This is from a 2014 Tesla.
400k km's over 4 years is nothing... The fact that it needed all that shit replaced says a lot. A modern new cheap ICE shitbox would make it to that easily with just oil changes. I bet that guy also drives like a grandma most the time and doesn't supercharge it. Floor it at every light and supercharge it and it'll go to shit pretty quickly.

For a Tesla, do you consider getting the motor replaced analogous to getting your engine replaced? If so, 250k isn't very impressive.

What car do you unreasonably hate and why?
any that left lane hogs on the freeway i seethe with murderous rage from it
2010 Nissan Micra
It's so fucking dull and joyless. Completely uninspired. It might be perfectly decent but everything about it is shit.
>>17758604
Porsche, overinflated reputation for a VW with bigger tires, And I don't give a duck about all the trophies, cups, and ribbons you have proving its something more.

Why aren't American cars popular outside the US?

whats the most exciting thing you've done with your car lately?
>>17745154
Drove to Cambridge to computer museum
Shit was cash
Will post pics if wanted
Drove around one of the few twisty roads here in town going 20 over.
That was probably the most fun ive had in my car in at least a month, occasionally reving to 5-6k so i can skip gears while upshifting is a close second.
Did my first burnout

Hey /o/, /k/ here. I almost never browse this board but 4chan is usually my go to for dumbed down advice (sadly).
I'm trying to replace the radio in my shitbox 1990 buick lesabre but every tutorial I find on the internet uses big fancy words I dont understand because I'm retarded with cars.
Can anyone link me to a very rudimentary explanation on how to replace a car radio? Or give me step by step advice on this so I dont fuck my car up?
>>17778347
Take to shop dummy, you don't know what the HECK you are doing
Your car makes me hard. I'll buy it off you.
>>17778367
I'm a poorfag, I was lucky enough to score a new radio for free
Can a car with factory catalytic converter still shoot flames from exhaust?
>>17778256
sure, just dump loads of unburnt fuel into the exhaust.
you'll probably destroy your cat in the process tho
>>17778273
so tune engine to run rich? and melt cat in the process?
>>17778290
more or less. im drunk so dont take my word for it, but i dont believe that your cat is meant to deal with pressurized explosions
I just parked and I noticed this car is just straight up turned on and there's no one inside...
Wat would /o/ do?
go into the store it is parked in front of, ask one of the clerks who owns that red car. If they can't answer, it is probably a customer's car and they'll be out in a bit

It's fucking IKEA though, ain't nobody going to hear anything

Who has the fault?
Glad you got out relatively OK, Anon.
What about the minivan driver?
95 4runner 87,000miles clean exterior and interior
What should I keep an eye out for when I go to see it, and what's it worth? KBB has it at 3k, guy is asking 4.2.
>>17777422
Rust under the frame, check the interior for cracking plastic and loose panels(out in the sun/hard use) , make sure to check obvious noises on start up.

>>17777447
Thanks! I'll definitely get under there and check for rust. Can you comment on what a reasonable price may be?
>>17777458
Depends on the quality of the inside and the condition outside, that's very low mileage for one of these 4runners of this year, in my neck of the woods a 4runner around this year goes from 3k with double the miles and usually paint and sometimes minor body damage.
Price should also depend on the package, the I4 (2.7L) is worth a lot less than the than the V6. Personally the v6 is all that interests me and if everything checked out I'd be willing to pay 4k pretty easily, where as the l4 I'd price in and around 3k
Why is the 370z still produced?
It still has a putrid interior for the price.
Who buys this shit
Because people still buy them. My neighbour got his brand new 370z a week back.

i blame nissan for modern cars being so fucking boring, shit build and cookie cutter
Is HCCI the next step towards an engine that can run on both gasoline and diesel?
>>17777285
I think it's a step towards running a gasoline engine like a diesel.
>>17777285
The question is if HCCI can allow an econobox to make decent power while hitting 50mpg.
>>17777285
>diesel
There is no such thing as diesel. What you and every other fuel naive person refer to as diesel should be correctly known as " compression ignition viable heating oils". "Diesel" can be petroleum based as our current paradigm allows...but it doesn't have to be as oxidated vegetable oils can also be run in a Diesel engine. Understand that the Engine is correctly known as a Diesel ans calling all compression ignition viable heating oils "diesel" spits in the faces of the chemical and mechanical engineers who worked tirelessly to give us the most advanced heating oil technology possible.
Thanks!
Why does Honda keep making hybrids every once in a while when they don't sell.
To meet fleet mileage up across the brand to meet some dumb law. It's the same reason why Aston Martin sells a rebranded Toyota IQ
