Fucking disgusting
>>17054316
Thats exactly why I key lifted cars/trucks lol
>>17054316
These guys are fucked. That car park is almost fucking empty so that guy isn't inconveniencing anyone taking 2 spaces like that when there are at least 20 others (looks like more) easily available.
I hope someone wrecks their shit.
The only lesson they're teaching is that they're assholes, but what else do you expect from JEEP™
Why does no one hear talk about Lotus?
Aren't they good?
>>17054290
because you could buy a corvette for around the same price new
although they are no longer unreliable now that they are under indian ownership
>>17054290
Not much to say other than "Yeah, they're good." Also the DMV are assholes and a large percentage of /o/'s userbase doesn't have access to newer ones.
Expensive
For me it's the Dodge Demon as the best car; intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor.
Too bad only 5 people on /o/ can afford it
>>17054272
>implying there are more than 5 people on /o/

This is a McChicken parody you dip
OP from the wagon post here
Took in all your advice, /o/, and decided to go forward with a V70.
However, I still don't know a thing about cars and have no idea what's a good deal and what isn't.

I'm from Ontario and would really appreciate your help if you could point out an ad or two that are worth contacting!
Thanks!

>Enjoy getting raped on the cost of maintenance.
It depends on how well it was maintained.
So you have to look carefully at what you are getting.
>>17053962
No it depends on if you're buy a Volvo or not.
Hi there /o/
Thinking of opening up my own garage business, already priced rent and ramps etc.. but what are some essential tools i'll need
before i start?
Also what brands do you recommend for everyday use?
Shill me /o/
>>17053757
>Also what brands do you recommend for everyday use?
Stahlwille
Teng Tools
Fuck electrical tools.
I'm planning on having air lines and a compressor anyway, so shouldn't need much electrical tools
>>17053757
Surely you should know this shit if you're starting a garage business?
let's talk about bench racing and other general faggotry concerning cars and the practice of driving them.
besides the fact that I'm trying to have a conversation on a mandarin basket weaving forum, why do most people here (who are supposed to like cars btw) incessantly talk about lap times, 0-60 times, horsepower and other shit when the reality of the matter is that 99.9% of people here never actually competed in professional or amateur racing or racing of any kind for that matter
PRO TIP: rolling """"""""drag racing"""""""""" in your CAI intake 120hp shitbox is not racing, no matter the amount of mental gymnastics you do to prove yourself otherwise.
are most of you normies? do you really like just shitposting about numbers? do most of you even have cars? do most of you even know how to drive a car to its limits?
what's the point of bitching that a car with sub 300hp is slow when outside of a racing circuit you will never be able to use that power?
let's talk about burgerbro's here for a bit:
I know you fuckers have bullshit straight, wide open roads and can't take a proper turn to save your lives, but even on those long straights you still have a legal speed limit.
Are you telling me you're buying a 400+ hp car and frequently driving it at 200+ km/h? or 150mph or some shit?
No, you're not.
Driving that fast at night (maybe) for a few seconds because any longer than that and you're going to jail if a cop catches you is really just terrible.
So why this leddit circlejerking about stats all the time?
Why don't people here actually discuss cars? Why don't people here talk about how much fun they had pushing their 100hp car at night with other friends or alone?
Why don't people here talk about how nice it feels to perfect your driving, your heel and toe, your cornering?
And also, if most of you here actually want massive horsepower and muh torque, why don't I ever see actual interest in people wanting to get into professional racing?
/continued
You think anyone's gonna read all this shit?
>>17053659
/CONTINUED
I swear, reading some of the threads on this board is seriously cringe worthy. Most of you are like this faggot I once talked to.
He kept shittalking cars and calling certain BMW's certain """"""enthusiast""""""" names to try and look cool;
"oh man that car is not that good, only 250hp" or "nah man, you gotta straight pipe it bruh for that mad hp gainz!"
Of course, when I eventually asked him what car he drives he says this to me:
"oh I haven't got my licence yet"
This is what most of you look like to me. It's a sad reality that normalfriends post here just to stir shit, and it's even sadder that it seems it's only getting worse.
You could find decent threads a few years ago, but it just feels like it's going lower and lower, with faggots taking over and just jerking off on times and stats.
Let's try and talk about cars without hating.
When I was a kid and played need for speed for the first time, I always wondered what it would be like to drive nice cars or to drive like that and shit, now that I'm 27 and actually get to drive, it brings me great joy to get into a car and just drive for the fun of it.
Shit, even going from city to city is fun for me, trying to corner as best as I can within the lanes, practicing rev matching and heel and toe and shifting better, feeling the car better, all that shit.
And going out on mountin roads makes me feel like a kid again playing those first need for speed games. That magic is still there. That love of driving is still there.
But then, I come on /o/ to share these great feels with other bros and what do I see?
>how will GM cucks ever recover?
>miata is for gaybois
>the toyobaru is so slow bruh
>if your car doesn't have at least 500hp it's not even a car
goddamn it...

>>17053554
>>road tax authorities render all large engines/sports cars undesirable / unsellabl
Maybe if you are American, not a problem here.
>>17053558
in many countries road tax/insurance have COMPLETE control over the market.
they effect prices of 2nd hand and desirability. they can make a car scrappable in an instant; no one wants to pay thru the roof road tax for a mint Jaguar S type. so its sent to the scrap coz its owner wont pay tax and no one wants to buy
>>17053561
>all that waste
But hey, lets add a tax for emissions because muh nature.
those dry dual clutch transmission.
are they still grenading themselves after 100k miles?
i know eurocuck models like bmw are made with planned obsolence.
hyundai and honda is still new though, only time will tell.
>are they still grenading themselves after 100k miles?
they never did. go be retarded somewhere else. saged.
I have a 2007 Touran with 200k km on the clock and i'd give my left nut for a simple torque converter.
Driving is still fairly smooth, but it's quite choppy to get moving, especially on an incline.
>>17053508
Yeah why don't you get that dsg fixed under goodwill?
Season 24 isn't completely shit.
Thoughts? Matt lelyank and Chris monkey are actually good and Rory ried is predictably useless.
just watched half an hour of it. it really isnt bad but still not as good as that video of may and hammond playing with legos and getting drunk.
>>17053444
I... I unironically like this, same kinda goes for USA...
Just felt a lil slow at first.
>>17053444
Wasted trips on this bullshit. Tell me again why I should listen to Joey about anything about cars? Would rather watch TGT any day of the week

Here's your (You).
I rode over a gravel covered corner at 1/2 lean going about 30mph today. Nothing happened. It's not like people ride bikes going faster than that through straight up dirt, or have been doing so since way before sproingy MX bikes with super knobby tyres on 21" wheels.
I think shit riders blame road conditions when really riding a bike is both complex and unintuitive as fuck and you're probably doing it wrong. Also, buying trackdaybro tyres with almost no tread doesn't help.
>>17053312
People overact and overcompensate when they hit patches like these.
I know no one on /o/ actually owns a car, but figured I'd ask. I'm doing my own oil change for the first time on my WRX and the drain plug is stuck. I have a Fumoto to replace it with, but the damn thing won't come off.
Should I:
-use a magic /o/-recommended way of getting this piece of shit off
-buy a breaker bar
-rent one from a store nearby if it's not worth it to own one? (never done this before, don't know how much it costs)
Alternatively, would a 17mm lug wrench help with asshole bolts like this? I don't have one yet but wouldn't mind picking one up or borrowing that instead of a breaker bar if it'll do the trick anyway.
thanks nerds
Have you tried asking your boyfriend for help?
Breaker bar is your best friend твн
>>17053113
if you're right handed, place your left palm on the wrench and apply force (lefty loosey - righty tighty). Then with your right hand strike the back of your left palm firmly.
If that doesn't work, get a bigger wrench, or a breaker bar and a socket. My buddy's 15' forester is a 14mm, but almost all Japanese engine oil drain plugs are either 14 or 17mm.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with passing on the right.
All anonymous opinions, laws, evidence-based scientific studies etc which state the contrary are wrong, because of what they fail to account for. This is not a thread for discussion, but a thread for the repetitive affirmation of the truth of what has been objectively correctly stated in this original post.

What's the first mod? Tires, roll bar, exhaust?
