[winged rivet]

ah hell yea

[old sedge]

Diesel fuel price has become more expensive than petrol fuel price in Ph now...

[kind osprey]

[old sedge]

If I buy a manual Supra, I should equip it with straight cut gears.

[main cosmos]

Equip it with a dual clutch automatic

[jagged sentinel]

If you want to be completely miserable 90% of the time

[proper elbow]

All the because racecar stuff is all fun and games until you have to daily the car

[final robin]

I'd still go 400z

[kind osprey]

over the supra?

the 400z is meh looking

[final robin]

I like that actually

It isn't offensive

The proportions are perfect

[storm stone]

Is that a Triumph? 👀

TR7?

[jagged sentinel]

Idunno

[storm stone]

I think it be one...

[blissful lagoon]

It is a tr7

[proper elbow]

How it started

How it's going

[errant hazel]

i hate it.

it needs air ventilation inside to start perfectly

the other day I saw a FD RX-7 with a race kit

[kind osprey]

Ooo

I rarely see rx-7’s in the wild

[dull siren]

same with RX-8s

pretty much hard to maintain unless you know how or knows someone because it's a rotary

like a very long time ago they are like common cars to find

and that's like in a town I'm living around at

then slowly they disappear

[dull siren]

now we turn it into a GT1 class vehicle

[winged geyser]

any idea what this car is

[kind osprey]

Whoever said this to you needs glasses

[kind osprey]

2009 Toyota Camry Solara

[winged geyser]

damn you're good

[kind osprey]

[old sedge]

I'm curious

What would be a good reason to choose Toyota Corolla over its bigger counterpart, the Toyota Camry besides unit costs?

[kind osprey]

Most car companies that have extremely popular long running sedan have two golden goose models. Where those two are so popular the rest are kind of outliers.
Volkswagen: Passat/Jetta Honda: Accord/Civic Hyundai: Sonata/Elantra
What all these different models within the brands have in common is that the first one I mentioned per company is the mid size sedan and the counterpart is the more compact sedan.

So the differences vary but usually with the bigger sedan it could come with more features, a v6 engine option, and of course more passenger and trunk space.

[old sedge]

Does a new Toyota Camry still come up with v6 engine in other countries like Japan, EU and US?

Here, the Camry's v6 engine got discontinued

[kind osprey]

The bigger sedans usually have a v6 option

[old sedge]

Oh

[jagged sentinel]

There's a V6 option is basically every car sold over here

[kind osprey]

but yea as engines becomes more efficient and everything is getting installed with a turbo, most smaller vehicles that don't need it will switch over to 4 cylinders

yea you don't see many 4 cylinder camry's here

[old sedge]

Oh wow, so it means a v6 Camry still lives there

[jagged sentinel]

That's probably the standard

[heady swift]

4cyl 4 lyf

[jagged sentinel]

I'm a V8 person tbh

[heady swift]

No need for big engines if you can slap a turbo in it and save weight

[old sedge]

But with fuel prices now, we gotta stick with 4cyl or maybe even 3cyl

[kind osprey]

Turbos only recently stopped being a nuisance, lag and other problems seem to be less apparent kind of like the great shift of how we stopped using manuals because paddles and dct's were so much faster

[old sedge]

By Ph standards, a 2.0 NA I4 petrol engine is presumed to be a gas guzzler already

[kind osprey]

the only downside of a turbo nowadays is gas mileage

[old sedge]

So for NA petrol engine, they want like 1.6L displacement or less when it comes to fuel efficiency, 1.8L would be the largest

[jagged sentinel]

It's not like V8s are all that good at that either

[kind osprey]

they kill gas mileage. So if you have an n/a 4 cylinder, a 4 cylinder with a turbo may be hard to get much over the v6 model

[jagged sentinel]

I mean yeah cylinder deactivation is a thing

But the cylinder deactivation systems from the big 3 all suck

[heady swift]

Small efficient turbo's are deployed for fuel efficiency, after market stuff for performance is what eats fuel

[kind osprey]

My grand Cherokee had that it ran with 4 cylinders most of the time

[old sedge]

The reason why turbocharged engines have great gas mileage in test runs by companies and ads is mostly they drive in a manner not to deliberately put the turbo into positive manifold or boost

And almost nobody drives like that in regular driving

[jagged sentinel]

Is cylinder deactivation at least manually toggleable?

[kind osprey]

Most city use doesn't require it

so it makes some sense

[jagged sentinel]

Or is it still more or less random

[old sedge]

I wouldn't say it's false advertisement because they did achieve that great fuel mileage

Honestly, I don't know how to drive like that

[kind osprey]

nope, not that i know of. It technically is if you just put it in sport mode, but the deactivation individually isn't

[old sedge]

I don't know how to drive in a way not to force the turbo into positive manifold

[jagged sentinel]

That's a common complaint I hear about it

[old sedge]

They say that it's about how we apply the throttle, that's all I know

[kind osprey]

If you want to run all 8 cylinders just shove it in sport, you weren't trying to save gas might as well send it

[jagged sentinel]

I don't know why it isn't just manually toggleable, seems like no-brainer

Instead of just randomly getting 8 cylinders when you only want 4

[old sedge]

Here in Ph, there's a saying that if you can afford to buy a car with 6 or 8 cylinder engine, then you can afford its fuel costs

[kind osprey]

Most people when they first get behind the wheel don't realize how utterly sensitive the throttle pedal is.

[old sedge]

So owners of cars with 6 or 8 cylinders here won't care about fuel mileage

[kind osprey]

The first time I drove a car on my own I forgot to shift it into drive, and mashed the throttle to the floor

[jagged sentinel]

There's like a 2-second delay between when I press the throttle and the car moves in what I drive

[kind osprey]

never let a 12 year old who played forza too much drive a real car

[old sedge]

That reminds me when I almost screwed up...

[kind osprey]

wut

[jagged sentinel]

My mom's Durango does it too, my dad's Cummins does it too but it isn't as bad

[old sedge]

I almost fucked up when backing up a car like a month ago

[jagged sentinel]

It's not quite 2 seconds

Probably closer to 1

Depends on how much I press the throttle

[kind osprey]

The throttles not going to be instant like a super car it's a 6000 pound honk of mopar plastic, but a full 2 second delay sounds oddly long

yea

[jagged sentinel]

I wonder if it's just a Chrysler thing

[old sedge]

I stepped on the throttle deeper than I normally did since the car has low acceleration if I step it the usual way which is med-light then the engine revved up really high

[kind osprey]

nah I've been in a few cars that have slight delay

[old sedge]

So yeah, I guess I experienced the throttle pedal being utterly sensitive

[jagged sentinel]

2 seconds was a little hyperbolic

[kind osprey]

it's not a chrysler thing it's just a I didn't buy a $250,000 Mclaren thing

[old sedge]

Good thing nothing get damaged and nobody got hurt

Btw, you guys prefer petrol over diesel, right?

[jagged sentinel]

Yes

[old sedge]

Same

[jagged sentinel]

Diesel is more expensive here

[old sedge]

Personally, I like petrol if we're gonna disregard costs

[kind osprey]

Diesel is only good for the type of compression needed in torque heavy applications

I like cars that are the opposite

no torque and light af

https://tenor.com/view/lotus-exige430cup-lotus-exige-lotus-lotus-cars-namaste-car-gif-14883490

[old sedge]

Because petrol is mostly faster than diesel providing they have same displacement size and both are turbocharged

[jagged sentinel]

"Diesel" and "sporty" ain't right

Plus it just sounds awful

[old sedge]

Because in many cases, petrol has higher hp than diesel if both are turbocharged but diesel still has higher torque than petrol

[kind osprey]

It's not right yea, they are used for two different things

[old sedge]

That's why in an old article I read, it states that diesel is like workhorse and petrol is like racehorse

[vestal garnet]

Diesel is good for suvs cuz of high torque

[jagged sentinel]

Though that doesn't really happen here

[old sedge]

For off-roading, still petrol?

[kind osprey]

That's not a bad analogy to start an introduction with to why one is suited better than the other for different activities

[jagged sentinel]

SUVs in America use petrol for the most part

[vestal garnet]

And better efficiency

[jagged sentinel]

Doesn't matter as much

Power isn't nearly as important when you're going offroad

[old sedge]

How about torque?

[kind osprey]

You don't really need diesel unless you need diesel. It's best to have regular petrol gas in a car unless diesel is necessary

[vestal garnet]

Diesel cars sound awful ngl

[jagged sentinel]

If you're going really slowly, a-la rock crawling, mudding, it especially doesn't matter how much power you have

Obviously you don't want 90 horsepower

[kind osprey]

The only thing bad about diesel cars are the prices of diesel here and the fact diesel doesn't to well in a extreme temperatures

[old sedge]

Most affordable large vehicles here are diesel though. By large, I mean vans, SUVs, pickups and so on. For the first time in history, diesel fuel prices is higher than petrol fuel prices here.

[kind osprey]

diesel here is a full 80cents-a dollar over regular, about 20 cents over the highest octane available

[jagged sentinel]

But something like a Pentastar V6 (~300 horsepower) will be perfectly sufficient for 99% of situations while offroading

[old sedge]

So if I'm gonna buy an affordable SUV here, I have no choice but to stick with diesel

[vestal garnet]

But diesel has better fuel economy

[vestal garnet]

Same

[kind osprey]

Which is why it's great for big trucks that get 0 to the gallon

lol

[old sedge]

In fact, the petrol van we bought last 2017 is the last model to have petrol. Petrol engines are discontinued for its facelift versions

[jagged sentinel]

Doesn't matter how you shape it, a big fuckoff semi truck isn't going to get very good fuel economy

[vestal garnet]

Yea

[old sedge]

A big semi truck and truck are not for leisure or road trips anyway, they are used for revenue or profit

[vestal garnet]

Gas guzzler 💀

[jagged sentinel]

Granted their fuel economy has Improved significantly over the last 20 or 30 years

Well, newer designs anyway

[old sedge]

That's why they're used for utility

[jagged sentinel]

They're used for transport of goods

[vestal garnet]

How about Hybrid pickup trucks

[old sedge]

It counts as utility, right?

[jagged sentinel]

They're the backbone of American industry in general

[old sedge]

Or like use for revenue or profit?

[jagged sentinel]

They get better fuel economy then normal petrol ofc

[kind osprey]

I know a few people who just own semi trucks

one person put an f750 bed on his

[jagged sentinel]

Those mfs ain't cheap

[old sedge]

Oh wow, those are expensive

[kind osprey]

new ones yea they can be ridiculous

[old sedge]

One of my young cousins wants to buy a 10 wheeler cement truck

[jagged sentinel]

But they come with some pretty badass tech to be fair

[old sedge]

I'm sure it is expensive as f

[kind osprey]

why would anybody want that

[old sedge]

10 wheeler cement truck?

[kind osprey]

yea

is he gonna use it for a business?

[jagged sentinel]

Other then to use it for cement work obviously

[vestal garnet]

Hybrid trucks would be a much better option than diesel

[old sedge]

I hope so

[jagged sentinel]

Depends

Diesel is better at towing then electric

[old sedge]

Here in Ph, trucks of this size are common

But I don't see much of these in the US

[kind osprey]

Hybrid sounds good on a first level pickup truck like an f150 or something but on a ram 3500 is something big af you want nothing getting in the way of towing capacity

[old sedge]

Not sure in Europe

[kind osprey]

Because they are inefficient and dangerous to the occupants

[old sedge]

Dangerous?

[kind osprey]

duh

You are the crumple zone in that thing

hit front first and you die

[proper elbow]

I mean, not exactly

You're sitting on TOP of the drivetrain/frame

It'd take an act of god for the front end to crumple enough to crush the occupant

[kind osprey]

This is fine

[kind osprey]

That is a death wish

I don't trust stuff with no hood or front

[proper elbow]

These are used commonly in the US. Most box vans I see here are on that type of chassis

[kind osprey]

aren't*?

the only place you will ever see these types of little trucks are big cities

[proper elbow]

No

[old sedge]

The bigger problem is many trucks like that which are old. I bet that many of these kinds of trucks in Ph are older than many of us here

[proper elbow]

Old trucks are fine if maintained properly

[jagged sentinel]

Yeah, mostly because you weigh at least 5 times the vehicle you are about to hit

[old sedge]

Would it be same when it comes to emissions test?

[proper elbow]

Yes

[jagged sentinel]

Emissions tests on old cars in the US are way more lax

[proper elbow]

Idk how it's done in PH but there are different methods for testing emissions on older and newer vehicles. Sniffer vs OBD readiness, etc

[jagged sentinel]

They either just don't test them or rate them on how they're supposed to have ran when they were made

[old sedge]

Oooh

What I know is here in Ph, Toyota is top choice for passing emissions tests

Mitsubishi and Isuzu are not so much

My dad's friend owns a 2017 of this Mitsubishi van
https://www.zigwheels.ph/car-news/2019-mitsubishi-l300-will-start-from-php-770000

[proper elbow]

Speaking of Mitsubishi... It's hard to find parts for these fucking things. Can't find a new steering gearbox anywhere in the US

[kind osprey]

Speaking of emissions, I sincerely would like to say fuck you to anyone driving a car that smells like absolute ass on the street by removing components for 6 extra horsepower, you are not a racer you're a cunt

[proper elbow]

The steering gear is literally discontinued

As is the fuel pump

[old sedge]

And he's really maintaining it very much, including cleaning its exhaust or muffler and it's still unable to pass emissions test while my dad's 2004 model Toyota van never failed emission tests. Both are diesel btw

[proper elbow]

There's many reasons it may be failing emissions

[old sedge]

I'm not really familiar with emissions but I don't really know Toyota's secret of being a popular choice of not worrying about emissions tests

[kind osprey]

What is that for

[kind osprey]

They make good cars it's no secret

[old sedge]

Delivering goods like metals and so on. Btw, the rear chassis is not always like that when buying one of these, the rear chassis can vary depending on customer's preference

[kind osprey]

👌

[old sedge]

Maybe he should've gotten a Hilux 😅

[kind osprey]

idk if that would be legal here but it makes sense for different environments

lower speed, smaller or denser areas could use something like that and benefit from it more

[old sedge]

We had a van like that back then
https://www.topgear.com.ph/features/feature-articles/history-mitsubishi-l300-a36-20161205

But my parents sold it because its engine overheats when idling because of design flaw

Not to mention the engine is just below the front persons' seats

[kind osprey]

most vans like that have lots of overheating issues, especially the genius who decided having those types of layouts aircooled would be a good idea

[jagged sentinel]

I like loud motors but I'd never straight pipe anything

[old sedge]

So when opening the engine bay, the front cabin will be full of smoke

[jagged sentinel]

I like having some fuel efficiency

[old sedge]

Well, at least Toyota learned with their Hiace, their new Hiace van is no longer flat nosed van

[kind osprey]

The everyday scum bag in the old bmw or Infiniti g35 blower straight sulfur out of their exhausts are the main culprits

they need to tap a tree

[jagged sentinel]

At 40 miles per hour I presume?

[kind osprey]

preferable

idk how people think shit like that is cool

It smells like ass, not gas

gas is a good smell at times

[jagged sentinel]

I just need an O2 sensor in my exhaust

If I can make it sound better while keeping that then I'm all for it

[kind osprey]

Like if you aren't street driving and you just rip everything out like ChrisFixIt that makes sense to do

It isn't only the person behind the wheel sucking at life, it could also be just poor maintenance of the vehicle.

I just hate fart canons i'd rather the car be a quiet rumbler than sound like a complete joke

[proper elbow]

Straight piped cars smell good

Well not good good, but good in the same vein as burning rubber smells "good"

[old sedge]

And about this, I would say that drivers who just suddenly stop to pickup or drop off passengers in the middle of the road are cunts too

It is dangerous if the traffic is fast after all

[kind osprey]

Yea people have absolutely no respect for others around them and will just be assholes without a care in the world

and we just have to share the road with them

[hard bough]

Kill me now

[old sedge]

Right now, maybe biking will be good in short distance travels

[zealous raptor]

Will Honda parts work with Acura cars

[proper elbow]

Depends on the model/part

[heady swift]

in most cases yes

obviously a part designed specifically for one car won't on another

but honda and acura models share almost no differences, say from some bumpers or lights because of eu/us legislation

[old sedge]

And since Lexus is a luxury division of Toyota, they should carry the Toyota's reliability too, right?

[mint plank]

Yessir

Almost identical internally

Just the finishings + technology that's different

[old sedge]

If I can buy a Toyota LC, I would buy the Lexus version of it

[mint plank]

Ehhh

Toyota is more rugged

[old sedge]

Hmmmmmm

There is also a Lexus version of the Alphard

[old sedge]

Lexus looks more refined though but Toyota is more rugged even by looks

On the other hand, it's still sad that the Lancer Evo and the Pajero got discontinued
https://www.timesnownews.com/auto/car-news/article/mitsubishi-finally-bids-adieu-to-pajero-production-stopped/757954

Although in Ph, it's so expensive and underspeced so a top end Montero Sport/Pajero Sport will be a better choice because it gives more including higher engine output for less money than the Pajero

[loud spade]

My dad had a 2006 Pajero
He always complained about its fuel efficiency and had to get it repaired on multiple occasions, till he did one last time and sold it

[old sedge]

During that era, my parents always complained with Mitsubishi vehicles they got. First, the L300 and its engine always overheats on idle then they sold it to get another Mitsubishi van and it got repaired several times too like its doors won't open, the electrical system will fail upon start so everything will get turned off and my dad had to pound the engine for it to be able to start normally

That's why my parents hate Mitsubishi ever since

[proper elbow]

I've got a 2002 Montero (pretty much same thing just with a 3.5 petrol engine) and the MPG thing is no joke. I'm getting 15.2 in the city

[jagged sentinel]

Understandable

[proper elbow]

Mitsubishis are a pain ngl

Even finding parts for older models is tough in the US

I had to order a new power steering reservoir from Latvia 😩

[old sedge]

2 of my aunts' experiences about Mitsubishi during that time didn't help either. After certain years, their Mitsubishi cars were breaking apart, just like my parents'

[sage roost]

Mitsubishis aren’t known for being the most reliable, let’s say

[old sedge]

It's a shame because I still dream of owning a Lancer Evolution

Let's hope those are reliable

[sage roost]

lmao no

[old sedge]

Wait, they're not?

[sage roost]

Not really

[old sedge]

For reliability, I would go with Toyota, Mazda, Honda and Subaru

It was said that Mazda's reliability is underrated

And maybe Ford Mustangs are reliable too since many people who want performance cars buy those

[proper elbow]

Subaru

[old sedge]

People here flex having Subaru despite not being luxury brand so I thought they're reliable

[jagged sentinel]

They're not terrible

Obviously they're no Toyota

Yeah that’s awful

At least that’s your project car not your daily

Wow, I just discovered something... One rule of buying a brand new Ferrari is you can't buy or own a Lambo so keep that in mind so you don't get banned the next time you guys buy a brand new Ferrari. 😳

[uncut saddle]

bro what

[old sedge]

It's in their rules. You don't choose Ferrari, Ferrari chooses you.
https://www.autoevolution.com/news/the-strict-rules-of-ferrari-ownership-you-dont-choose-ferrari-chooses-you-141173.html

But the ban shouldn't stop you from buying a pre-owned or used Ferrari.

[uncut saddle]

god Ferrari has so many rules it's ridiculous

[loud spade]

You can’t buy a LaFerrari unless you own 5 other Ferraris

[old sedge]

Oh and one more thing. You CANNOT criticize them in any way, even if you are right. If Ferrari sees you criticize them in social media, then you're banned from buying a brand new car from them.

[uncut saddle]

are there like... children in charge?

[loud spade]

I think Buggati have a car that requires you own all the other Buggatis in order to be eligible to owning it

[old sedge]

And if you're too flashy with your Ferrari car in social media in a way that Ferrari doesn't like, then you're banned too

[uncut saddle]

Honestly, Bugatti is high end enough for me to find that reasonable

buying a bugatti means you have more money than some smaller countries

[old sedge]

I feel like Enzo Ferrari may be long dead already but his arrogance and bitterness still lives on. Remember when Ferruccio Lamborghini was pointing out the problem with a Ferrari car's clutch only to end up being insulted by Enzo?

Ferruccio Lamborghini did start his own car brand as a way of telling Enzo "Fck you" so there...

That would probably explain why Ferrari buyers cannot own even just one Lamborghini car

[uncut saddle]

[loud spade]

True. But you only need to own a Chiron to buy their 5.8 million dollar "Divo"

So it’s about 10 mil

[final robin]

Yea

[uncut saddle]

I wanted to say "do they realize that just tanks their sales?" but then I realized it's Ferrari and they have plenty of money already

[old sedge]

And according to this article, car collectors who have at least one Lambo are banned from buying Ferrari, no matter how many Ferrari they bought before buying one Lambo

Well, if Ferrari sees our convo now, then we'll be banned from buying their cars

[uncut saddle]

damn it, was about to buy one

multiple, even

[old sedge]

Oh well, I like Lambo more anyway

But wait

[uncut saddle]

guess I'll just have to spend my money at Lamborghini now

[loud spade]

Okay, let’s go buy some Lambos to piss them off

[old sedge]

If Ferrari car owners are expected to join their meetings

What if one of them brings a Ford GT40 instead of Lambo?

Ford GT40 has some bad history with Ferrari anyway

[final robin]

Yea jay leno has practically every other brand except ferrari for this reason

I guess these rules will just give Lambo an opportunity to surpass them

[final robin]

Yea

I dont think the modern ferraris are really all that special over other supercars

[uncut saddle]

I always found Ferrari to be somewhat

bland

[old sedge]

On the other hand, Lambo has strict rules too
https://www.hotcars.com/guidelines-lamborghini-owners-must-follow-and-some-the-employees-must-abide-by/

[final robin]

I like the 458 but other that i dont really like post 2010 ferraris

[old sedge]

Idk if violating these rules will also result in a ban or not though

But the "Owners: Don’t Make It Your Daily Driver" rule seems more like a precaution since Lambo is not designed for comfort

[final robin]

I dont think lamborghini is that elitist

[old sedge]

So if you're gonna drive a Lambo in a long drive, it will be uncomfortable for you

[final robin]

Urus is ok ig

[old sedge]

Probably since it's an SUV

But supercars are designed for high performance, not comfort after all

[loud spade]

Some of these rules are actual trolling

I doubt that’s real

[final robin]

Haha yea

[old sedge]

And I think this rule is given, it goes without saying that sensitive data must be protected.

I mean, handing out secret sensitive data to other people is illegal after all

[loud spade]

If they’re willing to commit to that, they must give their employees working devices

Separately from their personal ones

[old sedge]

And I agree with this

[proper elbow]

Lift kit finally shipped out today Backorders do be a PITA

[old sedge]

Which do you guys prefer for off-roading, AWD or 4WD?

[proper elbow]

4wd

4WD you have 2 high, 4 high, 4 high locked center diff, 4 low locked center diff

And then locking front/rear (if equipped)

AWD is just AWD with no gear reduction available (4 Low)

[old sedge]

Yeah, the driver has no control about making the car drive in 2WD or 4WD. I'm not sure if 4WD would still be better than AWD for everyday driving though

[kind osprey]

This is bullshit

[kind osprey]

4wd isn't preferable for sedans it just isn't needed awd is the best for regular use

[old sedge]

Like can't car buyers just buy the cars they can afford to enjoy them regardless of brands?

[proper elbow]

Apparently not

[kind osprey]

4wd targets traction loss in a different way than needed on a smooth paved road

[kind osprey]

How it should be, some people can be pompous dicks though

[old sedge]

Oh well

@real zephyr

I need to go to one of these one day

I wanted to go to the one in Texas but covid is a bitch

[real zephyr]

yes my friend got 2 vip tickets !!

[kind osprey]

💀

[real zephyr]

but i cant goo 😭

[kind osprey]

I forgot where to even watch it do i have to pay for a channel on cable

[real zephyr]

i’m not sure tbh, but i can drive by it and record it

[kind osprey]

Hearing those cars in person is a dream enough

My friend got to go to the Texas one he has a video somewhere that I have to find

[real zephyr]

aw that’s cute! let’s go!

There is one in Las Vegas in 2023 apparently

maybe i'll have the means to go to that one

[real zephyr]

[kind osprey]

I need to get out of the house more so 2000 miles away sounds like a fair way to achieve that

[real zephyr]

[errant hazel]

F1 engine intensifies

just the roar

MMMMMMMMM

[kind osprey]

That f1 was older too

[errant hazel]

true

[kind osprey]

they sounded the best in the early mid 2000's

[errant hazel]

but i still like the roar

[kind osprey]

the f2004

[errant hazel]

[real zephyr]

tru tbh i would just go on walks

and look at the crackheads

actually maybe not look..

[kind osprey]

That's exactly what my friend does, i'm like why are you downtown at night doing nothing.

then he's like

"it's just a vibe bro"

I can see his point but I usually like to go somewhere if i'm going to the main areas

[real zephyr]

it is thoo

the churches are beautiful too

i think st thomas was my favorite one to go in

[kind osprey]

Oh yea the historical buildings are really cool

it's funny to see them squished together next to 90 story skyscrapers

F40 shift knob

[proper elbow]

That'd be a very expensive shift knob I bet

[errant hazel]

just dont let people see you cleaning the manual stick (or sum like that. i forget)

[long wyvern]

Some ppl in the past didn't like when I posted pictures of rally cars on 2 wheels

In-game rally cars

[young compass]

Lol

[jagged sentinel]

I wonder how awful changing the clutch is on the F40 compared to an F50

For reference this is what changing/servicing the clutch on an F50 looks like

[old sedge]

They really have to remove the back just to change the clutch?

[jagged sentinel]

Apparently

[kind osprey]

Sounds like some shit Ferrari would do

[old sedge]

That looks really complicated

[main cosmos]

Looks easy enough

Just 4 bolts and a plug

[olive meteor]

Looks a bit like how you build airplanes, just that the cars don’t have a million wires

[jagged sentinel]

I would say and it doesn't cost as much

But that's a Ferrari F50, so

[old sedge]

I'm sure a Ferrari F50 is far more expensive than a Cessna 172

[jagged sentinel]

Just a bit

[old sedge]

Oh, right, new Cessna 172 is expensive

But how would the rear wheels work if it gets reattached to the rest of the chassis?

[jagged sentinel]

Rear wheels of what

[proper elbow]

It really is quite neat how they designed the F50

[jagged sentinel]

It's known for its almost cloud-like ride quality as well

[old sedge]

Ooooh

[jagged sentinel]

Short answer: they wouldn't

[old sedge]

European cars are said to be complicated after all

[jagged sentinel]

That F50 is a whole nother level of "complicated"

[old sedge]

Complex

[jagged sentinel]

One might say overcomplicated

One might say

Italian

[proper elbow]

IDK which is worse Italian or German cars

The huracan has eight oil drain plugs

[jagged sentinel]

They're owned by Audi remember

[old sedge]

It was said that for European cars, many components need to be removed just to do a simple oil change

[proper elbow]

On my old Audi you had to remove the entire front end to get to the accessory drive systems

[jagged sentinel]

Exhibit A

[old sedge]

Wow, you have an Audi? You are rich

[jagged sentinel]

Audis aren't rich person cars

[proper elbow]

^

[old sedge]

And that sounds really complicated

[old sedge]

Isn't Audi a luxury brand?

[jagged sentinel]

Not really

[old sedge]

I thought Audi is on the same level with Jaguar and possibly Porsche?

[proper elbow]

Jaguar yes, Porsche no

[jagged sentinel]

Audi is smaller then stuff like Mercedes and Porsche and BMW

They make nice cars

They don't make rich person cars per sé, just "nice" cars

[old sedge]

So Audi is not on the same level with Porsche in terms of luxury or high end brand?

[jagged sentinel]

No

[proper elbow]

Audi and Jag both cater to same market, Porsche is targeting a totally different type of buyer

[jagged sentinel]

I mean Jag as of late has had some pretty awful quality control issues

[proper elbow]

They always have

[jagged sentinel]

Same with Land Rover

[old sedge]

I was thinking that MB and BMW are the entry level for luxury brands and Jaguar and Audi are on higher level than those 2

[proper elbow]

That's why you see more old Jags with SBCs swapped in than you do with the original drivetrain

[jagged sentinel]

Benz is near the top

[old sedge]

How about BMW?

[jagged sentinel]

Below benz

[old sedge]

Oh, like what?

[jagged sentinel]

Mid-2000s Chrysler build quality

[old sedge]

And I think Jaguar went downhill. It's still a nice car brand but they did better during the old times than how they're doing currently

[proper elbow]

If I were to buy a new luxury car today it would definitely be a Mercedes

[jagged sentinel]

The new defender is having a really bad quality control issue

[jagged sentinel]

I'd pick a Cadillac

I don't think I need to explain why

[proper elbow]

All those bald eagles

[old sedge]

I would pick BMW or MB for luxury car

But if I'm to buy a supercar or hypercar, I will buy a Glickenhaus

[jagged sentinel]

Why not the established range

[old sedge]

Established range?

[jagged sentinel]

Lamborghini, Ferrari, Pagani, the big dogs in the supercar scene

Koenigsegg, Bugatti, etc

[old sedge]

I think Koenigsegg and Bugatti are more like hypercars

Same with the Tuatara

[proper elbow]

I still don't understand the difference between a hyper and super car

[jagged sentinel]

I have made a series of rudimentary boxes a car must check to be a hypercar in my mind

[old sedge]

If I understand it correctly, hypercar is faster. There was an advertisement I read before which says "hypercars can be supercars but supercars can't be hypercars"

[proper elbow]

Especially nowadays where every "exotic" car can surpass 200+ mph with ease

[heady swift]

they're arbitrary terms

mostly PR/media grabs

what a supercar/hypercar is today will change in 10/15 years

a sports sedan is all-around faster than any supercar from the 80s or 90s

I mean even contemporary sedans were able to keep up with supercars, look at the evo's and lamborghini gallardo/murcielago

[jagged sentinel]

For me a supercar must check multiple of these boxes:
More then 850 horsepower
Hybrid drive capabilities/battery assistance of some sort
Top speed of over 235 miles per hour
Limited or low-volume production
900,000$+ price

Doesn't have to check all of them, just has to check two or three

[old sedge]

Fair enough

And I wonder how handcrafted cars are more special than cars built by robotic assemblies...

[jagged sentinel]

Because they're handmade

[old sedge]

I think the Koenigsegg Agera is handcrafted

[jagged sentinel]

That's literally it

[heady swift]

special doesn't always mean better

[old sedge]

There was a documentary about Koenigsegg, his factory is small and no robots but idk if it changed or not

[jagged sentinel]

They're still in that airfield

[old sedge]

Did they put up robotic assemblies or still no?

[jagged sentinel]

Which is the perfect place for a company of their nature

[jagged sentinel]

Still handmade

[old sedge]

Ooooh

[jagged sentinel]

They've only built like 1,400 cars in their entire lifespan

[old sedge]

And about MB, I think the high level of MB would be the AMG or at least that's their performance division

An MB AMG would be more expensive than an "ordinary" MB

[jagged sentinel]

AMG engines are handmade iirc

[old sedge]

This AMG is so beautiful
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wZo78mt7Lk

That's what I heard

I wish I have a Corvette C7R

[jagged sentinel]

We aren't thinking of the same thing

[old sedge]

Hmmm?

[jagged sentinel]

https://youtu.be/Iz5JoGJaHMY

[old sedge]

Ooooh

I really miss the Viper

[jagged sentinel]

It's loud, but it won't get annoying after awhile like the Porsches will

[old sedge]

Sounds alright from inside

This car is amazing though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSE3zvraJi8

[jagged sentinel]

Skip to 1:26 or so on this video

[jagged sentinel]

Eeh

It makes a noise

[old sedge]

Wow, that's nice from outside

[jagged sentinel]

I get goosebumps every time I listen to it

[old sedge]

But it doesn't beat the BMW M3 GTR's sound

[jagged sentinel]

No, it sounds better

I get that this is a motor race and all, but there's no way this guy doesn't enjoy the sound at least a little bit
https://youtu.be/pxOl0b8K6FY

[old sedge]

That's the video I watched moments after you showed the Corvette video

[jagged sentinel]

[old sedge]

How about this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iw-BlVuUe-k&t=82s

[jagged sentinel]

It almost sounds Italian

It might just be the video

[old sedge]

Yeah, someone said that the engine sound is deceiving

Like you wouldn't expect a Corvette to sound like that

[jagged sentinel]

The C7R sounds so much better

Sounds way more American

The production C8 sounds good

[old sedge]

This car has the best engine sound in last year's Le Mans

Or rather it has aggressive tone

[jagged sentinel]

Sounds generic

[old sedge]

But anyway, the first time I watched this, I was like "Is this even a Corvette?"

[old sedge]

Guys, what do you think about Alonso in F1?

How much do s14s sell there normally

[jagged lily]

Not sure, there's not a lot for sale here

That's the 3rd one i've seen for sale

[heady swift]

looks awful

hood doesn't close, the front bumper has gaps and doesn't fit

if it's a 993 gt2 case where the plastic factory fenders bend and pull a little, sure

if you're actually buying it, I'd check the car's papers and see/drive in person

preferably with a friend

[jagged sentinel]

If a car like that I selling for 16k there's probably something quite wrong

Or a lot of things that are moderately wrong

Although it would fail if they did

How do people take high quality pictures of supersonic jets that are currently flying in the sky?

Um my real guess would be a camera attached to another plane with a gyro or some stabilization

[proper elbow]

Quite possibly the most disrespectful race ever

[mint plank]

usually from other aircraft, often refueling tankers

[stable harbor]

How do they take the high quality shot (it doesn't look liek it was taken from the window) without the camera being yeeted off

[mint plank]

the refuelling booms have cameras on them so the refueler can guide the boom to the receiving plane

like you can just heel tap the clutch if you want to be very fast

he probably chilling

[mint plank]

erm what

Thats an F-16

but if you're asking if the su-57 is scary?

short answer? no, it's fucking garbage

[mint plank]

long answer? its unproven, highly inflated speculated claims, hell, based off the recent victory day parade flyover calloff, it's not even an all weather fighter

If it's still working, why not?

[mint plank]

Yessir

and they're getting a service life extension that's gonna take them to 2070 and beyond

[old sedge]

I would fly B52 over Tu-95 because B52 is better, at least B52 doesn't cause its crews to have hearing problems

[mint plank]

lol

[fathom harness]

MKIV Supra @vestal garnet

[fading sigil]

Here's my pile of shit Diesel starting last winter.

[rotund sail]

Big friend

Its appearance is cool to me

Its wings being close to the cockpit and fuselage being skinny makes its appearance different

And the wing tips needing landing gears

[jagged sentinel]

It's also fucking massive

[jagged lily]

[jagged sentinel]

I don't even know what to say

Where do I start

How does that even happen

[lunar berry]

now, we see two beautiful adult automobiles, in their natural habitat that as remain the same for decades. breeding the next generation of their species

[jagged sentinel]

I can't even imagine what the spawn of a Nissan sedan and a Chevy SUV would look like

[lunar berry]

No yeah no seriously how tf did that happen

[jagged lily]

That's what happens when you spawn a vehicle in gta and it lands on you

I'm sure someone did that

[ashen carbon]

Yeah, they'll keep flying the B-52 as long as it's still cheaper to fly than say, the B-1.

It serves just fine for the low-intensity asymmetric conflicts that the US keeps finding itself in and is cheaper to operate than the more modern options, small wonder they're keeping it around.

[rotund sail]

Hope the next plane they use after the b 52 will still look as good

[rotund sail]

This perhaps

[blazing mauve]

ew a blue car

[rotund sail]

Leave

[blazing mauve]

no

[kind osprey]

what the f

uck

wdym

bad opinion

[blazing mauve]

i got a trauma with a blue car

[rotund sail]

What is the taurma

Blue is good color

[kind osprey]

I could be nearly skinned alive in one of these and i'd still buy one

[blazing mauve]

i used a blue taxi
but the driver was drunk and he's speeding
we crashed, but im fine
the driver not

[rotund sail]

Never get in a blue TAXI

Sus off the bat

[kind osprey]

taxi's are yellow here never heard of a blue taxi

[blazing mauve]

in my country, there's a blue taxi
no yellow taxi

[kind osprey]

And I could see not wanting to get in the model of the car you were in at the time of the incident but the color of a car is bit of a stretch

[blazing mauve]

i mean lots of blue taxis

[kind osprey]

Like if you got in a bad accident in a rav 4 I could see someone not wanting to be in a rav 4 because it would remind them

[blazing mauve]

the taxi car that crashed is a Toyota Avanza

[kind osprey]

but color is too broad of a thing

[rotund sail]

The red seats in a car with blue paint and blue brake calipers is an insult

Everything got to be blue if everything is blue

Da ba dee ba do dye

[blazing mauve]

blue tazi

*taxi

[rotund sail]

American taxi

[blazing mauve]

the blue taxi is bigger
but the car is so common in my country

[rotund sail]

Blue taxi is a van

Other is a car

Have you seen a crown victoria in person?

[blazing mauve]

Eons

Centuries

Like the ford transit

[blazing mauve]
