I am 25 and only recently started driving. I feel like such a inept piece of shit when it comes to driving.
I regularly have mini panic attacks about small stuff related to driving. For example changing a tire. I am scared to do it and fear breaking something. Even though I have seen many vids.
Like just the other day I freaked out because I didn't know what side of a one way street you are allowed to park on.
I guess I am just wondering... how the fuck do you become a good driver? I am too scared of wrecking my car and scared of the unknown.

Also, about how long do tires last with an average or below average amount of driving?

Basically me. I had my permit at 16 and license at 17/18. Parents never trusted me to drive their car by myself.. I got my practice by driving friends cars and whatnot. Everytime i drive with my father he has these nervous fucking attacks . I finally have my own car now and feel where you are coming from. You will get over it.
how do turbos handle for long stretches of high speed highway driving? say 8 hours at 80-10mph only stopping for fill ups and piss breaks.
do they overheat little 4 bangers?

Holding your shitbox at highway speed will not generate enough load for the engine for the turbo to spool up.

They do alright in endurance races.
So I've found this part in my car's trunk. Does anyone knows what it is? There's a sticker with Schaeffler name on it. pic related.

How can I convince my non car-loving friend to keep his vehicle clean? He says cleaning the interior is pointless as it doesn't prevent his car from getting him from a to b.

Sup /o/. I've been shopping around for a used truck and I recently came across what seems like a good buy. What is the general opinion on F-150s? Any common issues I should be aware of? The one I'm looking at has 105,000 miles and was recently traded by the original owner. Any input is appreciated.

get a 5.3L V8 SIlverado instead. it'll be more fuel efficient and more reliable. Those Fords all tend to start breaking down the minute the warranty is up.

I used to attend the MotorTrend auto shows when I was younger. Kinda lost interest as I reached my 20s.

I just like to look at hot grills standing next to cool cars. Pics from even are enough for me.

I go to the Detroit show once every 4-5 years, went yearly with my father as a kid but the show doesn't change much year-to-year since models are mostly the same.
One time I went and got so sick that I had to go to the hospital.

How many cells does a catted downpipe need to pass emissions?
>100?
>200?
>400?
How many cells does a typical OEM catalyst have? How much will a "sport cat" increase emissions?

Thought on 2008 GTI (American)?
One I'm looking at is automatic. I'm not looking for a fast car or anything but I like the way this one looks(not the pic but the one I'm looking at)
I just need to know how reliable it is. I don't care about speed, MPG or drag ability I just need to know how reliable it is.
I thank you in advance.

American Volkswagens have a terrible reputation for reliability. It started in the late 80s/early 90s when VW switched production for the North American market to Mexico.
Quality took a nose-dive as did reliability.
They're known for electrical and mechanical reliability problems
Honestly, a Chevy Cobalt SS may not be as nice to drive or sit in but it's faster and more reliable.
Will the blazer ever come back? With the whole Bronco revival thing, whats the chance of this happening?

Not the way you want it to. As evident by what we got with the Bronco, it's still a 4-door SUV.
The days of large, affordable 2-door SUVs are done mane.

Is a Bandit 1200 good for daily use?
I ride a KLR 650 now. My commute is 45-60 minutes each way, and I carry a shit load of stuff.
I'd like a Suzuki DL-1000 V-Strom but I can`t afford one.
Suggestions welcome, keeping in mind I am poor.

Dude I live in Canada, there's two guys with converted Gixers and at least four guys who ride dualsports all winter in my city. I see them out all the time especially during a fresh blizzard.
That's also not counting the dirtbike fags who live way out in my cities suburbs.

Need some expertise here:
I bought my 2012 WRX a few years ago from a reputable dealership. The car was pretty close to stock when I bought it and I was assured ot hadn't been modified outside of the injen intake installed.
I've kept it as stock as I bought it, because I want to do everything all at once. Anyway, I've recently been throwing a CEL and my cobb says I'm running rich. I haven't gotten a tune yet, so any issues should be covered by the bumper to bumper I purchased.
However, Subaru recently recalled a few hundred thousand turbocharged vehicles due to secondary air pump failure.
My car has had the symptoms of pump failure for a while now, but I figured it may be a bad tune from the orginal owner parting out modifcatins and returning the car to stock before selling, minus the ECU. Anybody who knows think these things might be related, or do I just have a huge mess on my hands?
TL;DR could secondary air pump failure on a 2012 wrx throw a "running rich" CEL code?
Thanks in advance.
