Just Cars?

[tough torrent]

Try parking on the far back side of a empty parking lot and some random person decided to park next to you. This gets me mad out off the empty parking spot. Every time I use to take out my race modified JDM/USDM Integra back in the day.

[open sigil]

i park next to fancy cars so if there’s a thief they’ll go to their car instead 😂

or a tesla because those are very commonly broken into. seen it way too much, thief smashes the small window in the rear and unlatches the seats and trunk

[proud tulip]

inb4 they goto both cars

[open sigil]

at least they will go into the tesla first 😂 gives me more time

[tough torrent]

The purpose on parking in the far back of the parking lot is due to door dings and to protect the rest of the body with any damage (usually it’s always hit and run)

[proud tulip]

hard to say. i think its Oil but it could also be transmission fluid. i really need to get a nice plain white cardboard box or something to put under my car so i can tell what color it is :P

no smoke tho

sooo i dont believe shes burning oil

at least i dont think so anyway

[tough torrent]

Look in the engine bay top, bottom of motor and exhaust pipe for any sign of oil

You can smell what time of oil on the ground

If it’s trans oil check the drain hole since I believe your civic don’t have a trans pan. Also could be the front main or rear main seal is leaking

[open sigil]

how many miatas can you spot

[proud tulip]

it really could just be a great many of things lol

[proud tulip]

ALOT

[open sigil]

turbo: Yes

[tough torrent]

WTF why there Arabic writing? These are not Arabs. Maybe Cyprus North due to the roofing.

brabus 😵

the uae plate is crazy though

they def own like half the oil reserves in the world 😂

[tough torrent]

The UAE #1 plate was sold to Saeed Abdul Ghafour Khouri for $14.3million USD. Actually the left number is not 7 it’s actually a 5 on the real plate.

[simple bear]

My phone lags when I scroll past the pictures

[proud tulip]

My phone gets mad trying to load them at first lmao

[jaunty sequoia]

I wonder why this tire leaks 🤔🤔

[open sigil]

🥱

[proud tulip]

Hmmmmm i wonderrrrr

[open sigil]

these 3 have no paint 😵‍💫

it’s just carbon

[simple bear]

Hush

I've restarted the app a few times and it still does the same thing

[wise mirage]

[simple bear]

It is

#HondaProblems

[proud tulip]

Not all Hondas leak sirrrr

[languid jay]

The front is more than 100MB

@open sigil

[simple bear]

Sure they don't 🤣

[proud tulip]

They dont tho lmao

Most burn oil off instead 🤣

I had a feeling it was a leak tho ngl.

Theres no smoke indicating shes burning the oil

[open sigil]

that 1440p60 👀

[proud tulip]

So

New update regarding the leak

The oil pan on the outside is extremely wet with oil. So its something in that area somewhere thats causing it

Could be the seal or could be the filter

[open sigil]

get rid of it and buy a crv

dadmobile

[proud tulip]

Lmaooo my fiancee wants a HRV funnily enough

I want an Accord

[open sigil]

listen to the missus

[neat isle]

I have a rough idea of where that is lol

don’t worry not gonna say it

[open sigil]

become one with the crossover

[proud tulip]

But Accord go zoom

[open sigil]

only the v6

[proud tulip]

Stilll

It go zoooom

Althoughhhh

[open sigil]

if it’s anything like your civic it’ll also go glub glub glub eeeeeeeerrrrrrr

[proud tulip]

😂

My civic doesnt go glub glub glub eeeeeeer 🤣

[open sigil]

that’s the sound of an oil leak

[proud tulip]

Lol

[open sigil]

[neat isle]

I need to get myself a car

Hmmmm

[open sigil]

i recommend a pagani huayra as your first car

[neat isle]

bruh

I don’t need to be going that fast

That’s irresponsible

[open sigil]

corolla hatchback

[proud tulip]

Not if i take care of the oil issues sirrrr

[open sigil]

the things i would do for a corolla hatchback

if i could go back in time i’d get one

[neat isle]

I like Subarus hehe

[proud tulip]

Subarus are nice

[neat isle]

I don’t wanna touch ford/VW/Chevy just bc maintenance

Toyota is also good

[open sigil]

you’re still gonna be paying for maintenance 😂

with any car

[neat isle]

Well

Less

[proud tulip]

Go with Honda

[open sigil]

i have one more oil change until it’s gonna cost 70 bucks each

[proud tulip]

Jesus christ Sadat

[neat isle]

I don’t trust Honda for safety reasons

[proud tulip]

Why so expensive?

[open sigil]

because california

[proud tulip]

How come?

[proud tulip]

Git rekt nerddd

[neat isle]

Mainly the fact that the airbags that throw shrapnel keep being replaced with other airbags that throw shrapnel

[open sigil]

Tbh honda toyota etc.. just test drive and get fully inspected. pick whatever one is best

[languid jay]

Ikr

[neat isle]

Our Honda we had got like 4 recalls for the airbags, and then the engine or transmission died

I know I’m picky but whatever

[open sigil]

corolla hatch

goat car

[neat isle]

I don’t hate that

[open sigil]

i love them so much

[open sigil]

probably my favorite toyota

they’re beautiful, ride comfortably, and great on gas

and plus everyone loves a good hatchback

[neat isle]

ideal

(Ford used to be good, huh.)

[open sigil]

i don’t hate em

it’s reliable if you take care of it

i’m sure half the f150s i see have over 150k miles on them

[neat isle]

Most trucks I see are almost brand new

Also 150k pssshhhh

[proud tulip]

Aint gotta worry about airbags if ya dont get in an accident :3

[neat isle]

I trust myself, not others.

[open sigil]

nah. the people that use them as work trucks have definitely put a good amount of miles on them

[neat isle]

Yeah but 150 that’s it heh

[proud tulip]

Thats why you be cautious

[open sigil]

150k is roughly 13 years of driving

13 years of driving is reliable i’d say, even more so if that metric is within a smaller time frame

[neat isle]

Try 21 years

Or 24 like Spartan

[simple bear]

The explorer is at almost 200K miles after 20 years OTR

[neat isle]

My grandpa has a 1995 Chrysler lebaron but idk how many miles

He doesn’t drive it often except in the summer

[open sigil]

yeah but who is driving the same car 24 years straight 😂

[simple bear]

It's also rocking its original spare too. Which it's currently on

[open sigil]

that’s not very safe

[neat isle]

@proud tulip isn’t yours a ‘99

[neat isle]

People

[simple bear]

I know

[open sigil]

not most people drive the same car consistently for that long

[neat isle]

No but some do

[open sigil]

very rare cases you see that, like that truck you posted

[neat isle]

If it works it works

[open sigil]

i’m driving my current car until i graduate then hopping into something better

[neat isle]

That was like 9y but was a company truck

[simple bear]

After 20 years, the explorer is starting to show her age

[open sigil]

it’s been showing it’s age

😂

[simple bear]

Rusty and falling apart

[open sigil]

2026 or 2027 i’ll hop into a 330i or a used lexus

got this current car to get me through college and then upgrade as a graduation gift

[simple bear]

I'm looking at a car to get for myself. It's already been decided I'm not getting the explorer because there's way too many issues with it

And it's unlikely that it'll pass inspection

[neat isle]

I’ll probably get an older sedan

Or my dads car if he needs to get something better

[simple bear]

I know Japanese cars are perfect for me because they're really good on gas

Think I'll do a Spartan and get a Civic 🤣

[neat isle]

I would honestly drive a Prius

Just because cheaper and MPG

[proud tulip]

2000 lol

Its a year older than i am xD

[neat isle]

My older brother had a 2000 Accord but it had stuff wrong with it eventually and needed more money than it was worth

[simple bear]

If I can find one that isn't rusted to shit

[proud tulip]

Civics aint bad as long as you get one that was properly maintained lmao

[proud tulip]

Good luck lol

[proud tulip]

Thats where mine is slowly getting to

[neat isle]

And if not driven like crazy by a college student

[proud tulip]

That too lmao

[open sigil]

8th gen civic or above to avoid the major problems

[simple bear]

What year is 8th gen

[proud tulip]

2007-2008

[open sigil]

2005 and later

wait no

2012 i think

[proud tulip]

Noooo 8th gen isnt 2005 lol

Hold on

[open sigil]

2007 is right

[proud tulip]

2005-2012

[simple bear]

05-12

[languid jay]

Thx @open sigil for the dash cam recommendation

[open sigil]

just get something relatively modern lmao y’all swear by your old cars until you have a ton of small issues

[proud tulip]

2005 is the one that looks more like a 2001-04

[open sigil]

👍🏽

[proud tulip]

Meh

[simple bear]

I'm definitely gonna get that one when I get my car too @open sigil

[proud tulip]

Wouldnt have them if people would maintain their fucking cars consistently

[open sigil]

even if you maintain it, something will go wrong

sure newer cars have more failure points but in turn the tech also makes them more reliable

[proud tulip]

Ehhhh

[open sigil]

it’s not like cars get worse over time

unless you are mitsubishi

then you do

💀

[proud tulip]

Ya know what

Imma just get a 90s RSX

Or an Eclipse

[open sigil]

you just want to suffer don’t you 😂

[proud tulip]

😂no i just wanna live out my tuner dreams

Leave me alone 🤣

[simple bear]

I just want to be able to use my phone to listen to music

[proud tulip]

Bluetooth radios are good for that

Easier to deal with than an aux cable thats for sure

[open sigil]

like any car past 2005-6 will have bluetooth

[proud tulip]

Mines a 2000 and has a bluetooth radio bcz 🌟 aftermarket🌟

[open sigil]

does it get static ?

[proud tulip]

Static? 🤔.

[open sigil]

i heard a lot of bluetooth radios have issues with static

sound of static

[proud tulip]

Uhhhh i havent really heard much static

[open sigil]

i love my carplay

wouldn’t drive a car without it

i don’t even charge my phone at home anymore cuz i got carplay

[proud tulip]

If they do get static its probably due to wiring issues or something with the speakers

Bcz most people cant wire things properly to save their lives 🤣🤣

Thankfully my father in law is good with all the stuff

[simple bear]

iPhone users hate how Android Auto looks in cars but I think they're very similar

[open sigil]

they are literally the same thing

who said they hate it 😂

[proud tulip]

😂

Iphone users probably

[simple bear]

Exactly

It's basically the exact same UI

[open sigil]

iphone users say a lot of things according to android users

🤔

install google maps and spotify and they are equal to eachother

i’d say apple carplay is worse because of apple maps but that can just be fixed by installing google maps

[proud tulip]

And Android users say a lot of things according to Iphone users. Whats the point?

[simple bear]

I prefer Google maps anyway

[proud tulip]

I use Waze

[open sigil]

no y’all just paint out them to be evil ultimate android haters 😂

[proud tulip]

Bcz 🌟 police locations🌟

[open sigil]

apple maps has speed check warnings so i have no use for waze

and if you really care about it you’re 1000x better off with a radar detector

[proud tulip]

I aint paying 400$ or more for a radar detector sir 🤣

[simple bear]

Oh yeah, I'mma get a radar detector too

I don't wanna be caught in 480p speeding

[open sigil]

it’s useless for most people

you’re not some speed racer f1 driver

[simple bear]

I suppose I'll forget to turn the volume back up on it

[proud tulip]

Theres an easy way to avoid tickets

Its called pay attention to your surroundings 🤣

And dont drive like your a racecar driver ofc

[simple bear]

I'd mainly have to worry about the cops driving around at 1:00AM

[proud tulip]

I dont see many out that late up here

But i have seen a few

Which makes me 10x more cautious seeing as uh. Theres less traffic at that point

Same with days i get off at 11pm

[open sigil]

who cares about cops just drive normally

?

[proud tulip]

Lmaoooo

Sadat i bet you speed like crazy smh

[open sigil]

never

🤫

[proud tulip]

Uh huh sure

[open sigil]

i speed enough to keep up with traffic

[proud tulip]

Just the fact that you own a Nissan Altima makes you guilty

[open sigil]

max ill go n a freeway is like 85

and thats late at night

[proud tulip]

Uhm sir

Arent freeways in Cali 65

Smh

20 over is a very expensive ticket from what ive heard

[open sigil]

you cant be going 65 when everyone else is goinmg 85

[simple bear]

55 in Cali according to ATS

55 and 65

[proud tulip]

Fucking yikessss 😳

[open sigil]

thats just a suggestion no one goes 65

usually its around 80

[proud tulip]

Tho ngl i feel that Sadat. Construction zone i go through everyday. Speed limit is 60:
Actual speed: 70 or higher

Speed kills

[open sigil]

so does being slow

🤣

[simple bear]

Pennsylvania:

Pennsylvania doesn't care lmao

[open sigil]

daytime 80-85 in left/hov

nighttime: get creative

[proud tulip]

Not really lmao

[open sigil]

it definitely can

speeding is dangerous but going slow is also

[proud tulip]

How?

[open sigil]

if you are going way under the speed of traffic you are still a hazard

[tough torrent]

Motor oil from the color. I would degrease and power wash the engine if you can’t find the leak. It can be anything like valve gasket, drain plug, main seals, etc.

Also check the pan gasket

[proud tulip]

Im assuming its gonna be the seal on the oil pan or the oil filter most likely. Also is it safe to power wash the engine in this particular type of Civic? Lol

[tough torrent]

Yes. Just cover the battery terminal and alternator

[proud tulip]

Gotchaaaa lol. Just making sure. Dont wanna mess any of the electrical up

[languid jay]

Downloading new camera footage

@open sigil 1440p with 60 fps is a big file lol

Are you doing 30 or 60?

[open sigil]

1440p60 front 1080p30 rear

[languid jay]

Maybe I should go to 3 mins instead of 10 lol

[open sigil]

10????

[languid jay]

Yeah

[open sigil]

i just left on default 3 lmao

[languid jay]

And you can do 1440 p just fine yes?

[open sigil]

yea

[languid jay]

On mobile uploads yes?

[open sigil]

well mobile is a diff story

app downloads incredibly slow

[open sigil]

yea the app is extremely slow

[languid jay]

Ikr

[open sigil]

if you really need footage asap from your phone, screen recording is just faster

if i want to upload a clip i just put the sd card into the reader and plug into my pc

from mobile it takes like 5 min to download 3 min front clip

[languid jay]

Yeah but for some reason it stutters on my phone

[open sigil]

yea the app sucks

but everything else is great

better to take straight from sd card anyways

[languid jay]

Hmmm yeah

[open sigil]

the included sd card reader is clutch

i currently have no other way of reading a sd card so that is great

[languid jay]

Honestly where I put my dash cam is a place where it really not accessible to be taking the SD card out and in

[wise mirage]

Facts but I’m currently the avg N20 owner

Surprisingly the N20 Turbo is loud

[languid jay]

Nah I actually live in Indiana

[proud tulip]

Ahhhh see i thought so

I wonder if you and Beano have ever saw each other on the street and not actually realized it 🤔

[open sigil]

benefit of living in california it doesn’t matter if someone knows your city

[languid jay]

That is a good question

[proud tulip]

All cities are bad so 🤣

[open sigil]

that’s why i live in the suburbs

each suburb is basically a city cuz it’s so big

technically a county

[proud tulip]

True enough

[languid jay]

https://tenor.com/view/potholes-gif-9979680

[open sigil]

oh man

some freeways are horrible

especially at night, you cant exactly watch out for potholes and avoid them

[proud tulip]

Indeed lmao

[open sigil]

going 80mph 3 in a row i literally thought my car was about to fall apart

[proud tulip]

Add rain and it makes it worse

[languid jay]

https://tenor.com/view/cringe-eeee-gif-24636179

[open sigil]

imagine with bald tires

thats just a death sentence

[languid jay]

Me right after it sounds terrible

[open sigil]

dude and it was one after the other

[languid jay]

oh gawd

[open sigil]

1st one, its just 1 pothole theres gonna be no more
2nd, jeez thats bad, but that has to be the last one right?

3rd one. nerves on fire

[proud tulip]

We dont talk about that 😳

For reasons

[languid jay]

ingolf show us your tires

[proud tulip]

My tires are brand new now

But they werent back in March 🤣

[open sigil]

either the dealer or previous owner put new tires on, my tread is at about 80% of original

according to americas tire

penny test is mint

[proud tulip]

Thought it was supposed to be a quarter? 🤔

Not a penny?

[open sigil]

its a penny

[proud tulip]

Ah lol

Meh potato potato. They all do the same thing tbh

[open sigil]

i dont exactly know their scale but penny test my tires are almost new

i think for a penny its easier to gauge tread bc the coin itself is smaller, so more of the face side will go deeper

[proud tulip]

Do you not have a spare? 🤣

[open sigil]

i do

they just didn’t measure it

[proud tulip]

Ahhhh lol

That reminds me

I should get a full size spare for my car 😳

My donut is garbage. Probably still the original actually

I keep forgetting to do that

[open sigil]

what’s the benefit of a full size spare?

[languid jay]

Better gas mileage when you have to use it

[open sigil]

ah

i’m the type that will get a tire replaced asap

[languid jay]

Also you don't really have to go straight

It's recommened

but you can live off of it for a bit

[open sigil]

while i was driving my moms car

i don’t even know how

it’s like something took a bite out of the tire

and my luck

get a flat right by a tire shop 😂

and they were closed

[languid jay]

Was that today?

[open sigil]

no this was months ago

like august 2022

to this day i don’t know if it was tire failure or i ran over something

bc what kind of object could even make a hole like that

and deep enough to go through the whole tread

[languid jay]

huh

[open sigil]

this

what could have possibly made a hole like that

[tough torrent]

Speed rating and mileage is a huge factor

[tough torrent]

Look like it bulge out from a broken belt then just burst

[open sigil]

i was driving along and all of a sudden rear left starts dropping i was really just hoping it was a faulty sensor

[proud tulip]

Lasts longer than a typical donut 😂

Full size spare can last as long as necessary

like say you dont have the money to replace the tire rn

full size spare will cover you until you can :P

whereas a donut is only good for on average 30-50 miles apparently

[open sigil]

ah so the clapped out 2005 all black altima with 5 percent all around are actually on 4 full size spares

[proud tulip]

probably 😂

knowing those drivers. thats probably what it is

[open sigil]

the special is the car that looks like its brand new, but its on 4 spares

https://tenor.com/view/mad-gif-18310193

[proud tulip]

but yeah Full Size spares can be pretty clutch ngl from what i heard

i really should get one

[open sigil]

just keep a whole rim and tire in your trunk

ez

[proud tulip]

well duhhhh

i gotta get a rim and tire first smh

[open sigil]

i recommend some forged titanium 22s

verY affordable

[proud tulip]

sir

my car has 14's 😂

smol boi tires

for a smol boi car lol

[open sigil]

14s 👀

im on 19 lmao

also reminds me i need to clean my rims

i can draw a smiley face on them with my finger

[proud tulip]

I need to clean my car in general 😂

Bro. thats my entire car SMH 😂

[open sigil]

🤣

i keep my interior clean at all times

[proud tulip]

my interior is okayish

the carpets are beyond cleaning tho sadly

[open sigil]

just cover em up wioth some all weather mats

[proud tulip]

i have mats

but just knowing that my carpets are bad

irks me

[open sigil]

i need to get some all weather mats but theyre so expensive

[proud tulip]

as for my headliner 😬 theres nothing i can do for that

so many burn holes from the previous owner

[open sigil]

yuck

thats so bad

[proud tulip]

indeed

[open sigil]

like what if the car just lights on fire cuz ur too lazy to use an ashtray

[proud tulip]

wanna replace that too

but was told no

[open sigil]

hrv time

[proud tulip]

i literally am not allowed to replace anything else lol

[proud tulip]

whole life i thought it was just dirt or something

[simple bear]

... yeah

[proud tulip]

😂

[neat isle]

Well it’s that too

[proud tulip]

Really what it is. Is a combination of brake dust, dirt, as well as stuff coming from the tires as they wear down the tread i believe

[frosty snow]

Oh it’s for real, Ontario just had a publicity corvette thts it

[frosty snow]

Thankfully I have run flats on lease, didnt cost me extra but downside is that it’s heavy

Would go for pilot sports for summers though

[open sigil]

starting to look into some tint shops 👀

gonna get my front windows done finally

[frosty snow]

Yea I’m gonna do that for next car I plan to keep long term

Maybe a chameleon tint

But UV for sure

[open sigil]

i just need my fronts tinted

[frosty snow]

Rn I drive a fishbowl

[open sigil]

im driving a half fishbowl

rear 5% fronts have no tint 😂

[open sigil]

what do you guys think?

i was thinking to get the 2nd tier, ceramic film

still waiting for more quotes, this is the first shop to get back to me

[proud tulip]

dont do 5% tint tho

its way to hard to see out of

[open sigil]

ofc not

im getting 15 percent fronts

[proud tulip]

Nahhhh

20%

20% is usually overlooked by cops

[open sigil]

its gonna look so weird with my existing 5 😂

[proud tulip]

Get rid of the 5% 😂 thats way to dark

and illegal in California anyway

[open sigil]

its not

[proud tulip]

it most definitely is

[open sigil]

rear windows can be as dark as you want

thats the law

[proud tulip]

its still extremely unsafe

[open sigil]

to remove my existing tint will cost extra, plus a lot more to add more tint

i can live with my 5 percent rears

[proud tulip]

whatever

[open sigil]

around 200 dollars for just front
to remove will be extra fee + 400-500+ for all around tint

[proud tulip]

my car had 5% all the way around when we first bought it and it was FAR too dark

we stripped that shit off the very next morning

it was a DIY job anyway

[open sigil]

ok yeah 5 percent all around is wild

my tint isnt even that bad

[proud tulip]

fucking front windows had to be removed that night on the way back from Ohio

[neat isle]

remove it yourself

[proud tulip]

literally Beano 😂

[open sigil]

easier said than done

[neat isle]

peel

spray

wipe

:p

[open sigil]

and have all the residue?

[neat isle]

razor and soap/alc

[open sigil]

youd need a blowtorch and years of experience dealing with window films

[neat isle]

hairdryer

[open sigil]

this isnt some 20 dollar autozone tint

[neat isle]

ah

[open sigil]

🤣

[proud tulip]

nahhh its 40$ amazon tint

[open sigil]

not as bad as it seems

excuse my dirty car

good thing i don’t drive at night that much

[proud tulip]

exactly

[open sigil]

and even at night it’s not that bad

it’s livable

[proud tulip]

5% tint is 100% pointless 😂

[open sigil]

not when you have a quality film

when you have some cheap diy film, then yes

[proud tulip]

still pointless

you cant change my mind

[open sigil]

sun protection, privacy, cleaner look, etc

[proud tulip]

20% does the same thing tho

5% is for true edgelords

you literally cannot change my mind

i will die on this hill

[open sigil]

or for people that just want more protection

[proud tulip]

protection from what? theives?

if anything 5% makes you more of a target

[open sigil]

i just said sun protection 😂

[proud tulip]

Sun protection is pointless

[open sigil]

yes because uv rays will never do you any harm

[proud tulip]

your interior is gonna get fucked regardless. its how it goes.

[open sigil]

its not about the interior

[proud tulip]

do you really think I

[open sigil]

its about your damn skin 😂

[proud tulip]

a factory worker care about my skin?

we all die regardless so 😂

[neat isle]

heres the thing

[proud tulip]

who cares about skin

[neat isle]

in Michigan, it doesnt matter nearly as much as CA

CA has wayyyy more and stronger sun year round

[open sigil]

yep

[proud tulip]

doesnt matter to me much regardless

i just think 5% makes 0 sense

it makes you more of a target for Police too

just sayin

[open sigil]

police cant pull you over for something that is legal

[neat isle]

pshh

shouldnt is the right word

[proud tulip]

^

Police still do anyway

[open sigil]

well good thing i know my rights

[proud tulip]

especially if the car looks suspicious 🤔

just like smoked taillights and headlights

[open sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/lawyer-mike-i-invoke-the-fifth-5th-i-want-to-talk-to-a-lawyer-gif-24149446

[proud tulip]

also illegal

[neat isle]

that also makes you look sus... theyll find reasons

[proud tulip]

Indeed

you say that

[neat isle]

not saying youre bad btw

[proud tulip]

they will find a reason to search your car

[neat isle]

youre totally right sadat

[open sigil]

good thing theres literally nothing in my car

[neat isle]

some are just not right

theres a steering wheel

and maybe a seat

and carpet

and a human

[open sigil]

unless i did something illegal, no cop has any reason to pull me over

they are not above the law

you can tint your car to the max that is allowed under the law

and you really need to understand the state youre in. very rare to get pulled over for tint in california unless you have windshield tint

i cant speak for other states, but in the one ive lived for my entire life i can

[proud tulip]

pretty sure windshield tints illegal everywhere

[open sigil]

if you are acting obnoxious with a loud car, they will use tint as an excuse to pull you over

but for 99% of people with dark tint they will not do anything

[neat isle]

top few inches depending on state

[languid jay]

Meanwhile I still don't know what kind of tint I have on my car

I want windshield tint tbh

[proud tulip]

i should do a strip across the top actually

[open sigil]

@languid jay howd the installation go?

that cable management 👀

[languid jay]

Soo there is some spots where you can tell it's there

bc of the wire flexibility and just the nature of the car

Overall you can barely see it at all

I will post a video Monday night

[open sigil]

did you use the trim puller?

[languid jay]

Yeah my gf was helping me and pulled the side wall down and it was loose for a lil bit but it's now staying

There is a very tight turn in the back of the car that the back camera needs to make to be able to tuck all of the wires into the trunk

[open sigil]

my cable management for it is top notch

[languid jay]

Hmmm

Doubt

[open sigil]

the only place you can see a wire is the small gap on the B pillar where the floor trim separates

nah it is

im so proud of it

[languid jay]

Mine is pretty good tbh

[tough torrent]

The darker the tint film. More heat is trap inside the vehicle. If you want protection you need to get ceramic tint. Also good luck in removing the rear window without destroying your heater defrost lines.

[proud tulip]

Indeed. And seeing as i see 5% tint on a lot of darker colored vehicles ik damn well those owners sweat their asses off when they first get in their cars

Hence why 5% is pointless unless like Amusa said you go with ceramic. Which im sure aint exactly cheap

[open sigil]

5% ceramic will be around 400-500 all around

not bad

my rear window is tinted 5 and defrosts just fine too

[proud tulip]

500 dollars could be used for something else tho. Or saved towards a house

So

[neat isle]

I still say 5% is too much. 10 or 15 too

[open sigil]

500 aint gonna help you buy a house here 😂

[proud tulip]

Okay well i dont live in Cali so

🤣

[open sigil]

yeah so this debate is pointless 🤣

[proud tulip]

20% i feel is a good middle ground. Not too dark. Not too light

[open sigil]

maybe in michigan where yall get like 10 days of sunlight

but not here

[proud tulip]

20% also still looks classy too tho ngl

[proud tulip]

Boi 🤣🤣. We had 4 days of 80F, now its miserable asf at 30F and sleeting

[neat isle]

I’m not stopping you Sadat

Just not gonna do it myself

[proud tulip]

Oh see i aint either

[open sigil]

80 is nothing

try some 110f summers

[proud tulip]

You do you bud

[open sigil]

no tint in the summer is pain

[neat isle]

I get that here

[proud tulip]

Sadat. Its 80F in April

[neat isle]

AND last year -28

[proud tulip]

Our summers are like 115

80F for April is HOT

Just ask Beano

[open sigil]

but do your summers last basically until november

[neat isle]

Midwest gets the worst of both

[neat isle]

Yes for April it is

[proud tulip]

Uhhhh no. We get an early winter instead 🤣

[neat isle]

Yup and then it’s a light switch to 0f-10f

[proud tulip]

Beano knows that all to well too

[neat isle]

Depends on the year

https://tenor.com/view/rollercoaster-roller-coaster-ride-gif-14896128

[proud tulip]

We go from 100+ to fucking 0-10F pretty much either right after Halloween or sometimes on halloween 🤣

Midwest weather is whack

[open sigil]

maybe i want 5 percent in the back for

other reasons

👀

[neat isle]

uhoh

[proud tulip]

Sadat no

[open sigil]

🤫

[proud tulip]

😂

[neat isle]

sh

[proud tulip]

Bad Sadat. We dont do those things in cars 🤣

[neat isle]

No, stealing Corsair products from HQ is illegal

[open sigil]

🤣

[proud tulip]

Ooop 😳

[open sigil]

sure sure thats what it is.....

[proud tulip]

Speaking of sleet

Its sleeting

again

I blame Beano

[neat isle]

HEY

I don’t like it either

[proud tulip]

Im joking. Its definitely @languid jays fault

[neat isle]

yes

[proud tulip]

But no. This weather be dumb ngl lol

Makes it hard to keep cars clean too sadly :/. Bcz you never know whats gonna happen lmao

[open sigil]

blame squatted truck drivers

[proud tulip]

Yes 🤣

[neat isle]

North Carolina

Yes

[proud tulip]

Squatted trucks are dumbbbbb

[open sigil]

they probably are causing half of global warming

[proud tulip]

🤣 probably

Lifted Trucks that have big tires arent bad tho

Same with Jeeps

[open sigil]

nah lifted trucks are dumb too

[neat isle]

anyways I just found out I need to read a book by tomorrow so byeeeeeeeee

[open sigil]

any obnoxiously modded truck is dumb

[proud tulip]

Ehhhh depends in how lifted Sadat

[neat isle]

[proud tulip]

Bye Beanoooo

Enjoy whatever book it is

[open sigil]

its even worse when its a suv

like a lifted suburban

[proud tulip]

True lol

It depends on how lifted tho

[open sigil]

put a lift kit on your civic

[proud tulip]

My dads Jeep is only on about a 3 inch Lift Kit with 38 inch tires

[proud tulip]

Believe it or not 🤣. I thought about making her a Rally Car

[open sigil]

do it

[proud tulip]

Not worth it sadly ;-;. Not with the mechanical issues i keep encountering. Otherwise i would lol

I did find an 04 Accord thats really clean tho and is only 3500 👀

Was thinking of getting that

Bcz 04-06 Accords are also

[open sigil]

go into debt 2023 civic type r

https://tenor.com/view/vtec-turbo-civic-civic-b18c-gif-22060078

[proud tulip]

I cannot afford a payment on a type R 🤣

If anything ill get a 2000 SI

Ive seen a couple for sale for 12,000 👀

They are manuals but i mean...

I know how to drive manual a bit. Its been a while tho

@open sigil going back to the Rally Civic convo

The dreammmm lol

[open sigil]

and under the hood k24 with pizza sized turbos

[proud tulip]

Indeed xD

Because K series engine go vrooooom

With VTEC ofc

[open sigil]

speaking of turbos

👀

this supra had the craziest ive seen

like as big as the engine block itself

[proud tulip]

Wilddddddd lol

Supras are usually crazy

[languid jay]

Bruh

[tough torrent]

That baby thing

Real Turbo in a Supra

That Turbo is still small compare to…

Wait one more 🤣

[proud tulip]

XD

[proud tulip]

Wut. The hell. Is that

[open sigil]

that’s a car attached to a turbo

[proud tulip]

Ah gotcha

Just like the A10 is a plane attached to a gun? 🤣

[open sigil]

yes

if it’s a really big gun

[proud tulip]

It is. Its the GAU 8 Avenger lmao

GAU-8 Avenger https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAU-8_Avenger

Its called a joke?

🤔

[languid jay]

........

[languid jay]

That's is not me

[proud tulip]

Good tires = better handling and better braking

[languid jay]

Yeah but still kinda stupid joke tbh

My gf just got the joke

[proud tulip]

If it increases sales. Is it really that stupid?

[languid jay]

I guess...

[proud tulip]

Lol

[tough torrent]

Don’t forget the forsale 🤣

[proud tulip]

Indeed lmaoooo

Im like 95% sure if my tires were good in January i couldve avoided a collision ;-;. And would be still intent on keeping the Civic i have instead of replacing it

[tough torrent]

At least the tires are cheap for your civic 😂

[open sigil]

specially for 14s

[proud tulip]

Ehhhh true lmao 🤣

Tho they are a tad hard to find sometimes

These two accords look fairly clean ngl

[open sigil]

yes pull out into traffic going unbelievably slow

[proud tulip]

Love when that happens

Like bitch. Yall see im up to speed smh and you still insist on pulling out in front of me. Ive had a couple of trucks do that to me. Its so infuriating

[open sigil]

half the people turning right there never stop or slow down before pulling out onto the road

[proud tulip]

Of course. Why should they?

[open sigil]

its just, i turn now good luck

[proud tulip]

[neat isle]

man I woulda stripped the cable and made it thinner

that cable is so thick

probably has 1/16" insulation

[open sigil]

i mean it does gotta transfer video

[neat isle]

so?

It's not DVI, doesnt need to be that thick

look at Type-C DP Alt

thinnnnn

[open sigil]

believe it or not the older version of this camera had an even thicker cable

[neat isle]

no....

[open sigil]

yep and people kept complaining

so they made it thinner

[languid jay]

There is no way I can really hide that cable to be able to do a 90 turn

[open sigil]

🥱

[neat isle]

soldered or replaceable?

[languid jay]

bruh

[open sigil]

in other news, settled on this film for the my front windows. getting it in 15%

has the best performance for the price compared to other quotes i got from other tint shops

[languid jay]

Noice

[open sigil]

not worth it for me to pay extra to remove my rear 5%, and then 2x more to get them retinted

i’ll just have to live with it

and btw that 5 in the rear came with the car, i didn’t pay for it. if it was up to me i would’ve had 15% back there

[languid jay]

I mean at least your front is going to be able to kinda match

[open sigil]

yup

15 is the sweet spot for my preference

[languid jay]

Is the back tinted at all?

[open sigil]

yeah

[languid jay]

5%

[open sigil]

yeah

all 3 back windows

front passenger and driver has no tint currently

[languid jay]

I have tint on all windows except the Windshield

[open sigil]

but tbh even tho it’s dark as hell back there, i’m paying less than half of a whole tint job to just get my front 2 done

i’m never gonna touch windshield tint, that’s just an instant ticket

[languid jay]

I want it but yeah

[open sigil]

if it were legal for the whole thing id probably get 50 percent on it

or 35

[languid jay]

I would probably want the some tint as I have on my windows

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

[open sigil]

send a pic

i can roughly estimate

[proud tulip]

Indeed

[proud tulip]

🤔

[open sigil]

looks like 15-20 on the sides

[proud tulip]

Oooo we are looking at the window tint xD

I was confused at first lmao

Uhhhh yeah its most likely 15-20%

[languid jay]

I will post more pictures on Wednesday as Lisa (My car's name) is getting a much needed bath

[open sigil]

lisa be stinky

[languid jay]

nah birds just shit themselves when they see this sweet ride

🤣

[open sigil]

tbh im kinda getting tired of going to self car washes 🤣 might start going to automatic touchless washes

[proud tulip]

Might as well Sadat

[simple bear]

They bomb your car with shit

[open sigil]

its such a chore to dry the whole car

[languid jay]

My gf's mom got some quarters but the bank that I went to today declined my activated card

So I am going to a different bank on Wednesday to take money out of my account by number

My nearest branch is a hour away

All I need is $20 bucks

To pay her back

[open sigil]

our garage is very dusty so within a few days of washing my car is already dirty

😔

i wish i had a driveway or something

[languid jay]

I have a parking lot that I park in

[open sigil]

i wish

[languid jay]

and I park far away from other people

But my car is on campus like 90% of the time

[open sigil]

in my neighboorhood you either get 1 car garage + 1 outdoor spot or 2 car garage and no outdoor spot

[languid jay]

oof

[open sigil]

we are moving at the end of this year still on the house hunt

i hope we get something with a driveway

[languid jay]

At my house we have a big driveway and enough spots for like 100 people

And no birds shitting on cars

[neat isle]

💪

[proud tulip]

Stronk

[open sigil]

uh oh

[languid jay]

@neat isle @proud tulip @tough torrent @simple bear Who has the best install? Me or @open sigil ?

Heh
S - For Sadat
C - C for CoolGuy

[open sigil]

🤔

[neat isle]

S

[languid jay]

Emote react Beano lol

[proud tulip]

Wait. Is it really fair since i think Sadat had someone professionally do it?

Iirc anyways

I could be wrong

[open sigil]

nope

did it myself

[proud tulip]

Ah neat

Hmmmmm

I should get one for my next car 🤔

[open sigil]

the professional is also named sadat

what a coincidence

[proud tulip]

Huh. What a coincedence

Who woulda thunk it xD

[open sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/transitions-kinemaster-black-guy-suit-tiktok-gif-25279479

[proud tulip]

But yeee i think after i get my next car imma invest in a dashcam

Might just as well

[open sigil]

its a necessity tbh

everyone should have one

thats why more manufacturers are integrating dashcams into the car itself

[proud tulip]

Im honestly surprised front cameras havent become standard from the factories yet

[languid jay]

Ingolf you voted for both of them

[proud tulip]

Mhmmm

[simple bear]

I'm gonna get that camera too when I get my car

[open sigil]

currently its a thing only on high end cars or if you get it optioned

[proud tulip]

😂😂

[languid jay]

The Vifo brothers

[proud tulip]

Ahhhh gotcha. And i bet you gotta pay and arm and a leg for it right? XD

[languid jay]

[open sigil]

teslas have really great dashcam integration since they have like 10 cameras on them

[proud tulip]

Lmaoooo

Teslas are just a car built around a camera 😂

[open sigil]

but even for high end cars, they have the capability. they have all those cameras for the birds eye view parking, they can just code dashcam functionality into it

[proud tulip]

Trueeee lol

[open sigil]

which is why its slowly starting to happen, i think bmw and mercedes are starting to offer drive recording on their cars

[proud tulip]

Backup cameras are a tad pointless tho i feel. Id rather just be good at using my mirrors and such

[proud tulip]

Im sure all these EVs will probably end up getting cameras and such

[open sigil]

if they were pointless it wouldnt be federally mandated lmao

[proud tulip]

Are they really? 😆

[open sigil]

yep

after 2015 or 2016 , im not sure

but fairly recently

[proud tulip]

Whackkkk lmao

[open sigil]

they are mandated on all new cars. even the cheapest of cheapo cars

[proud tulip]

But its not federally mandated to have them constantlt work

Just. Disable it

[open sigil]

Lol

2000 dollar fee to unlock the camera

ez stealership workaround

[proud tulip]

True lmfao

I dont really feel a need in having it tbh. I like having to use my mirrors to back in

Ive gotten pretty good at it too ngl

[open sigil]

its just very convenient

[proud tulip]

Eh trueee lol. Just like a touchscreen radio im sure :P

Which is neattttt

[open sigil]

backup camera also offers a far wider FOV than with your mirrors, easier to see traffic to the left and right when backing in/out

[proud tulip]

Yeee thats fair lol

Unless you got a truck and are hauling a big trailer that blocks it lol

Tho still useful im sure even then :P

[open sigil]

them big ass trucks probably got 360 cams

[proud tulip]

Probably yeeee

I dont know if the Semi Trucks have cameras in em tho 🤔

[open sigil]

semi truck drivers are just a different breed of human with exceptional parking skills

they dont need em

[proud tulip]

Well yeah 🤣

Look at those 52" trailers they gotta back into factories and such

I do still kinda wanna do this 🤣. The more i look at it. The more it makes me wanna do it. But ik i shouldnt. At least not rn anyways

[simple bear]

Baja Civic

[open sigil]

driving in the snow, ok
driving on anything else, pain

that would need a whole lotta work

[proud tulip]

Probably yeah

[open sigil]

suspension and awd swap namely

[proud tulip]

Idk. I feel like FWD could work still lol

Suspension would be pretty straight forward

[open sigil]

that sorta defeats the purpose 😂

[proud tulip]

Eh true 🤣
