Would the GM space van make a good daily? I've been wanting to get my hands on one.

Yes
Parking visibility must be horrible. Hood and endless dashboard add up to landbarge front length, but it's all sloped so you have absolutely no clue where it actually ends.

red pill me on car insurance /o/
i found a shit box to beat the shit out of (1994 honda civic) and i want to start driving it. i know it's the law to have insurance but my parents usually deal with all that
i want to get some quotes but all these websites ask for so much personal info that i don't want to give away
is it a scam? do they really need that much information? how much can i expect to pay?
>>17810214
You ain't getting a quote without giving them info. Just don't give it to some random company you've never heard of

progressive's was the best one, when I was car shopping.
Statefarm has been good to me, a little pricier than some of the other options i had but they gave me exactly what i paid for my car back when it was totaled.
>have Nitto tires
>someone tells me to do a burn out
can someone explain why this wheel/tire set up looks so bad.
ive seen it on many cars. Brand new wheels and tires and they just look out of place.
Is it due to the size of the side wall? Just not meaty enough? It makes it look like a fragile plastic toy car in a bad way.
This particular setup looks bad because
1) cheap Chinese wheels
2) black/chrome never looks good, just accentuates the cheapness
3) the car needs big brakes to fill in the empty void behind those wheels.
4) ride height
The tire sizing looks fine and the offsets are not terrible.
But you already knew all this.
It's like a mobster from the 20's wearing tripp pants, the rims and car are just anachronistic and it shows.
Wheels are too fucking big.
That car came with 14s from the factory.
Once all the boomers are dead, what will the next vehicle golden age be, or will it always be the boomer generation.
The 90s.
>>17809864
I'm just waiting for all the boomers to kick the bucket and then their kids to sell off their cars
>>17809864
there was an interesting article in the NYT a few days ago that speculated that the collector car market will crash once Boomers start dying off because Millennials are poor and can't possibly buy the masses of cars that will flood the market. Maybe the days of "no tire kickers no lowballers I know what I got" will soon be at an end and we'll be able to buy McLaren F1s for $3k each.
gonna live in germany for a while; hannover to be exact - what would be a good first car there?

Ride in style.
I've made up my mind about buying a last gen Civic as my daily driver, but I need help deciding whether to buy a 2013 model (5 speed automatic) or 2014 model (CVT)
>>17809670
Neither. Buy one for 3k or fix your current car.
I mean only way to find out is to drive both and see which you enjoy driving better. I like the CVTs, nothing wrong with em.
Hondas CVT is actually perfect

Heyyo so im going to a festival and want to sneak in some booze and the best spot in my car to put it happens to be where the dashboard airbag and all its accompanying wiring sits... is it possible for the airbag to deploy from just touching/knocking some wiring/the airbag?? (Pic Related)
Thanks heaps for your help in advance!!
Airbags won't trigger with very specific circumstances, so you'll be fine. However I don't think that is the best place to hide booze.
>>17809471
the real question is why are you sneaking booze around in an old corolla? are you 16?
Are Australians really so pathetic that they couldn't handle the fact that a Japanese car was dominating their racing scene, so they decided to ban it?
>>17810589
Literraly no one as any idea of wtf you are talking about.
Also banning "A car" means literraly nothing if it wasnt STOCK CAR races or whatever.
Just kys.
they talk shit but when it comes to it they're pussies
australian "banter" is just a self conscious mechanism
>>17810608
>t. Australian
>5000 BHP
Really, nigga?
Can anyone check this VIN for me? Couldn't find a thread.
>>17809387

JN1AZ4EH5DM880209
What car is the closest real life approximation of this?

This is actually kinda true
How many /o/tists are there in Perth, Australia?
Should we organise a meet up?
6035 here
But I'm a filthy bus rider so I don't count
6056- I don't want my farrari to get ruined by the local Abos
Its going to happen in our lifetime, within a decade or two most likely.
Will this free up humans from the chore of driving and give humans the freedom to do what they want? Aka play video games, shitpost on /o/, watch movies, sleep?
How much do we really drive on average? I mean, its gonna make traffic a lot safer and effective, but its not like it will drastically change our lives
The average Joe will get another 10-20 minutes to look at his phone both ways, while other people may get like another hour or sleep or something.
The biggest changes will be extremely reduced numbers of jams (if any), large reduction in accidents and deaths, and better response time for emergency services. I mean, there aren't really any downsides to this once you get the technology working accurately and safely
Maybe make urban planning less dependent on driving in the first place, then you wouldn't need to chase after robot cars.

Cities hate cars. The bike lobby pushes for more bike lanes. Pedestrian fags want more rights for walking in the middle of the roads. They make it harder and harder to use a car everyday but nobody wants to get rid of them.
