Try to match your recommendation to the functional utility of the car in question.
I'll start:
Used GLA 45 AMG - $45,000
G63 AMG
>>16414871
brand new ford focus RS
>>16414871
Just get one of these. Use the leftover $15k-$20k to buy an actual AMG.
Ford 302 oil dipstick tube replacement
Do I just hammer this bitch in or what? I just have a hole in my engine block that splashes oil out right now
it should just slide in....
That tab bolts to the head.
>>16414819
It's too wide at the bottom only the very bottom 8th of an inch is tapered. Upon comparison it seems the OEM one is wider at the top too and pressed to fit narrow at the bottom. I think it's a maleable metal but Im not sure and didn't want to jusy hammer it in
>>16414849
then try using a 2x4 or some shit so you don't ding it up.
Make sure the old dip stick didn't break off flush with the hole first.
Talk me out of it please
>>16414717

Hopefully others will find this thread useful.
I've been driving stick for about 8 weeks in a 98 Accord shitbox (pic related). I'm competent and don't stall anymore, but my shifts aren't always perfect.
How long did it take /o/ to achieve really smooth shifts all the time, or do you ever get to that point?
>>16414646
i got pretty proficient at it around 3 months
i learned in an old pos chevy truck though
>>16414646
Took me about a day.
Thanks mom for teaching me.
>>16414646
This is something I have been wondering myself. I've been driving stick for about a month now and it's still pretty rough sometimes
How old is too old to be driving cars with big wings and shit?
I've always been a 'too classy for riceboy' fag when I was younger but the whole Evo/sti look has really been growing on me lately that I am looking to finally owning one. fuck the whole 90s Jap sportscar aesthetic has been growing on me
I'm approaching 30 (27 right now). Am I getting too old for this shit
Like I won't be going full ridiculous rice. Just stock rice
IMO wings are fine if they're OEM.
fucking idiot
>>16414454
>Am I getting too old for this shit
Yes. I was thinking 25 as the upper range.
I have been looking for the answer all afternoon but aparently my google-fu is too weak or I am too retarded to find the answer myself
What sorts of specs do I need to look at when looking for a car radio so that is compatible with my current car? I have old 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage that I want to upgrade with a nice radio but I have no idea what to look for so that it is compatible with the car
just go to the crutchfield website and use the wizard
done
All radios are compatible with all cars, basically. You either have single-DIN or double-DIN space to work with. The one in your pic is single, double is twice as tall as that.
If you're looking for an upgrade and you don't know fuck about car stereos (you don't or else you wouldn't be asking this) look for one that has small amplification built into it. Most stock car speakers are 10 watts each, if you want more volume look for one that's 40-50 watts on each channel. Buy some better speakers to match or else you'll blow out the factory ones.
As far as hooking it up, best buy and walmart have wiring harnesses that convert your old wiring to the new radio, it's extremely straightforward with color coded wires.
>>16414386
This, to be honest.
>>16414399
This anon is, in general, correct.
You will also need a dash kit to make it fit the factory trim. Most likely anyway, some cars have true single or double DIN and have no need for it.
So people are all mass circlejerking electric cars because they're supposedly cleaner or more efficient than normal gas burning cars, right? My problem with this is that the electricity still has to come from somewhere, so you're still expending energy to push the pistons and make the car move.
Why hasn't anyone done work towards making a car that doesn't need energy to move? All you would have to do is open the throttle and it would go - no need to charge up the car or pump it full of gas. A car that didn't need energy to move would be way better for the environment than pumping oil or strip mining minerals for batteries.
Electricity is not the clean energy, but a readily accessible alternative energy, while oil maybe will not gonna run out in our live time, but extraction will be harder and more expensive. Also for countries like Japan and China, also some European countries, those have to import oil to satisfy domestic needs, electricity is an better alternative choice since there are more ways to generate electricity, if more and more of their citizens turned to electric cars, oil can be saved for more strategic use.
Also, the environmental impact of generating electricity will be hugely depend on the method, country with more percentage of nuclear power plant will likely be cleaner running electric cars than countries with coal burning power

>Why hasn't anyone done work towards making a car that doesn't need energy to move?
I see you failed grade 4 science class
>>16414170
most electricity comes from dams. Soooo in a way its made by gravity. Thats about as clean as it gets.
also energy is required to do work...so you have to have energy to move a car on level or uphill roads.
Why can't cars be simple to work on anymore?
They are, just don't buy new.
>>16414182
and dont buy after 2003
There are plenty of Beetles on Craigslist.
Who is this marketed towards?
fags badge whores and broke moms
i'd take a base a4 over a cla desu
hell even a mid trim passat
Millenials who want to look richer than they are, and think they can afford it, but actually can't.
>>16413633
the filters still on?
desu lad baka
Why does the Miata get so much hate? I get that the styling is a bit feminine, but the car itself is pretty solid. Plus it has a nicer butt than most girls I've met.
>>16412869
Barbie car stigma, isn't a straight line monster. But you knew this already and wanted a shitposting thread.
Probably because it's gay.
The wrong kind of fag car, the one that screams "down my throat, not up my butt"
Do y/o/u like aircrafts?
yes
but I don't know much about them
and I have no one to talk with about them
>>16412661
Yea
>>16412661
Yes. I used to work for an aircraft mechanic for a while over the summer
>3,000 HP
>82,000 lbs of continuous tractive effort
How can your shitbox even compete with a 45 year old SD40-2?
>>16412559
lolcantturn
literally cannot turn
>>16412559
By not having to stay on rails.
Hell, it doesn't even really need to stay on roads for that matter.
>>16412559

> Still using an EMD 645 prime mover
Wew lad...
why aren't slant backs more popular?
regulations?
they look cool as fuck
>>16412558
they look cool yes but are bad for practical storage reasons.
>>16412562
but all those coupe abominations that merc and bmw are making sell pretty good and they have normal trunks
>>16412625
They are basically the same thing.
Forget cars you want to drive, which car do you most want to be DRIVEN in?
>>16412407
I think a newer model escalade is the most based car to be driven around in. It's high above the ground so the ride is smooth and you don't have to duck down whenever you get into it. Also they're literally huge and compared to most other luxury SUVs in the price range they're well-equipped
Is this what happens when bus riders dream of what they want to own. Are they so used to having other people drive them they aspire to have a nicer bus?
