Just Cars?

[proud tulip]

thats why i dont get high octane fuel

shit idek if itd be worth running in my Civic anyway

[open sigil]

this chevron had it backwards for some stupid reason

usually it’s 87 89 91 this one was 91 89 87

[proud tulip]

Whack

i run 87 in my Civic

i couldddd run 89 but dont see a point

[open sigil]

i didn’t notice a difference at all in my car

[proud tulip]

I dont really think there is much of a difference honestly

[neat isle]

Run everclear through it

ZOOOOM

[proud tulip]

everclear? 🤔

is that like SeaFoam?

[neat isle]

super super high proof alc

[proud tulip]

Ooohhhh

[neat isle]

Almost pure ethanol

[proud tulip]

O_O

its raining hard asf

[neat isle]

Actually works as car fuel

[proud tulip]

weirddd

[open sigil]

after i realized my mistake i frantically searched google

turns out you can’t hurt your engine by going up an octane

only down

[neat isle]

Yup

And going BACK should be ok if it’s just this once

[open sigil]

i could’ve saved so much money

[neat isle]

Maybe top it up with 89 when it’s halfway but idk- not an expert ofc

[open sigil]

don’t even wanna calculate the difference that i could’ve saved

just accepting my mistake not looking any closer and moving on

[neat isle]

baby elephant walk

[languid jay]

Honestly the difference is engine performance

That's it

High end cars need high end fuel

[open sigil]

@languid jay here finally go 😂 sorry for the wait

being at night the quality is worse but thats just how cameras are

you wont be getting any license plates.. maybe if youre right up on someones bumper and travelling at the exact same speed. but the daytime footage is amazing

and at night with my rear tint does make it worse but its still good enough

let me know if you want me to share daytime footage too

also, for anyone that wants to save a lot of money on gas (up to 3 fill ups)

sign up for chevron rewards, download the app, you can get 1 dollar off per gallon up to 3 times

i got 1 dollar off per gallon today, i can use it again for a second visit, after that i will get a 3rd visit bonus and that is the max

free game for y’all

[languid jay]

Your good. Okay I think I am going to get it today and installed tomorrow

And I am going to get the CPL filter to see how it is on the camera. They both could use a filter tbh

[open sigil]

👀

[open sigil]

im still mad

WHY CHEVRON

i paid $5.5 per gallon

how 99% of other pumps do it

the way chevron does it should be illegal

[languid jay]

Well tbh you should have been looking

for all that we know you have been running on ethanol this whole time

[open sigil]

my car wouldve been totaled a long time ago if that were the case 😂

[languid jay]

I know but it's something telling you that you need to start paying more attention

And looking out for card skimmers and shit

[open sigil]

true true

but to be fair out of every single pump ive ever filled at, this chevron was the only one that did it like that

[languid jay]

Take it as a wake up call

[open sigil]

yeah ill be looking at every pump now

but on the bright side no damage done to the car

[languid jay]

That is the main thing tbh

[neat isle]

So that people who don’t pay attention pay more

That’s my guess

Usually things rise in price to the right

Flipping it makes more people go left

Kinda shady but it works

[open sigil]

people that never go to chevron

for people whos cars require 91

theyre gonna be fucked

most people that just need 87 will be fine

[neat isle]

Also what’re those prices… $6.60/gal for 87???

[open sigil]

just random pics i got from the internet

around my house 87 is around 4.5-4.6, by my school 4.9ish

san diego is like 5.1-5.2

[neat isle]

Yeesh

[open sigil]

life used to be good 87 at 3.5

[languid jay]

87 at like 2.30

Good times when I can go fast

[neat isle]

Thx CG, I don’t pay much attention to gas prices- I just know $5 is bad

[languid jay]

Currently it's around like 3.60 ish

[open sigil]

😔

[frosty snow]

I think it’s just some more mileage

[languid jay]

Damn @open sigil I was about to buy the dash cam today and it increased

[open sigil]

😂 i’m sure it will be back down in a week or so

[late linden]

There goes the first gallon

[honest chasm]

LMFAO FACTS

[proud tulip]

needs some bigger wheels and tires tho

[honest chasm]

Yeah I know

[languid jay]

https://tenor.com/view/waiting-gif-23395435

Me waiting for the price to come back down

[open sigil]

those things are amazing

[frosty snow]

[proud tulip]

Looks slow ngl

Apparently. Nissan is gonna make an all electric R32 GTR Skyline???

[weak turtle]

Ayo? 👀

[proud tulip]

Mhmmm

saw a thing about it on facebook

gonna try and find some more info on it

[open sigil]

looks like it’s just a one-off project car

[weak turtle]

[proud tulip]

I think its just a concept atm

itd be neat tho

probably banned in the US instanteously

like the other R32s

[weak turtle]

Uh

R32's are legal in the US

Including the Right-handed drivers

[open sigil]

i mean its not gonna be a car people will be able to buy

[proud tulip]

They werent always :P. they had an import ban on them way back when didnt they?

[open sigil]

nismo department probably just got bored and had a spare chassis lying around 🤣

[open sigil]

its the 25 year rule

[weak turtle]

You can import them, but you'll need the serious cash if they're not on the test-crash registry

[proud tulip]

Ahhhh

id rather have a RHD Civic

[open sigil]

car needs to be 25 years or above to be imported

[weak turtle]

As long its pre-1995

[proud tulip]

ahhhh lol

[weak turtle]

Buuut given cars are going Electric now, those bans don't apply

Since the ban talks about "gas emitted R30-series"

[proud tulip]

i honestly dont think EVs are gonna be able to last

our power grid cant handle it

shit it can hardly handle everyone running the AC in the summer 😂

[open sigil]

the ban is for foreign imports lol. it applies to cars that are not built to conform to us laws

[proud tulip]

not to mention not everyone can afford an EV

[weak turtle]

Once the car is over 25-years past the original registration period, you’re free to import absolutely anything as long as it comes with the OEM engine or at least one with EPA certification

[open sigil]

evs will be affordable sooner or later

up until march, you could get a tesla model 3 for under 30k in california

[proud tulip]

Okay but like... not everyone can charge them at home bcz a lot of people live in apartment buildings? 😂

[open sigil]

figure was around 26 or 27k after all rebates

[weak turtle]

Noooow if you live in California, well.......the fee's are VERY EXPENSIVE

[proud tulip]

also... how does an EV handle floods? 😂

[open sigil]

a gas car cant handle floods either

[proud tulip]

i mean Isaac. thats just California in general

[weak turtle]

DON'T DRIVE INTO FLOODS

[proud tulip]

I dont 😂 but not everyone follows that

i wouldnt ever get an EV anyway

[open sigil]

one of teslas first goals was to create a 30k EV

[proud tulip]

how is 30K even affordable? 🤔

[open sigil]

look at the us average and that is very affordable

the average new car selling price is near 50k

[weak turtle]

30K is a steal for a brand new car

[open sigil]

exactly

[weak turtle]

Also here's the link for the Skyline info I got;
https://www.drifted.com/nissan-skyline-illegal-united-states/

There's a looot more but fingers are tired, lol

[open sigil]

the average as of 2023 is around 48k for a new car

[weak turtle]

wait

1997 + 25 = 2022

AYO

[open sigil]

even as long ago as 2012 the average was still over 30k for a new car

[proud tulip]

[weak turtle]

Wait fuck I'm in cali

[proud tulip]

Did you just now put that together Isaac

😂

[weak turtle]

The specific skyline I want is entirely banned in Cali, beyond the 25 rule

[proud tulip]

i could import a 95 RHD Civic if i wanted

but id rather wait till 2025

[open sigil]

there are some loopholes. you can import it as a "show car"

[proud tulip]

so then i can import a RHD 2000 Civc

[open sigil]

but then youre very limited to how much you "can" drive it

but its just "for show" 😉

[proud tulip]

😂

Show cars cant be driven much

[weak turtle]

I mean, I don't mind my "2nd car" being a Show Car

[open sigil]

"can" or "cant" 🤔

[weak turtle]

I'll just do "aggressive maintenance" so it can be low millage

[proud tulip]

canttttt

[open sigil]

it would be a shame if the odometer went back a little bit 🤔

that means you didnt drive it 😉

[proud tulip]

Odometer fraud is illegal

and you can get ticketed for it 😂

[open sigil]

but its your own car

not like youre commiting fraud with intent to profit

[weak turtle]

Just drive backwards

[proud tulip]

doesnt matter 😂

still illegal

[open sigil]

id do it to get a r34 in the states

idc

a r34 is a damn r34

[proud tulip]

just get a new R34

[open sigil]

but if i could import 1 car, it would be this

jzx100 mk2

just an amazing car

and definitely one of thos old japanese big body luxury sedans

like an old toyota crown or a lexus ls400

[proud tulip]

shitttt get an old Accord then

[open sigil]

MANNNNN

the 9th gen coupe looks so fuckin ggood

from what i know the v6 models are also pretty quick

278hp

[tough torrent]

My friends in Japan are already lining up the R34 GTT (GTR will be legal in the US after Jan 1, 2024) to be shipped to the US in the next month or so. You can always get in touch with Toprank one of there buildings are in Cypress, Cali. I'm not sure if Toprank sold the R33 400R yet. Toprank is a import/export.

[late linden]

Are you allowed to swap the engine afterwards?

[weak turtle]

That depends on your state regulations on imports

[late linden]

Ah okay

[frosty snow]

oh yea its that 20year or something gap

[languid jay]

It's still a lot of monies

[tough torrent]

The reason behind the 25 years rule to protect the interests of the automakers and crushing the vehicles. Then in 1998 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued the 25 Year Rule. This allowed vehicles older than 25 years to be admitted into the country because they are “collectible”.

People was bringing R34 GTR years ago and they use them for Track and show display only but there we’re swapping the VIN numbers with other vehicles so they can be register for the public roads allot of shops/Importers got busted.

[frosty snow]

ahhh thanks for the clarification, that makes sense then

[languid jay]

Still waiting on the dashcam to go down

[open sigil]

👀

that’s the same sd card i got for mine

[languid jay]

I was debating this or the 256 GB one

[open sigil]

128 is the sweet spot

[frosty snow]

128 is fine, cuz of the overwrite

and yep high endurance is the ones we have to use for dashcam

[tough torrent]

I’m getting to old. I got talked into during a trans swap in a E55 wagon

[frosty snow]

😂😂😂

ELW is good for tht

[languid jay]

@open sigil

Tiny af

[open sigil]

nice

that’s where it’ll be going

[languid jay]

Yup

Just waiting on the price to go down again

[open sigil]

soon👀

[languid jay]

I have been looking every waking moment

[open sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/credit-card-swipe-gif-10863986

you the moment it goes back down to 133😂

[frosty snow]

👀

[proud tulip]

Gibbbbb 😆

[languid jay]

Yupppp

Same day delivery too

Soo pogggg

Just waiting now....

[open sigil]

same day delivery is awesome

i got mine within like 3-4 hours of ordering

[tough torrent]

2.5hr done from start to finish and my friend said anymore trans jobs he is giving it to me

[open sigil]

you’re a mechanic?

[languid jay]

Ikr

The SD card is taking it's time tho

It's supposed to come in like Wednesday

[tough torrent]

I use to do full restoration and build motors back in my racing days as a hobby

[open sigil]

that’s awesome

[proud tulip]

Should restore my Civic and overhaul my engine for me

[tough torrent]

Your engine is easy to remove and rebuild it.

[proud tulip]

Yes but its expensive 😆

Wish i could tho tbh

But ive been advised to not do so bcz they want me to sell it

[tough torrent]

That be the easiest and smartest way to sell it

[proud tulip]

Yeeee

Still undecided what i wanna get next

Thinking of getting a newer Civic or an Accord or something

Idk yet 🤔

[tough torrent]

Can you drive manual?

If you can’t decide why don’t you look at insurance cost and then decide?

[proud tulip]

Not a bad idea actually. Ik my Civics insurance is actually quite cheap surprisingly

And i can drive manual a bit yeah. But never driven it more than maybe for a 15 minute drive or so.

[tough torrent]

For Honda I recommend going manual. Honda and Acura always have issue with there Automatic reliability

[proud tulip]

Thats what ive heard lol

Ik the newer hondas have a bit better reliabilty with the automatic transmissions.

Also starting to use full synthetic in my civic as it seems to last longer than regular oil does in it lol

[proud tulip]

Oh mannn. The rust on the car is getting wayyyy worse than it was when i first got it 🥲. Theres so much more popping up now bcz of the road salt we use

[open sigil]

time to get a 2023 civic

[open sigil]

gonna do it right this time

and like magic it’s a dollar off 🤫

[proud tulip]

I cant afford one sirrrr 🤣

[open sigil]

just afford it

smh

but all jokes aside, i think you’d really like a 9th gen accord coupe

look around they’re pretty affordable

v6 model, modern enough, pretty fast

and good on gas for a v6

8/9th gen accord v6, coupe/sedan

those are great and affordable

[proud tulip]

I feel like id enjoy those quite a bit lol

Havent seen any with any major visual mods tho 👀

Wait... the 8th gen Accord is called the Honda Inspire in Japan? Lmao

[frosty snow]

93 gas is fun

[tough torrent]

Ingolf. Me giving you advice. I would think about looking into a family SUV. Your going to need it when you start having kids in the future.

[proud tulip]

Lmaooo my fiancee wants to replace her Fiesta with an HRV

[tough torrent]

Fiancée comes first always 🤣

[neat isle]

I would say sell the Honda and replace with the Fiesta

but no

sell the Fiesta

[proud tulip]

Unfortuantely 😂

[proud tulip]

Im not replacing my Civic with a Ford 😂

fuck that lmfao

i dont like her little Fiesta

[neat isle]

Exactly!

[proud tulip]

it eats Shocks/Struts and Brakes like crazy

had to replace both at least twice in the past 6 months already

[neat isle]

Woahhh

fixed or repaired daily amirite

[proud tulip]

literallly

whereas Hondas last foreverrrr

only gotta replace things occassionally 😛

[neat isle]

Toyota too

[proud tulip]

oh absouletly

pretty much anything Japanese based lol

[neat isle]

Yup

[proud tulip]

Toyotas, Hondas, Nissans... they all seem to last forever

[neat isle]

except the Nissan CVT

but we dont mention that

[proud tulip]

🤣 true

[tough torrent]

Honda’s are known for blown modified engine

[proud tulip]

not all hondas sirrrr

[tough torrent]

Except for the Ricers, Track use. You probably rev it up and drop it in D from N

[proud tulip]

i dont tho 😂

i got from P to D thank you very much

bcz im not trying to blow my engine or destroy my transmission SMH

[tough torrent]

🤣

[proud tulip]

Very funny 😂

all fun and games till you see a laptop sitting on the passenger seat SMH

[tough torrent]

Been there done that 🤣

[open sigil]

Lol where are you looking then

just go on autotrader or cargurus or carfax and youll find a ton

also now that ive drained my tank of the 91 my average mpg is dropping

got up to 29.7 average on 91

[proud tulip]

just out and about actually 😂

[open sigil]

accord coupes are amazing

if i could go back in time id get a 9th gen accord coupe

or even the sedan

as long as its the v6

[open sigil]

@languid jay one thing i noticed on the dashcam (you might not have this issue, especially if you hardwire) after all the vehicle systems turn off and next time i turn the car on, the time on the dashcam goes forward by 2 hours

have to connect it to wifi to fix the time by syncing to my phone every time

[languid jay]

Huh I am not hardware wiring it yet

[open sigil]

its the only problem i have with mine, you might not have to deal with it

but viofo is great with software updates i hope they fix it in the next patch

[languid jay]

Just still waiting on the price to go down again

Feel free to ping me if it does

[open sigil]

👍🏼

[frosty snow]

Oh my

[late linden]

love that paint!

[languid jay]

@open sigil earlier I saw someone get karma real fast lol

[open sigil]

👀

convenient cop?

[languid jay]

Yes

Lol

[open sigil]

thats awesome lmao

[languid jay]

Blue charger and someone ran the stoplight and the cop saw and pulled them over before they got on the interstate

[open sigil]

thats great

[languid jay]

I know lol

[open sigil]

i wanna see that happen one day. ive seen plenty run red lights in the morning but no cops around

[languid jay]

I know right

I wish I had my dash cam then

[open sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/pervert-perve-watch-watching-binoculars-gif-20019167

watching for that price

[frosty snow]

Here those dashcam reports don’t get actioned

Just a statement and then cop doesn’t do anything

Only if collision

[languid jay]

If I had it the video would go on Reddit

[frosty snow]

Better, more action than local😂😂😂

[languid jay]

yup lol

[languid jay]

It's $152 now

[languid jay]

@open sigil I am debating if I want to do it or not

[open sigil]

hmm

all up to you

[frosty snow]

It’ll buff out yea ?

[simple bear]

Ouch

[open sigil]

why does it look like there’s a bullet hole

[languid jay]

Got the SD card for it

@open sigil

Oops forgot to take the tag off

Oh well

In think another drop is about to happen

[open sigil]

👀

some people just can’t have any patience at all🤦🏽‍♂️

they drove right through the trees😂

[languid jay]

oof for them

I hate people who are impatient

[open sigil]

their exit is also like 500 feet down the road.. but nah gotta take the shoulder and clip a few trees

[languid jay]

Why clip trees

your doing damage to your own vehicle

[open sigil]

one day they gonna try the same move and scrape their mirrors off

[languid jay]

yup and they cost a lot of money to replace

[open sigil]

the first time i ever drove on public streets when i was 16 on my permit, got sideswiped and other driver took off

mirror costed 700 to replace because it also had the blind spot systems inside of it

but on my car i think the radar is n the rear of the vehicle

actually nevermind, i think in all vehicles the blind spot sensors will be at the rear, but in my moms car and for most that are eqiupped the lights were in the mirror so it costed more

[neat isle]

nah, nope to that

I dont want fancy car

gimme mirror that is mirror

[open sigil]

nah i need my sensors

as safe as you can be, there is always that one guy driving so recklessly only a computer can save you

[languid jay]

I don't have any sort of radar stuff in my car

[languid jay]

You do want heated mirrors tho Beano

[neat isle]

my dads 21 year old car can have them

doesnt currently but totally can

[languid jay]

Heated mirrors are life saving tbh

[neat isle]

I have not used them

BUT

I havent driven in snow

YET

[open sigil]

blind spot detection is a must for me, forward collision warning is nice to have but i could do without it

rear view cam is also a must

[neat isle]

my moms car has blind spot whatever

orange light on the mirror

but I dont know about radar

[languid jay]

That is blind spot

[neat isle]

Don't let them add this as a selling point. This is federally mandated since 2015(?) iirc.

[languid jay]

Blind sport uses radars and ultrasonic sensors

[neat isle]

2018

[open sigil]

my blind spot detection light is on the A pillar which is really convenient. afaik subaru is the only other manufacturer that is doing it that way too

[neat isle]

it is NOT an upcharge-able "feature"

[open sigil]

light is inside rather than on the mirror

[neat isle]

ew

[languid jay]

Subarus puts the light on the mirror facing towards the car

[neat isle]

^^^

I actually just used it lol

[open sigil]

the newer wrx has it on the inside

[neat isle]

Really useful

2020 ascent

[languid jay]

My mom drives a 2022 Subaru Outback

Sooo it's niceeeee

Heated back seats too

[neat isle]

subarus are great cars

[open sigil]

i like it on the inside, easier to see when its pouring rain

[languid jay]

True

[open sigil]

and in the event of my mirror getting taken off it will be a lot cheaper to fix

[languid jay]

I don't have the fancy crap just me driving and nothing to help me

[languid jay]

Keeps me engaged driving instead of slacking off tbh

[open sigil]

im surprised more manufacturers havent messed around with the light positioning

[languid jay]

It's kinda awkward to place it bc everyone wants it some where else

The mirror, the a pillar, the side of the mirror

[open sigil]

newer blind spot systems work so much better now. they can detect at very low speeds, i’ve seen it work for people at like 5 mph or at a standstill even

my system only works at above like 20mph

[languid jay]

I kinda wanted eyesight but I think that would inhibit my driving over the years

[open sigil]

i want a car with a 360 cam

and integrated dashcam

[neat isle]

I like EyeSight

[languid jay]

Now those look cool with the 360 cam

[neat isle]

Mainly use it for CC on highway

so nice

Auto distance and speed

[open sigil]

my moms car has smart cruise control + lane keep, both working together is basically autopilot

i wish i had those features

[neat isle]

I think it has lane assist but I dont know how to enable it

[languid jay]

I used smart cruise control with the 2019 Subaru Legacy that I drove for a bit and it was cool

[open sigil]

smart cruise control is amazing for traffic

[neat isle]

I know someone with a Highlander, it will basically drive itself as long as there is one hand on the wheel

[open sigil]

no constantly gas brake gas brake

[neat isle]

mhm mhm

[open sigil]

the only systems my car has is blind spot and forward collision

my friends accord is pretty cool, shows road signs and live distance to front car for smart cruise

but also doesn’t have individual tire sensors nor blind spot

[languid jay]

I wish I had individual tire sensors

[neat isle]

theres so much I havent used yet with my moms car

[neat isle]

Remember to keep them at 100%!

[languid jay]

Oh fuck me lol

[open sigil]

and don’t let this happen to you

[neat isle]

nailed it

[open sigil]

it was weird, no punctures or anything

front left just refused to take in any air

every time i tried, air would come out

[neat isle]

maybe it came off the rim a little

Spray with soapy water and inflate, watch for bubbles

[open sigil]

i’m guessing the air machine at the gas station was faulty

bc i took it to americas tire and they filled it up and it’s been fine since

[languid jay]

Heh that happened to me aswell

[open sigil]

they said they saw nothing wrong with it

[languid jay]

That is why I now lug this around in my car

[open sigil]

that’s a great investment

[languid jay]

Parents got this for me since my old tire compressor failed on me

[open sigil]

but americas tire fill your tires for free, i haven’t had the best experience trying to inflate my own tires 😂

[languid jay]

It charges my phone, has a LED light, air compressor that you set and it turns off when done, and jumps your car

[open sigil]

they inflated mine to 37 psi which is great

i was running 31-32 before, “recommended” is 33

[languid jay]

All you need to do is every month charge it

Oh and it can "test" your alternator

[open sigil]

speaking of tires, next year i will probably upgrade mine

[languid jay]

All I needed was an air compressor lol

[neat isle]

also speaking of that CG, might not wanna try jumping other cars from yours, I have heard Subaru alternators are not quite strong enough for it

[languid jay]

Huh will ask that to my mechanic or the dealership down here

If my car is capable of doing that

[open sigil]

if anyone asks me for a jump i’m telling them it’s a hybrid and the battery is under the seats 😂

[languid jay]

Hahahaha

[open sigil]

sorry but i don’t wanna fiddle with anything 🤷🏽‍♂️

someone else who knows better will come along

[languid jay]

I can let them use this tbh

I just leave it in my car in the passenger footwell

[open sigil]

also @languid jay , dont buy the dashcam rn

bc even tho at the list price of $160, they offer a 15 dollar coupon

so now its actually more expensive even though the price has dropped

[languid jay]

The price was $169

Lol

[open sigil]

oh nevermind then

[languid jay]

Wait

It's only $3 $2 cheaper rn

Lol

We both can't math rn

Lol

[open sigil]

🤣

i got mine at $145, bt im pretty sure i got a coupon on amazon

[languid jay]

I am thinking there is going to another drop here soon

Cuz someone in CA has it for $133

Is that you Sadat?

Lol

[open sigil]

i wish

this was the golden price

[languid jay]

Ikr

[open sigil]

this was when i bought it

ah i didnt have a coupon i was remembering it wrong then

[languid jay]

I should've bought it when it was on sale for $133

I still hate myself for that

I was going to buy it the next day thooo

[open sigil]

😂

just sign up for some price notifs

i think chrome has it built in

[languid jay]

Yeah I got honey rn doing that for me rn

My bank also closed for a system upgrade so I couldn't check balances

For like 4 days

[open sigil]

think over the summer i will get a hardwire kit for my cam and also redo my tint

[languid jay]

I was the first one in my immediate family to have tint

It is good lookin'

[open sigil]

my 5% is too dark

gonna take that off and go 15 all around

my car came with it

[languid jay]

I honestly don't know what kind of tint I have tbh

Everything but the windshield is tinted

[languid jay]

Hmmm I wonder if tint on the windshield is legal in Indiana

Damn

That is to dark

[open sigil]

😆

the camera makes it look like just black but you can see out of it

just not very convenient at night

[languid jay]

Do you have a place to do it at?

Or do it yourself?

[open sigil]

Oh lol nah im taking it to a tint shop to get it done properly

id never attempt to tint myself

[languid jay]

It's a fair question

[open sigil]

and i have that big ass sticker on my front window

[languid jay]

What big ass sticker?

[open sigil]

these stickers

prop 65 warning

because california

[languid jay]

Why do you have that?

Oh for fucks sake

[open sigil]

because california 🤣

[languid jay]

That is so annoying

[open sigil]

that sticker has probably been on the car since it was manufactured, dont wanna attempt to remove it myself

it legit sometimes blocks my vision of other cars

its so annoying

[languid jay]

Wait is that supposed to be on every car in California?

[open sigil]

i think so

[languid jay]

BRUHHHH

[open sigil]

i believe every car sold will have it on

[languid jay]

Like can you take it off?

[open sigil]

yes

if you want to tint your front window you have to remove it

[languid jay]

Okay in the new cars but you don't have to have it to drive around legally

Okay I thought California would flop bc of this shit

[open sigil]

to be sold in california the car has to have that sticker on it

at least from a dealership

but there is nothing stopping you from just taking it off when the car is yours

[languid jay]

It honestly would be something California would do, make drivers have that damn sticker on the window to be able to drive around

[open sigil]

you dont have to keep it on, it just has to be on the car before it is sold

[languid jay]

Yeah I know

[open sigil]

its a dumb sticker and its freaking huge

[languid jay]

But California is California and they can do whatever they want and have ads on people's cars if they want to

It's just a joke

[open sigil]

this is our ad

[languid jay]

Oh gawd

[open sigil]

i wonder why ferarri an italian brand named their car california

but then theres also the chevy monte carlo

[open sigil]

regen braking?

[proud tulip]

wat is that. a Tesla?

[open sigil]

looks like a polestar

[proud tulip]

how can you tell? 😂

[open sigil]

tip of the logo on the steering wheel

and the dash

[proud tulip]

Bruh its just the tip of a logo 😂 it could be literally anything smh

[open sigil]

nah

very distinct logo

and you can tell from the vid its an ev, a little bit of the logo, bam polestar

[river bone]

Ye polestar 2

And indeed regen braking. Aint used the brakepads in weeks

[open sigil]

how was it getting used to regen braking? easy or what

[river bone]

Very easy

[open sigil]

do you know if regen braking will trigger brake lights?

i think on a tesla it won’t until a certain threshold

[river bone]

Tho in a tesla its different. If they have 90% or more charge regen braking is less so kind of unreliable

Ye it does trigger lights if decel is above a threshhold

Do have to say the auto lane keeping in polestar is a bit left right bouncy

[open sigil]

that’s just the car trying to behave like a human 😂

[river bone]

Its AI comming alive

[open sigil]

polestars are cool

they just revealed a new one right?

there was a big event at my local polestar dealership

[river bone]

The 3 yeah

[open sigil]

anything volvo is just

[river bone]

I mean the 3 really is just a volvo xc40

[open sigil]

i like the 2 and 3

dont like the 1 at all

[river bone]

Where the 2 is on the same platform n stuff

[open sigil]

do you have the single or dual motor?

[river bone]

Dual motor long range with performance SW

[open sigil]

ahhh

must be pretty quick 👀

[river bone]

On winter tires with trunk full of tools

[open sigil]

jeez

thats very quick

[river bone]

Tops out at 210

😂

Gets there stupid fast

[languid jay]

Well sadat it looks like it's sitting at $152

dang it

[open sigil]

that wouldnt bother me tbh, just that instant torque to be able to merge quickly or pass someone is great

[open sigil]

[languid jay]

ikr

[open sigil]

an electric car would be so convenient for me. every parking lot at my school has a ton of free chargers

and HOV lane access, but i could get that with a plug in hybrid too

if i could go back in time id get a plugin

[languid jay]

It's just went back up to 169

no coupon

[proud tulip]

[proud tulip]

It aint gonna get any lower bud

Might as well just get it

[simple bear]

Should've pulled the trigger at $150

[languid jay]

yeah but I am dumb af

[simple bear]

I am too but I still would've pulled the trigger

[languid jay]

we will see when it gets lower again

[proud tulip]

And if it doesnt?

[languid jay]

Well idk

[open sigil]

it’s back down

but 153

[languid jay]

omg

[open sigil]

Lol must suck for you rn

take the risk of it going back down or going back up

but it’s at that middle point right now

[languid jay]

ikr It does suck for me

[languid jay]

Honestly I am debating paying a $20 difference

[languid jay]

I am going to wait till tomorrow night if it drops cool

if it stays the same cool

if it increases fuck

[proud tulip]

Lmaooo

Inb4 it increases again

[open sigil]

@languid jay this graph says a sale today 🤔

but dont take it as facts

just a random tracker i found online

nevermind

[languid jay]

lol was it for a different thing?

[open sigil]

the chart isnt even updated for today even though it says price updated 2 min ago

nah the site is just not trustworthy based on the data

[open sigil]

underrated feature

impossible to lock keys inside the car

[languid jay]

I wish

[open sigil]

happened to one of my friends, keys in backpack, backpack into trunk

he had to get a ride home that day

[languid jay]

I keep my keys visible to me always bc If not then I will forget about it

Question

Do Cali drivers know how to drive in the rain?

[open sigil]

hmmm

the past 3-4 months we have gotten the most rain in many decades

i didnt notice anything unusual

most people drove slower and kept more distance, but there were still the oddballs speeding like the weather was completely clear

but the real test of rain driving had to be up north where there were literal parts of the highway completely submerged

[languid jay]

Ah okay.... In the Midwest we always think that the oddballs are from Cali or a desert place and they don't know how to dive with 1/16th of water on the ground

[open sigil]

id say most people can drive properly in the rain, the roads are designed with those little grooves in them to spray water away to prevent hydroplaning. its just like driving normally, just slower and farther away. but i think more than half of people (including me) would absolutely crash out in the snow 🤣

[proud tulip]

better question: Do Cali drivers know how to drive at all

[open sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-drivers-license-gif-7626540

[languid jay]

Lol

I can drive very safely in my Subaru in da snow

Never had it spin out on me

[frosty snow]

Only to the organic restaurant to pick up a low fat soy beverage

[proud tulip]

Fair enough 🤣

[open sigil]

CORVETTE SUV???

WHY

[neat isle]

Whyyy

Just make it Chevy

that’s like the mustang SUVs

just a solid NOPE

[open sigil]

they shouldve taken the camaro instead

corvette is sacred

[neat isle]

Mhm

Next thing is gonna be an E-corvette

No more 7.0L V8

[open sigil]

i mean theres the corvette e-ray

but that thing is actually amazing

495 hp from a NA v8, + 160 hp from electric motors

awd, 2.5s 0-60

with all the glorious v8 sounds

[frosty snow]

ikr

[frosty snow]

the mach E on their 17 in rims 😂

[proud tulip]

You mean the E ray that went up in flames? 🤣

[open sigil]

shhhh

it was just a prototype car

good thing that one caught fire instead of a production model

[neat isle]

Hybrid is fine as long as the OG is still around

[proud tulip]

Doesnt give me much faith in the production models tho

[open sigil]

i mean its a prototype for a reason

im sure every prototype car has had some issues with it

[neat isle]

The first rear-engine Vette kept shattering the rear window

[proud tulip]

Boi what you mean. Look at all the Tesla production vehicles and the issues they have 🤣🤣

But hurdur Mah EV is the futureee

[open sigil]

no car is perfect

you wanna talk about the recalls and issues on civics? 🤣

[proud tulip]

Lmaoooo 🤣🤣.

No bcz i already know 🤣

[open sigil]

at least on a tesla all they do is push out a software update

[proud tulip]

But like

Those can break things even more tho 🤣

[open sigil]

they usually dont

teslas receive fairly frequent updates

and each update doesnt necessarily fix a major issue, its just good to keep it up to date

[languid jay]

And then you have to have security software scan itself lol

[proud tulip]

I hate that gas is 3.79$ here

[open sigil]

that’s cheap

[proud tulip]

Not reallyyy

When i first started driving it was like 3$ or something like that..

It declined a little while ago back to 2.70

[languid jay]

Sadat I am about to do the thing

[proud tulip]

You better 🤣🤣

[languid jay]

Fack waiting around

[proud tulip]

poor exit design or just bad drivers 🤔

probably a mix of both

[languid jay]

Oh I have seen this

HAHA

[open sigil]

if that many people crash there all the blame cant be on them

[languid jay]

Dude just has it there just for these videos

[open sigil]

LOL

[neat isle]

its both

ive seen this one before

[open sigil]

looks like its a direct exit into a sharp right turn

[neat isle]

it's a sharp curved exit but there are plennnty of signs

[open sigil]

who thought that was a good idea

[neat isle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

west coast gonna west coast

[open sigil]

thats so scary though

theyre riding those walls at highway speeds, and when they come out parts of the wall are sticking out so they go headfirst into something that will stop them in their tracks

they need to put like flashing lights everywhere on that exit

and some rumble strips

[neat isle]

There are

Idiots ignore it

[open sigil]

this exit on 57 north

is so damn fun

it doesn’t look it but it’s a single lane that is WIIIIIDE

best part about driving home is this exit

Not something you dont usually hear people brag about every day, I at the age of 16 own my own brand new 2023 8x5 box trailer with a 1.5m ramp back, 600mm cage, spare wheel and wheel holder, front push mower box with ramp, all mine, 3k aud, gonna make my mowing business so much easier 🤩🤩

I get to drive 1 hour and 15 min to pick it up tomorrow and drive back with it, a good 2.5-3 hours of driving towards my learners licence, woo hoo!

[proud tulip]

Pulling trailers isnt as easy as you may think btw. I do hope your having your dad or someone help?

Id have a Jeep or a Truck just for that purpose lmao

[open sigil]

just put a bed mod on your civic

[simple bear]

Truck better. Heavier frame

So like F150/Silverado 1500/RAM 1500, but if you're getting a RAM, get the one with the HEMI

[open sigil]

tacoma>

will outlast any ford or gm product

and fca

tacoma is just the goat truck

[simple bear]

Oh, and Toyota

Tundra is also good

[proud tulip]

Shush up. How about you bed mod and LS swap your Nissan

[proud tulip]

Well duhhh. Why would i get a truck and not get a ridicolous engine too

Shit should just get a Ridgeline then at that point

[open sigil]

Oh god thats terrifying lmao

[gentle nebula]

My dad has a pajero sport 2018 model, great car, I'll be getting something like an early 2010 pajero, rodeo, hilux or similar, I'll be getting a manual 4x4 diesel

[gentle nebula]

^^^^

[tough torrent]

You need to look at the towing capacity weight on the Tacoma and compare it to a Ford or Chevy, lol. There is a resson you see more American trucks towing.

[languid jay]

It's out for delivery!!!

[gentle nebula]

I live in Australia lol hence why I said pajero, rodeo or hilux, not Chevy, Ford, gmc, Tacoma etc etc

[gentle nebula]

What is??

[languid jay]

My new Dash Cam for my car

And my new gaming headphones

[gentle nebula]

Nice!

I get to drive about 1.5hrs to get my trailer and drive 1.5hra back 😂

[tough torrent]

The Pajero towing capacity is 5,000 lbs., Hilux towing capacity is up to 3,500lbs (3500kg). Sadat was saying the Tacoma is a goat truck. There are limited on towing.

[proud tulip]

😂 the Hilux would barely be able to tow my Civic on a trailer then

😂

my Civic is 2500lbs 😂

[tough torrent]

You also have to add trailer weight on top of the Civic weight as well don't forget to calculate the tongue weight.

[proud tulip]

actually wait... its between 2339 and 2612lbs more accurately lol

[proud tulip]

Theres no way the Hilux could tow the Civic on a trailer 🤣

[tough torrent]

I'm sure it can tow the civic as long the trailer have brakes system.

[proud tulip]

perhapssss lol

depends on weight of the trailer tho

and what kind of trailer it is

[tough torrent]

true but just a simple open flatbed trailer. It can tow it. For an enclosed race trailer no

[proud tulip]

ahhh lol

its still crazy that my Civic is that heavy tho

[tough torrent]

Start replacing the interior and exterior pieces with carbon fiber, lol

[proud tulip]

nahhhhhh 😂

just strip the interior completly

who needs an interior anyways

not meeee

[tough torrent]

your future wife

[proud tulip]

She hates the car already 😂

in fact she wants me to sell it

[tough torrent]

good then sell it

[proud tulip]

which im thinking of doing. its eating oil like crazy

and i dont have the time or money to figure out the true cause

If i had to guess, its either burning it off

or leaking

[tough torrent]

I was like why my front montion sensor going off like crazy. It was the landscape people cutting my lawn, lol

[proud tulip]

🤣

you dont cut your own lawn?

[tough torrent]

I pay some one because my wife don't want me to cut it because she said I'm old to be cutting the lawn

[proud tulip]

Ahhh thats fair lol

[tough torrent]

plus I have a toddler in the house so it's just less thing I don't need to worry about like the lawn

[proud tulip]

fair lol

Time for me to start my weekend. Need to stop at the post office on the way home first.

@open sigil

[open sigil]

👀

[languid jay]

Might install tonight

[languid jay]

@open sigil what are the windshield static stickers for?

[open sigil]

i think for cases where you need to easily take the camera off and move to another car

like for rental companies, so the camera is easier to swap around bc it’s not on the windshield

[languid jay]

Did you use them for yours?

[open sigil]

nope

[languid jay]

Kk

[open sigil]

it’s not as strong as directly applying

[languid jay]

Thx

[open sigil]

👍🏽

[languid jay]

Okay the CPL filter does block some of the glare

Video tomorrow night Sadat

[open sigil]

[gentle nebula]

It will be fine, if it has a tow hitch and can pull a trailer, than it has a tow hitch and can pull my trailer 😂😂

[proud tulip]

Lol

[open sigil]

😏

[open sigil]

everythings chill until i hear those beeps

[proud tulip]

Beep boop beep

Shit would get on my nerves tho

[open sigil]

very rarely happens

most people are smart enough to brake gradually instead of at the last second and spook everyone behind them

[proud tulip]

if only that could be said about Michigan drivers 🤣

Fuckers here will just cut off a semitruck. No problem

[open sigil]

Lol i try and stay out of the way of trucks

their brakes need a lot of stopping distance

[open sigil]

it doesnt get on my nerves but when im already slowing down and i hear it my heart starts to race lmao

like damn car really thought i was boutta crash

cuz you learn to associate that sound with a collision warning

[proud tulip]

Easy fix

Drive old cars

[open sigil]

like yours that chugs oil? 🤣

[proud tulip]

Yes

Im pretty sure theres a leak actually. Bcz if shes got full oil its 2 months before i gotta add any 🤔

I just dont know where itd be

[languid jay]

Ez drive my car

[proud tulip]

How old is it CoolGuy?

[languid jay]

2015

About 8 years old

[proud tulip]

Bruh that aint old Smh

[languid jay]

6 years with me

[proud tulip]

Old is early 2000s buddy

Ya know. Pre Touchscreen/bluetooth radios

[languid jay]

Eh

Yours is like a grandpa mine is more like an 50 year old

🤣

[neat isle]

2003 :)

[open sigil]

then mine is like a millenial

[proud tulip]

Lol yes exactly

[proud tulip]

Basically

[proud tulip]

Mines only 23 years old 🤣. It aint that old yet

Tho tech wise it is

[open sigil]

the fanciest thing on that car is probably traction control

[proud tulip]

Uhhhhh i dont even actually have that im pretty sure 🤣 at least i havent seen a button for it

[open sigil]

abs? 😂

[proud tulip]

Nope 🤣

[languid jay]

LOL

ffs

[proud tulip]

Not on this one

Some Civics had ABS tho

Was optional back then apparently

[languid jay]

He has to pump the brakes for his ABS

🤣

[open sigil]

i couldnt imagine driving without abs or tc

[proud tulip]

Its calles Git Gud

[open sigil]

its also called skid across the road if someone brake checks you

[proud tulip]

Its called slow down before that lmao

[open sigil]

at least in my racing games i disable tc and abs

[proud tulip]

Goood

Now do it IRL

[languid jay]

Bruhhh

[open sigil]

i dont think i can even disable them

[languid jay]

Do you want me to crash my car?

I can disable them

[open sigil]

the only thing i can turn off is chassis control and brake assist

[proud tulip]

Drive with out them on open roads

Too easy to live with technology sometimes. Its nice driving my car that doesnt have all of the fancy tech

Only modern thing i got is the aftermarket bluetooth radio we installed 🤣

[open sigil]

curvy roads are a blast with active trace control on my car

applies brake assist to counteract understeer

[proud tulip]

More fun without them xD

[open sigil]

fwd car is an understeer machine

no thanks

[proud tulip]

Ahhhh i was absouletly right

The 98-00 Civic doesnt have traction control 🤣

[proud tulip]

Git Gud

Shit actually. I dont even think the SI has it either

[simple bear]

Seal around the oil pan probably

[neat isle]

Being burnt away

[proud tulip]

Perhaps. Either that or the PCV valve or Oil Filter leaking

Orrrrr somewhere on the engine itself 😬

Im hoping its the PCV Valve or Oil Filter tho 😬

[frosty snow]

Cops can’t park 🥲

Oh and doing a self serve car wash on Monday hopefully.... I just need a lot of quarters

[frosty snow]

[gentle nebula]

I forgot to do it way earlier today, about 10 hours ago lol

But

I GOT MY TRAILER!!!!!!

[tough torrent]

Do you see oil drops on the ground after parking? If no then do you see blue or blue/grey smoke out of the exhaust while driving or idling, if so. Piston ring or valve seals
