It's a muffler bearing auto-adjust tool. Keep it ready in your back seat at all times, and make sure passengers are aware of what it is in case the bearing needs to be adjusted while in transit.

Are fast cars with good automatics + paddles fun? I feel like limiting my choices to manual-only is making me miss out on a lot of great cars.

Good automatics don't really need you to engage paddles ever. They're there to appease the boiracer fantasies. Yes, they're fun.
>>
>>17280188
Are they fun in normal day to day driving, or just when driving hard on a track/backroad? I feel like driving stick can make even driving downtown engaging, while flicking paddles in traffic makes you look like a dumbass.

Anyone else fucking hate how modern cars drive?

They feel like you're sitting in a fucking bath tub, with the sloped windshield, and the raised beltline. You can't even lean your arm out of the window without dislocating a shoulder. The curved windshield, low seats and tiny side windows all make it so that you have shit visibility.

Not to mention all the fucking buttons on the steering wheel.

Why can't car makers just make simple cars again, manual transmission, straight up seats, and no bullshit buttons on the steering wheel? How hard can it be?

No one would buy it but enthusiasts, and due to more and more of the population condensing into cities and more and more of it being poor, there aren't enough of those.

If you want it, you have to build it yourself.

>tl;dr rear ended someone while delivering for pizza hut what are the odds of losing my job

>deliver for pizza hut
>almost got hired to deliver for panera bread back in jan/feb but got rejected because muh driving record
>got hired for pizza hut with exact same record
>am worried that this incident will push me over the limit even with driving school

In a nutshell the ground was wet from rain, if I went into the other lane there would be a head on collision, if I went right into the ditch my car would be totalled (big ditch) so I slammed on the breaks and was honking the horn for like 4 or 5 seconds before impact, the fucking retard just would NOT turn right already

Virtually 0 damage to his car, mine had way more but it was still just purely aesthetic, both headlights still worked, etc
They just have to call the cops instead of exchange info with me, and towards the end (after cops show up) one even calls an ambulance because muh lower back pain, even though the piece of shit can just casually walk to the ambulance and even the cops are snickering because of how full of shit he is

I called my manager and let him know literally everything because 1) I can't seem like I'm fucking around while on a delivery, and 2) because he will find out eventually and he's a super cool manager so I might as well tell him immediately and myself

Everyone at both stores I work likes me, multiple managers talk good about me, my original one (one that hired me) wants to promote me to team member trainer, another one talked about making me a manager, everyone tells me I'm an extremely fast driver, etc etc
I found out from another manager that the one that hired me and I told about this told her (she was the one on duty at the store I was delivering for tonight) that company policy is to automatically suspend for 2 weeks if a driver is in a crash but yet he made a call and got permission for me to keep delivering the rest of the night (same night of crash) and for me to come into work tomorrow as per the norm with no real end in sight

Apparently he also kept telling her that he would handle it and to keep it quiet
He's gone up to bat for me before like one time some drunk asshole said I tore up his driveway and yard + yelled and cursed at him when in reality I didn't tear up shit even though it was pitch black in the middle of a field (rural delivery sometimes), and he was the one yelling and cursing at me


How fucked am I?

We need a new term for "Straight Pipe" exhaust since calling is "straight" is not inclusive to people of other sexualities and may offend/trigger LGBT folks. Also, it's not even accurate since sometimes the pipe is bent, and certainly as it has no gender and is inanimate, it cannot be "straight" by definition.

Please post your ideas in this thread, we need to make this change so we can include more people in the automotive community.

Other things we may consider re-naming for inclusion:

- Ball joints (may offend because of the word "ball")
- "Tranny" as slang for "transmission" must stop being used
- The term "headlights" should stop being used as it is slang for breasts and may offend females and those who identify as such

Thanks for your understanding and support, /o/. Let's make the car community a better place together.

BMW, Benz, Audi in those models is for people who want to look rich, its entry level luxury.

What you want, is a one/two/three year old used car, like the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes E Class or CLS Class, or Audi A7.

From that list I'd personally go with CLS Class or A7. It's the new baller roofline coupe a e s t h e t i c.

Girls will fawn over you if you drive those.

MK7 GTI with a downpipe and APR tune. That's 300 whp on 93. Probably more on an E85 mix.

Focus ST's can barely crack 300 without a turbo swap.

Mazdaspeed 3's can hit about 320 on stock turbo, but they aren't current. Someone just got into the 9's with one.

really the 90's and '00's civics are the ones tearing it up daily on the cheap.
