Will we ever get a mainstream electric car with a manual transmission?
8 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
nope
>>
>>17751657
why? even with a DC motor that has a short RPM range, you'd only need 2-3 gears
>>
>>17751657
Closest you're going to get is a Honda Insight hybrid but that transmission sucks from what I've heard.

As far as I know most pure electric cars (outside Formula E and some prototypes) have 1 gear ratio and are direct drive.

Just drove a 2008 m5 today and it was... kind of disappointing to be honest. It made you feel like you were going fast when you weren't. Dont get me wrong the extra features were cool for driving in general but I took it to the same road that i hit 120mph in my 323i on and it couldn't even make it to 100 without reaching the end. It just felt slow as hell and the turning angle was like half of my car's.
I get that 5 is luxury but you'd think that a 9yo v8 would be faster or at least turn better than my 17yo v6.

you were wrong twice in that post lol.
OP probably just sucks at driving, the M5 has 340hp more than the 323i.
I do agree that the turning radius is much bigger on the E60 than E46

I ordered a new pair of gas tank straps for my car. And I was sent this compact spare tire by mistake. Should I send it back, or should I place a new order for the stripes I need and keep it?

>>
Email the company, chances are they'll send your straps and let you keep the tire. Worst case scenario, they pay to ship it back
>>
I have emailed them, they said if I sent it back they will refund my purchase but I have to pay half of the return shipping. They also didn't say anything about sending my straps when they get it back
>>
>>17751609
Yeah, nah, fuck that noise. Send them this link https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0181-unordered-merchandise and thank them for the free spare tire, then tell them if they don't send you the straps you ordered you'll file a chargeback and take your business elsewhere. If they want the tire back they get to pay for the shipping, and it sounds like you're fine with that, so they should just be apologetic for wasting your time instead of fraudulently billing you for their mistake.

Tell me i'm out of line /o/, but does 1200 seem like a little much for this?

I guess chalk it up to rustbelt"over 20 years old and not full of holes must be worth a lot" tax, but I can't tell if seller is a retard or not

Thanks anon for the sharp eyes. Solo hunting for cars is hard because you can get your vision clouded by accessibility rather than whether its a good choice or not.
Also inspection was out 2 months ago so there's gotta be a reason why that is.

His reply email was rife with poor grammar and he gave off that "I kno wat i got price firm" kinda vibe

Well I guess since most of my other shit was made in China I would pick Chinese. They make elevators and escalators that literally eat people alive.

But India? They haven't even stopped being eaten by large snakes and tigers. I saw a news story today where a woman was eaten in the streets by two pigs.

I don't want the stench in the new car cuz POOINALOO dont need to shower themselves often.

What do you guys think?

92 E34 535i with 225k miles

I offered 3k, he accepted, but after poking around, I'm not seeing anything really going for that high. And if it does, it has way less miles, like ~150k.

Its been well taken care of, and he has service records.

What are the best and worst trucks/brands for trucks? I want a midsize truck thats reliable obviously. Also semi decent on gas, so v6. I need it to be able to safely tow a trailor and car at least. I dont want a really long bed.

Ill be buying used. Almost all the trucks i come across in my price range (12k) have a tremendous amount of miles already. So im scared ill get one thats on its death bed.

Why does everyone make fun of ford trucks?

If you can wrench at all, I'd suggest getting something from the 90s. You can't go wrong with most trucks built from that era if they are in decent shape at all.

C1500s and F-150s had bulletproof engines. Rangers and hardbodies are nice if you wanted something smaller.

My Silverado made it to 253k miles with minimum repairs and was still going when I sold it.
>>
you cant kill a dodge you can try
>>
For most 80s-90's models, the V6 gets maybe 1 MPG more than the V8, while having a lower towing capacity and far less power.
V6 full-size trucks are a meme.

I noticed a leak in the fuel line a couple of days ago, and I was wondering about fixing it. Is it easy to just do myself? I have little car knowledge. If not, about how much would it be to get it replaced at an auto shop?

Pic related, my dad taped over the leaky part yesterday, but that didn't do much

that's more likely your PCV hose sucking oil and spitting it out.

fuel lines aren't connected to your intake, especially not right next to the MAP/MAF
>>
>>17750514

That's not a fuel line. It's a breather/PCV line. Your PCV valve might be bad and letting crank pressure blow oil into the intake.
>>
>>17750629
>>17750555
So what's my next course of action then? Take it to the shop?
