I heard that boost gauge is simply a joke.

Probably am buying one but the idea of dying to a pebble or some cunt pulling out in front of me isn't the most attractive one

>>15892602
Insurance is too expensive for me being a 20 year old canuck, also I'm not really sure what the consensus is on good bike brands, I like the idea of a 650 ninja though

All my friends voted I would be the most likely to die on a motorcycle. That's saying.. enough.

>Why are all other countries in the world completely ignorant of the joy of owning a pickup?

Nobody else needs to buy 600 pounds of mayonnaise every single time they go to a store.

>>15892254
Because its not a cultural thing in other countries

90% of people who buy a pickup for work in the US could use one of those Dinky ford transits isntead and not sacrifice utility

But working class men want to feel manly and its easy to justify a $60k truck when "its for work"

Other countries don't have the same "trucks are masculine" mentality

Pickups are popular in the middle east :^)

what's most likely to break in the engine bay when i drift an automatic?

almost every time i get hectic, i'll hear some noise that sounds like a bad cluch for some time afterwards and when i've driven it normally for 3 minutes it reverts back to normal. keeps grinding with my accelerations and slows down to a halt when i brake.

maybe i'm just low on oil somewhere, Dodge tends to have that problem

>>15867974
Power steering, or piston rods

>>15868077
will the engine light let me know if it's the piston rods? the car is a 2007 charger

i'm all for putting the engine on a stand because i'm experiencing massive oil sludging problems but i don't have time to do this for at least one month so i'll either have to keep DDing it or fix up my lancer.

I like vans
I have this romantic idea of going on a huge long trip across the US in a conversion van with a few friends.
I know it will never happen
I know I'm stupid

GET GUD SON

I can almost guarantee it will be an over priced piece of shit with too much technology, like the nsx.

would people really mind that much if they just restarted the production of the previous one

>>15887152
>will the new Supra be a disappointment?
Yes. Just look at what Honda did to the new NSX, they fucked EVERY SINGLE THING up.

Old NSX
Reasonably light sports car with good performance

New NSX
Pig fat hybrid "super" car that is slower than every other hybrid supercar and slower than every similarly priced supercar

Old NSX
Simple, elegant, timeless styling

New NSX
Busy, edgy styling, not impressive

Old NSX
Honda reliability and durability

New NSX
Everything is complicated, will be a nightmare to keep on the road past a decade

Old NSX
A true drivers car from paper to production

New NSX
A 2-ton MUH LAP TIMES supercar that is barely competitive

Old NSX
Took the world by storm

New NSX
People waited for it for so long that when it finally came out even the magazines went "meh"

>>15887453
It wouldn't sell. The styling is dated jellybean bullshit and the engine would not impress anyone.

let's just get this out

Girls don't like you for your car

>>15889806

It doesn't hurt

>>15889814
It doesn't help either.

The girl you'll attract with an expensive car will only laugh at you when she finds out you have no bank account.

Race ramps.

If you are really fancy, get the ones that have the ability to remove the ramp part, leaving your car on just blocks.

for suspension or brake work, you will still need a jack and jack stands.

Just make ramps out of wood. All you need is a drill and some screws.

They're less expensive and safer than those chinese plastic/steel ramps they sell in stores.

>>15886462

I use cheap jackstands but always threw few pieces of wood for security.

Sadly I think I'm about to sell my 2001 Spyder, I bought her third hand for cheaper than I should have and she's been a bitch ever since
It's mainly my fault because I used a fairly shady mechanic to do some work I didn't have the tools for and now it's dead in the water and I don't have to money to repair it and finish the 944

Two seaters with a liquid piston engine at each wheel and a torque vectoring computer powering them, and no downforce and wheels slightly too small for the power transfer so that you can do four wheel powerslides all damn day long.

>powered by a V8 made with a pair of Fireblade engines joined at the crank
Are you that retarded?

>>15882865
Obviously you would be, for jumping on your brakes to send a passive aggressive message.

Just slow down to the speed limit and let them pass. If you're at a red light and theyre up youre butt, toss it in reverse and sit there

>>15882865
in most states, the rear end-er is almost 100% given automatic fault especially in cases where theres only 2 vehicles involved on a straight away.

>>15882865
maintain speed and when I can move over, change lanes as slowly as possible because fuck them
