din 1 and din 2 are sizes

#

this is din 1

#

this is din 2

#

it just double height and usually has better screen or sometimes even an android operating system but those ary usually the chinese cheap crap one or very expensive mediocre ones :D

#

it replaces the panel with standard 2din whole in wich you can either put a din 2 radio or a din 1 radio and extra storage like this

#

easiest way of getting these is most likely look up the nearest decent car audio shop and have them pick out the adapter panel and the adapter cables that connect the standard radio connections (iso) to your cars connection, i dont know if your car has iso from factory but most wont and require a adapter.

#

i have an oem din 2 panel from volvo and an oem din 1 cubby from volvo too, then i have connects2 adapter that adapts the factory loom to suit iso wich plugs into the radio end loom.

#

then i just have a basic Pioneer MVH-390BT din 1 radio with bluetooth that i play spotify with trought my phone.

#

http://www.connects2.co.uk/Product/ProductItem/CTKVX11 connects2 actually makes a whole kit for it

supple chasm
#

this is perfect and just what i was looking for. i was originally looking as 2 DIN stereos that have android auto so to get this to work i would need an adapter for my car that converts it to a 2 din then grab an adapter for my steering wheel controls and i'm sorted ?

stuck crag
#

it depends

#

some cars need an extra adapter and extra work to make the wheel controls work, like my volvo so i didnt bother spendind 170€ extra just so i dont have to move my arm 15cm :D

supple chasm
#

fair enough. i will take a look around at some stereos now i have a better understanding.

#

have you used android auto before ? i have heard it is good but the stereos and looking to be around £300

#

i was looking at the Sony XAV-AX100

stuck crag
#

that kit seems to have the adapter for the wheel but it can get expensive, as it can take some wiring work wich i would recommend taking it to someone who knows what they are doing :D atleast i wouldnt touch it as i hate car electrics :D

#

i only use bluetooth

supple chasm
#

might weight my pros and cons up. £300 is a lot considering my how old my car is

#

might be better off with something like you have

stuck crag
#

but the best bet is going to a audio shop, preferably a one that carries connects2 stuff and have them pick the stuff, if you dont care about wheel controls it is most likely a very simple job.

#

and as i dont know about you cars wheel controls it could just be a plug in job

#

but most arent.

#

and usually it doubles the price:D

supple chasm
#

yeah i will take it to someone local. was hoping i could do it my self and i would love to learn it all but would rather not fuck anything up on my first car lol

stuck crag
#

go to the audio shop first and they will most likely know how involved the job with the wheel controls are :D

#

if it is simple as pluggin in some connections you can do it yourself, youtube is full of instructions :D

supple chasm
#

thanks for all the help man i really appreciate it.

#

all i have had to listen to is the radio and a CD that was in the car when i bought it with half the tracks skipping and i'm pretty sure they are singing in german lol

stuck crag
#

np :)

supple chasm
#

what car do you have ?

stuck crag
#

2002 volvo s60

#

decent enough looking for a 16 year old car :D

#

currently unemployed and going to school this month so cant do much to it but im planning on facelifting it and painting the plastic trim body colour

#

freshens it up quite nicely

supple chasm
#

that looks amazing for 2002

#

i was surprised with the condition of my car. it is a category D so it has been in accident and put back on the road so there is a few cosmetic flaws but other than that it is perfect

#

got it for around £800

btw, does anyone know a good editing app for mobile that supports 1080p60fps? this adobe one makes the 60fps footage choppy and even more grainy than it already is as it doesnt support 60fps.

you better resto mod that shit

Im planning to~

#

Nothing crazy tho.

stuck crag
#

that thing would be like 40k€ in finland

#

if not more

vital glen
#

I wonder why

ebon field
#

^

fathom socket
#

because classic car prices can be insane, especially iconic ones

#

especially outside of the states because import taxes of the car and / or all the resto parts

vital glen
#

@fathom socket sorry I forgot to add ./s

velvet grove
#

I picked this one up for 1200$ :)
I got it off of a guy named bart, it was his fathers car till he passed away, so it went to his son and he kept it with the intent to get her driving again, he took it nearly all apart, and never found the time or money to put it back together (he also had another 73 challenger so that didnt help) Eventually he put it up for sale and i got my hands on it, she is still all tore apart but i have the skill and motivation to get her burning some rubber when her time comes.

All he asked was that it went to a home where it would be driven again and not parted out.

#

I know where a field of 60's and 70's mustangs and chargers are.... God that is a sight to see,... never saw so many chargers in my life

fathom socket
#

What are some good performance modifications I can do to increase the power of my vehicle other than a cold air intake

#

cold air intake got some downsides

#

it's a pretty minor performance increase for more dust to be sucked inside the intake

#

bit of a gimmick tbh, just sounds good

#

you can re-program the car, but it's gonna be expensive. which car is it?

#

2015 Toyota Rav4 LE 2.5L

#

yeah you can take it to a tuning shop to program the brain of it

#

so if a cold air intake wont work what other mods are there available for me to increase the HP

#

you could prolly get up to a decent 50 HP that way but, expect $500

#

you can get a pedal response box

#

it won't increase your power but it'll give you better throttle response

#

damn

#

I'm also due for new rotors what are the differences between performance (slotted/drilled/vented) rotors vs Normal Rotors?

#

do you need them though? your car should have decent brakes

civic spoke
#

@fathom socket Performance brakes mainly help with cooling off the rotors faster. But it's also there to remove the brake dust that builds up from the pads.

fathom socket
#

if your brakes are old and rusty, you can replace them. if not, i'd just recommend keeping them as-is

#

since it's a relatively new decent SUV, brakes should be good

civic spoke
#

Depending on how the manufacturer designed the brakes. There might be a noticable lip on the brake rotors as they wear down over time. That can be a good indication of when it's getting time to change the rotors.

#

Else you will have to measure the thickness of the rotor to make sure that it's within spec.

fathom socket
#

you can understand from noise.. yeah

civic spoke
#

Well. Worn rotors doesn't always make any special noise.

fathom socket
#

right, older brakes did more

#

but i have heard bad noises from new ones too

civic spoke
#

And I think he mentioned that they were rusted some time back? If it's just surface rust, then you can easily just get rid of it by doing some hard braking from speed.

fathom socket
#

don't do that

#

always drive safe 🙂

civic spoke
#

It's fine to do it if it's just surface rust. Like, if the car has been standing for a week or two.

fathom socket
#

it's not something i'd suggest

#

to do on a public road.

#

it might be surface rust

#

the car was not being used for about 8 months

#

and it rains every day here in alaska

civic spoke
#

Happened with one of the cars we had for work. We hadn't used it for a while, and if you used the brakes lightly, then you could feel that there was some buildup on them. Drove off to a place where I could get up to make 80 kmh, and then I just braked hard.

#

Brakes felt normal after two stops.

fathom socket
#

wait, was it left under rain all the time?

#

well if you have a place like that then it's ok

#

like the middle of nowhere, just don't do it on a road with cars around you. obviously

civic spoke
#

Before you do it, just take a quick look to make sure that you have decent amount of material on both the pads and the rotors.

fathom socket
#

yeah we dont have a garage for it so when it snows heavy here its just left in the drive way that and it wasn't being used for 8 months

#

i had to brake off all the rust build up

#

it breaks fine now but whenever i look at the rotors they look super rusty

#

well..

#

dress up the car, at least don't leave it out in the open like that

civic spoke
#

You might be able to get away with just removing the rotors and give them a good cleanup.

fathom socket
#

nice as for performance parts its not really worth upgrading a rav4

#

should i wait until i get my 2nd car for upgrades

#

thinking about 2019 Subaru WRX STI

#

should i wait until i get my 2nd car for upgrades

civic spoke
#

Another thing to look for on the rotors is scoring. There shouldn't be any weird scoring marks left on the rotors.

fathom socket
#

i did see some rings on the rotors

#

like the rotors are rusty then i see some like rings like something scrapped off the rust

civic spoke
#

The surface should wear fairly evenly on the rotors.

#

This is a rotor that is pretty badly scored.

#

You can see the grooves going round the rotor.

#

Oh, and since you were asking for performance upgrades as well. I wouldn't bother really.

#

The best "upgrades" you can make is probably preventative maintenance.

fathom socket
#

hmmm i'll take a picture of my rotors when i have time

civic spoke
#

Fresh bushings on an older car will do wonders for the handling.

#

If that's the case. Then you could probably get away with just cleaning it up.

#

But you can also see a little bit of scoring on that rotor there. So it can be something to be wary of.

#

If there is enough meat left on the rotors, then I know that you can take them somewhere to have them turned on a lathe.

#

So that they are nice and smooth again.

#

Anyways. I'm off to bed now.

fathom socket
#

thanks bud

fathom socket
#

i wouldn't get a 2019 WRX, too expensive

#

just stick with something like a G37X

fathom socket
#

@late carbon have done 182 kph with mine

late carbon
#

ah

#

so we do about the same speed

fathom socket
#

was aiming for 200 but a car was in front ahead

late carbon
#

LOOL

#

the supercharger in this car kicks in super early

fathom socket
#

mine can go up to 250, governor limitation

fathom socket
#

otherwise it can do 280'ish

late carbon
#

heres my car

#

for noise reference

#

not exact, but same whine

#

I love it

fathom socket
#

ah these older SC car vids..

#

i used to jack off to them a lot.

late carbon
#

I love the supercharger whine

fathom socket
#

same )

late carbon
#

it gives me a different feel when I drive, vs my 4 runner.

fathom socket
#

would love a supercharged infiniti

#

but they're fast without it anyway, heh

late carbon
#

infiniti's are nic e

fathom socket
#

yup

late carbon
#

fuck ic ant type

#

aids

fathom socket
#

😛

late carbon
#

I'm only 18 so

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

fathom socket
#

i'm 26

late carbon
#

ayyy

#

so being 18 and having a mini-race car

#

is pretty nice

#

and how 2 lose your license 101

fathom socket
#

oh a guy pushed me to the street light on the left today

#

with a fucking shit ass van

#

what a fucker

late carbon
#

damn

fathom socket
#

i braked and recovered though

late carbon
#

I hate people sometimes bruh

fathom socket
#

yeah people can drive like shit

late carbon
#

exactly

fathom socket
#

often times when they have crap cars, that envy

late carbon
#

this is interesting

#

🤔

fathom socket
#

looks lovely

#

GTP prolly..

late carbon
#

Yeah, mine is an 08 Grand Prix GTP

fathom socket
#

i mean on this video 🙂

late carbon
#

yeah

fathom socket
#

close call

late carbon
#

very

#

and that GTR is all stock

fathom socket
#

GTR is a very nice car but very expensive

#

you should see this, sick car but downhill drag strip. kek

late carbon
#

ouch my ears

#

holy shit

fathom socket
#

yeah they draggers loud

late carbon
#

I would love to drag my GTP

#

just to see how much I can push it

fathom socket
#

did you dyno it?

late carbon
#

nope

#

nothing

fathom socket
#

yeah, thought so

late carbon
#

I'm a kid

#

as long as it goes fast

#

all is good

#

😃

fathom socket
#

how much horse though you assume?

#

like 400 maybe?

late carbon
#

I'm going to assume

#

400

#

yeah

fathom socket
#

good stuff

late carbon
#

cause again, it's supercharged and everything is perfect on it.

fathom socket
#

nice

late carbon
#

shouldn't have a problem with it tbh

#

it did 115mph pretty easily

#

so

fathom socket
#

for the most part, yes

#

as long as the bay is well built, and i presume it is

late carbon
#

I mean my father is an auto machinic

#

so I bought it off him

#

so

#

so everything is pretty much spotless, I remember him telling me a couple months ago that he cleaned the entire car top to bottom cause he was bored at work one day for hours.

#

so

#

there's that, if that gives you any detail on how well the car stands.

fathom socket
#

mine needs a bit of cleaning as well the brakes are kinda rusty even though it's being used regularly

#

and the cat pipe etc are rusty as well

#

thing is still good though mostly

#

2011 103.5k kms

late carbon
#

how many hp is yours

fathom socket
#

211 quattro petrol

late carbon
#

ah

#

mine has 80k miles

#

it's originally a florida owned car

fathom socket
#

i have a chip + throttle response box for it but i don't use them

late carbon
#

and in michigan a florida owned car is great

#

0 rust on it too

#

the pin stripes are starting to show age, but those are getting removed soon.

fathom socket
#

well yeah if your dad looked after it like that, it's prolly shiny chromey

late carbon
#

yeah it is

#

also has custom rims in the garage

fathom socket
#

i like my rims, they're the prestige package ones

late carbon
#

but it hasn't been driven in 2 years and sat in the garage both summers cause originally it was his 'summer' car

#

so I threw him an offer of 9k and he took it

fathom socket
#

hehe

late carbon
#

😃

#

free labor and family love

#

he doesn't approve of my horrendous spending habits tho

#

which is most likely why he sold it to me, cause he hates me being young with money after the amount of shit i buy

This is the second time I've seen someone told to condense messages. What's the reason?

vital glen

because long paragraph = the devil as stated by the rules

civic spoke

So should I just reply to that with a "k" then? 🤔

vital glen

no

civic spoke
#

I guess people can also check out the car thread on the forum. But I'm not active there.

#

At least not anymore.

vital glen
#

car forums are useful
until the one guy starts talking about putting a turbo and a wing on their prius

#

and then proceeds to send picutres

lime copper
#

@civic spoke @vital glen @agile sonnet it's more about sporadic spam posting because people can't finish a single thought in a single message, so they spampost more than two posts when they should have posted the thought in a single message.

vital glen
#

ok, mr. i want a real irc client but I use discord

lime copper
#

I never used IRC, but I hate bloat.

#

I'd like as many messages as possible to fit on the screen as possible while still maintaining a nice UI. I also don't like ugly-ass profile pics that I cannot moderate.

agile sonnet
#

Ahhh. Since I have the standard ui, it just groups them together without all the extra stuff. Makes sense! Thank you for showing that.

you can EASILY have a good condition Q50 hybrid around $30k

it's still a prius..

that would be TOTAL MSRP

vital glen
#

@fathom socket that's just some crappy Nissan and it is a crossover

fathom socket
#

it's not as bad as you make it out to be

#

far better than a prius.

vital glen
#

Crossovers are pretty bad

fathom socket
#

not all of them, no.

vital glen
#

Unless it says Jeep Wrangler, all of them

fathom socket
#

lol bullshit.. GLA 45 is great

vital glen
#

No

fathom socket
#

yes.

#

prove me wrong

vital glen
#

A) a lot of plastic
B) crossover
C) unreliable

fathom socket
#

it being a crossover doesn't mean it's shit, you made the third fact up and the plastic is arguable

#

there are lots of good cars out there that have a lot of plastic in them.

vital glen
#

It has a lot of plastic under the hood

#

Too much

fathom socket
#

so what? it's still reliable

vital glen
#

No, they crack

fathom socket
#

it's not like the engine bay is made using plastic, the plastic covers it

#

lol cracking plastic on a GLA 45 AMG.. yeah.

#

maybe one or two parts that are heated, thing is new.

vital glen
#

@fathom socket because it is new, they can use plastic fuel rails?

fathom socket
#

another made up fact from mr. awesum.

#

my A4 quattro uses just as much plastic, even some aluminum sheet on the sides of the engine bay and that has been one of the LEAST of my concerns regarding reliability of the car.

Unibody SUV's are trash compared to body on frame

foggy mist
#

If engine swapping in Belgium was only legal.. Ahh that car would be on my list to get

fathom socket
#

you can't just claim X or Y car is trash without understanding the basics of how it works and what it is regarding performance, comfort and so on

#

the GLA 45 spoken here has a solid mercedes engine along with %100 torque split AWD, like 350-400 HP and a great interior. if you want an SUV, it IS one of THE SUVs

#

regarding that, the infiniti i suggested him is similar to that SUV and therefore it is actually a decent SUV. for the money, far better than a lot of cars ESPECIALLY a prius or even anything that says toyota on it unless lexus.. last but not the least older wrangler interiors were a joke, like no infotainment screen even. they then put in cheap navi + DVD pioneer'ish units which have not been a comparison to things like audi's MMI. only new wranglers got proper interior and they cost

vital glen
#

@foggy mist wait
engine swaps are illegal?

#

those are some great laws

fathom socket
#

illuminatists doing a dumb car show.. oh great.

vital glen
#

What?

#

illuminatists?

fathom socket
#

i won't bother explaining you that on this place since you can't seem to be understanding the shit behind what you watch on TV.

#

anyway, i wouldn't bother engine swapping that toyota. it's such a small and lightweight car, and is not really a beast car. it you're thinking to put in a bigger block into it, it will go out of control rather easily.

Yeah Belgium is like the one of the few that has that illegal

"Power output 125 kW (170 HP) at 6,400 rpm" beyond that will depend on modding

#

sure, it's a quiet a bit of power for a tiny car but meh

#

also it needs high RPMs to deliver that power, it's not worth speaking about around 4k RPM likely.

there was just one problem when i sat in that car and it was the spacing between the driver seat door and my left leg, i could barely move my left leg to the side.. pretty much a school seat car for me. otherwise, solid 2000's car. especially the R-version..

stuck crag

im pretty big and dont have any issues, the older rwd ones have less room.

fathom socket

hmm

#

you sure it was a s60?

#

or not something like a s40

#

s40 barely has any room

#

and it isnt at the same quality level as these

fathom socket
#

yeah, S60. we went to check one out. it was a 2010 or 09, that chassis and T5

stuck crag

they made the mk1 from 2000 to 2009 (oof)

#

in 2004 it got a facelift

mine is 2002

i have been thinking of selling this but then again i could play the end user part and just save up for mk2 s80 v8

#

i want that v8 model so bad

fathom socket
#

heh

stuck crag
#

it's not even that bad on gas, something like 9-13L/100km less than R models or even the T6 and T5.

#

the v8 s80 i mean

#

this current s60 is a D5 so basicly it's running on fumes lol :D if i drive nicely it will be below 4L/100km

@fathom socket the V10 in that car is nice indeed

@fathom socket but the problem is maintenance

and the problems they have

it's a quattro btw

our 528i is msport

we've hit 120mph on the highway before

nice, ours is the premium package as well

#

yeah that was about it, i saw something like 182 kph on the speedometer before braking

It was a AU spec omega

#

It was the same trim we got

#

Except we had 300 other trim options and body styles

fathom socket
#

point is, you can handle the power of LS9 in it.. sure, it CAN go out of control but you can handle it

serene jetty
#

Yeah but the platform needs a good amount of work to handle it

fathom socket
#

yes but it's possible

#

that's the point

serene jetty
#

Anyway

#

4.0L Inline 6 massive single turbo

fathom socket
#

not bad at all

#

but they all need AWD for me

serene jetty
#

Lol

fathom socket
#

what lol?

serene jetty
#

You won't get that here

fathom socket
#

do i look like i don't know it?

serene jetty
#

On a commodore or falcon

#

Lol

fathom socket
#

i said "need" and they don't have it

#

that was my point..

serene jetty
#

Okay calm ye farm

fathom socket
#

i just want my cars to be AWD that's all

serene jetty
#

AWD isn't all amazing

fathom socket
#

yes it is

serene jetty
#

Top end isn't as great as a rwd

fathom socket
#

maybe not for you, and depends

serene jetty
#

Launch and acceleration and handling would be better but top speed would be beaten out by rwd

#

I prefer awd too

fathom socket
#

lol top speed

#

who the fuck goes at 300 kph on public roads..

serene jetty
#

But I'd prefer a dynamic system

#

Me

#

Lmao

fathom socket
#

that's the crazy you.

serene jetty
#

Lmao if no one is watching

fathom socket
#

i care about my life thanks

serene jetty
#

Lmao there ain't no danger on an empty highway

fathom socket
#

yes there still is with a shit RWD car

#

it will jiggle all over the road left to right

serene jetty
#

Who said I drove shit rwd lmao

#

I drive a good rwd

fathom socket
#

well what do you drive?

#

it's still a shit idea with that car likely

serene jetty
#

1999 Nissan R34 25GT

fathom socket
#

not a good idea

serene jetty
#

Its perfectly solid

#

Its not super fast

fathom socket
#

no, you're too young to understand that going 300 kph on a road open to public is dangerous, that's it

serene jetty
#

Im stuck with an N/A RB25 neo

#

Too young? You haven't even known me for 1 hour and your already assuming my age

fathom socket
#

it actually doesn't matter whether you're on an airplane road even

#

you need some racing car

serene jetty
#

And its all banter mate

fathom socket
#

it's obvious

serene jetty
#

Take some shit stirring

fathom socket
#

you're probably around 20 if not younger lmao

#

go kill yourself with that old car at 300 kph

serene jetty
#

He's technically not right but he's not wrong

#

Lmao I don't even make 300

fathom socket
#

you're missing the point

serene jetty
#

At best ive done 160

#

In a 140 zone

fathom socket
#

that's good for you, you're not putting lives in such danger 🙂

serene jetty
#

Nice to see lives in danger in the middle of nowhere with no one in sight for miles

fathom socket
#

it's still ONE life in danger but if you're going to keep on being foolish then wtf should i care right?

serene jetty
#

Lmao

#

Nice triggering

fathom socket
#

yup..

serene jetty
#

Typical yanks can't tell a shit take from reality

fathom socket
#

no, only fools like you love watching those 1320videos and then thinking it's safe to go at 300 kph using a 98 RWD nissan

#

bad job at guessing where i am from, secondly

serene jetty
#

300kph
n/a 2.5L Inline 6 rwd

Yeah nah

#

Also I never claimed to be safe

#

Thats just your assumption

fathom socket
#

you pretty much are saying it is

Not really

I'm just saying that I did it once with no one around

I actually don't like high boost engines. They are way too peaky at the top range, and you are only in the boost for a short period.

For drivability, they're not ideal. Basically it's just for fun because there is so much power all of a sudden

@gusty carbon that's some real German engineering

ohh the vw xD sozz

#

OHhhh have you guys heard of the new development of "flow" battrys

#

instant charging and can output both electric and hydrogen power

#

electric cars are litrally going to be, top up and go like petrol/diesel very soon

vital glen
#

@wooden raft the stress that battery will be in oml

wooden raft
#

they recon they can handle extreme discharge and charging

#

hence the huge investments in development now

vital glen
#

I want to see the recorded testings of this tech

wooden raft
#

the new nano liquid holds the charge, so by replacing the liquid in the battry you replace the charge

vital glen
#

I do love buzz words

wooden raft
#

? nothing to do with buzz words...... its real.

vital glen
#

Oh no "nano-tech" is a real thing but also a buzz word
Like cloud and other things like that

wooden raft
#

thats because nano technology is real...

#

nano is just a term for very small

vital glen
wooden raft
#

shall we call it very small tech instead?

vital glen
#

No
Just saying it is what it is

wooden raft
#

so calling it what it is, is buzz words? nice, reallllll nice

#

😃

#

so everything is a buzz word in that definition

vital glen
#

No, a word or phrase, often an item of jargon, that is fashionable at a particular time or in a particular context.

wooden raft
#

but you miss the point in the advancements of battery technology, if they crack this and make it safe (IE dosnt explode into flames like lithium) its 100% the future

vital glen
#

Did I ever said it wasn't, I am pretty sure I said it is

wooden raft
#

never mind.

#

hardly fashionable, it anything below a certian size has always been called nano.

#

and its not jargon either, its fact

vital glen
#

Jargon: special words or expressions that are used by a particular profession or group and are difficult for others to understand.

yep, now post the next bit, dont cherry pick

@wooden raft What I am cherry picking?

wooden raft

archaic
a form of language regarded as barbarous, debased, or hybrid.

vital glen

very old or old-fashioned.

wooden raft

all ive done is mention a new advancement and your picking at it..... that would be jargon.

you should be excited.

It is some very cool tech

Same with some dude in his Peugeot 208

#

I remember someone cut us off at a fucking highway

civic girder
#

It was dark and I'm getting on the on ramp. I get up to 66 and set the cruise. Then I look over my left to see if I'm good, and I'm good. Then all of a sudden there's a jeep wrangler 2 inches from my door.

#

How much is the maxM

civic girder

Max speed

#

Before u go to jail

civic girder
#

The road I'm talking about has no speed limit signs

#

but I'm pretty sure its 55

near grove
#

How many lanes?

civic girder
#

2

#

1 in each direction

near grove
#

Aha so a one lane for one side type of thing

civic girder
#

Pretty typical US country road

near grove
#

Ama be honest

civic girder
#

we call them 2 lane highways

near grove
#

Xd

#

How much are other people driving?

civic girder
#

at least 60 usually. especially at 6 am when they're late for work

#

afternoons when there's more traffic people tend to go 55 or 50. I usually go 52 on that road all the time, because fuel economy

#

and then there's the ass going 25

near grove
#

yes

#

If ur the ass

#

Going 25

#

Ur an ass

#

Thats why i asked how much is everyone going

kmh is honestly stupid. like feet and inches are stupid, but mph is better

mph makes more sense. You say 100kmh and I'm like bruh thats fast, then I realize its only 60 mph

near grove
#

Feet and inches

#

Are shit

civic girder
#

yes

near grove
#

Kilometers and meters best

#

Miles bad

#

I spit on you

civic girder
#

meters are better. but mph makes more sense

near grove
#

How does it make more sense?

civic girder
#

Idk. I went to Canada this summer and the speed limit on the interstate was 100kmh. Which is slower than most US highways.

near grove
#

Thats 60mph

civic girder
#

100khm = 60 mph. And we go 65 on most 4 lane

#

sometimes 70

#

or 75

near grove
#

Same here in europe

civic girder
#

80 is extremely rare

near grove
#

Fyrom

#

We drive 160 on bumpy roads lol

#

Kmh

#

wtf is that in mph

near grove
#

I think 100mph

Yup

#

Thats 100
