was your 'friend' a girl?

>>16301275

Nope, 20 yr old man

>>16301272
I mean to be fair your friend is right in most cases, though maybe not your own. These big fucking tanks like the Tahoe/Suburban you are showing in that picture are usually purchased by women who are like

>muh vehicle size
>muh safety
>bigger cars i won't die in
>muh visibility need moar see

and thus instead of buying Civics and Corollas that will do everything they need just fine they buy crossovers and SUVs and proceed to do this with them

So you're friend isn't entirely wrong in a big picture.

Because hybrids are for cucks

>>16301214
because as usual until the aftermarket crowd latch onto it, it wont be worth shit the factory original systems will always be shit.
Something like this would be amazing

it's so they don't need to build a whole new factory to create the car. they can build them on the same lines as other cars if the design is similar enough. also saves on R&D and component pricing if you keep the carry over volumes up.

Roush.

Murdered out Subaru.

Probably the alternator

>>16300573
Would it still be able to start with a bad alternator like that? Assuming the battery is dead.

>>16300582
You might be able to start it up but if you can't charge the battery eventually it won't.

Something similar to that happened in my 06 TL. It made it home and died and wouldn't start but started up one more time randomly.

I've seen a few places use Chrysler 300s

>>16299262
Most likely yes. I was working airport pickup in LA up until a few days ago. Livery services here seem to prefer Escalades, Suburbans and Town Cars, with the occasional XTS, MKZ Hybrid or Mercedes S/E. I've seen a few CT6 already in livery service. We'll probably start seeing more once the Hybrid model has a US launch. Drivers and firms seems to latch on to one preferred brand and stick with it. We'll probably see a lot of Town Cars replaced with the Continental in the near future, while the CT6 will replace most XTS units in service right now. The XTS isn't particularly reliable and CUE sucks so I think we may see an unprecedented slew of former GM drivers switching to Lincoln or Mercedes, even more so when the Continental Hybrid and E-Class hybrid launch.

>>16299262
>Do you think Continentals will replace all the town cars and XTS's I see across the city

Depends how the future production quality will be since they are moving the assembly line, carriage parts, and internal parts sourcing to China (that was before Trump though). Thus it would be essentially a chinese-made car sold under the Lincoln badge.

never since Im not autistic

Daily. What kind of pleb do you take me for?

Unless it's something delicate like rod bolts or main bearing caps, no. Tight enough is tight enough

Source two transmissions before you buy one if you ever plan on getting on it.

>>16298533
What's wrong with the transmission?

>>16297804
I meant the door opened all the way on its own in a slow motion and hit the wall, the car was obviously stationary.

Also 2014 Wrangler 3.6 Pentastar 6-speed manual.

Pod filter intake + driver aids delete + axle-back muffler woo buddy.

It's actually pretty fast, stock 0-60 is supposedly 6.5 sec. Open rear differential sucks though.
