@neat isle im gonna be ordering this dashcam

[forest ridge]

Ooh

[fathom brook]

I thought bmws had built in front cam recorders or is that an option

[open sigil]

my car has the option but i just want a second camera for peace of mind

the resolution of the car cams isnt that great, and theres no audio either

and it doesnt save recordings unless it detects an accident/you manually do it. so its just always recording but not saving. only good thing is that it records 4 ways with the cars 360 cams

with a dedicated cam i can have all the recordings whenever i want

[frosty snow]

Yes

Same with me , manual record.,. Stupid 480p that was 300$ option

And doesnt record when parked 😂

[open sigil]

not good quality

but it’s cool to have

mine doesn’t record either when parked

that would be amazing

[forest ridge]

Mine only records while parked when the car is on 💀

Ive only got a front dashcam tho

[open sigil]

apparently you can’t hardwire a dashcam in a bmw

fuse box is in the trunk and looks like battery doesn’t like drawing power when it’s off regardless of the voltage

something like that

[open sigil]

car makers are greedy, simple coding to just use the 360 cams to record and then charge for it

[open sigil]

copart is so interesting to search

totaled from "normal wear"

put 152k miles on a bmw v8 in 2 years itll total itself 🤣

[dim goblet]

That’s not proper BMW etiquette 😡

[frosty snow]

[open sigil]

i have failed as a bmw driver

gotta parallel park over some disabled spots to redeem myself

[dim goblet]

Gotta take up at least 3 handicapped spots

[frosty snow]

I know right even the Mercedes did tht

[dim goblet]

yeah that's a certain level for sure

average class a driver

[fathom brook]

Not a GLA

[fathom brook]

Even my car has a 720p camera and picks up sound. But of course people want it for track so they had to make it good

It does auto save records, auto delete when full and puts lots of data in the recording

[frosty snow]

Ya

[fluid yoke]

@open sigil had a bmw driver park next to me and as I come to my car to leave they leave their car and ask if I have space to get in my car and says the parking spots are tight. Tbh we were on the wider parking spots but if you park straight might not be that tight 🤣

[open sigil]

those track cams with the g meter and tachs are sweet

but most corvettes i’ve seen are old people driving lol they’re babied summer cars in the garage for the rest of the year

[open sigil]

at least they were considerate to ask

[fathom brook]

Average age is a lot lower this generation but you have to think how many people in their 20's or 30's can afford to spend 60-100k on a 2 seater sports car? This is when people have kids or just start work

[frosty snow]

Cost of ownership for Mclaren is around 6 to 8K a year depending on your issues 😭

[frosty snow]

If you look at the older Corvettes like the C6, it’s a lot of younger people, but the C7 and C8 high spec or Z06 are older

[frosty snow]

Cause we chose cars over priorities😂😂😂

Was close to getting an SL 63 and the only reason was, I have a third passenger sometime so I need the rear seat

Older ppl tend to only have 1 passenger aka the wife so they don’t need the back seats

But as a single male in a semi sporty car, it’s easier to fill up the backseat

[open sigil]

id love a coupe as my next car

either m4 or m5 if i still want a sedan

or a m2

[neat isle]

corolla coupe when

[open sigil]

its called the gr86

[fathom brook]

Not even since its a subaru engine and mostly subaru parts

[neat isle]

And it’s not made

Anymore

I think

NOPE IT IS

wow

But Subaru

[proud tulip]

Never sadly

Corolla and Civic coupes are dead

No one wants the 2dr Civic anymore

[neat isle]

[proud tulip]

Subarus arent bad :) as long as you arent stupid with the engine and transmission 😂

[neat isle]

Oh no they’re great

I love Subaru

But it’s not a Corolla

[proud tulip]

My wifes 16' Forester XT is amazing. The turbo is so nice

[proud tulip]

[neat isle]

My brother has a forester and my mom an ascent

[open sigil]

70 mph is the minimum speed on our freeway

[proud tulip]

The only area im aware of in Michigan where highways are at 55 is deep in Downtown Detroit

Everything else is 70-75

no other mod ?? HE DIDNT EVEN HAVE A SEATBELT ON

peak idiocy, wear your seatbelt kids

[fathom brook]

They said he did have it on this time

[dim goblet]

he also had a parachute for some reason

[fathom brook]

https://tenor.com/view/forza-horizon5-ford-bronco-badlands-driving-off-plane-cargo-plane-parachute-gif-23693071

Obviously he is doing air drops

Like fast and furious

[dim goblet]

also isn't it kinda strange the post says "mid race" while it clearly happened on a public highway ?

[dim goblet]

?

[pliant agate]

Could’ve been a highway race

[dim goblet]

you think a state would allow that kind of race ? I think never in 1000 years

[pliant agate]

I agree, they would not.

Just an idea.

[dim goblet]

Judging from his idea of safety, I think they probably blocked a part of a highway with other cars or smt idk

[dim goblet]

yeah that's probably the reason why

and he clearly didn't have the braincells to consider adding a 6 point harness after an accident like that

[dim goblet]

yeah it wasn't stock, caption probably lied for legal reasons ? idk

[open sigil]

1stockf30 is his username

[dim goblet]

so that big ass turbo is stock ?

[open sigil]

obviously not that’s just a joke name

he started from a f30 340i

he was pretty influential in the bmw community it sucks to see a lot of comments on reddit and youtube that are just straight disrespect

of course he could’ve maybe prevented this but we are talking about someone who passed away people gotta have some respect

[dim goblet]

but it was unreasonable, 8s 1/4 mile, crashes without any safety, it luckily isn't too bad, 5 months later goes back on PUBLIC roads, only added a parachute, puts people in danger and he found out 2 days after going back at it
https://youtu.be/XlSEXP8jNiI?si=7IH5Br2Sr_bdUw5y&t=324

[dim goblet]

I completely understand that, but it doesn't sound like he was reasonable enough to see that first crash as a warning...

I know it's not his fault, it was oil, but people warned him that he needed more safety. I'm fine with that alone, but putting the safety of others at risk ? I'm glad he didn't kill anyone else in his crash

on another note

[frosty snow]

Benz tops it

[frosty snow]

Was street race

[frosty snow]

Parachute for drag strips

[frosty snow]

Fr, Darwinism ftw. He’s out of gene pool now

And now more fans want a street race in his honour

[dim goblet]

It’s just so maddening seeing them torch the road for more grip, basically ruins it for some mid launch, like get real and go on a fucking drag strip then

[dim goblet]

Mine does not. On the motorway im always adjusting the music volume as on the motorway there is so much noise and i go back to the 50 zones and then music too load. Quiet annoying to have to constantly change volume

[fluid yoke]

Same - when i get into the parking of uni i go the furthest away from everyone and reverse into the spot. I always reverse into a spot onlt a few times had to go in and it annoys me when i have to

[frosty snow]

Lmao

[fathom brook]

Ive never heard of him in my life no kid with a 340 is influential in the bmw community. Bmw doesnt need influencers to sell

The F80 and F82 were master pieces when he was in middle school. The cars sold themselves

[open sigil]

in the tuning community i should specify

one of the first few people to push the b58 to crazy high numbers

[frosty snow]

Ikr

[frosty snow]

Just shame he didn’t have the IQ to put safety first

Attention and internet clout is a drug

[dim goblet]

Or take a 300kph crash as a warning for way more safety

[frosty snow]

Fr

The lack of harness

Insane

Even track cars doing average 200 have harness and helmet

Helmet useless without seatbelt

It’s like doing a fast food worker having gloves on one hand 😂

[fathom brook]

Atleast if it happens to them they can sue and get a new upgraded car

[frosty snow]

Well they released statement now

So they can’t sue as they’ve been notified

But if it’s not fixed after recall then u can claim as lemon

[dim goblet]

Porsche has shown that its great on this type of stuff tho
They did a recall on the Carrera GT, with a free maintenance and a set of wheels along with a 120k titanium replacement part

The carrera GT is 21 years old, who else than Porsche would do a recall on a car this old

[neat isle]

porsche is cool

gotta get used to going backwards though

[fathom brook]

My friend did just get his free engine swap on his 2015 gt3

He was close to not getting it he almost hit the 10 year blow up period but it blew up

[frosty snow]

They had big sales drop this year sadly

But Porsche lifetime warranty is good

Friend has it in his 1979 Porsche form his dad

And he will be getting on his gt3 touring that’s at 100,000 km now

not yet that sounds horrible

[dim goblet]

Always found those stupid like can’t they run the plate to see if it’s fine

Like here we have automatic cameras at the entrance of Brussels that check carfax, registration, insurance,…

Those fuckers are called ANPR
They can detect fugitives escaping, speed, low emission zone for older cars and they can even weight semi trucks

[dim goblet]

It’s winter tires time

[neat isle]

low emission zone dumb

[dim goblet]

well yes, in practical terms it just means that older cars can't enter the capital, we have something called Euro ratings, so you have Euro1 up to Euro6d. Diesel cars must be newer compared to petrol.
But it's kinda falling appart, they already pushed it back 2 years because it's just not realistic

If you own a car that's less than 10 years old, life is pretty much the same, you won't have to worry about a thing

[neat isle]

10 years is crazy

That’s nothing for a car

[frosty snow]

yea i gotta change mine next week, too lazy to rn

but its at home so its not bad

vantablack Corolla

[jaunty sequoia]

I'd be so fucking pissed every time I drove if I had one of these

The turn radius would infuriate me

[fluid yoke]

Was considering the polo evo tbh. Didnt look bad and was a good price. For around the same money i got a seat leon however and i dont regret it its been so much fun

[dim goblet]

It has a 4M wheelbase (longer than a polo) , and 16m turning radius (compared to 5 for the polo)

[dim goblet]

Honestly I hate city driving even in a normal SUV, it just feels cumbersome… on the highway it’ fine and nice, but it’s clearly not for the city

[dim goblet]

I really like it, compact, nimble, still has all the space, stable at 140kph on the highway.
They’re way better on the newer 2021+ models, LED headlights (don’t get halogens they’re really underpowered), bigger interior, digital dial cluster, adaptive cruise control, rear camera and all the new mandated EU features.
I’d say it’s the best compromise for a smaller car that’s still very good for highway, you don’t want to be in an up on the highway…
My only complaints are for power, I’ve got the 1L MPI (80hp), I’d say get at least the TSI (95-120hp), it feels really underpowered for the highway, I am often at full throttle because the peak torque is at 3500rpm on the mpi, it’s way lower on the TSI

[dim goblet]

The Leon looks similar to the Audi A1 which is literally built on the same chassis as a polo, they’re basically the same cars with the same engine if not for the interior trim and the prices…

[fluid yoke]

Im happy i didnt get the lower hp ones. 130 isnt that bad as long as you are in the correct gear. Can easily be in the fastest lane and everyone else there has way more hp than me

[fathom brook]

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-star-spongebob-squarepants-wow-mindblown-gif-13169052

[dim goblet]

Yes

Wasn’t sure if Seat was in VW group

[jaunty sequoia]

it is, but is currently being reduced to a public EV program instead of it's own brand

like electric scootgers and such

[radiant lion]

I can really vouch for the newer Polos, got a 2022 as my first car and it's so nimble as a city car, and very stable on the highway even at illegal speeds. The 80hp is a dead engine for the most part..... the 95hp which I have is way better. Turbo kicks in at about 2.5k RPM and easily gets up to speed.
Interior is still pretty nice, a bit basic but it has everything you need.
Great first car 👍

[fathom brook]

The polo looks just like a golf

We dont have these cars in the US

[radiant lion]

yup just a bit more compact. I like the style of the polo better than the current golf tbh

it's too round for me

Mud mats?. Probably because they didnt wanna destroy carpet ones lmfao

I have nice weathertech floor mats in my front seats in my Civic

[hollow radish]

lol yeah but they never drove the car, it was pretty low mileage, they dont look right in it. i have them in my truck becuase im in and out of it all day

it didnt even have carpet ones underneath, had to order a full set

[frosty snow]

Seasonal

I have carpet for summer

Once I see snow, mud mats go in

To prevent the water from pooling

[frosty snow]

Tuxmats fit nicer too!

[hollow radish]

yeah i hear that, i just dont drive it in the snow fortunately

[cloud dome]

Cute tho hahaha

[fathom brook]

I dont like the weatherproof mats in the corvette too much grip when im trying to change pedals

I got it in the mercedes though

I got some aftermarket cloth ones in the corvette its nicer than the factory ones

[hollow radish]

[open sigil]

no snow or mud here

My sister is upset her X3 M40i is shutting down randomly while she is in drive. This is the second visit to BMW (Under warranty). Waiting until I get the verdict from BMW. Found out it's a known issue on the B58. I'm guessing a fuel vent valve the way my sister is explaining it to me. Can also be a software or battery glitch

The right to bear arms or not be charged w hurting robbers should be passed

Did mercedes rebrand the E coupe to CLE? I saw one at costco getting gas

Why is this so slow and expensive

Fuck thatttt

E63 is 603hp and 0-60 in 3 second

[hollow radish]

3.9 is no slouch regardless

[fathom brook]

For 88k starting its slow for its price and power

Thats 88k with 0 packages

[hollow radish]

meh slow for price I don't agree

if you pay 90k for a Corvette I'd agree it better be fast, because they don't offer everything else that Mercedes does.

[frosty snow]

The new one in 2025 has more than current

C8 vette is slow though, the non z06

[fathom brook]

my car starting was 59k and 0-60 is 2.7s

i even got every option except front lift and my msrp was still 87k which is less than the starting for the E53

[frosty snow]

Yea, it’s that luxury markup

[hollow radish]

yeah European luxury, it's not a race car. I'm just saying 90k + price doesn't always mean it's gotta be sub 3sec 0-60

[frosty snow]

debating if i wanna get lowering springs and spacers to clean up the wheel gap

relatively inexpensive and looks great

[fluid yoke]

for me whats more annoying is the wheels are not out enough. the wheel arches are more close to me than the wheels if you get me

[frosty snow]

Wider wheels then 🙂 just make sure it doesn’t rub

Or add spacer to your existing

[hollow radish]

I would advise against lowering springs

[frosty snow]

Coilovers hehe

[open sigil]

why not

[fathom brook]

Got the last one they had on the shelf. Got a new case and some bear thing they had

[gentle osprey]

Ordered parts 7&8 in the cheapest colour. £230 😐 not worried on colour as we're wrapping them and other bits but still!

[fluid yoke]

Huh wheel is on the correct side

[pliant agate]

My dad’s car gets 35-40, roughly.

I think.

[gentle osprey]

PN listings show lhd and rhd, I ordered rhd for obvious reasons

[hollow radish]

if it's a cheaper car go for it, but if it's a nicer car I would get full suspension kit. something where the strut is designed to be with the springs. lowering springs are just shorter and stiffer on a strut they aren't meant for, they can really affect your ride comfort

not all lowering springs scenarios are bad but I've done both ways and the lower springs were a rough ride and made the rear of my Audi feel loose

[frosty snow]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[open sigil]

I’ve seen Eibach springs are good at maintaining stock ride quality and only a little bit stiffer

h&r springs are the ones that ruin the ride quality

Aren't they already owned by Renault though?

They finished infinity and they're just running out till death...🪦... since Nissan has 12-13 months worth of cash... they laying off thousands of workers, dumped their Mitsubishi stock and partnership (killing Mitsubishi which was already dead) if Renault demos it's stock it may go quite quickly...

[dim goblet]

@shrewd topaz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KePLAUces-Y
so 3 options

1. There is a catch they didn't mention/they overpromise
2. it's a pump and dump crappy startup and sauber is just so desperate for sponsors
3. it's a new, world-changing tech

[shrewd topaz]

Oh Sauber... How far you've fallen

[dim goblet]

idk maybe it's real

[dim goblet]

they seem to be from britain but i don't buy the "made from just air and water"
their marketing videos seem to have a high budget but their most viewed video only has left channel audio like ???

I guess iti's normal to not say anything if it's their tech, but we need a bit more to start beleive in it

[fathom brook]

Honestly true of the last gen I rented a non comp and a comp. Comp was a whole different car

Same with m4/m3 comp and non comp i drove all the F80/82 models and the comp is way better

[dim goblet]

so actually it's real, it's basically reconstructing the molecular structure of octane using hydrogen from electrolysis and captured CO2 from the environment.
So you still emit CO2 doing this, but it's captured back and recreates new fuel, BUT it burns way cleaner, you don't have all those NOx, particulates, etc, it's only CO2 (you can see the difference in color), you don't have the rest of junk that can't be combusted.
you basically make methanol from CO2 and H2, add it in chains and boom, C8H18, the magical number to Octane (octane is actually for 8 carbons, the more you know)
https://youtu.be/VUKN3m8wD2Q?si=-_RE0f5I0KLUJJd1 the donut video isn't half bad explaining it without too much detals

So this would be the perfect alternative right ? We can keep our gas cars and everyone is happy
well yes and no, 2 issues. (cost is an issue right now, 60$/gal but that's only the beginning)

1. you can ONLY produce it with renewable energy for it to make any sense, which is fine, but we still need to invest a lot more into them
2. EFFICIENCY; an internal combustion engine (ICE) is only 30% efficient. Add all the inefficiencies to that, and you fall to 6-18% of efficiency, aka 80% of the actual energy is wasted into heat energy.... https://youtu.be/0d0MPg7DxbY?si=s-Cr24vq4YJpsFcV

SO TLDR;
-we WILL be able to keep our ICE cars without any modifications and be guilt-free/ not bad for the environment it's just gonna be REALLY expensive and probably reserved to enthusiasts/motorsports
-it is NOT the perfect solution, especially for the heavy industries like shipping boats
-Battery EVs are still the most efficient form of transport and will always be, all of the new methods come from electricity, and you get it directly without efficiency losses in BEVs (even though batteries aren't the perfect solution either, but there is no getting around the fact an electric motor is 95-99% efficient)

Thanks for listening to my TED Talk

[shrewd topaz]

So bring back V10s to F1? 😭

[dim goblet]

well we could certainly
To modern production cars it wouldn't make sense anymore unfortunately but hey we can always dream, a bunch of supercars came out this year, I feel like we haven't seen that in a while
I think the 2023 and 2024 Ev sale struggle made automakers rethink, and perhaps we will see the repercussions of ICE investments from this year in a couple of years

emisions restrictions are going a bit backwards, we see more buttons appear in cars again, maybe, just maybe the indstry is healing ? 2024 has been a crazy year for cars anyways

[dim goblet]

I don’t think the future will be one or the other, it will be a mix of ICE, BEV, hydrogen and possibly other things

BEV aren’t suited for everything, no matter how you cut it, synthetic won’t be for everything either and same story for hydrogen

Update on the car situation. Yes it is the vapor canister and I can drive with it on. Just have to be carful bc I will potentially have no abs or traction control. Mechanic says that he doesn't know if it actually disables the systems or not but going to play it as I don't have traction control or abs. He says that Subaru turns on those different lights for people to get it serviced. Got a date for my car to get in a get it checked out on the 16th.

Maybe people like G-Klasse owners will buy it, but the G-class is also known to have a terrible depreciation

i'm kinda optimistic abut jaguar

[frosty snow]

Gl!😂

They wanna be in RR market and bmw haha

[jaunty sequoia]

I think whatever they're doing now is better than what they've been doing for the last couple of years

They have only stopped production of cars and not come with new models

Whatever they were doing before, clearly wasn't working

The whole ultraliberal theme they're going for now is obviously a marketing stunt

It's made to be talked about and has brought the most attention to jaguar since probably the 70s

The new concept model is also so obviously marketing stunt, there's 0% chance that stone inserts in the interior will make it past crash testing without becoming a shrapnel hazard

[tough torrent]

What is the story behind Nissan? I heard rumor that it's merging with Mitsubishi and now Honda.

[hollow radish]

Yeah i didn't even know the UK for instance requires almost a 1/4 of a manufacturer's car sales to be EV

[fathom brook]

A 400Z with a type R engine would be nice but only thing honda would gain is making nissan a sports brand

I actually liked the nissan rogue i rented last year it was a nice car. Only issue was the rear seat sensor kept saying it needed to buckle up but no one was sitting in the seat. Very spooky i think someone died back there and their ghost was in the seat

[dim goblet]

honestlyy i don't really hate the exterior that much, but the production model will probably be super toned down, I mean there isn't even a trunk
The interior is horrible tho
As a statement piece, it is currently a success but as a car, they aren't targetting a huge market
Though as someone pointed out, the last times they were searched about on google this much was at the end of their f1 team, and the xfr (or another model idk)

the BMW M1 Procar was pretty forgotten, but it looks so damn good

I like it more than the countach

holy shit the group 5 specs were insane for the 80s

[jaunty sequoia]

It didn't perform well, so it got dropped

And people forgot about it

[jaunty sequoia]

That's what I mean, regulations will force design changes, so it will probably look more like a Nissan 400z or something

[dim goblet]

Any change that is going away from egg cars is good change

[jaunty sequoia]

I'm all for experimenting with materials, and I think brass would look sweet, but the interior will change

No way they're not gonna have a dash

[dim goblet]

Im just honestly wondering how the financial aspect of it looks… they haven’t made a car in a year, and it’s probably not going to sell in huge quantities

[jaunty sequoia]

The center console divider is way too tall and the dash board itself needs to reshape to fit airbags and such

[jaunty sequoia]

But it might though, it's new

There's nothing like it

And also, I really fuck with the pink

i love v8 suvs

[dim goblet]

Except if your name is Xiaomi and you somehow fuck up the seats so bad the fold down during a crash

[open sigil]

holy shit

for the price its a crazy car though

30k taycan

[dim goblet]

This was the issue lol

[open sigil]

im not mechanically inclined to know what im supposed to see

[dim goblet]

Tiny weenie breaks

[open sigil]

the video sounds like understeer

or no hes sliding

didnt see the whole thing

[dim goblet]

There are clearly mechanical issue when you have breaks this small on a 700hp 2t+ car

[open sigil]

why is he jerking the wheel under braking though

[dim goblet]

Hard to tell but it looks like he made it slide because it didn’t break

Sounds like he’s complaining mashing the brakes, but my Chinese isn’t so great

[open sigil]

buddy couldnt have just pulled the ebrake maybe

💀

nah jerking the wheel like that under braking is actually braindead

[dim goblet]

Bold of you to assume an ev would let you do that, heck, any modern automatic car won’t let you do that

[open sigil]

what car wont let you pull the ebrake in motion?

isnt that half the point of the ebrake

[dim goblet]

For me an ebrake is an automatic parking brake

[open sigil]

even in an auto pulling the ebrake should lock the brakes or make the car slow down extremely aggressively

for the cars with the switch you just hold the switch up and itll slow down

[dim goblet]

Hmm yeah you’re right, I never knew that

[open sigil]

holding the button in a tesla too does the same thing

[dim goblet]

But he probably didn’t think about it going 200kph+ into a wall

You can see there is an issue coming up on the screen tho, so it was clearly the car

And the SU7 has probably the shittiest reputation of all Chinese evs

Crashes, fires, being locked inside, major software issues,…

[open sigil]

at least their marketing works

[dim goblet]

Also quite shady, they used a prototype carbon tub for their 6:46 nordshleife run

https://www.reddit.com/r/cars/s/UnN6CEo3JL it fricking turned off for 12 whole seconds, like yeah it’s fast but a polished car shouldn’t turn off like that

[jaunty sequoia]

What? Chinese manufacturers skimping on safety and quality to cut costs?

Who could have ever predicted that?

[dim goblet]

But I could have sworn they put the finest chinesium in the seat assembly !!

[jaunty sequoia]

I think these brake calipers might be counterfeit too

No way Brembo makes calipers that big to house such tiny pads

[jaunty sequoia]

It's a Taycan in a sense that the design is a complete copy, but compromising on quality and most importantly; safety

As long as fraud is a common business practice in China, I will never willingly drive a Chinese car

[dim goblet]

The su7 ultra almost feels like a throw away car, yeah it has good range but with that discharge rate, I’d be surprised if the cycle count exceeds 150 cycles if it’s constantly doing laps all its life

[hollow radish]

thats wild

[dim goblet]

700hp 2000kg car btw

[hollow radish]

if it was from brake fade since the pad is already small and then tapered so much i dont think the ebrake would do anything, and he probably swerves to try and reduce some speed

unless the ebrake on electric cars does some sort of motor braking? i dont know anything about EVs

[dim goblet]

normally the car is already supposed to use regenerative breaking during normal use

[jaunty sequoia]

EBrakes are usually drums in addition to the normal disks

Pretty much just to stop it from rolling

[dim goblet]

but an emergency regenerative breaking would have its limit since you need to put your energy somewhere

[jaunty sequoia]

Not designed to stop at speed

[jaunty sequoia]

Fuck it, overvolt the headlights

LEDs become laser beams

[hollow radish]

oh okay, i dont think ive owned any vehicle with anything other than a front and rear caliper but no backup brake, just a parking break

[dim goblet]

https://youtu.be/KUfHje4pqyU?si=y1P5VkLFG5vH9iRJ not so wrong actually lmao

[hollow radish]

i thought ebrakes/parking brakes were just a hardwire way to engage the calipers if the pedal or something else malfunctions

[jaunty sequoia]

It's a hardwire to activate the rear drum brakes

Usually cars with rear disk brakes will have rear drums too

[frosty snow]

LMFAO tf are those baby pads…look like rear pads on a Toyota hahaha

[open sigil]

cmon man

[proud tulip]

wow. a very vague and obscure photo cool

[open sigil]

😂 if you know german cars you’ll know what to see in there

[proud tulip]

is it the R badge? 🤣

[open sigil]

it’s a base model a4 with rs badges

[proud tulip]

oh dear god 😂

why do people need to do that?

thats like me taking my EX Coupe and upbadging it to an SI lmfao

it wouldnt make sense

[open sigil]

they’re all misaligned too

nah you gotta put type R

the amount of civic sports i see with type r wings is crazy

[proud tulip]

nahhh wouldnt be believable. they never made Type R coupes 😭 at least not that im aware of

[open sigil]

stuck behind another driver for 5 min at a stop light because they didn’t pull up all the way to the line

kept flashing my lights at them and they finally pulled forward a whole car length to the line and the light goes green

https://tenor.com/view/akselav-angry-porta-door-gif-21959147

[simple bear]

So that's how those sensors work

[open sigil]

some lights have cameras, some have sensors in the ground

[open sigil]

ironic because i think the type r would be better suited as a coupe

for the previous gen at least

this new gen civic i don’t think would look good as a coupe

[proud tulip]

Ikr?!

Sadly i dont forsee honda bringing the 2 door Civic back. Especially now that the Prelude has been confirmed to be making its return. And theres a rumour they are bringing the S2K back as well

The f40 in garage this year

[warm cosmos]

Is that your house?

[hollow radish]

if he has an F40 of his own and hasnt posted a video i would just be offended at this point

[cloud dome]

maybe it was just easier to drop there?

I sometimes just go into the easier one (or closer to the exits because lazy)

[frosty snow]

LOL i wish

[frosty snow]

ikr, fr fr

[open sigil]

that guys always near crashes

[fathom brook]

Lol kith has another bmw collab for a limited edition XM for 200k

Gotta be dumb as hell to buy it for 200k

The M4 collab also tanked a lot in price they were like 120k and now going about 90

[open sigil]

i hope m4s are around 50k by the time i can get one

[fathom brook]

M3/m4 G are already getting into the 50's

[open sigil]

oh nice

if i get one id wanna get one preferably less than 30 or 20k miles

an example like that will prob be high 50s or low 60s

comp xdrive with buckets thats what i need

dont care much for the laser lights

https://www.carfax.com/vehicle/WBS33AZ06RCP27497

would love something like this

[fathom brook]

Oh i meant the base rwd is hitting 50's. Comp xdrive still 60's 70's

[open sigil]

yeah im waiting till fully optioned ones get lower

[open sigil]

this ones perfect except its not xdrive

[fathom brook]

My friend has the buckets in his base m3 manual. Its not that bad but both of us arent that tall so easy for us to fit

He said he liked his supra more than the base m3

[open sigil]

supras are cool

i know an old guy with 176k miles on his 2020 supra

he religiously takes care of it, looks brand new

[open sigil]

i don’t think this one’s growing on anybody

[dim goblet]

RETRO FUTURISTIC BMW ??? Yeah that was NOT on my 2024 bingo

They need to make the grill bigger for it to make sense tho, probably the only time I would say that

[neat isle]

I…

Kinda love it

[open sigil]

it sucks

the cars are losing all their character

designs getting simpler and more blocky

and then the new gen 3 series is just atrocious

[forest ridge]

Interesting

Idk if I like the new one

[frosty snow]

They’re soo good

[proud tulip]

That front is... something

[proud tulip]

Every car brand is sadly 😭

The only one i really like is the 2025 Civic. The new taillights are just

[frosty snow]

Every mainstream Brand

[proud tulip]

Yep pretty much

Its a damn shame too

[neat isle]

Am I the only one that likes that 3 series

Bimmer grill isn’t supposed to be

( ) ( )
