It gets pretty fucking bad man. I would never park my car outside during the winter. I don't think most people realize how much it fucks up your car. I am not even talking about the exterior. Oil viscosity changes with temperature and becomes less effective the colder it is. This is why you can't roll a motorcycle in first gear even with the clutch pulled in when it's super cold. The oil is just too viscous and the clutch plates stick. You can mitigate it a little bit by using synthetic oil but you are shit out of luck if you use regular petroleum oil. I don't know how serious of an issue this actually is but rest assured there is a period of time until your car is fully warmed that the engine is not lubricated to its full potential.
This is also excluding the million other issues like the cold fucking up all rubber (tires, hoses, etc...) and so on.
It isn't good for the longevity of the car.

So I do car work in my garage under jack stands like I should, but there was an incident recently where my rear windshield exploded unexpectedly a day after I had the car up on jack stands. I came to the conclusion that the course height adjustment of ordinary jack stands and the drainage slope built into the garage floor put the unibody of the car under an excessive torsion moment that transmitted to the windshield. Why the windshield blew up after the work was done is anybody's guess.
Has anyone else seen this happen? What else could have caused the glass to shatter? I'm looking for jack stands that use a threaded rod instead of a toothed mechanism for fine adjustability but they seem uncommon for some reason.

Just put your car on scissor jacks. Put jack stands underneath once it's up and lower them till the car sits on them. Leave the jacks under for maximum support.
>>
>>16056839
Never seen or heard of such a thing. Now I have heard of T-Tops breaking or popping out if left in the roof when lifted, but not a windshield. Cars built nowadays have much stiffer frames than the older cars, especially the convertibles.
>>
>>16056839
you probably had the stands in shitty areas.
ive never seen threaded jack stands in my life.
>a simple turbo setup wouldn't add more than 125lbs and would easily increase power by 200bhp, if not more
Considering the fact that the Viper ACR lap times are competitive with the current 'Hypercar Trio' despite the Viper having a huge power deficit, it would shit all over everything if it had turbocharging.
Why doesn't Snek have forced induction?

ACR is competitive because it can effectively use the power it has.
So, /o/, I was out looking at used cars not long ago, and I saw a manual v8 1995 BMW going for 2000$ with 130,000, and the temptation to buy it struck. Are old BMW's decent and is this a price that's too good to be true?

I know little about cars, and what I've seen of the car is externally with no markings other than a dealer plate. It's not exactly like the picture, body-wise, so I don't think so.

Any luxury sedan owners here? It doesn't have to be new or in great shape to love a luxury sedan.
What luxury sedan do you drive?
Do you often give other people rides?

I don't know if this is the place to post but I have a luxury sports car and the drivers seat leather has a tear and the bumper has a crack that scratches against the parking stopper if I get too close (so I try not to) but what can I use to stick back both pieces?

Take it to a reputable shop and literally pay to have someone make it look good. You will fuck it up.

Saving for an Ls400
Considered stuff like Park Avenue Ultras or Olds Auroras but Ls400 is in it's own universe for amount of car/money
Alright so Skyline GT-R 85k miles

I'm looking for a comfy highway/city commuter and i personally like the look of the volvo. there's one nearby with 75,000 miles for $10,000USD. Its the 6speed base model though, but their wasn't much upgraded on the 2008 year so i'm okay with it. its in perfect condition with a fat stack of dealer maintenance which is why i want to look at it, i've read its ride quality is a bit stiff which i don't mind and the turning radius is horrible, which isn't something that effects me. anyone have first-hand experience with this car? i think i remember someone here owning one? halp plz. if i can get it for $8000 i think its a good car, but $10,000 seems steep

I own one, OP
What model are you looking at?
the 2.0 ford duratec 4 banger engine one?
The 2.4 Volvo 5cyl engine
Or the 2.5T Volvo 5cyl engine one? (The one I own and can give more information about)
>Ride quality is a bit stiff
Stiff? far from it, from the P1 platform based hatches that Volvo, Ford and mazda made cars out of it, this is the least sporty and more comfortable of all of them, its not soft like a boomer mobile, but expect it to be more focused on being comfy than being anything else, same goes for the seats, they are really comfy, and the back seats are way more comfy than anything I have ever got into so far
>Horrible turning radius
it aint THAT bad, I owned a Smart fortwo before this, and that tiny car has the tightest turning radius of all cars I have driven, and yet the C30's one didnt bother me that much, it does make the car feel larger than it is when parking, but thats about it
Cant comment on price, my country has huge inflated car prices for some stupid reason, what I paid for mine is considered decent where I live, but to Americans, its probably a lot more than ny one would pay for a C30
Any other questions?
>>
>>16057015
I'm looking at the 5 cylinder turbo 6speed. How is the ride quality on the highway? I do a mix of driving but mostly highway. I've heard about the breather hose on the engine being an issue, is that an issue? I've also heard about some kind of slave cylinder in the tranny failing causing to completly fix the transmission, any truth to that? Is their any obvious signs of neglect or abuse i should look for?

Is this Dexcool? Because half of the internet says yes, and the other half says fuck off. I hear you can't mix different coolants because they become some sort of gelblob, and I'd like to not fuck up my vehicle. Would adding (distilled?) water be an acceptable compromise until I am able to stop at the Ford dealer?

Yeah, I kinda thought brand wouldn't matter, but then I used Google and it turns out there are a lot of people fearmongering on Ford/car forums in general. It's weird. I wonder if they're Ford employees or something.
