UWotM8

LJ's are pretty wicked, I'd have one if they weren't so hard to find in good shape.

>JK is for yuppies and old people

The JK fills the same niche as any previous Wrangler except it's newer. The JK is arguably the most rugged and minimal NEW vehicle you can buy today.

I guess there's situations where power sliding and drifting a little might be faster than gripping through?

I mean, you don't see people pulling sikkk skidz when going for lap times, do you?

Yeah, but he is just a butthurt benchracer like most gtr drivers.

Faster in what way?

Faster in the only way that matters in the real world.

Get a new belt
By pass the AC compressor
Post it on craigslist mentioning the AC is out.

You could still easily get 2k plus for this vehicle. The coolant resevoir leak doesn't sound like a problem worth mentioning.

>>16548647

I'm not sure 2k is reasonable, I'm seeing comparable cars listed in the 600-1200 range. I was quoted $575 for the AC bypass kit

>>16548667
>bypass kit
I dunno about a bypass kit, usually it's just a different belt routeing that avoids the compressor pulley.

But, I think 1000-1200 would be the low end haggle price for the vehicle, assuming other than the AC and resevoir leak it was well maintained and potentially had a transmission service in that time.

REV UP YOUR DENTAL INSURANCES

>>16547140
They're reliable, have a great aftermarket, and can be made quite quick.
When the world ends, these things will still be putting around without a care.

That said, the build quality and interior is shit. SHIT!

>>16547140
Old civics and camrys.

Literally babby's first car. Cheap, extreme reliable, easy to find and buy, automatic or 5 to 6 speeds available, mechanics love to work on them because they are well documented.

my second car was a sunfire. it was ok but the engine was an absolute fucking worthless dog. push the pedal down and it gagged like a shitty ass carbed engine and it had a 3 speed.

it was reliable though. could fix the engine just by throwing rocks and sticks at it.

No

Season 2 might be better the writing is pretty aweful and that's sad because most of Clarkson's other stuff is great right back to when he first started.

Guess writing the same shit for 35 years takes a toll but the actual reviews are great it's just the rest of the show is very rough

>>16540568
Because the engineers didn't put one in it you autist.

Because I'd rather have a 16 liter that revs to 8000 and makes 4 figure power. Even a race engine will be more reliable than a high strung VW.

>>16540575
You mean you didn't tick it as an option on the list of optional extras?

Economy car
rwd
small sedan

This is not so much designing a car manufacturer and car line, but more along the lines of an alternate what-if situation in running a company.

For example, the Yugo US exports died off once Yugoslavia was sanctioned, so my idea would be to immediately import vehicles from FIAT instead, seeing as they were FIATs in the first place.

Likewise, the mass recall of Yugos due to emissions violations would be to either offer arbitrary EFI conversions, or once again importing EFI Fiat engines, whichever would be cheaper.

And finally, the GVX wouldn't be a simple 1.3 EFI engine, but rather an engine swap with a larger FIAT engine, to actually make the car somewhat sporty and quick. I'm not sure how well these ideas would work, but I'd try these venues to try and keep the company afloat and correct the brand's reputation.

So you got bored of shilling nissan and ford?

Can we start shitposting about Suzuki bikes?

Suzuki is the best grill in Initial D

Depends, what generations are that price in your area. I'd say crv either way though. It's a civic underneath with awd when the front slips and a ton more room for shit.

Jeep with the AMC straight 6

The car will rot before the engine has a problem. Same with any truck/SUV built by GM

Never had much experience with ford products so I can't really say a turning about them

>>16549491
>a Turning

Fuck. Anything*

Horsepower is an imaginary number derived from torque.

HP = Torque * RPM / 5252

Torque is the force to get the wheels to turn. Power is calculated through torque. That's how fast the wheels rotate I believe.

t. Drunk American

torque is force. power is force over a given amount of time.

Or think of it this way.
Torque is how far you can step. Power is how far you can walk in a minute. If a person has long legs they have more torque, but a person with short legs can move their legs faster(more steps per minute).. they each walk the same distance in a minute, the long legged person (one with more torque) requires fewer steps.

The corvette is made in America and is an unreliable piece of shit. Americans are terrible at building everything.

inb4 American brands forced into the US and foreign brands forced out of the US, killing jobs overall
