
#

I know two people with a pickup truck that use them for their purpose. One has a literal boat, and the other is an actual trucker

kind osprey
#

Cars like that shouldn't mask efficiency because they will never be efficient

#

enthusiast cars should still exist but mass produced economy cars are the ones that should be made into the most efficient vehicles possible

#

banning Lamborghini and Ferrari from using v10's and v12's will not help the environment in any way, it'll just make people angry and hate their local politicians

silent oak
#

I don’t like boring cars

#

Just me

kind osprey
#

even if a 5.2 liter v10 produces 10 times the emissions of a 4 cyl Corolla, there are 100x as many corollas and they travel 10x the distance per year

#

the averager Huracan goes like 4000 miles a year

kind osprey
# silent oak I don’t like boring cars

exactly, They have a place in this world as reliable transportation but instead of ruining it for enthusiasts they should focus on making the boring cars better

#

because the boring cars make up 80% of cars

#

so most of the greenhouse emissions

silent oak
#

I never drove a “boring” car in my life to be honest

kind osprey

are you loaded?

silent oak

I worked my ass off to buy a challenger

#

It was a v6

non boring cars are extremely expensive

Loved that GT

#

Awd

kind osprey
#

it depends on the perspective you're approaching

silent oak
#

Idk 300 hp isn’t a normal car hp

kind osprey
#

you can really like a little mid engine 150hp economy shitbox and consider that a non boring car because it is quirky

#

it's not all about hp

#

300hp isn't high today

silent oak
#

That’s why I want a hellcat

kind osprey
#

I would consider a 1988 Pontiac fiero a quirky mid engine shitbox and I love those things because they are weird and not very well known

#

to fill an example for you

#

mr2 also

#

but mr2's were built much better

silent oak
#

My challenger rt is almost paid off

#

So I think I can go hellcat route

kind osprey
#

if you want a car that is fun to drive hp isn't the biggest factor

silent oak
#

You think I’m not going to enjoy 717 hp and 656 lbs of torque?

static gale
#

as long as you enjoy it responsibly, you do you

silent oak
kind osprey

comparatively i'd rather have a 250hp car that weighs 2100 pounds than a car with 717 horsepower that weighs 4500 pounds

any day of the week

I prefer fun cars…

For the price of a Hellcat you could probably build a really nice Corvette build

I like the hemi whine you get from a hellcat

the whine is a supercharger

you can slap a blower on anything

I don't recommend that though lol

Put a supercharger on a stock miata, it will be like jumping in lava

you can only do it once

I would love to put a cold air intake on a super charger so it’s loud asf

jagged sentinel

The supercharger(s) that Chevrolet uses on the LT4 and LT5 aren't as loud as that of the hellcats

silent oak

The scat packs come with cold air intakes so it’s louder

Congrats

silent oak
#

The hemi whine sounds so much better

jagged sentinel
#

It's to the point that any supercharger whine is immediately compared to hellcat whine or mistaken for a hellcat whine

#

Like how any straight cut gear noise is immediately compared to the M3 GTR

silent oak
#

Dodge likes loud and obnoxious

#

Like its drivers

jagged sentinel
#

More bark and less bite compared to its rivals

silent oak
#

But will absolutely dominate on the drag strip

jagged sentinel
#

I guess depending on how you look at it they have more bite too

silent oak
jagged sentinel
#

In a straight line

#

They have more horsepower but they don't have the handling chops to match

silent oak
#

It’s a muscle car not a sports car

jagged sentinel

Muscle cars are sports cars, just not the kind of sports car you're thinking of

silent oak

Just raw power sports cars

Dodge managed to squeeze 717 hp out of a 6.2L V8

Ford did it out of a 5.2 liter

Does the c8 have a race body kit?

jagged sentinel

what

silent oak
#

The c8 ZR1 with all the race canards and spoilers

jagged sentinel
#

They've been racing the C8 since the model's inception, if that's what you're asking

#

The C8 ZR1 has a wing, front splitter and Canards as standard as I understand

#

Frankly a car with that kind of power should come with that stuff

silent oak

I want a corvette as a daily driver

Which one would be good?

Don't expect German levels of over-engineering

Some American cars can be over engineered

jagged sentinel

It's the most competent sports car General Motors has ever made, but it's still far from a space-age car

#

And it's probably the most "Corvette" Corvette ever made imo

silent oak
#

Corvettes are cool asf

#

They have the shark style front end

jagged sentinel
#

I still don't know how I feel about the flatplane crank engines in the Z06 and ZR1 though

silent oak
#

It looks interesting. Didn’t the higher performing corvettes run against Ferraris?

static gale
#

The C5 is the vette I grew up seeing a lot. I found out about the 50th Anniversary Edition from the Corvette PS2 game

jagged sentinel
#

And it's gotten many many accolades along the way

silent oak
#

Which one is faster?

#

Both are high praise performance cars

jagged sentinel
#

Corvettes and Ferraris are in totally different price brackets

silent oak
#

Ferraris are big fuck off money cars

jagged sentinel
#

Let's not act like there haven't been any American cars that get 6-figure expensive

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

Or cost 6 figures in the long run

jagged sentinel
#

But every generation of the GT Corvette racer has been fairly successful

#

Especially the C6 and C7

Do you think corvettes will look like Ferraris in the future ?

jagged sentinel
#

Never been a huge fan of the C5 styling but I don't hate it and my dad almost bought one as a weekend driver

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

Isn’t it based on the 458?

#

Just looking at the body

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

Idk Ferraris

#

I’m not a rich mf

jagged sentinel
#

The flatplane engine in the Z06 was "inspired" by the engineering of the 458 but the body is a Chevy design through and through

#

Including the decision to axe a manual transmission altogether

silent oak
#

I wonder if Chevy took Ferrari designers

jagged sentinel
#

I'd imagine Ferrari engineers and designers are paid too well to jump ship

silent oak
#

Atleast they aren’t German engineers

jagged sentinel
#

The idea of a mid engine Vette has been bouncing around GM floors for decades

silent oak
#

Germans find ways to make engines so complicated

jagged sentinel
#

German engines work brilliantly when they're in great working order, and are reliable when kept there

#

Problem is

#

People have a habit of failing to do that

silent oak
#

People don’t take care of engines

#

Or take it for regular servicing

German engineering in general is good, and expensive

Except when there’s a problem in the engine

They put a sticker on the window that gives a date and a mileage for the earliest ideal time for a servicing

You can probably find a manual on the Internet

I did that and found it

jagged sentinel
#

Noice

silent oak
#

But it was funny my used challenger didn’t come with it

jagged sentinel
#

Fordpass app also has service internals in it as well

silent oak
#

It was a private sale so I guess the owners threw it out and used it as bonfire tinder

#

It was in the south so I guessed that

jagged sentinel
#

Getting rid of the owner's manual under any circumstances is unwise tbh

silent oak
#

Sounds stupid but it was in the south

#

And it was pretty rural

jagged sentinel
#

My 2003 F150 that I drove as a first car had the owner's manual, and it was from Arkansas

#

A farm truck too, no less

#

(a remarkably well taken care of farm truck I might add)

silent oak
#

Do you recommend any trucks for winter?

jagged sentinel
#

Anything with 4WD

silent oak
#

Or for just driving

#

Any years?

jagged sentinel
#

The only trucks I've driven long-term is that 03 F150 I mentioned and a 13 Ram 1500

#

Both had 4WD, Hi and Low, and both were perfectly usable in the snow

I like 90s turbo diesel rams

Then get one, have fun with the cracked dash tho
