Aren't you supposed to merge onto the highway as fast as the people who are already on it? I dont understand all these people who don't floor it on the onramp. This is what literally causes traffic.
>People on highway have to slow down to let people merge
>Rinse and repeat every ramp
Fucking why?

Nobody taught them how to drive properly from young on.
I was taught to accelerate to the highway flow speed, even if that means pedal to the floor.
Others were not taught to do this, or are afraid, or are too stupid. Probably a combination of the three.
Nonetheless, it's common sense to do this, even without being taught, but many people lack common sense.
On a side note, some on-ramps are really too short, and should have been made a couple hundred yards longer...

I know in some states they stop before getting on the highway then get up to speed with a gap. Drivers training teacher told me this.
Who here rally races?
I am a complete /o/ noub, never really worked on cars, but what would it take to get into the amature stuff?
I want to buy a shitty manual off craigslist and gut it for weight ect ect and skirt dirty bends in the garbage classes.

Nobody here does stage rally as far as I know, but a few of us do rallycross. 90% of the fun at about 5% of the cost. Chances are there's an SCCA chapter in your area that runs it.
If you haven't really done much work with cars yet, it'll give you a great opportunity to learn.
First time posting on this board, I usually stay at home on /k/. I'm looking for a winter vehicle (I live in Iowa) and I'm kinda digging the jeep Cherokee XJ series. Not trying to spend a ton of money since I did that with my main car. How do you guys feel about this guy?

I am selling my Volkswagen TDI back here in a few weeks and I need a new DD. I will be getting around $10k after I pay off my loan to put down on another car. I am mostly looking for a fun, reliable vehicle. I have narrowed it down to the following
>Camaro 2SS
Tons of Power, Enough interior room, shit visibility, questionable reliability
>Honda Civic R (I sat in a hatchback Civic to get an idea of space)
Honda reliability, somewhat cramped, average visibility
>Golf R
Perfect amount of space, good visibility, poor reliability
>Dodge Challenger
Very comfy inside, below average looks, turd heavy, low on HP
Those are ranked in terms of what I like the most from paper, and sitting inside them (I havent test drove any of them besides the Golf R). What does /o/ think?

So you're going from a ecoshitbox to performance car?
>>
>>16121853
I got the TDI to be a car to last me for the next 15 or 20 years because of the fuel mileage and the dependability of the TDI engine (everything else on it was questionable though) now that that idea has been fucked I figure I may as well buy me a fun car.

Its just super simple and peppy.
Thats all

The Initial D Sprinter didn't even have a 4age, And the K20 was Honda's godmachine.
It was just 4 banger that didn't suck at the time and got meme'd. It's outclassed by modern technology though.

So after seeing that my engine had a standing rear main leak I decided to investigate. Surprise! What I thought was a V8 5.2 Litre that took 4.7 litres of oil ended up being a V6 3.9 Litre with a 3.9 Litre oil capacity engine.
> mfw It's been being overfilled for years by previous unaware owner causing a rear main leak.
What the fuck.. What are the possible damages that could have occoured from running a quart more of oil for 50k Kilometers?

Overfilling can cause sloshing, foaming, more prone to sludge, but a workhorse engine like the 3.9 I doubt itll do much to it.

METALLIC HYDROGEN DISCOVERED AND SYNTHESIZED
>Harvard researchers have studied and observed solid hydrogen under pressure at low temperatures. With increasing pressure we observe changes in the sample, going from transparent, to black, to a reflective metal, the latter studied at a pressure of 495 GPa. They have measured the reflectance as a function of wavelength in the visible spectrum finding values as high as 0.90 from the metallic hydrogen. They have fit the reflectance using a Drude free electron model to determine the plasma frequency of 30.1 eV at T= 5.5 K, with a corresponding electron carrier density of 6.7x10^23 particles/cm3 , consistent with theoretical estimates. The properties are those of a metal. Solid metallic hydrogen has been produced in the laboratory.
>* they have made some metallic hydrogen and have it in a cryostat in liquid nitrogen
>* they might leave it under pressure and let it warm to room temperature or they could keep it cold and release the pressure
>* they are planning to test for high temperature superconductivity
>If it stays a metal at room temperature and after releasing pressure and was also a superconductor then it would be the holy grail of physics.

NJ State Inspection:
>Every 4 years for new cars, 2 years for old cars
>Emissions testing only
>Quick and easy, no appointment needed
>Inspection is free at designated stations
PA State Inspection:
>Every year, emissions and safety
>Must be done by a private mechanic
>Pay for testing, retesting if not passed
>Incentive for shops to charge for unnecessary repairs
Why is this allowed? It's a huge time sink to get three cars inspected every year, and each time I need to tell the mechanic why I don't need a $370 "fuel system cleaning".

>>16118452
Walmart, $9 per wheel for lifetime balance/rotation. I travel a lot and it's useful to be able to roll up anywhere and get it checked/fixed for free.
So simple that even their shut tier mechanics can't fuck it up, just make sure the lugs are tight after they are done.

It's a race series where AWD can't compete and 90s crapcans with 900 horsepower through a pair of street tires reign supreme. It's also faster than Formula 3, making it the fastest motorsport on the planet after F1 and maybe IndyCar/Champ Car. Also, it's purely privateers at this point. No manufacturer works teams whatsoever.
