Why

>>15889751
I like the design.

>>15889709
Jews gonna shut em down, unless this is the big corporate Jew copycat app of Uber. Jews always ruin everything. Soon it's gonna be licenses and special insurances and next thing you know you're just a cab driver dispatched by your cell phone. They just can't let people make money without forcing it into being barely profitable

>>15889748

Do you even no what fucking waze is.

Waze is a GPS that you can report police, hazards, road closers ect in real time.

>>15889709

Its god sent.

I was driving from another state today, Waze told me it was rerouting, Next thing i know it takes me off highway and i look up and the whole highway is shut down for the next few exits. Me I just went around as if it was nothing.

Thanks waze

>>15889748
Waze isn't ride sharing you retarded fucking meatball.

Epitome

>>15889811
Women can feel free to strip in a 2015 Impreza because the guy driving it is obviously gay.

It's Subaru, unfortunately. I just built a '12 STi. Did everything the "correct" way after doing research. Spent too much money, that at this point I don't feel to great about. I just got tuned after some minor complications on the dyno, and now two days later, the cars randomly acting up and dropping a bit of oil pressure.

Fuck these cars, as much as I love them.

The boot on (what appears to be) the outer tie rod is torn. While it may not currently have play, this will allow water/dirt to reach the joint.

Expect future replacement.

>>15889631
looks like your tie rod is fucked

>>15889639

This. You can slow the process by loading up the torn boot with fresh grease, and if you're in a real pinch, I've heard of people having luck wrapping saran-wrap around the grease-reloaded joint. However yes longer term, just budget to have it replaced. I recommend OE-spec Lemfoerder as the replacement brand. No need to gamble on shitty generics when it's a critical component like this.

>>15889614
Because its easier to make the body in one style instead of two catering to manual and auto.

So they have to fill that hold in the drive tunnel with something.

Also levers are more visceral meaning you can feel where the shift is going or doing, where as buttons and nobs are less so.

Column shifts are best.

Automatic trucks (big trucks, not pickups) normally have a push button selector. Certain straight trucks use a column shift.

I hate this shit. I was looking into a 530i but if you want to swap it to manaual you have to cut a big hole in the trim for it. Much nicer if you can just get a boot and have the stick poking out where the auto shifter used to. Bonus points for having PNRD lights on shifter as opposed to the dash where they look shit after a swap.

>>15889613
Won't make much of a difference

>>15889613
Why do you need an obd scanner to change tires? WTF are you even on about?

>>15889613
>I need to reflash my ecu to suit the new tire size

You seriously can't be this retarded. The OBD scanner only checks for engine errors

>>15889540
Winter tires......

Wide tires tend to float on top of snow rather than dig in and grip the pavement. So put some normal profile snow tires or all seasons on.

Oversized tires also kill your gas mileage and make the vehicle handle poorly so just leave those regular tires on all year.

Been trying to post this for an hour now, fuck off 4chan

RWD only?
What tires are these exactly?

Now, your average Mud-Terrain tires will suck at absolutely anything winter-related except deep snow, although they might even suck at that depending on how well they clean themselves

RWD trucks with nothing in the bed are utter shite in the winter, even with premium winter tires, and the bigger the tires get the shittier they'll handle on ice and in light snow, as you're sharing the little weight you already have on a big surface.

Here are some things you can do to have it handle better

Tires
>get proper winter tires, preferrably thinner ones
>sipe & stud your tires (studding will make them useless and terrible outside of winter, siping will make them feel a bit soft and also wear out a tad quicker)

Weight
>put some hundred pounds of something heavy in the bed

Want a track queen? Get the SS

Want something other people actually resepect? Get the BMW

>>15889558
I concur with This anon OP

>>15889520
Disagreed. The Camaro SS, although pigfat and not as nimble as the m240i, poses greater options for future fun than the BMW.

Unless you're a busy adult with no time/budget to work on your car and/or have work done to the car, the SS is the right choice. The community and mod possibilities are endless. It's got a roaring 6.2L that only sounds better the more you de-restrict the exhaust.

But don't take my word for it; test drive them both if you're serious.

get a used dirt bike

>>15889450
Go take a riding course at a local tech school. One night and 2 full days and you'll be safer, learn how to ride, and get your license.

>>15889473
This is actually what my plan was, there are bike learning courses everywhere

figured i might as well spend 300 to learn in a few days at least the basics and how to ride

>>15889437
They have. Look up Chrysler fluid drive.

You still need a clutch to shift gears. It was kind of shit

what's the point? we're all gonna die anyway. might as well get a cvt with paddle shifters, triptronic, or a GTR

>>15889437
>hard to learn clutch

Son...
