Anyone bought remmy's hoodie? Got a shirt that says "1000hp club" wonder if anyone else got it, prob yes

[open sigil]

for some reason im missing this fuse

supposed to be there

unless this diagram i found online is wrong

im trying to hardwire my dashcam but the fuses dont match up

and i cant properly test which fuses turn off with the car because the motion sensor goes off inside the car and it starts going crazy

[fluid yoke]

Yeah when i was hardwiring had that issue just gotta be quick

@open sigil thanks for the link to the 720s hoodie - got it today and it looks great

[open sigil]

nice

i think ill just try to hardware it again in a few months or hire someone to do it

i have the kit but gave up on it

[frosty snow]

That’s the self drive feature failing

GTA V maybach😂

[open sigil]

man i think he was on something because he was swerving in and out for a while 💀

[fathom brook]

You will not disrespect full self driving. I do that every morning when i go to the gym and back at 7am

[iron hornet]

Mercedes really only sells the luxury models in the US

compared to models available in EU

been a few exceptions to that

thats why

lots of normal class mercedes that arent available outside of EU

[fathom brook]

My 2012 mercedes e350 with 105k miles my father gave is way better than half the cars made even today

A 300hp car from 2012? How many cars even from 2025 have 300hp and with the reliability cause my car is still running fine

We also dont want diesel cars in US

[open sigil]

any modern b58s, 43 amgs, s5 are pretty reliable

not sure about build quality though

[iron hornet]

if you can find one with an EU vin they are fantastic build

the US vins arent as great

they sell both EU-made and US-made in US

[fluid yoke]

You never hardwired before?

Ngl took me a few hours but did get it done

Took a good 30 mins/ hour to get to the fuse box

Also i hope it doesnt happen but hardwire does mean you have recording if an idiot hits your car (was what made me hardwire mine)

[open sigil]

i would like to hardwire but it’s frustrating with this car

i took apart too many panels to tuck wires so i don’t wanna reverse all that again 🤣

i’ll do it at some point though

[dim goblet]

Really bad idea if something shorts out though

[frosty snow]

Mhm

Thts why my AMG is Germany built

CLA and gla and one other was US built

[proud tulip]

[frosty snow]

Parked in the Lines 😂

So clean with no front plate

[simple bear]

I'm waiting for the day whenever every state needs a front plate

[open sigil]

my friend had the holes drilled from the previous owner, rip to him 😂

[open sigil]

now why would you want that

[proud tulip]

doubt thatll happen

[frosty snow]

😭😭😭

[frosty snow]

Amen

We’re tryna get rid of them up here

They cause more damage to fender benders

[proud tulip]

Front plates are dumb anyway tbh

[frosty snow]

And also cost the state twice as much to make

[frosty snow]

Fr so pointless

They think it deters criminals, honey they’ll just steal 2 plates lol

[proud tulip]

pretty much lmfao

[open sigil]

i just think it looks ugly, but i understand the point of being able to easily identify cars from the front too

but it’s too ugly for me to care

[proud tulip]

its incredibly ugly

[open sigil]

it’s not enforced here, just used to pull people over if maybe the cop is suspicious or they did another crime

even though it is technically the law

[proud tulip]

its why i like Michigan. no need for front plates here :P

[simple bear]

Technically prisoners make them

So it costs the state absolutely nothing

[frosty snow]

Material

[simple bear]

It's just aluminium

[fluid yoke]

Luckily i found 2 empty slots one accessory and one power so was not sharing a slot for both some part of the car and dashcam

[gentle osprey]

Wrapped my centre console earlier, waiting on the bits that go above to also wrap in the same stuff

[proud tulip]

Niceeee

[neat isle]

That’s still something. And it’s still double.

And prisoners do get paid

(even though slave labor in prisons is legal 💀)

$2 an hour times a few thousand is still something

And fwiw usually it isn’t prisoners making plates anymore

Automation is a thing and apparently some people were not to be trusted

[jaunty sequoia]

You underestimate how fucked the us prison system is

[neat isle]

yeahhhh I knew bad

but wow lol

But still, plates at least here aren’t usuallyyyy made in prisons

[open sigil]

who needs plates

smh

just drive around with no license plates, scratch all your vin numbers off, double layer 5 percent on all your windows, and spray paint your tail lights, headlights, and brake lights

and remove your cats mufflers resonators

Piano black is just so great

[open sigil]

they couldve just made that part carbon

like how amg does it

not carbon but they have the trim and the piano black buttons between

or just make them physical buttons but thats illegal for new cars now

[frosty snow]

They also have piano black trim

Gross af 🤣

[open sigil]

damn

at least they have the other options

[fathom brook]

[jaunty sequoia]

i saw that earlier today for the first time

and the entire front looks more like an id4 than a golf gti??

[open sigil]

probably alibaba

but everything is really alibaba at the end of the day

[jaunty sequoia]

absolutely fucking not in the car world

[open sigil]

for cosmetic stuff? most of it

[jaunty sequoia]

if you buy brand names, they're likely produced in the same country as the company is founded

[open sigil]

many popular “brand names” suppliers have been found overseas 🤣

[jaunty sequoia]

no, if you buy from enkei or from rocket bunny, they're made in their own factories in japan

when it comes to actual reputable brands, quality is #1 priority

most of those companies made their fame in actual racing

[open sigil]

idk about japanese brands but i can say with confidence most aftermarket german stuff is drop ship

parts for german cars i should say

[jaunty sequoia]

really depends on what you want to mod

if you want widebodies and such, it's mostly japanese companies like rocket bunny and liberty walk

coilovers like bilstein are made in germany

quality brands that became popular because of performance and quality doesn't outsource

[open sigil]

hoods,trunks, spoilers, lips, “carbon”, metal parts like exhausts and down pipes are all dropship

[jaunty sequoia]

they have a reputation to keep and cant afford the posibility of outsourcing impacting quality

[open sigil]

steering wheels etc

[jaunty sequoia]

if you buy from brands that dropship, then you either didn't do your research, or you chose to not pay the premium to get the quality stuff

these brands have deals with racing teams, you can buy the same stuff that they use, but you pay for it too

[open sigil]

even pure turbos comes from china 🤣 one of the biggest for bmws

[frosty snow]

LMFAOOO ikr

[frosty snow]

yea vinyl carbon fibre wrap

[frosty snow]

yea thats the case even with computer chairs at one point

[frosty snow]

yea fr, like you can buy forged rims that are drop shipped, but vossen, brixton, vorsteiner etc have the ones they make in the country they are based in hence the markup

[jaunty sequoia]

imma be honest with you, i've never even heard about pure turbos

but as far as i could find, they're not used for actual professional racing

[jaunty sequoia]

after some research; not all pure turbos are manufactured in china, it really depends on application and price point. i'd imagine that a turbo for a bmw 320i is manufactured in china as the engine can't be pushed harder than the turbo can take. But for porsche and mclaren, i can almost guarantee that those turbos are made in house, or at the very least through another partnering brand

[frosty snow]

yep, alot of the performance ones are built in house

even superchargers are made in house, or ppl that rebuild engine block to push more performance

very hard to dropship those as its car specific which requires R&D each time

[jaunty sequoia]

exactly my point

getting something that's dropshipped is 100% a choice

i'm not saying that you have to pay the premium, and buy from the most expensive brands, but the real deal stuff that's actually quiality is more expensive because it's not made in china or dropshipped

[frosty snow]

if its the carbon steering wheels, alot of aftermarket dropship those, so you can have the markup and purcahse urself, but anything mechanical or internal, best to go to the shop. Just look at exhaust companies (FI, IPE, AK, Capristo, Valvetronic) they all do their own in house hence the premium they all have

[jaunty sequoia]

i wouldn't buy a steering wheel at discount, but wraps and body panels, go crazy

i wouldn't want my steering wheel bending or breaking while in motion

[frosty snow]

Yea 🤣

[jaunty sequoia]

tbh, as long as i'm not actually racing, i don't fully see the problem with rep wheels

ofc, it has to be a reputable company like Japan Racing, so don't go and buy the cheapest

[open sigil]

all except valvetronic 😂

Thoughts

[forest ridge]

better then this

[proud tulip]

Interesting 👀

GR86 competes against what tho in terms of Subaru?

Because Subaru makes primarily SUVs these days dont they?

[shrewd topaz]

Well the GR86 and BRZ were basically the same platform, they both used suburus boxer engine, now it looks like they're parting ways and working with Mazda, which I'm happy about cause Subaru engines kinda doodoo.

So it's not so much competing just "friendship ended with Subaru, New best friend is Mazda"

[proud tulip]

Ahhhhh okay makes sense. Isnt Subaru killing off the BRZ anyway? Ik they shutdown the Legacy production after 2024s run ended as far as im aware.

Mazda has some pretty solid cars honestly

[jaunty sequoia]

Boxer engine is dead 🦀🦀🦀🦀

[proud tulip]

Google says otherwise though. Subaru and Porsche both still use boxer engines

The wifes '16 Forester XT has it. And its actually kinda nice. Decent power for an SUV engine. Plus the turbo too

[forest ridge]

Next is led bar but I think I’ll take it to a professional to get it installed

[jaunty sequoia]

Porsche's boxer engines are actually good

But the boxer is dead in the gr86

Muffler and cat delete

[proud tulip]

[proud tulip]

On a 4 cyclinder engine? Your insane 🤣

More like... make the car even more quiet

[frosty snow]

Bro, cats delete would be smelly

Just do muffler and resonator

Resonator keeps it more throaty

[proud tulip]

Smelly on 4 cyclinder engine is never a good idea lmao

Maybe V8 yeah. But a 4 cyclinder? Absolutely not

[open sigil]

i tried a catless downpipe on my car

turbo sound was amazing but overall exhaust very raspy with the stock muffler

the smell wasn’t that bad

auto start stop helped a lot

would sound less raspy without the resonator but i don’t wanna cut that off

[proud tulip]

Id have to look into how the exhaust on my Civic is even setup honestly. I believe the cat is part of the exhaust manifold? Thats how the 2004s was setup. But im not sure how the 2010s is setup. Gotta google

[open sigil]

probably not worth it for a na 4cylinder

PEUGEOT PARTNER MENTIONED

WHAT THE FUCK IS A RELIABLE CAR 🦅 🦅 🦅 🔥 🔥 🔥 🇫🇷 🔥

[open sigil]

I turn now

[neat isle]

ok but why 50 and accelerating into intersection full of idiots and bright signs

they stupid for turning then tho

[jaunty sequoia]

nah, you're going way too fast into that intersection

i'm not someone who blames speed a lot, but you're supposed to go slow enough to safely react to things like that

[open sigil]

it’s a 45 zone lol

i’m going 50

it’s their red they see me at the intersection and decide to go through anyways 🤣

doesn’t matter if i’m going 5 over

[frosty snow]

Ye

You have right of way

[simple bear]

It also turned yellow when he entered the intersection so he should've proceeded with caution

[dim goblet]

Not really though ? Yellow doesn’t matter in that case

[simple bear]

You clearly don't know US traffic laws

[dim goblet]

I do not indeed, but please explain why you should be more cautious on a yellow compared to a green light, I know right hand turns are allowed on red, but it would be the same case if the light was green ?

[open sigil]

you don’t either 😭

that’s a flashing yellow

not a solid

very different

[simple bear]

It was solid

[open sigil]

flashing yellow is proceed with caution

yellow is slow down or speed up

[simple bear]

So is solid yellow

That was solid yellow

[open sigil]

the only purpose of a yellow light is to tell you it’s turning red

[simple bear]

In the COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA

A solid yellow light means proceed with caution or prepare to stop, it's up to you how you want to interpret it

[proud tulip]

looked pretty reckless regardless of who was at fault either way to be fair

also 5 over speed limit is still speeding btw

and is still illegal

and a ticketable offense

especially if you get into an accident because of it

just remember that :P

[open sigil]

the other guy runs through a red and you wanna point out i’m going 5 over 😂

[simple bear]

Also a flashing yellow light only happens when it turns midnight. Because then it becomes a yield sign

So uh

You were wrong

[open sigil]

good knowledge you can use that on your driving test

[proud tulip]

i mean unless you cant turn RIGHT on RED in California which that does appear to be a RIGHT TURN, yes im gonna point it out

i dont know traffic laws in California so i cant say if they are in the wrong or not .

in Michigan you can absolutely turn right on red unless it otherwise says you cannot

like say at an intersection containing on and off ramps to freeways. you cannot turn right on red after getting off the freeway at such a light here

but anyway

[simple bear]

It's common sense

*Oh wait

You don't have any*

[proud tulip]

i dont really care much to continue this conversation so

[open sigil]

you turn right on red after you slow down and make sure it’s clear 😂😂

those of you that actually drive must be saints never even 1mph over

i should go to jail for 5 over 😱

[proud tulip]

now now. i didnt say that

you dont wanna know what speeds i go on the freeway here 😂

[open sigil]

so you wanna come at me for being barely over 🤣

when u say stuff like that

[proud tulip]

Yeah but... Freeways here are already 70MPH soooo

80-90 isnt even terrible on a freeway. Especially when others do 100+ lmao

But anyways. This conversations getting boring so im gonna drop it here

[open sigil]

so 20 over in a 70 is fine but 5 over in a 45 isn’t 💔

[neat isle]

nah the speed itself isn’t that bad

it’s the acceleration around a curve into an intersection that scares me

Not gonna say you’re stupid or anything but uhhhhh I wouldn’t be doing that

you find so many crazy drivers you’d think to expect them by now, no? I mean it’s southern cali so like people are idiots

[open sigil]

i pray none of you ever become insurance adjusters

[open sigil]

Now this is where you’re just hating 😂

[neat isle]

No I’m just saying there’s a lot of idiot drivers so you should expect them

[jaunty sequoia]

Do y'all not learn to adjust speed to the situation despite what the limit is?

[open sigil]

i want you to tell me if you should turn right on red if a car is actively coming into an intersection

that’s all there is to it

[jaunty sequoia]

I'm not saying you're 100% at fault, but you should keep a safe speed to adjust to unexpected stuff happening

[open sigil]

at that difference of speed even if i brake i will hit them 🤷🏽‍♂️

99 percent of the time someone wouldn’t go through there

[jaunty sequoia]

Please refer to the chart

It's not about stopping completely, it's about having the time to divert safely

And you swerving into another lane is not safe...

[open sigil]

[wise mirage]

Damn that’s crazy

I’ve had to put mine in my shed for now

Back to day shift and I’m trying to pay off debt so I can’t really afford any modifications on it for now

[open sigil]

i get some nice upshift sounds too, but kinda quiet cuz the 5 series exhaust is so muffled

[open sigil]

dam

[wise mirage]

Yeah that’s my biggest gripe with the 5 series

[open sigil]

i might see about removing the resonater to free up some restriction

[wise mirage]

It’s my own fault irresponsible spending but I gotta pay it off if I ever wanna get a tune for the car

[wise mirage]

No don’t it makes it sound like dookie you’ll want to get a downpipe and muffler

[open sigil]

my friend with a 540i got a resonater delete and it doesnt sound bad

sounds like stock but a bit louder

[wise mirage]

Maybe the one I heard had some other stuff done to it

Cause it did not sound good LOL

[open sigil]

his sounds pretty much like stock

[wise mirage]

I see

[open sigil]

with this new tcu tune i did a 4.6 0-60

pretty crazy for a rwd low output b58 in a big 5 series

[wise mirage]

What year is yours again?

[open sigil]

21

im gonna get the dme unlocked this summer hopefully

[wise mirage]

Oh shit do you have the locked ECU?

Yeah lol

[open sigil]

yea unfortunately

[wise mirage]

That sucks

I could never trust anyone with my DME

[open sigil]

im either gonna take a week vacation from work or get a cheap rental for a week LOL

[wise mirage]

That’s my excuse for having 2 BMW’s

[open sigil]

its pretty easy to send it thru DHL, theres also euro performance center that literally has a guy fly out to finland with a pelican case full of DMEs

[wise mirage]

Ones my beater

And then my X3

My beater one is actually playing nice which is making me nervous

It’s at 177k miles now

Replace head gasket OFHG timing chain guide VANOS solenoid and thermostat

[wise mirage]

Nothing crazy happening so far

[open sigil]

ai generated footage of a closed course in autobahn, mexico for anyone that asks

[wise mirage]

How much did XHP cost?

Did you have any prereqs for it too?

[open sigil]

480

[wise mirage]

Euro?

[open sigil]

usd

[wise mirage]

Fuck

[open sigil]

you dont need anything to flash xhp

[wise mirage]

Yea imma wait

Does XHP affect manual or just sport trans?

[open sigil]

you can configure it however you want

in comfort it shifts like butter and in s+ its crazy

[wise mirage]

Are you gonna do MHD or BM3?

[open sigil]

some of the biggest convenience stuff, in comfort D mode i have it to take off in 2nd gear and stays in 2nd gear in traffic

no more annoying 1-2 2-1 shifts

[wise mirage]

Oh that’s nice

[open sigil]

MHD

[wise mirage]

I’d probably just stage 1 mine

I’m not looking for anything crazy in a SUV

[open sigil]

and i can actually turn off start-stop, with these new mild hybrids they physically blanked the button so you cant turn off start stop with bimmercode

[wise mirage]

Oh what the hell

I was gonna say bimmercode

But aight

[open sigil]

stage 1 doesnt make the shifts any harder

just adds some comfort stuff

[wise mirage]

No I was talking about stage one for MHD

[open sigil]

id recommend stage 2 bc it makes comfort better while also making sport better too

ahh i see

[wise mirage]

I don’t wanna go crazy on the actual engine tunes for a SUV

[open sigil]

im a crazy guy so im going straight to stage 2 🤣

[wise mirage]

I’m saving that for when I get a fun sedan again

[open sigil]

but im not gonna go on E for a while

[wise mirage]

Yea I can’t do E off the rip for mine

I’d need to replace the HPFP and I’m not interested in that

[open sigil]

i also get the gear number in all modes

so in comfort itll tell me the gear which is awesome

[wise mirage]

Oh it does that for mine stock

I don’t know why BMW changed that

[open sigil]

yeah in mine it doesnt

and you cant even bimmercode it

[wise mirage]

G chassis in bimmercode is dogshit imo

F chassis has so much more options

[open sigil]

having auto stop finally off is amazing though

needed a whole tcu tune for it 🤣

[wise mirage]

Must still be with how new the chassis is still

[wise mirage]

I bet, that shit would piss me off I turned mine off on day one.

[open sigil]

is your x3 not g chassis?

[wise mirage]

G01

Early G Chassis so there is even less options

I just know the F Chassis has more since I have a F30

[open sigil]

xhp has so many options man

if you go on their website you can see all the stuff you can do

[wise mirage]

Aight I’ll have to take a look

Maybe later this summer

[open sigil]

i didnt think my 540 could make shift sounds

but it does

[wise mirage]

That’s a B58 thing.

Not a car specific

Once you free up the exhaust it’ll sound even better

[open sigil]

i mean with the way the exhaust is set up

[wise mirage]

Even then I think it’s a trans thing

Oh I see

[open sigil]

its ignition cut shifting

combined with torque reduction

[wise mirage]

I see

[open sigil]

but once i free up more of the exhaust itll sound nuts

[wise mirage]

For sure

I’ve been meaning to get a CAI for my X3 first since I hear turbo noises it’s just not loud enough for my liking

I know it doesn’t add any HP I don’t mine I just wanna hear the turbo lol

[open sigil]

i tried an intake but it eventually gave me an engine light

[wise mirage]

Yeah you have to turn it off in MHD

try it again when you tune

[open sigil]

eh idk

the stock box is always the best performer

[wise mirage]

Yeah true

[open sigil]

with the hood open mine sounds nuts even with the silencer on it

and thats the stock airbox

and then when i had my intake

[wise mirage]

Sick man

Hey my engine doesn’t move like that when I accelerate is your engine mounts alright?

[open sigil]

old vid from when they were bad

[wise mirage]

I gotta get ready for work @open sigil I’ll talk to you later man

[open sigil]

i actually just got them replaced today 🤣

[wise mirage]

Called it

How did they go bad? It’s a 21?

[open sigil]

thats my coworkers 2020 m340

💀

[wise mirage]

Yo dawg WTH 😭

[open sigil]

engine tryna leave the car

[wise mirage]

Must be a sedan thing?

[open sigil]

im not sure

but replaced under warranty

[wise mirage]

That’s nice atleast

[open sigil]

ill catch u later 👍

[wise mirage]

@open sigil

Pretty rare Bluetooth spec for early F30 that I have

Had to activate it and everything it requires a module that’s wired all the way to the trunk

[open sigil]

what year is it again

[wise mirage]

2014 but it was manufactured in July of 2013

F30 started in 2012

@open sigil ^

Technically E92 didn’t end until late 2012 when F30 started early 2012

Since the E92 M3 w/ the NA V8 ended production late 2012

Wanna get my hands on a last production E92 M3 so bad. They have everything a early F30 has but it’s in the E92 Chassis which has much better quality and has a higher version of the Infotainment where you can install CarPlay since it has navigation built into the car.

Also just the E9X Chassis in general was BMW’s last chassis that offered a 6 Cyl Turbo Diesel and a 6Cyl NA Gas engine in the 328

[open sigil]

i seen some e92 m3s listed for crazy prices

they’re smoking with them prices

like 60k+

[kindred shell]

here they're about 50 grand

but you need to be wary of the v8

since if not looked after the engine can be expensive

[fathom brook]

The V8 in bmws have never been reliable

My friend had a 550i and he said its his worst regret. His cayenne GTS has had no issues in 10 years. His dad gave it to him cause his bmw kept breaking down

[proud tulip]

[fathom brook]

Dont get me started on tacoma owners that think they got a godly truck. Met a few

[open sigil]

the n63 has been regarded as one of their worst engines but newer versions of it arent bad

like 2021+ m550i

fixed most of the major issues

2020+ has the last iteration of the n63 which is on TU3

[fathom brook]

Dont take the risk like the 4 banger german engines

[jaunty sequoia]

top gear top tip

stay away from anything BMW that isn't an inline 6

[frosty snow]

My friends in SoCal w dde atm

Love tht, u guys all drive ur cars , cgt 812c etc

Ontario just garage queens

[fathom brook]

Its called rented in LA

Saw the same orange mclaren 3 times in my area driven by different dudes. When i went to return my turo car i saw the mclaren on the lot for rent

[open sigil]

@wise mirage

[wise mirage]

The N/A S65 is great, just rod bearing issues.

[wise mirage]

Damn not bad but chill in those residential areas man 😭

[open sigil]

🤣🤣

i waited till everyone was gone

[open sigil]

first time hearing the shifts

[gentle osprey]

Reminds me, I need a new exhaust to free up the ponys

[dim goblet]

That’s allowed in the UK ?

At least in EU we have pretty strict sound and exhaust particles regulations

[gentle osprey]

Yeah, I used to run a 3" turbo back with a 100 cell cat on an old car

[dim goblet]

you know there is an f1 casual topic right

it's kinda late

[fluid yoke]

Saw once yesterday think it was first time but what is it about the car as ive never heard of it. Is it bad?

[dim goblet]

it's the Fisker Ocean, brand went bankrupt about 2 years ago

https://youtu.be/6xWXRk3yaSw?si=_3Yq9zL48WYXC5SH

basically marques could be attribuated to the death of the company

https://youtu.be/b_OxgAYG0Io?si=YLKPrEEpChayEHHK

and like they're becoming dirt cheap because there are no service centers left, propeatary software, so if it's bricked you've got a pretty 70k undrivable brick sitting in your driveway

[kindred shell]

the car was shit anyway lol

[dim goblet]

well yeah it's the reason they went bankrupt lol, I'd still be pretty pissed if I bought one

[neat isle]

I’m really good at the Gas Game

[open sigil]

plot twist he went inside and prepaid 25 on the pump

[frosty snow]

So impatient

[neat isle]

Telling you to put yo phone away

Hahaha you wish

I hit it almost every time

Always 20 or 25

[open sigil]

[neat isle]

you better be filling a 30gal tank all the way

Well

25gal

[open sigil]

i think i fill up like 16 or 17

but like almost 5 bucks a gallon

[neat isle]

sheesh

3.29 is mid here

I’ve seen 2.999 in recent memory

[open sigil]

i’ve been enjoying this new transmission tune so my gas is also terrible rn

last fill up was 330 miles range

i usually get like 460-470

[neat isle]

I wanna hypermile

Not necessarily to save money just for fun

[open sigil]

that was me when i first got this car

[dim goblet]

Nah justified, the guy who took the video is a left lane hogger

In most of Europe you can’t overtake from the right, it pisses me off when people hog the left lane

[jaunty sequoia]

Middle lane is empty, why aren't you moving?

[open sigil]

ego too big for the other car to just go around

[dim goblet]

https://youtu.be/GM1jykE_Cbc?si=F8Ubu6lvxSV8c2ff

[fathom brook]

Just left honolulu and when i went to fill back up the rental the 87 at costco was 4$ and premium 4.20

Makes no sense their regular and premium are so close in price

[frosty snow]

There were 2 lanes in my left open

[proud tulip]

have you seen the price tag? 😂 its pretty insane

[dim goblet]

Finally stellantis doing something else than shooting itself in the foot

[dim goblet]

Well it’s only been in production for barely 5 months, but yeah in general I’d agree it’s not gonna be selling like hot cakes

Imo way too expensive and corny, especially for a really mid interior

[dim goblet]

What the hell is my school parking lot

This is the second fisher wth, it’s pretty rare too, only 3k examples

Down bad https://driveteslacanada.ca/news/tesla-launches-cybertruck-leasing-in-canada-with-0-down/

Even if it's dirt cheap, why would Canadians of all people want to buy the least reliable, least practical and most expensive vehicle produced by the company whose CEO hates them and actively colluding in hostile actions along with the us govt?

Getting a Cybertruck in Canada would be social suicide

[dim goblet]

Cuz Canada makes so many cars

I don’t see how it would be more of a social suicide than the US

If anything at least you won’t get your car destroyed by random people

We leased our Y with 0$ down. I dont get why canada wasnt allowed to do it before

[cloud dome]

Also, do they even work on snow?
Ive seen hilarious clips of those things not even being able to get off a parking spot on the street

[jaunty sequoia]

i know which videos you're talking about, but i think that's more driver error than anything

the driver just flooring it on deep loose snow

[cloud dome]

That would probably be me (has never driven on snow)

But it did make me wonder

[dim goblet]

Cuz like they have butt loads of torque at very low RPM, I don’t see why it wouldn’t work

[frosty snow]

2 cars LOL that’s it hahaha

Project arrow which is overpriced af and this other race one based in Montreal 🤣🤣🤣

Nothing the average person can ever afford

[jaunty sequoia]

It's not about where the companies are registered, but where they're built

Some cars that are built there is the Chevrolet Silverado, Toyota Rav 4, Dodge charger/Challenger and Lexus NX/RX

[dim goblet]

@open sigil

[frosty snow]

theyre built in canada, tahts why

like pure canadian

[dim goblet]

Tf does pure Canadian mean

It’s pretty much impossible to get a car only made from a single origin unless it’s Chinese

[jaunty sequoia]

Even China has to import some stuff from abroad

Still gonna say zero emissions vehicles in North America are a bad idea

goodbye, power grid

hello, power plant emissions

Let’s just run semi-electric with propane or natural gas or similar generators

[proud tulip]

Hybrid.

[open sigil]

car unlocks/locks/remote starts just fine with the key, but when pushing the start stop button, says key is missing 🤔

and then when the key is up to the steering column, still cant detect it

replaced the battery the key, tried the spare, same issue

hopefully its a battery issue and leaving it on the trickle charger overnight fixes it

the other possibility is the comfort access module is borked and that will be a costly repair but its in warranty

car still lets me start with the digital key though

[dim goblet]

https://www.instagramez.com/reel/DHuTTXYxZZP/?

[fathom brook]

What did i just watch

[jaunty sequoia]

i'm gonna go out on a limb and say that this is a more "fix your power grid" issue and less off a "EVs bad" issue

[dim goblet]

@jaunty sequoia this stat is fucking crazy

[jaunty sequoia]

What happened with Ford in the early 2010s???

is ther anything more to say

[jaunty sequoia]

the only one profiting from those tarrifs might actually be tesla

not corruption at all

why has renault been losing value????

they don't even sell in the US????

[dim goblet]

it literally hurts american component makers, it also hurts american cars built in mexico like the ford Mach e and maverick are both mexico too

thing is that it applies to the place it's built, not the percentage of foreign components, toyota rav4 is built in canada with mostly US components

[jaunty sequoia]

the first round of tariffs got canceled because car dealerships struggled to sell normal cars at increased prices, and now they've gone and done a car specific tariff...

[dim goblet]

when ?

[jaunty sequoia]

ironically enough, it's mostly honda and toyota that makes normal cars within the US

not US based companies

[dim goblet]

Hundai also spent like 13bn to build steel+ car factory on us soil, they're getting messed up hard

[jaunty sequoia]

seems like the us needs brands like dacia that can take on the 25% price increase and still be cheaper than the competition

ironically enough, that will only ruin the market even more

[dim goblet]

yeah if they're not changing anything the whole US car industry will be (maybe irreversibly) fucked

[jaunty sequoia]

the few cars that are not affected will take advantage and increase their price because their competition has to be 25% more expensive, therefore theirs can be 20% more and still sell

even though tesla isn't affected, they will still struggle since nobody wants to buy their cars anymore

half the country hates elon, and the other loves elon but hates the concept of EVs

[dim goblet]

and the used market will follow and yada yada everybody is mad

[jaunty sequoia]

it's pretty much gonna be covid all over again

[dim goblet]

manus are mad
dealers are mad
consumers are mad
banks are mad

[neat isle]

Because those seats aren’t meant for long rides

People use them for it though which is dumb

[dim goblet]

Oh yeah for long trip you need a bigger car of course

[jaunty sequoia]

Exactly my point

Trucks aren't family vehicles, and shouldn't be used as such

Thus, trucks with more than 1 row of seats shouldn't exist

[neat isle]

The second row should exist if you need to say, bring 3-5 people to a store to load stuff into the back

Or to go somewhere quick

Trucks should not have full-size rear seats tho

no point

But for quick hops jumpseats are very useful

[proud tulip]

They always have though.

i used to be a convertible hater

i can’t lie i kinda love this

[proud tulip]

Id rather just have a sunroof

[open sigil]

i like the sunroof better, but as a weekend type of car a convertible is super nice ngl

[proud tulip]

Idk ive never really liked convertibles honestly. Ive always preferred sunroofs

Though i wouldnt say no to a car with the T-Tops 👀

[simple bear]

So Corvette or Trans Am?

[frosty snow]

[open sigil]

i was a convertible hater till i tried one

[proud tulip]

Thats fair honestly lol

I just dont want my hat to fly off my head 😂

Which might still happen with a sunroof anyway

[open sigil]

soft top is butt ugly

but the feeling of driving with the top down is amazing

[proud tulip]

Theres also the reduced protection in a soft top in a rollover accident too

I mean ig ideally with a T-Top car or car with runroof theres less protection too

But not as bad anyway

[dreamy sail]

Yeah he can let it redline but damn

[open sigil]

just don’t crash

i believe there is a bar that comes out almost instantly if the car detects it’s rolling over

those bars behind the rear headrest

I used to be a "its not a japanese car why buy it" hater. Then i drove some nicer cars and made $$$

I still have friends that will only buy a japanese car cause they think its the only reliable cars. And i have friends that will only buy american cars because "america"

[dim goblet]

well yeah or else it would cost millions lol, and anways you can't really own an f1 car with the original engine
Cody said he will put an engine in it though

[kindred shell]

i guess he'll look for a JUDD V10 so it sounds like an F1 car

[dim goblet]

probably Tour de Force https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AC231U35EII, they put "easy to run and maintain" engines in vintage f1s

the tolerances of an actual f1 engine are so tight the pistons cannot move when the engine is cold, you need a motor oil heating unit to get it up to temp

it starts at 850k pound because it's all a big custom job of course

[fathom brook]

Put a Z06 engine in there to get F1 vroom vroom sounds

[dim goblet]

not really

needs to be at least 18k rpm revving with a special header config with a certain firing order

I think the name is absolutely genius, ICE= internal combustion engine, T= Tesla and the car is wrapped in Icetea colors

[warm cosmos]

[open sigil]

@dim goblet

i dont even wanna click on it

WTF

[proud tulip]

Probably

[dim goblet]

2 guys one coupe

[open sigil]

the caption is the craziest to me

comparing a 230i to a m3

if it’s the same gearbox tuning as the 430i i had it’s a joke

the shifts were actually unbearably slow even in the most sporty settings

[open sigil]

if i had known the fix was that easy i wouldn’t have gone to the dealer

at least it was free and they gave me a loaner

plus they’re close to my work and school

[jaunty sequoia]

2011 is pretty much brand new to be a military vehicle

Who is selling it and why?

[dim goblet]

US probably

idk i saw it in a post

[jaunty sequoia]

Militaries usually keep vehicles in use until they're uneconomical to repair, and then 20 more years

[dim goblet]

how would you keep your military costing 800bn to maintain a year then ?

there is the culprit

it has 3300 miles, it's probably very broken

actually im seeing a bunch of stuff with barely 8-10k mi

[frosty snow]

Snowstorm

[proud tulip]

But... its spring 😂

[frosty snow]

Snow till may for us

[proud tulip]

At this point Michigan might end up staying in the 40s and 50s till about then too lol

Weathers crazy right now

[plucky shadow]

I can't tell the difference

[warm cosmos]

@open sigil did you call insurance about the windshield

[open sigil]

not yet

it’s my moms car she gotta do it 🤣

[open sigil]

these g series kits for f series gotta be illegal

the fact that they purchased this and paid to get it paint matched and installed is mind boggling

[jaunty sequoia]

I can understand F bumpers for G series, but not the other way around

[open sigil]

that shouldn’t be a thing either

think this is my new favorite wheel

963m

maybe i’ll buy a set from alibaba

[jaunty sequoia]

If you're asking me, the g80 m3 grille shouldn't be a thing at all

I don't blame people for fitting a previous gen bumper if it means one less g80 grille on the road

[open sigil]

i don’t hate it

csl grille + front lip on g8x looks amazing imo

like this

[fathom brook]

My parents totalled their E350 some kids like sadat were on their phone and hit the back of the car. And now these tariffs gonna make it $$$$ to get a new car

Maybe i'll give my dad my E350 i can get by with the corvette and tesla i guess

[dim goblet]

isn't insurance paying for it ?

[fathom brook]

Yeah but the problem is tariff increases wont be seen for atleast another 2 weeks in the market and insurance is giving us current market price of 8400 for the cars worth

[dim goblet]

ouch

[fathom brook]

Which isnt bad for a 2010 E350 with 110k miles and the car had some paint issues

And the car was crashed 3 times cause my mom cant drive. So 8400 isnt a bad offer they gave

[jaunty sequoia]

Was this car bought new?

[dim goblet]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8y7OpBN-AVw

[fathom brook]

Bought in 2012 jan for 35k it had 45k miles so we had it for awhile

We got our moneys worth i guess

[jaunty sequoia]

Then you should probably buy another used car that isn't affected by tariffs

And avoid dealerships at all cost

[dim goblet]

yeah quikcly before the second hand market eventually raises their price

[fathom brook]

I dont think any car will not be impacted except tesla because their dealer model

Saw porsche and bmw dealers already increased their entire inventory for used prices

One guy posted a 911 went up 10k in msrp this week cause the tariffs

[dim goblet]

that doesn't even make sense, they didn't even pay it becuse it's already been imported

[fathom brook]

Just cause its on the lot and they know prices are going to go up they should bake in the cost now with current inventory. More profit for them

Thats why dealership model sucks

[dim goblet]

well to be honest we don't have these kinds of markup here

it's a US thing

[jaunty sequoia]

Aren't y'all are also forced to buy the car as is from the dealer? here you can order a brand new one and spec it exactly how you want

[dim goblet]

@open sigil more cursed https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1338605375959863446/1357350943770808410/image0.jpg?ex=67efe313&is=67ee9193&hm=3276d5ac2f8e617290689b2698f53bf8f4fb9e5e43eabcbc28cd63ef07ce6147&

[open sigil]

what the hell

[open sigil]

??? what

[frosty snow]

Rip

[hollow radish]

shots fired

[fathom brook]

Yeah they were some college kids in a mercedes

[open sigil]

i’ve never hit anyone while driving

[fathom brook]

We are except for tesla they dont do a dealer model you can buy their cars online

[proud tulip]

yet*

never say never Sadat

[open sigil]

it’s a true statement

[frosty snow]

80k ish

For gt3rs

[frosty snow]

Nope I ordered mine from Germany

[fathom brook]

The new 911 S pricing came out and its a 30k msrp increase from the 2024 model

[frosty snow]

The ones dealer optioned and have on their floor are different than customer allocations

[proud tulip]

for now yeah. but again. never say never. it could happen

anything could happen

anything is possible

:P

[frosty snow]

Same, but I had an idiot reverse into me on the highway offramp

We can’t control stupid

Just ourselves

[fathom brook]

Reverse

[open sigil]

yeah i’ve had someone reverse into me before

but i have never hit anyone

[frosty snow]

Ya same

[open sigil]

dunno why he coming after me 🤣

[fathom brook]

I meant cause they a college kid in a luxury car

[frosty snow]

My car runs pilot sports Michelin, my feet run continental

[open sigil]

i don’t drive a luxury car

[fathom brook]

How is a bmw 540 not a luxury boat

[open sigil]

it’s not real

ai car

[frosty snow]

I said the same thing and got humbled so quick

Cause a Benz or a BMW is already considered luxury

When I was using the standard, it’s not a top performance model or this guy has a Porsche, etc.

They have a point because most people don’t have cars, let alone a German one at a young age and most people in the world still have to commute

[open sigil]

porsche owners are so snobby

[frosty snow]

Yeah, especially the base model Porsche owners

🤣🤣🤣🤣
