Why are FCA-vehicle owners so adamant there's nothing wrong with them?
They'll throw around the fact it's been brought in for recalls/warranty work like 10 times like it's something normal for everyone and nbd
They bought a vehicle despite overwhelming evidence, every time you turn the corner on the internet, that the reliability and customer satisfaction is terrible.
They made the conscious decision to purchase a vehicle that will need to be in the shop 3 or more times a year for things not related to routine maintenance.
Are they really just that retarded? Or is there some other explanation? Muh v8 so I don't care?
I'm pretty sure much people lease that Grand Cherokee. Typically middle aged men with overinflated egos, or mid 40s women using sugar daddy's money. So they don't care about the longevity and reliability.
But yes, it takes a special kind of stupid to willingly purchase a new FCA vehicle.

I know a guy that BOUGHT a 2017 GC SRT, and was throwing around the fact that he's brought it in for warranty work several times like there's nothing wrong with the fact, then shit on my car which I've only had to bring in once for an airbag sensor recall in 3x the length of ownership.

2016*
I don't know shit about cars.
I have a 2003 ford taurus that is leaking transmission fluid.
I did some research and it turns out 2003 is a shit year for ford taurus transmissions.
Do i bother getting it fixed, or just sell it for what I can?
>>16751356
How is the rest of the car? Beat up?rusted? Shit interior?
>>16751356
>2003 is a shit year for ford taurus transmissions.
Ford has never made a decent transmission m8. They are all shit years.
>>16751388
Rest of the car is really nice, actually. Under the hood looks brand new, too. Like it was completely revamped or whatever.

Life sentence is stupid; 20 or 30 years is fair enough. May as well just execute them but if they want to waste resources then whatever.

Fuck yes. Stalin would send all his useless shit heads to work camps and work them to death. These fucks got off easy.
Death to street racers.
Hi /o/
Just got in my first car accident last night.
>was traveling down 2 lane road
>light turns yellow
>Go through light
>other car turning left pulls in front of me
>hit brakes
>front passenger side hits back of her car
>she got a ticket for failing to yield
my car needs a new wheel and rim and bodywork done to the front passenger side.
Sooo how much am I fucked in terms of resell value down the road or even in the next 6 months? Its still a relatively new car (2016 Mazda6 MT with 3.3k miles on it)

Find out if you have to get a salvage title or not. If not you should be good.

This movie is garbage
I know the ceo of onscenetv and they are nothing but honourable
Definitely not a fucking brand-spanking new Challenger. I'd go Panther platform car with a hot motor, shift kit, and some suspension upgrades, and mount a few cameras on the a and c pillars, controllable by remote, as well as of course having a main cameraman/navigator codriver. Stealth looks, strong as a tank, lots of storage space (trunk is a bag of holding for the uninitiated), and they can hop curbs like nobody's business.

Not angry enough. You'll need to do better than that if you want to make it in the industry.
What kind of car related autistic things do you do?
I only have a few:
>when I'm driving at night and there's no one around, I sometimes flash the high beams over and over and make "nee naw" sounds like I'm police
>when I'm walking around in public and walk past someone slower than me, I do a gear change motion with my hand like I'm changing from 5th to 3rd for an overtake, then speedily walk past
>spend an autistic amount of time parking 100% right, make sure each window is all the way up, get out, lock car then check each door handle to make sure it locked. 50% of the time I will walk away but check again

What does /o/ think of boosted boiz?
Wrote them off because of the fuccboi sounding name, but they are actually a very decent channel. Subbed as soon as I heard MR2.
>>16750811
Seeing how much of /o/ is positive about these guys, meh. But after watching a couple of their vids, not bad. Not sure if I'd sub but I do love boosted Civic wagons.
>>16750811
They're haggard without the attitude.
Pretty decent to watch, though i'm not subbed.

Is it bad to downshift to a low gear if you don't rev the engine to the redline? Like going from 3rd to 2nd at 50+ kmh? Engine speed would be around 4000-4500 RPMs at that stage I think. Well below the redline.
If it's bad, is it still as bad if you rev match or does it not make a difference?
I don't understand how that's bad
>>16749169
I am asking if it's bad or not. I thought it was alright if it doesn't redline and blow your engine. I searched on google and some people are saying "blah blah if you downshift to the point where your engine screams it's bad". Define scream. The engine on my honda can get pretty loud when it's over 3000 rpm but the redline on my tach starts from around 6750.
>>16749190
no its not bad, they mean "scream" as bouncing it off the Redline in which case yes it would be fucking awful and you'd probably blow something. but if you're downshifting into 4000 then that's normal
So yeah my aunt is dead set on junking her 04 Beetle because it's "junked". It's got just under 100k miles on it and apparently runs fairly well. Problems being...
>Electronics fucked up all over. Passenger window won't go down, dead dash lights, minor inconvenient shit like that
>Needs new headlamp/hood after minor accident
>Leaks coolant
>(maybe)Has a dying alternator
>Needs new brakes because she has NEVER SERVICED THE BRAKES ON IT
As far as I can tell there's nothing severely wrong with it and I've been looking for a new "project car" to fuck with this spring/summer. Are these things really as awful as I've been lead to believe? I really just want something I can go full retard on with custom work and shes willing to sell it to me for $400.
The most pain in the ass thing will be the instrument cluster and window. Everything else is regular maintenance.
>>16748969
Don't bother. Even if you fix it it'll still look like it's been beat to shit so you won't get a good roi when it's time to sell.
>>16748969
>Are these things really as awful as I've been lead to believe?
No. It's just a MK4 VW Golf/Jetta with a different body. Also, tons of fucking headroom. Jeremy Clarkson is 6'5 and had no trouble fitting in it. In fact, with the seat all the way back, he couldn't reach the pedals.
>I really just want something I can go full retard on with custom work and shes willing to sell it to me for $400.
Do it. I'm assuming it's the 2.slow. There are supercharger kits from Neuspeed if you want it. Personally, I'd do a 16V conversion or a 20/20 conversion.
If it's the turbo, you can go full retard on that thing.
They're fun cars. The reason people shit on them is because it's so feminine looking.
