Is this as difficult as it looks?

Do you also have to do strange things with the clutch?

Most of those shifts aren't impossible but doing 8-9 in nine fucking direction changes is absolutely retarded.

>>17758830
I wonder if maybe they skip most of the gears when shifting, and the huge range is to account for load weights?

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't have let them hit me and total my car? It was their fault, anyone watching would have seen it, I would have gotten a new car from the insurance and it would have all been their problem.

Want to buy "premium" but doesn't have the money to fill up the tank.
You are one of those guys who buys the 10-15 yr old, bucket-of-nuts'nbolts bmw audi merc, because "muh preimum", then go to the gas station and fill the tank for like 10 euro...
If you have money for the monkey, then have money for the banana too. Just accept your poorness.

isnt that one of the worst engines from vag, the one that loves to consume oil and fuck up the chain?

if you want to save fuel get a diesel or a smaller car with a smaller engine because with this one you might save a few mpg but it will cost you in the long run in repairs and oil

Any of you guys install your own window tint? Was looking at pre-cut kits on eBay for a 35% (legal limit here) and was curious if it's an easy job to do for a beginner. I mean it seems like I just need to keep the window wet and continuously keep it wet as I align the tint and then squeegee it down, and that's it? I would have a pro do it but they charge $200-250 around me which to me isn't worth it that much, since it's only 35%.

Throw $300 at a pro so you get a lifetime warranty and they'll fix any problems for free.

The Chevy Bolt Rear view mirror is actually a screw that shows a wide angle lens camera view from your rear hatch. Provides a much better view than an actually mirror.

Wing/door/side mirrors are just fucking awful. They cause drag, noise, and most are impossible to set up in a way to eliminate the blind spot and provide the view you need.

So eliminate the wing mirrors and replace them with wide angle lens cameras. then show the wing camera views on the screen that is also rear view "mirror". You can look in one spot and see everything that is immediately beside and behind you. the drag and noise from the wing mirrors is gone.moving parts are eliminated.

Having to look at the rear view mirror to see what you'd normally see by looking the opposite direction at the wing mirrors is unintuitive and goes against decades of muscle memory

Okay /o/, I had a rough idea of how we could reduce the amount of speeding tickets accumulated and at the same time, let people drive over the limit and speed at the same time, at least those who know how to.

Basically, all that would change is you would have a new class of license. The driver would take a series of driving and theory tests that when passed, would signify that the driver has exceptional knowledge and skill, and has the driving/intellectual capability to drive over the normal speed limit in certain areas responsibly at their own discretion, while it remaining legal.

In certain areas like school zones and retirement zones etc, the speed limits must be adhered to for obvious reasons, but for normal streets and especially highways/expressways the new license would take effect, allowing you to drive over the speed limit (at least by a certain amount) without getting pulled over. And to make sure you don't get pulled over once you got the upgraded license you would receive a special sticker or two that you would put on the back and front of your car (maybe even on the license or the license color could change), to let the cops know you have that license.

Rough idea, obviously its got flaws and loopholes, but what are your overall thoughts?

It's not really hard when you think about.

It's the same reason so many military people are in debt for big V8s or offroad trucks that sit parked for months and months of the year while their owners are deployed.

hello /o/

I have a quest for you

name a car with the most bhp you know that fulfills the following criteria:

- inline 4
- stock, no modifications (unless they are available from factory, for example AMG)
- no turbo, no supercharger, no kompressor, just the plain motor itself

basically "what is the strongest l4 in a production vehicle"
