I have to leave work and go home soon /o/. Watdo? Its fine until I shift into Drive.
Bad IAC, maf, egr valve, Pcv valve, what else can it be? I know it's not a fuel issue, and it doesn't feel like a torque converter issue either. Can idle all day in park, just higher than usual when cold.

Am I the only one who feels that "racing" a car in reality is far easier than doing it in a game with a PC wheel and pedals?

Makes perfect sense
Racing games can simulate the physics all they want, but they can't simulate the feel. Feel is part of driving a car.
It's similar with flying. I find it much easier to fly a real plane than a digital plane.

Yes but VR and motion platforms can help

They're rare and expensive, also from a now dead brand. You can likely find something comparable for cheaper.

yeah that was a lesson learned on my part.
Another thing I learned years back was acting like you have to get rid of it
>want more than it's worth so the inevitable haggling gets to where I want it
>"I just really need to get rid of it, can't take it with me back home"
(that part is true)

What makes a car fun is the person driving it.
The only boring cars I've driven were automatics that weren't mine.
Low power is fun, high power is fun.
Low grip is fun, high grip is fun.
Low quality is fun, high quality is fun.
Bad handling is fun, good handling is fun,
You make your own fun faggot.

Does anyone else hate straight line races? I guess it's interesting to see on the drag strip when it involves highly tuned speed machines, but when it's on the street, You can always pretty much guess the outcome of the race before it starts. It's all about who's got the fattest sticky tires, who's running the most boost, who has the best P/W ratio, etc. Essentially, straight line races are a battle between machines, not humans. And more than not, the person who has the most money is the winner. Yes there is some skill involved in changing gears and keeping the wheel straight, I guess. But I just don't find them exciting at all.
Straight racing is basically Pay2win. I do have respect for the engineering aspect , but sucks as as a motorsport.
TLDR: if you don't race on the track or in the canyons/twisty back roads, you aren't skilled at anything, and basically you're a fucking faggot

Yesterday, after parking it from a short drive, I noticed the radiator fan still running, and a hot coolant smell. Popped the hood and the coolant reservoir was bubbling, a little bit of steam coming off the rad. cap. The reservoir low in water/coolant. Drips on the ground directly underneath, but nowhere else under the car.
This morning, I check it again, cold. Reservoir a little lower. I fill it up with distilled water to the MAX line. I decided at 80k miles, a good time to change spark plugs & wires. Cheap and super easy to get to, took no time at all. With the water filled up and new spark plugs, I let it idle with AC on, with my infrared thermometer, I tried to see if I could measure a temperature differential between the inlet of the radiator and the exit. I was getting 86.3 - 86.7 degrees throughout the radiator, couldn't accurately measure the inlet/outlet pipes.
Drove around neighborhood, and parked, the reservoir rose up from the max line, to where it's at in this picture.

The top tube going in the tank was HOT, boiling water trickling in, and steam coming from cap. After shutting the engine off, a few minutes later the water level when back below the Minimum fill line. Where it was this morning.
>Has gotten warm about 6 months ago
>Water pump and cap changed about 6 months ago
No problems until yesterday

None, they are all too damn big. Seriously new 150/1500s are the same size as older 250/2500s.
Hell the new Tacomas and Colorados are the same size as 2000-2010s 150/1500s.

I'm a GM whore, but Ram makes my favorite new full size truck. That rear coil spring suspension makes it so fucking comfy, and then there's the V6 diesel option.

I like the Miata, but I'm worried about getting completely obliterated in a car crash.
Do you think a BRZ would fair much better? I also prefer the hard top and less body roll.

Most modern cars are about as safe as they've ever been (Volvos not withstanding) but at around the 100-120km/h mark you're nearly guaranteed to get fucked up regardless of what it is.
>>
I don't think unsafe vehicles exist anymore, anon. They aren't allowed to be sold in North America.
>>
Both vehicles will be perfectly safe but the 86 will be easier to live with. You could also wait for the miata PRHT if you want.

I'm 21 years old and have been licensed for under a year. I'm going to stretch the truth on my
new insurance policy and say that I have been licensed since I was 16 years old. This is to
avoid paying $300/month (with a clean record and a $2k collusion deductible, no joke). What's
the worst that can happen, /o/? If I crash, and they notice that I lied about my license history,
will they not cover me?

I know they could do that, but do they really? I know you can get a good student discount and they don't even check your grades until after a year. They told me this.
