Why am I suddenly finding panniers so sexy?
is vermont the worst state for inspections?
>car can't be rusty
we have shitty winters and they load the salt to the road
>no lights on the dash
if you have just a bad sensor your car won't pass
>have to take pictures and upload them directly to the state
>have a spot where a pebble hit your windshield
no pass
>>17800390
Also you and Virginia have the stupidest placements out of any state for your inspection stickers
Rather that than complete shit heaps on the road.
>>17800424
I live in a no-inspections state, and it's almost always the shit heap behind the wheel that's a problem, not spontaneous mechanical failure.
If you're really worried about safety, you'd be better off inspecting the drivers. Inspecting the cars is just for pollution, taxes, and creating some do-nothing jobs.
Should the next Challenger try to compete with the Mustang/Camaro in performance, or remain a comfy pigfat muscleyacht?
Keep doing exactly what it's doing.
>>17800331
It won't compete unless it's completely redesigned so I say let it remain a pigfat niggerboat

reminds me of burnout paradise
What are some dreams you've had about your car?
I just woke up from a dream that I finally fixed my shit barge, then got slammed into head first by a student driver in a Twingo.
>>17800151
Every now and then I'm getting nightmares about getting flashed for driving too fast or going over red lights.
It is like in a bad comedy movie, I'm getting flashed again and again till I wake up with my heart pounding.
Fuck germans hiding those speed cameras behind speed signs.
>>17800151
I have dreams that my teeth fall out then i crash into a wall in my Audi
I have a recurring dream that it's a few months from now and I burn through my clutch because I haven't gotten any better at manual then now.
I hope it's just my brain trying to psyche me out and not a premonition or something.
Someone talk me into/ out of buying a 335i coupe, I want a fun, powerful, RWD car and it has the TT I6 that can easily be tuned to 500 HP + its affordable
>>17800135
If you can afford it you can afford better.
>>17800143
>>17800135
You can't afford it.

Hey yall, its me again /ShittyCherokeeBro/
Got another problem lol- fml right?
At low speeds both the A/C and heater blow minimal air and do not cool or heat, respectively.
When I accelerate to highway speeds they work fine.
Wat do?
You are running low on freon anon, when u get on the highway ur condenser is getting more airflow because higher speeds and is producing more air. U need to put more freon on in and you should be fine.
>>17800065
thanks anon!
>>17800071
Turns out its not low on refrigerant, unless the pressure gauge is dead wrong. Reading 35 psi at 63 degrees F air temp.
Looks like im fucked

Safety regulations and a focus on comfort and features over anything else.
>>17800049
EU laws and regulations.
Fuck the EU.
It's funny because why wouldn't you just buy a fucking Golf if you need the room of a Golf?
Or why wouldn't you buy a Passat instead of a Golf?
Git?

Probably gonna come off as pretty retarded here but when someone says a thread is 1/2" x 28 what is 28?
28 twirly-whirlies per inchy-winchy
It's how old the metal is
So why can't they just say fine thread or coarse thread?
I am planning on going on a long America Tour next year.
I want to go visit all the national parks do some camping and hiking.
A top priority is having a great drive while I am doing it. A car that can handle the beautiful curves with a lot of fun, but still isn't shit on long stretches of straight road.
I don't really want to spend more the 10k. Here are some of the criteria I am trying to balance.
-Some space, I want to at least hold some camping gear. A Miata trunk might get the job done. Corvette wont.
-Fun in the curves
- Not bad at cruising highway speeds aren't punishment
- can be sat in for 8 hours without too much pain.
- Not horrid MPG
- No glaring Reliability issues that would leave me stranded in the middle of nowhere.
I feel like BMW is an obvious choice for this criterion. These of some of the cars I was thinking off.
BMW e90 328i
8th gen civic Si
GTI
RX8- Shit MPG - more worried about reliability.
what would O choose?
non molested gti or ms3
Something American of course. When I went to the US they wanted to give me a Toyota or Nissan or something for a rental, and I upgaded until I got a Grand Marquis.

He said he wanted a good experience.
>Nader says that GM responded to his criticism of the Corvair by trying to destroy Nader's image and to silence him. It "(1) conducted a series of interviews with acquaintances of the plaintiff, 'questioning them about, and casting aspersions upon [his] political, social, racial and religious views; his integrity; his sexual proclivities and inclinations; and his personal habits'; (2) kept him under surveillance in public places for an unreasonable length of time; (3) caused him to be accosted by girls for the purpose of entrapping him into illicit relationships; (4) made threatening, harassing and obnoxious telephone calls to him; (5) tapped his telephone and eavesdropped, by means of mechanical and electronic equipment, on his private conversations with others; and (6) conducted a 'continuing' and harassing investigation of him."[9]
Lol GM/Chevy execs were IRL trolls/shitposters back in the 60's as well.
Nader was a lurid shithead that scared people into buying shitbarges instead of nimble compacts for decades to come. Why hasn't that cunt been necked long ago?
GM:
>Ralph Nader is a cuck
Me fifty years later:
>Yup
They were scumbags back then and they are scumbags now
>No no, our ignition switches are fine and haven't killed anyone
>government pressures them, threatens to send them bankrupt
>Oh yes we are at fault better fix that!
Is there any car in real life that looks like the Trans Am 20000 from Redline ?
Have you tried the Trans Am?
>>17799894
I may be slightly retarded.
fucking lel
I just don't get manual cars, yet I ride a motorbike just fine. I got my motorbike license on the first go, the car license I have failed 6 times already.
Its so utterly humiliating, I feel retarded, should I just give up and buy a motorbike with a sidecar instead?
Why not just keep trying until you get it right like a man instead of settling.
just get an auto license instead

But then everyone will make fun of me
