TRUTH
Lmao
glad I don't have to deal with that
but I have to deal with salesmen asking me where a car key is that I've personally handed them half an hour prior
Im glad I dont work at a dealership anymore
Being independent is amazing
working at a dealership has its ups and downs
"off topic garage"
Gay
FỄckin thing isnt even fast, the pacifica i was driving this morning is faster than this POS
It's a dodge what do you expect
My boss still has his 2008 with a lift kit and he's almost done with it and I can't wait for him to sell it only for him to replace it with a powerstroke
The newer Pacificas are surprisingly fast, these things can scoot
That's good
Imagine a W16 QT swapped pacifica
Sienna>>>>Pacifica
Aunt has a brand new sienna, already wants to get rid of it for a jeep again
SUV screams karen after all
I clean for a 3 in one real estate, construction and nerd number runners and it's own by a family and they all have a GMC Denali
Well...she kinda is
Most Mopar made stuff is nowadays
Reason: Bad word usage
Ahh i forgor. Forgive me
Tldr: rich white teen was driving a tahoe with rims wider than the car
Sadly people will want to make a vehicle look as stupid as possible
I seen some of those
but changing any kind of rims on anything just looks awful and that money goes down the drain when you hit a crater
I get it if you want to make it more utility like the utility bed on a pick up or stacks of storage on a small trailer
Some aftermarket rims arnt that bad, but shit like that ram is ugly af
When all that tells you is that they got extra doubloons to spend
Among other things
I would have bought a GR Yaris
I want a sti but the top gear rpm is the same as what I already have basically
Which sucks
80mph is 3.2k rpm
top speed 80mph?
where i live 55mph is 80mph 90 percent of the time
hence why it's annoying
car chugs down so much gas
work had me like
real
Thought you were rocking Ravens for a sec
I have finally got a pic of the chevy my boss was telling me now I got the exact details and it's a 1968 C20 with a 327 cubic inch
what are ravens
I'm sure he didn't mean the bird
Nope a glove brand like glove works and what not
Seen the new zr1x?
The 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X is a new,, elite-level hybrid hypercar featuring a 1,250-horsepower powertrain, combining a 5.5L twin-turbo V8 with an electric front axle (eAWD). It achieves 0-60 mph in 1.89 seconds (or 1.68s on a prepared surface) with a top speed over 230 mph. It starts at over $200,000 and focuses on top-tier aerodynamic, street-legal performance.
Overview has a few errors but thats still pretty insane for a production car
HEY HOMIE ITS A Z61 CHECK THE BADGE
I mean yeah, all the newer corvettes look the exact same
The zo6, zx1, and zr1x all have the same engine/body with pretty minimal difference
CHECK THE BADGE ITS A Z61 HOMIE ITS A Z61
You mean a ZO6?
Or are you trying to say a Z51
ZO6 would make sense because thats pretty much what the zr1x is, an amped up ZO6
Can we get the tri rotor corvette please

When Axel told us he was bringing a very special Corvette to the Goodwood Festival of Speed, we had no idea he would arrive with a 3 Rotor Mazda RX7 engined version of this drift car. The Corvette C6 has become popular as a drift chassis, but people usually leave the LS3 motor in there. This is the first time someone has taken the RX7 turbo engi...
@wise sonnet
yea Z51
Eh, theres a fair bit of difference, still kinda the same body style but not quite
Z51 is more of a c8 while zx1r is more of a zo6, which doesn't really matter because they're all pretty much the same base but different engines/features and minor visual/aero differences
Tbf corvettes are actually well made cars

@ornate zealot did you hear they came out with 94 octane fuel you can get at some gas stations now
Probably stupid expensive
more ethanol
apparently not
it still only contains 10 percent ethanol
at least according to sunoco whos selling it
seems only slightly more expensive than premium
but the difference between 93 and 94 is not that big
i guess if you import a car from japan you can actually run it at the full oem performance levels since 94 is the standard there for premium
I hate people that buy aftermarket rims with the allen head screws holding the center cap because they almost NEVER take any kind of care of them so that way when they come off for the first time in months they stick horribly and snap off 90% of the time no matter how careful you are

All it takes is a little anti-seize or just back them off and on every now and then, maybe a little bit of lubricant while taking them off
MY COLLARâS BLUE BUT MAH NECK IS REDDDDD
this is a REAL working MAN
Hell yah brother
me putting 102 in my yaris
real men drive toyota yaris
buddy
2009 Yaris 1.33l 6 speed manual, 2 door
same engine they used in an Aston Martin btw
Does it have a turbo
1.33l, 101hp
no turbo but reliable af
"built ford tough" is a joke compared to built toyota tough
while Ford is shooting themselves in the foot with the wet belts, toyota switched to timing chain on all models
the hybrids dont even have an accessory belt
wish it was the 1.8 ts instead of the 1.33
atleast its not the 1.0
Turbos are overrated
theyre not bad
get more power from a smaller engine
quite common thanks to taxes
especially eastern europe
Turbos are fun
Reason: Bad word usage
Ive just been exposed to too many idiots making their trucks sound like spaceships because the turbo is louder than the engine
At 5mph
Diesel moment
Dont get me wrong, i can appreciate a nice turbo, but most people just make it obnoxious
I personally prefer pro chargers or a supercharger
I get the appeal but it just seems mostly worse especially with smaller turbos
Like the efr 6258 is one of the fastest spooling turbos you can get
And it spools almost instantly
Itâs only really rated for smaller engines up to 400hp but still
End of the day its all preference
True
In the Miata community some people swear by the rotrex
Say itâs way better than turbos
Personally I doubt it but bro is confident
I'm gonna buy a hayabusa and turbo it
(highly unlikely)
but I gotta get that bike license
I either ride bike and be happy or I crash bike and no more sad
Ive been looking at a 2013 triumph 675r or a 2016 kawasaki zx10r
It will be Ford built as the creepy uncle
I could start next year, get it done then I can ride a tuned down bike until I'm 24 then I can ride whatever
you could do it manual
They donât make them manual
Youâd have to cut the car up pretty heavily to make it manual
they don't, you could
if the money are no problem
cut there, cut here, polish and finish
Not worth at all
Apparently it was an event in Atlanta this past weekend
We should have told super prophet

thats is NOT how that works
but why, why you can't just cut here and cut there and then polish it until it will what you wanted?
Spoken like a guy who has no idea how a manual gearbox and clutch assembly works
i know that you can change anything if you have a great motivation 
Sure but no one is gonna spend more than the value of the car to make it happen
Given how much custom fabrication and modification it would likely require
when you have a lot of money then it's not so a great problem


Go buy a c7
i have no job
Another day
You might as well take an old Honda Civic and paint it red and hope it goes 300 miles an hour
as a mechanic, I will kindly smack all the stupid ideas out of your head
also buy a junkyard CRV, remove everything you need to convert the civic to awd, k24 swap with a turbo and you can forget about the corvette
Yes
2 stroke marine v8 swap
Old Thunderbird sitting up by the old abandoned bar by the shop
Glass and everything is surprisingly intact for a junk car
steal that vintage windshield
Take the whole car
Honestly it looks like it could be fixed up if someone really wanted to
Old Plymouth sitting not too far from it either
Its my bi-monthly Mazda cleaning time
My place of peace and quiet at work
smells like shit but you do you
It doesn't
every red car is fast af
Used to unload those trailers
Well thatâs not true
usually tires smells but I guess after while they lose their scent
Their carbon black scent
Coworker is being a aáčŁáčŁhole today so changed his radio to 101.9 (Jesus station) and turned the volume down so he gets a pleasant surprise when he comes back in
hell nah, every red car is fast af
they smell somewhat not good
nothing better than listening to God's word
Iâd generally agree
burnt hair is a far worse smell, had a dumbass friend who started burning his arm hair for one day
Did that once cus I wasnât sure my
Lighter was working held it up to my ear to hear the gas
And lit my hair on fire by mistake

should have used your nose
Well I could smell it
But I couldnât tell if the gas was actually coming out
natural selection be like
Iâm sitting in my car right till like 30 minutes before my interview but looks whoâs here
Itâs the boy
đ
Itâs close man letâs be real
still not the same
you have a yaris?
na?
how much was it
Just walking past the windows that thing reeks like a burnt down grow house
And before you say anything its a 6.1L automatic hemi
Ah yes
Never guess the type of dude driving it
pack of menthols
Nope, skinny white dude with a vape that probably has weed in it
The twig driver
Pretty much
I woulda said skinny black dude but I guess not
Nah, not the right challenger
Thats probably a 2013-2018
how much do those cost around there?
No idea, never cared to look
probably way cheaper than here
combined with the fact that gasoline is basically twice as cheap, no emissions tax...
Overrated cars
yea but still
the eco madness is absurd over here in europe while everywhere else its like nonexistent
5k
The car was fully optioned
With power windows lsd ac and power steering
that car would cost you atleast 3 times as much here
oh i know
miatas are insanely desired cars
so you gotta pay the tax
"Let's make an engine so shit it has a 10mm drain bolt and the oil fill overflows if you dump a quarter of a quart of oil in too fast"
no its just dumb
Ladies and gentlemen...the chevy trax
renault 1.5 dci, you fill the oil in the same opening where the dipstick is
slightly thicker than a straw
filling takes a long time and you can read anything off the dipstick after filling
i do agree with you
honestly I would rather get an e46 either coupe or convertible
good luck finding a 240 here
only 180s
most iconic jdm cars barely existed in europe
miata being like the only exception
i want an e46 again
it was so fun
can you do something about slow mode? set it to 5 seconds?
Gonna be honest, slow mode in this channel is kinda pointless
fr
ill ask the boss
the issue we have now is
they massively back tracked on a lot of the epa stuff for vehicles
but car companies are afraid to try and take advantage
as once the election comes around it may all be reverted
I am deciding for the first time in a long time to preorder a game, FH6 just looks too promising to resist
let me know
then teach me how to drift with a controller
im like a baboon with 50 iq when trying to work that out
sit there for hours and get no where
im looking at the car list they got the 22b
but not the 400r
smh
I drift when I dont even mean to, just find drifting through a turn easier than going steady through it
i may just be retarded then
It mainly just depends on the setup of the car and how the game handles drifting

buy standard edition and buy the dlcs when they're on sale
Too late
Praying that the fuel pump and valve cover gaskets are the last replacements for this x5
Idk how much more i can take from dealing with this car
I doubt they'd be on sale anytime soon and I really want those time attack cars
yea
13 letter poop spreader
GTA VCS Washington
This thing makes life so easy
What is that? Brake pad spreader?
We lost a real one today sadly
Bro couldnât stop spouting off pro Russian media talking points regarding the war
đ„
Its a caliper pin reset tool
Who?
Oh boy so I have something to show you too
Ohhhhhhh. Never seen one like that before
Something happened in my shorts, seeing that car
đđ
No wonder the engine wanted to fly out of the vehicle
Bro got the goblin ears
"The person that was supposed to be here Friday for 4 tires is coming today, but also while this truck is on the lift for an oil change lets change 4 tires on it as well even though the other lady will be here any minute now with only an hour left before you normally leave."
Gee fỄcking thanks boss
Bruh
Thatâs how you know your boss really likes you
And also that youâre super competent
New pump and sending unit arrived, put them both in, now the dumb car wont crank. Off to get a new batteryđ©
Gotta unplug da battery
The battery wasnt even in the car to begin with.
It was taken out and charged, and i put it back in after installing everything else
The car cranked and turned over before, just the fuel pump died on me
My dad didnt even go get a new battery like he said he was
He touched something, and now the car isnt even cranking
Yesterday, it cranked, but wouldn't turn over
Found the problem. The starter died
Bro. Im so sick of this car
My dad got pissed because i said im tired of working on it, as if he cant sell it as is and get something better. Just pouring more and more money into this junk for no reason
Itâs a jaguar

Bmw now holds the title for "the worst tires I've ever had to change" 245/40/18s stiffer than 14plys

That's the game race to the bottom of the barrel
Im gonna because i really want a car that uses r12 everyone Iâve spoken to about it says itâs way better than anything made today and also more efficient due to running at a lower compression
Fuck the environment I want ultra chilled ac

@ornate zealot how is the new fh game btw?
That releases tonight at 11pm I think
For pre-order at least which i did, but honestly idk if I will play, been too busy with payday2
Theres a mod that turns a character into Arnold Schwarzenegger with voice lines, custom melee weapon, custom perk deck, custom icon and bio, and a highly detailed player model with a moving jacket
Based
Theres also a mod that adds the ks-23 and any game that has a ks-23 is an immediate 10/10 for me
I can also turn it into a mini punt gun with a 4 guage slug
Iâm assuming you are throughly enjoying the pc experience

Modding has always been something I wanted to get involved in, plus pc pd2 is superior
Mainly because they kept updating it while they abandoned the console version

Only sucky thing is having to buy games again
True but you can get them way cheaper now
Thats if steam lets me buy stuff, apparently my bank is approving stuff on their end so they dont know why its being declined by steam
But I can just buy gift cards from g2a if I really want something
And the last few times I bought one from g2a I got more than I paid for so
I have g2a premium
Itâs the goat
Gives you even larger discounts for just 20 bux a year
Mine was free, unless i couldn't fine the actual premium version just now
Nvm I found it, had to actually search the premium version online to find it
I now have premium for $12 the first year
Based
Tpm sensors have to be my least favorite damn thing ever invented, such a goddamn inconvenience
agreed
That's why all my vehicles still have the tpm light onđ
Bro someone importer a 2000 blue rx7 which looks so nice
Wants 45k for it might be reasonable
Except itâs a fucken auto

Ouchers
Just hop on amazon add a chair and a chain too hang the heavy 'Engine' and front axles
@wise sonnet i saw this cool guys car while on my daily stroll can you identify it
What a beautiful piece
Kinda looks like an old Camaro
That might be a 2+2 fastback, granted it could just be a normal mustang from around the 70s since they all pretty much looked the same
that looks like it
actually no
hmmm
Theres a bunch of tiny differences throughout the years/models that its almost impossible to tell, unless its a boss/shelby mustang because those have a decal on the side saying so
Yeah ig the 2+2 did have more of a flat trunk rather than that slope, but I think some 2+2s had the slope as well
No they definitely had a flat trunk
Im pretty sure its actually just a 68 fastback
So its still a fastback just not the 2+2...pretty sure
Yeah, 68 fastback most likely
See posts, photos and more on Facebook.
Hate this is some what appeal as a shell
Does look really nice though
I wonder why he dropped the engine, swap maybe?
Big fahckah
Guess you gonna learn to park better or get in the passenger side
Im so stumped
Replaced the air compressor and fuel pump, along with their gaskets and seals, checked to see if the oil freeze galley plug was intact, still leaking oil
Even replaced the hoses, something aint adding up
Probably found the issue there was a super small oil weep hole on the compressor itself
Oh no
Broke down the other day, fuel filter got loose from the hose, lost engine power while driving until the engine stalled entirely due to fuel starvation.
Turns out all my fuel had leaked out too.
Extremely sad
Even sadder because it's 66 euro's worth of fuel
đ„
Paranoia acquired
Well, good news is that we got the truck running again, no leaks, yayay
Bad news, still cant get the bmw to even crank. New starter, cleaned both ground cables, battery cables are good. Fuel pump and pump.relay are brand new. No blown fuses
Its just... clicks
So ive been looking into maybe its a starter relay, but there are no diagrams out that actually show which one is which in this E-Box. Im gonna lose my mind
Every website just use the same garbage image of an ebox from a 3.0i but i have a 4.4i and they dont look the same
Battery? Maybe the new starter is no good, we've had that happen before
I took to a repair shop to test it
They said it was good
And the battery ive literally just came from the store with
The only other thing i could think of is maybe the ignition switch, but it was just working before i replaced the pump
You fix one problem 20 more are made
Its been that way for 6 years with this vehicle.
Actually such a cool car
Looks really nice too bad it's a nissan
even though it is tbh id buy it
its a fricken wagon with pop ups
Yeah
Still more aerodynamic than a tacoma
True
On today's episode of, "Something else broke in the car im trying to fix, im gonna lose my mind again"
Now im ordering an ignition switchđ©, because this one has failed
What isn't failing on that thing is the frame rusted?
No rust anywhere
Hell yah
And to think it all started with changing the water pump 6 years ago....
You're probably going to be what my boss is in that 5.9 L trash dodge with the lift kit of over 18k
Sketchy af, breaks down once a month, and constantly trying to kill me on the road :)))
Ive been seeing that dude alot in my feed
I like that guy
Heâs the kind of guy every workplace needs
Funny, truthful and very blunt
