Pro-tip: don't go to Amsterdam

[stiff burrow]

Why not? I heard it was a cool city

[stoic needle]

only for the weeed

thats why people are cool with it 🤣

or the rode wallleetjesss

[vocal mural]

Zutphen is a cool city

[stoic ledge]

Tbh not sure, only been there twice but didn't like it But tourist are often like "oMg HoLlAnD (reeee Holland, imagine not using The Netherlands) iS sO <insert something about it>", thinking the entire country is exactly like Amsterdam. But it's definitely not

It's like saying the entire US is like Las Vegas or something

So idk maybe visit it, but definitely visit other stuff

[stiff burrow]

Definitely, I’d love to see that in person

[stoic needle]

definitly go for the cheeseeee

🧀

[stiff burrow]

I also want to go to England

[stoic ledge]

I want to go to Scotland

[stiff burrow]

European small towns are so much better than American small towns lol

[stoic ledge]

Our town is in the top 5 of "nicest villages" of 🇳🇱

[stiff burrow]

Cool

[stoic ledge]

Tbh only the old part of the town is nice, the newer part is like any other town in the region

[stoic needle]

i wanne go to germany

[stoic ledge]

[vocal mural]

You wanna go to Elten or Dinxperlo?

Elten have a nice “mountain”

[stoic needle]

no where the nurburgring

[stoic ledge]

We drove over it many years ago in the Peugeot 306 Break

[vocal mural]

I have visited the Ludendorff bridge couple of weeks ago

Also known as the bridge between Remagen and Linz

[stiff burrow]

My town is known for having one of the best “downtowns” in the area and it looks like this… bruh

[stoic ledge]

Tbh that doesn't look bad

I'd visit that

[vocal mural]

Giethoorn?

[vocal mural]

No left turn 🤔

[stoic ledge]

Didn't know Giethoorn was in Limburg

Also reverse image searching that photo will get you the town

🙃

[stiff burrow]

Yeah, they’ve updated it since then to be a lot more pedestrian friendly. It’s a nice place to hang out now

[vocal mural]

I thought you were a GLD citizen , and actually Giethoorn is in OV 🤦‍♂️ my bad

[stiff burrow]

You can turn left there now :p

[vocal mural]

When you are a coach

[stoic ledge]

That'd be quite far to go to Belgium every day xD

[vocal mural]

Why to Belgium

I am actually glad I can get to Emmerich in 20 min from Doesburg

[stiff burrow]

I would visit your town @stoic ledge, it looks like a nice and quiet spot to vacation

[vocal mural]

Do you like this bridge, @stiff burrow?

[stiff burrow]

Yes

[stoic needle]

my town

[bitter compass]

Thats like the boring part of Germany

Put the ring in the south than you'd have something pretty to look at to convince your partner for going there

[civic spoke]

I suck less now.

[bitter compass]

Well that's great?

Ehm

You're going to be the best one day

[civic spoke]

Nah. It's my goal to always suck less.

[vocal mural]

Belgium 🤮

[bitter compass]

Waffles

Idk more about Belgium

Except waffles and them having an unfortunate position

[civic spoke]

Anyways. I finished my CE license.

[stoic ledge]

a) Fuel
b) Many friends live there
c) I study there

😛

[stoic ledge]

There's a hotel in a castle

https://www.kasteelelsloo.nl/en/

[vocal mural]

You can go instead to Germany, and 4: Beer

[stoic ledge]

My Dutch speaking skills are more useful in Belgium than in Germany

Also not far away tho

[stoic needle]

We have waffles,best beers in world, chocolate,fries, the worst roads in europe😂

and our capital city is considered the capital of europe

we have aswell amazing festivals 😛

and we have a world famous circuit aswell

[stoic needle]

german beer doesn't compare to our beer

not even remotly close

[vocal mural]

Steenbrugge by Aldi is quite good actually, it is brewed by Palm in Steenhuffel

[stoic needle]

even our cheap beers are pretty good

thats what i'm saying 😛

[vocal mural]

The Achterhoek have better festivals

[stoic needle]

belgium has some of the best beers in the world

[stoic needle]

no

doesn't compare to us when we have festivals

people from allover come to spectate and to perform

[charred depot]

Theres a petition here for the government to cut fuel tax heh

Not that I wouldnt want that but good luck

[vocal mural]

The Netherlands will lower down extra tax from Fuel from 1st of April

[stoic needle]

they are trying it here aswell

[civic spoke]

Lower the fuel tax.
Keep the same price.
More profit to those who sell fuel.

[charred depot]

great success

[stoic ledge]

Lowering tax... You'll still have to pay for the discount

So thank you me for giving me a discount

[charred depot]

They might just do it to look good as they could be doing with some of that after all the shambles

[fathom socket]

I wonder how it looks on the front

[civic spoke]

I really wish it has the older front. Even though I'm sure it's the newer M3/4 buckteeth.

[eager grove]

£1.607 at the pump today

Sheesh

$8.24/US gallon

[stoic ledge]

Up to 11USD for pReMiUm

[pearl tiger]

i was in lux today and got 98roz for 1,80€ per liter.. instead of 2,32€ in germany

[remote ridge]

Bruh I'm just going to bike everywhere

[dense shard]

I don't mind the front end.

It looks alright, just need to remove the front plate.

[wheat hatch]

🐽

[deep zealot]

Im willing to forgive it frankly.

The S58 is a beast of an engine

Some tuners put it all the way to 1070 HP on stock rotating assembly, and with JUST a JB4 + E85 you can get 670 bhp easily

It's a modern day 2JZ

[left mirage]

Ladies and gentlemen; today is a sad day

My first car just blew up

Just got wheels on it and just bought an exhaust for it too

She was wonderful for all 7000 miles i put on her

[remote ridge]

Bro that's barely a whole oil change

That sucks, I'm so sorry

[civic girder]

that's two oil changes in my world lol

but yea, sorry for your loss

Hopefully you can find a good replacement!

[stoic ledge]

OOF what happened to it?

[charred depot]

Biggest evironmental waste

Ac systems in scottish cars

[bitter compass]

Biggest environmental waste around munich blinkers and mirrors

[stiff burrow]

This guy rolled up to a meet with no hood… lmao

[frigid anchor]

I was worried about my car , this makes me feel better

God , mine's not that bad

[frigid anchor]

Not even big enough not to have a hood

[wispy cloak]

What happened to it

[brittle niche]

Sucks that it blew up but those Fifteen52s look awesome.

[left mirage]

Somehow lost 1/4 of its oil in the 200 miles between the last time i checked it and when it blew up, unless i checked it wrong or something

Technically it still runs and there arent any lights

[left mirage]

Ikr they were rad

[brittle niche]

I love seeing customized New Beetles. Not many people give them a lot of love at all. All the hype is towards the old ones, don't get me wrong, I love the classic Beetle, but the new one is nearly forgotten.

I assume you've seen pics and vids about that guy who put a jet engine into a new beetle 😂 . Dude's a maniac.

[remote ridge]

I did that once, the meet started half an hour after finished putting my engine back together and making sure it ran, and i would rather shower than have a hood on

[wooden hearth]

some advice got a hold of some white TE's with some crazy offset what to paint my Z red and put them on

The TE’s not a great image but it gets the point across so my question is how red or perhaps another color???? Open to suggestions

its a Z32

[fair moon]

The car or the wheels?

That color combination on the blue car right now looks very good imo

[viscid atlas]

@wooden hearth id keep the blue

Red is so meh

Sports car in red is literally midlife crisis in a nutshell XD

Im not a fan of white wheels, i prefer them alloy or red, but blue definitely works better

[wooden hearth]

Yeah i see the point there lol

Thanks!!

[stiff burrow]

Another no hood guy

He has more of a reason to show off than a stock hellcat lmao

[timber oar]

Who needs hoods anyways

They just block engine airflow

[bitter compass]

Where the hood at

[fathom socket]

😳

[remote ridge]

Engine: knock knock
Me: who's there
Engine: piston
Me: piston who
Engine: piston 3 to the moon

[paper kernel]

my tiggo 7 reaches 50mpg on eco mode and cruise control

holy shit

[stoic ledge]

MPG US or MPG UK

[pearl tiger]

i reached 6,8L/100km with my shitbox

[fathom socket]

I'm surprised I didn't hit that pipe yet

[fathom socket]

I'm lucky if I get below 10l/100km

But now i live in mountains, so I guess my fuel economy is gonna get obliterated

[pearl tiger]

i have pedaltothemetal

xD

sometimes atleast

worst fuel eco was like 8,7L/per100

[fathom socket]

You have what?

[pearl tiger]

1.4i 16v 95hp fiat stilo

[fathom socket]

Oh

My cousin had one

But 1.6 bi fuel

I have a 2.0 16v peugeot 307

[pearl tiger]

i like my car.. its kinda sporty but fuel consume is not that much.. fiat has its issues but currently everything just works 😄

[fathom socket]

I need that extra power to transport a lot of stuff

[pearl tiger]

i overloaded my car 😄

slowaf

[fathom socket]

I remember my cousin had lot of electric all issues with his stilo

[pearl tiger]

mine is 2004 and before 2004 had many electric issues

[fathom socket]

I have yet to see how my peugeot 307 will hand that. It's known to have electrical issues on prę 2005 models

[fathom socket]

I think theirs was from 2002

But honestly fiat was good at making small cars that I could fit in

I mean like fiat Panda, Uno Or The old Tipo

[pearl tiger]

i mean im fat 😄 but in the stilo i have more space than in the '98 Ibiza 😄

[fathom socket]

I could not fit well in stilo tho

I'm too tall

[stoic ledge]

Our 307 never had any

2003 1.6 16v

[fathom socket]

The only thing I had was a busted radiator

[charred depot]

proper french cars

both with fucked radiators!

[stoic ledge]

Who needs radiators

[fathom socket]

My engine was cooled with water vapors

[charred depot]

ultra rare beetle radiator

[fathom socket]

And then me car barfed and the whole radiator cracked in half

[charred depot]

mines is alright but its covered in cocaine (the dye)

white powder everywhere

[stoic ledge]

[fathom socket]

Now I have radiator that has fit and finish of a lada

[stoic ledge]

So basically like how it came from the factory

runs

Jk 😛

[charred depot]

friend is putting a hdi into a 205 maybe

[fathom socket]

Honestly I don't bother with diesel

[charred depot]

turned up the boost to like max on his xud

was swift, for a bit

[fathom socket]

Diesel always scare me with how expensive they can be to fix and also emmisions regulations

[charred depot]

not an issue for me

[pearl tiger]

Dirty

[fathom socket]

Sadly Germany exists

[pearl tiger]

Hi

You are welcome

[fathom socket]

And London soon

And Poland I think it's starting with that too

[charred depot]

soon my peugeot will be tax and MOT exempt : )

[fathom socket]

Age?

[charred depot]

36 - 37 I think needs to be 40

[fathom socket]

I think in Poland it has to be 25 and have 80% og parts

I've seen astras with classic car plates

[charred depot]

classic plates arent a rolling date here

purely an aesthetic thing

and very annoying for ANPR

[fathom socket]

Also

I hate the fake chrome trimming inside the car

Also real chrome too, but only if it blinds me

[stoic ledge]

I see our old Peugeot has been sold, and has a new owner

You mean those air went adjuster thingies?

The dashboard was also hella reflective iirc

[viscid atlas]

oWo

[stoic ledge]

It actually looked quite decent for being almost 19 year old now

Damn 19 years already

We had it from just over 4 years old to almost 15 years old

[charred depot]

I hate the soft frontend

[fathom socket]

I find funny that even if my 307 is older than my focus it's still mire advanced

All trough 307 isnt fun to drive

[stoic ledge]

It's not "fun" as it's not the lightest, but it's actually reasonably dynamic

[deep zealot]

Here we go again

[fair moon]

Fuel injector? Just a thought

[wispy cloak]

Fuel pump also possible

[fair moon]

Or a broken air pipe

[deep zealot]

fuel pump sprocket was warn beyond belief

not surprising considering it was whining a shit ton before

[wispy cloak]

I didn't know mechanical fuel pumps were even a thing on cars with efi

[deep zealot]

That loud whining sound was the worn sprocket

[fair moon]

Pain

[wispy cloak]

Doesn't sound like a very expensive fix luckily

[deep zealot]

$105 from my local dealer, $50 with labor

[wispy cloak]

Don't go to a dealer

[deep zealot]

it's a BMW, sure as hell not working on this thing myself

[fair moon]

That's a good idea

[wispy cloak]

Bring it to a 3rd party shop

[fair moon]

$105 isn't the worst thing ever for one of those complicated ass mfs

[deep zealot]

Too late for that now tbh, I got it done just today

Whining is gone and runs great

[fair moon]

That's nice

Which bmw out of curiosity?

[wispy cloak]

I wish German cars weren't so unnecessarily complicated

[deep zealot]

F30 328i xDrive

But it's not hard fooling people into thinking it's an M3

[fair moon]

2800 Cubic Centimetres (probably more) of INLINE SIX

[deep zealot]

Unfortunately

It's the Turbo 4 2.0L

[fair moon]

Fast

[wispy cloak]

It's sooooo much fun doing this slave cylinder

[deep zealot]

They did away with the 2.8 i6 with the E90 gen

[fair moon]

I thought the 328 was a 2.8?

[deep zealot]

It was, until 2013

[charred depot]

you mean master 👀

[wispy cloak]

Yes master

I ordered the slave

[fair moon]

Thank you BMW :((

[wispy cloak]

Parts cannon method

[deep zealot]

The E90 will always live on as something legendary but something about having a turbo is nice

[wispy cloak]

After this audi I'm not owning another German car

[fair moon]

S86

[deep zealot]

I've had both an E90 and F30

S85?

[fair moon]

mb

[deep zealot]

Ah the S85 sounds amazing mang.

[fair moon]

brain failing me

[deep zealot]

I was going to buy one of those M5s but then realized how much of a pain in the ass it would be to maintain

[fair moon]

Those things were hella cool

You just had to rebuild it every 50,000mi

[deep zealot]

Yeah unfortunately I don't have that kinda money (yet)

[fair moon]

Because Overcomplicated to shit

[deep zealot]

I'm looking into buying a 335i and tuning it to 400 bhp

[fair moon]

Wonder when the last time they sold a 5 series in stick....?

[deep zealot]

Respectfully, that's because that's an Audi

[charred depot]

tell me it isnt one with the internal slave

if you went to all that effort lol

[deep zealot]

My uncle bought an A4 and the damn gas pedal stopped working 2 miles from the dealer. Brand new

[wispy cloak]

External but massive main in the ass to get to

[fair moon]

Almost got a '05 545i with a 6-speed, engine was just gonzo

[wispy cloak]

This car has been a lot of effort for a winter beater

[deep zealot]

545i???

holy

[fair moon]

2005

[deep zealot]

sounds like its a huge engine

[fair moon]

It's a 4.5l V8

Technically it's a 4480cc iirc but we don't talk about that

Or something like that

Imma google it again lmao

[wispy cloak]

I don't own any efficient vehicles that run and gas prices are making my wallet sad

[fair moon]

4398cc

The fuck bmw

[deep zealot]

Typical BMW fashion

They make some crazy stuff

Also some questionable design choices but meh

The new M3's engine is spectacular and it has no business being as good as it is

[wispy cloak]

I can't wait until I finish the audi

Because after it's done I get to do the mustang

Which doesn't have all the nonsense

[sharp pivot]

https://www.carscoops.com/2022/03/meet-the-teslarossa-made-by-swapping-out-a-ferrari-testarossas-v12-for-an-electric-powertrain/ All for technology till its ruining classics

Who takes out a V12

[viscid atlas]

no

sinful

i need to get one of those to properly modernize

not fucking swap it for electric

keep the classic guts with a nice modernized interior

[sharp pivot]

Exactly

Welp there goes its value

At least there is a spare engine for another Testa

[viscid atlas]

testarossa is no joke my dream car

to see that being done to one is sinful

ill probably get one if their price doesnt become ridicilous after 4 years

[fair moon]

broooooooo

why

[civic girder]

I'd argue that's more sinful

[cunning plinth]

Bahrain GP

[charred depot]

too low for fifes best parking spaces

[fathom socket]

what's that river?

[charred depot]

the parking space lock post going into the sump

cars too long / low

[burnt solstice]

Should be fine

[charred depot]

"can you balance it tho"

[plucky merlin]

Byebye power steering rack

[somber grail]

I see nothing wrong with this as it isn’t broken it just has more features than a normal tire

[rare olive]

F for power rack

[viscid atlas]

Not at all, to keep a classic actually worth driving on the road, and not becoming a garage princess, you have to modernize the interior.

Cars are made to be driven, not sit in a garage

Modernize the interior being REMOVABLE items that make the car actually do modern car things

[civic girder]

me driving old cars with completely stock and original interior

[viscid atlas]

Sure, no one that can AFFORD a 100K supercar, and is young will want to drive a classic with no connectivity

You can always just slot in aftermarket things without ever messing with your OEM parts

I drove my S13 for a year without infotainment. Its pain

I also drive my 911 daily with infotainment, and phone connectivity, it makes long distance driving way more enjoyable

[crisp cedar]

Hi guys I need some help

[crisp cedar]

Lol wrong

@civic girder I’d have to agree with you classics are the best especially keep them classic inside

[flint sable]

Idk I think Gunther works provides a good mix of classic and modern

[crisp cedar]

Ehh I’d rather my complete classic tbh

[flint sable]

Big fan of everything that’s going on here

[crisp cedar]

Not really my taste

[crisp cedar]

It looks like a carrot

[viscid atlas]

@flint sable thats nice other than the color

Id do it

[viscid atlas]

Not really. When i say young i mean young, 21 and below.

If i ever get a
Testa', and i eventually will, its being modernized inside

And the engine is also being modernized to be reliable.

[crisp cedar]

I’m 25 and would daily my 66 wagon without hesitation and it never stopped me from dailying it when I was 20 till 21

[viscid atlas]

Yea, youre 25, not 21

And when you were 21 it wasnt 2021

It was 2016

[crisp cedar]

I dailyed it when I was 20

[viscid atlas]

Again, it was 2016, not 2021

[crisp cedar]

And I’d still daily it now even if I was 21

[crisp cedar]

You mean 2018 dopey

[viscid atlas]

2017, 2021-5 is 2017 but still.

My point stands

Youre too old

[crisp cedar]

It’s not 2021 dumb ass

[viscid atlas]

Did you have your birthday already?

Its less than half 2022, i assumed you didn't.

But still, again, my point stands.

Youre too old.

[crisp cedar]

Not really as I’d still daily it right now if I was 20 or 21

[viscid atlas]

No, no you wouldnt

[crisp cedar]

Fuck I’d even daily it if I was 16 lol

[viscid atlas]

Youre not that age right now, and your brain wouldve developed differently

[crisp cedar]

Nothing would stop me

[viscid atlas]

Nurture matters, a lot

Youre not that person

So this hypothetical doesnt work

[crisp cedar]

I don’t even care about tech

[viscid atlas]

Im actually 21

[crisp cedar]

I don’t want to ever even think of owning a heap of shit called a Tesla

[viscid atlas]

And id rather be able to use my phone to listen to music, track where my car is, heat it up without getting into it

I hate tesla

I still like being able to seemlessly use my phone with my car.

[crisp cedar]

Lol fuck I daily a 1990 landcruiser no stereo no aircon and do you think I hate it nope I love it as stuff modern cars

[viscid atlas]

And if i do ever get a testa, which again, i eventually will as i have the economical ability to, i will modernize the interior, and work the engine to be atleast as reliable as the 512TR

[crisp cedar]

And me being a mechanic modern cars literally give me the shits

[viscid atlas]

Cool, again, youre old XD

[crisp cedar]

Not really

[viscid atlas]

Older than me by 4 years

Or 5

[crisp cedar]

And?

Doesn’t mean I’m old

[viscid atlas]

The word old is relative my guy

[crisp cedar]

Fuck I still live with my mom

[viscid atlas]

Youre old, from my point of view

I drove a 1989 S13 stock for long enough to know i want connectivity

And i did add an aftermarket head unit to it eventually, and it improved my daily cruising experience by a lot

I keep the stock parts, i never cut the interior nor drill

I would never ruin an OEM part.

I think you miss my point of keeping the vehicle OEM pieces in, well, one piece

So if i were to get rid of the vehicle, sell it etc. I can return it to OEM

[crisp cedar]

I daily this no head unit no aircon no fancy bullshit that causes issues

[viscid atlas]

In this case, the engine would stay aftermarket, as Testa' engines are way less reliable than the 512TR

Cool, i dont get any issues from aftermarket head units

[crisp cedar]

I wasn’t saying that god your dopey lol

Probably American I’m guessing

Since you have Tesla and all that shit

[viscid atlas]

What ._.

I dont have a tesla

Huh??

I daily drive an 06' 911

If you want like solid proof

[crisp cedar]

Porsche yuck

[viscid atlas]

lol

Its literally the most comfy sports car

But ok

[crisp cedar]

I’d rather my landcruiser all day long over a Porsche

[viscid atlas]

That aint a sports car my guy

Im not a fan of tall big vehicles

I like manuverable small cars

[crisp cedar]

I’d still rather it

[viscid atlas]

Cool, and guess what? Youre not me XD

[crisp cedar]

I’d rather burn a Porsche than drive one

Any euro cars are the worst for reliability

[viscid atlas]

Have fun doing that

Tbh, youre probably American

Euro cars are reliable aslong as you maintain them.

And theyre WAY more comfortable than their american counterparts

Ive already test driven corvettes.

Basically the only american sports car other than the viper

[crisp cedar]

Definitely not

[viscid atlas]

And that line is dead now.

Ive already driven jap sports cars aswell

Hell i had an 89' S13

Theyre nice, but the interior quality isnt as good as euro

[crisp cedar]

I’d rather anything over euro shitboxes lol

[viscid atlas]

Lmao

Ok

Imagine driving a shitbox, and calling all euro cars shitboxes

Im not really in the mood to bother with a troll, so have fun with whatever car you like lmao.

[crisp cedar]

Definitely not a shitbox when it’s way more reliable

[viscid atlas]

Oh joy, an SUV is more reliable than a sports car, huh who wouldve guessed lmfao

[prime valve]

Euro cars have the best interiors

[crisp cedar]

I’d like to see your Porsche do 428900ks and still drives like new

[viscid atlas]

Dude youre a joke XD

Oh it can, Because i maintain my car XD

[crisp cedar]

Lol good luck

[viscid atlas]

Sure, its already at a quarter of that number, and itll go high above it if i decide to keep the car

[crisp cedar]

I look after mine

[prime valve]

if you maintain a euro car it will drive great

for a long time

[viscid atlas]

Ofcourse, they just need attention, you get what you pay from. If youre paying for a premium experience you'll get that, if youre not, you wont.

[flint sable]

996 bearing moment

They’re great though

[viscid atlas]

@flint sable thankfully this is a 997.1 06' i did my research

And the bearing fix, although expensive, fixes that issue

[prime valve]

My Dad has a 2009 audi a4 he has 270k Miles on it drives like new

[flint sable]

Already had preventive maintenance on our Carerra 4

[viscid atlas]

@flint sable another based carrera 4 driver

[flint sable]

I mean

Not my car

But

[viscid atlas]

So yea basically if you have an 06'+ 997.1 they have the M96.05 engine

Which has the bigger bearing to begin with

[flint sable]

When I say our I mean my dads or moms and

Really can’t claim those as mt own

[crisp cedar]

It’s odd as literally everyone over here has issues all the time with euro cars so unless they are built different or they just can’t handle where we live or what I don’t know

[viscid atlas]

@flint sable itll be yours eventually lmao

[crisp cedar]

Even super well looked after ones have issues non stop here

[viscid atlas]

I literally am in upstate NY, it snows all winter

This car is perfectly fine

[flint sable]

There’s my wagon in the background

[viscid atlas]

I think ive seen that somewhere?

Maybe in the porsche discord

Or maybe it was the same spec

[flint sable]

Not in it

This one was custom ordered to match the original owners original Carerra

[prime valve]

Merican cars arent that good

Every car has an issue

[crisp cedar]

I don’t live in America

[viscid atlas]

Corvettes are just aint comfy

[crisp cedar]

I don’t even like america

[viscid atlas]

Bentleys are EVEN more trouble than Euro cars maintenance wise

Japanese cars interiors are not very well built

[prime valve]

Maserati is a joke

[viscid atlas]

Also their engines are just not big enough imo

Maserati is yea, a joke

Lotus is kinda good... Well was till they decided to kill off all of their nice cars

[prime valve]

yeah

[viscid atlas]

I do want an evora, because the engines easy as fuck to maintain and mod

And the car is well, nice

[prime valve]

New Audis are so uncomfortable

[viscid atlas]

But the auto gb sucks and manual is so hard to find

[prime valve]

the older gen is a lot nicer than the new ones pre 2019

[viscid atlas]

I like the R8

[prime valve]

its nice but they just build them for looks not quality

recently driven the new A6 45 TFSI top spec but its pretty trash

Half the car is plastic

not a lot of leg room the quality is just bad

[flint sable]

Haven’t been in our F10 in a while

Power delivery is really smooth but the suspension can be a bit too stiff at times

[viscid atlas]

@prime valve i mean, R8 is pretty nice because its essentially just a Lamborghini in a business suit

The quality isnt bad at all on those

I wouldnt know about the A series

[prime valve]

R8 is meh

[viscid atlas]

I like it, especially for its used market price

[prime valve]

definitely a steal

[viscid atlas]

Its essentially the cheapest non sports car trim supercar

Like for example, the 911 turbos are also cheap, but they have carreras which arent supercars that look the same

Also ferrari modena are cool too

Although a problem with modena is the fuel pump above exhaust

Fire problem

[prime valve]

I used to like the newer cars but they all seem pretty trash now the quality and the looks

[viscid atlas]

@prime valve i like early 2000s stuff

Other than specific cars

[prime valve]

same

[viscid atlas]

I think thats when quality and design peaked

I also like 70s classics

[prime valve]

best car ever made is the fiat 125p

absolute beast

going 100km/h in it is like going 300 in a new car

[viscid atlas]

@prime valve lmao

I mean, yea those kinda cars are funny to drive

Its just im really into early 2000s supers

[prime valve]

Which ones ?

[viscid atlas]

@prime valve uh, gallardo, elise etc

360 modena i guess if you count a 1999

[prime valve]

i see

[viscid atlas]

Idk if R8 constitutes as an early 2000s super, but that

The dodge Viper ofcourse

[prime valve]

2006

[viscid atlas]

911 turbos

[prime valve]

i like the newer viper coz someone made it have 2500hp

[viscid atlas]

I also like the 1st gen NSX with the popups

[prime valve]

yeah NSX is real cool

[viscid atlas]

Eh, you can make anything 3000HP if you spend enough money on it

I care more about the cars looks and interior

[prime valve]

yeah but thats the only one i looked at and it seems insane

[viscid atlas]

Ofcourse its insane imagine driving it on a city road XD

[prime valve]

yeah interior really matters for me since i will be driving it

American cars just have ugly interiors for me

[viscid atlas]

Exactly my point on why i think a classic with a modernized interior is a good thing

You dont even have to get rid of/make unusable the OEM parts

Just keep them and install new/custom made interior pieces

We're in 2022 now, we have 3d modeling technology and also 3d printing technology, you can literally remodel your interior at home with a computer and a printer that can print PC

Also need to know leatherworking

But still

[prime valve]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utS4Y0mqBiI&ab_channel=ThatRacingChannel

this guy seems kinda insane

[prime valve]

Only Vegan leather

[viscid atlas]

Sure if youre into that sort of thing

Im fine with using normal leather depending on the source

[prime valve]

dont think they use regular leather anymore

Many cars use Vegan leather because something

Not a fan because it doesnt really feel like leather

Audi RS6 C6 is a cool car idk seems like a sleeper to me

[wispy cloak]

Found more goodies on the mustang I didn't see in the first place

[civic girder]

Cope ig.
I don't care one way or the other. My daily has android auto, but I can definitely live without it.
There's a special feeling when you get out of your fancy modern car and step into an analog older car.
Using infotainment in an 80s car isn't as good of an experience as using the tech that was available at the time. Tapes, radio, etc; way cooler than a convenient way to see my Google maps

single din infotainment systems look dumb and block controls half the time.
Plus, why would you ever get rid of an 80s headunit? they look so cool
At the very least, it fits the style since that's what was designed and intended to be used

[charred depot]

I just use a bluetooth FM transmitter and me phone in any car

[dense shard]

I enjoy modern infotainment.

It's a nice luxury to have, and at this point a standard feature I expect in all modern cars.

And an aux jack or blue tooth isn't asking for much imo.

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

The ultimate midwest flex.

[viscid atlas]

@civic girder Sorry, i dont have rose colored glasses. I see things for what they are, old tech is a hassle. If im daily driving an old car it will have new things in the interior, and i dont need to cope, i can afford to do what i want :)

If anything, you sound like youre coping

[civic girder]

Lmao

you're definitely on copiun

[viscid atlas]

Im not the one who has rose colored glasses on fam

[civic girder]

[viscid atlas]

Nor the one who uses old technology cus its "cool"

Cus really, it isnt, its old

[civic girder]

I nEeD cArPlAy

[viscid atlas]

I bet youd be the person to use a flip phone cus its cool lmao

[elfin stone]

Meh, I had CarPlay in my car, was unusable

[viscid atlas]

Also i don't use carplay, as i use a note 20

[viscid atlas]

Well, note 20 ultra.

[elfin stone]

Now it is much better

[remote ridge]

I really enjoy the old technology of the analog ac system I have in my miata

[wispy cloak]

None of my cars have anything more than a cd changer

[viscid atlas]

Yea no thanks

[remote ridge]

Something about pushing the lever over and hearing everything move is awesome

[viscid atlas]

I have a CD changer in my 911

[wispy cloak]

I hate climate controls that are part of the infotainment system

[viscid atlas]

Its usable WITH the aftermarket headunit i will get

[wispy cloak]

Such a pain to use

[viscid atlas]

Oh, no, orço

Of course*

No one said anything about that.

[remote ridge]

Atleast we agree on that

[viscid atlas]

I dont like AC controls and other "car" controls that are bound to the headunit and only the headunit either

[elfin stone]

Yup

[wispy cloak]

The Mopar infotainment system sucks (as Mopar things do)

[viscid atlas]

However i do like responsive headunits that have good bluetooth.

[civic girder]

but that's modern

[viscid atlas]

Not everything modern is good, why do you think i dislike tesla so much?

However i cannot, and wont drive a classic without certain modern amenities

[civic girder]

yeah that's copiun lmao

[viscid atlas]

Not really.

[wispy cloak]

I'm fine with a radio and air conditioning

[viscid atlas]

Im not the one coping, as i know how to you know, add what i want to any car

[remote ridge]

As far as headunits go, I like a mix of old and new, Bluetooth and aux yes, touchscreen is iffy only because not all are that good and I like using actual buttons and knobs more

[viscid atlas]

And i do it

[civic girder]

You cannot tell me it's not copium to refuse to drive an old car without modern features lmfao

[wispy cloak]

My mustang won't have any creature comforts

[viscid atlas]

How is it copium, if i own a car, and swap things on it to my liking lmfao

[wispy cloak]

Won't even have power steering in that

[viscid atlas]

@wispy cloak are you gonna drive your mustang daily?

[wispy cloak]

No

[viscid atlas]

Exactly.

[charred depot]

My 305 has no PS that is my new daily

[viscid atlas]

I was talking about dailies.

Not once a week cars.

[wispy cloak]

My current daily has air conditioning and a radio

[remote ridge]

It's the same as slamming a car, some people think it's stupid others enjoy it

[wispy cloak]

Also power mirrors and windows

[viscid atlas]

I only think this is stupid if youre literally scraping all over the place and ruining your undercoat

Other than that, sure go ahead

[civic girder]

I have and would daily old cars, but I happen to have the choice to daily a much more efficient new car to relegate the old cars to fun

[viscid atlas]

Id

[remote ridge]

I daily my Miata, no power steering, no power mirrors, no ac. Has heat and power windows tho

[viscid atlas]

@civic girder AKA youre coping.

[civic girder]

Dailied my RX-7 for a while

[charred depot]

my oldest car is my most efficient sadly.

[wispy cloak]

If I had the money I would buy a new f150 with a 3.5

[remote ridge]

It's definitely stupid but some people enjoy it so can't diss them when I do stupid as well

[viscid atlas]

I used to daily my 89 S13, and after i get Bluetooth in it was way better to drive

And my friends etc being able to play what they want is also nice

AC is nice because i do not like hot weather.

[wispy cloak]

I just tell my friends to make their cds or cassettes before getting in my car

[viscid atlas]

Main reason why im upstate NY

[civic girder]

My RX-7 was great to daily other than the fact it started having ignition issues.
Just 80s car things

[remote ridge]

Bluetooth is one thing I would like in my Miata, I can deal with no ac, and I don't notice the lack of power steering

[viscid atlas]

@wispy cloak none of my buddies even own a CD burner

[charred depot]

shoulda got a diesel

[wispy cloak]

I have a stack of cd and dvd burners sitting in my basement

[civic girder]

you guys let your friends play music in your car?

[wispy cloak]

No

[remote ridge]

A lot of laptops or computers with a cd reader and burn cds as well

[civic girder]

nah my new daily gets better mpg than a diesel

[viscid atlas]

I do, because i dont mind listening to other music from what i listen to

@remote ridge yes, which is something none of my friends have.

[wispy cloak]

My current daily gets awful gas mileage

[viscid atlas]

I get a whole 12 mpg

[wispy cloak]

I get 11 mpg

[viscid atlas]

Lol

[civic girder]

imagine getting less than 20mpg

[remote ridge]

https://c.tenor.com/5iyknwHpPFAAAAAM/lol-laughing.gif

25

[charred depot]

my 80's car is my most economical thanks to it being a diesel, plan to use it as my main car.

[wispy cloak]

11 mpg isn't even my least efficient vehicle

I live life in pain at current gas prices

[civic girder]

only 25? that's kinda pathetic for as small and light as a Miata is

[remote ridge]

Right, you would think it would be more

[civic girder]

iirc Miatas we're rated for at least 28 highway

[remote ridge]

I drive it hard everywhere

[wispy cloak]

My most efficient running and driving vehicle is the geo

[viscid atlas]

Imagine needing to get better than 15 mpg

[remote ridge]

Also mostly top down with causes more drag

[wispy cloak]

I don't know what it gets I just know it gets better than the dakota

[civic girder]

I drive my rx-7 hard and still don't get under 20mpg lol

[civic girder]

[viscid atlas]

@remote ridge thats the one thing i really like, the droptop. But i dislike Cabrios

@civic girder cope harder please :)

[remote ridge]

This may be a bit controversial but I don't like convertible muscle cars

[viscid atlas]

🤣

[charred depot]

I think verts are funny because I live in Scotland

[remote ridge]

They just seem off

[viscid atlas]

I dont like convertible soft tops

Hardtops are very cool

[wispy cloak]

I don't either

[viscid atlas]

911 targas for example

[wispy cloak]

They're cheaper than hardtops but seem to cause nightmares later on in life

[viscid atlas]

I was looking into a targa 06' but the price is basically a turbo

So i just got a carrera 4 because its like, literally half the cost

And id rather spend that amount on an R8 or similar

[remote ridge]

Reliability wise I feel like a soft top is better than a hard top

[remote ridge]

All a soft top has is hinges and a chance to rip, a hard top has motors and crap and is way more expensive if it gets damaged

[viscid atlas]

Also would like to find a restore worthy junkyard 71' riviera

To make into a pro-tourer

Idk why i just really like specifically this car from that era

[wispy cloak]

I want a cougar

I love the headlights on it

And the grille

[viscid atlas]

Those are pretty cool

Idk, i just really like that rear of the riviera, and front too

It would make an awesome pro-touring car

Although, gearbox

Its only automatic

So, id somehow need to either turn it to a manual, or get a very good auto gearbox

[wispy cloak]

There's probably a swap that's possible

[charred depot]

this is luxury

old french suspension, chonky tyres.

[civic girder]

Metal is a lot harder to tear than cloth my boy

[viscid atlas]

Soft tops are less reliable in the material sense, but hardtops do require more structural rigidity in the system to lower and raise them

AKA the motors may burn out quicker on hardtops.

[civic girder]

oh we're talking about shitty cars

[viscid atlas]

Cars in general.

Doesnt matter if a car is shitty or not, it depends on the parts used

Ill remind the bentley with the automatic boot motor

You know, that motor that always breaks on them

Making the boot not close all the way

[wispy cloak]

All of my cars except the geo are not convertibles which is probably for the best

The audi has a sunroof but that's it

[viscid atlas]

Ye, thats the only thing i have assell

A sunroof

[dense shard]

Time to check out a Honda Fit.

Replace the Jeep winter beater.

[civic spoke]

I've heard that those are pretty Jazzy.

[charred depot]

🗿

[remote ridge]

Paint is easier to scratch than cloth to rip, metal dents, cloth dont

[charred depot]

who jumpin on your car

[dense shard]

Convertibles with hardtops are heavier and the mechanism is more complex.

And takes up more room.

Treat a cloth top well and it'll be perfectly well durable over the years.

[remote ridge]

Only plus side to a hardtop imo is security and less drag

[dense shard]

Also I imagine a folding metal top has more seals that can go bad as well.

I doubt you'd notice the drag difference in daily driving.

And if someone wants to break into your car, they will regardless of your roof type.

[remote ridge]

You don't, there is a large drag difference in top up and down but I don't notice the mpg difference much in daily driving

[dense shard]

I'm talking about folding hardtop vs cloth top

I don't recall BMWs having much difference between the two.

Nor does Mazda.

[remote ridge]

That's going to be even less of a difference

[dense shard]

Hell Mazda killed their hardtop off with the ND generation.

RF is a nice in between convertible and just roof.

[remote ridge]

Yeah, it does look really nice

Also a lot safer

[dense shard]

I just wish they did a fastback for the Miata.

I imagine they're equally safe. Modern safety systems are wild.

[remote ridge]

The only thing I've found is a 3d model on Etsy that you still need to mock up and do the fiberglass work yourself

I meant safety in a rollover

[dense shard]

yes, I know

Modern safety systems are wild for convertibles specifically.

[remote ridge]

Oh cool, I didn't know that

[dense shard]

A-pill has to hold the weight, and the hoops basically explode from behind you.

and those are supposed to hold the weight up as well.

Now if you are over 5'10 and your head rests above the windshield? Okay you kinda hosed.

[remote ridge]

My windshield would turn into a pancake in a rollover

[dense shard]

oof

[remote ridge]

Still can't convince my mom to get a roll bar tho

She says you don't need it if you don't roll the car

[dense shard]

She's not wrong.

But safety is great imo

[charred depot]

safety through fear

[remote ridge]

I mean yeah but I don't want to die if I do

[dense shard]

I have no intentions of crashing, but I still wear my safety belts.

You can be the most careful driver on the planet, but you share the road.

[remote ridge]

Same, even if it wasn't the law I still think I would

[dense shard]

You are as safe as the others on the road.

[remote ridge]

Everyone tells me to drive home safe, I used to respond with I'm not the one you need to worry about

[viscid atlas]

I wouldnt get a hardtop convertible for reliability, id get it for looks and winter use

[copper salmon]

Idk who did the wiring but the sucked at it

[copper salmon]

Whyyy

[civic spoke]

Gotta ground it somehow.

[charred depot]

Tempted to rewire the saab and tuck it all but I dont think its that much of a show car heh

I make looms for trains sometimes

[dense shard]

You don't get a convertible at all if you are worried about winter use.

[timber oar]

yeah a conventional convertible is not something you get with winter in mind lol

perhaps something like the old broncos or original 4runner where its a solid cap you just totally remove if you want it off

hell even something that has t tops since thats all just glass

but absolutely not a soft top convertible lmfao

[copper salmon]

Ya but at least put electrical tape on the ends to know it's a ground wire

[viscid atlas]

there are some who drive one at my college, im upstate NY

[fathom socket]

I just wago quick connectors

[charred depot]

Considering upping my saab

Only issue is insurance

[mellow meteor]

yoink

keep telling my buddy to let me buy his m3 , wish he would let me

[remote ridge]

Maybe it's just me and how overly polite I am but the thing about selling anything expensive to a friend is you never want to ask for that much money from a friend and you don't want to to rip them off, on the other hand buying from a friend is great especially if you make the offer because then you know how well it's been taken care off and if you do over shoot the price on the higher side then you don't have to worry about them being worried about cheating you out on money

[mellow meteor]

😐

[bitter compass]

Ye selling to friends is kinda weird
a) you feel bad for charging a friend that much
b) your friend feels bad for paying that little

Especially on something more expensive like cars, like undercharging for a PC ain't that bad ~ but even then your friend will feels like i can't take it

[viral matrix]

First wash of the year, still waiting for the ice to melt, so I can go riding

just watched Alex Choi's video on this

i really dont understand why they would attempt at doing this

[charred depot]

I think theres a few other vids from the same spot

must be stolen right ?

[charred depot]

Id like to think but wouldnt be suprised otherwise

[prime valve]

its a 150K USD tesla

[charred depot]

people are crazy

[prime valve]

yeah but 150K crazy

if they dont like money its a perfect clip

Apparently there was a cat in the backseat

[charred depot]

I dont think it worked in their head that it was going to end up that bad

[prime valve]

yeah too many movies have been watched

[stoic ledge]

Pre-facelift Tesla Model S, so not 150k

Probably also battery problems just after the warranty expired

Just like that Swedish guy which blew it up

How do people pull stupid shit like this in Teslas

these things literally drive themselves

Everytime I hear someone talking about a tesla crash really makes me wonder how doomed we are as humans

[wispy cloak]

Autopilot is still far from a perfect autonomous vehicle

[crisp cedar]

Where can I post dirtbike?

[bitter compass]

Well the tesla isn't responsible for stupidity these idiots are the same sort of kids that drift their bmw into a curb because they think they're cool when doing it

[deep zealot]

No you’re absolutely right lol

[deep zealot]

My point is that those things are so heavy like a yacht and they have 50 redundant safety features and still managed to total it

These rich kids are new heights of stupidity

[viscid atlas]

@deep zealot i mean, they bought a tesla, that already tells enough of their smarts

[deep zealot]

Very true

[fathom socket]

does anyone have an idea as to why my 2009 subaru forester struggles to start, i believe its the battery, however, it was starting fine before cleaning throttle body and MAFS, after i cleaned those i disconnected battery to reset computer

it does not do it everytime and it is not anything to do with the head gaskets as those have been replace and are checked frequently

[charred depot]

what did you clean the mafs with

[fathom socket]

mafs cleaner

[brittle niche]

does it just take a while to start or does it take multiple tries with a really loud clicking noise?

[fathom socket]

takes a while

starts everytime

[brittle niche]

okay so battery then

[fathom socket]

ok

[brittle niche]

I know all too well the sound of a bad starter. I just had mine start to act up on my charger.

Does someone know what class B1 is on driving license? I can’t find anything

[civic spoke]

Quad.

This is what it says on our page about B1.

Google translated.

[bitter compass]

T is just such a weird license

Like nobody cares that the 14 year old is driving the tractor through the village but if you're adult you're screwed without it

[civic spoke]

Tractor. Normally a separate thing here.

[bitter compass]

I actually didn't know that a trailer on a bus needed an extra license interesting

[bitter compass]

Waaait a second L is missing on yours

Where small tractors

[civic spoke]

Ain't got that on ours.

[bitter compass]

Which you don't need an actual license for because you get with with everything except bikes

[civic spoke]

If you're curious. The 01.06 just means that I require glasses while driving.

[bitter compass]

I kinda want a bike

But i don't wanna spend the time to get the license for it

[bitter compass]

Im more curious why you need it only for lorries

[civic spoke]

Because that's work vehicles. I guess.

Dang it. I just realized that I need to update my work competence stuff so that I'm allowed to work with trailers...

[bitter compass]

Its also funny that my mum didn't ever have to get a new license

She has one from a country that doesn't exist anymore but it doesn't expire so she doesn't have to get a new one xD

Germany is kinda ridiculous

[stoic ledge]

I don't have that note even though I also require glasses 🙃

Idk why I don't have it, I should

I'll wear them anyway otherwise I can't see shit

Eye correction laser or contact lenses is an option

But the pro Lem was i could not get correct frames fro my lenses

They had to be very specific

Should I go for it?

[agile marsh]

watching linus solar panel install for the his home.
Was wondering if eclectic tesla cars has a solar panel option? on the top or something.
I latterly dive half hour each way 2 to 3 times a day. probably sitting there for at least 9 hours or something, maybe less depending.
Just something to consider. It will kinda suck on a snowy day. guess just charge it normally if that happens. I only wonder if you can get more then sun powered. moon powered or just charge with the panel.
Would be funny if you can pop up a wind turbine. I can only see it getting damaged by some punks...
I read a article that the hybrids cars, when you press break it does things to charge the battery. living i a city, always stopping for a red light.
Hey if it saves me money in the total end then why not.

the amount it would cost to integrate solar panels and not have them impact the aerodynamics, at best you are going to get like 1kwh

[stiff burrow]

I don’t know how effective that would be

Probably better for businesses to have chargers available in their garage or lot

[agile marsh]

just googled this.

Expensive but can be fun, I might do it but I'd make it memorable like making a roadtrip with dad/grandpa/...

[stoic ledge]

Sion That was their old prototype, it should now look something like this

Sad it keeps getting postponed, and it keeps getting more expensive

I'm curious to see if they can make it a reality

This car would be a great promotor foe right to repair as they also made the car with self repairing in mind, providing it with a service manual so you can fix it yourself, and easily to source/"cheap to buy" parts

Unlike kuch Tesla kuch

Start of production is now 2023, purchase price is €28500

(in Germany, so ~ €24k / 26.5k USD before tax)

54kWh battery, 120kW engine (163hp), not too bad for its price

idk make the solor panels better. Are they lazy or something it's 2022.
Just stick a panel on a tree and power your home. All good. off the grid. no need to go work that often :p . meh power from the grid is pretty reliable thou. It's a place for more workers i guess.

[bleak pawn]

The grid is reliable most of the time
Besides when the whole thing goes out

[agile marsh]

ya but you gotta go to that job thing to pay the bill a little more.
Meh you will most likley need to repair the panels anyways.

if your in a city you should be ok.
hole thing went out from when i remember only 2 to 3 times.

[solemn inlet]

Ah yes, lightning be like

[dense shard]

Parts were never an issue with cars.

Do they offer an open source software platform with an easily accessible diagnostic suite?

And can I do that on my own?

[viscid atlas]

Fisker karma/ karma revero have solar panels

[stoic ledge]

[stoic ledge]

Lucid 😎

[civic spoke]

Eww. No. I can't really stand Karma. But you do you.

I just want a more simple EV.

[stoic ledge]

Wasn't the Revero kinda disappointing?

[viscid atlas]

i like the original

but the original has issues that can be solved with revero parts

so
