People underestimate distance and reaction time

#

"Nah it's fine"

#

Crashes

stoic ledge
#

And most of the time they crash in to other cars, themselves walking away with minor/no injuries but the people in the other car have injuries for life/death

wheat hatch
#

Ya

stoic ledge
#

It's not fair

wheat hatch
#

I have friends who are on their phone all the time

stoic ledge
#

I literally take it out of their hands

#

Like fck you

wheat hatch
#

And it's very uncomfortable riding with them ๐Ÿ˜…

#

Yeah, they have become better tho

#

Nowadays I just tell them, "Tell me what to write, and you keep your focus on driving"

stoic ledge
#

Better

wheat hatch
#

Because I know I can't remove the phone from them completely ๐Ÿ˜…

stoic ledge
#

I also had a head-on last friday because a women was on her phone

wheat hatch
#

OOF

stoic ledge
#

I have a video of it, w8 ๐Ÿ˜›

wheat hatch
#

Sheesh

stoic ledge
#

Luckily my horn skillz are on point

#

๐Ÿ™ƒ

wheat hatch
#

Ey

#

Nice driving line moron

#

Good reaction from you

stoic ledge
#

๐Ÿ‘ฉ

#

Thnx (:

#

I cut of the video right before the swearing started (:

wheat hatch
#

LOL

#

You just don't want us to hear your voice

stoic ledge
#

Yeah it sucks

#
  • it's dutch swearing
#

Which is probably something foreigners like xD

wheat hatch
#

But yeah, people need to stop looking at their phone

#

While driving

#

Social media can wait

#

:/

stoic ledge
#

I really hate it when people do

#

Tbh fines are not high enough, and I'm saying that in a country with high fines

wheat hatch
#

Well

#

No matter the fine

#

I think it's more about people not realizing the consequences of their actions before it's too late

stoic ledge
#

Nobody does these days

#

It's all ME ME ME

#

Others second

wheat hatch
#

Have you seen the video of the German police officer who confronted people taking pictures of an accident?

stoic ledge
#

Yes

#

Good video

wheat hatch
#

Yeah, pretty much that kind of thing is needed for people to realize

stoic ledge
#

Probably they'd still do the same next time

wheat hatch
#

I guess ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

stoic ledge
#

It's sad GWmythiFeelsBadMan

#

The other day a Volvo XC60 crashed in to a stationary police car at the highway on a blocked lane due to an earlier accident... Guess the cause

wheat hatch
#

Phone

stoic ledge
#

Omg how did you know

wheat hatch
#

Well people are stubborn as hell

#

Like my friends

#

I had two friends who were constantly drink and driving

stoic ledge
#

Reeeeeeeeeeeeee

wheat hatch
#

Yeah, it was bad

stoic ledge
#

Srsly I'd call the police if they did

#

Idc

wheat hatch
#

I would as well

#

Just didn't know at the time

stoic ledge
#

Yeah ok

#

Well if I see them doing it

#

I'd call

wheat hatch
#

I got to know it after one of them got arrested and had his license revoked

#

That's when I got the info

stoic ledge
#

I did call the police once for a drunk driver Fiat 500

wheat hatch
#

And that's also when I lashed out on them
They have stopped doing it since then

#

Oh damn

stoic ledge
#

Had to use my phone for 2 seconds tho while driving ๐Ÿ‘€ But that's worth it imho

#

Unlock > Ok Google, call 112

wheat hatch
#

Sheesh I mean of course

#

There are exceptions of course

stoic ledge
#

Had to take a detour but /care

#

Safety > all

#

Too bad I was in my parents car without dashcam

wheat hatch
#

Did they get the person?

stoic ledge
#

Yes

#

Iirc 3-4x tho maximum allowed value

#

They tanked me for calling ๐Ÿ™ƒ

wheat hatch
#

Well done ๐Ÿ˜„

#

Just checked the distance my friends used to drive while drinking

stoic ledge
#

Thankfully it was a dutch (southern-dutch) holiday so not many people on the road

wheat hatch
#

Back and forth it's around 72 kilometers

#

๐Ÿคฆ

stoic ledge
#

Wtf

Pls don't

wheat hatch

Yah it was bad

wheat hatch
#

@civic spoke honestly? I'm sad. ๐Ÿ˜…

civic spoke
#

Same.

wheat hatch
#

I really wanted it to be RWD

#

๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

And not too fond of the new look

#

Looks a bit too "bubbly" so to say

#

Bloated?

#

Not sure

civic spoke
#

Yeah, I know what you mean.

wheat hatch
#

๐Ÿ˜„

#

But yeah, I wish they stuck to being RWD

civic spoke
#

Gone is the 6 cylinder, RWD

wheat hatch
#

That's the major part for me

#

Oh, what engine do they have now?

#

4-cylinder?

civic spoke
#

Yeah

wheat hatch
#

Hol up

civic spoke
#

Transverse 4 cylinder.

wheat hatch
#

Why they gotta do dis

civic spoke
#

Which is part of the reason for its look.

wheat hatch
#

Ah

#

I wonder what the horsepower figures are going to be

#

If it's even remotely close to the A45S AMG

civic spoke
#

I think the 4 cylinder is rated for just above 300 hp.

wheat hatch
#

I think the A45S was going to push something like 400+ hp...

civic spoke
#

I meant for the M135i

wheat hatch
#

Ah yeah I know

#

But like, in comparison

civic spoke
#

The old A45 already had 400 hp

wheat hatch
#

Oh damn

#

I haven't been up to date then

#

When the A45 almost has as many horses as a BMW 3 & 4 Series

civic spoke
#

Oh, wait. Wiki says that it had 376 hp

wheat hatch
#

Still quite a lot for a stock 4-banger

civic spoke
#

New one gets over 400 hp. With 500 Nm

wheat hatch
#

Sweats

#

Well, Mercedes have been quite horsepower happy recent years

#

I like that they have kept raising the horsepower in their cars over the years

#

The rest feels like they have gotten stuck in time or something

#

(Now I know that horsepower isn't everything, but it's nice to see progression, so to say)

civic spoke
#

I don't know why I thought about Dodge when you mentioned getting stuck in time.

wheat hatch
#

Maybe design?

civic spoke
#

Putting the Hellcat engine in all the cars.

wheat hatch
#

๐Ÿ˜…

#

When Audi released the new RS4 and RS5 I was hoping for at least horsepower in the 500+ area

#

But they stayed in the 450 area like the previous gen ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

Meanwhile AMG:

civic spoke
#

Damn. The Challenger is getting stupid old now.

wheat hatch
#

Is it as bad as the 370Z?

civic spoke
#

Worse.

#

370Z is 2009

wheat hatch
#

woah

#

2008???

civic spoke
#

Yeah

wheat hatch
#

11 Years on the same platform...

#

_>

civic spoke
#

But to be fair on Dodge. They have actually came out with a bunch of different engine options and such.

wheat hatch
#

Yeah I guess, they have made some changes at least

#

Nissan and the 370Z is so out dated as it gets

#

Like, end it, kill it, it's over

#

๐Ÿ˜…

civic spoke
#

Dodge Charger has a widebody option now as well. starX

wheat hatch
#

Oh ya, saw that

#

quite neat

#

BUT

#

One things I have to say about the charger

#

I really hate the rear lower part of the rear bumper

#

A bit underwhelming for a high horsepower car

#

Was expecting something more aggressive

civic spoke
#

Last generation BMW's were some of the better looking ones.

wheat hatch
#

Love the F30 facelift headlights

#

The LCI upgrade

civic spoke
#

The M3 Competition package is also ๐Ÿ‘Œ

wheat hatch
#

Yeh, BMW's bigger cars look nice (except for the ones with a stupid large grill)

stoic ledge
#

Tbh in real life they look quite good

#

They look worse on photos

rotund matrix

why...?

#

it's just as safe/protected as a gas car in rain lol

stoic ledge
#

Well gas cars usually don't catch on fire randomly... Tesla's do sometimes ๐Ÿ˜›

civic spoke
#

@fathom socket That guy has been on the brakes way too much. Looks like he doesn't have brake regen active???

fathom socket
civic spoke
#

A Tesla shouldn't have that much brake dust on their rims.

fathom socket
#

sometimes when i brake

#

i get a crunchy boy noise

#

on my drivers front side

#

but i looked at the pad is thicc

civic spoke
#

How does the rotor look?

fathom socket
#

new

civic spoke
#

When you say 'crunchy boy noise'. What do you mean?

fathom socket
#

like i hit the brakes and as i come to a stop it's crunchy

#

at low speed

#

but i took the wheel off and everything looks good

#

could it be the cv joint

rotund matrix
#

pretty sure my CV joints are fucked. mine makes audible "clunks" or "crunch"es whenever i turn sometimes. not consistent but definitely there.

#

wouldn't surprise me given the car is 7 years old w/ 145k miles

civic spoke
#

@fathom socket Raise up the wheel in the air. And jerk around the wheel. There shouldn't be much of any play with the wheel.

indigo coral
#

I have a clunk in the back but it's just a sway bar linkage has some movement in it. I have the new part just haven't gotten around to installing yet

fossil imp
#

@fathom socket probably worn bushes

fathom socket
#

how do i change out the bushing to polyurethane fancy boys danP

fossil imp
#

depends on which part, u might need a press, usually brute force is required ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

just take it to a mechanic for a check over, its not expensive to replace bushings

#

well depending on how many need changing

indigo coral

stoic ledge
#

Still the doors not locking?

fossil imp
#

fix or repair daily ๐Ÿค”

fair bronze
#

Doors not locking? Could be a corroded electrical contact

#

The RR door on my car actually had the opposite problem, it stayed locked and didn't unlock

#

I cleaned the contacts at the frond end of the door, problem solved

stoic ledge
#

Corrosion on a 2014 Explorer ๐Ÿ‘€ I hope not

indigo coral
#

It's intermittent onall the doors

#

It won't Power lock or unlock

#

And now the front doors won't lock even if you manually donit

stoic ledge
#

Nice

#

Just Googled a bit, turns out you're not the only one with that issue. Can't find a fix tho ๐Ÿ˜›

That seems about right

indigo coral
#

Rip

#

My car has power lock issues a bit too, but just bc the little plastic part has worn down over thousands of unlocks in the past 20 years

#

Nowhere near as bad as the explorer though

stoic ledge
#

Ah but that's just the switch in the key fob I reckon?

indigo coral
#

no, the little plastic part in the door that pushes the switch to locked or unlocked

#

Cheap and easy fix I just haven't gotten around to

stoic ledge
#

Ah switches like that... Who uses them lol

indigo coral
#

Lots of Japanese manufacturers

stoic ledge
#

Also not common on EU cars so, some Japanese cars have them

#

Yes

#

Alright yall, who is wanting a puzzle to solve

#

Must be familiar with PATS and fords PCM's as a whole

#

It goes like this

#

2000 mustang, auto to manual swap. Auto pcm cant be used because obvs, and I can't just throw the manual pcm in there because its married to the key and instrument cluster.

#

So there are a couple options

#

Flash the auto pcm to manual, turning off all shift points and anything related to the auto trans. And disable PATS. About 250ish usd on Ebay and about a weeks worth of time

#

Take the manual pcm from parts car and disable PATS through tune (75 usd from ebay). But I'm not sure this will work. I have read it will, and have read it wont. I will be using the manual wiring harness for the trans and the pedal assembly yada yada yada

#

Or I can buy my own tuner, (SCT, Delta force etc etc) but they run about $400 usd. I can get the tunes for PATS disabling and auto trans if I choose that route

#

All online and for free

#

This also allows future growth with future upgrades and proper tuning

#

No one around me can do this (I've checked as far as 3-4 hours out)

#

So what do yall think

#

I think manual pcm with PATS delete is the way

abstract moss
#

Your conclusion is probably the cheapest. Tune doesn't disable PATS then just file a claim and get your money back

tall kiln
#

I just dont want to lose the money on the pcm and costs of shipping ya know?

#

Ford isnt sure they can do it but they damn sure want me to make me an appointment for $$$

C8 Corvette Reveal on right now

fathom socket
#

The point in the front looks like it was stolen from the Lamborghini Reventon

civic spoke
#

No manual option for the C8

torpid dune
#

That's a good looking McLaren.

civic spoke
#

HAH. I said that it looked like a McLaren also.

torpid dune
#

Makes sense, I made the same joke in the RCR Discord.

civic spoke
#

But really. Not a bad car for the price. It seems.

hexed shore
#

Looks like a GTA car more than anything, to me at least lol

wheat hatch
#

Gotta agree with the McLaren comment, really does look like one.
And I have to say, although I kinda like it, there is something on it that just puts me off a bit.
I think it might be the proportions and the shape of the car, not sure though. ๐Ÿ˜…

civic spoke
#

The AC controls, etc look so out of place.

#

Just a damn long strip with all the buttons.

stoic ledge
#

People: ThE sUpRa Is NoT a SuPrA aNyMoRe ItS a BmW
The same people: Wow the new Corvette is cool

Tbh the new Corvette is less of a Corvette than the Supra is a Supra.. changing the Corvette from front-engined to mid-engined while the Supra is still front-engined RWD 3.0TT, but hey who am I ๐Ÿ˜›

civic spoke
#

I mean. I don't honestly mind the new Supra.

stoic ledge
#

Wasn't towards you... Just people in general ๐Ÿ˜›

#

Tbh the Corvette... Looks strange to me, front-end kinda looks like a F430, other parts look like a McLaren, and the rear is just ugly

#

Interior is GWloopyGok tho design wise... Not sure if it's practical ๐Ÿ˜›

torpid dune
#

I'm the kind of weirdo who would spend the money on one of them thar AMG-powered E-class wagons over one of these.

stoic ledge
#

(not suggesting a sports car should be practical, but those buttons...)

torpid dune
#

But that's because wagons are cool.

civic spoke
#

People don't mind the Corvette as much because it's still made by the same people. And it going mid-engine was something that had to happen.

stoic ledge
#

Wagons GWsoraeDabmoji

The C7 couldn't handle the power it had. At least not with the Z06 and ZR1.

Because V12 is delicious.

stoic ledge
#

Old peoples car

#

Apparently they are in the US, nearly never seen them in Europe tho

civic spoke
#

Isn't the SL discontinued?

#

And the V12 is pretty much just found in the S-Class now.

torpid dune
#

No, they're still going.

#

The S and the SL are the last places to find Mercedes V12s.

stoic ledge
#

SL can still be ordered ^^

torpid dune
#

My favorite car in the world has been discontinued since 2016. Means it's easier to find it used.

#

Still not sure if I'd rather have one of those or an NG 9-5.

stoic ledge
#

Dodge Grand Caravan ๐Ÿ‘€

#

Those are discontinued in 2016

civic spoke
#

I can't find a place to configure the SL65 starX

#

SL63, yes. Not the 65

torpid dune
#

DB9.

stoic ledge
#

Aston โค

#

SL65 is still in our price list apparently, but we don't have a configurator anymore. Germany for example has a configurator but only the SL400 and SL500, no AMG

So GWloopyBlobShrug

#

Saab 9-5 NG is cool, but I want the SC

civic spoke
#

Same here, MK

stoic ledge
#

Those are really โค

torpid dune
#

That's 9-5.

civic spoke
#

Reminded me of Matt Farah and his Aston

torpid dune
#

The Saab 95 is a very, very different car.

stoic ledge
#

I know but typing the - on mobile is meh

torpid dune
#

It still matters a lot.

stoic ledge
#

Fixed, specially for you

torpid dune
#

Otherwise you're looking at one of these.

#

Not that that's a bad thing, the 95 is a cutie.

stoic ledge
#

To be fair, the 9-5 badge is more a 9^5 badge

civic spoke
torpid dune
#

Well yeah, but the manual says 9-5 all over it.

#

@civic spoke ASTON MARTIN CALL IT THE VANQUISH, WE CALL IT THE VANISH

civic spoke
stoic ledge
#

Nice that Ford Focus stereo in there

civic spoke
#

It has a third pedal.

#

The Vanquish wasn't made with a manual.

stoic ledge
#

Ah yes I've read about those

torpid dune
#

It was, it just had a pair of paddles attached to it instead of a proper lever.

stoic ledge
#

Automatics breaking, people converting them to manuals

torpid dune
#

That's why you go through the windshield every time you change gear.

#

As opposed to the automatic the DB9's paddles are attached to.

stoic ledge
#

Computer controlled manual are the worst

torpid dune
#

Much like automatics, they only work if they're programmed/put together right, and they often aren't.

#

Getting back to the 95, I just remembered this piece of curiosity exists.

stoic ledge
#

๐Ÿ‘€

torpid dune
#

Your new dream car.

#

Saab ads of the time were something special. Horrible instances exist of them airing the standard Swedish ad with very, very poor English dubbing.

civic spoke
#

Computer controlled manuals is basically the only thing you can buy for trucks these days.

#

Or if I should call them semi's/lorries.

torpid dune
#

HPVs?

#

DA BIG ONES WITH DA TSHHHHHH NOISE

stoic ledge
#

Well for a truck/lorry/semi they are probably fine...

#

That Saab commercial is GWloopyGok ^^

torpid dune
#

Found one of the badly dubbed ones.

civic spoke
#

Fine because trucks often have 12 gears or there abouts.

#

Gives me goose bumps.

torpid dune
#

That's the big cry for help, just a little too late.

stoic ledge
#

That 96 is very badly dubbed indeed xD

BioPower was E85 no?

torpid dune
#

Yeah.

civic spoke
#

It is, yeah

torpid dune
#

Now I know I've linked this in here before, but this place likes to move pretty fast.

civic spoke
#

Wasn't the 900 Turbo the fastest accelrating car on the freeway?

#

Like from 30-60 mph or something like that

torpid dune
#

It was up there, yeah.

stoic ledge
#

Turbo Turbo

torpid dune
#

Saab maintained that kind of figure fairly consistently.

#

My 9-5 Aero, for instance, outstrips 911 Turbos from 40-70.

#

So Porsche themselves claim.

#

(Or at least they did in 2003, when my 9-5 Aero was new.)

stoic ledge
#

The B235R engine of the 9-5 Aero was capable of providing immense torque and, in terms of acceleration, outperformed the contemporary Porsche 911 Turbo from 40-90ย mph.

#

According to Wikipedia

torpid dune
#

And apparently, according to Clarkson.

civic spoke
#

Oh, it was originally with the Saab 9000 Aero. So basically the 9-5

#

But I read up on it some more. I think it was done in 5th gear.

#

Instead of starting from the ideal gear.

torpid dune
#

The point is, Saab historically excels in mid-range performance.

#

The weight and the turbo lag means getting up from a standstill is difficult.

civic spoke
#

I can't really call it a fair test. tbh. But Saab still kicked some butt with its low/mid-end grunt.

torpid dune
#

It certainly does me good in this dreary college town full of idiots in SN95s racing anything that blinks.

#

The fact that it can muster this kind of performance at all is the most astounding part, especially when accounting for the fact that it weighs 3500 lbs and is driven by the front wheels.

wheat hatch
#

Oh lord

#

That strip of buttons look like a nightmare

#

Holy moly

stoic ledge
#

Wow it's a Suzuki Swift convertible ๐Ÿ˜›

#

(Geo Metro in the US iirc ?)

wheat hatch
#

Man that line of button got me facked up

#

It's not intuitive at all with that design

#

Passenger has to reach up, while the driver has to reach backwards?
Even if it's backwards, it's not a good system

stoic ledge
#

Bottom is driver probably... But yeah wierd placement

indigo coral
#

Yeah it's super awkward looking

wheat hatch
#

Yeah, even more awkward for the passenger.
Has to reach forward each time one wants increase and decrease the temperature.

indigo coral
#

@stoic ledge we had both the suzuki version, the Geo Metro and the Chevy Prizm

civic spoke
stoic ledge
#

@indigo coral Chevrolet Prizm? I think you mean Chevrolet Sprint. Prizm was a Toyota Corolla iirc.

Funny to see (or actually, awfull) to see it had such many variants: Suzuki Swift/Cultus/..., Subaru Justy, Geo Metro, Chevy Sprint, Pontiac Firefly... All the same shitty car ๐Ÿ˜›

indigo coral
#

whatever it was

#

little shitboxes

stoic ledge
#

Yes they are

flat lantern
indigo coral
#

depends are you running out to buy it, or do you already own it/get it for cheap? ๐Ÿ˜›

flat lantern
#

lucky me I didn't have to pay for it but my dad does and it cost about $13,000 for it with 150,000 miles on it.

#

Also, *this fucker guzzles gas like it's nothing. Prpbably cause it has a V8 HEMI engine in it.

tall kiln
#

throw it away and do not look back

#

Do not buy anything dodge

#

This is coming from a dodge owner

#

Get out while you still can

#

Go buy a shitbox metro, it will give you less problems

#

Plus you can litterally lift the engine out by hand

flat lantern
#

How long did you have your truck for?

#

Also, I'm not very strong so I highly doubt I could lift the engine out by hand. And also, did you maintain the truck?

#

Cause from what I've heard, if you haul a lot of heavy shit in it, that'll lower the lifespan of it.

#

@tall kiln

indigo coral
#

I've got a v6 that drinks gas like it's going out of style too

#

Lol

tall kiln

I still have it

Mine is a 97 with a 5.9, so granted yours is 13 years newer, but it's the same platform, just different body style

I mean you probably could walk away from in accident in that, but safety ratings were meager. I would rather have something smaller with more spacial awareness for a first vehicle

Go buy a $1000 car and drive it till the wheels fall off and get something new

Anyone here familiar with importing cars to the USA like jdm cars? I've heard mix things about it being illegal to drive and have insured cars that do not meet us road requirements. Like if I bought Japanese version Nissan Silvia S15.

My understanding is that certain cars are deemed illegal due to their designs not meeting USA requirements. However other cars are allowed despite being a right-hand steering vehicle.

stoic ledge
#

Shouldn't they be > 25 years old?

vital glen
#

The USA has a 25yr

#

waiting period for all imported vehicles

#

depending on the state you live it may never become road legal

#

@solar river

#

though this isn't the case for most states

#

most of the time it will be registered under historic tags

#

or if your state has no safety or emissions testing

#

then non specialty plates

solar river
#

There you go that was one of the other things I read about, Dang most of the cars I would like to have and use fall over the 25 year. It has to be over 25 years to be deemed bad correct?

vital glen
#

What?

#

You can not legally import a car into the us that isn't 25yr olds

solar river
#

No nvm I'm reading up a gov article on it right now

vital glen
#

You can ship the car in pieces to get in the us, but that is a different story

#

there is some stuff you can do to get around the laws

#

it isn't worth it though, just wait for 25yrs

solar river
#

I see so it has to be over, well that makes it easier then. I'll look more into it, I've seen some good auctions for some vehicles even if shipping is expensive 10k

vital glen
#

though when importing you have to go through a lot of shit

#

to get it registered after the fact

fathom socket
#

25 years, goes down to the year and month

solar river
#

Yeah from that vehicle manufacture date

vital glen
#

Unless you really got a hole burning full of money and time in your pocket importing isn't a good idea

fathom socket
#

you could go to japanese classics llc, that website is pretty reliable i'd say. Doug Demuro got his R32 there

solar river

Well I can definitely afford one to be my daily driver that I'd love to have. Not all imports are from japan, I see some in other countries even canada. It would be nice to have a classic jdm car
