You fixed something that wasn't the problem, that's all. Oil in the spark plugs, you say?

The things I love about Alphonse and my shitposting is that it never get any replies, like you can tell GM fangirl and the rest of the triggered nerds at /o/ actually find it uncomfortable to look at the threads

when you are just having a laugh with your friends you always end up rubbing it off because at the end, it's just banter, but /o/ is so autistic it takes it on a personal level

It's like that one loser in school that always got bullied, and one day his mommy told him "just ignore them", you know he is hurt, you know you are pushing his buttons

I fucking love it

280hp is nothing special. The new Accord has 280 too. You can get into some base model rwd luxury cars for what it costs (35k i'm guessing?).

castrated to protect Chevy multiple times

nothing but badge engineered cars instead of own original cars

They went bankrupt and had to put something on the chopping block. Personally I think they should have axed GMC, leaving Chevy as the entry-level/truck brand, Pontiac for sports cars, Saturn for import fighters, Buick for entry-level luxury, and Cadillac for full-tilt luxury.

>>17507248
100% this
Pontiac was preparing to unleash a cheap rwd coupe that would have eaten camaro sales and a higher tier car that would have taken from the base model corvette

I switch between my $45,000 sportscar and my $2000 daily all the time. It's not too bad, my daily is an Integra that's lowered with stiffer suspension and is way more fun than most people give it credit for.

My Friends who flip shit trucks last night were telling me that my 04 Superduty was worth a couple grand, whereas if it was a GM or Dodge it would be worth 2x-3x more. And they weren't bashing Ford or anything, just talking about prices. Why would this be?

Car getting worked on in bad shop?

So my car was getting resprayed but I recently found out the guy who is doing the paint job has a lowrider.

I am now concerned that he may not take proper care of my car or try to steal things from it.

How can I deal with this situation?

Obvious bait but honestly, I would actually want a lowrider dude doing my paintwork.
>>
>>17507032
Lowriders have some of the most difficult and complicated paint jobs I've ever seen, those guys are fucking artists with a spray gun. Anyone that can spray one of those well is more than qualified to work on your shitbox.

I was at a muffler specialty shop because I had to get welding done, and I saw a group of three white teenagers paying $500 to get a fart cannon on their evo. just the cannon, not even a whole exhaust system.

I just sold my old Clio because some transmission issues were getting extremely annoying. Now I'm looking for a new car. How's this ugly little thing? I like it.

I quite like this car, seen it on the road a few times and it nice to see a new car that not fucking giant. that being said i believe it only has a 1.2 engine and i would want a tad more power in my car. maybe look at something with a 1.5 or 2 litre

In your dreams maybe. Not even compact cars have engines with that much displacement anymore.

I bought a slightly used car (7k on it) from a used car dealership.

I originally financed it but later paid it off that same year. After I picked up my license plates I literally never went to that dealer again ever.

So if my car does have a GPS tracker, It was never removed.

What are the chances it has a GPS tracker on it and where are they usually hidden or located?

I have really good credit, Do they only do that with people with shit credit or everyone?
>>
>Not only do the customers sign a contract saying they understand their vehicle is tracked with a GPS device, but they are legally abiding by the rules to not deactivate, remove or destroy the device.

the chances are 0 unless you signed up for it

if you did then simply go to the dealer and tell them to remove it, if you have already finished your payments that is...

Hey ladd/o/s.

What's your local scene like?

As you can see, over here, it's pretty redneck and sad. Mostly sad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSTpMAC13PY

Track days around here are few and far in between, so people resort to """tuning""" and... whatever this was.

Show us yours, vids preferred.

Spain here, lots of ricers but lots of good bikers too.
If you are looking for more niche or rare stuff it's quite harder to see apart from your typical rally event or circuit.
I Think that the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is one of the best tracks ever.

Here's a rather nice one if you ever find yourself in Slovenia - Vršič Pass

Safe to use WD-40 on windscreen?

I think there are some solvents and such that aren't recommended to be used on a plastic/synthetic like that wind screen

Thanks I'll just go pick up some good be gone.

>>17506583
WD-40 is safe, but you'll attract dust to it unless you clean it off with dish soap asap.
