So im a poorfag and can't afford to store my car in a garage for the winter. What effects would then cold and snow have on my car if it was just sitting unstarted somewhere with no battery the whole winter?

If it is cold enough your car will be in suspended animation. Wet snow is the worst.

make sure coolant has enough antifreeze so it won't go solid and crack pipes or something

Fill up fuel, take out battery (and trickle-charge it while out), fill up tires (52psi). Cardboard off the windows, if you can. Or a big tarp over it. If not, it's not the end of the world.

If LFA is so bad, why Clarkson, one of the most renowned car experts in the world says its the best car he ever tested?

Because there's a very wide gulf between simply being fast and being supremely well-engineered and thought-out.
The LFA is the latter.

Tires matter far more than drivetrain.

Drivers matter more than both.
FWD just makes snow easy mode without needing 4WD.

At the risk of being told the fuck off i'm making this post in hopes that some of you could help me with a decision. I'm looking into one these cars and i need info on reliability on the following 2005 models.

Chrysler 300c 5..7 Hemi
Grand Cherokee 5..7 Hemi limited
Audi a8 4.2 V8

And general opinions on the Volvo xc90 V8 which is my most " sensible " choice that's not very fun but probably the least idiotic. The general idea here is a large V8 at around 10 years old so i welcome any suggestions.

I know quite a lot of people with problems on audis 4.2(quite complicated to repair too), chrysler 300c hemi is quite an amazing car for the price and quite a looker in yurop and the hemi doesn't have much problems at least my friends from USA car club don't have them on these cars. I think the jeep is the most sensible choice, very dependable(don't fell for the quality and chrysler reliability too quickly) it's AWD so no problems in winter, very roomy, fun, still looks good after all these years, american v8s are best in my opinion(simple to repair if you are worried about that), it still hold value very well sick acceleration and very very good handling for a big and comfy car

So guys, I drive a "newish" 2.0 TDI Bluemotion Passat.

It had to go in today for VW to fix the "emission scandal" on my car.

When they collected it from my works, they crashed my car into a barrier, and mounted a concrete bollard.

It's damaged the light, wing? Mirror and door.

Obviously, they have accepted they will fix it free of charge.

But I want a warranty on my car, as compensation. What happens if they damaged the sump? Or anything underneath?

What's the best way of telling them they fucked up and I want something for free?

Bought my first car. Polo 1.4 SE 75.

I posted here a few days ago before I bought the thing and just got abuse from burgers about lel Eurocuck shitbox etc etc. Whatever.

So come at me some more. I don't care. I'm buzzing that I finally have a car and its been well maintained and has good mileage for its age.

Is that the exact car? Doesn't have an MOT - mot-history.net

Looks nice though, history doesn't show anything worrying. Maybe get the tracking done but that isn't expensive. Much nicer than a Corsa or a Fiesta, enjoy anon

Its not the exact car but same model and colour.

I got it for £2000. Had the cam belt and water pump replaced and oil and antifreeze changed as part of the deal. I'm going to get my mechanic to take a look this weekend but I'm hoping for no shocks. One lady owner etc, only done about 5-6k a year the past 5 years.

>Currently undergoing tests and this car will be making it's debut in the 2017 Rolex 24 at Daytona in late January 2017.

Powered by a Mazda MZ-2.0T in-line 4cyl engine that is said to produce 600+hp.(There is no more info of the engine other than this.)

Soon there will be elections here and I want to piss off liberal as much as possible

In the beginning I thought to rent a hummer h1 to reach the polling stations, but are there some tricks to make my car pollute and consume more for a couple of days?

Bonus: I'd like to have the blackest and most festering exhaust smoke possible

I plan to pass in front of the polling stations every one or two hours

Random person takes a photo of your car.
License plate GET DESU
Even if you rent a car you're gonna be busted since they know the date and time you rented specific car.
Not only do you have to pay for ruining a poll, you're gonna pay for possibly ruining the rented cars engine.

Why are retards age 16 allowed to drive cars in USA, and why are you posting on this 18+ board?

Should I stop splitting lanes?

Do you split lanes? Is it legal to split lanes where you are and does that effect what you do?

I did all the time, saved more then half my time commuting compared to a car, but im between bikes at the moment. Legal over in new zealand so everyone on two wheels does it. Only problem i can see with you doing it in Oregon is if someone desides to cut you off and cause a crash you'll be deemed at fault.

But you in america, carry a shotgun and you should be fine

I just hate it when they honk at me or yell at me out of their window. Since I'm from California I'm used to motorcycles speeding past while I'm in traffic, but Oregon drivers fucking suck and they're all pussies cause I live in Portland (the most liberal city in the US) so me splitting lanes damages their delicate sensibilities

why do manufacturers fail so hard to make a solid interior? it's either too cluttered or tacky as shit. is it really so hard to have a smooth unified set of lines connecting the dash to the doors? jesus.

there is not a single modern car that falls within this criteria and it's depressing. it's all segmented garbage. it looks like somebody just clipped together a thousand panels.

I was going to get a Ford Fiesta a few years ago for muh empeegeez. When I got in the car the first fucking thing I saw was a fucking 10 digit number pad. Why a fucking number pad? Didnt buy it because of that. By the time they did get rid of it I didnt want one anymore. Fuck you.

I always see videos of DCT Lamborghinis or Mercedes in traffic or at stop lights just revving their engines. They're usually either stopped or just rolling forward. How are they doing this? Are they shifting into neutral? Is that done with the paddle shifters, or is there a gear select like in an automatic?

They're definitely in neutral, but I'm not sure how they put it into neutral.

all transmissions have a neutral setting
