Apparently, other than the virus, two oil companies are in a price war, seeing who can go lower
civic girder
I think Russia and Saudi Arabia (or one of the other middle eastern oil power houses) got into an argument about how to compensate for the lower demand for oil caused by the pandemic
they couldn't agree so Saudi Arabia (or whatever other country it is) just ramped up production to drop prices instead

Yeah they dropped big time here as well 
Lowest price in 11 years.. and I can't go anywhere

The Phaeton is a great car.
stoic ledge
It was developed to amazingly high standards
And tbh, most things which went wrong with his Phaeton was mostly regular maintenance... But the parts were just expensive af

Parts for the suspension and brakes were Phaeton exclusive

civic spoke
Yupp.
stoic ledge
You can get a nice looking example of thoss for a couple grand... But the next service you spend nore than that
So they can't afford it, but just sell it, it doesn't get fixed, the car is neglected, and it only goes downhill from there
It's not unusual to find a 7er of A8 with 20+ previous owners xD
Ok so I found a BMW 7er with many owners, the ownership looks like this:
- 1st owner: 1 year
- 2nd owner: 3 years
- 3rd owner: 1 year
- 4rd owner: 4 days, traded it in at a shop
- 5th owner: 2 months, traded it in at a shop
- 6th owner: 4 days
- 7th owner: 1 month 4 days, traded it in at a shop
- 8th owner: 1 (!) day
- 9th owner: 4.5 months, traded it in at a shop
- 10th owner: 6 years
- 11th owner: 3 years
- 12th owner: 8 months
- 13th owner: 19 days
- 14th owner: 2 months, up for sale now
(including shops, there has been 32 owners)
You can kinda see the faith of this car... After ± 5 years, a lot broke so it just kept trading hands, a shop then must have bought it extremely cheap and fixed it, so the next owner actually quite a long time. After that, it only went down hill again, and now it's for sale with a CEL on

@civic spoke Im a big BMW fan but the i3 is actually bad
dense shard
Is it?
shrewd shell
Low range, ugly design, bad performance, and overpriced
dense shard
It's a city car.
shrewd shell
The design could be good for some people but thats just my opinion
dense shard
That's designed to be efficient.
And all BMWs are overpriced.
I'd say the i3 was a future that BMW missed out on.
shrewd shell
My friends family had an i3, broke down very often for some reason
shrewd shell
Yeah they don't last, but the i3 broke down without even owning for more than 1 year and only 13k miles
shrewd shell
Not sure, I remember the 1 hour drive we went on to the amusement park, his family took the i3 and it broke down on the way back home lol
They've had more issues afterwards too
They ended up returning the lease early
dense shard
oof
Still I stand by it.
It's essentially the only modern BMW I'd want to own. That or the i8.
shrewd shell
There are way better options, its not like the interior or quality is something to brag about
imo
One of my relatives had the BMW i8, it was returned a couple of months ago because the lease ended
He is leasing the BMW M8 Competition now lol
The i8 started giving problems towards the end of the lease
dense shard
classic
I imagine the M8 will as well.
Modern turbo performance cars apparently are horrible with heat management.
shrewd shell
I drove the i8 a couple of times and once the engine didn't want to turn while I was going up a hill so the car started rolling backwards because the electric motors weren't powerful enough or something
Yeah probably
dense shard
BMW, Mercedes, Audi being the biggest offenders.
shrewd shell
That's why my family leases cars
dense shard
My family buys Japanese.
shrewd shell
And that also makes sense, that's why Japanese cars last
My friend bought a Lexus 350 F Sport, he wants to do some basic mods and stuff too it
I'd imagine that car would last, its a naturally aspirated six cylinder

NA is critically underrated.

Its because they aren't as powerful has a turbo or supercharged car

Mercedes has 4 Cylinder engine that makes 370 HP... Lol... Its fast but I don't think that the car would last very long
dense shard
Yeah. Modern ones break.
dense shard
And modern turbo charged cars trade durability in for power and emissions.
That's unrelated to German cars... tho I do include them.

They mostly use Turbo's thats why

Tbh considering getting a used i8 coming out of collage although that is far in the future, they’re already deprecating a lot, they get like 134 miles to the gallon, they have four seats meaning insurance is slightly less expensive, and it’s the best looking new bmw imo because the grill isn’t massive

saying "$7,000 Tesla AP" seems to imply FSD because AP is free with all Teslas, and FSD costs $7K
and he does explain in the video that it's currently free, but if someone was just skimming over the video they might miss that
And he paid $5k for AP when he got his car, so idk why he's using the $7k figure
He paid $7k in total, but that's bc he bought the FSD package ($2k) on top of the AP package
that's how it's misleading

stoic ledge
Exactly
bitter compass
thats the issue
like if i sue him, it could fail and end up paying more than its worth
and my navigation shows ev chargers because... reasons
amd downloads android updates on my phones mobile data...
stoic ledge
Maybe VW uses the same software for the e-up and regular up?
To save costs
It's just a Navigon (iirc) system
bitter compass
technically yes but i think they don't sell the navigation with the eup
stoic ledge
Garmin, same
bitter compass
the transferred it to an app and give a phone holder i think
stoic ledge
The e-up always had the sat nav iirc
The first e-up
Now it's a phone cradle, yes
Old e-up did have it
Also displayed some vehicle info
bitter compass
eww white looks kinda meh
the glossy black isn't helping with sun sometimes but looks better
but i like how nobody in my family is bothered to change my mirrors because manual mirrors :^)

nice
this is completely unrelated but
there once was a veyron owner
and he wasn't the smartest
and revved his engine cold
we all got a bit concerned there
flint sable
yea

revved cold rotary = time to hold a funeral for the apex seals

Just the first image I found @bitter compass xD
Anyway, a friend of mine has an e-up black in and out, same nac screen xD

this isn't the owner its one of the dudes who organized the show and took care of the keys starting it
the smart way
the owner was chill and let me start it too
bitter compass
ye that thing is ridiculous, like it detects if you drive into a tunnel, and goes darker and when you get out it it goes bright again, but it doesn't do it with night in other words i get spooked every time i drive out of a tunnel in the night
bitter compass
or sometimes it just stays on when the car is turned off
stoic ledge
Btw he has done nearly 200k km in the up!, with a tint battery 👀
bitter compass
and next morning tells you the battery of the navigation is low
i think the euo has like 200km of actual range
stoic ledge
This is the old e-up
bitter compass
oh that has 100
stoic ledge
bitter compass
if i remember right
stoic ledge
Yeah basically
bitter compass
i think the first golf was 200 the up was 100
stoic ledge
He drives it quite efficiently, even over the NEDC rating multiple times 😮
NEDC 160km
WLTP 133km
flint sable
@civic girder no the person that DID own it revved it cold
civic girder
@flint sable BRUH
civic girder
yea
bitter compass
if they get the 550km in the eup they announced on the biggest id3 they'd match the ups range
flint sable
(crash it for a music video) im looking at you taylor swift
civic girder
and to be fair, its a piston motor
stoic ledge
Like this
flint sable
OH
bitter compass
the gasoline up actually only has like 500-550km range 🤔
stoic ledge
if they get the 550km in the eup they announced on the biggest id3 they'd match the ups range
Not gonna happen, 90% of the car would be battery by then
flint sable
i like how he called it a lambo
bitter compass
who needs backseats nobody fits in them anyways
stoic ledge
32kWh in the new e-Up is already quite impressive tbh
Back seat delete is only a viable option when you replace it with a V6
civic girder
just don't have back seats
stoic ledge
bitter compass
if it gets to 300km for sure I'd consider one, since i could make a trip from home to my parents which i do quite often without charging
(no power in garage at my parents) :(
stoic ledge
Oof
normal temple
IS THAT A CLIO V6
stoic ledge
Well tbh at 140-150 cruising speed the battery level goes down quite quickly, so it's not for me

GIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

mileage limit blows
stoic ledge
True
Depending on the condition, they go between 30k and 65k
Euro's that is
So up to 72k

Cheapest non-modified is €33k, with 60k miles on it
Highest mileage for sale: 65k miles

Imagine if something brakes on a Renault in the US

Too bad this car was developed before the Nissan-Renault Alliance
It's engine was actually developed together with Peugeot and Citroen
normal temple
oh dear god

It's the successor of the PRV V6 engine (like Delorean), predecessor of the Nissan/Renault VQ engine
As far as I know, never offered in the US

VQ bad

VQ bad yes

I'm fairly certain that this meme is an RX-7 discord original
and VQ is a good motor mechanically and technologically
but they sound like complete ass
I'd rather have my limp dick 1NZ-FXE than any VQ

the other day I was discussing the condition of the Prius motor
I thought that it might have been burning oil
I discovered that that was not the case
but there was one guy who was like, "wait, I think you had a typo there. There's no way Toyota thinks 1.1 quarts in 600 miles is 'normal'"
so I sent him a picture of my owners manual
civic girder
you mean VVTi
idk
wouldn't surprise me if the Prius doesn't even have VVTi
but yea. I calculated the oil to have dropped about 1/4 the way down the dipstick
the dipstick measures 1.6qts
I've come about 2-3k miles since the oil change
either way, that's pretty good
Welcome to Toyota
normal temple
I want VTEC in my Kia
civic girder
time to head to the scrapyard and pull a Honda motor then

my poorly designed 21 year old engine doesn't even burn anywhere near that much wtf
1.1 quart per 600 miles? that's nutty

Hope it takes market share from tesla, their anticonsumer practices are getting out of hand
no, not that
the policy of disabling rebuilt cars. I have no issue with disabilng supercharging, it is their network after all, but now they disable ALL fast charging, tesla network or not. They also have stated they'll press charges if you start poking around in software or repair things yourself. Additionally, the people who paid up to 12k USD to get their car recertified and have supercharging reenabled (program is dead now btw) don't get to keep it either, they wasted their money and its disabled again
pertty f*cked
Fair, but on the other hand, microsoft isn't going to come sue me because I mess around with windows and build my own extensions
provided I'm not distributing IP
Shouldn't be any different for cars. Like I said, I have no problem with them turning off access to superchargers
It's their network, their rules
but blanket disabling all fast charging ought to be flat out illegal
That's overstepping their bounds
Idfk.
yeah
Yes, but its still scummy
and doesn't represent well on the company

Too bad hot hatches are dead
make a corolla sport plus or something, Focus RS lineage
I'd totally get a focus rs if they made them in automatics
stoic ledge
Hot hatch shouldn't be automatics
civic girder
So after checking the RX-7's owners manual and cross referencing it with the Prius owners manual, the Prius is rated at a peak normal oil consumption rate nearly rivaling the RX-7
max normal oil consumption:
Prius - 1 US quart per 600 miles
RX-7 - 1 US quart per 500 miles
stoic ledge
Automatics are faster.
Hot hatches are about having fun, and engaged driving
civic girder
Toyota secretly uses rotaries
stoic ledge
70MPG or whatever of gas in the Prius since it uses an oil mixture xD
stoic ledge
Yes

is that the right color or meh
I like the fact that every online drivers are following me with this car and my name happens to be called Fordgt40 lol

Also
Once met a guy at a car show
He has every color of 2005 ford GT
And a 2017 one
flint sable
Yes
But orange
He got a turntable
Among 300+ other cars
And the bat mobile
I tried to get him to airdrop it to me but it didn’t work
He was so chill
So was the owner of the P1 at the show
And the veyron
fathom socket
those two :D
flint sable
Check out the plate on the P1

if I had that kind of money, I'd be buying a Cosmo 110S
flint sable
civic girder
it always feels unnatural to me how a lot of expensive cars start up without any sound of the engine cranking
fathom socket
damn
I would drive that P1 like it wants to be on track pushing It's full power and not being slow and sits there lol idk
cars might have feelings
fathom socket
yeah :/
civic girder
like they just want to sit there
fathom socket
If I own one I would put miles on it and save money to buy parts for it
It's meant to be driven

I'd never think about getting anything faster than a Miata
I like being able to slam my foot on the floor and not have to worry about seeing flashing lights in my mirrors

@fathom socket if it makes you feel any better he drives it often
Same thing with the dude that has the senna

Should I get a C5 Corvette or a C6 or a C7? Which one is the most worth it?
wet pine
I'd like to get a C7 because it's really nice, a C6 is really nice too, I considered C5 cause of it's price only.
civic girder
I've ridden in a C6 Z06 before. Sure its fast, and sure the interior is nice, but I still felt kinda underwhelmed for some reason
It seemed too nice
like, "I should park this in my garage and it will never see rain or snow, and I'll put at most 200 miles on it a year" nice
wet pine
Yeah, but I don't want to garage queen my cars
