I'm not a fan personally. I think they are way overpriced for what you get and I've heard their quality control is shit

>Are Tesla autos actually good or is the whole thing just a meme?

And now we have a war...

too new to know anything. there are battery horror stories, but we know nothing about how good the trannies or if their engines wear over time and burn oil

Of what? Just an iconic car of the time? The Hummer H2 really speaks early 2000s to me because of how popular they were with rappers and shit. Mid 2000s would be the Veyron

Em2 coupe for me. Just because it sold really well where i live, there is still tons of them.

A car will not get you laid, its what you used to buy that car that will.

>Why does everyone use auto trans?
Because they're comfy and easier to drive
>What are the high stall converters do?
Help you launch at a higher rpm
>Why autos?
Cheap, less work, 350/350 is the cheapest drivetrain available

Most do not have a manual valvebody

>>16430347
why are boomers so fucking gay

what type of transmission does roadkill always use. It's like auto but they have 1,2,3 + OD it seems like. Like it runs on a stick, but it doesn't shift in the conventional way. It's like they pull back to gear up and then fold it for OD

No, VWs are much harder to work on too.

>>16430089
easy going, VW sucks ass with part prices

>>16430089
Nope. so much easier to deal with than VW. The cars are more reliable and part prices are cheaper.

>>16429680
It's called leasing or financing. You'd be surprised how cheap a 7 year loan I'd per month. For kids living at home a minimum wage job can pay for a car easily when you have no other bills to your name

>>16429694
But how do they afford the insurance and/or maintenance?

>>16429701
The maintenance on a new car is nonexistent outside of oil changes and shit

The insurance is easy too. Kids who love at home can piggy back on their parents insurance by putting the parent on the title/registration of the car. The insurance sees that the car is registered to the parent and gives the parent their reduced rate. The kid probably pays the parent because paying for insurance on your own if you're under 25 is ridiculous. Getting your parents to front you insurance is an easy way to get sub 100 dollar a month paymentd

kek

in being a retarded autist.

>>16429728
How was I a retarded autist. This guy emailed me every day about the car, then said it was priced at a great deal when it was not.

I told him what I felt it was worth and he got upset.

Can't be taught over internet.

basics:
the third pedal over to the left moves two sandpaper-y disks apart when you press it in. that is the clutch.
the gears are always spinning. the lever locks different gears to the input/output shafts so power is transmitted from them. this mechanism has extra clutch-like things that synchronize shit before the gears engage. if you try to shift before things aren't synchronized it'll feel like you can't get the lever in. if you have problems shifting, make sure the engine speed is in the ballpark for that gear and your road speed (ie: 20mph in 2nd gear is 2000 RPM)

starting:
if you try and run the engine while the car is stopped an the disks are locked together it'll stall because it doesn't produce enough power at low RPMs to move the car, so you have to use the pedal to slowly rub the disks together until the car has some momentum before fully engaging them. you might also have to give it some extra gas while doing it depending on the car and whether or not you are on a hill.
shifting:
clutch in, shift into desired gear just as engine revolutions begin to reach desired range and then clutch out when they're nearly exact
same thing for downshifting except you press the gas pedal to raise the revs


DO NOT DOWNSHIFT IN CORNERS
UPSHIFT IN CORNERS WITH THE GREATEST CARE
BURNOUTS CAN DESTROY YOUR CLUTCH
THE CLUTCH MAY SLIP AGAINST ITSELF WHEN PROVIDED WITH EXCESSIVE POWER ON ONE END AND EXCESSIVE RESISTANCE ON THE OTHER. IF THIS HAPPENS TOO OFTEN THE CAR WILL BECOME UNUSABLE UNTIL YOU BUY A NEW CLUTCH.
now you know how to drive stick enjoy

move the gear stick in whatever direction you want when you hear the engine is about to explode while holding down the clutch and horn
thank me later
