>"omg anon why didn't you turn your head to check your blind spot!!"
It's 2016, why isn't blind spot elimination through proper mirror adjustment taught in driver's ed? Why is this nugget of information reserved for defensive driving classes after you get into an accident?
Don't people realize turning your head isn't a free action and comes with an associated risk?
>>15887910
There's still a sizeable blindspot in most vehicles with the mirrors adjusted right
>>15887910
Hand in your license, anon.
>>15887917
I don't drive "most vehicles". I drive my car.
Wich one would you buy:
1. Renault clio 3 from 2007 : 1.2 liter petrol
2. same with 1.5 diesel
or
3. VW Golf 5 from 2005: 1.4 liter petrol
Pro and Contra arguments please.
Thank you.
If these were my only choices, I'd commit suicide. I recommend you do the same.
>yurop
I'd move to a non-cucked country.
>>15887858
1.5 dci motors are very fuel efficient.
1.2 petrol on clio is death sentence.
Golf is best option but it's a 11 year old VAG car.
Can you get newer fiesta with tdci ?
Why are minorities such as Asians, Blacks and Mexicans attracted to modified cars so much?
It seems that minorities just tend to like cars a lot for some reason.

I don't know, faggot, it's just part of their culture
why do rich white dudes like to play golf
>>15887884
Im not a rich white dude so I can't answer.

anyone else get this feeling? I've looking at small jap cars now to purchase, Civic,Mazda something fuel efficient after I lost my "bug"
I always wanted a mustang or camaro as a kid. Got an 80s FR shitbox that handles well as first car. Test drive pony car and it just feels fucking heavy as hell. Yeah going fast in a straight line is fun I guess, but otherwise the car feels pretty normal.
I know the feel op. I test drove the FiST/FoST and fell in love though.

Too bad, they're all Modern Cars™
It doesn't help that you had a boner for a piece of shit.
Go drive an FR-S/BRZ/MX5, rev it out to redline with your foot on the floor and take some corners faster than you think you should.

Pls don't
So my brother picked up a 2008 Honda Accord in 2013 from the dealer, apparently they had some sort of de-odorization before they sold it because days later it smelled like smoke (apparently because the prior owner was the type of moron who chain smoked in the car with the vehicles down and enjoyed smelling like an ash tray). We've used pretty much every type of scented shit (including black ice, yes we fell for that one) and it just puts some cover on the smell, the moment it dissipates/disappears the smoke smell returns with a vengeance.
Are there any effective odor neutralization/elimination solutions, or is he just fucked?

try one of these yet?
It's a pain in the ass but what I have done is load up on those slide in a/c air fresheners and get a spray can of febreeze or something. it's a temporary fix but you can overpower the smoke stink with chemical. I noticed it's worst when parked in direct sunlight.
if you can remove seats and shit do it. give the car a thorough cleaning. Ammonyc detailer guy on youtube makes a good video. he uses a steam cleaner on the headliner, floor and some chemical he makes then uses some machine that looks like noo-noo from teletubbies
I'm going to use an apholstery cleaner and my steamer for shirts, and a fuck load of ozmium to try and get some similar results
Try and borrow an ozone generator. Put that in, switch it and the aircon on, leave it in for a few hours. Afterwards, ventilate the car really well (will smell of ozone for a while afterwards). That should get rid of the smoke smell

What went wrong?

What did Honda mean by this?

How viable is it to buy a shell and build a car from it? How costly would it be than just buying a salvage car, stripping it down and building on that?
It's definitely viable to build from a shell; they repop all the parts. It's much, much more expensive than just buying a relatively complete car. Those shells are mostly used for custom builds big expenses.

You'll never do either do why ask?

Would I register it as a regular car or is there a catch I should worry about?

k
/o/ last week I took my car to the mechanic to put in a new clutch in it
The mechanic ended up changing the clutch and flywheel pressure plate and basically everything and took forever and charged me a small fortune
Anyway, i got the car just yesterday and today as I woke up and went outside i saw there was a puddle of oil underneath my car.
The oil looks brownish like engine oil and not red
This car does not have a transmission oil dipstick but I am not missing any engine oil
Assuming this is tranny oil on the floor, will I damage it by driving the car until monday? the mechanic does not work on sundays.
this picture is going to distract people from your question
>>15887396
Assuming it is Trans fluid, you can severely damage the trans if you drive it.
Smell the fluid. Does it smell like engine oil? Or trans fluid? They both have very different scents.
ATF is red, MTF isn't
>be toyota
>have a good series like Celica that was cut in the mid 2000s
>people want a sporty affordable car like Celica used to be
>perfect opportunity to come back with the Celica series
>design a car
>it's meh
>call it gt86 because "we want the dagumifag audience"
FUCKING WHY
All they had to do was:
>call it Celica because it fucking looks like one
>Toyota makes FWD variant with current engine
>Subaru makes a 4WD variant with a turbo engine like GT Four used to be BECAUSE ITS FUCKING SUBARU AND THEY MAKE AWD CARS
>Scion is the RWD variant with a bigger, say 2.3l engine
This is needlessly complex. Toyota needs to do one thing:
>Options for more power
>>15887341
All we need is
>Subaru BRZ STI
>New Celica
>New Supra
>Lexus Sedan with the LFA Engine that will BTFO the lazy Germans
>>15887362
>needlessly complex
They literally did that for years with Celica.
My friends ridicule me all the time for driving auto
But i cant help it since i messed up my left ankle during a football game sophmore year
I can walk and run like i used to but sometimes I get a bit of pain when doing so
What should i do
I like the luxury of not worrying about shifting gears but i would like to drive a manual again
Also can some one recommend me a dash kit since the stock one for the 5th gen camaros suck (like a new radio bezel lol)
>>15887315
>clutch use causes actual pain
>gets made fun of for not driving one
You need new friends, you faggot.
>>15887315
Fuck your "friends". Don't sacrifice well being for approval
>>15887315
You are one of the few cases of an auto being perfectly acceptable. Your "friends" are scum if they ridicule you for having an actual injury.
Your question seems more like something a medical professional would be able to help with.
Can someone explain this retarded shit to me?
I don't see how you can brag about your car scraping when there are people on it to make it scrape.
If your car doesn't scrape very much just lower it more to get more scrape... Don't get your mates to sit on the bonnet and shit..
That's just retarded.

>Can someone explain this retarded shit to me?
Not even the people doing it can.
>>15887190
This, you can't get a straight answer from anyone because they're unwilling to give one due to the answer conflicting with other beliefs they have.
Also it's probably because if they did actually have a think about what they're doing they'd realize how fucking stupid it is.
Denial is a superpower my friend.
>>15887178
But your car wouldn't drag with an elephant on it, so it's an accomplishment even if it's not a pure no juice perfectly pitched game.
Now can you explain why you're so buttburnt about people liking what you don't like?
i'm a delivery guy. i deliver inside ohare airport every day.
that's an f250. i dunno what i'd do with it but i want one of these things.
just sayin'
HD truck single cab short bed conversions are a thing, and they look stupid and cute at the same time.

>mfw this asshole is working my dream job
My autism has cursed me with a particular obsession for airports. I always thought it would be cool to have a job on the ground floor like that.
Anything that I want to buy, I'm quickly shut down by morons stating it's a "meme car", what the fuck does that even mean. Fuck you!
Lmfao lurk more, newfag
>>15886683
Let me guess, you wanted to buy an AE86?
