VW is only around cuz the mustache man

naive thorn
#

funding and actively making it are different

jagged sentinel
#

The only thing left of VW after the war ended was a single bombed out factory

#

It was a British officer who took the initiative and made efforts to make use of it

silent oak
#

Mr German man wanted VW to be the people’s car

jagged sentinel

#

I like old VW cars

jagged sentinel
#

So if you want someone to blame for the plague of VW, blame the British

jagged sentinel
#

Mercedes, however, was more...shall we say... active in the Riech's regime, and to a lesser extent Audi (previously known as Auto Union) was, too

#

KEKW ok sure, I have 4K cameras surrounding each angle of my car that are active 24/7 and I’d be happy to prove that pedestrian DID NOT have the walk symbol when he illegally jaywalked across the street but please, give me a warning for his stupidity.. lowkey makes me wish I did hit him just a bit hmmm 💀

jagged sentinel
#

And somehow also the same

rich anvil
#

hmmm it’s stupid asf though but he gave me a warning instead of a ticket, if it was a ticket I would 100% be testifying against it in court

jagged sentinel
#

I watched a daftie jaywalk and get clipped in California when I was there

#

(Clipped as in struck non-lethally, not clipped as in killed btw)

silent oak
#

I use iced as a word for killed

#

If you had the right of way, they were legally in the wrong to step onto the road, and (most importantly for your case) you didn't have enough time to stop...

rich anvil
#

I’m following the rules, they are not but yet I’m always punished. Man I love society ❤️ makes me want to go back to what my ancestors did and just live in a fucking bush

jagged sentinel
#

I have learned to always anticipate others to do the wrong thing

#

When possible

rich anvil
jagged sentinel
#

That certainly saved my ass a couple times, like semi trucks blowing through red lights in rural areas

#

With no clear intentions of stopping, whether out of a lack of capability of the truck to stop in time or their own selfishness

#

Some of them at least have the courtesy to blow their horn

rich anvil
#

mf probably saw my car and was liek oooh shit ima give this one a biiigg fine.. thankfully I was picking up my little cousin from school so he wasn’t an asshole like most times KEKW kek

#

He also probably knew I didn’t even do anything wrong but that pedestrian looked super pissed so he flashed his lights, I rolled down my window before the officer got out and gave a giant finger to the pedestrian and yelled FUCK YOU. 😂 💀 my cousin thought it was pretty funny

jagged sentinel
#

He flushed what lights

#

Oh you mean the finger don't you

rich anvil
jagged sentinel
#

That's even more confusing

rich anvil
#

after the pedestrian was mad for their idiocy

jagged sentinel
#

Oh you didn't mention the officer prior

#

I see now

rich anvil
# jagged sentinel That's even more confusing

Pedestrian jaywalked, got mad and started waving his arms, police turned on sirens and made me pull over, as I was rolling down my window waiting for the officer I freaked out at that pedestrian who was jaywalking KEKW

jagged sentinel
#

Yeah I get it now

#

The officer was just the missing piece of the puzzle

rich anvil
#

Mf is lucky that officer waited for me to leave bc I was ready for a fistfight when he was gone 😂 🔥 💀 I probably wouldn’t do that though bc of my cousin..

#

Just because of this incident today, rest assured ima spend a solid hour mowing down NPC pedestrians in GTA later KEKW

you're becoming a brand ambassador and just giving them clout

you support what you buy

regardless of who you buy it from, regardless of whether your money directly flows into tesla

You can improve it by letting it die out

Or setting it on fire for more expedient results

yeah taxes and import fees go hard

lets say import fee is $2,000, you then pay a 20% tax on that, $2,400
as well as the vehicle price, $3,000, 20% on top $3,600

$3,000 turns into $6,000 real quick

Motor and drivetrain?

(this matters)

#

I want a v8

#

And AWD

jagged sentinel
#

You know how I feel about the 5.7

silent oak
#

Yes

#

But if I’m buying mopar might as well get a 5.7 lol

jagged sentinel
#

The V6 Pentastar option is one of the most reliable engines Chrysler has ever made

silent oak
#

I also base my decision on the sound of the engine

jagged sentinel
#

It doesn't sound like a fart can if that's what you're asking

#

It's a fairly smooth sound and not a particularly ugly one, ours is anyway

silent oak
#

Idk my big trucks but what’s the most reliable of the big 3

jagged sentinel
#

Hard for me to say for sure

silent oak
#

I like ram but I’m open

#

Coworker of mine got a Silverado Texas edition

jagged sentinel
#

For first-hand experience I'm confident in sharing, I only have our '13 1500 for reference

#

This is probably a little out of your price range but my roommate's '17 Chevy S. 1500 (LTZ, 6.2 V8, bought at ~70k miles 3 years ago) has had problem after problem

#

As for Ford...

silent oak
jagged sentinel
#

I see more modern trucks than those

#

(I work as a porter/park cars, I think I've mentioned this before)

silent oak
#

Plus rams look appealing

jagged sentinel
#

My dad is a whatever-is-the-best-deal type of guy when it comes to cars, I think you get me there

#

He was able to get a very good deal on his 1500 because our neighbor was too brass at a Chrysler dealership

#

And he liked it as much as he did that, instead of going to Ford where my neighbor is the Co-owner if the dealership I work at to probably get another excellent deal...

#

He went with another ram

silent oak
#

So recommend me?

#

Any make?

jagged sentinel
#

I can only speak with experience for ours

silent oak
#

1500s?

jagged sentinel
#

3.6 V6, big horn, 4WD 1500

silent oak
#

How much torque?

jagged sentinel
#

Enough

silent oak
#

Big enough for usual tasks?

jagged sentinel
#

~270 lb-ft apparently

silent oak
#

Or more then enough for usual

jagged sentinel
#

It can tow our camper trailer well enough

That being said, his new truck pulls said camper like it isn't even therekek

#

Rear fender rust is a very real issue with them, which isn't an uncommon thing for american pickup trucks

silent oak
#

Or just weather / state dependent

jagged sentinel
#

Oils on assembly line techs' hands can cause erosion later on

#

You know the rust that commonly appears around the wheel well on trucks?

silent oak
#

Our shop owned truck has some

jagged sentinel
#

That's usually where the techs grab it, and I guess clean hands isn't exactly strictly enforced

#

(In all fairness I don't think I'd enforce it that much)

silent oak
#

Man I saw some TRXs on a Chrysler lot lol

jagged sentinel
#

There are at least half a dozen raptors dotting my dealership's lots

silent oak
#

Or still very fucking pricy?

The raptors are just crazy expensive now

But a raptor is still expensive lol

#

Do you have any of those Detroit lions F150s down where you are

If you can’t afford a new corvette you can’t afford a used new one

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

I want a corvette after seeing a c8 in person lol

jagged sentinel
#

I like the C8

#

Many purists don't because it doesn't come in a manual and it never will

silent oak
#

Manual has its place in common cars.. not sports cars

jagged sentinel
#

The C8 is GM's first car engineered for and with a Dual Clutch Transmission

#

Making a manual would not only require GM to design an entirely new design because of the position of the engine, but also cut a substantial hole in the transmission tunnel, which reduces structural rigidity, which is something the C8 does very well

silent oak
#

It’s a Ferrari but more reliable

There's a reason there are very very few manual mid engine cars

#

Indeed that is a take

kind osprey
#

Daily is an auto, manual is for your fun road cars

jagged sentinel
#

Manuals belong in enthusiast cars

kind osprey
#

Exactly

jagged sentinel
#

Autos belong in daily cars and cars built for performance above enjoyment

kind osprey
#

Like a Lotus Emira, Porsche 718, s2000, Miata etc

#

Those cars in auto would make no sense

jagged sentinel
kind osprey
#

Except for maybe the gt4 and gt3rs caymans

kind osprey
jagged sentinel
#

Sure

kind osprey
#

Otherwise it's useless

#

If it's not manual it should be instant shifting

jagged sentinel
#

What about the 10R80 in camaros and mustangs

#

Not a dual clutch but still lightning quick

#

Supposedly rather clunky though

jagged sentinel
kind osprey
#

Purpose built track toys and race csrs should definitely just use the quickest available option, which nowadays is never really a manual

#

Back then though autos are pretty much pieces of shit outside of a few exceptions

jagged sentinel
#

Idk if there was an auto in the early 2000s in a regular-person car that wasn't a sludgebox

kind osprey
#

Porsche is a tough choice because they make the most engaging manuals, but they also make the coolest dual clutch

jagged sentinel
#

Porsche is Porsche

#

For better and for worse, but mostly for the better

kind osprey
#

Idk which one to do if I were to get a 911

jagged sentinel
#

I'd prolly just get a GT3

kind osprey
#

Gt3 still has a manual option

#

I meant picking between manual and the pdk

jagged sentinel
#

Being able to tone the intensity down so its driveable on the road is more appealing to me than all the intensity all the time

#

Same deal with A/C, if the AC is an optional extra I'm ticking that box every time regardless of what car it's going in

kind osprey
#

The gts is probably the go to for a middle ground 911

#

Not as sport heavy as a gt3 but still much better than a regular carerra

#

Fully optioned out they are like $180,000-$200,000

jagged sentinel
#

There is the ol' reliable 911 turbo but

kind osprey
#

So they aren't stupid supercar money like a gt3

jagged sentinel
#

Idk if I'm paying anything below 100k on a sports car I'm probably going to just buy something american

The only American cars like that I would want to drive are probably corvette or a viper

#

The previous CEO of dodge (the one behind the Hellcat and everything else cool they made the past decade) is back at the helm

#

And I believe he's done everything but say as much himself that he wants the V8 back

#

Allegedly they may even be testing V8 chargers already

kind osprey
#

Nice

jagged sentinel
#

Bringing back the viper is what they need to get back in the game with force though

#

That'd be a great way to get attention back imo

#

I wouldn't even care if it's a hybrid, just a gigantic V10 and a 6-speed manual pepe_pray

#

Fact is it would probably be easier for dodge if they made it a hybrid

dire shard
#

unless you're desperate for that v8, the rcf is honestly not a great car anyway

#

less of the "japanese muscle car" it's supposed to be, more of a grand tourer that it also fails to be because they tried to make it stupid stiff

#

there's so much competition in the against the rcf that it's just not compelling to get one

#

if you want to go fast you're better off with the g82 or a 911, if you want a v8 you could save more money just getting into the s650
if you're into the interior and grand touring aspect... the lc500 has actually depreciated into rcf range

They are so fun to drive

mental lion
#

They’re the highest quality “cheap” cars

#

Not so cheap

mortal turret
#

cornering on them is amazing handling is great they dont turn like a boat

mental lion
#

Which mazda?

mortal turret
#

mazda 3 GT 2017 is what I drive

#

thay handle really well and im still beating most cars I race

silent oak
#

I drive a challenger rt, not much special there..

mental lion
#

Almost

silent oak
#

Best hot hatch is the Focus RS

mortal turret
#

true

silent oak
#

Dodge back in the 90s made some hatch backs

dire shard
#

mazda interiors are smaller because of the compromises they make to make the car look nice

silent oak
dire shard
#

compared to the competition? not sure about that

#

mazda interiors are universally acclaimed

#

very nice inside compared to whatever you get from comparable honda and hyundai models, for example

silent oak
#

I prefer Lexus

dire shard
#

yeah, let me know when they compete in the same segment

#

even the new camry is starting to look like a lexus inside, which is pretty awesome

silent oak
#

I would drive Lexus if I wasn’t a dodge driver

#

The dodge 2016 plus cars share the same interior

#

It’s cheaper and it’s comfy

#

Aside for digital stuff like logo changes on the screen

dire shard
#

american automobile interiors? 🤔

#

you don't see anything worth sitting in until you get into a cadillac

#

as far as interior quality goes

silent oak
#

The newer ones

dire shard
#

news to me

silent oak
dire shard
#

yeah

silent oak
#

Thats real comfy and spacious

dire shard
#

can't argue with that, it's american

#

material quality and design though, not competitive

silent oak
#

Every dodge model past has similar interior designs when both 4 door and challenger s

silent oak
dire shard
#

good driving cars (they make the miata, after all) with very good interior quality among their segment

silent oak
#

I however driven a cool 70s challenger

dire shard
#

downside is smaller interiors, delicate paint (trade off of the paint being some of the best), and the fact that among japanese manufacturers, mazda is actually a small company meaning innovations and updates take longer (which can be a good thing if you're not into newfangled bullshit like digital gauges, or bad if you're not a fan of them using eight year old transmissions)

silent oak
#

I have a soft spot for analog displays

#

I absolutely enjoy the Porsche 80s 90s style of interior dash gauges, holy shit absolute beauty of a car interior.

dire shard
#

mazdas just do be smaller... not only do they compromise interior space because they're have to move the A pillars back trying to get the roof line to fall into the center of the wheel make the proportions nicer, but their cars are typically just aimed at smaller car segments like the miata two door convertible coupe, like compact sedans, hatchbacks, and suvs

#

but getting into them is not an issue if you're of an ethnicity or culture that doesn't grow tall or wide 😎

silent oak
#

Like laying the seat down to rest

dire shard
#

most do

#

more space is seen as better for most people

silent oak
#

Other coupe models have nicer interiors

dire shard
#

idk, i like a smaller space - especially if i also get a smaller car in the process

#

you feel so much more confidence in your ability to manoeuvre the car being in a short wheelbase car, that is lower and closer to the road
the downside is that people in lifted trucks can't see you -_-

silent oak
#

If I were to have to a smaller ride, I’d be in a Kia stinger lol,

dire shard
#

a stinger isn't that small, but hell yeah the stinger is great

#

it's such a shame they got rid of it... the genesis g70 is exactly the same car underneath though, so it's still an option

#

i think they cost about the same too

silent oak
dire shard
#

yeah, real good looking cars

#

the facelift even more so

#

but i don't like the new kia logo

silent oak
#

The v8 model !!

#

Holy shit

#

I’d buy a stinger, if I wasn’t an owner of a rt challenger

dire shard
#

there's no v8 stinger 🤔 i think you have to get into the g80 to get a v8

silent oak
#

Yo 60k..

mental lion
dire shard
#

personally? i wish they'd just not have it

silent oak
#

I can get a scat pack or a used hellcat for that price range

mental lion
#

That’s a 5inch display

dire shard
#

screens are dumb, the only thing i want on an infotainment is a map

silent oak
#

I can get a stinger for 40k maybe 30k

mental lion
#

Yea i wasn’t talking about the crazy screens

dire shard
#

imagine having laws against using your phone when driving, then gluing a tablet to your dashboard

mental lion
#

Just a normal sized one

#

Mazdas are extra small

silent oak
#

Dodge is mid sized screens

#

Not too big

dire shard
#

i think the mazda screens are fine, purely just because the only thing i need is a map that has a line to follow on it
i don't even need to look at the words on the map bruh

silent oak
#

It’s got two screens, one for the digital odometer and one as an Infotainment

#

And two analog gauges

#

Best of both worlds

dire shard
#

i get that it's the future, but digital instrument displays suck - especially mercedes' design

#

not even integrated into the design of the interior

#

just, a tablet behind the wheel and a tablet in the center

mental lion
silent oak
#

Like wtf is this

#

I like seats but the digital gauges is ugly

dire shard
#

goodness, i saw one yesterday
it's a good looking car but you can really obviously tell that the engine sounds are fake

silent oak
#

When a hemi model comes out, maybe

#

I’d maybe trade in if they made a hemi

dire shard
#

you shouldn't

#

not until they actually design the car to fit that engine

#

the car is already as heavy as a challenger

silent oak
#

I’d absolutely love for a hemi version, 6.2 or 5.7

mental lion
silent oak
#

Note the charger is fucking huge

mental lion
#

True muscle car

#

Talking about size ofc

#

Someone needs to put the 6.2 on it

silent oak
#

And longer

#

It weighs 5k lbs

#

Holy shit

#

About as much as an Escalade

dire shard
#

it doesn't weigh 5k

#

it weighs 5.8k

#

that's basically 6k

#

💀

silent oak
#

Bigger then an Escalade

#

Fuck me

dire shard
#

most of it is the batteries, but the chassis is also inherently heavy

silent oak
dire shard
#

the platform is designed for both EV and ICE purposes (which is you have a trans tunnel in the EV even though you have no trans), and dual purposes like that always means added weight

dire shard
#

hemi is not confirmed for chargers yet afaik, it's only confirmed that they're not stopping its production

silent oak
#

If Stellantis new ceo has good plans

#

This ceo was responsible for the hellcat lineup

dire shard
#

if homie knows what's good for him he comes out with a new viper 🔫

silent oak
#

Exactly!

#

I want a viper on the side

#

If I had a viper I’d daily her

#

Something somewhat resembling a gas mileage

dire shard
#

out of a viper?

#

you getting gallons per mile at that point

silent oak
#

I’d impress the guys at work lol

#

All it is, aura farming

#

Aura per mile lol

dire shard
#

the cost of 200k auras on your odometer is like, oil changes at 3k and changing ten sparkplugs

#

guess it's not that much different than a v8

silent oak
#

Aura outweighs the financial burden of a daily v10

dire shard
#

as long as you also recognize negative equity equates to negative aura

silent oak
#

And you gotta excuse yourself somehow

Ofc there

silent oak

Like 5 maybe

dire shard
#

one of those cars that i've never seen around

mental lion
#

Then who’s causing it to appreciate

dire shard
#

its own lack of supply 😎

silent oak
#

The lack of supply = rare ownership

mental lion
#

Well the demand wasn’t there when it came out

silent oak
#

Last viper sold was back in 2017

mental lion
#

Infact demand wasn’t there for a lot of cool cars

#

Including the cgt

silent oak
dire shard
#

oh godddddd it was discontinued in 2017 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

technically, new ones too, but they have tc which helps a lot

silent oak

this is why we have front engined cars

touch the throttle wrong and you'll do a 360 in a straight line
brake wrong during a corner and induce lift off oversteer and you're meeting a tree

that was an LFG channel, which are separated by platform role

use #assign-platform-here to choose the correct console you play on, and then go to the vehicle-lfg channel for that platform
