I think we've all heard plenty of car stories from people which were clearly embellished if not completely false. Share yours.

I'll start.

So I'm at a friend's house, talking to his buddy who drives a 07 Golf GTI...
>stage 1 bro
Upon learning that I own an IS350, this guy felt it necessary to inform me of his conquests over other 350's.
>yeah this white IS tried to race me from a roll on the highway and i got him by a car length
>probably an automatic though
Me:
>It only comes in auto...

He then went on to claim how his stage 1 routinely "spanks" Nissan Z's

why is that bullshit? can't you get over 300hp with stage 1? it is probably lighter than an IS as well.

I hate VAG fags and drive an IS but you sound ass mad.

literally no one cares about 2nd gen IS's for tuning, probably why he doesn't know only 250's have 6spd option.

What was that one famous custom shop that did Minis? I had an old coworker who bought one used, ended up a $500/mo payment.

It was just an S-type with a badge on it. He was either fronting or an idiot that got screwed. Also said he was an 0331, didn't get past AIT or whatever the marine equivalent is.

How come the "CVT's are unreliable XD" meme continues to exist when a lot busses use them and they run near 24/7 and have 1000lbs/ft+ of torque?

don't busses use sequential with 10+ gears ? like freight trucks ?

>>16327740
Most busses in the UK are a 4 speed I think, maybe have more gears but I've never been on one going fast enough to hear it go up to 5th if 5th exists.

I'm on a hybrid-diesel bus right this second that from the sound of it I'm pretty damn sure it's a CVT. It just drones constantly on accelaration.

That's diesels in general. They don't rev very high.

>didn't just let brake check the retard on the second pullover

Also, driving a sedan or low car guarantees that cars with higher ground clearance will obviously blind you with headlights. Barring new models whose headlights are incorrectly adjusted out of the factory, this is par for the course if you drive a car and not a crossover, SUV or truck.

NEWS: many people do think you're obnoxious with that feature. It used to be a common complaint many years ago on many different online forums. But since the SUVs are here to stay as daily drivers, people have given up complaining about them and their drivers' unconsciously self-arrogant attitudes towards others.

Sup /o/. I recently got pulled over for going 23mph over the speed limit. I told the cop my speedo must be off, but I don't think she bought it. I was compliant and polite like any sane fucker. I'm in Virginia, and this is my first offence. How fucked am I?

I was ticketed, that's why I'm here. Plus it's not a total lie. It is off by about 5mph.

So I've noticed something about this car I recently bought. It shifts smoothly, but for some reason when I get up between 35-45 mph the whole thing starts to shake. It stops once I'm out of this range.

Any ideas?

When's the last time your tires were balanced?
Also wheel bearing.
>>
>>16326775
Bought this fucker from some old dude a couple days ago for cheap. The tires all need replaced, so it could definitely be related to what you said.
>>
>>16326779
Tires are going to be number one, had the same issue. If it is rear wheel drive, take a look at you drive shaft center support bearing assembly and flex disks if your car comes with them.

But since you said the tires need replacing and it only happens between 35 45, it's 99% them. Get new rubbers and ensure a balance gets done.

I'm not terribly experienced with cars and thought I'd get your advice. There is a '99 V6 Camaro for sale and I was thinking about picking it up. Does anyone have experience with these? Anything I should look out for?

Pic related, not the car I'm looking at but the same model. I think...

Owned a 1998 V6, virtually identical minus the gas tanks and lack of TC.
>The 4-speed auto is a slog, the 3800 is an absolute tank.
>T-Tops are neat, but they'll probably leak a bit.
>The window motors like to die on them, but they're not terribly hard to replace.
>ECM might have a bad solder that will fuck with your radio and windows. That's a bitch to get out, but pretty straightforward to fix on your own.

All said, not a bad first car. It'll spin the tires a bit if you turn the TC off It has its quirks, but I quite liked mine.
