Considering that breakdown cover is cheap?
Not unless I know them.
And even then, only if it's something I can fix.

My mother once tried to help a crashed motorist, and nearly got carjacked. And I believe that if you don't maintain your shit, you deserve what you get.

I only stop for someone if It's either very cold or very hot. Or if they are hurt

And even that is rare for me, Most of the time I'll just keep driving.

I helped one lady last winter that plowed into a tree on a rural road while it was snowing. She had a 4-7yo with her and the kid's head was bleeding (presumably from not wearing a seat belt). While I was talking to her I could smell liquor on her breath so I told her to go sit in my car and stay warm with her daughter and I would call a tow truck. Called the police instead

She was VERY mad when the police pulled up behind my car lol
The police arrested her for a DUI and felony firearm (she had a loaded shotgun behind the bench seat)

repostan because old thread is going to 404

if you have no idea where it went then most likely a previous owner did the kickdown delete.

The kickdown on a c6 is on the same shaft as the shift linkage(driver side), The vacuum modulator is on the passenger side. Look close at that pic, you'll see a shaft that protrudes outside of the shift lever, that's where the kickdown should have went(I deleted it).

You don't have to run a kickdown, and they only really kick down below 45mph I think anyway, and that's only at WOT. You do however need to keep the vacuum modulator unless you run a full manual valve body. This controls the shift timing and shift hardness just like what >>16348632 said.

My dad used to talk about the olds rocket 88 he had, was that what they called the engine, I remember him saying how fast it was.

>>16348838
I'll check. It's weird. When the transmission is cold, of you are sitting at about 36mph (I have 4.11s) while going up an incline at part throttle the transmission will flutter between gears. Is this something to worry about?

But any car can be a fun car anon

>>16370823

Because a 5 million dollar simulator will never ever come close to the tactile feel of even a $500 shitbox. I bet you think a fleshlight is close enough to "the real thing" too.

>>16370844
but new cars don't have any feeling

they all weigh 3500lbs and have electronics that take all the feeling and control away

Bitter poorfags pls go

Why didn't he just lease it if barely drives it?

>getting damaged from staying inside a garage

I don't think that's how it works....

Some people like to save their nice cars for occasional driving, so they don't get dinged/dented/generally beat up by regular driving.

Anything remotely modern is fine with being driven once a week or once a month. As long as the battery doesn't go flat, not driving it won't screw anything up.

>never heard of Standschaden.

Do me a favor and google it.

In America most plebs have no clue

I hope they fix that.

>Has no trunk

Besides it handling well on a track which 99% of its buyers won't use it for, what makes this car a logical buy?

>>16372315
They never were cool

Why do you give a shit what someone else thinks about your car? Just do whatever you like to your car.
