you deserve it you dumb fucking shit.
You could have had a debt for anything, OP.
You could've had school debt for a good job
You could've had car debt like STIman for a nice ride
You could've had credit card debt like you just hit New Orleans up for a good time and lost it.
Instead, you chose to hit someone's property.
Kys my man.

All you had to do was turn the key to run without hitting the starter.

Fucking inbred moron. You deserve the debt.

How fucking loud is the car that you couldn't start it? And how retarded are you to forget the emergency brake is a thing?

>freaked out as the car isn't braking or steering
Brakes do work even without power brakes in the USA. That is usa law. You just have to stomp harder because it is now manual brakes and not power brakes. The failsafe option is there because of usa federal government safety law.

It was your mistake to not stomp the brakes. But instead, you only had your "oh noes, where are the super easy to use power brakes?" reflex.
>>
>>15926785
oh that was whats happening, what about the steering? is it the same for power steering?

Power steering and brakes aren't new technology. My '89 Honda would do the same thing in the hands of someone as stupid as you, as would many other cars that are even older.
>>
>>15926830
You are 19 so you haven't experienced driving the older cars from the "no power brakes" era. In most cars now, the brake pedal is some little thing that only one foot fits on. But way back then where power brakes was not standard, the brake pedal was double wide. You could fit two feet on it. Weak people or those wearing heels could use both feet to stomp hard on the break pedal. The brake pedal was the widest pedal in the car.

Kids nowadays are spoiled by power steering and power brakes. Can you imagine today's teenage drivers needing to turn a steering wheel around two or more times for a tight turn? And it's not just turning the wheel so many times but how hard one has to grip that wheel to turn it too. It's why some people wore driving gloves. Not due to the cold but so that they'd get better grip on the smooth hard material of the steering wheel to turn it fast without slipping.

>Has Rear and front parking sensors
>Only parking sensors I had used to date was Volvo parking sensors
>Astra parking sensors show on the screen distance to any obstacle
>Annoying beeping, doesn't really give you idea how close you are to something
>Turn that shit off, only annoys me
>MFW when it turns on next time I start the car and can't ever fully disable that shit.

>Have rented Renault Espace
>try out new remote parking feature
>MFW after 5min of trying to park the car with parking assistant I almost end up having crashed to Lamp-post.

Honestly, most tech in modern cars is utterly useless and just money drain.
>>
>>15926963
Not OP but I'm 19 and never driven a car without power steering/braking. My 87 4runner has both and it's the oldest car I've driven. No one I know has a car old enough for me to see what it's like. :(

You were a fucking stupid child, weren't you?
>>
>>15925799
that's not new technology dumbass

My 02 civic si doesn't let you turn the wheel in neutral without the car on.

Would you prefer it if Tyrone could just roll your car out of the neighborhood with no keys?
>>
>>15926963
Broken/unpowered power steering is nearly impossible to turn compared to manuel steering.
t. drove an early 90s Ford
>>
Went from power steering to no power steering and now I don't want to go back.
>>
>>15928250
>Would you prefer it if Tyrone could just roll your car out of the neighborhood with no keys?
Harbor Freight does sell car dollys for $19.95 a pair. With two pairs, all four tires are now rolling along and Tyrone can push your car over to the trailer-hitch type trailer he stole from someone else. Then they winch your car onto the trailer and take off. Mission accomplished.
>>
>>15928281
Nearly impossible? Fucking weaklings, I blew a spark plug in my Mountaineer and as a result the engine stalled, killing my power steering and power brakes while coming around a curve to a stoplight. I was able to turn the wheel and get it to stop no problem. Was a little harder but if you faggots can't manual steering and brakes, you need to cut up your license.
>>

Kek.

>>15929825
They're not going to cart off some 8000kg vehicle in the first place. They case targets first before striking at night. Break the window. Pop hood. Cut battery power to stop tracking GPS. Tow it off for chopping.
>>
>>15928593
The two ARE the same. Motor not running, as a result power steering pump not pumping, forcing the person behind the wheel to rely on the mechanical connection, making the wheel turn harder. If anything, mine would be more difficult because bigger wheels, more weight on them, ect. But continue to justify being a pussy, it's our generations calling card.
>>
>>15928459

The difference being you already had speed. Power steering cuts off once you gain speed because the car is no longer hard to turn without it.

My brothers car doesn't have power steering and I literally can't tell a difference when I get up to speed.
>>
I'm 25, I've driven without powerbrakes, without powersteering, with mechanical brakes, without A/C, without heat.
And that's not counting the cars with those features that failed.

It isn't complex, just annoying.

10" steering wheels ftw.

>take my Audi in for service
>they run out of loaners and give me a regular used Q5
>get a keyless fob to start it
>no hole at all where the ignition is
>sit in the vehicle in front of the main entrance like a dumbass for a while locating it

Minutes later I find it in a non-obvious location.

I was expecting a regular key and ignition, or fob that stays in my pocket and a START/STOP ignition button, but the fob must be pressed into a weird hole I think near the AC duct.

Surely this is pasta.
I remember the exact same thread premise + dumb story before

You're only looking at the lowest end Traytray. There's quite a few american negroes that cooperate in small groups to do their thing. We have those small groups in our area but the great majority are solo operators.

Does anyone know what happens to a steer by wire or brake by wire car if the signal goes out somehow?
> fuse blows
> die
>>
>>15930897
I'm guessing the car stop itself and refuses to go anywhere in theory.

In practice, you die and they claim you were distracted.
