Why will some people abstain from purchasing or driving a manual vehicle because of eventual need to replace the clutch but then go out and buy a car with two clutches? Can /o/ explain this to me?

Because they believe it's less work for them while almost providing the same level of performance.

>>16245898
Yeah I can understand that but like most will go
>clutches go bad and are expensive to replace
But then they show you their new car and it's got a DCT and they don't seem to put two and two together.
They now double the amount of clutches, double the amount stuff to go wrong and doubled the cost of replacement. Unless somehow the clutches in DCTs don't need replacement

>abstain from purchasing or driving a manual vehicle because of eventual need to replace the clutch
who even does this
people only abstain from purchasing or driving a manual if they don't know how to or don't want to put in the effort to do it

If I move to South Alabama and buy a Miata will I get beat up/keyed/coal rolled?

As a follow-up, is there anything in South Alabama?

Most deep south areas respect miatas now as a platform, so most likely you'd just get a lot of offers to buy it.

Best contractor/utility truck on the market, g/o/ys? For me it has to be the F-Super Duty series, its all I've ever used and has never failed me (to an extent).

That being said I'm willing to listen to RAM fags and GMC proponents correct me if I am wrong. I'm a great plumber and a pretty good carpenter, but automotive mechanics isn't my strongest point.

You're not going to have to dig deep into your brand new truck on the regular. That's what a warranty is for.

Earlier today an anon asked me in a thread that got deleted what country I am from that slaps a 115% import tax on diesels and said it sounded like sulphur-free paradise. The country in question is Uruguay. It isn't really sulfur-free paradise though, because the diesel they refine here is shit (to the point that it breaks common-rail engines if you use it). There's another diesel, imported, called "10-S" too. It has 10ppm of sulfur. The regular one has 50ppm.
Gas and diesel prices here are as follows:
97 octane, lead free, 30 ppm sulfur: UYU 44.10/liter USD 1.55/liter USD 5.86/US gal
95 octane, lead free, 30 ppm sulfur: UYU 42.50/liter USD 1.49/liter USD 5.64/US gal
Diesel, 50 ppm sulfur: UYU 38.70/liter USD 1.36/liter USD 5.14/US gal
Diesel, 10 ppm sulfur: UYU 49.20/liter USD 1.73/liter USD 6.53/US gal

Also import tax is as follows:
Import tax between 2007 and 2012:
Under 1,000 cc 20%
Between 1,000 cc and 1,500 cc 25%
Between 1,500 cc and 2,000 cc 30%
Between 2,000 cc and 3,000 cc 35%
Over 3,000 cc 40%
Passenger diesels 100%
Utility gas vehicles 10%
Utility diesel vehicles 70%
Hybrids 3%
Hybrids over 2,500 cc 30%

Import tax after 2012
Under 1,000 cc 23%
Between 1,000 cc and 1,500 cc 28.75%
Between 1,500 cc and 2,000 cc 34.5%
Between 2,000 cc and 3,000 cc 40.25%
Over 3,000 cc 46%
Passenger diesels 115%
Utility gas vehicles 11.5%
Utility diesel vehicles 80.5%
Hybrids 3.45%
Hybrids over 2,500 cc 34.5%

The whole tax situation has had terrible consequences on safety, most people drive around in chinese cars or Susuki Altos which are about as bad. Thankfully VW has recently brought the Up! which is really safe in case of collision and has a nice price, but there's still the issue that overtaking becomes a hazard if you have an anemic 55 hp engine. Any questions about the country and what it's like to drive here, what are the cars like, etc, are welcome.

Oh and the capital city is the 9th with the worst air quality in Latin America, largely owing that to having an outdated public transport system comprised of buses only. No metro, no tramway, no train.

>you're driving your outdated shitbox down the road at 11pm
>you're doing 45mph and Eurobeat is pumpin'
>all of a sudden you see an opossum in the road directly lined up with your front, driver's side tire

Wut do?

Do you:

>slam on the brakes
>swerve to avoid it
>power through the opossum

Hardmode:

>a deer (or larger) darts out in front of you with minimal distance for you to react

wut do in this situation?

My procedure has always been if it's a squirrel or whatever at less than 30mph, try and let it fuck off, but if it's any bigger and I'm going any faster, it's dead; that is, up until the point of something like a deer.

I've hit squirrels, opossums and armadillos in my car with zero damage.

When I was younger, I was sharing an '01 Mercury Grand Marquis with my younger brother (I was 19, he was 16) and he hit a deer with it at 40mph, but all that happened was that the plastic grill got cracked and the deer was pulverized.

Do you c/o/cks try and avoid animals at the risk of over-correcting to the point of damaging your vehicle or do you let the dumb fuckers die?

>opossum
Didn't even know what they were until I Googled it.

No way I'm swerving or braking for those fuckers. Animals are stupid as fuck and I waste far too much time slowing down for them. They look about the same size as rabbits and rabbits do zero damage when you hit them.

If a deer jumped out I'd probably panic brake and swerve.

Around where I live there are ten billion pheasants and they are fucking annoying. They have absolutely no sense of fear and will just walk in front of your car whenever they like, I've killed at least a dozen in the last year.

I once hit one going 90mph+, had no time to react as it ran out, it made a pretty hefty thud so I got out to check the damage and I lost my fucking towing eye cover, so now I have a shitty unpainted one. Not five minutes after inspecting the damage of the previous impact, another one flew into my wing mirror, I really doubt it survived because the window had a bunch of feathers and pretty horrible guts looking shit all over.

>>16242870
Hit it as long as the collision won't kill you. Most insurance companies cover deer strikes but will fuck with you if you swerved to miss a deer and wreck

Euro style medium and heavy duty trucks are ugly as fuck and powered by 4 cylinder diesels. They have ugly grey rims and are covered in grey plastic because you can't afford chrome.

Putting aside the fact that riding a scooter looks gay as fuck, what are exactly the cons compared to an average motorcycle?

I notice that if I come back from a hoon, I can't calm down in the city. So I often keep my bike in 6th so it doesn't have the torque to suddenly get me in danger.

This, there's a reason I bought an automatic minitruck, a 4cyl can't pull 3500 lbs of truck anywhere fast. It even has some perks
> A.) I can tow my 5spd hoonbox away if I break down
> B.) it is hard to fit spares, parts and tools in a gutted Miata
> C.) No more walking 5mi to the bus 3 hours early for work because I grenaded something in my only car
> D.) no more dealing with a twin-disk in hellish traffic
> E.) my domestic-partner can't drive stick, so now he isn't trapped in the house and can actually buy groceries
