Driving without PS can wear the rack quickly. My last Buick I drove without PS for a month. By the time I fixed it (blown hose) the rack was so worn I had 30 degrees of play in the wheel. A week later a truck driving in the wrong lane (incoming traffic) hit me and totalled the car.

#

The insurance company said it was my fault because I should have avoided the truck even though he was driving westbound in an eastbound lane.

#

Don't take my advice but anyone in Manitoba Canada who wants a new car just drive down the wrong lane until someone hits you.

i dont even remember what engine the new supra is using

dense shard Jul 31, 2021, 2:47 AM

#

The only reason the GT-86 and Supra exist is because Toyota split development costs.

#

Camaro is dying out, the Charger/Challenger haven't switched platforms since introduction, and the Civic lost it's unique engine.

#

Hell even Mazda shared some development cost with Fiat.

Camaro is being replaced by an EV.

#

Challenger is sticking around for a few more years. Each new platform future gets canned when Chrysler merges with someone.

#

Naturally people are very angry.

sup car guys, got a question

#

about car central locking

#

my grandpa has got 2nd hand aixam 2008 limited edittion crossline model

#

he dosen't got a licence to drive a normal car

#

it's a 5kw engine car

#

it dosen't have the standard connector for car locking, the previous owner has cut it of and put on a 2x6 pin connector

#

2 lines of 6 pins

#

so none original or no parts at all that i've found fit

#

but some wierd chinease locking system he had before worked

#

it used the 2x6 connector

#

i will provide pics 1 sec

dense shard Aug 1, 2021, 4:27 PM

If you can deal with autotranslate issues, a French forum might still be your best bet, unless these things are common enough to have a following in your area.

Depends what one you get. Always remember that for the vast vast majority of the time, an electric vehicle is more convenient, not less, because you never have to go to the gas station maintenance costs should be cheaper (and are in general after a year)

#

My Dad has an Electric car, and has only used a charging station once. Once you have 250 miles of range it becomes a matter of stopping longer than you normally would, not more often. In any non model X Tesla you can drive for like 9 or 10 hours on like 3 stops totalling less than an hour—how often are you road tripping where you need better range than that

#

A model Y performance has more EPA rated range than a BMW X3M, slightly hilariously

civic girder Aug 9, 2021, 11:35 PM

#

Ironically though, most EVs are hilariously inefficient for what they are. Single speed transmissions work fine, but you could probably improve range with varying ratios

#

Spinning the electric motor at the rpm required to sustain higher speeds will suck more power. But when you have a 2nd or 3rd gear for cruising, you're not spinning the motor as fast; thus consuming less electricity

#

And Teslas in general are just bad buys. Low quality for the price, exceptionally bad resale value, worthless service, overhyped like the 2jz, and have a basic design that gives you the feel the car should cost half as much as it does

#

A base model 2022 Toyota Corolla is more premium looking and feeling than any Tesla

#

Beyond that, EVs presently don't provide a significant benefit over a mild hybrid (such as a Toyota Prius or Honda Insight). Sure with the hybrids you still have to stop at a gas station, but they have more range than most EVs and are certainly more premium than a Tesla.

#

Until EVs cost the same, or only marginally more (similar to mild hybrids compared to gas only models), the cost isn't really worth it if you aren't a weirdo who hardly ever leaves home and doesn't go very far when you do

#

1 hour stops on an already 7 or 8+ hour road trip is horrible. Stopping for gas once or twice would only consume maybe 30 minutes total if you also went to the bathroom and grabbed snacks at the same time.

#

I have easily made 7 hour road trips on a single tank of gas in multiple hybrid cars
