Cause he drove that with those wheels on around town
blissful lagoon
Oh you mean the spacers
hybrid charm
he even has a tag from the shop that machined these aluminum buggy wheels for him
blissful lagoon
And yea they basically welded a disc on to fit the spacers
blissful lagoon
Imma say this once, he went to a wheel shop, bought some buggy wheels, brought them back to his farm, welded some disc on to fit the spacers, and then proceeded to drive it
hybrid charm
Yes, and the wheels were custom made, not prefab
every single passenger carriage in existence weighs under 1,500 lbs.
the hub and spokes would not need to be made out of aluminum otherwise 
hybrid charm
blissful lagoon
It is made by a wheel shop, as said in video
He literally bought them and all he did was put a disc to fit the spacers
hybrid charm
You're arguing semantics when you don't know what you're typing about,
when they tried with normal wheels you can buy in a shop, they fell apart
so he paid $$ to have those aluminum ones custom made by that shop
an order # is not provided unless something is going to take more than a couple of days to receive
Which implies someone is machining the wheels

A 911 will have a better driving experience than a gtr and imo they just are so iconic that I would grab one eons before a gtr if they cost the same.
Demons are only 80k because they are just a big ass engine, and they only care about what makes it go

Yep. Depends what type of car you're after. GTR is pretty far down on the list regardless if youre after speed/acceleration or a drivers car

i'm so confused who made that up
proper elbow
Porsche is one of the de facto sports car manufacturers. They've been using the exact same formula since the early 1960s.
It just works.
old sedge
There people who say Porsche is reliable, like how Toyota is reliable in the mass production car segment.
kind osprey
Yea they didn't change the formula but Toyota has, they outsourse a shit ton of stuff but that anaolgy would work in the late 90's

But older Toyotas are more reliable.

Ofc they are

Porsches and other german cars can be reliable but they still can be hit or miss, when they do break they break hard.

We even have businesses that will rent out a bay with a vehicle lift and tools for do-it-yourself repairs.
old sedge
The only maintenance we do here is tire change.
And tire rotation.
Do you know that we don't even refuel our cars on our own when we go to a gasoline station? There are gasoline station attendants who refuel the cars for us. 😅
They also add or reduce tire pressure for us.

My goal is to have at least 1 exotic car. Which car is considered exotic?

Neither the viper nor the corvette
old sedge
I mean not just those 2, anything besides the Italian supercars?
proper elbow
Anything rare imo
old sedge
Is Porsche exotic?
old sedge
Oh.
I thought exotic cars are supercars or hypercars.
Especially the Italian ones or which have performance similar or better than those.
Agera is a great example of exotic car.
proper elbow
I'd say any Koenigsegg would qualify as exotic
But people have their own definitions of exotics Im sure. Like some people would consider any Lambo or Ferrari exotic probably.

BMW M3 GTR would probably be an exotic.
Maybe I should marry a rich Italian to get an exotic car. 🤣
Just kidding, I would marry for love but the very close friend I'm looking for is Italian.

old sedge
Oh, speaking of V8s, which would you choose?
Large N/A engines with 6-8 cylinders or small turbocharged engines with 4 cylinders providing they have same or almost same hp and torque?
proper elbow
Depends on platform
old sedge
I prefer turbocharged because it's turbo and smaller engine means better fuel efficiency.
proper elbow
Trend of LS-swapping everything is getting quite tired imo.
old sedge
Imagine a Chevy Suburban with a 2.0 I4 twin-turbocharged engine? 😂
proper elbow
No thanks
old sedge
I guess a small engine is bad for big vehicles even if the engine is actually very powerful
hybrid charm
large, I could turbocharge it later and it wouldn't be a time bomb like turbo 4
old sedge
The turbo whistle and the turbo valve sounds are the best.
old sedge
Large engines with 6-8 cylinders are rare here due to high fuel costs, not to mention diesel engines are popular here due to their lower fuel costs and fuel efficiency so people here choose the midsized(2.0-3.0) I4 turbodiesel engines which most SUVs here have.
And I had an idea before of a car with a turbine jet engine instead of a piston engine but I guess it would be dangerous...
kind osprey
Large engines with 6-8 cylinders are rare here due to high fuel costs, not to me...
Diesel costs less there???
there has never been a day in my life where I saw diesel cheaper than gasoline per gallon.
old sedge
Depends on the place(not all have same prices) but around 0.79 USD? Not sure.
Or 0.94 USD? I'll check again when I go out
kind osprey
what country is that
old sedge
Ph
Here, diesel is cheaper than gasoline per gallon.
That combined with diesel's lower fuel consumption and higher torque are the reasons why people here prefer diesel over gas.
kind osprey
interesting
old sedge
That's why most SUVs(especially mid-sized SUVs) here are diesel. Toyota was the only one which offered gas engine for a mid-sized SUV here but it got discontinued most likely due to low demand.
Like out of 10 buyers, only 1 would buy the gas variant of that SUV, the rest will buy the diesel variant.

9M311M (3M88): Improved version of the missile.
9M311-M1: Used with the Tunguska-M1 radar proximity fuse for improved capability against cruise missiles. Pulsed tracking light instead of constant flare for better resistance to infrared countermeasures. Range improved to 10 km.

@hybrid charm the main reason why vics were muscle cars was because 1. The mustang was the pony car of the trio, 2. The Torino (the proper muscle car) was canceled, and 3. The dodge charger turned into a luxury car at that time
So the vic became a 2 door V8 slingshot of 70s and 80s spongecake suspension
It was more sporty than the competition to say the least though just because it was fairly smaller

Is Bentley better than RR?
Rolls Royce and Bentley have been almost the same company from the early 1900’s to the time they departed into different parent companies, Rolls Royce to Bmw. Then Bentley to the AG group (Volkswagen)
For that span of time Rolls Royce was like the old people plushy luxury
And Bentley was an equivalent of how amg is to Mercedes
Bentley’s were the same car but usually higher power and more sporty.
Bentley started out in racing and have a huge racing heritage, so they have always been about speed all around. However they are more of plushy grand tourers than an acutely supercar.
Similar to Aston martin coupes

When you get to higher end trims Bentley’s can be more. But more mass produced models such as the Continental GT are the best bang for your buck compared to rolls Royce’s two door coupe counterpart
In the end it’s about what you desire in a car and what you prefer. Because anybody buying a new Bentley or Rolls isn’t considering price as a factor
Rolls Royce uses custom chassis and relies less in BMW now so they are only gonna feel better and better.
Bentley has always been I guess my style over the two. Bentley’s are more subtle and have that huge racing heritage still tied into the dna of the brand till this day.

Rolls Royce is one of the most prestigious luxury vehicles after all

Back then every car manufacturer used to be the most prestigious luxury vehicle because they were all toys for rich people. As the car became more and more popularized those ultra luxury brands seemed to meet their maker between the world wars. The ones that survived usually became more affordable and lost their touch in order to appeal to a broader market. I feel like the only four companies off the top of my head who stuck to their roots 110% and didn’t sellout cough Cadillac cough are Rolls Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin, and Bugatti
Companies like Cadillac, Lincoln, and Maserati used to be the highest end of prestigious like Bentley and Rolls Royce but they soon were bought out by other brands and there was more money in just shoving a cheaper vehicles chassis on them and keeping the luxury brand name.
That way you can sell the same car for $10,000 more
old sedge
Isn't Ford designed to be cheap so everyone could own one?
That was said to be the goal of Henry Ford
kind osprey
Yea Ford was more of a people’s car company and they delivered on that make making a shit ton of them and popularizing a personal vehicle
Now ford just makes average priced cars because the average is affordable, it hasn’t been an outlier in 100 years
old sedge
Many people here hate Ford because they say Ford is "unreliable".
kind osprey
Well in most cases they would be correct
Some platforms that Ford makes are bullet proof and can easily last hundreds of thousands of miles without too much crazy maintenance.
But the other half of the company strives to make dogshit
It was a much more prevalent issue back then
old sedge
But at the same time, many people here don't even read their car owner manuals so they just follow the scheduled oil change and gas and go
kind osprey
Like 80’s-early 2000’s
Well um what are you supposed to do besides general basics of taking care of the car
A ford isn’t going to survive just because you read it a bedtime story lol if they had an issue they were gonna fail
The main issues I could only assume were more on the electrical side
Much like Cadillac in that time period
old sedge
Many people here complained about one Ford SUV model here because of turbocharger issues
kind osprey
Cadillacs and Lincolns of that era in particular were horrendous you could turn on the radio and the windshield wipers would come on lol
It was one of the two that had that specific issue
old sedge
Wow, that's unusual.
kind osprey
How I see it is unless it’s Japanese, every car brand will have their croaking issues when the car starts to age.
Some more than others though
old sedge
Some people think Toyota can last decades due to old Toyota vehicles.
But I don't know if it's still good considering EU and US want a transition to EVs in 2030-2040 unless it gets delayed
kind osprey
The combustion engine I believe will still have use and reach it’s peak between 2040-2050 and then after that there won’t be much need for them in vehicles anymore.
They won’t ever be illegal to drive in most places since older cars get less restriction upon inspections on top of the fact that less people will own them over decades of battery improvements and density and how to replenish that energy.
The main issue with electric is still the same issue they’ve had since the 1800’s. Energy density.
Once we combat that issue with better and better batteries along with faster charging, that is all we need
old sedge
The slower charging sure is a disadvantage compared to refueling time of a combustion engine.
Even 5-10 mins of charging time is slow compared to refueling a car with combustion engine.
kind osprey
Nah if we can charge from like 5% to 80% in only 10 minutes thats actually faster than a gas car depending on the battery density, and range of the car usually due to the shape
old sedge
How about hybrids and hydrogen powered cars?
kind osprey
Hydrogen probably isn’t going anywhere huge but the concept technology is interesting
kind osprey
Hybrids will in the future be electric/solar or electric/hydrogen
Gas hybrids will die out with gas
kind osprey
But the time to refuel a gas car itself takes only seconds.
Maybe a dirt bike xD
old sedge
Nope
kind osprey
My grand Cherokee takes like 4 minutes to fill
old sedge
Well, cars here aren't really big
kind osprey
It takes a while to get 16 gallons out of a little filtered regulation meeting nozzle
old sedge
Because more than 95% of cars here are imports and taxes on imported cars here are extremely ungodly so Grand Cherokee here is expensive as hell.
kind osprey
Singapore?
old sedge

Philippines?
old sedge
Sadly, yes
kind osprey
I didn’t know they had one of those overpriced taxes on cars there
old sedge
They do.
kind osprey
A Toyota Camry in Singapore is like $74,000 or some dumb shit like that
It’s absolute theft
old sedge
A Honda Civic Type R here costs $66,209.30, a Mustang 2.3L Ecoboost here costs $59,505.08
kind osprey
You basically pay double what the car is worth in tax unless it’s electric I think
So what are you allowed to drive there that doesn’t cost a fortune due to theft tax
old sedge
Singapore's reason is to regulate traffic flow and I think that's quite understandable considering how small Singapore is and the public transport there is really, really nice and safe so people there don't really need cars there.
Our gov't's reason for imposing ungodly taxes on imported cars is not to regulate taxes, it's to protect locally made cars.
But Ph car brands failed anyway.
kind osprey
Singapore's reason is to regulate traffic flow and I think that's quite understa...
I guess having a good public transportation system justifies nit needing a vehicle but having a tax that large on a car is never okay in my book
I hate how I had to be born into the most expensive hobby, couldn’t I just like drawing, or dancing or something
old sedge
And recently, our gov't imposed additional safeguard tariffs on imported cars damn it.
That's why in youtube and disqus comments of car review sites, I'm calling out on people to boycott our car industry so the gov't will be forced to remove it if enough people boycott it or it will cause damage to the industry if they don't.
kind osprey
Yea taxing something as necessary as transportation just ruins the way a country looks unless you have mono jet trains and spotless fast ass transportation in every single area
old sedge
We don't. People justify it because transport here is reasonable and easily accessible but public transport here(they're called jeepneys) are obsolete and unsafe. Many of them don't even have blinkers, headlights and brake lights, they're heavy smoke belchers as well.
kind osprey
Rip
old sedge
And while we just made Euro 4 as our standard last 2017, Europe is pushing for Euro 6.
And since you talked about a Toyota Camry, a Toyota Camry's lowest trim here costs $39,267.53. Its engine is 2.5L gas engine which is not even the new 2.5L Dynamic Force engine so the Camry's engine's output is only 181hp and 231Nm of torque.

It's refreshing
Knowing all that stuff
We need a school of carz
Not just "mechanical engineering"
Anyways, idk much abt cars tbh, at least compared to you guys who had this long ass convo

i usually dont read stuff thats longer that a sentence thats why i always get books with pictures
hybrid charm
You and epik had a full on convo dude
I mean
You might not be an expert in fixing cars
But well y'all know much about cars in general

That long convo ended up with me ranting about import and safeguard taxes imposed on imported cars here.

The futuristic cars look weird sometimes
And sometimes some features don't even make sense

tbh im pretty sure it will have like an autopilot that can do it

Yea
Automation is better too actually
Would be lot faster
And safer
And it won't be your fault if u hit smthn/someone
It'll be the manufacturer's

unless you install a transporter autopilot
what would kinda suck is that everybody gonna own a vehicle
since you probably wont even need a licence for it
so unless they find a way to make traffic flow driving anywhere would probably be slower then walking

Traffic flow will be smoother

Becuz, robots can communicate faster than humans
You take 20 sec to speak a sentence, and robots can send thousands of info in just a sec
So like, there won't even be red lights at cross sections
They'll just keep going smoothly

Don't really watch him that much, course i did watch when he announced when he was moving
That was a while back

For some reason, I couldn't understand why he would have a video title saying that Toyota is the most reliable in 1 video then a week later, another video he would upload has a title about why Toyota is not reliable.

It might be about certain cars that toyota built
He'll say toyota is 1# reliability and then talk about certain Toyota's that were turdyotas

yea
only a handful legal in the u.s
plus not many were made
once it becomes legal in 2024 i think prices are gonna skyrocket
supply cannot meet demand

Yeah not like they can build more
Some young people will probably buy it and have to sell it due to high prices
terse axle
i can walk about 500 meters and theres a skyline
barren hawk
an r34?
terse axle
idk
think so
dont know if its an r34
but its a skyline
i have seen one driving past me before tho
barren hawk
mhm nice
old sedge
I have a question though. Why was the Skyline GT-R R34 banned in the US?
barren hawk
25 year import law
back then u were free to import any car u wanted
just had to go through testing
but most people forgot
and motor wrecks got greedy
with their imports
they were only approved to import r32s at the time
and then they just brought r34s and r33s telling them they were r32s
i think
old sedge
Oh...
I wish car imports have no custom duties and import taxes but those are illusions now.
Heavy import taxes and custom duties would just encourage people to smuggle cars.
mossy mesa
VIPER!! YEAHH!! <:yay:375682842404847618>
U want more?
barren hawk
They were never crash-tested or emission-tuned to america's standards
motor wrecks didnt or people in general didnt
barren hawk
any car younger than 25 years cannot be legally imported
unless
u have over 1 mil
u pay all those fees and the cars price
mossy mesa
They can also be imported as show cars but u can only drive them for limited miles every year
old sedge
1mil? Then what about the Toyotas in the US?
mossy mesa
What bout em?
barren hawk
1mil? Then what about the Toyotas in the US?
any car that isn't for sale in the U.S younger than 25 years cannot be imported

You mean cars that are not being sold in the American market which are younger than 25 years? Such as cars which are sold only in Asia?

Like look what Toyota did to the Corolla's infotainment system here. Mind you this is the most expensive variant.
mossy mesa
Ohh right
jagged sentinel
But honky is funnier
mossy mesa
U jokin
jagged sentinel
So we say that instead
jagged sentinel
That should not be the most expensive option
old sedge
I'm not joking
jagged sentinel
All you need is bluetooth imo
Hell, an aux cable will do fine if I'm going to go that route
mossy mesa
Yeah
jagged sentinel
iirc you can stream radio channels through the internet
mossy mesa
Lol

Hell, even a Land Cruiser here has that kind of infotainment system.

Just get a Bluetooth speaker buoy that's gonna do better

On the topic of prices, hopefully the 7th generation camaro is more of a camaro then the current one
jagged sentinel
This isn't the first time they've put the camaro ok hiatus
old sedge
Is Camaro considered expensive or just a normal or affordable sports car?
jagged sentinel
The current generation camaro is approaching corvette levels of pricing and performance
that's not what it's supposed to do
jagged sentinel
If that's the case, then it might not make many sales
It isn't
mossy mesa
I hate the new GM grills
old sedge
Those 2 cars would have "internal competition"...
jagged sentinel
They sold significantly less camaros then challengers and mustangs
mossy mesa
They don't look too good now
old sedge
I would choose Corvette over Camaro
mossy mesa
Dodge is selling the Hellcat
jagged sentinel
2017 was the last year the camaro looked good imo
mossy mesa
Ez money for dem
jagged sentinel
Dodge is doing their own thing in the sports car scene
mossy mesa
Yeah
old sedge
How will Dodge replace their Viper?
jagged sentinel
Officially, they're competing with the mustang and camaro and what not
mossy mesa
Hellcat in a minivan
jagged sentinel
But on the down low
mossy mesa
They won't
jagged sentinel
We both know that dodge doesn't really care much about what the competition is doing
mossy mesa
Yeah
jagged sentinel
See dodge challenger hellcat, see jeep trackhawk, see dodge demon, see dodge viper, see ram TRX
old sedge
At least they really care for their customers. Am I right?
mossy mesa
Meh
jagged sentinel
The hellcat was kinda a shot in the dark
old sedge
And I'm really tempted to buy a Ford but people complain about its reliability issues.
jagged sentinel
They had no idea what was going to happen with the hellcat when put into the market
mossy mesa
That's true
jagged sentinel
But to their surprise, it sold. Very, very well
old sedge
But Ford says their cars are tough, that's why their slogan is "Built Ford Tough".
mossy mesa
It's still selling
jagged sentinel
It's still selling
Indeed. It's the reason we have shit like the track hawk, demon, and the late TRX
jagged sentinel
With the TRX being a thing now, it means chevy is the only one without a balls-to-the-wall performance offroad truck
old sedge
Chevy is struggling to sell their cars in SE Asia...
mossy mesa
Yeah
jagged sentinel
Chevy is mostly focused on the US and Canada
mossy mesa
U seen the new Tahoe?

Chevy cars here are cheap but only few people buy those still.

Oh god, the Chevy Blazer

I miss Hummer...

jagged sentinel
Chevy you done fucked up with the blazer
Especially since ford basically spit on your boots with the new bronco
mossy mesa
Honestly idk what GM is doin
jagged sentinel
I don't either
If they abandoned the camaro completely, it would hurt chevy's performance image
old sedge
Trust GM
mossy mesa
Honestly I think Chevy was thinking of dropping the maro
jagged sentinel
They just need to tone the camaro down
Decreases the price, decrease the performance
mossy mesa
Yeah
old sedge
The windows are too small, I noticed that
jagged sentinel
It wasn't that
mossy mesa
Maybe
jagged sentinel
The C-pillars were completely compromising blind-spot
old sedge
But the Camaro looks really cool.
mossy mesa
Just maybe Chevy is working on a new Pony car to replace the maro
jagged sentinel
Drivers had to rely on technology
old sedge
Didn't they test windowless cars?
mossy mesa
Did they?
jagged sentinel
The law would not like that
We can't even use cameras as side mirrors
There are rumors that the 7th gen camaro could be electric
old sedge
Like what Mitsubishi is gonna do to Evo?
Although they want to make Evo an electric SUV

I would stop liking chevrolet as a company if they did that

But they have to
