I have a 1988 Mazda B2200. My friend whom lives less than 2 miles away has the same exact truck, except his is a standard shift. He pays $120 a month with Gieco, while I pay $215 a month with USAA. Why in the fuck is mine so much higher than his? Is there any way I can make my shit come anywhere close to his? Switching to Gieco isn't an option either.

You have full coverage with a $500 deductible.

US owners of imported vehicles, what's your method of converting kmph to mph on the fly?

I've been driving an imported car over here for a month or so, and I'm really bad about remembering where they line up. I also drive late at night a lot, and it's pretty crucial I don't speed at all. The police around here are pretty strict.

There's a speedometer app I was using for a while, but I have a new headunit that I keep my phone plugged into. I would really like a small digital speedometer to put in a panel where my sunroof controls would be.

tl;dr: driving imported car in US, want small digital speedometer.

I want something relatively small though, a GPS is going to generally be pretty bulky.

I just do it in my head.
Basically 50kmph 30mph... 60mph 100kmh. Other than that I use Navigon app on my phone, works as a navi as well and shows you speed as well. If you want to be proper about it just change the dash dials to the mph one, most cars do have mph, even for uk market etc.

How much does driver skill effect published laptimes? Do some automakers and publicatons have significantly faster drivers than others? Should lap times only matter when they are set by the same driver?

Look at the qualifying results from one-make racing series. There's a huge difference in lap times.

They lost sight of what made the C5 Z06 such a huge hit, and instead, chased horsepower numbers.

What do we think of this?

Is 450 HP and 500 LB FT of torque too little?

It's a pumped up F150 for off-roading and doing truck-y stuff, but most will be driven on tarmac to and from work and running errands with the family all their lives. It's enough power.

Do I even need to say more? This is actually mind blowing, how such a car with all of its fancy technology and heritage, is only the 23rd fastest car on laguna seca.

What exactly stops me from using one of these to haul 18wheeler loads? Like, if I had a custom made differential and transmission to do it, would it work? Or is there a law saying I can't haul an 18wheeler trailer without a class A license and tractor trailer.

Alright /o/ I'm counting on you with this one. I'm heading out tomorrow to look at a 1984 LTD LX (the 5.0 H.O. v8 sleeper). Car sounds great in theory, but I've never seen it. Old dude says he's owned it over 25 years and it's go 97k original miles. Giving away for a steal because he has too many cars (wtf...). What do I look out for? What are signs that I'm getting in over my head or it's just going to be a money-pit? If I think it's even half decent I'll probably buy it anyways just because he's asking rock-bottom price for it, but gimme some tips.

Pic is stock photo from google, don't even know what color the one I'm going to see is...

Very much. Suspensions were a bit soft on virtually all vehicles because they wanted to show off their fancy new engine, but the detailed simulation makes it infinitely more fun than the dull on-rails shit that's in GTA V where every car feels sorta the same.

I guess we can start by posting our Ferds, so here is my 2016 FiST. While were at it, say 3 things you like about your car, and 3 things you dislike.

>Recaros are comfy af and hold you in well
>corners like it's on rails, and rotates in ways FWD cars shouldn't
>never have to take key out of my pocket, and it's small enough that I won't notice it

>SYNC is bad at auto-adjusting brightness
>warning chimes can't seem to be shut up permanently
>1-to-2 gear shift just feels slightly wrong, maybe an RMM would fix this?

Happy with it so far, can't wait to Mountune it
