Not only are they overpriced to begin with but also the supply of these cars is absolutely immense

The supply far exceeds demand so the price drives down to meet demand

It's science

What is a Mr. Bob? A mister bob is a neighbor or friend who always wears either shorts or kahkis with tucked in collared shirts. Mr. Bob also happens to be a fucking pussy slayer and a genius when it comes to diy shit. Mr. Bobs are skilled in all fields of car modding, alarm going off fixing, fixing up a broken down, and replacing fucking anything. If you have a Mr. Bob be sure to thank him the next time you see him for fucking everything he's done for you.

I used to be that "Mister Bob" and I fucking hated it because my neighbors wouldn't stop bothering me about their car problems. And of course I had to help them because having pissed off neighbors makes your life miserable so I ended up moving away instead.

just schedule a test, you literally just drive around the block and parallel park

>>17373237
I was in the same situation, just study super hard like obsessively on like...things that make you specifically fail the drivers test. I had about 5-9 times to practice driving with others (hour at most) and 6 hour pack of drivers lessons before I passed my test the second time (barely passed though)
>>
>>17373237
You sound like me except I'm 23 and I actually can't practice with parents cause I'm living abroad for my studies

Anyone knows a way to practice more? It's 15 mandatory hours at the driving school and $50/extra hour which I don't wanna pay

It was surprising how fast it was spraying out.

The good news is my fuel pump seems fine.

>>17373159
Not exactly on-topic, but fun wrenching story. Had a Saturn SL-something, beater car that got passed from sibling to sibling. Seemed absolutely gutless to me, but hey, its a 4-cyl, right? It heated up way too fast (seemed lioke a head gasket), and seemed to have super-high crankcase pressure. If you just unscrewed the cap while it was running, it would blow it off. Any how, it ran, and ran, and ran, and just wouldn't die. Passed through four siblings before it finally threw a rod bearing.

So we pop off the heads, and dad is like "What the fuck it that"? One of the pistons has a chunk as big around as a quarter just missing out of it, and there is a hole in the cylinder wall. It had probably been like that for years (going back to the crankcase pressure thing), but the fucking thing just kept going.

My girlfriend tried to take her car in for an oil change but they stated that the oil pan screw was stripped and they were not able to change her oil.

My question is, does the oil pan have to be completely replaced or can I just removed the stripped bolt and re thread it and buy a new bolt? I wouldn't see why I couldn't just rethread but I'm not too car savvy and I usually come to the board for advice. Thanks all.

>>17373087
If you have to ask, you can't do either.
>>
They probably mean the head was stripped. Buy a new screw, then get the old one out by grinding flats onto it, welding a nut to it, pipe wrench, etc.
>>
You think rethreading an oil pan is the easier of the two options? No. Fuck no.

I just got a mint 2001 Ford Mustang with 28,000 miles on it
Went down to drag strip and did pretty well
Talked to my father who said it would be a better idea to save up and buy another mustang with a V8 rather than add to the V6
However I've read that there's centrifugal superchargers that can add on another 170-200 whp
That and you add a intake and a few other bits and you got a car that can beat V8 mustangs easily

I feel personally that it would be cheaper to buy the mods and mod the V6 rather than buying a whole new goddamn car but I want /o/'s opinion

Pic related it's the mustang

Adding performance mods to a V6 is not ricing it, as long as it actually goes faster.

But seriously you should just get another car first and tune that one. Even a v8 version of your car is like 4k

Why is it that every time people talk about wheel hp vs crank hp, the wheel hp is always significantly lower than crank hp? Like, a 250 hp engine can only put out like 160 or so hp at the wheel, presumably due to drivetrain losses.

Why hasn't anyone made a system where the drivetrain actually adds horsepower? So an engine could make 250 hp at the crank but put out 300+ hp at the wheel? You'd get way more performance out of cars if you actually gained power through the drivetrain.

If you're 'relatively poor' why are you spending 16 to 22k on a car?
