[fleet smelt]

and its a lot of instant torque

[misty mantle]

Yeah, that is true, considering she is a truck, a half-ton at that

[fleet smelt]

it also doesnt help that traction control simply doesnt exist lmao

on this model*

[misty mantle]

Was probably an option

Your uncle just chose not to get it

[fleet smelt]

maybe?
I dont know

thats true

I love the power seats and the extended cab

[misty mantle]

Yes, it was an option. GM just called it Stabilitrac

[fleet smelt]

SUV AC on the cab size she is is great in texas heat tho

also, thank you for that info

i didnt know that

[misty mantle]

Your welcome!

[fleet smelt]

yee!

[misty mantle]

I'm honestly more of a Ford guy, but my grandparents own a '96 Silverado 2500, so I know a bit of GM stuff

[fleet smelt]

thats awesome!

I like fords too, but i like GM more lol

[misty mantle]

lol

[dusky torrent]

real

[misty mantle]

Anyway, I gtg. Got stuff to do

[fleet smelt]

have fun chief! i had fun talking!

:D

[misty mantle]

See ya!

[olive estuary]

Anyone got a Tesla

I can’t drive yet

[dusky torrent]

Nope

I drive a 3er

[night current]

Nope, but I have a few close friends who own some and have been in plenty myself.

You got any questions about them?

[supple anchor]

No

[worthy saddle]

Here’s my two cars, ‘01 Celica GT-S w/6MT, and a ‘16 Scion tC w/6AT:

[fathom socket]

I didn't know vintage cars were so cheap

beautiful jaguars from 50s and 60s are just 5-30k?

[misty mantle]

https://tenor.com/view/hold-on-wait-a-minute-somethings-aint-right-hold-up-somethings-wrong-here-gif-17361118

[fathom socket]

nvm it was a bit , I'm not used to ebay

it's 138k

💀

[misty mantle]

Was gonna say, a Jag that is in good shape would go for way more than that

[fathom socket]

yeah I'm dumb

this one's cheap

but needs total restoration

@misty mantlewhat do they mean by replica

[misty mantle]

Its not the actual car, but rather one someone built from scratch

[fathom socket]

Damn

so it's one of one and costs 79k

[fathom socket]

it's built in 2022

💀

got 198 miles on ti

[stiff burrow]

@stoic ledge just saw a Mercedes a180 hatch, didn’t even know they made an a class hatch

[stoic ledge]

Actually the majority of A-Class sales in Europe

Also and A160

And in the past there was an A140 even

[stiff burrow]

Oh interesting

We have the a220 sedan in America and that’s it

[stoic ledge]

Newer A160/A180's have Renault engines

1.3 TCe

[stiff burrow]

😳

[stoic ledge]

Also diesels, A160d-A220d

A160d is a Renault diesel

Imagine driving a pReMiUm Mercedes and having the same engine as a Dacia

[stoic ledge]

Oh the A200 also, so only the A220/250 and the AMG's have Mercedes engines

And of the current model there's a PHEV, the A250e, paired with the Renault 1.3 TCe

@stiff burrow initially there were only "hatchbacks" of the A-Class, or more like some small taller hatchback, maybe even mini MPV

Sedan only came of the latest (forth) gen

Although maybe China also got s sedan of the 3rd gen, not sure (edit: no there was not)

And then since the 3rd gen the cOuPe versions, CLA and CLA shooting brake

[stiff burrow]

Oh interesting

[stoic ledge]

Heh yup, recalled and fitted with ESP as standard

[livid thicket]

I remember that story even, was big news over here especially

[stoic ledge]

Sandero Stepway 1.5 diesel

[stable dome]

Big sigh of relief today! My 2011 A3 went in for it's annual safety inspection and came away with an advisory free pass! 🎉 Not bad for 11 years and 156k miles!

[brittle totem]

Seems like a common thing on new volvos to. I have seen some articles about it here in Sweden when the brakes has just stopped working while driving. Seems to be a problem on most of volvos 2023 cars at the moment. https://www.motorsafety.org/volvo-recalls-cars-over-risk-of-brake-failure/

Looks very similer to the one my brother has as an test car at work but I guess that the one your picture doesn't have 500hp+ and parts on it that cost more then 10x the cars value.

[brittle totem]

Never heard of A140 i guess that's an Netherlands special🤔

[stoic ledge]

OOF

[stoic ledge]

Only on the 1st gen I think

A150 on the 2nd gen

3rd and 4th gen A160 lowest

iirc

[brittle totem]

Maybe that's the reason why the XC40 and Polestar 2 are the most scrapped ev in Sweden.

[stoic ledge]

[tired sundial]

Fastest drag race I’ve seen

[misty mantle]

Scrapped as in taken to the scrapyard because EVs are junk anyway?

lol jk

[brittle totem]

Is looks way slower then it really was both car went up to way over 200km/h at the end of the straight.

[brittle totem]

They did mange to get up 300km/h+ when they where testing the 911 992 turbo s.

[tired sundial]

Nice

I’ve been busy destroying my car

That’s why me offline

Thoes tanks are 250lbs each and I had a good 300lbs of boxes in my car wit me (173lbs)

And my car is rated 850 lbs max for passengers and cargo

(It’s got bad shocks so idc about them right now)

[timber oar]

Well if it didn't have bad shocks before it will after you drive it like that lmao

Well maybe it's hard to say

[winter fable]

I thought that was a food Oil tank for diesal vehicles then

[tired sundial]

That would be shocking

[tired sundial]

Air tanks

[civic spoke]

I want to put my summer tires on already.

[wispy cloak]

Still there

[bitter orbit]

this was in my brothers car rider line yesterday💀

[tired sundial]

So does anyone have an opinion on the 2023 Audi a5 sports back

[feral reef]

ehhh, looks nice?

[eternal cedar]

I don't like new Audis.

I want an H-pattern and next to no electronics. But that's not a popular opinion, so I get it.

[brittle totem]

Good Daily driver i guess.

[tired sundial]

I agree but I need to lease a new car that’s nice for work

[wide hemlock]

s40s have the worst bushings ever

trying to remove material and get this superpro bushing to work

[misty mantle]

Use a cutoff wheel on a dremel

[tired sundial]

I wana know what the heck happened to the 3rd one

[wide hemlock]

I was going at it like an ape

I'm prob gonna torch them

[tired sundial]

Idk I like the okapi brown interior and all black on the outside because I have to own a nice car (my boss is buying me it)

[winter fable]

what the god darn happend there, is that age or is this maintence

[wide hemlock]

20yr old bushings

[winter fable]

I mean makes sense now

[wide hemlock]

car on right

[winter fable]

the 3rd one literally looks like compost (bushings

[wide hemlock]

I was dremeling it

it was pretty bad too

[winter fable]

Im guessing the ones your putting a polyethene bushings?

[tired sundial]

I bet it was fun taking them off (you were thinking of using a grenade to remove em)

[winter fable]

the new ones

I think

[tired sundial]

Naw you got like 7 license plates on the right one

[misty mantle]

Ayo, AMC Eagle?

[wide hemlock]

concord

[misty mantle]

Ah

[winter fable]

Worst case scenario, you hear a mysterious. "PIN PIN PING WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZsSSHRST."

[wide hemlock]

they were awful

s40s have mitsubishi suspension so everything is easy but these were in a very lame spot

had to drop the subframe

[misty mantle]

They were expecting a shop to do it

[winter fable]

Thats a oofs

[misty mantle]

Not the owner of the car

[tired sundial]

Yea they need to make the bushing easier

[wide hemlock]

they prob bolted them on before the engine went in

in the factory

FTO swaybar for the s40

23mm

boutta be a new car

[winter fable]

are you doing only the front

[wispy cloak]

I had to partially drop the subframe on a rav4 this morning because the front bolt on the passenger side lower control arm was less than an inch too big to clear the oil pan

[wide hemlock]

new poly swaybar bushing all round

H&R lowering springs and Bilstien shocks

all new everything

[winter fable]

BILSTIEN

[wide hemlock]

every suspension component is being touched

[winter fable]

Gonna be grippy

[wispy cloak]

I have bilsteins

[wide hemlock]

I bought kyb for the spring mounts

[wispy cloak]

Bilsteins and leaf springs

[wide hemlock]

2g DSM brake calipers on a volvo

mitsubishi eclispse

even putting some oem mitsubishi in cause it was cheaper than oem volvo

[tired sundial]

So how’s your wallet looking

[wide hemlock]

negative

[winter fable]

Yikesss

I mean

[wide hemlock]

Ive been collecting parts for like a year now so not bad actually

getting painted like right after this

good little car

[winter fable]

Im thinking of buying MG Midget mk4 tbh

Because i like tiny classics

And this is a nice little car

[wide hemlock]

I got new suspension because I needed tires

and didnt want old broken suspension for new tires

[winter fable]

Makes sense

[tired sundial]

Okay so my daily driver I’m trying to clean it up make it look nicer

[wide hemlock]

Firehawk indy 500

[winter fable]

I kinda wanna change the rear axle of the MG if i get one

There so low

[wispy cloak]

Low gearing is good for acceleration

Just not fuel economy or speed

[winter fable]

I mean there nippy if you do it right

[tired sundial]

I got a dent in the door do you think I can pull off the side panel and pop it out or no

[winter fable]

like 1250cc is plenty

[tired sundial]

There isn’t enough air in them tires

[winter fable]

Depends how bent bent it is

[wispy cloak]

How big is the dent

[tired sundial]

It got a little bit of the frame it’s about the size of paper

[wispy cloak]

Yeah but 5.9 with factory 3.92s

[tired sundial]

It’s not to noticeable except the paint on the side bumper

[wispy cloak]

But how big is the paper

[winter fable]

I meaaaan

[winter fable]

Oh look its rear engined

[tired sundial]

I would say quarter a inch

[wispy cloak]

So it's like a quarter inch by a quarter inch?

[tired sundial]

Cheap Porsche

[winter fable]

Do you mean a paper clip

[charred depot]

320kg in a hatchback heh

[tired sundial]

No quarter inch deep

[winter fable]

Wtf did it come from

[wispy cloak]

But how sharp of a dent is it

[tired sundial]

His tire was agents my door so the width is tire size

[winter fable]

For some reason to me thats heavy and idk why

[charred depot]

engine, engine hoist, tools, other parts.

[tired sundial]

Not sharp

[wispy cloak]

I mean

[winter fable]

As in, what vehicle

[wispy cloak]

You could probably have it worked out by a pdr guy

[charred depot]

The engine is from a saab

[winter fable]

Diesel?

[wispy cloak]

But doing it yourself it probably wouldn't work

[charred depot]

Nah iron block though

[winter fable]

Thats

[wispy cloak]

Did that guy just hit your car and run

[winter fable]

Not that bad for an Iron block

I mean, Cast Iron cylinder head kinda scary though for some reason i find

Because I dropped it on my foot

with steel toe caps thankfully 💀

[tired sundial]

No he went to my old school he parked like that against my door I got the camra footage and got his grandpas number from the school

[wispy cloak]

Then his insurance has to pay for it

File a claim against him

[tired sundial]

I knew a guy who fixed dents he was going to fixe my hood dent for $10 but I moved

[winter fable]

Goh damn

Quick pop

[tired sundial]

No his grandpa gave me $3000 check

[wispy cloak]

Oh that works

[tired sundial]

It’s a sharp dent

[winter fable]

Ah

Well then

[tired sundial]

Yea I think I can pop it out and have free car lol

[tired sundial]

The hood one

I have 600 dollars worth of parts on order right now to fix my car up mostly

And I’m getting new shocks for it

[stoic ledge]

Shocking

[charred depot]

need to cut the support and take out my biggest fans to fit a intercooler :^ |

[tired sundial]

Yea it was

[civic spoke]

This video is oddly soothing. https://youtu.be/9UTe_iTdk8s

Just a guy doing his work.

[supple anchor]

What car is that?

[charred depot]

the best car in the world

[civic spoke]

Peugeot.

[charred depot]

couldnt be!

[supple anchor]

Yeah I hat Peugeot

What

[charred depot]

Peugeot 305

[supple anchor]

That’s pretty cool

It’s pretty clean

[charred depot]

One of the cleanest in the UK, although its not that big a competition

[supple anchor]

Haha

The car it’s self is a bit dirty but I’d say the paints in good condition

[charred depot]

I dont really wash cars just power wash

[supple anchor]

Haha

That does the trick

The car I bought the other day needs a bit of a polish and maybe proper wash

It needs a lot

It’s a bit of a shitbox

[charred depot]

Ive replaced pretty much everything on this car

[supple anchor]

Yeah

Kinda like my Jeep

Nothings been untouched in that thing

[charred depot]

Sat in a barn for 20 years ex taxi with dead engine

[supple anchor]

Cool

How many miles?

[charred depot]

155k

[supple anchor]

That’s not bad at all

When cars get to be a certain age mileage doesn’t matter

I think at least

[charred depot]

Its getting another engine and gearbox as part of an upgrade im doing

quite slow with the N/A diesel it currently has

[supple anchor]

Turbo swap?

[charred depot]

yeah

[supple anchor]

Sweet

A couple miles were put on my car

But it’s a Volvo so it’ll be fine

[civic spoke]

Since when doesn't a Volvo have enough miles on it to get it to the moon?

You're a tad beyond that. Just a tad.

[charred depot]

I dunno my friends owned quite a few 740's and 940's and always had issues granted minor with them

[civic spoke]

Such a classic car.

[charred depot]

Friends 360 has a 240 engine

[civic spoke]

I've seen a couple of P1800's. And it's always a treat seeing one on the road.

[charred depot]

2.3 on bike carbs

[supple anchor]

Cool

[supple anchor]

It’s got character

The dashboard gives a fun light show

[charred depot]

it has a check engine light, how terrible

I do want a 940/740 but I also desire fuel economy

[civic spoke]

Troubleshooting older cars is an art.

Considering the lack of OBDII

[charred depot]

honestly ive never really had to use my brain

[civic spoke]

It depends on the issue.

[charred depot]

old diesel engines are the best

[alpine hare]

redblock ftw

[civic spoke]

I miss old 80's cars. Nothing like them around anymore.

[charred depot]

My BX seems timeless to me

It looks like it could have been sold in like 2002

[alpine hare]

BX's are cool, my mate had a red one on bags

[charred depot]

Are you sure it wasnt just stock.

they go up and down from factory with hydropneumatics.

[alpine hare]

Ah, that could be it

[civic spoke]

And they love to fail.

[charred depot]

not really

[civic spoke]

It's a common failure point. They get tired over time. And end up on the ground overnight.

[charred depot]

are you making a joke here or

Sphere recharging costs very little and in more extreme cases sphere replacement is cheap

even now

They will stay up for a pretty long time with spheres in good condition

[alpine hare]

My 940 @charred depot

[charred depot]

days

I have the full invoices for my BX and Xantia. BX being on 180k miles and Xantia 235k miles the work done to them is pretty minimal.

[civic spoke]

I forget what kind of work that we had to do to the XM that we had.

[charred depot]

The system is pretty simple its finding someone willing to work on it if you cant do it yourself

My Xantia has the anti sink system so will stay up for weeks

[civic spoke]

Ugh. Damn it. I just want bluetooth in my car now.

I miss listening to my own music while driving.

Without having to wear my muffs.

Have something on order already. Bluebus. But it will probably be a while longer until it's here.

[charred depot]

Parts for BX's now are getting really scarce and while you can buy alot stuff from like one place its priced... accordingly.

[civic spoke]

Used to have one of those FM transmitters. But those are kind of meh in cities.

[alpine hare]

They're shite everywhere

[charred depot]

my saab had the aerial at the back so when people would drive past me id get their shite music blasting in my car

[civic spoke]

Mine worked 'alright'. But you would still get issues with it, even when you were in the middle of nowhere.

It depends for me.
For work then there are times when I want to listen to music, other times when I do not.

[alpine hare]

I put an cd changer to aux adapter in my V70 then aux to bluetooth adapter, works pretty mint

[civic spoke]

I'm getting something that piggybacks directly into the headunit.

[alpine hare]

Be much better than an FM transmitter haha

I'd rather listen to silence

[charred depot]

Have the best infotainment system

[alpine hare]

oem

[charred depot]

it is a luxury car

[alpine hare]

door cards are for the weak

[charred depot]

door fell off, got my replacement hinge from ireland so should be refitting it soon

[alpine hare]

"door fell off" standard french automobile

[charred depot]

easily fixed : )

[alpine hare]

i love it

[charred depot]

I do get legit MOT's suprisingly.

[alpine hare]

How

[charred depot]

ive considered paying for a dodgy MOT sometimes.

haha

I actually did.

[alpine hare]

bent ticket, got to be

[charred depot]

Fixed in a day infact

I have loads of peugeot parts, access to parts cars.

welding done the boot

a bit of welding done underneath aswell

[alpine hare]

we can trade

[charred depot]

I joked that if I sold it someone would claim it had a bent MOT

[alpine hare]

an mot is an mot

[charred depot]

but nah everything was fixed

Legit MOT's only

[alpine hare]

opposite over here

Get your shop shut down in an instant doing that

[charred depot]

this has an MOT on it

still got till september!

Certified safe!

[alpine hare]

That's good for another year

It's good until it doesn't drive anymore tbh

[charred depot]

it is : )

[alpine hare]

I might have to move over there

[charred depot]

MOT's are a fun challenge.

be too easy to do my tomfoolery otherwise.

[brittle totem]

Guess what my dads 2 years old passat has apperently 3 oil leaks right now according to Volkswagen service guy seems like quality car.

[charred depot]

just that eco rubber biodegrading dont mind it

[alpine hare]

means it still has oil in it then

[charred depot]

its good for the environment

[alpine hare]

giving the dinosaurs back

[charred depot]

The ground outside our unit is so fucked

everytime it rains about 50 litres of oil gets pulled out the ground and the rainbow road appears

[alpine hare]

lol don't let the council find out

[charred depot]

the lands condemned already from mining heh

[alpine hare]

oh lol, wales?

[charred depot]

nothing can legally be built here, Scotland

[alpine hare]

fairs

[charred depot]

1L every 15 miles

[alpine hare]

thats like 70mpg

[brittle totem]

Well I guess that's the reason why we hade to fill up the oil like 8 times in the past 2 years.

[charred depot]

thats pretty good

[alpine hare]

I once had a rear main that was blown and I couldn't even get 60 miles

[misty mantle]

Didn't this happen a while back?

[charred depot]

ive ruined the pavement outside my house

I bought the car a couple months ago sight unseen

could have had worse issues, its only absent metal

[civic spoke]

Weight reduction.

[charred depot]

Im probably gonna scrap it before its next MOT though

Ideally I find a 205 or something with a dead engine and use the engine from that

[alpine hare]

Could sell it to someone else

[charred depot]

whooo

[alpine hare]

Many people who buy shitboxes

[fathom socket]

They are so fucking annoying tho

[charred depot]

yeah and they dont pay much for shite

[alpine hare]

People will spend 5k welding a £300 mx5

[charred depot]

but its not a mx5 its a shitty phase 2 306

engine and gearbox is worth more to me than someone will pay.

[alpine hare]

fair point

Same with my 940 tbh, redblock and m90 is worth more than the whole car

[civic spoke]

The inspections may be annoying. But it's an annoyance I am willing to put up with for having safer cars on the roads.

[charred depot]

Most of my MOT's have missed the actually dangerous stuff.

[civic spoke]

They lift them up and check suspension here.

Check for any obvious stuff like corroded brake lines, etc.

[fathom socket]

yes but theyll give me an advisory for the tiniest fucking thing

[charred depot]

MOT pass

went in for an MOT the day after that photo

I put in on my ramp to give it a once over

[misty mantle]

Your MOT inspectors be slacking if that passed

[charred depot]

I mildly obscured it

Failed on other stuff but not the rear beam heh

[misty mantle]

They should just do what the inspection officer in My summer car does and poke at the underside with a screwdriver

[charred depot]

they've done that to one of mine before

[civic spoke]

That's how it can look like here.

[charred depot]

scraped the waxoyl off the rusty brake lines which they arent meant to do

[civic spoke]

The plates that the front wheel lands on when they are up on the lift are able to move. So that they can check some of the suspension parts.

[charred depot]

same setup as here

My usual tester im friends with and is on the lenient side

305 didnt go to my usual tester

nothing dodgy

[civic spoke]

Those plates are able to jerk the whole car around.

[charred depot]

mhm

We were joking about taking our cars to kwikfit / similar for an MOT to see how much shit they would pile on

very little probably, alot of parts that fit a 305 arent included in the compatability by alot of parts suppliers

some blank out its existence completely

[misty mantle]

That the European equivalent of a quick lube shop or something?

[charred depot]

they do tyres n exhausts n stuff are well known for shit like trying to sell you an entire exhaust system when you just need a backbox etc

[misty mantle]

rip

[civic spoke]

UK. I believe.

[honest stone]

kwitfit is a tyre shop here in uk

[vocal turtle]

I have a welding question and I’ve been told this is the most appropriate channel to ask it so here it goes: I have this outdoor swing, metal frame, wooden seat. The frame partially broke. What kind of welding would be appropriate in this case? I have the tools for any of the 3, but I don’t know which one is appropriate

[vocal turtle]

The three being MIG, stick and TIG

I’m thinking stick, but I am a relative beginner.

[deep zealot]

LC500 and M850i are my two last choices

[civic spoke]

Those are uhh. Some options.

If it's the non-hybrid. Then I would almost prefer the LC500.

That engine sings.

[sinful creek]

Depends on the metal. You'll first want to prep it with sandpaper, a wire brush, or grinder to remove any surface rust that can get under your welds. Since it'll be outside, you should use something you can weld consistently with so you don't get any holes through the remaining frame. I would recommend MIG/TIG due to the protection Argon provides, it lessens corrosion between your filler material and work piece too. As for the material, if it's softer or somewhat thin like aluminum you'll want to stay with TIG since having precise voltage control will help you maintain a very consistent and clean weld. If it's harder/thicker, like steel, you'll probably want MIG since it can penetrate deeper. Then you finish it up with a weather coating primer.

[sinful creek]

Also if you don't want to risk butchering it on your first go at it, it's always good practice to try doing test welds on scrap metal

[simple igloo]

MIG or TIG. If you've got a stick welder at hand you can maybe kinda sorta get away with it but stick is not made for thin metal

[wraith rivet]

am i right for just going around here? or should i have stopped

pretty sure that driveway they were coming out of was right turn only anyways

[vocal turtle]

The holy bible of welding. Tysm! Again, a beginner is kind of pushing it. The swing was built by my grandpa, who unfortunately died. I don’t want to lose it and he left some pretty cool gear behind. Thanks a lot for the help!

[sinful creek]

No problem, I have a passion for welding but surprisingly I don't own a welder 💀

[vocal turtle]

I own 2 or 3, yet I don’t know how to weld. We are opposites

[sinful creek]

Lol

[vocal turtle]

My mask is uncomfortable, but that is not a problem. Gonna try it tomorrow since it’s almost midnight

[deep zealot]

I would to but it’s very slow

[stoic ledge]

I thinking you did alright, they stopped so they basically acknowledged having seen you

Were you overtaking someone? Otherwise I'd move over to the other lane anyway

[wispy cloak]

I had somebody do this to me the other day but they stopped and still pulled out in front of me while I was doing 60mph

Was so close to rear ending them

[stoic ledge]

Well you can't keep expecting the unexpected otherwise you won't get anywhere

Average dashcam owner would've steered towards them so gg wp 😛

[wispy cloak]

I need to put my dashcam in this truck

Haven't used it since the dakota got totalled

Also they were in a camry I was in a 7000lbs truck

Was not a wise battle to fight

[stoic ledge]

Haven't really had anything interesting happen on the roads recently

Mostly slow tourists... But that's not worth uploading 😛

[tired sundial]

See it’s not bad

You can bearly notic it

[wispy cloak]

Biggest thing is probably the paint correction

[wispy cloak]

Pdr guy could probably do the dent

[wraith rivet]

No I wasn't but I have to be in that lane to make my turn

if the light is red i'll go into the turn lane right there, if its green i'll make the turn later down the road

it was a city road btw not like a highway or anything

some cities have weird highways going through them where they have turn ins while the speed limit is 60

[wispy cloak]

Definitely not here

And not all over the whole town

[polar falcon]

I’m excited to get my first car, even though it’s gonna take a while but once I get it I’ll post it here

[civic spoke]

Nice. Just don't set your expectations too high. Less is often more.

[polar falcon]

I know, I currently share my mothers car until we can get one for me

[rugged lynx]

you dont want to see the carnage my mom does to cars

[polar falcon]

My mom refused to get a door latch fixed for her car, it’s $495 for one part with the labor

Trust me, I probably won’t be

[timber oar]

Yeah if it's got miles, it's cheap, and the owner seems like an idiot, prepare to have plenty of stupid problems to fix

[polar falcon]

100% yes

[civic spoke]

Honestly best to avoid those cars.

[timber oar]

ehhhh

the unfortunate reality of not having a lot of money

although i generally have the means to fix most things so id kinda rather get something cheaper and fix it myself

but thats just me

not applicable for a lot of people

[civic spoke]

What's it called again. Sunk cost fallacy?

When you keep spending money on a ship that's sinking. Basically. Because you have already gone this far. Might as well keep it afloat.

[timber oar]

well parts are way cheaper than labor thats for sure

and i 100% do my own work at this point

seen shops do enough stupid shit

my local one left the brake fluid resevoir cap half on when they were replacing a brake line on one of my cars

couldnt figure out a simple electrical problem with the connector inside of my fuel tank powering the pump

impacted on the oil drain bolt on the car my mom drives

[civic spoke]

Even if you do your own work. Just the fact that you can not rely on your vehicle is a big deal for me.

[timber oar]

if you cant rely on it you didnt fix it right lmao

i havent had any issues beyond bigo fucking up or parts being 30 years old

or new parts failing immediately

[civic spoke]

Intro for this video. 👀 https://youtu.be/rOBLoHqSZ1w

[civic spoke]

You say that. But what if new problems keep popping up?

[timber oar]

really havent had that happen a whole lot tbh

but then again what i have is extremely simple compared to modern vehicles

they just work

[polar falcon]

I’m just wanting a diesel truck

[timber oar]

enjoy your def

[polar falcon]

If the truck doesn’t have a way for me to put it in the system, I won’t need def

But I’ll have no choice to use it at some point and you know what, that’s okay

[civic spoke]

You're basically looking at vehicles before 2010 or so then.

[polar falcon]

Basically yes

I am older than my pfp says I look btw 😅

I did it as a joke for my 18th birthday

It'll be changed back once it's April 1st

[civic spoke]

As much as I feel like Volvo's can be pretty 'meh'. The XC70 is damn fine.

D5 AWD with a tow hitch.

[fathom socket]

Man. I can't believe you can't drive with euro 5 diesel car where I work

[idle grail]

Is that gray car which was backing up in the video a S15?

That's probably the cleanest 850 I have ever seen
How much power is it pushing?

[civic spoke]

Same here. At least for the city. But many customers also require alco-lock and Euro 6.

[fathom socket]

Alco lock?

Why?

[civic spoke]

Ignition interlock device.
Gotta blow 0.00 to start the vehicle.

[fathom socket]

Nothing that would be an issue to me, but it's a requirement or because they did something?

[civic spoke]

It's a requirement as a just in case.

[civic spoke]

For normal cars, then Euro 6 is only a requirement for a set of certain streets.

[idle grail]

Cool
Do u have more pictures of it?

[stoic ledge]

Imagine seeing a Corsa there, probably the rarest car there

I've said it many times before, LS swap a Corsa, GM so bolt in upgrade

Am I the only one who thinks the Valhalla isn't a good looking car?

Usually I like Aston's

But the Valhalla....

Also @upbeat hatch , I recently found out Opel's were actually sold in Australia for a brief period

For the first time ever, the Opel brand was introduced to Australia on 1 September 2012, including the Corsa, Astra, Astra GTC, and Insignia models. On 2 August 2013, Opel announced it was ending exports to Australia due to poor sales, with only 1,530 vehicles sold in the first ten months.

1530 cars in 10 months, ~150/month - 5/day

It looks quite vanilla yes

That's the most important

Cars are probably not accustomed to driving upside down

[elfin stone]

Probably because they were competing with Holden, and that Brand had a huge advantage because it was an old Australian brand

They’d probably do better now

[stoic ledge]

They're now available in NZ again

Not in Australia

[stoic ledge]

Likely

Uncertain, could be, although the "competing" Holden is also gone...

Maybe NZ is a test pilot, if it works out they might try Australia again

True, but I doubt they actually have a clause in there against them re-entering as back then it still was a GM brand, and then they'd put in a clause against themselves

But ofc it's all speculation for basically everyone except GM/Opel attorneys

Hmm would make sense

Idk if they were in the NZ market before getting sold

[wispy cloak]

Yeah but gm owns both so they probably don't care where the money comes from as long as they get it

If I had to take a guess they won't be trying to send opels there again anytime soon

Oh

I thought they did

So does that mean gm has basically completely pulled out of Europe?

[stoic ledge]

Yes, but also no 😛

NL has a website, it's on there, but no pricing, and as far as I can see 0 dealerships?

Germany has prices and 6 (!) dealerships

Belgium doesn't even have a website, and so does Austria

The likeliness of seeing a RAM is way larger than seeing s Cadillac

Also: Peugeot/Citroen/Opel in the US when

[feral reef]

Seeing a RAM is quite common in my area

[stoic ledge]

Same, 2 in my small town so gg ez

Also an Escalade

And an Urus, Brabus G and Continental Flying Spur

Sad, I think something like the 3008 would work in the US

Not with the 1.2T, but with the 1.6T and the PHEV...

[civic spoke]

Don't crash

Passenger rear window?

Lower down the front passenger seat.

Welp.

What car are we talking about?

[stoic ledge]

Everything for content Crash = good content gg ez

😛

[civic spoke]

I say number 2.

[stoic ledge]

Oooh yes the 8C, I member now

Don't you also have a MiTo?

Iirc

[civic spoke]

Another option, that's a bit ehhh. Would be to put it on the trunk. With something like a selfie stick.

[stoic ledge]

[civic spoke]

I wonder if having it lower would change it any.

It wouldn't work having it here?

I wonder how it would look being at the lower part of the passenger window.

Try and get it out of the air stream, somehow.

[charred depot]

Friend took his chevette to a car wash and refused to start after heh

[feral reef]

Rip 💀

[stoic ledge]

@elfin stone

[charred depot]

No spare?

[stoic ledge]

It has a 2nd fuel tank in that spot

But I thought the compressor was one of those you plug in to a socket, but it's actually hardwired in to the car

[civic spoke]

At least you can keep one of those plugs in your cars and use the compressor to fill it up.

I will likely always hate well wishes in a can.

[charred depot]

I have a spare and a compressor for when I found out my spare is flat

suprised my saab didnt have a full size spare

[stoic ledge]

Always nice

[stoic ledge]

Actually a great idea

[charred depot]

I need to get a pic of the spare wheel I have slung under my 305

retro tyre!

[dusky torrent]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cV4dE7k7qm0 Does anyone know this person?

[eager raptor]

wes 🤯

[dusky torrent]

Hi Grant

[bitter compass]

I dislike spacesavers but i guess it's still a tire so it's better than not having one

[charred depot]

part of my driveway doesent have a dropped kerb, when I had a spacesaver fitted I was doing a burnout trying to get in heh

diff didnt sound too happy doing 60mph with it

[brittle totem]

Yeah I think the BMW navigation isen't always a good idea to follow.

The inbuild one in the BMW infotamient i think it based on google maps for the map it self and the navigation is from BMW.

[civic spoke]

You shouldn't even trust Google Maps.

[brittle totem]

Never hade this issue with google maps before. The only issue that I have with google maps is that it always shows that I should drive trough this road when i'm going south which is "illegal".

[civic spoke]

Let me check if they are still showing the wrong way to this one quarry.

Google Maps wanted you to take the red line before.

Or if it was a road further north. I forget.

Whatever the case. The road was blocked and shit there.

[brittle totem]

I think it was this one not sure why BMW navigation thought that was good idea instead of not just continue on the same road that I was on. but a similar thing has happened before while following the inbuild nav at a different place it thought that the forest road was a better idea then highway that time.

Yeah I guess its based on KM and not actually time then.

[civic spoke]

Google Maps tend to go more for fastest route for me.

But I often get three routes or so.

[brittle totem]

Found the route when I got the same thing before and google maps shows the same stupid route to that inbuild nav gave me and the funny thing was that road was closed right before my destination anyways.

[civic spoke]

Fastest, shortest, and sometimes toll-free.

Oh, lmao. I know that

Check if it takes the same stupid road to Gillinge Krossen that's right there.

Yuuuup. It's wrong.

The correct way is to drive to the Halkbana and then continue from there.

So you drive south parallel to the freeway much further before crossing.

[brittle totem]

Yeah I know that now I just wasted like 1 hour then trying to figure out the right route.

[fathom socket]

My nav just told me to drive like 70 km or something to just go to the petrol-station like 600 meters away

[civic spoke]

I have no idea where you're actually going, tho.

[deep zealot]

which bmw version is this? CIC or NBT?

[brittle totem]

Do you know what orientering or I guess every Swede knows what is but anyways there was orientering competition at that place.

[brittle totem]

Its a 2015 so it has NBT and we did a map update in February 2021.

[civic spoke]

Ahh

[fading bane]

especially 2008 BMW CCC navigation

[civic spoke]

I just looked it up. Road you want to take had a no traffic sign at the entrance

[brittle totem]

Where ? Didn't se that sign.

[brittle totem]

I see no sign that shows that you allowed to drive there.

[civic spoke]

That's where I'm checking.

Funny how you have to look up yourself how to get to the orientation.

That's the way I would drive. @brittle totem

[stoic ledge]

Go cross country, FH5 style

[civic spoke]

I believe that it's just Google not wanting you to drive on "Vehicles not allowed!" type of roads. And then tries to sort out the closest roads nearby, and have you walk the rest of the way

[brittle totem]

Yes, it was more difficult to find the right way to that place than to run the course itself.

[civic spoke]

Just need to look up the place beforehand instead of trusting the GPS blindly.

This happened in a way earlier in the week with some other drivers.

They have put in the address of the work site, but not the area.

So they were sent off to Huddinge instead of Tyresö.

And then you have it when then central sends out the wrong address. Which happened two weeks ago.

The address I got was for Lidingö. Where I was supposed to go to Saltsjö-Boo.

The order missed a letter. That's what happened with that

[brittle totem]

Well they usually give out the exact cortidants trough a google maps like and this was the first time we hade that problem so I didn't expect it to happened a lot of other people hade the same problem to. So my mom just send them directly to the car trough the BMW app.

[random siren]

anyone here a turo host? half contemplating doing it to justify a car I can't justify buying... lol - want car again, motorcycle is very much right sized for my use; but 2 months of the year it sucks...

There are also roads that just aren't on Google. Almost every back path and dirt road shortcut isn't on gooogle maps

[fluid osprey]

Bad air cleaner?

[wraith rivet]

Wait wtf

how have I not seen this before

[timber oar]

Convertible hellcat?

Since when

[radiant tinsel]

They make custom ones

Bud of mine has something like that

[compact grotto]

Sometime last year. They're not built that way by Dodge but once they leave the factory, they are sent to Drop Top Customs for the conversion, then back to the dealership for delivery. Its official, just not done at the factory. https://www.motor1.com/news/604481/dodge-challenger-convertible-conversion-dealers/

[timber oar]

If only it wasn't a dodge

[wraith rivet]

lmaoo

that just doesn't seem like a convertible car

convertibles are usually sleek and good looking

[elfin stone]

Aah, it’s like Opel and the Bertone Astras

[timber oar]

Well it's like i always say

Looks like a really cool car

....except its a dodge

Def not something I'd want as a convertible either, doesn't look right

[toxic karma]

about to grab this euro spec lhd estoril blue

[digital dove]

BMW X6M Bluetooth exhaust

[elfin stone]

My bad, like the Zafira B Concept

This one

This one was special. If Bertone wouldn’t have gone bankrupt, it would have been serialized in that exact form

[plucky flame]

No way you went to the fugly car emporium

Theyve got em all

[eternal cedar]

Where Citroën Ami?

[flint snow]

Just got my first truck at fourteen it's a 1997 ford f150 XL I know it's a ugly color

What the hell did that even used to be

[stoic ledge]

Porsche drivers can't drive so I'm not surprised by that

[stoic ledge]

Color is the only thing I like

[timber oar]

I guess it does kinda look like a Porsche yeah

[feral reef]

"kinda" ?

[stoic ledge]

Didn't know they sold those with an Alfa badge 😛 Nor was it designed by Bertone

[feral reef]

That looks like nothing but a Porsche

[timber oar]

Well actually it mostly looks like a mangled pile of garbage to me lmao

[eternal cedar]

Mainly a comment about the ugly car museum joke earlier.

[timber oar]

With some Porsche elements

[stoic ledge]

Didn't catch that lol mi bad

[vocal mural]

2 Porsches crashed on BAB3 between Babberich and Elten.
The other one is in de ditch
The police did come from Germany and ambulance from the Netherlands.

[stoic ledge]

Actually makes kinda sense, Italy loves small cars and Fiat so it would make sense to sell them there under the Fiat brand

[eternal cedar]

There are so many European cars I want but can almost never have.

Opel Kadett, Renault 5, Peugeot 306, the list goes on and on. :(

Random Dutch repost link, there's probably an original... But crashes like this?

[vocal mural]

@timber oar @stoic ledge 4 Dutch people dead.

[stoic ledge]

I was thinking about the original indeed

[stoic ledge]

In that Porsche crash?

[plucky flame]

How did they even clown car 4 dutch people into that thing

But dutch people

[stoic ledge]

Holy shit, so if I understand correctly 2 died in the initial crash with a Porsche, another person stopped to offer aid, he gets hit by another Porsche, and the driver of that car also dies

That's just... Yikes

Damn

[stoic ledge]

Damn that looks so weird But makes sense as a mule. Weird aerial but cool detail

[plucky flame]

This is why we need to get rid of porsches

First paul walker and now these 4 dutch people

[ornate rock]

That feeling when you find 106 year old NOS that is practically non existent

[wraith rivet]

Yoooo

that's crazy

certified california highway moment

[tawdry pendant]

guys do yall have any idea what this is? its mounted to the front of an mpi engine

oh lol cool i thought it was a turbo or something

[timber oar]

Yeah was gonna say looks like an exhaust header

(Only touch when running if you like the smell of bacon)

[brittle totem]

17 years apart and still the same design classic VW moment.

The new one is basically just a downgrade of the old one.

[eternal cedar]

Ew, slider sidebar lock

[brittle totem]

Yup classic VW loaner car no keyless start no automatic climat control but it does have automatic matrix leds and auto parking.

Our toyota from 2011 that we used to have didn't even a slidebar lock key.

[stoic ledge]

Foldable keys often all have it, as the blade outline is square for in your pocket

So sad, the T-Cross is leaving tomorrow

Y33ted it though the carwash this morning

First wash in 40k km

[stoic ledge]

||Sad = Sarcastic, glad it'll be gone||

[wraith rivet]

lol

[brittle totem]

What will be the replacement ?

[stoic ledge]

Nothing, switching jobs, company car goes away

But only used for company drives, so personal car besides it

[charred depot]

hopefully ill be back in my usual company car soon :^)

cant be caught not in a luxury saloon!

Quoting for classic car insurance with modifications and business use is fun.

[icy osprey]

car

[brittle totem]

Oh i see, my dads T-roc loaner will be replaced next week by another loaner nor sure which one probaly a tiguan.

[charred depot]

when does he get his actual car heh

[brittle totem]

No ones knows.

[charred depot]

gotta love the new car experience

[stoic ledge]

Classic VW experience

[stoic ledge]

Odd plate

[stoic ledge]

Pure luxury

Certain it drives better than the T-Cross

[brittle totem]

We where supposed to get the new loaner last week but they "forgot"

[charred depot]

Most modern cars drive like shit for realistic use here

complains about potholes, buys shitty crossover with low profile tyres and sporty suspension uwotm8

[brittle totem]

Don't forget the all season tires with no grip at all when it's snowy outside.

[charred depot]

meh they're fine

problem with people in new cars with electric throttle pedals and loads of power they have no control. Id say its getting worse

See it all the time people slowly losing speed down to like 65 then flooring it back up to 75 like brev

[flint sable]

Using an A4x20 to suck humid air out of a headlight

[feral reef]

Fascinating

[stiff burrow]

Odd

[stoic ledge]

Audi A2

Aluminium car

Very lightweight

<900kg

Atleast for the base model

There even was a very fuel efficient, even more lightweight diesel version of it (less sound insulation for example, no ac, no power steering)... 830kg

1.2 3 cyl diesel, robotized manual

It was called the "3L", referring to the claimed fuel economy of 3L/100km

3L/100km = 78MPG US

Has a Service hatch as the bonnet isn't hinged

Can remove it tho

[fathom socket]

thing looks goofy asf

[brittle totem]

So the A2 has more space left under hood then ID4 how is that even possible.

[wraith rivet]

looking fresh

this is what’s been making my tire lose air pressure randomly when I park

$190 to fix

[stiff burrow]

Indeed

Very interesting MK

This is my fav of all the ones I’ve seen tho

I did not get a front pic idk why

[stoic ledge]

Very difficult with no engine ofc

No wait

😛

[stoic ledge]

Kek doesn't help no... Did you hit a pothole or a kerb?

[stoic ledge]

Seat Leon Cupra Nowadays Seat and Cupra are seperate "brands" but the Cupra Leon is still a modified Seat Leon

Leon is basically a "Spanish" Golf, Cupra is the hothatch version of it

Leon Cupra is somewhere between a Golf GTI and an R, but still FWD

[stiff burrow]

Yep my favorite only because they put an RS3 engine in one of their other cars lol

[stoic ledge]

Cupra Formentor VZ5 yes

Not available in NL

[brittle totem]

All new Cupra leon have AWD and only the manual Cupra Leons from the previous generation have FWD.

So its basically just a Gold R but cheaper.

[stoic ledge]

Ah idk much about the new Cupra Leon's, we only get them as the Hybrid

[stiff burrow]

Is it really cheaper than a golf r? I was looking at the new one on the seat France website but it’s more expensive than a golf r in the us which I was surprised by

[stoic ledge]

EU Golf R is probably also more as the US Golf R

Should be cheaper

If it's not, it's still worth it as the Golf is ugly AF

[stiff burrow]

Oh

Yeah the new one is ugly

I think all the cupra models look nice

[stoic ledge]

In NL all Cupra's are electrified, EV or PHEV. Also marketed as an electrified brand

[stiff burrow]

Not surprised by that

[stoic ledge]

Definitely better than the VW counterparts

[stiff burrow]

The land of bikes surely doesn’t appreciate 5 cylinder turbos lol

[brittle totem]

Yes here in Sweden there is around $10k difference between the Cupra leon VZ and the Golf R. And the Cupra has way more standard equipment then Golf R.

[stiff burrow]

Wow

[stoic ledge]

I did the maths once, the VZ5 Formentor would cost like 120k here

So definitely not surprising

[stiff burrow]

I really wish the US got the VZ5 in some other form

RSQ3? Pls

[stoic ledge]

RSQ3 exists

Does have the 5 cyl

[stiff burrow]

Really? I didn’t know that

[stoic ledge]

Yes

Also in stupid coupe shape

[brittle totem]

So the same price as an base RS6 here.

[stiff burrow]

Aww

https://carbuzz.com/news/audi-explains-why-the-rs-q3-isnt-right-for-the-us

Sad

[stoic ledge]

Apparently I was mistaken, roughly 100-110k

Bargain

[stiff burrow]

We get stupid stuff instead like the Escalade v lol

[stoic ledge]

RS6 is a mere 210k base

[brittle totem]

We even have Escalade here in Sweden I have seen a few not sure if the officially sold here if there is company that imports them.

[stiff burrow]

Im talking about the 682hp supercharged version

[stoic ledge]

Only "official" Cadillac in Europe is the XT4 I think

Depending on the country

Some have no Cadillac at all

[stoic ledge]

Great for the 1 mile school run in the suburbs

[stiff burrow]

Yep

[brittle totem]

Oh really there is 22 Cadillac escalade from the latest generation registered in Sweden and 135 from the previous generation .

[stiff burrow]

For a lowly $150,000 you too can join all the suburban moms in their GLS 63s and X7 M60is with a stupid super suv of your own

[stiff burrow]

That’s more than I would expect tbh

[brittle totem]

The fun thing with this is that 15 of those 22 are listed on sale I guess no one wants them. https://www.blocket.se/annonser/hela_sverige/fordon/bilar?cg=1020&cb=4&cbl1=3&mys=2021

[stiff burrow]

Lol

[stoic ledge]

Could be imports, maybe last gen was available idk

I know it was officially available in like 2006 or something

[stoic ledge]

Stupid cars, luckily I barely ever see them

Although there's a Brabus G class in my town

Hideos

<1000 inhabitants, rural, and then there's a stupid car like that

[brittle totem]

Top tier graphics.

[stiff burrow]

I see those kind of suvs all the time but I live in the wealthier part of a large city

Lots of suburban soccer moms where I live

Ps1 graphics

[stiff burrow]

Rural European small towns are nice though

[stoic ledge]

Agreed

Wouldn't want to live anywhere else

[stiff burrow]

The Netherlands is next on my list of places to visit tbh

In Europe at least

[stoic ledge]

Not much to see there tho

[stiff burrow]

But I will have to save that for another time, I’m leaving at 6 AM for CDG so wish me luck 💀

[stoic ledge]

Just don't visit Amsterdam

[stiff burrow]

Why

[stoic ledge]

Idk I hate it

[stiff burrow]

Oh

[brittle totem]

So Cadillac escalade has yearly tax of €250 meanwhile my dads Passat has yearly tax of around 900€ how does that make any sense.

[stoic ledge]

Nothing "Dutch" about it and way too crowded

I like my peace

[stiff burrow]

Oh ok

[stiff burrow]

Maybe age? If your dads Passat is older they might tax it more

[stoic ledge]

"Tourists" often think after visiting Amsterdam they've seen the country, but Amsterdam is basically completely different from the rest of the country

[stiff burrow]

To encourage you to buy a newer or “more efficient” car

Oh yeah I think that is every large city

[stoic ledge]

Although tourists seem to like it, I never see the appeal

[brittle totem]

Co2 per km on the passat is 135g and on the escalade has 302g/km both are from 2021.

[stoic ledge]

Been there once... Never again

[stiff burrow]

Oh, that’s really weird then

[brittle totem]

The tax goes down after the 4 first years here.

[stoic ledge]

But diesel pollution worse than petrol pollution ofc

[stiff burrow]

Oh ok

Idk how Swedish taxes work just guessing

[stoic ledge]

No one knows

[stiff burrow]

Which was a bad guess apparently lol

Sweden is a mystery

[stoic ledge]

IKEA
Knäckebröd
🅱️olvo

That's it

[stiff burrow]

True

I’ve never been to ikea actually

Is it worth going

[stoic ledge]

[stiff burrow]

The closet one is 30 mins away from my house

[stoic ledge]

I don't particularly care for it, just a massive warehouse with very large showroom of cheap but okay quality furniture, with a walkway they force you to walk through the entire store (although there are shortcuts), and then there's a warehouse where you can pick up the items you see in the store

I/we really only go when we need something

[stiff burrow]

Oh

[stoic ledge]

I mostly go for their rechargable batteries

[brittle totem]

Not sure either it doesn't make since that escalade has lower tax then most regular 1,5l family cars.

[stiff burrow]

Yeah

[stoic ledge]

IKEA Ladda Panasonic Eneloop for ⅓ the price

[stiff burrow]

I’ve just heard a lot about IKEA and it’s kinda far so idk if it’s worth going just to see 🤷‍♂️

[stoic ledge]

Maybe registered as a commercial vehicles due to weight?

[heavy lake]

Ok ok v6 all the way fr

[stoic ledge]

30 minutes is not too bad, I have to go the same probably

[stiff burrow]

Oh

[stoic ledge]

Swedish meatballs are decent at IKEA

[brittle totem]

Just a bounce of furniture with names that doesn't make any since not to even to us swedes. The only thing that make sense is that everything that you walk on is named after Danish names.

[stoic ledge]

Hotdog is okay

[stiff burrow]

😂

[stoic ledge]

Cinnamon bun is good imho

[stiff burrow]

I’ve heard about the food

[stoic ledge]

As an American that should be reason enough for you

😛

[stiff burrow]

Lol

[brittle totem]

Yeah the alright but not even close to real homemade ones. But at least the prices in Ikea restaurant are actually quite good for what you are getting.

[stoic ledge]

Yeah don't expect home made quality but for fast food, what it basically is, and the price it's definitely acceptable

[brittle totem]

Yeah around 18 mins for me and around 25 when their is traffic like the weekend after the payday going to ikea then is just chaos-specially in the restaurant.

[stoic ledge]

Anyone know of anywhere that might have some 106 year old NOS dodge parts

[stoic ledge]

Nope sorry

[brittle totem]

Yeah I think its like €6 for the biggest potion of meatballs here. And free refill of soda is nice to.

[flint sable]

going to ford nationals at carlisle soon

[stoic ledge]

€8 here

Includes french fries and peas?

Although I think we're going off topic .. slightly

[stiff burrow]

Only a bit

[stiff burrow]

Hell yeah

[brittle totem]

French fries with meatballs 💀 but yes 6€ for the whole meal and 1€ for the soda with free refill.

[stiff burrow]

One thing about Europe, why do you guys give little tiny cups for water and then have a bottle to fill the cups with

Most places in America bring you a giant cup full of water, lol

I suppose it’s just a cultural thing

[stoic ledge]

I just fill water at the tap?

[brittle totem]

Actually its €5,26 didn't know that Swedish krone has gone down that much in value.

[stiff burrow]

I mean at a restaurant

If you ask for water they bring you cups and a bottle

[stoic ledge]

Ah I never order water in a restaurant, but here you just get a glass I think

Oh or sometimes small glass bottles yeah

And they you can poor it yourself

But then it's exactly the content of 1 glass in the bottle

[stiff burrow]

It must vary from place to place then

That’s just been my experience in both France and the UK

[stoic ledge]

I think you might be right,. But I almost never order water at a restaurant so I'm doubting

xP

[brittle totem]

And the cinnamon roll 0,45€

[stoic ledge]

0.50 here iirc

Or it must've gone up

[brittle totem]

Well don't forget Koenigsegg 🥹

[stoic ledge]

0.99 nowadays apparently

[stoic ledge]

All E36 are begging for it

[toxic karma]

[dusk ocean]

I think 300 blk out

e36 + quad exhaust + roof spoiler... yeah she's prime

[toxic karma]

yeah I noticed the quad exhaust just the other day and im like that aint right

but its dual vanos and all the shit

[dusk ocean]

yeah I mean s50b32 is nice for what it is

but i would not want one

[toxic karma]

I was thinking I either supercharge it

[dusk ocean]

never supercharge these things

[toxic karma]

or just drive the car as is, or sell it

[dusk ocean]

CF supercharger on these engines is a bit .... snoozy

[toxic karma]

I figured its easy, the ecu those have are flashable aren't they?

[dusk ocean]

I say this as I am building an alpina s/c for my e30....

Yes but no real great tune

[toxic karma]

is it still rom raider type of tuning?

[dusk ocean]

like 10 years ago bmw forums were full of chip tunes that were like... barely acceptable

[toxic karma]

afaik its still the same thing

[dusk ocean]

I forget what ECU that has, but its prob a 413 or 506 dme

[toxic karma]

and link makes a a plug n play for only m50s??

[dusk ocean]

which is a socketed chip

[toxic karma]

s50 is the same, but this is dual vanos so idk
