Oh oof didnt realize that

jaunty sequoia

it had bad range, even for the time it came out

proud tulip
#

I feel like Hondas hybrids are a bit better tbh

jaunty sequoia
#

same with the toyota b4zx, it's utter trash, just a compliance car really

proud tulip
#

And Hondas made hybrids for yearsssss

dim goblet

@jaunty sequoia apparently the french only put a chain in their EB 1.2 puretech LAST YEAR, it came out in 2013 damn it

tldr; all cars are shit nowadays

the origins of your car is more about choosing what kinda problems you wanna be dealing with

Fairrr

also the new prius is 49k here 😁

neat isle
#

good thing im in the most basic car on the face of the planet

#

yes im an npc

jaunty sequoia
#

american cars are unreliable, but cheap to fix. german ones are reliable but expensive to fix and maintain. japanese ones are boring AF. French have solid reliability but are very prone to rust

#

it's all benefits and drawbacks

American cars are cheap to fix but the costs add up QUICK

And they’re always found on the road dead

Ive studied WW2 a lottttt

also, i don't think even the greatest leaders ever could foresee german tank crew being zooted out of their fucking minds off of pervitin to drive straight through thick forests for like 20 hours straight

Probably not 😂

I will say. Reading some of the stories of the French and Polish underground resistance movements is kinda crazy

#

at least on the new 5008 nope

#

only diesels are the 308 and 508

jaunty sequoia
#

but the 1.3 puretech, it's only on hybrid models, right?

dim goblet
#

and their diesel now is a 1.5 blueHDi

jaunty sequoia
#

i do genuinly think though that the new ec3 is cheap enough that it can compete against petrol models, and good enought that normal people can use it as a daily driver'

dim goblet

ik

dim goblet
#

idk maybe i'm shallow or smt

jaunty sequoia
#

can you look up the price for a base model c3 with a petrol engine vs EV?

jaunty sequoia
#

the french site is only in french, and not translateable lmao

dim goblet
#

on the same page

jaunty sequoia
#

bruh wtf

dim goblet
#

yeah

#

thats not the min price, cheapest doesn't even come with a screen

#

this is base base model

jaunty sequoia
#

bruh the screen isn't fucking worth 2000€

#

car screens are the cheapest shit on the market, this is just pure greed

corner cutting at its finest

I wonder how much the profit margin on cars grew in the last 20 years

#

also didnt the eu require a backup camera on all new cars ??

jaunty sequoia
#

doubt it

#

backup camera is by no means needed

#

maybe parking sensors

dim goblet
jaunty sequoia
#

imo, backup cameras make you a worse driver

dim goblet
#

well eh

#

parking sensors are a necessary tho

jaunty sequoia
#

more as a nifty warning, but you shouldn't rely 100% on them

#

which is what backup cameras encourage

dim goblet
#

it's just a lot faster and more convinient

jaunty sequoia
#

nah, mirrors is the fastest

open sigil
#

german cars best

jaunty sequoia
#

camera for distance guaging only

dim goblet
#

i wouldn't go as close to other cars when backing up without a sensor

dim goblet
#

yes

#

i agree

jaunty sequoia
#

it's a basic skill that should be mandatory

open sigil
#

looking very cute and submissive in its corner

dim goblet
#

in some way

dim goblet
#

while i can park with 1m front and back easily

#

tldr from this whole covo, newer cars are bad, too expensive and too complicated

open sigil
#

just buy one in warranty and sell it when it expires

dim goblet
#

also they all have the same interior look, it's full of plastic and options for cars aren't even for engine anymore, just overpriced trim level

open sigil
#

the only real issue i’ve had in my car so far was the ambient light strip was defective

#

but it was replaced for free

dim goblet
#

yeah well you have a nice car, the problem lies in "entry" level cars

#

well beamer is still overpriced on trim level but at this point it's every carmaker

simple bear
open sigil
dim goblet
#

or does it come for free

open sigil
#

that one’s a monthly sub

#

i get the first 3 months free

jaunty sequoia
#

even 118i's would be pulled over by the cops for any reason

dim goblet
open sigil
#

my car doesn’t draw much attention though

#

other than the dark windshield and no front plate

jaunty sequoia
#

maybe in the us, where chargers mustangs and corvettes are common

open sigil
jaunty sequoia
#

over here, BMW are the stereotypical cop magnet

simple bear
open sigil
#

yeah

simple bear
#

Why not get a plate bracket and put it on?

open sigil
#

but it’s one of those things that’s not really enforced unless you get a ticket for something else

open sigil
#

it just looks terrible

simple bear
#

Hmm

open sigil
#

the chances of getting a ticket front front plates aren’t that high, but let’s say you get pulled over for speeding the cop will probably stack that with it

#

same with tint

#

unless you’re crazy and have a 5 percent windshield

#

teslas don’t even come with mounting for a front plate so most i’ve seen don’t have one

#

and being in california teslas are everywhere lol cops aren’t gonna light up every one they see

Isn't that your bmw?

Why are yall obsessed with trying to die on the road

#

Everyone in this chat is crazy

proud tulip
#

i only drive about 70-80MPH on the freeway usually.

#

and the higher side is usually to pass semis and slower traffic typically

neat isle
#

Max I do is 70-75 and I don’t like to

#

65 is fine tho

proud tulip
#

i dont really like doing 75+ too honestly. id rather just cruise control 70 the entire way to work. but traffic gets annoying sometimes

neat isle
#

Cops here are aggressive about speeding

#

and I don’t feel like getting pulled over

#

and also you know. danger. I wanna live.

#

I just do what traffic does im very npc

proud tulip
#

cops here mostly dont care if your 5 over typically

#

10 over though most will nail you. it also depends on area and department though

#

MSP is usually pretty chill as long as you arent doing something stupid lmfao

#

like weaving in and out of traffic with no blinkers at high speed 😂

neat isle
proud tulip
#

i dont even want one

Taco or Sadat on a motorcycle scares me to think

#

I’d love to have but I will NOT RISK THAT

proud tulip

but my father in law and wife wont let me because people on the roads dont pay attention these days 😬

neat isle

and I wouldn’t be able to control one tbh

proud tulip

i most likely wouldnt be able to either tbh

A thing I’ve said before is “I’d be zippy on a moped”

people need to learn to have fun in slow car

don’t need fast car to have fun

you can have fun with cars that only have 120-150 HP still :P

That CEO has no responsibility, he just steps down and probably takes a fat check while there are massive layoffs happening

dim goblet
#

So this vid is kinda misleading, the group itself decided to not renew his contract in 2026 but he wants to stay

He still earns 39 mil a year regardless, but they are in a ton of crap so it could be kinda justified

This – deep breath – is the new Ferrari F80. The successor to LaFerrari. And by extension, a halo Ferrari supercar with a lineage that stretches back from LaFerrari, through Enzo, F50 and F40, to 288 GTO. No pressure, then…

It’s a once-a-decade occurrence, the LaFerrari having been revealed way back in 2013. That car was Ferrari’s first hybrid,...

the automotive section was owned by GM

#

and when GM refused to accept that saab wasn't a budget brand comparable to Opel, they had to shut it down during the 2008 financial crisis

#

saab was bleeding money because they were restricted in what kind of cars and quality they could produce, and thus didn't sell very well

Isnt the only hard part the emissions and new safety laws

dim goblet

like Porsche is already so close with thier legacy cars, it wouldn't take that much effort to remake a first gen 911 right ? You only modernize the entertainment system, make it more reliable with newer techniques and nothing else, no electric, no weight change, no BS

just imagine a 2026 F40, like the real deal but more affordable and where you're not afraid to take it out as much

dim goblet
#

It's so exciting tho, the last 6 years or so were dark times, we're fianlly getting real high powered cars again

i mean nothing I can afford right but it means the industry understood it fucked up

I mean come on toyota remaking an LFA after they lost money on the first one ? that was very unlikely

#

new VIN and electronic injection, they kept everything the same and it's STILL road legal

It’ll be V8, some guys ik already placed order

Everything else from the front was fine

That jags gonna be like 3M because the R&D is so high. It also doesnt look road legal for the US maybe southeast asia where it says the client that contracted jaguar to make them lives

Welcome back to a brand new Prototype industry pool spotting video from the Nurburgring Nordschleife, this time with some very interesting and new prototypes testing hard on the track.

my friend had a crash that wasnt even that bad and his cars most likely gonna get totaled. my coworkers m340i is in the shop and the IX loaner he got got a cracked windshield

They wont

fathom brook

Only time the chevy dealer listens to me is when i say dont wash my car. Saves them 3$in water and supplies so yeah they dont wash it LOL

#

Mercedes probably wont wash it either if i asked but my e350 isnt ppfed

The front should have more than rear

#

You’re a front engine car

Haha yeah and 33 seems too little i say 50

Check ur gas flap?

Mine are 42-44 psi

Oh i thought you were trolling

If I use the back 2 seats often, then 44 in rear too, otherwise it’s 38

He has a RWD its still bigger tires in rear. My E350 is 36 front 40 rear cold

frosty snow

Ahhh his is RWD?

#

Yea that’s fine then if wider tires in rear

#

Mine are staggered too

#

Thankfully not GT tires at 275

open sigil

i have rwd but it’s a square setup

frosty snow

This is the one in door

#

Check gas flap

#

Should be diff values

open sigil

they don’t put anything in the gas flap

frosty snow

Hmmm. Lemme think ab where else has

#

On Benz they have diff values in gas flap than the door sticker

open sigil
frosty snow
#

Ahhh, owners manual for u guys in addition to B pillar

open sigil
#

i’ve never seen higher pressure in the fronts for a rwd car

#

always higher pressure in rear

frosty snow
#

Well on their printout front both are 32

#

so it’s less than the rears

open sigil
#

rears 35 front 32

#

rears should be higher

frosty snow
#

Hmm maybe a Benz thing

#

This is off a C63

open sigil
#

prob due to the weight balance

#

bmw puts battery and other stuff in the trunk

frosty snow
#

Benz batteries in front

#

Maserati also has battery and fuses in the trunk

open sigil
#

and since mine is rwd i only have a rear diff

#

less weight in the front

Non staggered RWD!! What in the sports car

open sigil

i thought staggered was better

more meat at the rear

#

Yeah i dont think you should buy new wheels at this point just to get more performance on a 540

Just live out the old man cruiser like me till it dies

#

My e350 is staggered though and only came staggered with Sport package, but i think the 2014-16 it was an option and came square as standard with Sport trim

frosty snow
#

Yeah, the E450 is also sq

#

But my E 53 is staggered

#

My winters are squared though cause they’re winter tires and I can swap them in between two cars

My rears are 265/35 and front 245/40

and simple bolt ones with a tune can get me into the mid 3s for 0-60

#

But dont you need to upgrade the suspension too to handle all that power

open sigil
#

not unless you’re going crazy high numbers

#

stock trans and suspension is good for up to 700 i believe

#

unless you’re dig racing at every light

frosty snow
#

It’s just an I, not an M car or comp

#

No need to mod it that much

#

Ur not gonna keep it forever anyways lol

#

Now if u plan to keep this car and not buy a better or newer one for at least 5y then yea perhaps

open sigil
#

just because its not an m doesnt mean that much

#

the powertrain is extremely capable and known for it

frosty snow
#

It’s not just the engine bro 😝

#

Transmission , suspension, brakes to list a few

#

LSD, sub frame reinforcement, bigger bearings, different spindles, clutch…for the other not so obvious stuff. Not everything is just a tune or stage 1

open sigil
#

you dont need all that for basic stage 2 on pump gas/e50

#

that sounds like youre building a track car

frosty snow
#

I mean brakes and suspension ya lol, that’s just basic safety

#

But if that’s ur style and what ur into then you do you

fathom brook
#

Yeah the suspension is probably what i would be the most concerned with on handling that much power. Maybe up to mid 400's is safe but also depends how hard you drive

# frosty snow Benz batteries in front

Mercedes also put battery's in the trunk as well (Main and or Aux) also you can find it in the cabin as well. BMW tire pressure info is on the door sticker and owner manual. Mercedes is the only one I know that put it on the gas lid cover.

wise mirage
#

There is a new version 4.48 available but it wasn’t activated and required more work so I went with 4.39 as it supports what I need

#

Now I don’t need to pay BMW $250 for a diagnosis

#

Plus 4.39 is updated to 2022 so any model after 2022 is unsupported which is fine cause I don’t think I’ll be owning a 2022 any time soon

Okay time to sleep now this shit took 11 hours to download

What do you guys think of the Mazda CX-30 and CX-5?

doesn’t allow for code clearing on my car though

might just be a g series thing

It isn’t, bimmerlink is good but nothing like ISTA

would take it over a toyota or honda any day

i prob would have kept it so much longer

Yeah, Im a sedan kind of guy

but seeing the new 3 go for the same price as the CX-30 is making me question things

so much better than a civic/hatch
