Pay an upholstery shop 100 bucks and have it done in a day. That's what it cost on my civic.

I live in Arkansas and don't trust Uncle Fudd with my truck.

>>17018923
Man the fuck up. No one cares about your truck as much as you. Unhappy clients aren't good for business.

Aurora is a decent buy, the second gen (01+) with the V8 Northstar is nice and cushy. Look for something with lower miles (75k or so) unless you want to get into transmission work anytime soon. The 4.0 is a bit torque challenged and will sip some oil occasionally but makes decent power when spun up and sounds bretty decent
Other failure point would be the rear air-ride auto leveling suspension. The pump is right behind the right rear wheel and pretty exposed to the elements, but rather than spending the money on a new system when it fails you can just pick up some conventional dampers on rockauto and call it good.
Don't have much experience with the first gen but they are very similar- just a bit quirkier styling wise. I'd say go for it if that's your thing.

>>17018846
Does the Aurora 4.0 have the same head gasket issues as the 4.6 N*?

>>17018891
yes. It's literally just a smaller N*.

So fucked. They can afford gas vehicles and dump thousands into gas, but they can't afford an electric vehicle that is free to operate. Like wtf just sell more of your food stamps ffs

>>17018741
>dump thousands into gas
Not in one large lump sum tho

Yes but not a tesla

But everyone wants a tesla and they refuse to buy anything that isn't a tesla because it isn't cool.

the Chevy Bolt is the savior that electric cars need, but it will probably die because it isn't a vegan coop, gluten and cruelty free start up run by refugee children in the bay area that only sources ethical lithium from organic mines that the kids (or their trying to act cool parents) love.

Spoiler creates drag and wing creates downforce

>>17018420
Ive always been told:
Wings come from a center and move out
Spoiler comes from the outside points.

But im sure an autist will correct me.

>>17018425
Not true

Unreliable rubbish. Absolutely shit.

literally kill yourself shill this car is ugly as fuck

I can't decide if this or stancefagging is worse.

I guess Stancefagging is since no one pretends donks are fast.

>>17018145
Also donks don't fuck the suspension as badly.

Donks are hilarious and the community is really cool to outsiders.

Stancefucks on the other hand are absolute fools.

>I'm an American too

Uh huh. This totally isn't gonna be the half-hourly 'Americans r dum lol' thread.

>>17017980
Nope just an honest observation from learning how to drive manual. The best video tutorials on YouTube are from Europeans, mostly British men who are actually driving instructors in real life. Absolutely necessary to watch

>>17017963
If you want to learn to drive, manual or auto, you should probably contact an instructor. Those guys are paid to teach you to drive, and I'm sure there are instructors for every kind of specialized driving. USA is a huge fucking country, and that is one of its key strengths in pretty much everything. Got a niche interest in something that only 1 in 5 million people are interested in? If you're in Finland, a country with a bit over 5 mil people, chances are you're shit out of luck and you're alone. In the US, there'll be 60 people who share this interest, and you'll actually be able to have a community based on your interest. In my opinion tyat's a key reason to why the US is pretty cool. Whatever your thing may be, there'll surely be people who share your love for it.

Another shot of the inside, going to blow it all out with the air compressor then wipe down everything, it doesn't smell like mouse piss so that's a win in my book.
