>Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread Thread
> A place to ask questions that aren't really big enough for their own thread
I live up here in PA and I'm wondering how far south I should travel to get a "southern car"? For those unfamiliar with what I mean, here in the north, our cars get absolutely devoured by the salt on the roads. How far south do I need to drive to avoid these salty and rusty machines?

Do people who actually know their shit about cars actually care about Ford Vs. Chevy or is it only a debate reserved for backwoods rednecks?

>>16024444
only chevy lets you act like a fucking dummy who throws concrete blocks in his brand new truck bed

>>16024455
That's another thing, is Aluminum actually as weak as some people make it out? I know they are bullshitting on the Chevy commercials, but is there really a need for a steel bed if you have a good liner under most conditions?

Tobacco?
Vaping?
Marijuana?
Do you allow any of it in your car?

I let people vape, hit a bong like once a month, and have a cigar if/when I'm getting off work at 1600-1730 and the traffic takes twice as long to get home (happens once a week).

What old cars are the best bang for the buck if you want to look rich? Disregard maintenance costs.

This and some Mercedes of the same era. Maintenance costs of a 7 series and pretty much any Mercedes will wreck you though.

ITT: Underrated Engines
GM's 4.3L Vortec, and in particular the LU3, was an underrated engine. There's something about this 90 degree V6. 195 HP and 260 lb-ft. of torque means that it was able to fill its role as a base model half ton van and truck engine just fine. It was basically a 350 with two cylinders chopped off, and with OHV, an iron block and iron heads, it's amazing that the engine was still being offered as the base option on the half ton Silverado up until 2013. The grand irony is that in its later years, the LU3 was scoffed at by truck buyers who would go on to choose a motor that only fires on four cylinders for a majority of the time it's running.
So, /o/gres, what's your favorite underrated engine?

Sure, if you want a rusted out POS, and definitely not by the time you are done swapping out the transmission and the entire suspension, as well as everything like fuel pump, lines, etc.

>>16023993
why would you swap a base 8th gen when the Si exist?

Do any of /o/ into skateboarding?
reason i'm asking is Dracarys is just about complete and i want to griptape the floorboards up to the white line in the pic.
i've never used griptape before and the stuff i have seems rather stiff, i'm not sure how i'm going to get it to curve correctly on the compound curve at the bottom of the legshields.
any advice on this /o/ ?

i've looked at various videos on youtube, but they only cover the subject of getting this stuff onto decks which although curved at each end have no compound convex curves of the size and shape of the legshields.

>>16023451
i have no idea what the fuck your pic is but i've used grip tape to fix a steering wheel before. ms paint the area your talking about.
