Are highway pulls the least skilled type of racing?
They're not racing.
A bunch of douchebag vapekiddies doing rolls on the highway in their parents Mustangs barely qualifies as "racing".
What's lame is I do highways pulls and get all excited for the first corner and then after I look in the mirror and all I see is a dot.
When will we return to minimalistic car design?
Not less technologically advanced but just less HARSH ANGRY CREASED LINES REEEEEEEEEEEE on the outside?

At what age did you grow out of using archaic drive-train layouts such as FWD and RWD?
AWD is superior on every level. It provides undeniably better traction under acceleration, meaning improvements in corner exit speeds, driver involvement and capability in bad weather. The argument that it adds weight is of course complete nonsense as it is quite simple to shed weight in other parts of the car to make the weight equal to a two wheel drive system.

>that's what I thought
Well, I think my 91 Volvo 240 may be a goner. I had just had my belts adjusted and I ended up having a seizure while parked. I woke up, and when I went to go drive it i started to get smoke through my vents and even though I got it driven home, it's kind of done. I can turn the key and all the lights etc come on but the starter doesn't engage at all. Here are pics of the wiring harness and culprit.
If anyone could help it would be much appreciated
My wiring harness from that plug is split all the way to the firewall.
>>16163741
Plus the nice wire that came off. Whatever it was plugged into completely melted
>>16163741
>just had my belts adjusted
Is it possible that the tech did some damage?
You should probably go to the doctor if you had a seizure.

How are the parts on those? Because you'd need to replace them relatively frequently I assume.

Honestly, I loved the Mazda 6 the most. It was the most fun econobox I've driven, the v6 on it was torquey as fuck. It took corners well, the autotragic slapshift was fun, and it was overall a great car. Mazda makes really good econoboxes.
After learning manual and switching to the Mazdaspeeds, I still look back to those times driving a Mazda 6 to work and back. It got me into wanting faster performance cars.
I miss my first car.

Shitboxes are loved by /o/. We like to say they have character. We beat them to hell, and they somehow still go another 50k miles. When brand new with 4 miles on the odometer, we smugly donned these vehicles "econoboxes". But they matured, such as a fine wine does. They surived to 300k miles with minimal repairs. Just like a soldier earns the Purple Heart, our "econoboxes" earned their reputation as the "shitbox". There are a few cars that will always be known as great little shitboxes: the Toyota Corolla, our beloved Twingo, and America's frontrunner, The Geo Metro.
The Geo Metro was conceived much the same way I was: during a 4am cocaine fueled grope session in the back seat of an AMC Gremlin.
The year was 1987. A few Detroit executives who were down on their luck decided that we need a car designed for real human beans. A car that would love its 8th owner more than its original buyer. A car that had seen 3 oil changes its first 100k miles, but now is pampered by synthetic blend every 2,999 miles. Sunroof? Fuck that! 4 cylinders? Nope! We want 4 wheels, 3 cylinders, 2 doors, and one goddamn good car.
Thus the 1989 Geo Metro was born. It reigned supreme for decades, much like a dictator in Asia. Jay Leno owns 7 Geo Metros in case you forgot. The Geo Metro is the only car to win at Monza, Laguna Seca, Silverstone, and Talladega. Ford and Chrysler appealed to the US government in 1990, saying that production of the Geo Metro created an unfair advantage for GM. Unfortunately for Ford and Chrysler, 98% of the members of Congress drove Geo Metros and loved them to death. The Geo Metro placed 4th in the 1992 Presidential election behind Ross Perot.
Some say the Chevrolet Aveo was the successor to the Geo Metro, but I refuse to believe. Nothing can ever succed over the Geo Metro when it comes to its main purpose: being a spectacular shitbox.
Why haven't you played the best racing game, /o/?
I played the shit out of that, too bad the Beetle Cup Car sucks in GT6.

Mine has gone 270,000 miles so far and I've never had a single problem with is. Never been serviced once in its lifetime. Tire change and fluid refill is all it has ever had.
I take it off road to and it has hit 3 deer at about 45MPH and runs perfectly. I beat the shit out of it to by constantly slamming the gas and pulling hectik skidz when it's raining. I have no idea how it hasn't had any problems.

Hey /o/,
as the title suggests I'm planning to drive my 1990 Corolla from upstate NY to central California. It has 137k miles on it and no major problems so I'm not too worried about it making it there.
That being said, what should I do maintenance/prevention-wise before the trip?
As well, I have a lot of shit to bring and it's a small car, so I want to look into putting a roof rack on it. How are they usually affixed?
I'd love to hear stories of other anons driving cross-country in older cars. Let's hear em.
Oh man, I'd be more worried about the cops. I had a similar car and got pulled over all the time just because it was an older car, it'll be a cop magnet.
Did someone throw paint stripper on it?
>>16162339
Please tell me that's a tach on the hood. Do an oil change coolant flush and check the alignment and the breaks. Roof racks can be mounted straight to the roof. You are going to need to drill some holes in that beauty.
