The next Presidential Limo "The Beast 2.0" was spotted testing in the recent days.
>The front fascia is from a Cadillac Escalade while the whole body is likely a test-mule for the new wholly designed body.
>The rear lights in this test-mule are most likely from the present Cadillac CTS.
>It might use the same or a different platform. Likely the same commericial-truck platform this time too.

" In the midst of this contentious election season, there’s one thing that all Americans can agree on: Our next president deserves a new limo. OK, maybe not. But he or she will be getting one, and it’s currently undergoing testing, during which these spy pictures were shot.
Like the current presidential limo, the new one is being supplied by General Motors and rides on a heavy-duty truck platform—not too surprising, given that it’s bulletproof, bombproof, and possessing other security features the Secret Service doesn’t want to talk about. Today’s limo, nicknamed The Beast, attempts to disguise its truck underpinnings with a design that borrows from the now discontinued Cadillac DTS sedan, but the Beast 2.0 ups the style quotient with a front-end treatment taken from the latest Escalade, even if it still shows a vestigial trunk. "

" The current presidential limo was new for 2009, and it carried President Obama to his first inauguration. It’s not known whether the new version will arrive in time for the swearing in of POTUS 45, or whether the newly elected leader of the free world will have to suffer the indignity of a hand-me-down company car while he or she awaits delivery of the brand-new Beast.

710 actually
This probably isn't the best place to ask this, but I've already been on forums and the only answer I got was "lol I dunno did u check the fuel pressure?"
My car:
95 z28 with LT1 & 6-speed manual
My problem:
The car starts and idles fine, and will rev just fine if I steadily press the throttle, but if I quickly press it, it acts as if I shut off the ignition until I let off the gas and it catches itself and resumes idling.
Fuel pressure is fine, TPS seems fine, MAF seems fine, MAP seems fine.
The only thing I can find wrong is while datalogging, when I quickly hit the peddle, spark advance advances as it should to around 40° but quickly drops in a fraction of a second to 10°. I'm stumped as to why it's doing this.

Why is the IAC open at that rpm?
Why does the bureau of land managment have a cell in your engine?
>>15612765
BLM has cells everywhere including our government's highest office.

I think you mean Black Lives Matter. He must be a sleeper agent for them.
Hello/o/
I'm moving to western MA this fall. Right now I drive a 2013 Elantra GT...which cannot drive in snow for shit. I'd like to scale back to something simpler, looking mostly at trucks but I'm open to options.
I figure I can budget a 20k price range. Are Subarus really good or worth it? What I'm mostly looking at now are just basic plain Jane trucks with a manual transition, 2 doors, 4wd. Etc. I like the highlanders, but they might be a little wussy.

10/10 b8, lets see how this gamble plays out.
Trucks are bad on the snow because they have no weight on the back. Unless you plan to at least have 500 pounds of rocks or something in the bed for winter. I don't feel like Subarus are worth it but the awd is a retard saver, but everything else is boring and anemic. Remember awd doesn't help with stopping at all.
I've always hated cars. I hate driving. I hate sitting in the freeway. I hate having to put my life in the hands of a bunch of fucktards who are half asleep on their way to work. I hate the aesthetic of cars. I hate motors. I hate the sound of cars. I hate idiots who leave their engine running when they go to pick up their weed from the dealer across the street. I hate sitting in cars. new car smell makes me vomit. I hate people who are really into cars and can talk a lot about them. my friend had a fucking obsession with remote control cars and will watch YouTube video after YouTube video about fucking remote control cars and I'll just leave without saying anything. anyone who tells me they like top gear I know they're a stupid faggot. cars fucking ruined our planet with dangerous emissions. fuck paying taxes that are used to subsidize failing us car manufacturers. I can't wait for the year 3000 when we can just move around in tubes.
oh yea and I hate paying for gas

Okay
Red pill/tell me unknown quirks/what do I need to know before buying one of these. Looking at post-facelift cars around $7,000.
i am NOT a fan of the rear suspension design.
imo the seats are really nice. better than c5 seats.
and i dislike the lt1. it can make good power but it very trucklike. not really a rev happy engine like the ls1. not a sporty feeling
>>15612537
How about the L89 or LT4?
>>15612597
lt4 is a good motor but uncommon.
l89 is a big block.
427 435hp

Stupid car things black people do?
I know this black guy who got a cadillac lowrider project car for his son...
He puts money towards the lowrider cadillac when his son gets good grades, and if his son gets bad grades nothing gets done to the cadillac.
He says it's a present for his son but only if he graduates from school and goes to college.
MFW niggers are so shit at life they use crappy nig'd out cadillacs for motivation.
nice story nig

Hey, /o/, i need some advice. I was looking for a cheap mercedes and found this, should i buy it?
http://www.louisvillemotors1.com/2008-MercedesBenz-CLSClass/Used-Car/Louisville-KY/7298568/Details.aspx
Most of the other AMGs i find under $10k are like 20 years old. This one looks like it's already lowered which is something i would do anyways, so that's a bonus.
>>15612175
>Mileage: 395,839
Do it OP, Mercs from those years are especially reliable, and thanks to german engineering they are cheap to fix, to.
It's seems to be well cared for, too. The previous owner even spent extra moneey to lower it, after all
And the mileage isn't too high either.
Solid choice desu.
>>15612195
>tfw your rear wheels are turning right , but you wanna go left
I think you should buy this, OP.
>buying expensive wheels
>literally hit one kerb and they are worthless
nice meme
>literally lern2park
>>15612159
Doesn't matter when some beaner forces you into a curb because they're fucking retarded.
>>15612165
Then find another parking spot? Gee op you fucking suck.
Was driving with some expensive wheels for 2 years+ and never curbed then once, even driving over a narrow as fuck 2 lane bridge to get to work every day
Recently acquired a cheap old Nissan drift car as my first car
the problem is that it's straight piped, which isn't legal in my state
the car came with the OEM cat
so my choice now are either to pay a local mechanic 120$ to switch it out for me
or DIY it and maybe kill myself
because the pinch welds are messed up (make sense as it's a track car)
and also the subframe connectors over the pipe
so what would /o/ do in this situation?
>>15612057
>buying an ex-drift car project
>ever
You're a retard
it was my cousins, he gave me a really good deal, I didn't really had a choice
>>15612057
>buying an ex drift car
Unless you plan in taking an old, worn out champion and restore it to its former glory and position, you're retarded.
De-mod it, a factory 240 is rarer and more impressive than any drift tune.
