Can someone red pill me on how trailer hitches work? It kinda seems like a dumb design to me. You put the scooped end over a ball and then you basically hand tighten some bullshit plate on top and you're done? How is that secure? I know you have some meme safety chains but fuck I thought it would be more involved than that.

>red pill me
You dumbfucks want any reason to use this even if it makes literally no sense, kill you are self
This is not red pilling, it is simply trying not to shitpost.
Okay, so there is a safety chain and a locking guard that locks underneath the rounded ball on top of the conical bit. There needs to be an amount of play on there because the trailer needs to be able to pivot and turn.
There is no way a reasonably weighted trailer will break lose from that, but off course heavier trailers use a king pin like locking system.

>red pill me
fuck off, you can easily google it and discover why they're safe and why they haven't changed design since forever. you don't even know what red pill means you helpless retard
kys yourself
So i hear everybody complaining about the reliability of the c7, i read reviews and they are just plain bad. It's badly engineered car period.
But what problems can I expect from a '17 GTR?
>>17061838
A car that is 1000 lbs heavier than it should be.
>>17061838
The transmission shits itself often and happens to catch flames while tracking
>>17061863
Yeah, pretty much

Enjoy your shitty heavy stance wheels, faggot.

>wasting money on wheels
better keep making those rent-a-wheel payments debt cuck
I'm a function over form kind of guy.
To me, a wheel is nothing but unsprung weight that gives you the ability to clear the brake calipers and hold more tire.
It kind of annoys me when I see people swap out their wheels for heavier examples just because they "look cool". Especially when it's a performance vehicle.
Knock-off wheels like rota's are even worse because they're usually heavy and weak.
Whenever I buy a car, I always base my wheel size on how small of a diameter I can get them and still clear the brakes.
Might fall for the Miata meme today, talk me in/out of it /o/... this one looks too good to pass up.

Go for it. Looks good to me.

$4000 would be a better price just because I am a jew but overall that is a very good deal. The hardtop alone is $1000-$1200, so you're basically paying $3000-$3500 for a mint low mile NB
>>17060768
This.
Tell him to keep the top and you'll give him 3000 for it.
Hey /o/, I barely know shit about cars. Im looking at my first car and I've been deciding on an AE86, a Tesla, or a 1969 Chevy Camaro SS. I found an SS online for a really good price and was looking online at car parts to mod it with. I just need help finding the size of the wheels and tires. Pic related
>>17060668
>I found an SS online for a really good price
No you didn't.
>>17060668

Buy all three and become the normie meme master.
What the fuck is this cargo rack called and where the hell can I find one that would fit an '03 Chevy Trailblazer? I mostly like it for the additional rigid boxes over the side windows.
What rack? The top thing is actually a tent and awning. The thing on the back looks like a custom bumper mount rack or spare tire rack. The side window things are separate, look up 4x4 overlanding sites for those. Also there's a qtddtot things like this go there
>>17060549
That's a homemade rack, kiddo.
>>17060614
Can't be homemade, I've seen them on at least 3 different Subi's.
>>17060601
Don't know what a qtddtot is, but if you can link me that'd be great. I never come to /o/, but I figured you guys would be the best to ask.
Hey /o/ I've bought and sold quite a few cars/trucks and usually get a pretty good deal. Going today to look at a beater truck to haul my bikes around and got to thinking what is the most efficient way to get someone to lower their asking price? I don't wanna go up and just talk shit about the thing I obviously want to buy. Pic related, how can you not love a shitty old Sonoma?
>>17060439
Also I should be more specific, not hauling a trailer. One single bike in the bed, and to dd my 5 miles to work.
>>17060439
Look under it and tell them it looks like the frame is going to rip out from under it if you try to tow something and follow it up with "I know because I'm an engineer."
>what kind of engineer?
>Social interaction experience engineer.
Depends on age. You can't nickle and dime a 25 year old truck and you can't ignore body/paint flaws on a 3 year old truck. If it's an old shitty beater then the only things to really drive price hard are the components that maintain it moving down the road.
I'm usually just honest, tell them what I will be spending money fixing, and that I don't want to pay $xxxx. Then commence the haggling.
I've never met a person in my life that said they were "firm" on price and actually didn't budge, and I've bought $600 cars before.
I think my downpipe is fucked. A week ago or so I posted pics of my yellow miata with starting issues with a cold engine (cranks fine though). It always takes 5 seconds to start, a loud bang from the exhaust, and then it starts. Spark plugs and spark plug wires are already replaced. Now people are suggesting injectors, too rich mixture etc. Today I jacked my car up to have a quick look. Things that I noticed:
- Fucked downpipe(?) pic related
- When jacked up fully from the differential, my jack stand is too big to reach the jacking point (despite my jack stands being standard size)
- bit of red stuff on underside, will post moar pics
what the fuck is wrong with my miata? i fell for the meme didn't I

>>17060178
>Is this mazda fucked?
Yes
red stuff
what's a good replacement car for this?
F12 berlinetta if you want to shit on 99,99% of the cars on the road.
That is if you have the money for an F12 berlinetta.
To help you get going, i'll supply you with a free sage.
this post was better than your thread.
I hope you feel bad.
