transportation

[tepid fog]

yess

[static gale]

[tepid fog]

but id want to change it

and have the yellow one i heard its better

[kind osprey]

Nah 200hp for type r money is wild

You're entering 400z territory

And the maxed out Toyota 86 is like 8 grand cheaper

Rwd, 30 more horsepower, it's just the better car

I would save $11,000 and get the civic hybrid if I wanted the prelude experience lol

[tepid fog]

idk wth they were thinking

[urban pond]

My Brz tS new with an 8 year warranty was cheaper than the prelude here

[jagged sentinel]

Clearly not about what the prelude used to be

And what everyone who wanted another prelude wanted

[tepid fog]

you lowkey scared me with that pfp thought i got a warning

but yea they fumbled harddd

[jagged sentinel]

Well, time to up the counter again...

[modern apex]

Taking all the classic cars and turning them into piles of 💩

[mental lion]

The amount of cars you can get in that price bracket is crazy

[silent oak]

Even worse, probably an old prelude for that price over across the pond

I mean back when heavily used cars were cheap

[pseudo charm]

43K MSRP for a 200 hp hybrid electric automatic FWD grandpa car is genuinely insane

Can get a 2026 Prius for $30K and it gets better mileage, is more practical, is AWD, and has a faster 0-60 than the so called “Sports Coupe” that is the Prelude.

[kind osprey]

Same front end as well

[silent oak]

Or get something better than a Prius

Glorified washing machine

[pseudo charm]

As I get older the more and more I like the Prius

I think the one thing that was missing in the earlier gens for me was just the aesthetics but I think the current gen looks solid

[silent oak]

They are white machines. Nothing more

As Clarkson said

[pseudo charm]

They’re cute little white machines

Little mini fridges driving around the streets

[silent oak]

If I had to drive one I’d drive one wearing a mask

Can’t suffer being spotted in one

[pseudo charm]

Gotta wear the ski mask with Sun glasses

[silent oak]

And keep a piece in the glove box if I get spotted

[silent oak]

I don’t like the huge headlights looking like that.. it’s weird as I do like the Camaro second gen

[kind osprey]

I like how froggy the 5th gen looks

He just looks clueless and down for anything

4th gen front looks like it means more business but I like the bubbley front of the 5th

[tepid fog]

it does loll

it needs a front lip so bad

its not that huge tbh and its not even close to a 2nd gen camaro

meant to reply to suki^

[silent oak]

The second gen Camaro has huge headlights, the z28 does

[tepid fog]

it looks so sexyyy

[silent oak]

Its a beautiful car, something I’d daily imo

Even better if it’s Manuel

[tepid fog]

manuel

[silent oak]

I want a Manuel transmission challenger

Those are great

[tepid fog]

manuel is just fun overall

[brazen lantern]

I need to get my license 🥀

but my dad said he won’t pay for it if I wanna learn manuel

[silent oak]

I had to get mine re done

My id has a resting bitch face as the photo

[brazen lantern]

My id picture is like so old people don’t recognise it’s me 😭

[brazen lantern]

what for tho or just to get the new pic

[silent oak]

New photo every I’d renewal

I do that so I don’t get ID’ed

[brazen lantern]

lol valid I got ID more after I was 18 than when I was a minor

[silent oak]

Having long bangs make you look fucking crazy sometimes

[tepid fog]

why? that doesnt make sense

[silent oak]

He’s not going in the insurance detail

Young driver + Manuel car

[tepid fog]

oh

i see

[brazen lantern]

yeah that and he’s all like

[silent oak]

I can drive Manuel but I have an auto

[brazen lantern]

ohhh it’s 2026 manuel cars aren’t going to exist in like 5 years blah blah blah

[tepid fog]

[pseudo charm]

People been saying that for the past 15 years

[brazen lantern]

That’s what I tell him

[silent oak]

Dodge still made manual transmissions for their 2023 line up

[brazen lantern]

I don’t even wanna get a car though I wanna get a bike

[silent oak]

You want to be street pavement as much as I do?!!

[tepid fog]

getting a manual license is actually way beneficial cz you never know what emergency could occur and only car there is an old 1985 truck
how would u drive thattttt

[brazen lantern]

Yesssss!!!

[silent oak]

Well I’d only own an Indian or Harley

I’m into American bikes

[tepid fog]

id say get an auto license then in future js get urself a manuel and drive it

[brazen lantern]

I want a Harley and a Sport bike

[silent oak]

In the US the drivers license is for both manual + auto + manual without shifter

[tepid fog]

more details i see

[brazen lantern]

Idk which sport bike yet but eventually

[tepid fog]

we js have two licenses here manual or auto

[tepid fog]

cbr1000

[silent oak]

Manual dual clutch means you don’t have a clutch just a paddle

[tepid fog]

why do they complicate things..

[brazen lantern]

Exactly and like if you get a rental or something when you on holiday and they only have manual cars or something

[tepid fog]

exactly

[silent oak]

It’s an F1 thing

All performance cars followed

Even the hellcats

[tepid fog]

its basically automatic car to begin with

[tepid fog]

even lexus has em

[silent oak]

No. You still have to switch up gear and down gear

[tepid fog]

oh so its actually pedals only

that's interesting i never knew that

[silent oak]

It’s called DCT

dual clutch transmission

Its 2 transmissions technically

Two clutches

To note, not all DCTs have paddle shifters

They have the shifter but no clutch as it’s computerized

[urban pond]

Hellcat isn’t a DCT

Just cause it has paddle shifters doesn’t make it a DCT

The Shelby’s use DCTs but Dodge hasn’t

And C8 uses a DCT as well but that’s really as far as American cars go

[silent oak]

I do wish hellcats used DCTs

[kind osprey]

Maybe older ones

But if a dct doesn't use paddles that's like a manual not using a shifter

They all kinda universally chose paddles

At least after like 2014 when they started getting good and popular

[kind osprey]

My thing is that when you get pulled over in a manual do cops actually give af?

Just put a blanket over your shifter lol

"Yes officer it's stock"

In the US there is a manual license only for trucks

Since they are a lot more difficult and are a lot more of a liability

[tepid fog]

idek i never been in that situation but our licenses for manual and automatic are the same thing the only difference is if you licensed for auto it would be written at the back of the card "automatic" nd blank for manual drivers..

so idk if the cops actually check it or not

[tepid fog]

my car came with an automatic transmission from factory with a tiny 2.0 F series engine ..and i converted it to a manual w a h22 engine so i always struggle yearly whenever inspection day comes

[tepid fog]

same here for some reason people dont know how to drive a manual
so they tend to go for an auto since its cheaper and can pass the tests easily

[kind osprey]

Manual trucks are 100 times harder than manual cars

Trucks have like 2 foot throws, you have to either double clutch or float every single gear due to no synchros, and that requires constant timing from gear to gear

In a car you can clutch and willy nilly

Go to whatever gear you want whenever tf you want other than downshifting over redline obviously

[tepid fog]

the clutch must be heavy asf is it?

i mean the clutch pedal

[silent oak]

@kind osprey what’s your take on DCTs in street cars ?

Are they overkill for the price if it’s average car not a sports or coupe

[jagged sentinel]

Can offer better comfort and fuel efficiency

Ford tried using DCTs in the focus of all things to...varying degrees of success

[silent oak]

I wonder if the new inline 6 charger has one

[jagged sentinel]

Nope

[silent oak]

Damn it I saw one irl

They are kinda cool

The design doesn’t bother me

[jagged sentinel]

They look very good

At present, that's pretty much the only good thing about them for enthusiasts born before 2010

[silent oak]

Hemi ones are coming tho

[kind osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/calf-big-calves-major-calves-gif-9196092591943026453

[loud spade]

Because for the most part you don’t want or need to drive a manual

[loud spade]

That’s just american trucks I think

European trucks are almost like cars when it comes to shifting

[silent oak]

Some people just don’t want to drive Manuel for their daily

Like a stressful day at work

Getting laid off

[static gale]

Manuel needs rest every once and a while

[silent oak]

I’d burn out my clutch if I owned a daily manual

[kind osprey]

You would have to do it on purpose

Like clutch kicking and launching your car at high rpms

[silent oak]

You mean redlining

I’ve redlined my car a few

[kind osprey]

You'd have to be a bit slow to roast a clutch with normal use

[static gale]

he means dumping the clutch

[kind osprey]

No, I never mentioned that

[silent oak]

Idc I haven’t owned a manual in years since I left Japan

[kind osprey]

The first few days will feel weird and you might cause some friction to it but nothing bad enough to really damage it

[silent oak]

I want a manual but it has to be a Japanese car imo

I want rhd so I get the muscle memory back

[static gale]

My shifter in my sim was only on the right for like, 2-3 months. All the rest of the time I had it, it was on the left for space reasons

[kind osprey]

For example if you go up a hill and let out the clutch and use the clutch to ride up the hill without gassing then gassing too hard with the clutch slightly in you can potentially slip the clutch at high revs and you'll be smelling burning for an hour or 2

[silent oak]

Is it like a bad burning like.. take burning paper

Or like burning metal

I know burning metal

[kind osprey]

A mix of burning brakes and burning tires

It does not smell good

[silent oak]

I threw up after doing a reallly bad repair on my water pump

Is a manual integra any good ?

I’ve seen em

[kind osprey]

Owned one for 7-8 months now, it is the greatest shifting experience outside of maybe a Porsche or bespoke track car

Honda is known for making amazing factory shifters

[silent oak]

Can I put a skull shifter on the head of it?

[kind osprey]

My car is a short throw from stock

[kind osprey]

Yea you can make it anything, my friends shifter was a 3d printed videogame character

[silent oak]

I’ve always wanted a skull shifter cuz funny bad to the bone riff

[kind osprey]

It kinda looked like the android logo

[silent oak]

I remember back when I was 18 I had a manual little car that was a mini van

God that thing was funny sized for me

[static gale]

I've only smelled burning brakes once, so I don't have the smell off the top of my head

[silent oak]

Its the burnt carbon

Brake dust is just carcinogens

[kind osprey]

I'm not rich enough to know what burned carbon smells like

[static gale]

a lot of dusts are carcinogens

[kind osprey]

And ceramics produce barely any dust

Which is why most supercars with steelie brakes have dirty rims

From the accumulated dust

[silent oak]

I want a coupe integra

Those are sweet

[kind osprey]

It would be sick if they made one instead of that god awful prelude

[silent oak]

The prelude looks like a Prius had a donation from a civic type r

Bug eye look my beloved

[kind osprey]

Those things are stupid money now

They just unfortunately don't make any sense

They cost more than s2000's

[silent oak]

The type r models are soo pretty

4 door model looks like shit

[onyx rivet]

since the last time we discussed this, you are still the only person i have interacted with who prefer the spider eyes lights on the third gen integra

[silent oak]

It’s a different look, like better than a basic Honda civic ahhh look

[tepid fog]

not better looking than my car doe

like the back is so hot

[silent oak]

I prefer American stuff myself

I want an Escalade but they too expensive but a Durango would be a good alternative

[obtuse urchin]

Why do you want an aircraft carrier

[silent oak]

Appearance, I’ve wanted an Escalade because of my love for big cars

In Japan and Asia big cars are kind of a luxury thing

[tepid fog]

even in middle east

[silent oak]

Well euro Asia

[mental lion]

Why wouldn’t you take the denali or high country into consideration

[jagged sentinel]

Both of those are trim levels

[static gale]

Yeah, so why wouldn't you take the LE or SE into consideration

[jagged sentinel]

what

[static gale]

/j

[mental lion]

Yeah but they’re much higher than lower trims that they are their own thing

[silent oak]

Can a girl get some high end trim car…

It has to have B R O W N interior

[fresh thicket]

For the money not worth it at all

[kind osprey]

Big suvs are so useless

[silent oak]

What so I should get a small car?

A Mustang?

[kind osprey]

Mustang is not a small car 😭

That's just a sports car

[silent oak]

Muscle car

[kind osprey]

It hasn't been a muscle car for over a decade

[silent oak]

I just need a secondary daily

[jagged sentinel]

Hasn't been a muscle car since like 1973

[silent oak]

Idk do you call modern “muscle cars” pony cars?

[jagged sentinel]

Define modern muscle car

[silent oak]

Big v8 RWD with classic 70s/ late 60s styling

[jagged sentinel]

I call pony cars pony cars, which pretty much just means the mustang at this point, though muscle car is a redundant term now so I may use it depending on who I'm talking to

[jagged sentinel]

No such thing really exists anymore

[silent oak]

How about high trim hellcats?

Those count right?

[jagged sentinel]

Pony car and muscle car are different

[silent oak]

Isn’t any Mustang that isn’t 5.0 a pony car

[jagged sentinel]

Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers, Firebirds, Cudas and Javelins are pony cars

[jagged sentinel]

Any mustang is a pony car period

[silent oak]

I feel if it’s a bigger v8 it’s a muscle cars

[jagged sentinel]

The mustang is THE Pony Car; where do ya think the name came from

[silent oak]

Pony = Mustang car = automobile

[jagged sentinel]

The Pony Car way back when was advertised, in essence, as a smaller, sportier version of a muscle car

[silent oak]

The poverty spec you could say

[jagged sentinel]

No

Nothing to do with that

Pony cars were usually more expensive than economy cars back then

[silent oak]

Hmm I’m a huge 70s muscle car girl

[jagged sentinel]

The challenger was more expensive than the dart, for examples

[silent oak]

The 70s challenger is soo pretty

I’d love to own one but with the market and weather of my state no

[jagged sentinel]

Pony cars back then could get expensive back then depending on what specialty packages you wanted

Like if you wanted a 427 Camaro (if you could even get an allocation for it, which was hard) or a Yenko, or a Shelby mustang

[silent oak]

So will? Would you say a hellcat is a sports car or a heritage muscle car

[jagged sentinel]

Which one

[silent oak]

The hellcat

Any trim level

[jagged sentinel]

Which hellcat

[silent oak]

The wide body jailbreak

[jagged sentinel]

Like which model

[silent oak]

The high end model of high end

[jagged sentinel]

No, like Charger, challenger, Durango etc

[silent oak]

Challenger / charger

[jagged sentinel]

The charger was a muscle car, challenger a pony car, though that's debatable

[silent oak]

Both have SRT wide body / jailbreak

[jagged sentinel]

The widebody doesn't really change anything in this context

[silent oak]

The modern charger is so fucking nice

[jagged sentinel]

It's a dodge

[silent oak]

It’s nice for a dodge

But it’s coming from a dodge enjoyer

[jagged sentinel]

I don't really care much for it

It looks good but that's where my Interest in it ends

[silent oak]

I just love dodge ever since I saw one In Japan

[jagged sentinel]

I don't have a favorite company tbh

They each do things better than each other

[silent oak]

Do you know I secretly like the lexus with the Supra chasis?

[jagged sentinel]

Chevy makes the better sports car (pony cars included, as they are by definition sports cars), Ford makes the better light truck, and Chrysler/Dodge do medium/heavy duty the best

Notice how I said dodge and not ram

[silent oak]

Is the new ram 1500 with the cowboy hat holder cool?

[silent oak]

Cuz they are “divorced”

[jagged sentinel]

I don't care what Chrysler says, Ram is still part of dodge

[jagged sentinel]

Gimmicky

[silent oak]

My dodge nascar jacket has the Dodge ram when they were together

[jagged sentinel]

Back when dodge actually had a badge

Instead of just 2 lines and "dodge" tacked on

[silent oak]

Not “ D O D G E “

Or that triangle

And yes the new Dodge does have the triangle thing

[jagged sentinel]

Yes, the Fratzog

Actual name

[silent oak]

Sounds like a frat house name

[jagged sentinel]

Was used in the challengers of old

[silent oak]

“Welcome to the fratzog”

[jagged sentinel]

Yes, they were quite proud of bringing it back

[silent oak]

Smart tho

It’s an image not a tag name

Does ford get away with it more?

[jagged sentinel]

It's something they can actually put on a grille or hood

[jagged sentinel]

Get away with what

[silent oak]

Not having an logo for their trucks

F o r d on the grill

[jagged sentinel]

They don't need one, it's just Ford

Same with Chevy

[silent oak]

“Isa ford”

[jagged sentinel]

The F-150 is Ford's poster boy anyway

Knock on wood, I'm glad they haven't changed their logo to some minimalism bullshit

[silent oak]

Ok will.. tell me what’s your favorite gen of f150 ? As your from Detroit the home of the American car

[jagged sentinel]

I don't really have one

[silent oak]

And the grave yard of manufactures

[silent oak]

Are we talking, 90s gen ?

[jagged sentinel]

I don't really have a favorite F150 generation

[silent oak]

Hmm all of em are good work horses?

[jagged sentinel]

Some better than others I'm sure

I like Rams more

[silent oak]

Ooh my area of expertise

I’ve had my fair share of rams in my state

[jagged sentinel]

My dad owns two and that's what I grew up riding in

Plus they're generally nicer than the equivalent ford

[silent oak]

What gen ram would you say is best

I need your input

I’m looking into cars that fill a “utility” case

Not just fun for cool’s sake

[jagged sentinel]

Idk what the "best" gen is but I like the newer ones the most

[silent oak]

The new 1500? Sweet

I hate that ford is switching to steer by wire

[blissful edge]

best $30 i have ever spent

[obtuse urchin]

[tepid fog]

yal know whats the worst feeling on earth. is doing a headgasket job pulling the head off and putting it back on and all studs in torqued and all .. cams on with their taps lock on ..
then as im doing the timing belt, i accidentally stripped the thread where tensioner bolts on.

i cant even be more devastated at this bullshit ..i hate working on these bullshit korean god damn engines

[pseudo charm]

I think the worst feeling is hearing a straight piped Elantra N

[tepid fog]

it would sound like civic lol

[pseudo charm]

I already think the Elantra N sounds fairly bad but yeah people straight piping them makes them hurt my ears

[tepid fog]

straight piping any 4cyl sounds like sh1t

unless.. unequal length headers 4cyl

[silent oak]

It sounds like a failed extra from f&F

[pseudo charm]

Also doesn’t help that people also get obnoxious fart tunes to make their pops and burbles louder

“Best sounding Elantra N in ____”

[fleet owl]

Got the mini part

[silent oak]

I hope in fh6 has a dodge challenger again, be it the 70s or the 2016 model, slamming the gas down long roads

[jagged sentinel]

What makes you doubt it

[silent oak]

Idk how much of the fh5 cars will
Transfer

[jagged sentinel]

The challenger isn't exactly obscure

[silent oak]

I hope they add the 71 or 72 challenger

Those are just not as popular models

[jagged sentinel]

We already have a first gen Challenger, so

[silent oak]

The different models have different looks

[jagged sentinel]

I'm aware

[silent oak]

72 challenger

71 looked similar to the 70s one tho

[jagged sentinel]

It still looks damn near the same as the 70

[silent oak]

The grill is the difference

[jagged sentinel]

It'd also be a worse 70 challenger anyway

[silent oak]

Yeah it was post 70s so it had reduced everything

[kind osprey]

Charger, Challenger, Plymouth, Oldsmobile, just uhh. Pick ine and sit inside they all do the same thing lol

[silent oak]

Plymouth was under Chrysler in the 70s

But Oldsmobile was under GM

[kind osprey]

I like the cuda

That's probably the only old muscle car I'd own if I had like 30-100 cars

[silent oak]

Plymouth’s 426 cuda was a piece of art

Too bad they are so overpriced now

[kind osprey]

Aren't the hemi ones stupidly rare

[silent oak]

Yes

[jagged sentinel]

Yes

[silent oak]

The 426 hemi was a race engine

[jagged sentinel]

Well-kept examples routinely go for 100k+ at auction

[silent oak]

Same as well conditioned 69 chargers

But those have the Hollywood’s tax

[jagged sentinel]

I don't think the reason is any different from the challenger

It's an icon among icons

[silent oak]

I blame f&F and dukes of hazzard (love the show)

But it inflated the price of a decent 69 charger so high

[tepid fog]

why you asking mister

[fleet owl]

Curious

[tepid fog]

it looks nice af

[silent oak]

I want one cuz I’m driving a lot

[tepid fog]

i wonder how u would connect it

[silent oak]

Plus I’m dogshit at soldering

[tepid fog]

like do u connect it through ur car speakers ?

[tepid fog]

thats not necessary..

u could use heat shrink instead

[silent oak]

I’ll have to get one so I can have a radio In my car

[tepid fog]

its pretty neat

[silent oak]

You seen Smokey and the bandit?

[silent oak]

It’s a challenger

Challengers aren’t police issued

Good ol Cobra

[silent oak]

Yesss I want one

[jagged sentinel]

Look at the wheel weights

This is a 35K car

I counted 14, and assuming each one is .25 oz, that's over 3 ounces. For those who don't know wheel balancing, that's fucking insane

[tepid fog]

thats alotttttt holy

[silent oak]

Holy smokes

[jagged sentinel]

Oh yeah

Forgot to mention

It's a 2026

Like 8 miles or some shit

[sage roost]

what automobile is that?

[jagged sentinel]

It's a 2026 mustang

[dire shard]

from factory?

you never need more than a few

this is literally a skill issue

tbf the most fun part about balancing wheels was using a plastic chisel to scrape off the old ones

i've seen people put weights on opposite sides 💀

[jagged sentinel]

Yes, this car had like 8 miles on it.

I detail cars for a dealership in a pretty nice area, so the vast majority of the cars we clean are brand spanking new

[silent oak]

Is it good looking?

[kind osprey]

is it a defective rim or is that just like a common problem with them

[swift olive]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7xCHoQ-8FI

[hallow smelt]

[prime bolt]

I balanced my wheels

[dire shard]

naw whoever balanced it is just a fool

[silent oak]

Holy resident evil

Deer ran in the road uh this was not on purpose

Shattered ankle broke tibia broken ribs and a punctured lung can promise u this was not on purpose

[silent oak]

Fucking deer

Open season ?

Anyways hope that your insurance both Heath and car cover your stuff

[prime bolt]

Shit was annoying I had just bought the car n totaled it like 2 days later

[silent oak]

Good insurance isn’t gonna like it

[prime bolt]

No insurance

On me or the car

Total lose

[silent oak]

Write off than?

[prime bolt]

Idrk what I'ma do

I think I owe like 200k in medical bills

Cars gone

[silent oak]

Holy shit

[prime bolt]

Yea

[silent oak]

My god thank fuck I’m an alcoholic

A crash like that turns you into an alcoholic

[prime bolt]

Yh now I'm constantly on pain killers n practically in debt till I did

[silent oak]

Or get a decent paying job

[prime bolt]

Im a manager

I just don't feel like grinding that fucking hard again

I bought the car cash

[silent oak]

I’m lucky I have two jobs, a car, rent in my state

I’m surprised I haven’t totaled my sweet v8

Nice choices

[tepid fog]

[kind osprey]

This is a great example of why you hit the deer instead

[prime bolt]

Lmaoo

I could've got decapitated

[kind osprey]

The rule is, if it's a deer, ram it, if it is a moose, then you drive it into a ditch, off a cliff etc

Because a deer will fling, a moose will kill you

[steady cove]

ayoo

ts was me yesterday

[urban pond]

My car is still in storage hopefully by months end I can take it out

[silent oak]

Moose are just angry big deer

[loud spade]

[prime bolt]

Deer could've decapitated me at my speed

Rather the tree

[kind osprey]

That is a Darwin award of a sentence if I ever heard one

[jagged sentinel]

And the tree couldn't possibly do anything worse to you at 40 miles an hour than a deer? A thing that isn't rooted in the ground and won't bring your vehicle to a stop almost instantaneously?

Clarkson wasn't lying when he said it's the sudden stop that gets you

[kind osprey]

Yea in no world will a dear do more damage than a literal immovable object

This all makes zero sense

I guess I gotta start quizzing people about this when I am the passenger in anybody car for long periods of time. Because I will nope tf out if they get something as simple as this incorrect

[jagged sentinel]

I think a follow-up question should be whether older cars are safer for the driver than newer cars

And more importantly why

[kind osprey]

Depends but in general newer cars are objectively much safer. Sure a big bulky caddy from the 70's will feel like a tub of armor but it'll liquify your organs at highway speeds lol

[jagged sentinel]

That's what I mean

[kind osprey]

If I'm getting in my Lotus Elise I am not too worried about safety cause that thing is a 4 wheel motorcycle with padding lol

Mass plays a part but crumple and cabin features matter just as much

[jagged sentinel]

Even if the car itself doesn't pulverize you when it deforms, if the car's body doesn't absorb the energy, what does, right

[kind osprey]

Yea

[jagged sentinel]

I am curious what the safety is like for ultralight cars like that

Smart cars have a remarkably durable body but in a crash you become the rocket league soccar ball

[kind osprey]

Hitting concrete walls and stuff like this is better because no engine in the front and a rigid yet absorbing chassis. But if you get hit by another car head on it is quick death

[kind osprey]

Smart cars are actually designed to flail around like that it's funny

Instead of absorbing they go wee

[jagged sentinel]

Yeah I mean that makes a lot more sense than the alternative

[kind osprey]

The more distance you cover to an extent, the safer the crash

Stopping to 0 vs bouncing around a bit can be life or death

[jagged sentinel]

Yes, slower deceleration and such

[kind osprey]

Smart cars are so interesting

I've always loved them just cause of the concept

Let's make the least safe class of vehicle as safe as physically possible

[jagged sentinel]

I never really cared for them but I live in suburban Michigan so go figure

Short of motorcycles they are the vehicle I would like to drive on public roads the least

[kind osprey]

Idk why but growing up I really liked those tiny slopey cars

8 year old me was so pissed we never got the 2000 Mercedes A class

[jagged sentinel]

Bigger vehicles are generally safer in vehicle-vehicle collisions than smaller ones

[kind osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/mercedes-benz-a-class-a-moose-test-elk-test-gif-525409880665261407

[jagged sentinel]

And this is where big vehicles are the worst; great timing lol

[kind osprey]

The only time I want a big torquey vehicle is towing or long long roadtrips like 1000 mile+

[jagged sentinel]

--For the driver.

[kind osprey]

Everyday driving the lighter the better for me

Highways are boring to drive as is if I'm going in a straight line feathering the throttle I don't need s2000 level turning capabilities lol

[jagged sentinel]

My maverick is growing on me for a number of reasons, one of them being that it'd be safer than an actual truck in a collision

I'm legitimately considering getting another one in the future

[kind osprey]

Maverick is a small pickup done right. The segment became non existent but when they popped up they look like shitty crossovers with an opening in the back

Maverick actually looks like a tiny pickup

[jagged sentinel]

It's as much truck as most generally need, it looks decent, drives well as most Fords do, gets good gas even with the least efficient engine-drivetrain combo, and has usable bed

[kind osprey]

Yea it's like what the ranger was before it became big af

Like the little Mazda pickups from the early 2000's

I miss those

[jagged sentinel]

It's also safer in a crash than a regular truck because it's a unibody

[kind osprey]

Yea

[jagged sentinel]

Only point of contention is the second row is a bit cramped but that's unavoidable in a compact truck

[jagged sentinel]

What do you think of the maverick lobo

[prime bolt]

70 😭

But I get ur point

But y'all just don't understand I don't have a bumper on the car it would've rolled over my hood into the glass it was huge

Plus the car was lowered

[loud spade]

Drives as well as most fords do
That can’t be good

[jagged sentinel]

I'm not saying it drives like a Porsche bruh

It's no Porsche but it's not a tractor either

[loud spade]

Ford: fix or repair daily

[jagged sentinel]

I said drive

Didn't say anything about maintenance, but my maverick has been fine so far

[dire shard]

"small" 😭 it's a mid-size truck

truck designers have gone too far fr

[urban pond]

the maverick is technically a Small sized truck

the ranger is more of the mid sized

[dire shard]

in today's world, that's true

👴 back in my day, the maverick is larger than ye old pickups

[urban pond]

but regardless i think the Maverick is a really good step in the right direction

[dire shard]

yeah definitely

twenty years ago people made daily work use of smaller trucks, there's no conceivable reason why jessica brown down the street needs a ford f-69420

[urban pond]

especially since like 3/4s of Truck owners dont actually use their truck

its an Ego thing really

thats entirely why people buy these large trucks

[dire shard]

ego and image

[urban pond]

if you go out and purchase a Truck for the sake of wanting a truck you're a clown in my book

[dire shard]

why is it always the lifted f-150s hurling down highways at twice the speed limit and cutting three lanes at the same time, too

ego buying ego driving

[urban pond]

the only Truck i would ever want is the Maverick with AWD Hybrid

or the Lobo cause those are kind of cool

[dire shard]

don't really follow trucks so that's the first time i've heard of it

that's pretty awesome

[silent oak]

What if you ego buy without an ego

[dire shard]

then you just buy

without ego in the equation, people would presumably get the car they need instead of the car that they think makes their cock bigger

[silent oak]

I just want a cool car that’s big

[dire shard]

what do you need a big car for, you of all people would have extra space in a mini

[silent oak]

I don’t like British cars

[dire shard]

for the most part i agree but i can't lie the f-type is like a cooler mustang

[silent oak]

But Mustang has cooler lineage

[dire shard]

yeah but i'm buying a car not buying history

buying into brand heritage is like buying into snake oil

i'm not driving history

[silent oak]

So buying a Chevy el Camino for cool car is bad ?

I love it because it’s a chevel as

[urban pond]

He’s not saying it’s bad it’s more just blind consumerism

[dire shard]

you buy an el camino if you want

[silent oak]

El Camino are classic

[dire shard]

i mean that, between an f-type or an s550 which are both good cars, you buy the one you like more, but you don't buy the s550 because you like the old fastback or something

[silent oak]

I’d daily an classic car

[urban pond]

i would if i didnt live with salt

[dire shard]

i don't live with salt 😎

where's me ol' mustung

[urban pond]

but then i also like my cars to be comfortable so i probably wouldnt daily a classic car either

[dire shard]

they don't have head rests right

[silent oak]

I’d wear a cowboy hat

[dire shard]

of course you would

[silent oak]

I’d die wearing drip

[urban pond]

shes an american weeb

[dire shard]

reverse weeb

[silent oak]

blame American westerns

I like cowboys

[urban pond]

i only want to move to America but i dont really want any of their cars

[silent oak]

I wanted a challenger lmao

[urban pond]

small exception to like the C8 and S650

[silent oak]

Still want an old 70s challenger

Hmm that pistol grip shifter

[dire shard]

yeah the three modern american cars i'd ever slightly consider owning are corvettes, mustangs, or the maverick we were just talking about

[urban pond]

Challengers are cool i just dont like heavy ass cars

[dire shard]

the rest of the american car industry is just... 💀

[silent oak]

What era?

[dire shard]

current offerings

[urban pond]

i will admit

[silent oak]

70s? 80s?

[urban pond]

i do like the newer Ford Explorers

[silent oak]

80s American cars were shit

[urban pond]

the STs with the 6 cylinder 400HP engines are pretty cool

and i dont mind the Mach E that much anymore

[dire shard]

have they dropped the mustang out of the name yet

[urban pond]

not yet

[dire shard]

ree

[urban pond]

i dont care about them calling it a mustang because they still make the actual mustangs

[dire shard]

yeah

[silent oak]

I just want an outlaw esc car

[dire shard]

that's the silver lining to the mach-e: they actually offer it alongside the mustang
in contrast to chevy who killed the camaro and wants to make a camaro ev suv, stupid idiots

[urban pond]

and tbh i think the mustang logo on the front of the mach E looks better than a ford one would

[silent oak]

I hate how ford used mustang in the Mach e

[dire shard]

you could say the same for like every ford car, the ford badge isn't a particularly nice badge

[silent oak]

It’s not a Mustang

[urban pond]

plus the higher trim Mach Es get some big fucking Brembos

[silent oak]

It’s an abomination Imo

[urban pond]

eh i think its cool

[silent oak]

Im not an EV fan

I make it very apparent

[dire shard]

as far as ev's go, the mach-e is not that bad

[urban pond]

i have a very small selection of EVs i dont mind

i dont care for Teslas

[dire shard]

it could always be worse, it could always be teslers

[silent oak]

They are white machines

[urban pond]

the Mach E is cool, the Lucid Air aint bad

i dont mind the look of the Silverado EV

[silent oak]

Hybrid sports cars tho I love

The Acura NSX

Hmm gets a girl happy

[dire shard]

i always feel like the nsx hasn't dropped much in value, but it has

[urban pond]

the new Prelude is fucking junk tho

[dire shard]

yeah of course

if i wanted a hybrid civic i'd get the one with four doors lmao

[urban pond]

it looks great they absolutely killed the design

just everything else isnt there

also i quickly specced out a Mach E on Ford and it is actually kind of cool

good colour options and Brembos bigger than your forearm

[dire shard]

this looks like a car, i never liked the ones where they colour matched the grille

[silent oak]

Ewww a 4 door car with the mustang name

An EV worse

I’d rather drive the Nissan juke

[dire shard]

all i'm asking is for my cars to look like cars, why do all evs try to look like frogs man 😔

[urban pond]

i actually quite liked riding in one at Ford too

[silent oak]

And the juke is a car I’d rather self delete in

[urban pond]

its an EV i'd genuinely consider purchasing if i had to switch to one

[silent oak]

Didn’t they not sell well?

[dire shard]

yeah i'd consider it over any other option

[urban pond]

idk i dont look up car sales often

[silent oak]

The viper didn’t sell well but it was cool

[urban pond]

but apparently the Mach E sold better than the actual mustang in some years

[silent oak]

If I had money I’d get a first gen viper

[dire shard]

it shouldn't be surprising given the different natures of the two cars, but you also can't exactly cross-shop the two

[silent oak]

Happy Carlos Tavares didn’t bring the viper name in an EV

god bless he’s gone

[dire shard]

mach-e buyers are buying ev cuv's, not sport coupes

[urban pond]

apparently the Mach E is the is the 2nd best selling SUV EV in America too

[silent oak]

Tesla first

[dire shard]

well yeah, what else are they gonna buy 💀

[silent oak]

And Tesla is S H I T

[urban pond]

i think the issue with everyone is they're too focused on the Mustang name of the Mach E and refuse to look past it

[silent oak]

not that Tesla drivers were smart

[urban pond]

its a strong case of ignorance to see if you seperate the name from it, the Mach E is genuinely a cool EV]

[dire shard]

america has like, three american electric ev's and one korean one
that's it, the rest of the world has vinfast at the very least, if not byd, and jetour

[silent oak]

They had to use the Mustang name to get any sales

That’s the problem

[urban pond]

and it still sells better than actual mustangs

besides who cares

"but muh Mustang name"

[silent oak]

I’d buy an old 69 mustang

[urban pond]

if you werent going to buy a Mustang or a ford who cares?

[silent oak]

Atleast the 69 mustang is cooler

And I don’t feel bad crying in one

[urban pond]

thats the type of people i hate the most in the car scene

[dire shard]

i don't think it has anything to do with the badge
people are buying into it because it's the next best ev next to frog nazi model y

[urban pond]

those who complain about stuff but dont ever buy things new

[silent oak]

I hate Tesla because pretentious idiots

[urban pond]

even out of current SUVs its probably the best looking

[dire shard]

definitely

[urban pond]

plus its also fairly priced too

[silent oak]

I more so align myself with classic American cars not suv (outside Escalade)

[dire shard]

i appreciate that it actually looks like a car

[urban pond]

compared to something like the Ionic Suv from Hyundai

[dire shard]

speaking of those, i really haven't seen an ioniq 5 in a while

[urban pond]

personally i think Hyundai is sitting on a gold mine right now

[dire shard]

i think people know that, the ioniq 5 was received really well wasn't it?

[silent oak]

Haven’t heard good stuff about Hyundai

[dire shard]

it's received so well that they couldn't meet demand

[urban pond]

the 2.0T from the Elantra N/N Series as a whole is a pretty solid performing engine

[dire shard]

yeah the elantra N is really popular as well

[urban pond]

if they brought back the Genesis/Hyundai Coupe and threw that in there i'd absolutely consider trading my BRZ for one

the biggest "problem" people have with the "GRZ" platform is no turbo

[dire shard]

i hate that they took that away from us, but then i remember that they brought us the g70 and i'm at peace

[urban pond]

i dont think the BRZ needs a turbo its a really good car without one but them making whats basically a "turbo BRZ" would get a lot of people interested

especially in a market with RWD Sports cars dying out

[dire shard]

that's a good point, why don't they make a small coupe with the 3.3t

[urban pond]

either make a coupe with the 2.0T to go after the BRZ/GR86 or the 3.3T to go after the Nissan Z

or have both like the Genesis coupe did before

[dire shard]

yeah they could do both, they did that with the stinger

[urban pond]

my buddy has a Stinger with th3 3.3T in it and its an absolute blast to drive

[dire shard]

i bet, that's the dream

it's a shame they killed it so quickly

that new genesis body style in a coupe, it'll come out like something that looks like a bentley

[silent oak]

Any good Korean cars? I haven’t heard much good from them

[ripe lagoon]

coxk

[silent oak]

This is coming from a Japanese mf there’s bias here

[urban pond]

its a good looking car too i think it would have done better if it wasnt a Kia

[dire shard]

i recall that hyundai has a funny issue with metal shavings in their engines, i'm not sure if that's still a problem
otherwise, the elantra N and veloster N are very highly celebrated, obviously the entire genesis lineup is very well known at this point, and the korean EV's are also decent cars

[urban pond]

Genesis cars look good too

[dire shard]

sucks that brand perception plays such a role in people's decisions, because most people would say the same: the stinger was great in pretty much every single way aside from the brand

[urban pond]

i wasnt sure about the weird split light thing they had going on but they're good looking luxury cars

[silent oak]

If I’m in the market for a car, first thing is cool car then everything else

[urban pond]

i mean look at Kia and their line up

its incredibly hard to make an actual good performance car when your brand isnt entirely known for doing so

or rather its harder to sell than it is to make

[urban pond]

i used to be like that until i actually thought more about the car i was buying

if i dont like the interior i dont like the car

[dire shard]

see to me, kia's current lineup is actually kind of awesome, like the k5 and telluride are super popular
but to everybody else, kia is still perceived as the shit-tier brand that korean brands used to be in the 2000's

[urban pond]

entire reason why i dont drive an S550 or a 370Z

[urban pond]

my sister had a 23 Seltos and that shit the bed so i dont know if i'd get a Kia nowadays tho

but i wish the Santa Cruz did better tho

[dire shard]

well the maverick crushed the santa cruz's segment lol

[urban pond]

true

also looking at Kia rn on the site

and i dont hate the K4 Hatch as much as i hate the Sedan version

[silent oak]

I grew up in shitboxs in Japan

Interiors were pre ruined

Smoking smells are normal to me

[dire shard]

kia definitely still has issues, their glowup is relatively recent
as much as i think their current lineup is cool, i wouldn't buy a kia/hyundai that wasn't a genesis because i know the genesis is where they give all their fucks
but at least my pov is, people place far too much stock into the brand so much so that their loyalty blinds them from other opportunities and also gets them fucked when a brand like chevy decides no more camaros for you

[silent oak]

Isn’t Kia hard to insure

[urban pond]

im only interested in the Elantra N in terms of Hyundai currently

[silent oak]

Especially with a lack of immobilizer

[dire shard]

yeah, i think that's because kias used to be the most broken-into car brand lol

[urban pond]

if i wanted a 4 door thats what i absolutely would have gotten

[silent oak]

I just want a coupe car im single with no worries

Well depressed

But that’s not the point

[dire shard]

melon had an elantra N, i don't know if she's traded it for a kona N yet

[urban pond]

my mom has the N Line and its pretty neat

i just dont like the Cluster on the Kona Ns

[dire shard]

can't ask me i don't like the look of the entire car 💀

[silent oak]

I don’t like Korean cars

[urban pond]

like its not a bad interior the seats are quite comfy on the Kona N Line but its not the best interior wise

[silent oak]

Looks fine..

Passable

[dire shard]

oh my gott

are those buttons

\😱

yeah it looks fine

[silent oak]

I want classic cars because the buttons are clicky

And knobs are half broken

I want a car I can drink in

[urban pond]

its really just the cluster im not a fan of

[dire shard]

ipad

[urban pond]

looks too far sunken in

[dire shard]

im sick of tablets arghhhhhhhh

[urban pond]

im happy with mine Screen wise, its not too busy and shows me everything i want to see

as long as i got a good Phone connection for music thats all im happy with

[silent oak]

Makes me enjoy classic car stuff lmao

[dire shard]

it's just the reality today

[silent oak]

Not the carb stuff

And not e fuel injected

[dire shard]

the one downside of the s650 is that they put two massive tablets in it mercedes-style

[urban pond]

but the cluster is fully customizable so thats pretty cool tho

[dire shard]

ah yes ipads for my car

[silent oak]

The s550 is best

[urban pond]

i think as long as its dones in good moderation

like a regular tablet for Radio/Nav controls is fine

[silent oak]

Not as pretty as the s197 models

[dire shard]

like a small screen in the center? i like the way lexus and mazda do theirs

[urban pond]

as long as Climate isnt through the touch screen thats fine

[silent oak]

I love this

Basic and simple back to the gold year of Mustang

This model is Manuel too!!

[urban pond]

im happy with my interior wise, the touch screen isnt invasive and everything i need to use isnt distracting

my only gripe about my car is that Japan got the Auto Folding Mirrors while NA didnt

[dire shard]

yeah the new zd8 interior is great

[urban pond]

im still mad tho about the BRZs

i bought mine in 2024 new and then now the release a Yellow Edition. the one colour i absolutely wanted the most

[dire shard]

if a little cheap, but in the interest of keeping costs down it's good

oof

[urban pond]

but i wish Subaru/Toyota werent so lazy with their special editions this generation tho

[silent oak]

Toyota is lazy cuz they have constant customers

And notably boring cars

I’d rather blow my brains out in one

I’d add some color

[dire shard]

wonder if they'll come out with a new cool khaki grey for the zd8
