>tell family i am planning on leasing a 2004 corvette in a couple weeks
>tell me i want an old car because it is a hipster thing to do
what the fuck does this even mean
I guess they think buying a shitheap corvette older than 2017 makes you a hipster. These are the same people who post minions memes on Facebook and unironically use emojis to replace words. Their opinions are worthless.
>>16915356
They think your a trendy price of shit
it means your a cuck
Do you have any other non normie interest besides cars?
Or are you a normie in every other aspect in life besides having love for shit boxes.
>>16915346
Sports (literally anything that gets regular airtime on American TV)
Photography
Milshit, military history and guns
The occasional video game
I actually browse /sp/, /p/, /k/, and /vg/ sometimes too, fuck me.

>non normie interest
Cars is about as normie an interest as they come, bud.

So I got this chink bluetooth OBD2 dongle and it works nice, except I can't find a decent all-around app. I tried
> torque
This one seems like the goto app but the interface is buggy af on my phone and it's never been updated since android gingerbread. Fuck it.
> dash command
Looks really nice but way too many features (I just want a no fuss OBD2 reader with gauges and alerts) and the pro version costs more than the dongle.
> piston
Really simple and clean but no gauges/graphs.
> garmin mechanic
Free but needs their proprietary hardware, else you get very few readings.
Any experience with other apps?
OBD fusion. It's like 5$

I mean the interface, not the whole app. I'll take a screenshot next time if this thread is still up

Mx5 not have automatic, me dumb.
What exactly are the benefits buying a car through the stealership? Buying from a private seller gives you no taxes and if the seller tries to bullshit you, simply walk away. Try going into a dealership they will attempt to legally hold you hostage as long as they can. Other than buying a new car I don't see the draw of a dealership.
Some people want brand new cars straight from the manufacturer.
Some people are idiots.

The only advantage I see are lemon laws that mean if it blows up before x miles then you get a refund, although in a lot of places that only applies to new cars
Usually financing
Which sportcars would you say are most accommodating for people who are 6'4+? Specifically older models pic not related

No but I'll fucking brake your radio antenna if I catch you being a faggot like this.

>>16914487
It's an internal antenna.

Why is it so hated? It's just noise.
Should I do it? Only 66K
$66k is too much

It looks like a BMW. It'll have Ford electrics which means it'll be shit. And there's no way you can get it running for more than 10 MPG.

Buying a Mazda 121 tomorrow, any ideas for mods?
FE3 swap

Would it fit?
>his car doesn't have bio weapon defense mode
When will /o/ just admit Tesla Model 3 is the future of driving? BMW and Porsche can't evne protect you from bio terror attacks nor can they go as fast as a Tesla Model S.
Electric cars are the future, but damn it I'll gladly cripple myself in comparison by getting a petrol with some aesthetic
I don't live in shitholes like California

The best of the boring cars
When do car mods stop being considered 'bolt ons'? Where is the line drawn? Is custom fabrication necessary? Are bolt-ons only referring to external components which are bought and then simply bolted on to the car? What if it's part of a kit but requires cam removal? Obviously a custom-built tubular header with a custom-plumbed big turbo setup wouldn't be considered a bolt on, but there are a lot of mods leading up to this that sort of fall into a grey area. Here are a list of these grey area items I would like your collective thoughts on:
- Custom tune (obviously tunes aren't 'bolted on', but this is in comparison to an off the shelf tune
- Valve train components. Upgraded springs, etc
- Installing parts from higher-model cars that fit with little modification (S3 turbo on A4, or Q5 brake calipers on A4)
- Installing a 'kit' that requires custom installation (ie a meth injection kit, with custom mounting, routing, nozzle selection, controller settings, etc)
- Installing a custom brake ducting setup to send fresh air to your rotors via silicone tubing and NACA ducts
- Replacing a diverter valve controlled by an electronic solenoid via ECU with a vacuum-operated blow off valve, requiring rerouting of vacuum lines
- Custom exhaust
And anything else you can think of that might be in bolt-on purgatory.
If you have to ask then it's a bolt on
Oh also, what about a big turbo 'kit' that requires replacement of tons of parts, but all the fabrication and compatibility work was done by someone else like a tuning company? And all you did was buy it and 'bolt it on'. Does it matter if you did the fabrication work personally? Does it have to be a one-off part/setup?
Another one: Installing a 'universal fit' intercooler onto your car. Sure, it 'bolts on', but maybe you had to fashion up some brackets from the hardware store and drill through your crash bar. Not to mention the silicone pipes and steel joiners you had to source from some shady website to get it hooked up to your stock system.
Ask me about changing oil. I can do it!
Pic related; oil can Henry's REALLY doesn't want that filter coming off. Was as torqued to about 250lb/ft.
>>16913801
what the fuck
>>16913801
I honestly. Want. To. Kill. Some. Shop. Mechanics.
Had a friend come w his shitbox by. Complained he needs oil changed. Blah blah.
>Fine
TEN MINUTES OF FUCKING W THAT FUCKER UNDER THE CAR.
Finally got one of those adjustable metal pliers and just dent/twist it out.
>FUCK
Yeah I've had to use the "screwdriver" trick once before, and it worked. Not here though. I ended up using a jack like a press and putting the vehicle's weight on one of those slots to get it spun loose. Far and away the worst I've ever seen.
Sometimes, I wish Tesla fags were ban to /n/ or got their own containment board/thread. It's completely fucking retarded comparing a Electric Cars to a ICE cars for starters. They are both considered cars just because of the loose definition of what a car is. You don't see people here jerking to some Semi-Truck with fucking rockets attached to it's back being faster than all cars that exist. Do you know why?
Because it's a fucking different ballgame. I know /o/ is mostly shitposting, just see what a fucking shitfest is any thread mentioning a C7 and a R35, but let's increase the quality of this board by stop being retarded.
Most car people don't give a rat's ass to Tesla, not because they're bad or something, but because they lack all those subjective adjectives that gave cars all their personality and culture behind them.
Just look at this fucking retarded >>16913416 shitting up this thread. What do you even accomplish with this kind of shitpost?
So, let's discuss. Should Teslafags have their own containment thread so they stop shitposting? Am I being a faggot and Tesla are cars just like any other cars?
>>16913775
>Am I being a faggot and Tesla are cars just like any other cars?
Yep
Lmao, apparently tesla shit posting is very effective.
Maybe you should fuck off to reddit or some other safe space, faggot
