Anyone on /o/ shed some light?
I'm hearing a creaking sound coming from the front suspension area when I back my car out in the morning. Video below shows. It's a 2007 Mercedes C230
https://youtu.be/MKN6mdgPLOw
it's the remains of the cat that tried to warm up over night in the wheel housing
Can't see shit get under there and have a look.
Jack up the front so both wheels are off ground
Only when you turn? Could be ball joints. If it's on bumps could be struts too.
>Went with some friends in my jeep to the gas station
>Listening to George Michaels "Wake me up before you go go"
>Friends start playing and shit and throwing fuel everywhere
> I get distracted by a magazine in a nearby trashcan
>Walk to see it closer
>Turning my body all the way right to see back (cannot turn left since Im a child)
>See my asian friend lighting a cigarrette
>Station explodes
Kinda miss them
>Asians
Nothing of value was lost.
I think I saw that documentary...it was a few years ago I think
>Later that night
>Thought I had won an award for the 4th year in a row
>Go up to receive my award, entire crowd of people laughing at me
>Turns out that stupid Hansel had won instead
>Get splashed by a car leaving, ruining my award suit.
>Pleb riding a scooter won the award, doesn't even own a car
Worst day of my life
98 ford econoline 150. I want to live out of it for at lease a year.
Is this rust too bad? Is it too dangerous? Should I cut it all off and patch it? How long would I have if left untreated? Does it look like it alters the structural integrity?
More pics coming. There will be some shots underneath. There is plenty of rust underneath too, oh well, I'm presently only concerned with these spots that have rusted through completely.
This is the beam from underneath. The two opposite ends of this beam are where those two rusted spots sit.
A shot of the spot right where the bolt in the rust spot comes through.
Think I could cut the rust spot away? Seems like too much stuff underneath to use a jigsaw.
Mid shot of the beam itself. Seems fine.
Who makes a decent set of aftermarket seats? I dont want sport seats, just normal seats with tilt. I cant seem to find any that tilt.
Also I think im becoming obsessed with my truck. I cant stop dumping money in to it, i keep finding small improvements I can make to it. I just love it so much. Pictures not mine but reasonably close to it.
You can't lean back in a standard cab anyway

Sure you can. You bring your back part forward, Slide your whole seat forward then tilt the whole seat back.
Why don't you go to your local junkyard and pick whetever seats you like.
I put 190E seats in my corolla back in the days, was comfy af.
>friend of mine bought a 2004 Chrysler Concorde a few months back (3.5L if you're wondering. So it's not the 2.7L bastard child).
>Anyways we went out to the movies one night to see "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them"
>CEL on the entire way, car seems fine, no misfires or anything. She's taking it to autozone to have the codes checked the next day anyways so we're not too worried about it.
>come back from movie, car refuses to start
>"Wait a sec! Let me grab the owners manual! It's done this before! Last time, I was at the library."
>Owners manual tells us to crank the car with the gas pedal floored for 30 seconds... twice
>do this
>After those 2 separate 30 second cranking/full throttle cranking sessions are completed, she tries again.
>Car starts normally with no hesitation
anyone else have a car they noticed odd quirks about? I've never heard of this. Apparently the owners manual says to do this if the engine is flooded.
>inb4 chrysler quality
fuck off. That car is comfy as fuck.
Did she find your fantastic beast?
>>16486775
How was the movie?
>>16486843
Movie was good.
Would recommend.
>>16486805
>Did she find your fantastic beast?
I'm gay, so no. I'm her obligatory gay best friend... well one of them anyways. Her other best friend, Nina, is a lesbian. She went with us to see the movie too.
That sounds like the beginning of a joke...
>a straight woman, a gay man, and a lesbian go to the movies...
/o/, you're only hope...
I'm about to offload my 2008 BMW 528I because its a fucking financial liability and I need an AWD vehicle since I'm moving to a place that will require something that can handle snow.
I'm leaning hard to pick up a newer WRX. However, I'm afraid of buying a meme car despite the fact that it has everything I'm looking for in a performance sedan with AWD without descending into the luxury vehicle rabbit hole of meh features and high cost with low return on investment.
Btw I'm a girl.
B8 thread this early already?
>>16486560
>Btw I'm a girl.
and a lesbian too at that
> sips vape
Awesome news! Time travel is a thing! And you're gonna go back to the earliest time that you were able to get your driver's license!
Except this isn't exactly like "Back to The Future"; you'll be replacing the normal you in the past, but with all the knowledge and experience that you have now!
The real question is: You just got your license from that point in time. What would you get as your first car in that timeline?
>2002
I think I can get a good price on a used 2000 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS coupe.
I could probably get a great price on a 94+ miata in amazing condition. Although, all the dudes in high school would probably call me gay.
>2006
Fuck the license, I have more important shit to fix. Like my life.
Finally I'm young enough to become a trap!
Uncrashable
Why even make this thread 2bh
Hol up
My gf mom has the best twingo ever. Should i trade my shitty astra /o/
>>16486251
Astra G?
>>16486259
Ye anon
>>16486251
Yes trade
Do you guys have projected purchases for 2017? I'm gonna be buying a Caliber SRT4 in the next month or so and probably in a few months I'll be purchasing a 2006/2007/2008 350z.
Looking to have both a weekend car and a daily that I enjoy. I like my Charger but it's starting to get up there in mileage.
>>16486242
What is this strange, jagged, metallic object?
>>16486242
I dunno what I'm going to buy but I plan to have 10k put away in my new car fund by spring break.
All I know is I want Manuèl and RWD/AWD. Nothing wrong with FF but I want something new ya know? The integra spoils me as far as FF goes. Nothing else quite handles like it.
Flying brick hopefully by the end of the month.
lol
>implying American cars were any better off
The sole advantage of American makers that made their bumpers less ugly later on was that they could concentrate on this market. Foreign makers had other markets to serve as well, so their bumpers for the US were only an adaption, not the main vehicle design.
