Mitsubishi is currently on plans to make a luxury SUV and possibly a new Luxury brand.
This is the SUV concept(called the "GT PHEV") they came up with and they said they will be taking the design cues from this onto their next luxury SUV.
It is said to use an all new plug-in hybrid engine.
How do you like this plan of Mitsubishi?

Ask a detailed who works at a Ford dealership anything.
How come car salesmen never give you want you want? You say are you looking for A and all they ever show you or talk about is B? Just went into a Dodge dealer wanting a new Cummins pick up. He kept showing me these ugly faggot gas guzzler 1500s talking about it's technology and shit. Stupid nigger I got a 32' boat and farm I work on.

How many people a day come in a day to have their automatic transmission serviced?
>>15921777
Ever been to a jiffy lube? I'm thinking about trying one later, mostly to watch and lul as they figure out my shitbox.

So I was thinking earlier about doing a hybrid conversion to my 4WD, as a bit of a project.
Then I thought to myself, why not disconnect the engine from the drivetrain entirely, and have it run only to charge the batteries, allowing me to run just electric engines to the wheels.
This made me think of the old Porsche hybrid electric tanks, and now I'm wondering if it's possible to add tracks to a car without totally ruining the bodywork?
>>15921726
google mattracks
and yes, its possible
>>15921726
Connect the engine to a pump that pressurizes a hydraulic system. Put a variable geometry impeller in each wheel hub, that can control how much power goes to each wheel individually, and can perform regenerative braking by repressurizing the system on overrun. This has the advantage of being capable of full lockup, so you don't need friction brakes like with an electric hybrid. You also won't need a parking brake. The engine can be set to operate in three states: idle, max efficiency, and max power, and no electric starter is required.
>>15921746
That looks pretty cool, I was thinking more along the lines of one track per side, then painting it with Jap tank camo.
>>15921754
Would the hydraulic system be more efficient than an electric setup, though?
And the reason I was looking into hybrid electric in the first place was so that I could add more power to the car, since the 4D56T isn't really an engine with a lot of grunt - it doesn't sound like a hydraulic system could add any more power.
>that permanent fear that one faggot from the right lane might pull out without looking in the mirror
FUCK
That's what flashing is for
Never had that problem. Besides, 245 isn't that fast.
But then, I'm on the Autobahn so much, it's easy to predict who pulls out and who doesn't.
I'm regularly in the speed limiter for long stretches.
Just mash the horn any time you're near another car
Thinking about getting a gen 1 viper, 15k miles, $30k... make sure it's mechanically sound then daily drive it... Yes or No?
>>15921208
no, the gen 1 viper is shit.
get a gen 2 or gts 1996-8/9?
>>15921244
What's so much better about gen 2
>daily driving a 1st gen Viper
is this even remotely safe?
>>15921123
I don't see why not
My post is an artform as much as that car. Safety is an artform so I see why not?
It depends. Individual safety is meaningless where the result is injury, not death. A corpse on the highway costs the government money and man hours, a breathing body that gets checked into a hospital accrues its own debts. Safety to others, however, is paramount.
So, reinforced oil pan?

The offchance you need to plow through a murder of niggers.
because they have more money and time to waste in traffic than you and they want you to know it
people are lovely, aren't they?
I found a cheap 2002 Mustang GT for only $800, but the ad says it has engine problems. What could be the real problem with it?
http://stockton.craigslist.org/cto/5803574451.html
i have driven one of those
man they run like shit
its the wimpiest v8 ever. it just felt like total shit
but a good deal is a good deal if the engine donesn't have any real mechanical faults.
many people take their cars to stupid mechanics who just want to slap them with a pricey repair bill. so there is a viable chance the engine is not damaged. but you really have to be the judge of this. ask the stupid nigger what the engine sounds like or why he thinks its broken
>autotragic
>timing is off
>vales is fukt
>kept by a tardo who is likely still using the oil it came with when he bought it
Just walk away
Buying a 4.6 Sohc.. ever
Total fail. No power and useless engine when it comes to making any good power while maintaining driveabilty and longevity. Even with pi heads and a lot of engine work, it is nearly impossible to get them past 450hp
Is it cringe to attach a plate from another country to the front of your bumper?
I.e. I live in a state that requires only a rear bumper. My family is all German and I go to Germany once a year. It's probably my favorite country so I want to add a German plate that I got from a junkyard there to the front of my Subaru WRX just for fun.
I see a bunch of people with Japanese front plates on but it's usually on Japanese cars.
Is it cringe to do this? Is it alright for German made cars but not Japanese? I really don't want to look like a fuckboy.
Thanks.
I think it's pretty cringy yes
>>15920454
Yeah. Usually if you have to ask if something is cringe, it probably is.
I liked the German language enough to go learn it for no real reason and even I'd be embarrassed to do something like that. The Japanese ones are worse, admittedly.
What youtube channels do you guys like?
I'm a total noob to cars. Don't know a goddamn thing. I'm not quite as idiot to not know what's wrong with the alternator-as-a-turbo tattoo, but I'm not great at all. I like doing stuff and having something car related playing, like Jay Leno's garage or Top Gear episodes...
Anyone have recommendations? Trying to watch Engine Masters is cool but I don't really know whaty they're on about half the time.
>mfw those numbers when they're talking about cams

Don't it's a meme list
The ZZW30 is lighter than the AE86 stock and it's 1ZZ engine cranks out about the same horses as a blacktop 4age, give or take a few digits, newer than an aging '86. Another problem is the contents of it precats had a tendency to crumble and get sucked back into the engine if not removed and it's 1ZZ burned oil but a 2ZZ is a direct drop in.
The 86 is 30 years old and shit will break down down the line but it's easy to work on but it's the rust that will lead to its ultimate doom, I could get a welder and patch up some rust though.
I put in alot of time and money into this car and I might regret it if I sell it.
Street cred, memes and all that bullshit aside, convince me why I shouldn't trade an 86 for an MRS?
All very valid points

Hey guys i'm looking for a car thats going to be comfty; basically i want a refined ride for the highway since thats what i drive. i've been looking at the ls400 but i feel like its a bit dated, i've been looking at bmw 525/528 around 2007 or so. what car will give me the maximum comftyiness? i've been leaning towards a bmw, but im open to Mercedes and other brands. Any help goys? i live in cali if that makes a difference. gas mileage not an issue, just looking for a decent dd
look at W211 facelift Mercedes E class or BMW E60 5 series BMW
i've owned them both, pretty comfy
Lexus, BMW, Mercedes mainly.
Whatever you do though, no Audi. Never Audi. They're the most unreliable pieces of shit on the planet, as well as jewing you out of fucktons of money for literal VW parts.
>>15919861
W211 facelift is the correct answer. A 2008 E350 is gonna be about 8-10 k.
I have a diesel which is a bit more. 2009. Super comfy and unbeatable for road trips
