I guess they think buying a shitheap corvette older than 2017 makes you a hipster. These are the same people who post minions memes on Facebook and unironically use emojis to replace words. Their opinions are worthless.

They think your a trendy price of shit

it means your a cuck
Do you have any other non normie interest besides cars?
Or are you a normie in every other aspect in life besides having love for shit boxes.

So I got this chink bluetooth OBD2 dongle and it works nice, except I can't find a decent all-around app. I tried
> torque
This one seems like the goto app but the interface is buggy af on my phone and it's never been updated since android gingerbread. Fuck it.
> dash command
Looks really nice but way too many features (I just want a no fuss OBD2 reader with gauges and alerts) and the pro version costs more than the dongle.
> piston
Really simple and clean but no gauges/graphs.
> garmin mechanic
Free but needs their proprietary hardware, else you get very few readings.
Any experience with other apps?

What exactly are the benefits buying a car through the stealership? Buying from a private seller gives you no taxes and if the seller tries to bullshit you, simply walk away. Try going into a dealership they will attempt to legally hold you hostage as long as they can. Other than buying a new car I don't see the draw of a dealership.

Some people want brand new cars straight from the manufacturer.
Some people are idiots.

When will /o/ just admit Tesla Model 3 is the future of driving? BMW and Porsche can't evne protect you from bio terror attacks nor can they go as fast as a Tesla Model S.

When do car mods stop being considered 'bolt ons'? Where is the line drawn? Is custom fabrication necessary? Are bolt-ons only referring to external components which are bought and then simply bolted on to the car? What if it's part of a kit but requires cam removal? Obviously a custom-built tubular header with a custom-plumbed big turbo setup wouldn't be considered a bolt on, but there are a lot of mods leading up to this that sort of fall into a grey area. Here are a list of these grey area items I would like your collective thoughts on:
- Custom tune (obviously tunes aren't 'bolted on', but this is in comparison to an off the shelf tune
- Valve train components. Upgraded springs, etc
- Installing parts from higher-model cars that fit with little modification (S3 turbo on A4, or Q5 brake calipers on A4)
- Installing a 'kit' that requires custom installation (ie a meth injection kit, with custom mounting, routing, nozzle selection, controller settings, etc)
- Installing a custom brake ducting setup to send fresh air to your rotors via silicone tubing and NACA ducts
- Replacing a diverter valve controlled by an electronic solenoid via ECU with a vacuum-operated blow off valve, requiring rerouting of vacuum lines
- Custom exhaust
And anything else you can think of that might be in bolt-on purgatory.

If you have to ask then it's a bolt on
>>
Oh also, what about a big turbo 'kit' that requires replacement of tons of parts, but all the fabrication and compatibility work was done by someone else like a tuning company? And all you did was buy it and 'bolt it on'. Does it matter if you did the fabrication work personally? Does it have to be a one-off part/setup?

Another one: Installing a 'universal fit' intercooler onto your car. Sure, it 'bolts on', but maybe you had to fashion up some brackets from the hardware store and drill through your crash bar. Not to mention the silicone pipes and steel joiners you had to source from some shady website to get it hooked up to your stock system.

Yeah I've had to use the "screwdriver" trick once before, and it worked. Not here though. I ended up using a jack like a press and putting the vehicle's weight on one of those slots to get it spun loose. Far and away the worst I've ever seen.

Sometimes, I wish Tesla fags were ban to /n/ or got their own containment board/thread. It's completely fucking retarded comparing a Electric Cars to a ICE cars for starters. They are both considered cars just because of the loose definition of what a car is. You don't see people here jerking to some Semi-Truck with fucking rockets attached to it's back being faster than all cars that exist. Do you know why?
Because it's a fucking different ballgame. I know /o/ is mostly shitposting, just see what a fucking shitfest is any thread mentioning a C7 and a R35, but let's increase the quality of this board by stop being retarded.
Most car people don't give a rat's ass to Tesla, not because they're bad or something, but because they lack all those subjective adjectives that gave cars all their personality and culture behind them.
Just look at this fucking retarded >>16913416 shitting up this thread. What do you even accomplish with this kind of shitpost?
So, let's discuss. Should Teslafags have their own containment thread so they stop shitposting? Am I being a faggot and Tesla are cars just like any other cars?
