My car has pretty much absolutely no functions or extra equipment

The only "useful" thing are the different bulbs, greasing guides & schedules, oil capacity and such

Get a $50 shopvac on amazon. It's insanely overpowered for the price. The motor also doubles as a blower if you want it to. Shit is nuts

Why would you keep the vacuum in your trunk?

Why not in your fucking house and then clean your car when you're home?

I have a rechargeable hand vac mounted to my garage wall for little quick shit. Works the charm.

The Shop Vac QSP2 comes out for "goddamnit" jobs.

If this was California I'd bet the drivers were a bunch of liberals who were too busy crying over the fact that trump won
But it's in Kansas
So I don't know what the fuck happened
GG no re

Not tailgating means I have to pay more for fuel that isn't freedom

dude weed lamo

FWD. People not even knowing what drivetrain they have is why I won't touch Craigslist.

Guys i'm a little scared. Over the course of the week, i've witnessed two different soccer moms take a picture of my license plate at a stop light. I dont drive too fast so why the fuck are they doing this?

Afaik, they were all FWD as they left the showroom. Since some of them were based on the Mitsu Eclipse platform I've heard of people doing the AWD conversion using Mitsu parts.

I'd avoid unless I knew the guy who did the conversion was a professional. It would suck to drop a rear propshaft while going down the highway.

Good if you don't live in a no fault state or you want to make a couple bucks selling grisly car crash footage to the local news

>>16248855
Topkek! I see you have fallen for the merchants tricks! They are a shifty people that make their living on gullable goyms. I would not use it, as you will only be datamining on their behalf.

cars are infinitely rebuildable excluding accidents. it will last as long as you keep fixing it

>>16275544
alright

when can i expect more expensive parts of my car to start failing. like the engine, or the transmission. or the wiper blades

>>16275554
If you keep the oil and coolant changed and the transmission fluid changed they'll last forever. But even if those failed you should fix it because it's cheaper than a down payment on a new appliance.

Godspeed, anon.
I can't help you, but I would like you to know that you are living my dream.

It does something. These products always work in theory and under lab studies but the actual effect on the road is arguable. I wouldn't mind paying a little extra for something like Marvel Mystery Oil or some upper cylinder lubricants but I can't really say what it does.

Don't add too much of anything though, many states allow as much as 15% ethanol in gas, keep adding all this other shit and you might start to chug along. Also MMO goes in the engine oil as well so there's that.

honestly, i don't think it does much if you run it through the fuel system. I have had it work to degunk things in the engine. Mostly on variable valve timing systems where they have a sticking actuator.

Tests were done using these fluids on injectors. I guess they had a device that measures the efficiency of the injectors and they compared before and after. Basically these meme additives showed a 1/600thincrease in efficiency of the injectors which is basically nnothung as this is within the margin of error of just testing. So this shit is useless for any kind of "fuel system degunking"

Go WOT frequently or use ultrasonic cleaners. Don't waste money on that snake oil

California's standards already control the market.

Since there are 38 million people in that state. They have to make everything comply with them.

I think emissions should be done more like europe.

you get taxed based on what your car emits. If you don't want to pay so much fucking tax. you get a car that emits less.

>>16274444
Then why bother with the Federal Fleet Emission standards? They just force the cost of dealing with emissions requirements on all cars made by the manufacturer instead of just specific requirements.

>What would happen
The U.S. economy would skyrocket like the 1950's and beautiful cars would return.

23k in cash? Why not trade in for a luxury VW?

Get a CTS

Newer chargers are pretty fucking good; if you want an automatic, RWD, comfy, powerful landbarge I'd go with that. Would recommend an N55 335i if you have 25k~ish to spend and want manual, though.
