the fucking fuck am I looking at

It's fucking retarded.

First SUVs and crossovers pretty much replace sedans and wagons on the market and then they blow up sedans and make them as tall as SUVs.

The fucking retardation of modern car styling is enraging.

>>17040929
Not sure why that pic is oriented like that.

The car needs other work as well
Engine gasket
Weather stripping
Turn signal housing
Indicator light
Paint
Dent removal.

Damn thing was so pretty. The wife has beat the shit out of it.

80A... I'm gonna guess its the fuse for the alternator and the ABS.

I've only ever seen these fuses go when someone/I accidentally short circuit some power to the grounding of the engine, aka like touching the positive battery pole to the metal near the alternator, or the alternator power-out cable coming loose and hitting metal somewhere

Check your alternator and battery cables properly, then put in the new fuse and see what happens

Also; fuck the design and price of these things

I found a missing nut that held a hose or cable in place missing from above the alternator. How does shit like that walk off? I doubt it's the cause, but how does that happen? I'm guessing shitty mechanics. It pisses me off that at $100+ an hour these fuckers can't be competent. Now that I'm off work, I'm trying to do as much of this crap as I can myself. I got a quote for $800 to swap strut mounts.

THE STRUTS ARE AVAILABLE IN COMPLETE UNITS FOR $100 EACH.
Fucking $100 to remove each bolt.

But yeah, that's another car, another thread...

>Wanna preserve my cars beautiful paint
I assume you have already put a sealant on it, right? A cover works but without any type of sealant you're only going to get so much protection from just a cover. Also, find out what type of fabric is used on the inside of the cover. Some of the covers are made from extremely cheap material that can actually scratch your paint instead of protecting it.

>>17040814
thanks for the advice anon! but what material would i want the inside to be?

your neighbor got memed hard by vatozone

Drive a 1.2l 2014 chebby spark as a work vehicle.

CVT lurches at low speeds, tries to mimick regular shifts half the time, then the rest actually behaves like a CVT. Has no power anywhere in the rev range and maxes out around 90 on i75, while sounding like I'm in a hurricane.


But hey, i didn't pay for it so...

I drive a sonic as a work vehicle it's pretty zippy and it does have manual mode for when I'm feeling adventurous but I always end up feeling bored and forgetting to even shift until it's at almost 5k rpm. It's really an uninspiring boring econobox but in some ways I do kinda like it.

>>17040553
They came to Tulsa OK, they beat some of use, and we beat some of them. they were okay. Last time i saw them was at north star dragway in TX. They were fucking cocky but 7/10. pretty average. Most of the real racers dont give a flying fuck about them. buncha drama queens.

>Toyoshit

Lol, get a patrol

>>17040463
I am okay with this. The only problem is that patrols don't exist in the continental united states.

Just don't get a shitty suburban.

>>17040290
Partly because it's fun. Partly because not everyone can afford top of the line shit and they're forced to choose between slushbox and manual.

Because these 8 speeds run on liquid gold evidently.

For the BMW 5 series hybrids the ATF is aboot $115/ litre CDN and it takes 12-15 litres for a dump and fill.

>>17040290
reminder that if you can't shift in 180 miliseconds this slushbox transmission is faster htan you.

set the rpms at around 1100 rpm or less since v8 and slowly let out the clutch.
repeat

Ignore all the posters who say HUR DUR I LEARNED IT IN 3 MINUTES
It'll probably take a few weeks. Just keep at it and don't panic, good luck anon

I learned it in 3 minutes.

Same

>>17040178
I know everything there is to know. But I will merely watch your learn by yourself- as that's how I entertain myself now.

and I thought the normal C7 was ugly

The one they gave Matt Fat Fuck Farrah had an autotragic.

bump for an actual discussion.

I don't know why people are comparing the two. One is a commercially produced vehicle with a particular set of specifications right off the showroom floor. The other is an aftermarket tuner modified vehicle. It's like comparing a S1000RR with a GSXR 1000 that had $30,000 in engine work done to it by some meme tuners. Who gives a shit.

Anyways, I think it's cool that America is pumping out these retarded cars. It's not practical and it's ugly as shit but the numbers don't lie. it's fast, it's american, and it's less than $100k

>>17040049
Thats right America is number one cunt

>>17039939
some people like them and don't know about the reliability issues

even then half your shit is fringe memes, the worst ones that you didn't even mention are the CVT failures

>it's that same mazda cuck shitposter again

Fuck off mate, nobody cares that you got turned down for Nissan financing and you took personal offense over it.

>>17039958
Ass blasted

>>17039816
Why do you care?

It's their money and they spend however they like. Don't like it? don't go watch it in the cinemas.

It's dumb fun with pretty people, cool cars, and cool stunts. What is the problem OP?

>>17039816
Because the general movie going public doesn't care that your shitbox isn't featured in it.

bump?

would really like to hear from guys with c5's with common problems, costs.

It's got a very shitty interior. But they are okay. You're gonna be sad you didn't get the z06

My dad has one.
They're slow and everything rattles.
What you can build it into is incredible though.
