cars

[stoic ledge]

It'll do fine

[stiff burrow]

yes

[charred depot]

when I first drove the saab I was up to 85mph accidentally

[stiff burrow]

Shame VW isn’t bringing the ID.3 to the us

That’s the perfect size for a city car

[stoic ledge]

ID.3 is built very shitty

[stiff burrow]

I like the headlight design especially

[stiff burrow]

That’s a shame

[stoic ledge]

Yeah it's great, and this isn't even the top end LED (although it is LED)

[stoic ledge]

Controls of everything is also very shitty, turning of safety systems is like a 5 stel process

That's not safe

The complete car is a design failure

All to save money on designing buttons

[charred depot]

patiently waiting on lada ev

[stoic ledge]

Inb4 rebadged Dacia Spring

Actually: I quite like the new Dacia cars

[charred depot]

Id be the proud owner of a lada but I was stopped in my tracks by the almighty insurance companies

[stoic ledge]

😢

[stiff burrow]

I need an EV hatchback like the Chevy bolt or similar for every day driving and then an ICE sports car for fun 😂

[stoic ledge]

Get one

Bolt with new batteries is 👌

[stiff burrow]

New car prices are crazy rn and there’s a stop sale on the bolt

I couldn’t get one if I wanted to 😂

[stoic ledge]

Oof

They discontinued the Ampera-e here after Opel left GM, so can't get it either

But GM didn't want to sell them here anyway

Demand was high, but GM was like "you'll only get 1000/year"

[stiff burrow]

I’ve driven a friends bolt EV though and it was surprising how quick that thing is for a little hatchback

It’s almost like an EV hot hatch

Rip

[stoic ledge]

It's no slouch

[stiff burrow]

Yea

[stoic ledge]

Can't afford any new car tho so /care

Next I want a wagon

There's no wagon EV

So I guess it'll run on dead Dino's

[charred depot]

what is the point of a vauxhall insignia that isnt an estate

[stoic ledge]

Excluding the MG 5 EV, which is just meh

[stoic ledge]

Exactly

I want an Insignia Estate

Or a Volvo

[charred depot]

have like the same engine as a astra with a extra long snoot hanging out of every parking bay

[stiff burrow]

I want a CTS-V wagon

Those are so cool

[stoic ledge]

Well that's the same with Passat vs Golf for example

I don't with the current 10USD/gallon fuel prices

[charred depot]

The insignia just never sits right with me

[stoic ledge]

Insignia A or B?

I want the B

[charred depot]

either I guess

fuel jumped up like 4p here today

[stoic ledge]

A is fine facelift model in the right trim

I haven't checked today but it probably went up

[charred depot]

Id be more environmentally friendly but it costs too much

[stoic ledge]

I want an Insignia B Sports Tourer 1.6 Turbo, preferably with OPC-Line but definitely with Intellilux

Or, if I can swing it: facelift model, 2.0 Turbo

[charred depot]

Id love to be insured on a eco car but it costs too much to be worth it to me heh

[stoic ledge]

Wdym

[charred depot]

Im only insured on my saab

The price that it would cost to have me insured on a modern car isnt worth it

[stoic ledge]

Ah

[charred depot]

I own a car I cant even drive heh

Only my parents can

I just sorta gave my mazda 2 to my mum when her civic got bonked rather than dealing with marketplace twats

[stoic ledge]

[charred depot]

I dont miss it though low profile tyres on little cars suck

Her old provider wanted a extra like £1000/y to add me on which was meme level

[stoic ledge]

Oof

[charred depot]

Its conspiracy level shite but I wouldnt be suprised if insurance companies manipulated markets

why wouldnt they

I just need to become boomer age already

[elfin terrace]

I'm at $415/mo on car insurance. (4 vehicles)

[fathom socket]

afaik there's no legal shizzle that prevents insurance companies from asking for whatever they like

there prolly is, i just dont know about it

[elfin terrace]

Also, they use magic formulas that nobody is allowed to see.. Not even insurance agents. Calculates your risk based off tons of hidden factors

[fathom socket]

I call it math.rand()

[fathom socket]

i wonder, someone around who's from Russia? Preferably in the oblast or closeBy to Moscow?

I have a friend who wants to visit a vehicle manufacturer east from moscow but the question how to get from moscow to them is still open..

He wants to test a vehicle before choosing to buy and export it into Germany, because there is only little information on it and it seems very difficult if not impossible to get hands on it outside of Russia in the first place.

[vocal mural]

Let me guess the make: Lada?

Old FIAT models

[fathom socket]

Actually .....

[brittle niche]

They see me Mowing, they hatin'

[wind fossil]

My old car

[brittle niche]

I saw one of these with a real license plate on the back. I'll find the pic later and post it.

[burnt orchid]

why tho

ideal car

i either want muscle car, lifted truck, lowrider or a 1999 chevy suburban as first car

3/4 of those are gonna be basically impossible

[haughty ridge]

German>American

[stiff burrow]

i want an el camino ss

they're so cool

or a chevelle ss with the 454 big block

[haughty ridge]

I don't get American cars, they're way too big and get 200HP from a big V8.

Like how? You can get that from 4 cylinders

[stiff burrow]

😍

[stiff burrow]

maybe 50 years ago but most v8 american cars make at least 400hp

the exception i can think of off the top of my head being the chevy 5.3 with 350hp

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvSRrzy41jc

want

[haughty ridge]

My dream car

[stiff burrow]

nice

[haughty ridge]

But it's soooooo expensive

A v8 mustang is something like 50K USD in America right?

[stiff burrow]

no

[haughty ridge]

How much is it then?

[stiff burrow]

36k i think

[haughty ridge]

What!?

[stiff burrow]

the cheapest v8 camaro is 35k

[haughty ridge]

Dude, the base model with a V8 is 100k euro here

[stiff burrow]

455hp for $35k, plus a manual transmission

america baby 😎

[haughty ridge]

So 116K usd converted

That Merc is probably 200-250K

[stiff burrow]

which one is it

what model

[haughty ridge]

S63 AMG

[stiff burrow]

starts at $151k here

[haughty ridge]

36K get's you a nice family car here, but nothing sporty

Well maybe a peugeot 208 GTI

But that's french.....

[stiff burrow]

you can get a truck with a v8 for $33k

[haughty ridge]

Trucks are sooooo huge tho

And use way too much gas.

Gas is 2,27 USD per liter here, so expensive AF.

[stiff burrow]

i would buy a truck to use for a business or towing stuff

my family has an escalade (truck based SUV) and that doesn't feel monstrous to drive

plus gas is way cheaper here

[haughty ridge]

For towing i'd get it. But if you have to carry tools a van is way more convenient IMO.

[stiff burrow]

cheapest gas in my area is $2.69/gal

but that's in the really ghetto part of detroit

so YMMV

average price is like $3.20

[haughty ridge]

That's so cheap

[civic spoke]

Above €1.9/L for diesel.

[haughty ridge]

Most of the cost here comes from taxes and duty's tho

[stiff burrow]

i think the price balances out though, because a lot of people drive gas guzzler cars. the only people who benefit are the prius drivers

[civic spoke]

If I had to, then I would probably drive one.

[charred depot]

Apparently the prius was the most crashed car in the UK despite me barely seeing any.

[haughty ridge]

Lol true. Haven't seen a prius in a while

Does anyone still buy them?

[charred depot]

Popular in london I think

[dense shard]

People still buy em

I imagine sales will go up once gas goes up again

[haughty ridge]

I hope not, those things are worse for the environment than regular cars

[stiff burrow]

last year the price hit $1.94/gal i need that again 😩

[haughty ridge]

If that was the gas price for me I would never use my bike

[stiff burrow]

partially why nobody bikes outside of big cities in america

its cheaper to drive and everything is so far apart, why would you bike

it would take like 10 minutes to bike to the store, plus how would i get my stuff home

[charred depot]

I get a lift from someone else to go to work

[haughty ridge]

The Netherlands, it's easier to go to some places on the bike than with a car

[stiff burrow]

i do bike to the nearby downtown area though because i enjoy biking. but i drive to the store and basically anywhere else

yeah amsterdam has really cool bike infrastructure

[haughty ridge]

Plus you can't park your car in most city centers and if it's possible, it's like 8 USD per hour

[charred depot]

saab sucks for that

[haughty ridge]

And I've seen people move couches with a bike lol, so you can move most stuff

[charred depot]

all little aygos that leave spots too small

[stiff burrow]

my city has the first 2 hours of parking for free in the parking structures

[charred depot]

theres tonnes of free parking on the street just tonnes of people are in the spots

[stiff burrow]

thats nice

[charred depot]

I used to do deliveries with alot of illegal parking

itd be impossible to be 100% legal

[stoic ledge]

Don't think we'd miss the Prius going away (sales numbers per year)

[stiff burrow]

i feel like i see a lot of priuses

[burnt orchid]

false

[burnt orchid]

they actually arent that big :not_stonks:

[haughty ridge]

Dude, a normal sized car is a volkswagen golf

[burnt orchid]

the vortec l31 in the 1999 suburban (5.7l) only makes like 255

[stoic ledge]

By coincidence I saw one today, a fairly recent one

[haughty ridge]

Those things are battleships

[stoic ledge]

It cut me off

[burnt orchid]

same

1970 el camino ss 454

[stiff burrow]

Fax

[stiff burrow]

That’s a small car

[haughty ridge]

For european standards not

[stiff burrow]

Normal sized car is like a Ford Edge or Chevy equinox, or a Honda Accord maybe

[stoic ledge]

Kek Golf is probably larger than the average car herez that's like Fiesta/Polo/... Sized

Used to be Golf sized yes

[haughty ridge]

It’s bigger than my Merc a-class

[charred depot]

my saab is a long car here

[stoic ledge]

When my brother had the E91 3er, it didn't fit in the parking spots at work

[charred depot]

mine doesent fit in the parking spots here. just pokin my snoot out

[stiff burrow]

By contrast my small car fits into parking spots with lots of room on each side

[charred depot]

theres rarely room on each side even with small cars here

my mazda 2 and its a million door dings

my technique is to stick my hand on the outside of my door and crush it. other people seem to go the route of yeeting their doors open

the size of some of the dents are ridiculous

[stoic ledge]

At work I always park my car extremely close to a coworker with the passenger side so I have an okay room to get in and out

[charred depot]

most of my dings come from shop parking lots

[stoic ledge]

I don't go to shops often so luckily I don't have many dings

[burnt orchid]

no its a fuqin micro car

why are "big" american cars so small smh

like wtf these are probably only about the size of a normal 4 door family car

need to be longer

add another like 2 feet to the hood and trunk

[dense shard]

FWD proportions in a RWD car

Only in America

[burnt orchid]

[haughty ridge]

What? That hood is as long as a small car!

[wispy siren]

those cars are incredibly long

[burnt orchid]

but entire car overall is not very big looking

[haughty ridge]

A coach would be more drive-able than that.

[burnt orchid]

should be more long

[burnt orchid]

but it would be cool af

lowrider but like chevy suburban length or longer

[haughty ridge]

It's huge looking. A cruiseship is nothing compared to that

[burnt orchid]

how long is it actually hold on

ha funi

... its the wrong year

close enough

ah 1977

[haughty ridge]

A merc c-class is 15 feet, which is a regular sized car in Europe

[burnt orchid]

bruh its basically suburban length

i thought it was shorter

[burnt orchid]

get like 18 foot car

[haughty ridge]

5,6 Meters😳 You could never park that car in the Netherlands

It would need a truck spot

[burnt orchid]

😎

shorter than the 99 smh

[haughty ridge]

Probably also weighs as much as a cruiseship

[burnt orchid]

:stonks:

[burnt orchid]

looks kool

[wispy siren]

but so does a big floppa

[burnt orchid]

but that isnt a lowrider

[wispy siren]

could be

ez

[burnt orchid]

e🅱️ic

[charred depot]

just a different form of butchering

[flint sable]

Red and black seats, carbon JCW logo, Aux gauges and floor mats

[burnt orchid]

hno dum

donks are that

so are stanced dingus shidboxes

and basically any other mod people like to do to japanese cars

jdm car people are almost all stu🅱️id it seems

[charred depot]

intentionally fucking up the suspension of a old car isnt

[wispy siren]

^

[burnt orchid]

ok but hydraulics

[wispy siren]

no

[burnt orchid]

what if car was from a junkyard and old suspension was shit

[wispy siren]

improve

[burnt orchid]

fix body slap lowrider suspension on it

ez

[wispy siren]

rebuild

[burnt orchid]

rebuild but lowrider

yes

i mean they dont look that bad stock

[flint sable]

And idk if it’s Monte Carlo edt exclusive but also the carbon dash

[wispy siren]

cool

thank you for stick

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/788812453877907516.png?size=64

[burnt orchid]

put gauge in the middle so you have to look off to the side to see thing

genius

[flint sable]

Digital speedometer is below the tach

[burnt orchid]

where hydraulic suspension switches

[charred depot]

imagine being able to round bends at a reasonable pace

[burnt orchid]

b you could go around those corners on 3 wheels with a lowrider

[flint sable]

🤝

[burnt orchid]

unless it was a tight corner then i dont think most lowriders could make it

too long

aka kool

:sunglas:

[charred depot]

im talking about windy roads

[burnt orchid]

any road with wind

the road outside my house

look at that 🤌

[flint sable]

The lights are cool

[burnt orchid]

yes

[charred depot]

id take it

and part it out

[flint sable]

We used to have a New Yorker that had some significance that I forgot about

[burnt orchid]

sdum

anti lowrider dingus

[charred depot]

i know its dum for a car to serve little purpose other than hehe bouncy bouncy :^)

[burnt orchid]

it looks hot af 🔥

it hella low

but can go over speed bumps even

raise the suspension

also big long american car

ebic

[charred depot]

better in nearly every way

[burnt orchid]

nouh it looks dum

boring dingus economy car

from like russia idk

ist a lada

[charred depot]

lol.

[burnt orchid]

itis

[charred depot]

american stumped by french car

[burnt orchid]

boringmobile

its uncool

[charred depot]

at least its properly mobile

[burnt orchid]

lowriders got those chrome rims 🤌 boring'nt

[burnt orchid]

how is a lowrider less mobile

can go offroad would not reccomend tho

[charred depot]

I can drive this at a reasonable pace on winding roads.

comfortable and all

[burnt orchid]

ok you can do that in a lowrider also

more comfortable because big american luxury car

[charred depot]

yeah and fly off into a tree

[burnt orchid]

no

[charred depot]

less comfortable because the suspensions been butchered.

[burnt orchid]

no

maybe

but probably not

[charred depot]

likely

[burnt orchid]

anywyas probably e🅱️ic seats so whoc are

much comfort

[charred depot]

have you seen videos of lowrider cars on roads with minor imperfections

[burnt orchid]

no

have you seen japanese shid modded cars trying to cross speed bumps

thats a shid car

[charred depot]

I dont like them just as much

[burnt orchid]

ok maybe you dont like lowriders (smh) but how about lifted trucks

^sorta dum but still

[charred depot]

yeah thats pointless

[burnt orchid]

its cool

[charred depot]

hopefully youll be cursed one day with what they know as growing up

[burnt orchid]

sounds pretty terrible

maybe next year idk

[flint sable]

Lifted trucks can be done well

[burnt orchid]

this "growing up" seems to be more of a "turning into boring old person who doesnt like cool things" smh

[flint sable]

This was done pretty well

[burnt orchid]

the lifted-est truck

[flint sable]

Has some good ground clearance

Monster truckz

[charred depot]

much better when assembled with fence bolts so they hit a pothole and fall apart totalling the truck.

[burnt orchid]

pretty nice but those wjheels look pretty skinny

[burnt orchid]

nou dum that is squatted trucks

[charred depot]

lifted too

[burnt orchid]

made by bunch of idiots in alabama

[burnt orchid]

no

just the squatted one

s

[charred depot]

I can assure idiots very commonly install lift kits

[burnt orchid]

ok but 100% of squatted truck owners are idiots and only like 0.1% of proper lifted truck owners are

anyways look at this e🅱️ic (probably lifted) suburban

[charred depot]

If we are talking about OEM lifts

[burnt orchid]

no like cool trucks

[charred depot]

that looks like it serves no purpose other than to be higher.

[burnt orchid]

offroading 🅱️east
first one is a bit long for an offroader*

[flint sable]

a useful slight lift over the basic F-150

[charred depot]

good

[burnt orchid]

its stock raptor smh

[flint sable]

yes, so already has fox shocks, and a more powerful engine from factory

[charred depot]

sometimes modifications arent always a good thing

[burnt orchid]

lifted'nt but still cool

has a v10 :sunglas:

[civic spoke]

If had to jump into any car for a weekend cruise across the country/countries. What would the ideal vehicle be?

[burnt orchid]

stanced cars, other import car mods, donks, squatted trucks, japanese cars in general
very bad

[burnt orchid]

if who had to
if it was ur mom they would need a really big car

[charred depot]

id say more % of import car mods are done better than truck lift kits.

[flint sable]

the raptor that ran Baja was unmodified except for the roll cage and safety features

[burnt orchid]

even if that waas true they are still about 10000000x less cool than lifted trucs

[charred depot]

atleast they still drive well enough

[civic spoke]

You and a friend or two.

[flint sable]

unlimited budget? Probably an M5 or similar

[charred depot]

volvo 240 estate

[civic spoke]

For me. It might just be a Toyota Century.

[flint sable]

Oh they’re really cool

[civic spoke]

Toyota V12.

[flint sable]

The new one?

[civic spoke]

V8 in the new ones. I think?

[flint sable]

yeah pretty sure

V12 one is cooler

[burnt orchid]

lowrider for sure i (because i have no friends) would be the coolest person in town 😎

[burnt orchid]

not long enough

[charred depot]

Peugeot 505 I was in was very comfortable if you ignore the water dripping on my head and ankles

passenger experience 7 / 10

[burnt orchid]

sdum the hood isnt even 6 feet long i bet

[civic spoke]

You can put your legs through the back rest of the passenger.

[burnt orchid]

that sounds likw not a good thing

[burnt orchid]

anyways it looks pretty boring

[burnt orchid]

stock muscle cars are the best muscle car

exept maybe bigger engine because pog

But when you constantly compare everything else to them

[burnt orchid]

When you get older. Then you'll start to appreciate reliability and quietness while traveling.

[charred depot]

what makes you so sure heh

[burnt orchid]

because e

idk

see pic

lot of travel

good for climing rocks and stuff

uneven terrain

[civic spoke]

INB4 no limited slip, or locking diffs.

[burnt orchid]

weld the diff

ez

idk anything about that one other than is lifted becaues its a random pic

[civic spoke]

Welding the diff is a great way to destroy an axle.

[burnt orchid]

too much engine power

[civic spoke]

Has nothing to do with engine power. When you take turns. Then the outer wheel travels further compared to the inner one.

A welded diff, or diff lock. Is making both wheels spin at the same rate. Regardless if they want to or not.

[charred depot]

makes returning to any grippy surface a practical death sentence

[civic spoke]

I have a locking diff in the truck. I only use it on slippery/loose surfaces.

[burnt orchid]

h
makes sense

ok welded diff suc
get better diffs

ez

[civic spoke]

Get in, sucker. We're going on a road trip.

[burnt orchid]

wack motorhome

[burnt orchid]

but does it have a v10

[civic spoke]

V8.

[burnt orchid]

smh not a v10

i ride bike past 2 🅱️ig winnebago motorhomes every day

both have ford v10 badge

v10 kool engine because its basically a lambo

rv = lambo confirmed

[civic spoke]

That engine has nothing on the V8 in the Scania.

[burnt orchid]

2 cylinders*

also the scania is just a semi truck with dingus rv slapped on the back

[civic girder]

just because you have more cylinders doesn't mean your engine is better

[charred depot]

praying my windscreen will pass MOT

[civic spoke]

The 770S V8 in the Scania has more than twice the horsepower. And more than five times the torque.

[burnt orchid]

more cool factor :sunglas:

[wispy siren]

true

[burnt orchid]

prius man is 11 yes

[burnt orchid]

[civic girder]

I literally don't see a problem but ok

gonna make fun of a man for saving money on the way to work so he has gas money for the project cars

[burnt orchid]

[civic girder]

can't make fun of Prius then

[stoic ledge]

Do you still have the Prius?

I thought you bought a Civic

Or do you have them both

[civic girder]

I had them both for a while, but the Prius finally got sold

It's also technically not a Civic

[stoic ledge]

Ah ok

Nee pfp when

[civic girder]

when I stop being lazy and actually have good pics

[stoic ledge]

Ah was it an Insight?

[civic girder]

yes

[stoic ledge]

Sorry my bad

[civic girder]

same chassis

[charred depot]

mk1 insight is dreamy

[civic girder]

yeah I didn't want a shitbox tho

[stoic ledge]

Insight isn't sold here anymore so forgot about it

[civic girder]

I didn't even know it was a thing until I needed alternatives to the Toyota hybrids

[stoic ledge]

Oof

[civic girder]

"wait.... they still make the insight?"

[stoic ledge]

If I wanted I hybrid I would've just gotten a 2.0 Hybrid Corolla Touring Sports

[civic girder]

yeah I wish

[burnt orchid]

honda insight is that weird dingus isnt it

[civic girder]

that weird op daily you mean?

[charred depot]

I get a lift to work to save money

Bi-Fuel so it has 2 separate fuel systems/fuel tanks/..

[stiff burrow]

cool

[wispy siren]

cool

[stoic ledge]

Standard is gas/petrol ofc, but I mostly run it on LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas)

[wispy siren]

sweet

[stoic ledge]

Propane and butane mix basically

Advantage: LPG is way cheaper than regular petrol 😂

[wispy siren]

yes

mileage differences?

[wispy siren]

butane is a bastard gas

[stoic ledge]

LPG gets ~10% less far on 1 liter conpared to petrol

[wispy siren]

but the price difference is worth the loss yes?

[stoic ledge]

Yeah, I refuel in Belgium and there LPG is usually a third or even a quarter of the price of petrol

[wispy siren]

nice

[stoic ledge]

Atm with the hig fuel prices, it's roughly half

But still cheaper, 90% of the economy for ~45% of the costs

[wispy siren]

sweet

[stoic ledge]

So basically I can get twice as far for the same money

[wispy siren]

definitely

can you smell it tho?

[stoic ledge]

Uhm on hot days, standing right behind the exhaust, you can get a slight smell of cow manure

😂

[wispy siren]

nice

[stoic ledge]

First time it was with a friend, he was getting something out of the boot and was like "Oi MK your car smell like manure here"

I was like "U wot"

But yeah, makes sense

[burnt orchid]

terrible car

get suburban

[stoic ledge]

Do you pay the 10USD/gallon gas? + 200usd/month road tax? K thnx

[burnt orchid]

ok

[stoic ledge]

Dorito go brrrr

[civic girder]

even at $3/gallon USD I'd rather have a 1.5L that gets 55mpg

[burnt orchid]

ls swap :trollface:

[civic girder]

[burnt orchid]

[cerulean star]

I'm being sarcastic it's a hatch. A poor man's Golf

But better than most Golfs IMO

[civic girder]

mmmmmmm I can smell the exhaust leak from here

[stoic ledge]

You're better of getting an Octavia or Leon than a Golf

Basically every Seat or Skoda sibling is better than the VW model

Although the existence of Cupra doesn't make sense tho

[burnt orchid]

[stoic ledge]

(the brand, the label is fine)

[burnt orchid]

https://tenor.com/view/gigachad-chad-gif-20773266 average caprice classic enjoyer

[cerulean star]

The Golf's are better built but the Leon is more fun and looks better IMO.
The new Cupra brand is supposed to sit above VW but the quality still isn't as good.

[civic girder]

would rather have a minivan

[stoic ledge]

Golf Mk8 is quite crappy built tho

[burnt orchid]

so much less cool than the caprice classic tho

[cerulean star]

They've deinitely gone down hill but driving SEATs is like driving maracas.

[civic girder]

nah, way mor cool

caprice isn't mid engined

[wispy siren]

lol

[burnt orchid]

minivans arent either

[civic girder]
