That being said. A CLK55 AMG would be fun to have.
dense shard
Then again I'll likely end up with a Miata.
civic girder
Anything german that isn't an air cooled beetle or a diesel Jetta is a big no from me
Miatas are hella nice
As close to rotary as you can get while still being piston
that's my honest opinion of Miatt
the only thing I have against Miatas is that I have big feet and the pedals are close together, but it's not Mazda's fault that Japanese people are smaller than Americans
civic girder
lmao
my friend's Jetta is only still running cause of a hose clamp on his coolant hose
normal temple
Kek
My Jetta is running strong at 155k miles
Thing cruises at 100 at like 3500 rpm
civic girder
iirc his Jetta has over 200k, but idk for sure
civic girder
Yea, I'd like a 1.9tdi Jetta just as a beater. In manual ofc
civic girder
oof
I kinda feel sad that I bought two bottles of two stroke in anticipation of running out
but I haven't had enough time put miles on the car to run out of the bottle I already had

It reminds me of how little I get to drive in winter

Also the more I look at it. The more I like Toyota's red offered on the Corolla.

@normal temple we found our on a smash e55 amg at the scrap yard only 80k km on it and we took like a lot of part from it we took bumper the engine the front wheel all the suspension the seat the center console the steering wheel and the exhaust its was not a lot of part left after we took all we want all that cost 2k

@normal temple I wouldn't be surprised
There is literally a catalytic converter overheat warning light, lmfao

@civic girder you want a trick you dont need catalytic converter

Came with the car, and I'm gonna use it.
Also the more I see the MPG figures of the Corolla hybrid, the more I want one.

Here's a good Mercedes

Damn you Toyota. Y'all should have offered the hatchback in hybrid.

I'm removing the catalytic converter soon

there's no emissions testing in my county, I could literally toss the cat in the Prius and no one would know

He have a really clean e55 amg only 50k km on it and no rust on canada its rare
Only with a tune and with a bigger intercooler he made 623hp
@normal temple you tell you have a clk doe it feel like a go kart i was close to buy one but i was not sure ?

normal temple

He couldn't drop the clutch on an automatic car.

Also the car its cheap to fix so he broke everyting he need somiting that cost not a lot of money to fix if your dumb and it have no power stock it hard to kill same for tercel echo corolla civic ect.

Damn you Toyota. Y'all should have offered the hatchback in hybrid.
Move to Europe
magic arrow
dense shard
@stoic ledge I could...
I think Toyota really dropped the ball on not offering the 2.0L hybrid in the US.
We still get that oooollllddddddd 1.8
stoic ledge
They probably expect it to eat away market share of the Camry maybe?
river dove
It's not a 2.0l hybrid it's a 2.5l hybrid (insider) in the Camry of the EU market
Also there was a limited amount of the v6 model
stoic ledge
Yeah but in US the price difference between a Corolla 1.8 Hybrid and a 2.5 Hybrid Camry is 4k, with better equipment for the Camry. So a 2.0 Hybrid in the Corolla it roughly a 2-2.5k price jump, making the gap between a Corolla 2.0 Hybrid and a Camry 2.5 Hyrbid only 1.5-2k. Most would just get the Camry at that point I'd assume
river dove
The camry is also better because he has higher HP due to the larger engine, also I never knew how they could stick in a 1,8 with turbo into the corolla, it was just slooow af
so the camry version is already a good choice to buy with an 2,5l because due to all the stuff built within and all the heavy equipment its better built up for also long distances as within germany to get the hell out onto the left lane and floor it nicely
stoic ledge
Wait what? I don't really get what you're saying 😛

Here in Colorado it's illegal to leave your car running unattended, unless you have a remote-start feature.
Reason is cause they get easily stolen.
I kinda like the cold. I wear shorts down to like 40.f, as long as it's not windy. So I just get in the car and start driving 😛
Or if there's snow, I let the car heat up as much as possible while I clean the snow off, then just start driving without waiting any longer.
bitter compass
drifting mantle
I may have a slight vendetta
If the guard shack doesn't get their car towed / get the owner to remove it, I'mma start doing stuff like putting notes on the car, letting air out of the tires n' stuff.
Hmm... maybe I shouldn't tell the guard shack, so that they wouldn't think of me when the owner finally comes to pick up their car, and their tires are all flat.
jagged coyote
put chalk on the tire, if it doesn't move you'll still be able to see it
then the "luck" would seem too good to be true
drifting mantle
I mean, when it snowed that last time, their car had snow on the windshield for the next couple of days that I came in. Along with other cars, though those cars weren't in "prime" spots like this one xD
I'll get my yellow duct-tape I have in my dad's car from when I used to drive that (to put on someone's car when they take up two spaces, which so far has happened only once,) and I'll use that.
Then if it's still there on Friday, I'll put more 😛

reminds me of ppl puting huge stickers on the windshield in front of the driver when they do stuff like that
drifting mantle
I remember when I was thinking of printing out pages that say "I identify as a motorcycle" and sticking them on the windshield of people who park in the motorcycle-only parking.
In pic:
Bottom: Lined spots are charity parking (you sign up for a monthly thing) Non-lined spots are motorcycle-only
Top: Regular parking, and handicap parking
When there's snow, alright sure go ahead and park there.
But when it's been clear for days, and there's no forecast for more, gtfo x'D
The guard shack finally put up traffic cones so that only motorcycles can fit through, but only like on Wednesday last week did they do that.
Oooo
In Colorado, a vehicle is considered abandoned, on private property, if it's been there for more than 24 hours.

I like how they added 4 x Tesla logo center caps , 20 x Lug nut covers and 4 x tire pressure sensors to their Track Package 
stoic ledge
It also adds
4 x 20-inch X 9-inch Zero-G Performance wheels
4 x 245/35ZR20 XL Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires
1 x front and rear high-performance brake pads
1 x track-focused brake fluid```No xD
But basically wheels + brakepads for 5..5k
jagged coyote
ngl wheels look good
stoic ledge
But so do the non-Track Package wheels
imho
(The regular performance wheels, the aero wheels are ugly af)
jagged coyote
mfw the lug nut covers should be included with the wheels and not listed seperatly
stoic ledge
Same with center caps xD
stoic ledge
True but they kinda look aftermarket xD
jagged coyote
i think 5.5k is a pretty good price when you think that for the sport alloys it cost 1120€
for 5.5k you basicaly get rims, wheels and pads with a thicker brake fluid i'm gonna guess
jagged coyote
on their website
one michelin is 250€
so 1k for all 4
idk for the brake pads, but 100 ish for a pair of race pads, so 400 ish for all 4
stoic ledge
It's only on the Performance Model 3 btw ^^ They have 20" as standard
Don't forget the standard rims have tires on them as well
jagged coyote
wait so if you get the track pack you get 4 pairs of rim & tire?
stoic ledge
No no it replaces the stock wheels
But you have to subtract the cost of those to make a fair calculation xD

The track pack is way overpriced imo

Track pack comes with wheels, tires, and brake pads...
For the same price, the Mustang Performance Package offers wheels, tires, bracing, interior aesthetic trim, suspension tuning, and other electronics tuning.

Xiaomi is good in the budget segment, a bit higher up the ladder I'd recommend the Viofo A129 (Pro) (Duo)

Viofo has a capacitor instead of a battery like the Xiaomi, longer life expectancy and it's better against high heat

I'm debating if I want yellow fogs
normal temple
Kinda doesn't work like that
civic girder
I saw your discussion about how expensive legit ones are
civic girder
oh

civic girder
that might be cheaper

Yellow pierces fog better, so I'll be increasing my fog visibility anyways
I just don't know how I feel about the aesthetics

I kinda want to retrofit fogs to the Prius
but idk if my car has the wiring for it or not since its only a base model

They're so nice when you have them ngl but it sucks looking at them

I looked into projector retrofit
but the only one I could find was a sketchy one on Newegg
trying to find it
nvm now it seems to have disappeared
dense shard
yeah don't do that
indigo coral
wasn't planning on it
normal temple
Sketchy Ebay courtesy of the PO
indigo coral
would be nice to not r*pe everyone's eyes at night though
normal temple
Projectors don't do that
indigo coral
and get that nice clean break between light and dark
normal temple
If they're good
indigo coral
no but LEDs in halogen reflectors do
normal temple
yes
normal temple
no toyota
indigo coral
and my car
dense shard
I don't recall the Prius having glare issues like new Hondas do.
Apparently Honda took a step back with their new LED design due to excessive glare according to the IIHS.
which is pretty amusing
dense shard
They can't ding you over OEM features.
indigo coral
aftermarket headlights arent OEM
dense shard
Don't you have OEMs currently?
dense shard
oh I'm not talking about bulbs.
normal temple
When the X5 was new, we were getting flashed by oncoming traffic because the OEM HIDs were so bright 😂
indigo coral
when people flash at me I flash right back
normal temple
This is 2006 btw
indigo coral
also my tint, despite being OEM, has been a source of tickets for many RX owners
lmao
its weird blue reflective tint, and the thingy they use to check how dark it is freaks out
so uh
big ticket
not sure if you can get a ticket for a leaky ass exhaust but I've got that too

My uncle's RX's transmission went kablamo btw

He spent 1500 because he has a friend tho

Yeah restoration isn't that hard to do these days.

What was the trans doing pre-failure @normal temple ?
I'm curious.
like what were the symptoms
dense shard
Transmission falling out as well.
indigo coral
(afaik) mine's not slipping
normal temple
Nissan CVT level slipping
Floor it and the revs shoot up while losing speed slipping
dense shard
If you have to run down the road to pick up gears that fell out, you might be experiencing failure.
dense shard
heh
indigo coral
despite the huge repair bill he got a damn good deal on that murci
dense shard
Slipping, rough shifts, certain gears flat out not working.
normal temple
You'll know when your trans finally dies
indigo coral
so what mine does
tame mesa
Mine have sealing issues though.
There's moisture inside them.
dense shard
ah, there are a few things you can do about that.
normal temple
oof
indigo coral
a. weird noises but thats cause I'm a paranoid son of a bitch, b. It kinda seems to hitch when accelerating hard from a stop, until you're at speed and it smooths out. c. Car will randomly start shaking and jerking about, especially when I am braking to a stop. Happened a couple times now. Once it started shuddering while rolling down hill. and finally it sometimes doesn't seem to want to go into 2nd gear, though that might just be the dumb ecu
Every time it's done the shaking/jerking/shuddering putting power to the wheels clears it up
normal temple
Braking and shaking is prob warped rotors
indigo coral
no
normal temple
Unless you replaced your brakes
indigo coral
different then that
normal temple
oh okay
indigo coral
it keeps jerking and shaking once I've stopped
but the RPMs are fine
at least visibly
normal temple
Scammed
tame mesa
I have been looking at some Spec-D aftermarkets that look real spicy
indigo coral
Has happened twice, each one was exactly 6 months apart, to the day.
Both times it cleared up
despite sounding for all the world like rod knock
so yeah, conclusion. my car is possessed.
at least it doesn't smoke anymore since we fixed the valve cover gasket

New 500E officially announced
42kWh, 320km WLTP (200miles)
stoic ledge
Model 3 SR+ is WLTP 254 miles, not much more
200 miles is enough for the type of vehicle
eager kite
3 SR+ EPA is 250 miles
But other EVs on wltp show way better range than what they actually get
stoic ledge
WLTP is 254 miles
eager kite
Taycan WLTP was 279, while EPA was 201...
stoic ledge
we're now comparing WLTP
Who says the 500E can't get similar EPA results
Real world most SR+ also get just 276km on average (source Spritmonitor) (171 miles)

i wish i could get the real warp charger for the car but its hella expensive
so I got an aftermarket Dash charger instead
jagged coyote
well mine i got with ppl using my refferal link, just had to pay a little more and shipping
stoic ledge
I need a dual port charger since I've got a dashcam
So the OP unit won't work for me :/
jagged coyote
meh, if i get a dashcam i would hardwire it into the car, either with switched 12v or the permanent

Maybe in my next car xD But for now it's good

@median egret what are those

i would totally wear those
stoic ledge
Use no shoes for the best feeling
night current
But my feet will get sweaty and become slidy on the pedals
(Not actually but using a hypothetical excuse)
boreal rose
all my cars have FWD sadly, so thats a little problem, but with those shoes i am sure i could inertia drift even those around corners
stoic ledge
Put it in reverse, then its RWD 😏
jagged coyote
disapointed you didn't edited in the actual music 
boreal rose
OH
thats a really good idea
i have a video with my honda, but a friend of mine edited it, for the meme potential
stoic ledge
Corsa 👀
boreal rose
indeed
just a cheap one with about everything broken, but at the moment it is still street legal, i only need to register it
i bought it just to have fun in the fields
stoic ledge
Been there, but with a non-road legal (scrap title) Golf 3 TDI
Bought it with some friends
Best €30 (each) ever spent
Until the engine did boom
boreal rose
the corsa will be getting a new paintjob soon, i am using it as training so when i restore my honda, i wont make any rookie mistakes there
but yeah, best money ever spent
indigo coral
I wish I could do that
boreal rose
thats depends, why cant you?
indigo coral
dad won't let me
boreal rose
i know that problem, my dad tried to scrap some of my cars a few times, you could still rent a garage somewhere and park the car there, and drive it around without your dad knowing (assuming you are at legal age to drive)
indigo coral
I live at home, he pays my gas an insurance 😂
It's not a big deal
My current car does well, if a bit boring
