My car got totaled and the insurance agency is offering me $5200. I have receipts for $3600 worth of parts but they say they can't accept them since they're older than a year "as this would not increase the value of the car."

Are they trying to counter-jew me? Should I just take the money?

$3600 worth of what parts? Tuning? Nobody gives a flying fuck about tuning unless you get an independent assessor to confirm a certain value to you which usually only is worth it for theft insurance on high value custom cars. As I said nobody cares about your boyracer parts.
>>
>>17843382
Almost entirely boyracer parts. I don't see how they don't add some value, though, since that was money lost along with the car. It's not like a short shifter or bracing goes bad just because they're a few year years old.

>Should I just take the money?
Implying you'd actually try to contest it in any way and actually win. Insurance companies are a business, and this is how they make money.

How does /o/ feel about manufactures moving towards global platforms?
Is it going to make all their cars feel the same? Does it remove some of the personality of a car?

As long as the cars are in the same category as each other it's fine.

Like small sedans, hatchbacks and coupes on the same architecture is fine.

SUVs based on that same platform are not

VAG has been doing this for a while, seems a logical step for everyone else.
>>
>>17843210
It's gonna lead to compromises in a lot of places, since it's going to be difficult to match all the restrictions of every market. Still, there's plenty of room in terms of engine choice, suspension tuning, and exterior/interior design. I forsee tech becoming the most important factor for 95% of the people buying cars, so the car itself is becoming less important anyway.

mercedes

/o/ I'm a noob and I need advice.

I love station wagons, estates, whatever you call them. The selection in the US isn't that great though. Most of the "performance" models start around 45,000 new, and that gets you a 3-series, or an a4 all road.

I'm looking more at the prospect of getting the VW sportwagen and putting in a higher end turbo. Maybe doll up the exhaust a little too, but mainly focusing on bringing it up from the stock 170hp to around 250.

Is this retarded? Would I be better off buying a used wagon that was initially intended to have more stock performance?

I know it's not meant to be performance, but would adding performance parts be enough to make it one?

This. Paint looks a little shitty but if it has straight body panels and no rust you're getting a good deal. Be cautious of rape and robbery OP, sometimes things really are too good to be true.

>Will it be fun to drive stock?

it's a fairly light car with enough horsepower and an easy-revving, high-revving engine. So, IMO, yes.

what if an engine had 2 sets of cylinders?

one set that has a short stroke with a wide bore and another set that has a long stroke with a narrower bore but both sets get the same displacement

I'm not at all an engineer but I assume that this would provide a better balance between high revs and mid range torque even without forced induction

Honda and Hyundai have patented engines with different sized cylinders but the strokes are all the same across the crank

>>17842634
You'd be limiting yourself to the rev's of the longer stroke ones and wouln't be able to effectively use either the longer or the shorter stroke pistons
>>
>>17842634
That would be extremely hard to balance
it would shake itself apart lmao

You might be onto something. Just add Direct Exhaust Injection and it's perfect.

Yes, if you fuck up that's your brains splattered across the concrete.
If you don't wear riding gear at least your noggin is still protected, you'll just have to get skin grafts for days/weeks/months/years/forever.
If you don't wear a helmet AND riding gear you're as good as dead. You'll look like a fucking run over skunk.
