Reminder that Hennessy is building a 300MPH hypercar
https://youtu.be/26ANu9BTGH8
Euro/weeb butthurt imminent.
Didn't SSC claim the same thing. If it doesn't go 300 mph, its not a 300 mph car. Enjoy your lies.
Ok
sup o car noob here
I want to buy a german luxury car, and i was thinking since Audi is owned by VW, does that mean if i buy an audi i wont be hit with high repair costs and unreliability like with a merc/bmw since audis are based on economy and mainstream vw cars?
If so, then it seems like a pretty smart idea to get an audi, luxury german reputation and looks but cheap parts and maintenance
>I want to buy a German luxury car
Stop right there
No you don't

So what does /o/ think about the new Accord?
I think they revealed it yesterday on a livestream?
Anyways, did it get BTFO by the Camry?
Any other thoughts?
>>17540504
Love it. After years of making dull cars, Honda looks like they're back in the game. Slays Toyota.
I just hope Honda's sportbikes grow some balls soon, as well. The current CBR1000 is junk.
>>17540504
Yeah i was gonna buy the accord but now im just gonna get the new camry xse v6.

Spotted the stop light drag racing ameritards. The only thing the Camry BTFOs the Accord at is being a fat comfy sloth with a solid wallop of power.
>literally requires a cage to set its claimed quarter mile time
>slower than a ecoboost mustang around a track
Is there a bigger automotive scam than this piece of shit?
Alphonse thread, do not reply

It's the typical muscle car. A one trick pony.
What do you jam out to when you drive?
Also what do you drive.
I drive a crossover that /o/ would likely hate.
I jam out to stuff like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpxVy_tv6Ng
>>17539832
I don't jam out, distracted driving is worse than drunk driving.
>>17539836
I can respect this. Do you listen to music at all? I don't literally mean jam out and not pay attention but is there any music you actually listen to when you drive that you enjoy?
>>17539863
I do but I keep it low because tinnitus and retards everywhere. Mostly NPR classical and soft electronic recently. It changes up every couple months. Before that it was chinese folk and stoner rock. I had a single eurobeat mix for a year at one point because the radio didn't work and I'm lazy. I don't really notice the music half the time.
What should I do with this thing guys?
I'm bored of it, valve cover gasket started leaking, a/c is on it's way out, and I'm not sure that it's worth it to fix it.
I wish I could sell it, but nobody wants a turbo Audi leaking oil onto the exhaust manifold and smoking every time you turn it off. The a/c is also a big factor down here in Louisiana.
Fuck me. What do I do? How do I get out from under this thing?
pls help
>>17539811
Sell it to junker.
>Audi
>>17539816
>>17539837
Seriously though, am I just completely fucked?
I live on disability income from my fucked up back, so I don't even pull $1,000 a month.
There's no way I can properly maintain this car is there?
I went bungee jumping with my gf for her birthday last night. It was a 2h30min drive from home and it was my first time driving on a two way highway with no lights. We chilled there until 9pm and then had to go back. I was already really tired and it started to rain but very lightly. I am ashamed to say it, even after years of driving experience, it was the most terrifying 2h30 drive I ever did. I couldn't see shit in front of me, like maximum 20 feet. I couldn't use high beam because there always was some cars coming from the other way. The highway is not lit and because of the rain, it was blurry and couldn't gauge me distances. I was constantly blinded by oncoming cars, wipers were going full speed and basically just driving blind. On top of that, I had an annoying woman playing music and talking to me and I just acted like a robot all along because I was focusing on not dying.
Anyone else had a terrifying experience?
You should start a blog

You must be short. If you sit tall in your seat, the angle of your eyes to the lane markers is better and you can see the road better. The more parallel your view is to the roadway surface, the more the rain and other car headlights wash out the lane markers. With the washed out lane markers, no wonder you felt bad driving at night.
This is another reason why some people like SUV simply because the height above the road surface gives them a better "look down" angle to see the lane markers and turtles if it rains or if there is oncoming traffic.
>>17538912
No...it's just you. I've been driving since I stole my dad's car at 14, and I'm 52 now...nothing really bothers me anymore...
what's the fastest car in existence?
Its not fair! I was fucking around with bearing wheels decades before it was cool!!
Bloodhound ssc has the land speed record, at 1000mph.
Define car and existence.
does /o/ get insecure when they see a girl that owns a bigger, faster, and nicer car than them?
>>17538604
what the FUCk is that
Joke's on you, girls around here like small cars that are easier to park and not hit stuff in.
>>17538611
a car silly :)
Other than a hula girl, what other sleezecore items can I add to my car for novelty?
-jack in the box antenna head
-hula girl
-fuzzy dice
-leopard print seat covers
That's all I have on the list, anymore suggestions?
hot pink steering wheel cover.
gas pedal that looks like a foot
waving rear wiper

HI TO ALL, MY NAME IS PETER HARRIS I HAVE BEEN A CUSTOM CAR BUILDER FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS AND I AM SELLING MY OWN 1968 JAGUAR, I GOT THIS JAGUAR OVER 30 YEARS AGO FROM A FRIEND WHO ROLLED IT IN A ACCIDENT AT THAT TIME IT WAS A 2+2 COUPE, I REMOVED THE ROOF PUT IN A 302 FORD ENGINE AND DROVE IT FOR A FEW YEARS TILL THE TRANS WENT THEN IT SAT TILL ABOUT 8 YEARS AGO, I GOT IN MY SHOP A 1971 OLDSMOBILE 442 WITH A BLOWN 455 IN THE REAR AND IT WAS FUN TO DRIVE SO I DRAG THE JAG IN TO THE SHOP AND GOT STARTED.

FRAME IS WHITE WITH SILVER HAMERTONE POWDER COAT.
THE CAD 500 CI WAS FUN BUT GOT TO BE TO MUCH SO 2 YEARS AGO I INSTALLED A 1990 CHEVY TPI 350 ENGINE COMPLETELY REBUILT WITH EDELBROCK HIGH FLOW ALUMINUM PERFORMER HEADS, WIRING FORE CAR IS EZ WIRING, TPI WIRING IS PAINLESS ONLY ABOUT 600 MILES ON THE 350 NOT EVEN BROKE IN YET AROUND 3,000 MILES ON THE CAD TURBO 425 AUTO TRANS.

HAD PLANED A TOP BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO MAKING ONE.
>>17537817
>fully restored
what in the fuck
this is the worst thing I've ever seen
who in their right mind would think that abomination is still a Jag
>>17537817
Thanks you made me so fucking angry.
I don't even give two fucking shits about classic cars and I think etype is overhyped as fuck.
But this is just fucking disgusting.
I mean it's just some totalled old shit rebuilt but even if it was honest and for sale for 300 dollars I'd still be fucking angry.
How does /o/ hold the steering wheel?
>>17537299
just like your picture when loads of traffic or going fast, otherwise I use just my left hand as it is on the door's arm rest
>low traffic, or low speed
left hand at 9, right arm relaxing
>high traffic, high speed
like your pic
>>17537299
I don't hold it
Spot the American supercar
OH WAIT
Even the japs don't buy American
>>17536875
>murcielago
>F430
If that's a "super car" than pic related.
>>17536882
Your picture has a Hummer in it.
What one should I buy bros? Then mustang would probably be a new edge gt model. Also I live in a busy city so it's gonna be an automatic.
Id go with stang. Parts are everywhere for the 4.6 that's in it and you get 300 lb/ft of torque for the dank launches if you so choose. Stang also has a lot of trunk space and the backseats aren't too bad to sit in if you absolutely have to.
>>17536701
What would be the best mods for a stang?
>>17536711

Car is not angry.
Car is happy it still runs
>I know I leak sometimes. But I still keep running for you.
>>17535211
There's just something I love about these older cars.
Car is angery
>>17535211
car wants to be free
car wants to run
but owner wants too much
he knows what he has
