He's right though

>complaining about rain when your passion is cars
Try being a motorcyclist

let me rephrase what I meant:

the roads have been damp lately, therefore making it easier to break traction, and I wish I had the proper car and location to do some mad skidz

My friend told me I was told that if you pee in your gas tank it's the same as putting in ethanol

Is this true?

The best thing about Lexus is you can pick up one on the cheap with high miles and not really worry too much about it cucking you. Bargain luxury car.

it will never be for the uber elite but it has also never been defined by new rich. it was bought by old rich people who care more about reliability than the badge.

Sometimes I accidentally tailgate people because I'm looking further ahead through the corners.

I cut a guy off yesterday and I still feel bad

Hondas are designed for quick and efficient manufacture. The chances of a mechanic needed to access that fitting under warranty are extremely slim (they of course don't care what happens after the warranty period). Cutting a labor time on a repair that may affect .001% of the fleet and cost an extra 30 minutes of book time for a tech obviously isn't going to be worth making the car harder to manufacture. Automotive engineers are often quite stupid but your example is not a good one.

You realize that companies like Toyota, Honda, VW, etc. all have a billion specialized tools just for their vehicles, right?

It's by design - they want you to get fucked either way. You can pay a regular (non-dealership) mechanic for 5 hours of labour and the same parts, or a dealership for 2 hours of labour at a higher rate and the same parts.

Don't underestimate the eternal Jew OP. Not even the Nippon Jew.

Manufacturers do not make money from service. Dealerships are not owned by car manufacturers.

They're all driven by women too small to see over the steering wheel.

>>17310045
Is it really? Then again they're also driven by Secret Serivcemen who know what they're doing.

Depends, do you like going fast or just cruising? Do you have to park your car in a place people might fuck with it? Do you want a big or small car?

the new tech money trendy car is the Tesla

>>17316295 I would wait before getting a Tesla. They seem to have a lot of issues and repairs are both expensive and have to be done at a limited number of shops

Mitsubishi. I really like the FTO, EVO V and VI, GTO/3000GT and Starion, but have never met anyone who owned any of them except a old Vietnam veteran at a Ralph's with a pristine white 3000GT

80s-90s Japanese

Whenever I sit inside one I can feel the era and all the cool shit in Japan I never experienced. I look at some random part and go
