Just drive sensibly and keep the RPM low.

don't run your car hard. You really bought the wrong car to save gas in

Hey there, ive been having trouble getting this thing started and im not a genius when it comes to electrical stuff, much less so with cars. I feel likes its obvious but im retarded so any help would be appreciated.
Vehicle is a 78 bronco
>The best i can describe is that when i try to start the car, it will crank for a couple tries, and then the crank slows down to a stop.
>In the process, the battery gets drained so much that it can barely power the dash lights
>I basically have to go charge the battery every time i want to try to start it
>Have replaced (and had tested) the battery
>Replaced the starter
>Replaced the alternator
>Replaced voltage regulator
>Replaced starter relay/solenoid/whatever its actually called
>Replaced and cleaned battery cables and connections
I'm all out of ideas now, and i dont have pictures at the moment.
Ive been awake for a while so if something doesnt make sense ill try to make it make sense

"crank for a couple of tries" mean several seconds where its cranking just fine, or just a few individual revolutions of the engine before its nearly out of juice?

German cars are typically regarded as being inferior to American or Japanese cars. They're expensive, unreliable, and poor performers.

Generally they are made for luxury feel rather than actual performance. Couple that with the fact they have virtually no after market when it comes to parts. Meaning you'll be stuck ordering proprietary parts only it makes them hard to maintain over a long period of time due to cost and because they (manufacturers) chose to make it hard for the end user to repair themselves.

really useful for learning about the mechanics of everything
for getting to know things, lurk moar
it will come to you as you immerse yourself in it
visit different kinds of threads, see the different things, notice the design patterns, get your own taste, and figure out what you are into
this isn't necessary at the moment, but if you want, watch Initial D if you haven't already. big meme for the board
take this AW11 as a token of goodwill

What the fuck is the Nissan Juke?
Is it a hatch? Compact crossover?
Its a few inches longer than a Miata but taller than most sedans so it is as top heavy as an upside down pyramid
No one asked for this, no one needed it. It didnt have a niche to fill, but instead it made its own and somehow is a success

By your own words it proves there is in fact a niche for it
>>
A subcompact SUV/Crossover.
The original no one asked for this car was the Nissan Rogue Convertible
>>
>>17474626
What I am saying is instead of filling a gap in Nissan's armada, it made its own and filled it. Not something any car can do

These are simply horns, Hella brand "Supertones" or "Sharptones". People just use them as a very loud upgrade over stock horns.

What's the deal with the 3 series? Why are they being traded in so much?
I see a shitload of used F30 on CarGurus being sold for 12-25k

Because they're in a segment which is occupied by people who trade in as often as they can or lease.
German cars post 90s are not meant to be owned long term, but to be leased or traded in on a new model. They're disposable.
>>
It's because yobbos hear BMW and think "fast, gets me laid" and then buy a 318 diesel thinking all their dreams will come true.
But in actuality they're buying a slow and heavy car, thinking it will drive like an M3 but then come to find out to Peter Pleb and his Camry outruns them.
They get their egos hurt, sell low and buy a charger to redeem themselves.
