Pro-tips thread? Pro-tips thread.
It's likely that your front brake discs will be hot enough to boil water, especially after hooning your car after around Twisties.
Pro-tip: don't jam all of your fingers through the spokes of your wheels to see if your brake discs are warm.
Ah, I can actually shorten this pro tip to make it even easier to read:
Don't be a fucking retard

Drain the oil and replace it with antifreeze so the engine doesn't freeze on cold winter nights.
>>16328060
if you want a posi rear to fix that one wheel peel, just crack open the diff, let it drain, and fill it with sand! sand will slow the free rotation inside the diff for a more locked behavior, at a fraction of the cost! This is something BMW actually does, and, well, they make the ultimate driving machine!
Let's be real here /o /. By far the single worst mass market car of the 00's had to have been the Dodge Neon.

Nice try nip, still sad you had nothing that could compete against the SRT-4 which still holds the fastest 0-60 mph time for a mass production fwd car. Oh yea i forgot to this day the Type R has never been able to touch the SRT-4.

These cars aren't made for consumers, man. They are used for commercial applications. There are tons of car models like this that you can't help but wonder why the fuck they exist but it's really just mass produced shit used for rental companies etc
Dodge Dart? More like Dodge Fart.
A thread died for this.
>>16327556
i giggled
>>16327556
That's why they're killing it off in favor of the...
Ahem.
ALL NEW DODGE NEON!

Does anybody else fucking hate cleaning their car?
It takes so long to even do a basic job, and doing any proper detailing would take me forever.
And then it seems like right after I clean it, it's covered in dirt and dead bugs again.
I'm tempted to buy a pressure washer just to save some time.
>>16316093
pressure washer makes things 100 times easier
just blast it for a couple minutes whenever
People who do this should be put in an interment camp.
Who cares, it's removed in two minutes.
>>16315367
Into the camp you go
>what's wrong? don't you guys want to be festivvvveee?? lol its sooo quirky!!!
Why does /o/ hate manual transmissions?
>>16312350
Because most of them are under 30?
You speak as if /o/ is one entity
>>16312350
because most of them are benchracing/busriding scum who have only played car games.
They think automatic is best because they don't have to learn to drive other than turning the steering wheel and pushing on the gas/brake
Is your car ready for the winter?
Snows are on. Should probably toss a shovel and some planks in back. Didn't have time to zaino it beforehand.
Yes.

>Aluminum Foldable Shovel

Ready as I'll ever be senpai, until I get it wrapped anyways
A common thing Dutch people do is throw a bag of kitty litter in the back. It makes for great traction material for next to nothing

What are some rare or interesting cars you've spotted lately?
saw a 90's Grand Wagoneer the other day.
do you suppose if and when they bring back the Wagoneer (like theyve been planning) they'll bring back the wood side trim?
I drive by this boomer that hoards RX-7s and miatas
>>16325654
>lot for sale
whats the story here?
Are used Porsches with high miles-clocked-in a good purchase?
For example this 2008 911 Carerra has done like 75k miles and it still looks clean and hot. It costs 32k.
Most 911s in this year range are similarly priced too.
I have 50k in my hand now. Should I proceed buying my childhood dream car at the age of 28?
>>16323378
>>16323380
I ask this question because I heard Porsches are fairly reliable in the long run.
