cars

[tame jungle]

my parents' car is faster

alfa romeo stelvio quadrifoglio

[civic girder]

😂

[devout atlas]

quadrofogliooliooliolioli

[tame jungle]

its less hp but its got a wayyyyyyyyyyyy less dry weight

[civic girder]

You mean to tell me an SUV is faster than a cheese wedge

[tame jungle]

it kinda is

[devout atlas]

it's really not

m8

[tame jungle]

check the numbers

[devout atlas]

I am checking the numbers

the potato can't beat the wedge

[devout atlas]

that's not speed

[devout atlas]

speed is a scalar quantity

[civic girder]

tbh, 0-60 means nothing

[tame jungle]

alright lets see top speeds

[devout atlas]

acceleration is a vector quantity

[tame jungle]

ok well yeah

top speed

[civic girder]

what really makes a car fast, is how quick it can do a lap on a track

[tame jungle]

ofc vector wins

[devout atlas]

acceleration depends on your gearing ratio, low end torque

etc

[tame jungle]

that i know

[devout atlas]

etc

[tame jungle]

eh rip the vector

its so close to the ground

lol

i mean its cool

but its a thicc and heavy boi

[civic girder]

also, the W8 weighs less than the Stelvio

by like 500 lbs

[devout atlas]

a lotus evora is faster around silverstone than both of them. There

[tame jungle]

oh wow

welp

[devout atlas]

by like 500 lbs
@civic girder of course it does, the stelvio is literally an SUV

[tame jungle]

why is the acceleration on the alfa better

[civic girder]

The first gen RX-7 is faster than a Porsche 944

[tame jungle]

well yeah

suv

car

you can try with the giulia

[flint sable]

Alpha Romeo has cool SUVs

[tame jungle]

i mean thats the car version

[civic girder]

the Alfa is awd and probably has shorter gears

[tame jungle]

its rwd

[devout atlas]

why is the acceleration on the alfa better
@tame jungle gearing, advancements in tire tech, etc

[tame jungle]

and long gears

lol

[civic girder]

🤔

[tame jungle]

its weird in the snow

not bad

not good

[civic girder]

if it really is rwd

it'd be ass in the snow

[flint sable]

LOL

Yeah

[devout atlas]

rwd suv?

[civic girder]

trust me, I know

[devout atlas]

how about no?

[tame jungle]

its not ass

lol

i live in an area

that snows constantly

and it handles just fine

[devout atlas]

you're trying to tell me that a rwd suv is not ass in the snow?

[tame jungle]

just gotta be in manual and boom

[devout atlas]

are you aware of 'Physics'?

[civic girder]

If my 2000lb rwd car with no power can barely drive in the snow, then a rwd suv with 3x the power would be even worse

[tame jungle]

if you drive it w/ automatic aw hell naw

[flint sable]

Yeah

[tame jungle]

also theres something called traction control which still exists

[devout atlas]

snow

rwd

[flint sable]

My dude

[devout atlas]

tc

kek

[tame jungle]

i mena

[flint sable]

Snow and RWD

[tame jungle]

yes ik rwd suvs

are usually meh

[civic girder]

traction control is not meant for that

[tame jungle]

but hey

[flint sable]

Heavy

[tame jungle]

ive been using it for 3 years

no issues

and it snows all the time

just gotta be in manual

[flint sable]

“Manual” with the paddles?

[civic girder]

traction control is a safety feature to prevent you from losing control and crashing. Not a traction aid to help you drive in adverse conditions

[tame jungle]

yeah technically the paddles

[devout atlas]

“Manual” with the paddles?
@flint sable not a clutch, not a manual

[flint sable]

That’s right

[devout atlas]

not a clutch, not a manual

[tame jungle]

still better than auto shifting

because of

well

it trying to overrev itself

and automatically shifting

[civic girder]

what

[devout atlas]

what?

[flint sable]

Like the Ferrari 360s listed as “manual” but they’re the F1 style that’s hella unreliable

LOL

[tame jungle]

alright welp

lets compare the car version then

thats awd

[devout atlas]

I've never seen an auto box in a family suv redlining itself

that's not really a thing

[indigo coral]

uh yeah they don't redline themselves

[tame jungle]

welp

[flint sable]

Bro wanna know what’s funky

A fiesta ST in snow, on summer tires

LMAO

[indigo coral]

even my old RX, which has minimal driving aids/electronics doesn't redline itself lmao

[flint sable]

Didn’t go well

[tame jungle]

why the summer tires

that hurts

[civic girder]

The Alfa Stelvio isn't even that cool. Its just another shitty, """"performance"""" suv from European brand

[flint sable]

Didn’t hit anything ;)

I mean yeah

You’re right

[tame jungle]

its kinda cool i mean hey

[flint sable]

Performance and SUV

[tame jungle]

compared to other suvs

its bloody beautiful

[flint sable]

Don’t really belong together

[tame jungle]

and bloody cheap as well

[flint sable]

Yeah it looks nice

[civic girder]

nah, I'd rather have a base model RAV4 than a Stelvio

[indigo coral]

i think the stelvio is nice but its still unreliable af like all alfas

[flint sable]

And you can get them used for a good price

[tame jungle]

yeah depreciation is crazy

[indigo coral]

i'd love to buy a guilia but they're a nightmare

[flint sable]

LOL

[tame jungle]

giulias are a nightmare? wym

[flint sable]

Yeah

[indigo coral]

reliability wise

[tame jungle]

btw my parents bought their car used

[civic girder]

Unsurprising

[tame jungle]

i mean hey i got a dealership less than a mile away

well yeah no shit sherlock

you would want to buy it 1 year old

so that you dont lose that crazy depreciation

[flint sable]

Speaking of performance SUVs

Why do people do this

[tame jungle]

alfas lose around 15-25k in the first year

of depreciation

[civic girder]

I wonder why 😛

[tame jungle]

no shit its an italian car

[devout atlas]

Body roll = good

[tame jungle]

its gonna depreciate

[devout atlas]

when executed properly

[indigo coral]

Lexus = best brand

[devout atlas]

like in a panther body

Lexus = best brand :PogLove:
@indigo coral perhaps

[tame jungle]

lexus is disgusting

ew

[flint sable]

This “thing”

[devout atlas]

lexus is disgusting
@tame jungle the LC500 wants to know your location

[civic girder]

https://tenor.com/view/kekw-kek-bttv-twitch-emote-gif-15123134

[tame jungle]

its mainly just plastic in their 50,000 dollar cars

[indigo coral]

no it's not LOL

[civic girder]

lmfaoo

[devout atlas]

This “thing”
@flint sable oh yeah, audi q8

[indigo coral]

they have stunning interiors

[flint sable]

LOL

[tame jungle]

and speaking of that touchpad

[devout atlas]

its mainly just plastic in their 50,000 dollar cars
@tame jungle wat?

[indigo coral]

the touchpad is bad, yes

[flint sable]

I don’t get the urge

[tame jungle]

that ruins the whole infotainment system

you overrun your options everytime

[flint sable]

For people to buy a Urus

[tame jungle]

and its not a touchscreen

[devout atlas]

For people to buy a Urus
@flint sable it's an audi

[civic girder]

It might be plastic, but its nice. They don't break, they just work.
Toyota knows what they're doing

[indigo coral]

i can agree that the touchpad is shit but otherwise the cars are absolutely top of the class

[devout atlas]

that's what it is

[tame jungle]

id rather buy a GLC or something better

[indigo coral]

they've been putting touch screens on the new cars bruh

the touchpad is going away

[devout atlas]

id rather buy a GLC or something better
@tame jungle >GLC

over a lc500?

you high?

crack

meth?

[stoic ledge]

> GLC

[tame jungle]

oh lc500

[indigo coral]

LC500 = best looking car available

by a long shot

[tame jungle]

thats a 100,000 dollar car

eh

[flint sable]

We almost got an X5 M LOL

[devout atlas]

thats a 100,000 dollar car
@tame jungle 80

[indigo coral]

but I'd buy an RX over a GLC every time

[stoic ledge]

170k

[tame jungle]

its kinda overdesigned in my opinion

[civic girder]

I'd buy a base model Prius over a GLC

wait

I already did that

[indigo coral]

lol

[devout atlas]

its kinda overdesigned in my opinion
@tame jungle and you like the stelvio?

[stoic ledge]

Lol

[tame jungle]

thats not overdesigned

lol

[devout atlas]

[indigo coral]

lexus/toyota is about the only company that designs cars with the used market in mind as well

[flint sable]

Grille.

[stoic ledge]

Stelvio is nice

[tame jungle]

did you just say grille

[indigo coral]

rather than "has to last teh warranty"

[tame jungle]

its a heritage

they have to put the grill on every car they produce

thats common sense

[flint sable]

I’m not taking about alpha

LOL

[tame jungle]

oh

[flint sable]

The Lexus

[devout atlas]

they have to put the grill on every car they produce
@tame jungle aight

[tame jungle]

yeah thats just

bad

lmfao

[devout atlas]

this

[tame jungle]

whats that big suv that lexus released

with that gigantic grill

[flint sable]

They didn’t overdo it like BMW did on the 7 series

LOL

[tame jungle]

this crazy ass thing

this one

is the worst grill of lexus by all time

[flint sable]

Oh that’s pretty large man

[devout atlas]

this looks decent on the suv

ngl

[tame jungle]

when you see it in person

its gigantic

[devout atlas]

I have

[indigo coral]

meh i don't love it on the LX/GX but it fits well on everything else

[flint sable]

Yeah

[indigo coral]

the LX/GX are old af

haven't been updated in a long time

the RX and smaller = looks nice

[tame jungle]

eh

[indigo coral]

and it looks great on all the sedans

[tame jungle]

people have opinions

i personally think lexus suvs are meh

sedans are kinda good

[indigo coral]

UX/NX/RX are good

[tame jungle]

that convertible is bloody beautiful

but thats it

ew the ux

[indigo coral]

ofc im biased as hell I drive an RX right now

[tame jungle]

thats disgusting wtf

[indigo coral]

wat

[tame jungle]

well no shit

of course

lol

that grill

[devout atlas]

thats disgusting wtf
@tame jungle we don't see you driving a car

[indigo coral]

thats not even bad

[tame jungle]

thats bigger than idk what

[indigo coral]

my RX is 22 years old

[tame jungle]

ok so i cant be entitled to opinions? @devout atlas

[devout atlas]

ok so i cant be entitled to opinions? @devout atlas
@tame jungle you can, but don't call someone's daily 'disgusting'

[tame jungle]

the nx is the worst car byfar that lexus has released

so overdesigned

[flint sable]

😔

[tame jungle]

and the back lights

ew

[flint sable]

Have to disagree on that one

[indigo coral]

you sound like one of those people who are like REEEEE crossvoers bad

[tame jungle]

but i mean i love that convertible

its beautiful

honestly

lexus did a good job on that convertible

except of course killing the back passengers of legroom

whyd they add 4 seats

[indigo coral]

that's what everyone does for some reason

[devout atlas]

whyd they add 4 seats
@tame jungle insurance

[tame jungle]

i know

but

literally

theres no room

like i cant even fit a pencil

[flint sable]

Laughs in fiesta rear seats

[devout atlas]

like i cant even fit a pencil
@tame jungle h y p e r b o l e

[civic girder]

Sorry, had to send an email for work. Where are we at now?

[flint sable]

Get stick bugged

[tame jungle]

the lexus lc having no back seat room

lol

they should've just made it either a 2 seater

[civic girder]

That's a sports car thing

[tame jungle]

or just put a bench back there

no like literally

0 legroom

[civic girder]

yea, that's how this works

[tame jungle]

like the back seat is touching the front seat

[indigo coral]

ngl I'm shocked that my RX is similar size to a new UX in terms of length and width, and is only marginally tower

[tame jungle]

the nx is horrible though

[indigo coral]

like wtf cars have gotten huge

[tame jungle]

i think thats the worst car lexus has come out with

[civic girder]

the Mustang and Camaro rear seats are just as shitty as the LC's

[indigo coral]

bruh you just talking shit bout everything

[devout atlas]

like wtf cars have gotten huge
@indigo coral winga dinga 1964 impala ss

[tame jungle]

you wanna bet @civic girder

lol

bet

[civic girder]

Its true tho

[devout atlas]

this is a car

[tame jungle]

this is the back room of a mustang

with actual space

you can still see some

its not touching the front

alright

next

[indigo coral]

with the seats scooted forward

lol

[tame jungle]

the seat on the right

im talking about that

[civic girder]

sports cars have 4 seats for insurance. They don't actually expect people to sit back there

[devout atlas]

sports cars have 4 seats for insurance. They don't actually expect people to sit back there
@civic girder exactly what I said above

it's all insurance

[flint sable]

Reer seet deleet

[tame jungle]

are there photos

of a rear seat of the lc

lol

[indigo coral]

what does it matter though

nobody buys a coupe to transport 4 people

[civic girder]

the only time you'll buy a sports car without a rear seat anymore is if you get something like a Miata or a Porsche

[indigo coral]

if you do you're a moron

[tame jungle]

one thing thats sad about the lc is that you gotta wait until that gage cluster breaks

[civic girder]

what

[indigo coral]

bruh they've been doing that forever

[tame jungle]

lc back legroom

literally touching

lmao

[indigo coral]

what does it matter tho? nobody is gonna sit back there

ever

[civic girder]

ah yes, when the front seat is all the way back

[flint sable]

Porsche Carrera 4 back seats LOL

[tame jungle]

its not

[stoic ledge]

One thing thats sad about the Alfa is that you gotta wait until the mechanic comes and fixes it every day

[indigo coral]

^^^^^

the Lexus will last for 20+ years, easily

[stoic ledge]

[indigo coral]

Mine is 22 yeras old and not exceptionally well kept, and its still going strong af

[tame jungle]

lmao

[flint sable]

Doug

[indigo coral]

besides having to do a front brake job, its been 100% reliable

[stoic ledge]

LC is just a 2 seater

[civic girder]

ah yes, Doug Demuro is a god and we should always trust him

[tame jungle]

i hate the gage cluster on the lc though

its gonna break one day

[indigo coral]

same with literally every single car

lmao

[tame jungle]

whos idea was it to make a gage cluster with moving parts

[civic girder]

My RX-7 is more reliable than a brand new Alfa Romeo

[tame jungle]

and a screen

[indigo coral]

uh

[tame jungle]

and a motor that will die out so easy because its carrying a metal circle

[indigo coral]

literally every cluster ever has moving parts

electric motors are surprisingly reliable actually

[tame jungle]

not with a motor that carries a metal circle thats gigantic and huge

eh

[civic girder]

whos idea was it to make a gage cluster with moving parts
OH MY GOD, I'M DYING
😂 that's the best thing I've seen all day

[indigo coral]

I have one in my phone too

[tame jungle]

same

[indigo coral]

my front camera pops up and down 🤣

[stoic ledge]

I like the gauge cluster in the LC

[tame jungle]

@civic girder out of context

[stoic ledge]

It's cool AF

[tame jungle]

until it breaks

of course

[stoic ledge]

Just some screens are cheap

[indigo coral]

idk what hes so worried about, worst case you just pop in there and fix it

it's not even hard

or expensive

[tame jungle]

its not expensive

on a 100,000 dollar car

oh good luck

also rip the depreciation

[indigo coral]

lexus != alfa

[stoic ledge]

If you're worried about something breaking, get a 94 Corolla

Or Celica

[tame jungle]

eh

[indigo coral]

lexus 1. holds their value better and 2. has much cheaper parts

[tame jungle]

opinions

[indigo coral]

lexus is also MUCH more reliable than alfa

[tame jungle]

alfa at least gives you price for performance and luxury

[civic girder]

bruh, my RX-7 is 40 years old and has mechanical gauges. Shit isn't broken yet and probably won't break on its own

[indigo coral]

^

[tame jungle]

people have opinions

you're entitled to one

[indigo coral]

Lexus gives you respectable performance and lots of luxury, at a price that won't break the bank & you can afford to maintain

lol

[tame jungle]

but in my opinion

at the price that lexus offers the rc

[stoic ledge]

Weren't we talking about the LC?

[tame jungle]

for 100k thats a bargain

yes

but for other rpicesd

[stoic ledge]

RC != LC

[indigo coral]

^

[tame jungle]

id rather buy a c class

than a rc

tbh

rc looks like a rc car lmao

[civic girder]

C class is not worth it at all

[tame jungle]

it kinda is

[civic girder]

?

[tame jungle]

when you buy 1 year used

which you should do

[civic girder]

😂

[tame jungle]

with every single car

over 50k

because the depreciation

of course

[civic girder]

if you don't buy new, then there are no cars to buy used

[tame jungle]

first year depreciation kills

[stoic ledge]

id rather buy a c class

[normal temple]

I use my coupe as an excuse to not transport other people

[devout atlas]

alfa at least gives you price for performance and luxury
@tame jungle You're telling me that the lc500 doesn't?

[tame jungle]

the lc does

[indigo coral]

some cars totally make sense to buy new

[tame jungle]

other cars

[devout atlas]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-wheeze-gif-14488819

[indigo coral]

eg: corolla/civic/etc

[normal temple]

also a BRZ with the seats all the way back has no room in the rear seats either

[tame jungle]

lexus offers

[civic girder]

the Alfa doesn't have that much performance tbh. Its an SUV. And the LC500 is literally all performance and all luxury at the same time

[tame jungle]

meh vehicles

except eh lc

[civic girder]

Lexus is fantastic

[normal temple]

Most cars with the seat all the way back leaves little room for the rear lol

[civic girder]

its literally Toyta

[indigo coral]

LS is beautiful and an excellent luxury sedan, GS is aged but a ton of fun, the ES is a baby luxury sedan, the IS is a fun sports sedan

[tame jungle]

👏

[stoic ledge]

Most cars with the seat all the way back leaves little room for the rear lol
@normal temple not an S-class

Especially the LWB

[normal temple]

coupes

[tame jungle]

5 seconds

wow

thats fast

really really fast

[indigo coral]

bruhg

thats plenty

[civic girder]

5 seconds is still 15 seconds faster than my car

[stoic ledge]

Imagine the speed of a C180 Coupe

[civic girder]

that's ridiculously fast really

[stoic ledge]

[devout atlas]

4.8 is inaccurate

fyi

[stoic ledge]

0-62 in 9.5s

[tame jungle]

ridiculously fast

[stoic ledge]

[tame jungle]

i wonder how light

it is

[fathom socket]

I saw an f355 spyder today

[tame jungle]

lmao

[devout atlas]

ridiculously fast
@tame jungle it's 4.4

[tame jungle]

i would like to see the weight

[fathom socket]

with the pop ups up

it was pretty cool

[indigo coral]

there's obviously faster cars but 4.4-5 seconds is PLENTY.

It's not a race car

its a GT car

[tame jungle]

@devout atlas probably with the optional engine that costs more than the car itself lmao

[indigo coral]

uh

what?

theres two versions

[civic girder]

5s 0-60 is still insanely fast, really

[indigo coral]

LC500 and LC500h

[stoic ledge]

[devout atlas]

@devout atlas probably with the optional engine that costs more than the car itself lmao
@tame jungle what?

[indigo coral]

My dad's SHO is around 5 seconds to 60 and I've literally never floored it

[devout atlas]

do you understand what you're saying?

[indigo coral]

because its plenty fast

[devout atlas]

costs as much as the car?

what?

[indigo coral]

yeah idk

[stoic ledge]

Yes

[tame jungle]

its sarcastic

but meaning

[indigo coral]

0-60 is largely irrelevant

[tame jungle]

an overpriced engine

[stoic ledge]

[indigo coral]

what is overpriced lmao?

the LC500 is the base model

[devout atlas]

an overpriced engine
@tame jungle overpriced? wot?

[indigo coral]

LC500h is not even that much more iirc

[stoic ledge]

the LC500 is the base model
@indigo coral here it isn't

[indigo coral]

oofo

well in the US its the base model

what's base there?

[stoic ledge]

500h

500 is the upgrade

[indigo coral]

oof

[stoic ledge]

Probably not before taxes, but it is after taxes

With like, a 50k difference

[indigo coral]

$97,510 for the LC500h
$92,950 for the LC500

here

[stoic ledge]

122k LC500h
158k LC500

[devout atlas]

if your stelvio is rwd

[stoic ledge]

"your"

[devout atlas]

then it's a base model

*your dad's

[stoic ledge]

^

[indigo coral]

280hp on the base model.. hmm

[devout atlas]

base model stelvio = no fast

[indigo coral]

fine for daily driving but i doubtt its below 4.4 seconds to 60

[devout atlas]

it's not a quadrifoglioliolio

[indigo coral]

our explorer is 365hp & it's like 5.7 seconds

which is fine

[stoic ledge]

Quattro Formaggi

Yes

[devout atlas]

no quadrifoglio is rwd

therefore, you have a base model stelvio

which is slow

[indigo coral]

well 280hp isn't necessarily slow

[civic girder]

no wonder it was so cheap 😂

[indigo coral]

but it's not gonna be fast af

[devout atlas]

well 280hp isn't necessarily slow
@indigo coral slow relative to the lc500

[indigo coral]

yeah

fair

[stoic ledge]

And the Lc500 is slow

[civic girder]

Yea. A Vector W8 is gonna crush that Stelvio in any real test

[stoic ledge]

As we all know

[indigo coral]

[stoic ledge]

0-60 in 4.4s

Pathetic

[indigo coral]

oh yes my tesla model s can do it in 2.4 seconds and that's all that matters /s/s/s/s

[civic girder]

Yea

0-60 is stupid

its never about that

[indigo coral]

Once you're below 7 seconds its plenty

[civic girder]

handling/cornering, and gearing is what really actually matters

7 seconds is plenty fast for the average person, borderline too fast

[indigo coral]

yeah

5.1 is what our Taurus is supposed to do, and its way more than necessary

and it's not even a performance car

it's a taurus with a turbo

lol

[civic girder]

The Prius is objectively slow, but its totally fine.

maybe 14s 0-60 iirc

[indigo coral]

my car is slow but not bc of power, but the gearing is shit

[civic girder]

right

[indigo coral]

and when its in the right gear, its plenty

[civic girder]

[devout atlas]

I don't own a car, yet

although I do take a 2007 corolla for a spin occasionally

[civic girder]

lmao, the prev owner of this RX-7 was smoothbrain (not mine, fortunately)

[indigo coral]

at least you formed your own opinions rather than just parroting youtubers @devout atlas

lol

[devout atlas]

lol

likes: car

dislike: early 2000s maserati

[indigo coral]

lol

[devout atlas]

any car is a good car

even a cvt hyundai runabout doing 110 kmph

shit

i didn't do those speeds

don't tell anyone

[indigo coral]

110kph isn't much tho

that's what, 65mph?

[devout atlas]

110kph isn't much tho
@indigo coral cheap hyundai auto car

from 2010

[civic girder]

I have a dislike for all european cars; with the exception of classic Lancias, the Countach, the 288, and classic Porsches (except the front engined ones)

[indigo coral]

my issue with old cars is that they expensive asfuck to maintain as they age

thats part of the reason I like lexus, you don't need to spend thousands of dollars on them as they age

[civic girder]

depends on the car

[devout atlas]

this thing

110 feels like a lot

[civic girder]

classic muscle cars are actually pretty cheap to maintain. They have enough cult following that parts are still being made by somebody somewhere

[indigo coral]

yeah

[civic spoke]

Can confirm. 110+ kmh feels insane in shitboxes.

[stoic ledge]

[devout atlas]

it does

especially when it's in 5th gear, and it feels like it's boutta blow up

[civic spoke]

Now - Imagine doing 160 kmh in one. That's 100 mph.

[devout atlas]

I don't think that it can do 160

it's rated speed is like, 150 kmph

iirc

[drowsy kernel]

good jetta
@devout atlas das ist Passat xD
it has only driven 170k km so hopefully no rebuild any time soon

[devout atlas]

oh, that's a good example

my bad, always mix those up

[indigo coral]

my RX can do 112mph and I would never

[stoic ledge]

I've done 105mph in zhe Corsa

[devout atlas]

I've done 105mph in zhe Corsa
@stoic ledge sod off

[stoic ledge]

Idk if it can, nor I want to faster

[devout atlas]

real men do 190 in their 800hp beetles

I have done 160 kmh in a Citroen Nemo.

[devout atlas]

great

literally everything is faster than a grand 10

*i10

not very grand, is it?

[civic girder]

100kmh is 60mph

[civic spoke]

It was 160 kmh, give or take a little.

Spec says that it can do 94-96 mph.

[civic girder]

errr, I misread that lol

I thought you said 160kmh and that was 60mph

[civic spoke]

I said 160 kmh/100 mph

[civic girder]

Yea, I just can't read

I have gone 100mph in the RX-7. It felt fine to me. But I also destroyed my spark plugs in the process, so never again

[civic spoke]

lul

[civic girder]

not to mention it goes against my law abiding ideals

[civic spoke]

My car has little issues going 100 mph

It's honestly comfortable going 100 mph.

[devout atlas]

the grand i10 has never gone 100 mph

[civic spoke]

E46 320i. Pog.

[devout atlas]

never

[civic girder]

It was weird. It went 100 fine, and then the next day it was having lots of issues revving to redline. And then it was struggling to even run, would have literally no power and was borderline overheating

Realized that not only did I foul my plugs, but the primary ignition coil wire is fucked and won't properly connect to the distributor; aka, I barely had any spark at all

[civic spoke]

That's like saying that eating poisonous mushroom is fine once.

[civic girder]

?

[stoic ledge]

100kmh is 60mph
@civic girder 100km/h is 62.1 mph

That's why 0-60mph and 0-100kmh often have like 0.1-0.2 in-between them

[civic spoke]

Yeh

[civic girder]

close enough lol. All I know is that all the signs in Canada say 100kmh = 60mph

[stoic ledge]

That's the easy conversion yes

But when comparing 0-60mph vs 0-100kmh, it's not accurate enough

[devout atlas]

@stoic ledge drive a grand i10

diesel

[stoic ledge]

Grand i10 was never sold here

I've driven a regular i10

Gas, 1.0

67hp

[devout atlas]

sounds about right

[devout atlas]

that's a grand i10

it's called an i10 there?

[stoic ledge]

That's just i10 here

[devout atlas]

yep, those gauges are way too sporty for this shit

[stoic ledge]

[devout atlas]

same, but rhd

[stoic ledge]

It bongs like a American car on start-up

I hate it

No bongs pls, I know I started the car

I physically turned the key

[devout atlas]

bong bing bong

[civic spoke]

I forgot what the speedo in my car goes up to.

250-280 kmh, maybe?

[devout atlas]

I love how this speedo shows 200

like, yeah, nice, optimism

it's not getting past 130

[civic spoke]

It's up to 250 kmh on my speedo.

[stoic ledge]

Mine goes up too 200km/h iirc

100km/h is straight up

And it has the same difference between the stripes all over the speedometer

[civic spoke]

I'm able to use 90% of my speedo. Car does like 225 kmh, I think.

[stoic ledge]

I hate it when cars have non-linear speedometers

[civic spoke]

I don't mind it. As long as it's clear how fast you are going.

[stoic ledge]

Liks the first half is 0-80, and the other half is 80-250. Pls don't do that

[devout atlas]

B e e m e r

[stoic ledge]

Not showing 0

[devout atlas]

Not showing 0 :Pogey:
@stoic ledge not high enough for bimmer drivers

[stoic ledge]

0-200 yes

[devout atlas]

the i10 takes a nice 13 ish seconds to hit 100

i think

I hope

never measured it

[stoic ledge]

Idk, no diesel i10 here

1.0 does 14.7s iirc

On paper

[devout atlas]

yeah

sad koreabox

[stoic ledge]

15.7s

[civic spoke]

I haven't measured this truck. But it shouldn't be any different to my old one, honestly.

[stoic ledge]

[civic spoke]

Guess the 0-70 kmh time.

[stoic ledge]

Trucks doing 100kmh

[devout atlas]

that i10 is the meaning of p a i n

[civic spoke]

Limited to 90 kmh. But you rarely ever go from standstill to 90 kmh.

[stoic ledge]

Tbh it was better than the first gen i20... We had that as a loaner car once as well

Limited to 90 kmh. But you rarely ever go from standstill to 90 kmh.
I drive on a road everyday where there are traffic lights like that

[civic spoke]

It's up to 70 kmh here.

With traffic lights.

0-70 kmh in 40 seconds when fully loaded.

[stoic ledge]

Belgium default 70, except some roads 90 with signage. That road is 90

[civic spoke]

FOUR-ZERO.

[devout atlas]

that's fast

[civic spoke]

Then again. I am weighing 28,000 kg when fully loaded.

[devout atlas]

Then again. I am weighing 28,000 kg when fully loaded.
@civic spoke dyel bro?

[civic spoke]

28,000 kg = 61,700 lbs

[devout atlas]

need some exercise, rei

[civic spoke]

Am weakling.

[fathom socket]

I paid for the whole speedometer

so i am going to use the whole speedometer

[stoic ledge]

Yes

[civic spoke]

smh. Just do what Delorean did.

Fit a 85 mph speedometer.

[fathom socket]

Or Volvo like with some of their TURBO MODELS

[civic girder]

Yea, some of the first gen RX-7s had low speed speedos

[fathom socket]

85mph is friggin autobahn speed in some countries

Yep

I wanna to bring my focus to max speed

See if it falls apart

[indigo coral]

i would never take my RX to max speed

[ionic berry]

I tried a panda at 110kph. I don't wanna do that anymore

[fathom socket]

110kmh with a panda?

Someone went 140 kmh with a Fiat 126p

Close to 140

My speedometer is not accurate

I've traveled like 8000 km with a really badly bent wheel

[ionic berry]

yeah, problem is that my panda always had rattling sounds everywhere and the "high" speed felt like it was going to come apart

[fathom socket]

I will never buy a small fiat

Unless it's a 126 or 500

The old ones

But yeah

They are great for city

But not for highway

I drive a lot on Autobahn

What I like about Fiata that they make small cars with a lot of space inside

[ionic berry]

i mean, it's not a problem. i just finished my first year of driving license, now i'm not stuck anymore to low end cars. i'm driving my parents' "old" renault megane now

[fathom socket]

My first car is a Ford Focus mk1. 5

I could get a Clio and a corsa c

But I didn't even fit in the corsa c

And the clio broke down during the test drive

I think it was the usual French issue

[ionic berry]

wow, that's not good advertisement

my megane is 11 years old now and never had a single issue

[fathom socket]

My focus had a loose oilcap

And it fell off

And burned clutch

But that's normal wear

I had to drive another 200 km with no clutch

It was slipping AF

[ionic berry]

older european fords aren't that great. my grandma has a 2002 fiesta mk5, the clutch is unusable and in 18 years they replaced it twice

[fathom socket]

It's a 2004 focus

Built in first quarter of 2004

And sold after Xmas

But it had OEM replacement clutch

And the replacement costed me around 240 euros

Labor and parts

[civic spoke]

I really ought to replace so many parts on my E46.

Part of me really wants a lightweight flywheel. Because quick response. But I would have to sacrifice driveability.

[fathom socket]

I would need a heavy duty flywheel

And also with the brand new clutch I have to put a lot of gas to even move

The clutch grabs so quickly

And I get wheels spin very often

And in the rain it's i posibble to start moving without wheel spin

@fathom socket sounds like a blown fuse with the clio

Wiring issue

meh pretty close

its always electrical

from my experience

Basically it's what I've heard from the mechanic

It could not switch fuel types

[dense shard]

Finally found ethanol free gas

[iron swan]

Look at this cool rx7

[civic girder]

Not even that cool

that much flame is gonna eat his spark plugs for breakfast

and that's not a fun time, I speak from experience

[carmine summit]

I know that video too well

Not gonna trick me

[civic girder]

and yes, it is the rick roll one that has been posted here before

[carmine summit]

It's gone around to so many servers I'm in so many times

[radiant parrot]

There’s this old ac cobra my friends neighbour owns

[median egret]

woah

i like those wheels

[civic spoke]

Too little rubber. Needs more sidewall.

[fathom socket]

Bring a CyberTruck into a major European city and have fun trying to park it.
@civic spoke
Well, I mean...
Greetings from Germany I suppose?

[radiant parrot]

@civic spoke too much rubber I like my cars scraping the ground

[silk gate]

and scraping wheels, i suppose

[fathom socket]

I wonder if there may be CyberTruck modifications to add the ability of driving with tracks.

[devout atlas]

No, remember, it's not your car, Tesla is merely giving it to you out of sheer pity

modifications = no fast charging

new paint-job = no fast charging

[fathom socket]

Fast charging costs money anyway and they can't just Void u using the charging infrastructure...
Well, technically they could, but legally not.

And its my car. Because unless it gets a StarLink array, it doesn't get Internet access because im living in a dead spot 🤣

And apart of that, Tesla doesn't Void anything because of modifications made. They even offer modifications like spoilers.

Wether or not to Void anything is matter on if it includes destructive actions.

Painting a car isn't a destructive action, as long as neither the paint chemically would react with one of the hull components nor covers any sensors, lights or similar.

[devout atlas]

Fast charging costs money anyway and they can't just Void u using the charging infrastructure...
Well, technically they could, but legally not.
@fathom socket they do just that

[fathom socket]

I'll have to investigate into that myself.
But without modifications to the electrical components, I highly doubt they would refuse a Tesla to use a supercharger

I mean, there is even a Model 3 sawn in half and modded to a pickup and that still is allowed to use superchargers.

[bitter compass]

theheh superchargers... my European ass has never seen one 👀

[fathom socket]

My German ass has seen many

[stoic ledge]

Feeding is German as well

[fathom socket]

Guess he doesn't use the Autobahn...
Or McDonalds next to them

[stoic ledge]

Never seen them at the side of the Autobahn

Nor at McDonald's

Although I never visit McDonald

I know one relatively nearby near an hotel

[fathom socket]

Just open Google maps and search for "Tesla Charger" and you get shown all super and Destination chargers

At a Hotel nearby me is a Destination Charger.

[stoic ledge]

Meh I know stations nearby with LPG

That's enough info for me

[fathom socket]

LPG?

[stoic ledge]

Autogas for zhe germanz

[devout atlas]

zhe germans need zhe gas for various purposes

If you refer tho the thing that's infecting everything, you'll get censored yes

[dense shard]

Other side, Nick

Fun fact

People with bumper stickers are more likely to participate in road rage

[bitter compass]

@fathom socket we barely have any in the south, the only ones maps shows are on the one highway i avoid 👀

and i barely go north 🤔

[fathom socket]

Russia also got Superchargers btw.
Just saying because of your PFP

[fathom socket]

saw an a110 yesterday

[vast harness]

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/599405864276645/ can I get some input as if this would be a good buy for my first car I’m 16

[fathom socket]

looks like it needs work

dunno if you want that in a first car

[vast harness]

I’m willing to do work I’m looking for a sub 1000 car on fb

[tame jungle]

Fun Fact: BMW Stands for Bayerische Motoren Werke

[stoic ledge]

You figured that out today?

[vast harness]

I don’t know what "acceleration issues" is it could be a million things so I would need more info on what is actually wrong

Ik what they mean but it could be a lot of things

[stoic ledge]

Just put a new Hemi in it, that'll fix it

[vast harness]

I’m looking to spend 1000 tops on a cheap car

[tame jungle]

location?

[vast harness]

Me?

[stoic ledge]

Hmmmm a new crate Hemi engine will probably just be out of reach

[vast harness]

I’m in Michigan

[tame jungle]

what part

Grand Rapids?

[vast harness]

I’m like 2 hours from gr 30 minutes south of kzoo

I’m just browsing fb looking around I can’t even legally drive for 2 more weeks when I finish my segment 1

[fathom socket]

https://newatlas.com/motorcycles/ktm-factory-motogp-bikes-sale-340k/

what you need is one of these

can mercedes or whatever please sell me an f1 car

[vast harness]

That’s too much for a motorcycle idc if it’s a race one

[civic spoke]

That's a lot of money for a motorized bicycle.

[flint sable]

Choose one of these three

[vast harness]

Yea

[civic spoke]

@fathom socket https://www.blocket.se/annons/skane/bmw_m1_sauber_f1/41562844

[fathom socket]

thx bro

you think he'll go as low as 20k?

[stoic ledge]

20k kr, yen, usd, gbp, eur?

Yes.

[civic spoke]

All of the currencies. All at once.

[fathom socket]

lets say gbp

ill give him it in all those currencies 20k each

[civic spoke]

I like how one of the features of the car is that it comes with a spoiler.

[fathom socket]

he aint wrong ill tell him that

even has a "sports chair"

[civic spoke]

And a multi-function steering wheel.

[fathom socket]

holy god damn now i really gotta get it

can also get a 2013 torro rosso

or a 2002 jordan f1

thats only 220k euro

[civic spoke]

I guess it depends if you want a V10 or a V8

Both are engines that scream.

[fathom socket]

yeah its a hard one

[tame jungle]

wtf 340,000 dollars for a motorcycle

id rather buy a lightning

[fathom socket]

certainly a 200k f1 car is a better buy than a motogp bike

lightining as in a jet?

can even buy a 13B

[flint sable]

L-39C for 240k

[fathom socket]

hawker hunter without an engine 30k

"EJ12 all in all is a superb and very driver friendly Formula one car"

never heard driver friendly and formula one car in the same sentence before

[stoic ledge]

Probably bought out buy another company

Oof

Why custom cars

[frank tundra]

bike people are a different breed

but paying 340k for a bike is smt else

[fathom socket]

Oh God

Wth is this

Even first gen fiat Panda looks better

[tame jungle]

My friend's looking to buy a used Aston Martin Virage and these panel gaps look crazy... do you think this has been in a wreck? I'll send the link in a second.

[fathom socket]

I have driven sharing cars

[tame jungle]

https://www.carfax.com/vehicle/SCFHDDAJ8BAF01953

[fathom socket]

But this is like bare bones

[tame jungle]

Rapide*

These panel gaps look crazy

[fathom socket]

Doesn't work

The link does not work

[tame jungle]

Oh

It should work

ill just send the images then @fathom socket

[fathom socket]

I would rather drive the Austin allegro

[fathom socket]

Looks like made in Russia

[tame jungle]

It's an Aston in NYC lol

The Panel Gaps look awkward

[fathom socket]

Ot maybe it had a jump

And the whole body is bent

Idk

[tame jungle]

That's what I'm thinking

It says it has no wrecks

[fathom socket]

They did a better job with my mom's wrecked Toyota Yaris

[tame jungle]

lmao

i mean this aston seems like a bargain

its going for 56k*

[fathom socket]

I'm not a fan of aston martin

[tame jungle]

I personally think they look beautiful

[fathom socket]

But if u like them

I like lotus

But you know

[tame jungle]

Exterior is nice

Interior is

meh

But I respect your opinion 🙂

[fathom socket]

Lots of trouble usually serious

[tame jungle]

The Elise is one of the lightest cars I've ever seen lol

[fathom socket]

I've seen lotus Elise here

Also

I really wanna to see Saleen twin turbo

[tame jungle]

I was also thinking of a used AMG GT 4-Door

https://www.carfax.com/vehicle/WDD7X6BB3KA003795

Hopefully this works

[fathom socket]

[fathom socket]

i think its just a white car

rapide is rather nice car

[stoic ledge]

it's a Bolloré Bluecar
@turbid onyx i think Paris uses those as well

And they don't get treated that well... So maybe they'll go to their as back-up cars

Or to expand the fleet

Oh

Yes, I was just looking at the Wiki page xD

Autolib (car sharing Paris) was discontinued mid 2018

Hmmm

Nice

I like those

[fathom socket]

saw one yesterday on the motorway

looks even better in person

[stoic ledge]

You saw one in the UK?

In blue?

Maybe it was Mrs. May

[warm sparrow]

I saw 2 alpine's in 2 days

2 blue ones on completely different places

I mean yea it's the country of Renault but it's not common

[fathom socket]

was blue but i think it was guy

hair was a bit short to be Mr may i think

[warm sparrow]

Oh x)

Was he doing 20 in a 50 zone?

[stoic ledge]

Physical HVAC buttons =

[tame jungle]

Physical HVAC is literally the best thing

I don't want to click 10 buttons to turn on my heated seats 😐

[indigo coral]

G70 is all physical hvac

[tame jungle]

Also are you sure thats the Jeep WL?
