Do motorcycles go faster when the rider does a wheelie or is it just something that happens in videogames?

The other way around, games do it backwards. Bikes go faster to the point where they can do a wheelie

Is FWD really so bad when considering normal people? Would it be better if average person uninterested in cars had to daily drive RWD?

Yes and yes. The driving Dynamics, maintenance and balance is better. FWD only benefits the manufacture in making a cheaper car off the line.
>>
>>17492264
Yes it would be better. Then the average driver would be forced to have more hectik skills and would be more interested in thier cars and more likely to be enthusiasts of driving and cars.
If you dumb down everyone's cars into fwd commute appliances then you cant be surprised when car culture withers and dies because the cars are not interesting to drive anymore. Its almost like that was the plan all along...
Set low expectations for people and machines and then act surprised when people barely live up to those low expectations for themselves and thier cars.
Set high expectations for yourself and demand better machines. A rwd v8 with at least 350hp is the minimum requirements for every car I have owned. I will accept nothing less, and I will make sure my son demands nothing less. And if he does settle for a fwd purse carrier I will insist he have his sex legally and surgically changed to female so I don't have to live with the embarrassment if a son who allows society to tell him he I ly needs the bare minimum of a vehicle and he shouldn't want anything greater than that.
Low expectations OP. You seem to be one of those.

understeer is a lot easier to predict and control unlike oversteer.

100%.
I've done it before. Granted, I've never tried on pavement, but it's certainly possible offroad.

Yep, its awesome, thanks to the low centre of gravity and it being so long you can easily drift it at 70km/h. You should try it buddy. Post Results.

I carry a knife, gun, cigarette lighter air compressor (in case of flats), and a fire extinguisher. I kind of rely on the flat tire that I potentially can get being minor enough that I don't need to use a spare. Generally, I also carry a tool kit with some basic stuff, but not at the moment.
Other than that, I carry my phone, keys, and wallet. No reason to carry anything more.

>rotaries are dead because they leave fuel unburnt and can't meet emission standards
So, what if you add an extra rotor where the intake is the exhaust gases of the previous rotors, perhaps with some clean air, and ignite the exhaust gases of the previous rotors with no added fuel to burn up all the unburnt fuel from before?

didn't they try this in the 80s to marginal success? only it was recycling the exhaust and not with another cylinder

S10 is nice if you have a basic trim, or can deal with the old plastic rotting off.
Ranger is the in-between for American and Japanese compact trucks (apply this to Mazda variant as well)
Taco is good if you find one with a clean underbody

So, a while ago I posted this https://archive.4plebs.org/o/thread/16565688/ in which I included a lot of information and websites to aid in the "check" of a VIN.
>Now, I found one new website which, although small, can help you identify (or give you an idea) a problem by just listening to a "noise".
http://mycarmakesnoise.com/
Also, I'll copy/paste info from last post. Maybe I'll throw in some checks for the lucky gals :)
>PLEASE READ EVERYTHING!!!!!
>THE FOLLOWING SOURCES ARE FREE AND TO KEEP THEM THAT WAY YOU WILL HAVE TO... NOT FUCKING ABUSE THEM.
>Odometer fraud, Branded title, Flooded... You have to put the email you used on Carfax so, once you check it, the vehicle will automatically be added to "mygarage" on "mycarfax.com".
https://www.carfax.com/press/resources
>Theft report and title check (more specific)
https://www.nicb.org/theft_and_fraud_awareness/vincheck
The following have a limit of 2 or 3 checks per 24 hours so, use the above first and if everything checks out then you go here. To use the following website you have to enter the info and shit but once you get to the report/results page you have to scroll down all the way and click on continue to see the full report.
>Search by VIN
https://www.vehiclehistory.com/vehicle/land.php
>Search by plate/state
https://www.vehiclehistory.com/licence-plate-search/licence-plate.php
>Finally, the maintenance/service/ records and a new feature that values the car you are checking by using the records.
>On this website you will have to create an account (don't worry they don't need verification so, you can use literally anything.
>BUT... make sure you save/remember what information you use to make the account as you don't want to be making accounts everything time you check a vehicle out; that will draw attention.

So the Mustang GT did horrible in the new EU NACP crashtest. Also the new Tesla failed at crashtests, why can't Americans do something right when it comes to cars?

How do I get to NYC by car without having to pay tolls?
I live in NC but one week from today I will be driving to NYC just to see it. I rode there last year with friends and I remember we had to pay $15 tolls at least 3 times which seems excessive.
I've been planning my route on Google Maps even selecting the "avoid tolls and highways" options but from NC to NYC seems like a toll is inevitable. Thus far it seems I can get to Trenton NJ and then find US Route 1 no problem but then that leads to the Holland Tunnel where there is also a fucking toll. Unless...
Unless there is a secret somebody knows?
