[mental lion]

Like that 4m 599

[kind osprey]

It's not because it is yellow it's because it is some special edition that was only made in yellow

[urban pond]

oh they even got an SLR Mclaren on their website

[kind osprey]

That sounds more like Manhattan Motorcars

[urban pond]

tbh its all bullshit anyways tho

its all "artificial Scarcity"

[mental lion]

Yeah i know

[urban pond]

pretty much every Japanese brand does a "Yellow edition" when they know damn well they should just sell it as a factory colour

wrong channel bud

[kind osprey]

The hyper cars are money laundering, and the regular consumer cars are just people with too my disposal cash overpaying for a car for either sentimental value or as an investment

That car for 160k is stupid but some nuts buy them

[mental lion]

That’s not always the case but yeah some of the hypercars are going for triple their value just because of a color

[urban pond]

they'll shit talk the new Mk5 Supra for having the B58 but think a 30 year old Mk4 is worth the 70k+

[mental lion]

Like the orange 918 for 6m

[mental lion]

I don’t get the mk5 hate

[kind osprey]

That whole auction was a joke

[mental lion]

You’re mad because your car got bmw quality and toyota reliability

[kind osprey]

If you need an economic theory behind how we are in a bubble and money isn't real, that auction is a perfect source

[urban pond]

The MK5 is probably the best car to come from a Japanese brand in like 10 years ngl

at least thats what i'd argue

[kind osprey]

The only car that went for less than I thought it would at an auction recently was the Ferrari 250 gto

[mental lion]

David lee bought a 250 gto for almost 40 mil and ppl are downplaying it because it didn’t reach record price

[kind osprey]

It sold for only $35m 38 with fees and whatnot it could've been a 50mil car easy

[mental lion]

40mil on a freaking car

[kind osprey]

On the car

[urban pond]

the issue is that its a lot of money for nothing

[kind osprey]

That is the Da Vinci of collections

[urban pond]

its a car that wont be driven so it doesn't matter really

[kind osprey]

Older cars always go for ridiculous prices

Because they can never be replicated

[mental lion]

I prefer a 33 stradale which is a 20 mil car

The 250 gto is overrated for me

Im out here saying I prefer a 20mil car over a 70

Lmao

[kind osprey]

250 is Ferraris most successful and an extremely long running series, it founded Ferrari to be what it is in Motorsport, the 250 gto and gto lm are the best of that bunch made

It makes sense that it would be one of the most coveted cars on earth

The 33 stradale is one of my favorite cars in terms of design, but at the end of the day it is a priceless prototype more than an actual production vehicle

I have been awake for too long, I’m in major violation of dot regulations, my truck needs fuel filters replaced and my trailer won’t build heat (have a freeze protect load) I need a freaking nap.

[fleet owl]

Why does it sound like there's a Chewbacca in only one of my exhaust pipes

[static gale]

What does the other one sound like?

[fleet owl]

Like an exhaust

normal, barely any sound in comparison

Only happens when first start of the day I think it might be condensation being pushed out or sum

Or my car is about to explode

[loud spade]

did you make sure the exhaust isn't uh, disconnected?

[fleet owl]

sounds connected tbh cause the noise is coming out of it

[steady cove]

Theres a hole somewhere

Sounds exactly like it

[fleet owl]

i will need to investigate

but idk why it happens only when cold

Detroit is iconic too for cars I presume

[jagged sentinel]

It's considered the automotive capital of the world

All the major consumer brands were here, from Detroit and abroad

Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, Alfa, etcetera

Plus some brands I didn't expect like Ferrari, Aston Martin, fucking Pininfarina and Pagani

Yes because I’d probably get arrested for drug trafficking based solely on the fact my car is painted in metallic gold

Honestly the biggest red flag is cheap luxury cars

There’s a reason an S5 is sub 10k and it’s definitely a better option to burn your money

nah, that was definitely your fault not the other driver. You show this to your insurance company and you will be the one cutting a check

Can literally see him driving straight, meanwhile your cutting into his lane but that’s their fault?

Idek but bro should not be driving at all

[silent oak]

Who have mf a license lmao

Is this Cali where they hand them out to barely passable people

Yeah no that's totally on him

There's a reason trucks aren't wider than they are and he may have forgotten that

He got it at the dealer

Those are expensive to own and a chore to park

[silent oak]

He’s not rich rich YouTuber but he joked “more debt!” After buying

[jagged sentinel]

Don't get a dually unless you need a dually

I like trucks but a dually is too much

[silent oak]

He needs one cuz he lives on a ranch

He bought a huge ranch

Do you watch Official duck studios ?

wtf did u do lol

[rich anvil]

I crashed the car

Stupid fucking winter driving

[rich anvil]

if you had any idea how much those companies overcharge for vehicle maintenance you’d know why

An oil change on AMG Mercedes GLC 43 costs about $3,000-6,000

Some companies are not like that though, it’s mainly just “luxury” car companies that do that

[silent oak]

That’s a lot of drinks at club right there

[rich anvil]

Fr

I could buy new car

Potentially

[silent oak]

I know SRT is like 130 -200 for an oil change

I can afford that

[west robin]

Hello guys!

[kind osprey]

If a stealership told me it would cost even $2000 to do an oil change for a $75,000 car at most, I'd flip them off knock over the nearest trash bin and drive tf out of that lot immediately

No oil change should even be 4 figures unless it is a full blown supercar or technical expensive exception like heavy machinery

Like what are these techs making $1500 an hour?

[mental lion]

Idk where he got them numbers but i don’t think it will cost more than few hundred $ on any merc out there for an oil change. However they do overcharge on parts

[kind osprey]

Yea for a $75000-$100,000 luxury suv it's probably at most $350

[kind osprey]

Holy ball

What a cool find

Where is that

[proven thistle]

Passed a flatbed with 3 Sherpa search and rescues. Near council bluffs Iowa

National guard??

[silent oak]

Did a bit of research, apparently it would be $222 to $272

[jagged sentinel]

[urban pond]

It’s because people who buy these cars don’t do their own oil changes so they’ll charge anything

[jagged sentinel]

I know that over-charging is a thing but 3-6k for an oil change on a Benz is nonsensical

[urban pond]

That’s how it is unfortunately it’s just artificial inflation

The auto industry loves to make things artificially inflated or scarce

[jagged sentinel]

No I think it's a bullshit claim

3-6K is million-dollar-car territory

[urban pond]

Hence why I said artificial inflation

[jagged sentinel]

"Artificial inflation" or exaggeration?

[urban pond]

Both I suppose

The price is artificially inflated because it’s a luxury brand

[jagged sentinel]

One implies that they are actually charged that much, the other says the person claiming it is exaggerating the number to be higher than it actually is

[urban pond]

So inflation then

[jagged sentinel]

I don't think they're charging or being charged that much, so I don't think it's an inflation thing in this case

[urban pond]

The prices are inflated because they’re services for “luxury goods” when you could probably do your oil change yourself or at a lube shop for less than 10 percent of the price

[jagged sentinel]

That's just exaggeration

[urban pond]

They probably are being charged a shit ton for an oil change tho

[jagged sentinel]

Not 3-6k though

[kind osprey]

But it's not

Not even a Lamborghini Aventador is a $3000 oil change

Let alone a common traffic amg suv

Idk where this 3k-6k number got pulled out of somebody's ass 😭

[urban pond]

I was just going off of what someone else said but regardless of you get swindled 4 digits for an oil change you almost deserve it

[molten nebula]

It's not the bike that's bad it is the people on the bike

"Professional" cyclists are usually miserable cunts

They take up two lanes of a road for zero reason and never pull over fir a car simply wanting to do the speed limit and not be behind his ass going 15mph

@jaunty kestrel

[jaunty kestrel]

nice

my mom is a captain she went to dallas flight school

i get to be in the cockpit often too

[mystic ocean]

captain for what

[jaunty kestrel]

like the rank

[mystic ocean]

yeah

but

like for who

[jaunty kestrel]

in the airline i mean

[mystic ocean]

bc the one i wanna go for rn is alaska

i even have some clips from the sim

[jaunty kestrel]

how did u get them lol

[mystic ocean]

replay tools

let me find some

[jaunty kestrel]

so u use these for training or just for fun

[mystic ocean]

just for fun rn

ive been using sims for years

[jaunty kestrel]

did u find what flight school ur going to

[mystic ocean]

im still looking at my options. i have one in mind not far from my house

a buddy goes there and he suggested it to me

[jaunty kestrel]

nice so u got a friend there at least

[mystic ocean]

yeah

and then i got the entire setup too

[jaunty kestrel]

wow sick

so you got a pc

[mystic ocean]

yeah

i have gta too but its not installed

[jaunty kestrel]

so u just play microsoft flight sim

[mystic ocean]

some xplane as well, most of my games are on ps5

i also do have xplane

for planes that arent in msfs

[jaunty kestrel]

arent there flight games on ps5 tho

[mystic ocean]

undisputed is either on ps5 or coming to ps5

and then theres ufc 5

[jaunty kestrel]

i said flight games not fight games lmao

[mystic ocean]

ohh

mb

[jaunty kestrel]

like planes

[mystic ocean]

read that too quickly

yeah theres msfs 2024 on ps5 actually

[jaunty kestrel]

is there a new 1 every year or what

[mystic ocean]

it depends

it went from

fsx in 2010

to msfs 2020

then msfs 2024

[jaunty kestrel]

why are the ratings shit tho

[mystic ocean]

for what

2024?

[jaunty kestrel]

yeah

[mystic ocean]

steam or ps5

[jaunty kestrel]

on steam

[mystic ocean]

oh

ok so

when it first came out, the sim had too many bugs

and most went unresolved for months

and with sim update 4 a lot of issues have been fixed

[jaunty kestrel]

so its all good now

[mystic ocean]

for the most part yeah

also i should add

thats also why i stayed in msfs 2020 for a while

a long while

like

have you heard of the term wasm crashes

[jaunty kestrel]

nope

[mystic ocean]

a wasm crash is basically

when the planes systems freeze

but the sim still runs

so essentially the plane is stuck

the pfd could say you are at 260 knots at 4000 feet banking left but in reality you are at 35000 at 260 going straight

as well as no buttons working at all

[jaunty kestrel]

sounds like a cpu issue

[mystic ocean]

wasm crashes were one of the most common issues with msfs 2024

[mystic ocean]

not at all surprisingly, even people with the best pcs went through it

[mystic ocean]

and the only fix is restarting the sim

there was a handful of issues the sim had which made it unplayable unless you had a super good pc

even people with a 4090 could hardly maintain 40 fps

and eventuallt the sim became optimized

[jaunty kestrel]

ok but how different is the msfs 2024 from the 2020 one

[mystic ocean]

one thing, the biggest imo

is the download size

2020 was around 170gb and i believe 2024 was 20?

[jaunty kestrel]

damn big boy

[mystic ocean]

but its also worth mentioning

in 2024, everything is streamed

as in terrain and shit

[jaunty kestrel]

what do u mean by streamed

[mystic ocean]

like

fuck idk how to explain it

[jaunty kestrel]

na it’s ok

[mystic ocean]

you also need

a stable internet connection

because in 2020 you can run the sim without wifi

but in 2024 if you lose wifi mid flight the sim will pause

[jaunty kestrel]

yea bc they upload the terrains and shit directly from satellites right

[mystic ocean]

yeahhh

there

[jaunty kestrel]

just like google earth

that’s y they say you need a decent cpu to run the game

[mystic ocean]

yeah

it was also like

how do i say

when 2024 first came out it relied way too much on a cpu

so over time it was balanced

[jaunty kestrel]

so i heard

so it’s good now

[mystic ocean]

yeah

id say its good

my pc has a 5060ti and a 5800x and it runs well

with frame gen i can maintain around 90-100 fps

[jaunty kestrel]

wait are u on am4

[mystic ocean]

yeah

i wanna do am5 but its too expensive

[jaunty kestrel]

yeah bad timing for am5 rn

unless money isn’t an issue

[mystic ocean]

yeah

[jaunty kestrel]

ram costs are bananas

[mystic ocean]

its too much

also something to know

if flight simming is something you end up considering

the good planes are expensive

[jaunty kestrel]

expensive in what

[mystic ocean]

like in general

you have to buy planes

and its incredibly expensive

[jaunty kestrel]

with money

[mystic ocean]

yeah

well not incredibly

[jaunty kestrel]

why tho

[mystic ocean]

for the amount of detail you get its worth it

because for those planes

its as close as it can be to the real life version

like rn im flying the 737-800

one of the most detailed planes in the sim

[jaunty kestrel]

so the commands are the same as a real plane

[mystic ocean]

i got it for 30 bucks because i got the msfs 2020 version too

but without discounts its 74.99 i think

[mystic ocean]

almost exactly yeah

like

ill be landing ts soon if you wanna pull up and check it out

[mystic ocean]

it also depends on which you get. for example some planes have almost no working switches

[jaunty kestrel]

sure

[mystic ocean]

alr uh

go to the community 1 vc

cant turn my mic on but ill stream the sim

[jaunty kestrel]

oh shit u mean on vc

[mystic ocean]

yeah

[jaunty kestrel]

can’t rn sorry i’m on mobile

[mystic ocean]

oh ur all good

[jaunty kestrel]

can u just send the vid

[mystic ocean]

yeah sure

ill screen record the landing

[jaunty kestrel]

alr

[mystic ocean]

@jaunty kestrel

[jaunty kestrel]

is that a good score

[mystic ocean]

ts is the flight tracker

it says we got 6 mins left

[jaunty kestrel]

can you speak with the tower

[mystic ocean]

yeah

but it depends

if wherever you want to go has people online

[jaunty kestrel]

so players can control the towers

[mystic ocean]

@jaunty kestrel

[mystic ocean]

yeah but the process takes very long

you have to take classes and shit

and theres a waitlist over a year long last time i checked

[kind osprey]

It's the Alaska guy!

[mystic ocean]

yes! my absolute favorite

[mystic ocean]

im gonna go from sea to las on this plane later today

[jaunty kestrel]

looks good

[mystic ocean]

do we like it

i didnt fly that just now btw i flew american

[jaunty kestrel]

yeah looks so clean

[mystic ocean]

in that plane you can open the bins on top, open every door, use the window shades, open the tray tables

everything

[jaunty kestrel]

thats sick i need to see what it looks like

[dire shard]

now fly igs runway 13 into kai tak

[mystic ocean]

[old sedge]

I’m still wondering if BMW Z4 sDrive20i is still worth its price or just add a little more for Toyota Supra

The Z4 sDrive20i’s hp is only 197hp

It’s different from sDrive30i which we doesn’t exist in our market

[silent oak]

Idk much bout th bmw z4 but the Supra has the edge in looks

I much prefer the new Supra

[old sedge]

I think both are fine in looks

But the Z4 would be worse at track performance because of the added weight by convertible roof and the convertible roof is just another mechanism which can fail

Supra has no 2.0L engine here

While Z4 has better interior design and it’s BMW which adds to the flex factor

[old sedge]

The Z4 2.0L engine with only 197hp which is the sDrive20i, is more expensive than Nissan Z and Toyota GR Corolla here as well as Ford Mustang

[silent oak]

I’m into muscle cars baby

The most I’d say is love to see is a v8 hemi in the Supra

[urban pond]

never understood the point of the 2L Supra trim

[old sedge]

More affordable ig

[urban pond]

at that point just get the GR86

[silent oak]

It’s the poverty spec Supra

[old sedge]

What I don’t understand is the Z4’s 2.0 engine having sub 200hp

[urban pond]

Z4/Supra both share equal amount of engines im pretty sure so you can also get a really low powered supra

[silent oak]

It’s like buying a Ferrari but getting the smallest displacement engine

[urban pond]

eh thats a bad comparison

[silent oak]

It’s a Supra it’s iconic

Atleast to the car enthusiasts

(Not jdm kids)

[old sedge]

Afaik, the Supra’s 2.0 engine has 255hp. Idk if it has a 197hp variant

[urban pond]

they do in certain countries

like i think the most baseline supra in Japan is the sub 200hp variant

[old sedge]

I see. I’d rather get the Nissan Z over that, but that’s just me

[urban pond]

its the SZ Trim in Japan with the 197

[silent oak]

Idk my supras

[urban pond]

i know my Japanese cars fairly well its just NA only has the two engine options

[silent oak]

That’s why my American car knowledge is better

[urban pond]

but regardless i think the GR86 is the more enjoyable car out of the 2 options though

[silent oak]

But the gr86 didn’t sell well

[urban pond]

?

it absolutely did'

for a sports car in 2020s it sold incredibly well

[silent oak]

I could fit in it

I’m tiny

[old sedge]

Then you’ll love Mustang. It is very reliable, right?

[silent oak]

Mustang Yess!!

Well reliable if you know how to home fix basic stuff

[old sedge]

I think Mustang would be better if they replace the 5.0 V8 NA engine with just a twin-turbocharged version of the 2.3L I4 Ecoboost engine

[urban pond]

why though?

[silent oak]

Why.. the 5.0 is the standard Mustang engine

[urban pond]

the regular Turbo 2.3L Ecoboost is already good enough

[silent oak]

It’s iconic

[urban pond]

its not the best mustang engine obviously but if you separate that its a genuinely good engine

the real issue is Ford sitting on the TT V6 Ecoboost from the Escape ST

[silent oak]

Oh don’t buy a Mustang for reliability it’s cool as a car

I’d rather a cool car than a reliable one

[urban pond]

any car can be reliable as long as basic maintenance is performance on a fairly decent schedule

[silent oak]

Except for super cars

They are the exception

[urban pond]

but the 2.3L is fairly reliable

[silent oak]

5.0 sounds cooler imo

[urban pond]

no shit lmao

[silent oak]

I do like the 5.0 coyote as a dodge car enjoyer

Dodges poverty spec motor the v6 pentastar

It’s good reliable

[urban pond]

if Dodge made something other than the Challenger/Charger i'd be more interested in the brand

[silent oak]

Challenger is gone

Fucking Carlos took it away

[urban pond]

even then while the Challenger and Charger were in its modern prime Dodge didnt really have a whole lot going for it compared to some of its competitors

[silent oak]

Dodge made vipers until 2018

[urban pond]

how many vipers were sold though?

[silent oak]

30k units between 92 to2017

It’s an unforgiving sports car

[old sedge]

Because big NA engines are outdated. The trend nowadays is small, turbo engines

[silent oak]

That’s why want to own one

I love a v10

[urban pond]

im more referring to the third gens only tho

or final gens

[old sedge]

There should be even a Mustang with 1.5L I3 twin-turbocharged engine

[silent oak]

8k units

Smaller batch

Idk

[urban pond]

i think Dodge missed the opportunity to make something interesting that wasnt a massive engine

[old sedge]

I’m quite sad that I was unable to test drive a Mustang Mach-E because they were charging it which takes more than 5 hours

[old sedge]

Like remaking Dodge Viper into an electric crossover?

[silent oak]

It’s not their brand image ..

Remember dodge is known for big motors

[urban pond]

and look at them now lmao

[silent oak]

Fords still making f150s

With big v8s

[urban pond]

but their Raptor doesnt even come standard with a V8 in it tho

[old sedge]

Isn’t that what famous US car brands do?

[silent oak]

Mostly

I’m a muscle car fan

I prefer bigger motor

[urban pond]

i wouldn't say up until recently tho

[tacit dew]

V10 pickup truck str10

[silent oak]

I wanted a ram for a while

Yeh newer 1500s look appealing

[urban pond]

Ford GT was a smaller V6, Raptor comes with a V6. Ford swapped out the V6 Eco boosts for the Inline 4s

[old sedge]

Should’ve equipped it with 1.3L I3 twin-turbo engine though

[silent oak]

I could afford one if I didn’t buy hellcat

[urban pond]

i thought it was just an RT

[silent oak]

I still want a hellkityy

[silent oak]

My rt is still in my possession.. I was thinking to trade in

For a ram or hellcat if there’s any at the lot

[urban pond]

but you bought a hellcat now?

[silent oak]

No, I would trade in

I want one

[tacit dew]

Raptor R exists

[urban pond]

then why'd you say you could afford one if you didnt buy a hellcat

[tacit dew]

Supercharged Coyote

[urban pond]

Raptor R exists yes

but its not Standard

[tacit dew]

Well no

[urban pond]

thats like a 40k Truck package

[silent oak]

I can, I want the older ones cuz I save

[tacit dew]

I cant with modern cars

Newest id own is a 2010

[old sedge]

An FB video I watched said that MB is more reliable than BMW

Is it true?

[silent oak]

I’ve seen a newer ram 1500

I want that

[urban pond]

i wouldn't know we dont really have MBs here

[tacit dew]

No

[old sedge]

It was a comparison between 2 famous luxurious German car brands

[urban pond]

nah dont be a ram driver tho

[silent oak]

It has cowboy hat holder

I’m sold

[urban pond]

they're genuinely the worst people on the road and for good reason

too many dipshits too buying massive trucks they dont need

[tacit dew]

MB over the last 10yrs has been making sub par BS as BMW has been thriving as all the kids love em. I see a lot of M cars and G80s and the base model G80 wannabes all over and im not even in a rich area

[tacit dew]

Facts, especially where im from. Bros got a 6inch lift to go to Walmart and back.

[urban pond]

literally

[old sedge]

I guess that’s why some commented in the FB video that the uploader is having a beef with BMW

[silent oak]

I want the dude 1500 ram

[tacit dew]

Granted I do get a foot of snow or more sometimes but that why you get a cheap fuel efficient daily

[urban pond]

i almost got smoked by a Ram a while back because he ran the red when i was about to make a left turn

[old sedge]

Honestly, if people want reliable luxurious car brands without spending too much money, then they should just buy a Jaguar

[urban pond]

must have mistaken me for his sister when he almost plowed me

[tacit dew]

Ford motors IIRC

[silent oak]

The crown Vic’s too they are nice

[tacit dew]

They were nice, whatever garbage replaced em has been worse then them since they replaced em

[old sedge]

Anyway, I feel like Benz has been too bland for luxury brand. I prefer BMW too

[urban pond]

new M2s are awesome cars

[tacit dew]

Crown vic was best U.S EMS vehicle from the day they started making em into this imo

[silent oak]

The dodge charger police pursuit is also nice

[urban pond]

nah best US EMS vehicle is whatever fuckin Georgia Highway Patrol has in their fleet

[tacit dew]

I dont like luxury cars as I dont like 80k for the performance of a 5k car with 6k in mods

[silent oak]

The rarer pursuit model with a v8 and AWD

2016

[tacit dew]

They do impound stolen hellcats and repurpose them a lot nowadays

[old sedge]

I only want BMW for performance cars

[urban pond]

cars like that dont exist anymore lmao

[tacit dew]

U wrong lol

[silent oak]

I’m not gonna sell my Dodge for less a 4 cylinder

[tacit dew]

Gotta no where to look and who to talkt to but def still exist

[tacit dew]

What?

[silent oak]

I want to upgrade my challenger rt

[tacit dew]

But why

[urban pond]

i wanna see proof of a 5k car with 6k in mods making anywhere near the average M Cars performance

[tacit dew]

5.7? Or 6.2?

[silent oak]

You seen the pretty new ram1500s?

They are nice

[tacit dew]

Nah, Dodge stopped being cool in 2008 imo

Hellcats are nice

Scatoacks and such too

[urban pond]

dont get a Truck if you aren't going to do Truck things tho

[tacit dew]

But price vs performance nah

[silent oak]

Eh they still produced the viper in 2017

Sold in 2018

[urban pond]

cause they just sat on lots lmao

[silent oak]

I’d buy one if I had an open check

[tacit dew]

My dad had a 2017(3 yrs old at time) ram 2500 with the 6.7 Cummins. Loved it a lot but sold it due to fuel prices and not using it as a truck enough

Diesel truck > v8 truck

[silent oak]

I’d rather cry in a viper than a fucking Camry

[tacit dew]

Gwn 5 viper yeah but they hardly sold, such a gorgeous car tho

[silent oak]

The viper will also burn your leg soo

I do

[tacit dew]

I want a gen 3 gts-R viper

[urban pond]

honestly its hard to like cars like the Viper nowadays

[silent oak]

The last gen viper looked so badass

[tacit dew]

Nothing like the viper exists nowadays

[urban pond]

im more refering to the overal type of car in general

[tacit dew]

Closest is like a v10 lambo

[silent oak]

Pictures don’t do it justice

[tacit dew]

Same

[urban pond]

the type that are cool to see and drive but to actual own would somewhat suck

[tacit dew]

Big viper wing is a no for me

[urban pond]

its the entire reason i like the lower Trim Porsches more than the top trims

[silent oak]

I love that they were mostly manual

No pussy shit

[tacit dew]

Almost every lambo? Besides urus

[urban pond]

its really just more of the uncomfortable road legal race car type

[tacit dew]

Yeahh all these barely road legal race cars have pattle shifters lmao

[urban pond]

Viper is cool but i sure as shit wouldnt want to drive one if they're uncomfortable

[tacit dew]

And are mostly AUTOMATICC

[silent oak]

I’d prefer to own a first gen viper

[tacit dew]

They have bucket seats, as comfy as any race car can be tbh

[silent oak]

Than I can take myself out the most fun way

[urban pond]

like a GT3RS is a really cool car but a road trip in those bucket seats? no fucking thank you

[tacit dew]

Lmaoo

[silent oak]

I want a 92 dodge viper

[urban pond]

like i'd take a 4.0 GTS over the GT4RS

and theres an entire reason why people trade in their M cars because they got the bucket performance seats and low and behold Bucket Seats genuinely suck in normal applications

[tacit dew]

Any dodge it'd have to be an 88 dual cab long bed d350 with a 12V cummins slammed on its nuts or a 69 burnt copper colored charger with the 440 BB and 4spd

[tacit dew]

Seems to be a popular option somewhat

[urban pond]

not even price point its just overall car

[tacit dew]

Ppl also doing the half conversions. Giving sum RS aero to a regular gts

[silent oak]

The idea dodge viper

[tacit dew]

I like the not RS cars. Too like the 993

[urban pond]

its really the idea of owning vs actually owning

[silent oak]

Exposed exhaust that will burn your ankles

[tacit dew]

And ppl hate the old egg headlight 993

[urban pond]

i'd rather a comfortable car thats fast enough than Super car that i hate sitting in

[tacit dew]

I want an 82 GT2 as my dream Porsche

[silent oak]

They kept the snake motif In every dodge viper

The front looks like a viper

[tacit dew]

90% of what I like is pre 1995 but im a 2000s kid lol
I like 80s music, I like 60-90s cars, a good bit of 2000s cars but not as much. Cars are just cool lol.

80s cars are soo sick imo

[old sedge]

The Viper is beautiful, but it sucks that it doesn’t have AT or DCT

Stick-shift MT is obsolete now

[silent oak]

Atleast they kept what the driving experience is tho

Got to respect that

It’s not a car that handholds

[urban pond]

really depends on the car

BRZ, GR Corolla/Yaris, Integra A Spec are all just better as Manuals

[tacit dew]

Not obsolete at all, just not what ppl wanted. Back in the 50s and 60s people wanted autos and all they offered were manual cars

[tacit dew]

GR yards only good new 2022+ Toyota imo

[urban pond]

nah

[tacit dew]

The 3cyl turbo hatch that sounds like a small rally car?

[urban pond]

GR86 is genuinely a good car and im not even being biased. the Supra is great. New Toyota Trucks are cool. New Prius looks good too

[silent oak]

I could never drive a Prius with the image that a Prius driver gives me

[urban pond]

you want to buy a ram that isnt much better

[silent oak]

I saw one irl

They are cool truck

They have cowboy hat holders

[urban pond]

they're not bad trucks

its just its the clientele of people buying trucks they dont need

and shit drivers

[silent oak]

I do live in the snowy black hills area

I need

[urban pond]

what do you need to tow/haul

[silent oak]

Truck cuz truck cool

[urban pond]

if the answer is Nothing then you dont need a ram

[silent oak]

1500 is a usual truck

[urban pond]

its the equivalent of buying a Sports car but never actually driving it like one

[silent oak]

The 1500 is pretty nice

[urban pond]

they're nice if you actually doing truck things

[silent oak]

Like sitting in the back and throwing old engine parts in it?

[urban pond]

sitting in the back isnt a truck thing

[old sedge]

Ram is totally unnecessary here in PH, it’s cool though

In cramped streets, driving a RAM will be difficult

[silent oak]

Does nick know I live in the upper Midwest ?

The most bipolar part in the black hills

[old sedge]

Idk

[urban pond]

okay i live in Northern Ontario

i still dont need a Ram 1500

[silent oak]

We get freak snow- freak cold freak hot

[old sedge]

But a street near me, even a Tacoma will be very difficult to maneuver

[urban pond]

A tacoma is genuinely a better choice if you want a Truck to have a Truck

[old sedge]

Or a Ranger

[silent oak]

Eh too smoll for me

I need bigger car as I’m short

[urban pond]

then how is a Ranger too small?

[silent oak]

Dodge challengers fit me well

I can even wear a cowboy hat in one

[old sedge]

Well, many streets here are narrow that a Ranger will be highly difficult to maneuver let alone Ram and F150

[urban pond]

the only way a Ranger is too small is if you're "american sized"

or like 6 foot 8

[old sedge]

Filipinos are midgets according to Western standards, so it’s good

[silent oak]

I’m 5’3 1/2

[old sedge]

And as a Filipino myself, I can confirm

[silent oak]

The Dodge fits me small as it’s small car

[old sedge]

Which is why Cebu Pacific Airlines have legroom which will probably make even RyanAir’s legroom look big

Their seat layout is designed for Filipino people

[urban pond]

only way i'd buy a Dodge is if they brought back the Dakota

[silent oak]

You mean the dwarf car

[old sedge]

I just want a performance car like Z or Supra/Z4 at least. Mustang is good too. I’m not into big vehicles like pickups and SUV.

[urban pond]

i mean the truck that you can actually see the people you would have hit lmao

Modern Trucks have garbage visibility

[silent oak]

Than why they in da road?

[urban pond]

crosswalks exist i've seen far too many Trucks ignore Pedestrian right of way

[silent oak]

Tesla

They ignore every single aspect of driver safety cuz the car is a nanny car

[old sedge]

Wait. Why do you need a Ram when you can buy a Range Rover?

[urban pond]

Shit vs Poop

[silent oak]

I don’t have a huge ego

[urban pond]

but again you want a Ram?

[old sedge]

It’s not to feed your ego, it’s to keep your maintenance spendings low

[urban pond]

you cant say you dont have a huge Ego while telling us how much you want to buy an oversized truck to not do truck things in

[silent oak]

Ah asking muscle car drivers about maintenance haha

[old sedge]

Range Rover has low maintenance cost and it’s reliable too

[silent oak]

In South Africa?

[urban pond]

Reliability so known that its maintenance is essentially a revolving glass door

in the shop out the shop Repeat till sold

[kind osprey]

This is why I bought an svr autobiography edition instead of a Toyota Camry

[jagged sentinel]

Me when I don't know maintenance costs of range rovers

Or reliability scores or insurance lmao

[static gale]

@jagged sentinel A little context reminder

Oh nvm, you prob remember, yourself

[urban pond]

I’d take the 2012 528I

[kind osprey]

Unrealistic, a v10 m5 with 120k miles wouldn't even turn on by now

😂

[jagged sentinel]

I did kinda forget about that kek

[stoic haven]

Yonks

[jagged sentinel]

[onyx rivet]

probably the 2012 550i

[kind osprey]

https://youtube.com/shorts/aS8FGC82NUI?si=ZQ1mS_D4P6DcK48E

I love this video

[mental lion]

Why did they even make this car

No one goes shopping for electric crossover at lotus

[kind osprey]

Chinese market maybe

they like ugly ev's

[urban pond]

They kind of had to

With a lot of countries making stupid rules to keep cars more environmentally friendly

[silent oak]

I want a car that’s pre 70s so I don’t have to care about emissions

[urban pond]

It entirely depends what your state laws are though

[silent oak]

My state is relatively chill, as long as it’s registered

We don’t have state required inspection

[urban pond]

Canada doesn’t do smog checks anymore apparently

[silent oak]

So even the most rusted pos can be registered

[urban pond]

Registered yes. Road worthy no

You won’t get actual plates

The only way you can get plates for a registered vehicle here. Is if you have insurance.

At that point you get temporary plates. Until you pass a safety inspection

[silent oak]

My state has no mandatory inspection

None

[urban pond]

Here you can just get a one and done

Like if you got you certified plates you don’t have to do it again

The only time a safety inspection certification is required is when the vehicle changes hands

[silent oak]

Now I need a beat to shit 70s challenger lmao

[urban pond]

At this point I don’t really want an older shitbox anymore

Before I wanted like a project car but nowadays I don’t want a hassle

[silent oak]

Your asking the delinquent mechanic

Everything is a problem

[urban pond]

Eh it’s more just future wise id rather not spend like 8-12 hours fixing shit then spending my weekends fixing more shit

[silent oak]

Idk beats laying in bed all day

[urban pond]

I usually do other stuff. But it’s just I wouldn’t entirely want to spend every weekend doing it

[silent oak]

Eh bed is warm so I stay

[old sedge]

EU canceled its 2030 combustion engine ban at least

[silent oak]

Good

Calis gas car ban stopped, the millege tax was stopped

[mental lion]

It’s mostly owned by some Chinese company makes sense now. But at the same time don’t they have like gazillion models of this segment

[silent oak]

So it’s a shell company for China?

If lotus is, I’ve lost respect due to..

[cyan shale]

I took a sanction latelly in a bus

[mental lion]

Pretty much yeah

The emira is the last authentic lotus experience

Hmm happy we still have a few independent companies left

[old sedge]

How would y'all rank these cars in your wants or preference? Nissan Z, Toyota Supra, BMW Z4 and Ford Mustang

[old sedge]

Then Subaru WRX is for you

[urban pond]

Toyota Supra
Nissan Z
BMW Z4
Ford Mustang

[old sedge]

Oooh nice

[urban pond]

It’s really a tie between the Z and the Supra

[old sedge]

I forgot to add Dodge Challenger and Camaro both current gen

Hehe

[urban pond]

I’m more just debating upgrading to one of those 6 Cyl sports cars or upgrading my Brz

[old sedge]

I'm leaning on Z because it's a lot cheaper than Supra

At least here

[urban pond]

Not even price it’s just availability

It’s easier to get here in Canada vs the Supra

[old sedge]

In Philippines, buying a Supra has a waiting time of more than a year

I kind of wish Supra has the fancy interior the Z4 has, but it's built for performance and sporty looks over fancy looks

[jagged sentinel]

I mean neither of them are being made anymore, so...

[silent oak]

Should of said charger

[static gale]

if any generation:
Nissan Z (Including Fairladys)
Supra
Mustang
Z4

[silent oak]

I prefer a Mustang as it’s the only muscle car

[urban pond]

I’d like mustangs more if they had better interiors

I almost bought an S550 but I hated the shitty calculator ass screen

[silent oak]

I just don’t care anymore

[molten nebula]

A walking stick.

Best transport method.

Or a wheelchair

[silent oak]

Hmm rolls Royce silver spur.. hmm

Rolling land yacht

it ain't get better mang 😭 they put a tablet in that shit

Is there a renault that uses a japanese engine

Idk why my family is dead set on a french car

First a peugot now this

[visual vessel]

Engine swap a renault

[mental lion]

Renault aren’t as bad as you might think

Mercedes uses some of their engines

[silent oak]

Isnt peugot the worst one?

I know French = bad

I’d never own a French car

[mental lion]

i only know about renault and Peugeot and peugeot is tha bad one

Doesn’t make renault all that great either

[silent oak]

It’s French cars you get what you pay for

[young forge]

Gng I js want a c63 amg

[mental lion]

Being cheap isn’t an excuse for being terrible but that’s how it is

[limpid pendant]

Buy it

[silent oak]

Can you afford an amg

[urban pond]

he couldnt afford the insurance let alone the car

[kind osprey]

For an old one like pre 2008 non s Caymans I would never get one in auto

But if it is pdk vs stick

Then it is honestly personal preference

Pdk is amazing

That is by far the greatest dual clutch in a sports car and has none of the hindering features of an old automated single clutch like Ferraris f1 gearbox and older Gallardos, or even older auto Porsche's

[jagged sentinel]

Manual "enthusiasts" are nothing if not dedicated

Bordering on obsession though in some cases

[kind osprey]

Manual is definitely more fun. But if you plan on dailying this car you may not want it

I daily a manual and I regret nothing, it is nowhere near as difficult as people make it out to be on forums. But at the same time it absolutely has a learning curve

You don't want your first manual to be a tight bite sports car

[jagged sentinel]

Doesn't it also depend on the nature of the clutch in a given vehicle also, to an extent

[kind osprey]

Yea definitely, if you have an aftermarket clutch because you upgraded the powertrain drastically, the bite point and friction will be nuts

You will have to rev it to 2k everytime you wanna move forward on a stage 2 clutch

[jagged sentinel]

The clutch in our Camaro is silky smooth and linear in engagement, whereas the clutch in the mustangs I have to occasionally move at work (basically the newer ones) suck to operate

The tremec in the dark horses and GT350s aren't as bad but the MT82s are annoying

The clutch in the manual broncos are better, but you have to get it to like 3K to get it to go anywhere

[kind osprey]

Before I bought my car I didn't drive a manual on a road, it was literally my first time doing it out of a parking lot. It was scary as fuck but I was in a suburb in long Island when I bought it so I drove it around for 20 minutes and felt confident enough to go on the highway home

[static gale]

I immediately stalled my friend's GTI because I didn't want to slip the clutch too much, I just hopped out and said, "yeah, you can drive [back home]"

[kind osprey]

I stalled right before I was about to turn left with a line of car behind me so that was the only embarrassing part of that first half hour of owning the car

[jagged sentinel]

It's just going in and out of first that's where most of the difficulty in manuals are

[kind osprey]

It's not really bad, in any modern or decently powered car you aren't going to be going 1 2 3 2 3 1 in bumper traffic

Most cars you just let out clutch and roll it then clutch in

And only give it gas if it gets above 6mph

Manual trucks are a bitch

Like real trucks (18 wheelers and such)

They have no synchronization and the ratios are nuts

They are indeed a bitch in traffic

[kind osprey]

Maybe for the first half hour but now I have to intentionally stall the car

Once you get used to the bite it is almost impossible to

[static gale]

I took a 5-speed bus around the nordschleife in beam for about 2 hours, and I had to double clutch everywhere or I'd get synchro damage, haha

[kind osprey]

Yep

Beam is pretty realistic so you may have been able to float the gears like trucks irl

I don't double clutch trucks

[static gale]

yeah, I didn't have to do it everywhere, it was just more fun

[kind osprey]

I need to get on beam I haven't in a while

Sorry to say this because he is your best friend and all, but thay is an insanely idiotic take from him

And even his cousins who race will call him an idiot if they have brains

The 718 is entirely a 911 in the front 60% of the car, has better balance and is less bullshit to deal with

911's are amazing but so is the 718

The 718 as of recently is not lesser to the 911 they are just a different experience

Porsche only makes them lesser because of marketing

The 718 could be better than a 911 if they wanted it to be

981 I think is the post 2014 gen right

Yea that was a good year for them

Newers also a fortune

Might aswell get a 2016 for $50,000 instead of a new for $100,000

They drive the same

If I had to go spend $100,000 on a sports car of that class I'd get an Emira. I can't wait for those to be $50k-60k cars

18k miles is great but fuck that price

That looks like a base model

Probably not even lol

The only thing keeping that car at a value is the low mileage

[jagged sentinel]

That's the problem with MT82s for me and apparently many others

[kind osprey]

What country 😭

[jagged sentinel]

The bite is incredibly vague and mushy

[kind osprey]

What's that a truck?

[jagged sentinel]

No that's the name of a transmission

[kind osprey]

That dealer said it was the only low mile for sale in the US?

Is he a bellend

There are probably 10 within a 50 mile radius of me

[jagged sentinel]

It's the 6 speed in the S550 and S650 Mustangs

[kind osprey]

Ahh

Modern clutch bites are also sorta mushy cause they are more electronic

Ignorance is bliss I guess. For the dealer saying this, and if anyone actually buys the thing lol

[jagged sentinel]

I could at least somewhat tell when something was happening in the broncos, but not the mustangs

[jagged sentinel]

Yeah, the one in our 87 Camaro gives a lot more feedback, and is less binary in feel

I'd rather get a higher mile gts with decked out options than a pristine lower mile base S ngl

Miles don't bother me since I'm going to be adding them anyway

Gts is the perfect middle ground trim. Any higher and you sacrifice comfort and daily use ability, any lower and you are buying a midwife/dentist car

That would be a really low mileage one I guess

Auctions are tricky because you could either get it for a steal or be heavily ripped off

It is fluid, you compete against others, and "others" could have a lot more disposable cash and not gaf about the cars value and drive up the price to something unreasonable

Like most enthusiasts Jdm's and shit like that

Imagine paying $174,000 for a $20,000 car

No reserves ironically have better turnout because the bidders know it will sell

Yea no reserve is crazy risky unless you got a marginally rare car that is very coveted

I say marginally because if you put no reserve on a super rare car with no volume in the market for it, you would be fucked

And it could sell for half of what you wanted it to go for

Think Mercedes GTr black series vs Iso Grifo

The gtr black series will easily fly with no reserve

But the iso grifo may fall short

It's too rare and nobody looks at it

[kind osprey]

Yea that one definitely looks taken care of

Very bache which I honestly dig

I like when the interior is a lighter color especially at night

I wish I could drive a nice car like that to work

I work near a lot of truck depots and shipping areas so dump trucks will drive by and there is dust and random stuff just everywhere

😩

Got to see the new prelude in person

[steady cove]

Wtf they made another toyota prius?

[jagged sentinel]

Stupid ahh car

[static gale]

Oh, they actually went through with the design

[kind osprey]

I can't believe to got the prelude so right. 330hp, optional 6 speed, and all for $47,000 ngl they kinda killed it

Is what I would say if Honda wasn't fucking smokin that pack

When they made this thingy

[pseudo charm]

You had me excited for a second

They should’ve just shoved the Accord’s 2.0T in that Prelude and called it a day

[tepid fog]

new prelude sucks

i have 5th gen and its my favv

its reliable if you take care of it and really fun to drive unlike that stupid new prelude

piece of beauty

[urban pond]

Not even 330hp just put the civic Si’s 1.5 in with an optional Manual and I would have made the switch

[static gale]

That's thermal[ly reflective] tape on the intake, or?
