Imma watch this fucking show until the day I fucking die. Heaven save me I'm a tried and true PBS car review fanboy.
Watching John gain weight with every show is a tru American experience.
>>27660538JewTube. They even do live marathons.
>>27660241The only car show worth watching on Jewtube, really.
>>27660241i love the original intro that they now use for their retro reviews, catchy as fuckhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=kMbDRGeTqJA
For me it's vintage Bud Lindemann road tests. They test every car on the track. It's pretty comfy watching these majestic beasts go around a track.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Av6RHSAbrxs
i fucked, I broken the hose of the acceleration body, how I can do a temp fix in the time I get the replacement?
blast it with piss
>>27660331i going to the junkyard if i dont find the piece i going to give a try to use a rubber hose, thanks
Well the junkyard have nothing with Ford focus 07 but I buy a new hose in the AutoZone this is the end resultI going to test this shitty contraction and go with a friend to help me to make the hose fit the connector I don't have enough strength in my hands to make more tight, thanks for the idea

>>27660298I like butyl tape to seal off things like that.>two inch duct tape to hold it in place>wrap to hold in place>four inch gorilla all weather butyl seal tape>wrap around hose and duct tape>seal it>it will probably stay that way foreverRubber adhesive is disgusting stuff but I'd be hard pressed to find something that can stay that way forever.

>>27660689>Because it's still more fun than gas cars that do 0-60 in 10 seconds>cvt equipped 3700lb shitboxIs this the first and only car you've owned or something? You seem extremely stupid saying something like this. An old 1.6L NA isn't far off a 10s 0-60 and it's 1000x more fun.
>>27660723It doesn't have a CVT. It has an eCVT, which despite its similar name uses entirely different principles. It's more akin to a one speed transmission.I'm not comparing it to a Miata. I'm comparing it to cars most closely resembling in it in size and segment, like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla.
>>27660734Me again. I was curious to learn more about how the Volt's drivetrain works and is basically uses planetary gears to achieve infinite gear ratios instead of belts. It doesn't actually shift, though, it spins one shaft (motor 1) faster or slower which forces another shaft (motor 2) to spin slower or faster while maintaining speed of a third shaft (the wheels) to keep the combined speed of the motors down to improve the efficiency or something. I don't know. It's still not as efficient as a BEV without planetary gear wizardry.
>>27660734An E-CVT is just a worse CVT since it's simulating the bands ability with clutch packs. https://www.gm-volt.com/threads/watching-the-volt%E2%80%99s-4et50-transmission-shift-gears-in-extended-range-mode.336870/
>>27660923The planetary gear set in an eCVT has far less friction to contend with than the belt and pulley system in a CVT.

>>27656964Why the fuck do you fucking retards think people will spend $45k on a chink truck/SUV over a $50k domestic?
>>27657033This. Detroit had some solid entries in the full-size market, but who in their right mind would buy a Chevy Celebrity or Lumina over an Accord of the same era?
>>27657033No they are not you dumb weeb>Mitsubishi motors falsified data for more than 25 years >Kobe steel falsified data since 1980s>Toray Industries falsified data of tires>Takara airbags falsified data since 1990s>Toyota falsified data of engines since 1980s>Daihatsu falsified data of crash test since 1980s>IHI falsified data of diesel engine for more than 30 years
>>27656964>a non-Tesla, non-burger cybertruckIs this real or just a PS?
>>27657020>the american populace already sold their soul to japan and korea due to 'muh cheap new car' (nearly killing the domestic producers in the process) and never blinked twiceI'll play devil's advocate and state that American automakers never give other segments that aren't trucks, SUVs, or SUV-like crossovers the investment necessary to thrive, but Asian automakers do, and reliably steal customers doing this. The American auto industry does not have a viable affordable entry into the market except for the used market, and used cars do not matter to manufacturers.When the economy shits itself, American automakers don't build a car to handle the economic hardship. They bring in a world car from a developing nation, Americans bitch that they feel poor, and then abandon affordable American cars. When America has an economic boom, they promptly discontinue the affordable car option and continue as normal.

200 quid a month here, mate. Shit sux all around.
I really don’t know how insurance works but when I swapped my 2010 Accord for a 2020 F150 my insurance rate (full coverage) almost halved.
>>27650552something here is not adding up, sounds like you are lying about something.
>>27650594thats because you are listening to retards that dont represent the average american.
>>27650541I pay for $50 a month did you buy a fucking Lamborghini
>find metal on drain plug like this last oil change>Current oil change same thing:(This oil change I am going synthetic but it makes me sad I love my truck I don't like seeing it like this. Can someone hold me?
>>27660554Yes. Will give me an excuse to finally drop a cumming into it but I love the 360la that's in it we have done so much together. If I pull it I doubt I'm going to put it back in unless it the cylinders are perfect
Rip OP truck.My truck was a complete shitheap that I had neutral feelings for and sold for as much as it was purchased for with very minimal money put into keeping it going.But man, I miss it. They shouldn't even be allowed to sell trucks like that ever again and I still miss it.
>>27660567I will never sell this truck I just can't do it. It's about to roll over 100k. Engine doesn't make a bit of noise but I think it's from sending it 100mph with no od. Just gonna baby it from now on
>>27660572Mine had a max speed of 80ish and noballs despite chebby 350 because of anemic 80s EFI and emissions and what have you. Glass joe transmission started making the death clunks and I noped out of there, guy who bought it just wanted a relatively low mile (70k?) 350 block to fuck around with for who knows what project and I needed better than 14mpg for a daily driver.
>>27660576I've got an 86 to daily now but man if I find a roller cam 360 it's gonna get the full treatment and out in there if I don't do a Cummins swap
>when braking hard at hwy speeds my suv will loose control and the rear tires will start moving sideways a littleWhy is this happening? the ABS seems to be working so its not the tires locking up
>>27657803check your tire pressures. If that’s not it, get your brakes fixed.
>>27657839> its a new car, 2024 just got it 5 months agoYou bought a nu-SUV made for soccer moms and you’re surprised it’s driving dynamics and stability are mediocre?Whats the make and model?
>>27657803Weight shifts forward, reducing grip on rears. This can produce lockup on the rear tires and not the front. A tire that locks will slow down less than one that doesnt. That gives the rear more kinetic potential than the front. If your are driving in anything but a perfectly straight line with a bilaterally symmetrical car, the rear will have a slight bias toward left or right, and will then move forward and in that direction, essentially spinning the rear around. Abs in consumer vehicles is trash, and so the tires can still lock somewhat.
>>27657803You need new tires wheels brake pad and rotors
>>27657813sounds like the rear is locking up before the front.

>>27659654Once you realize OP is a paid actor it all starts to make sense.
Found in the "Low Miles No Miles" public Facebook group.What's wrong with these people?
>>27658647Don't matter, there's oxidation in the top of the cylinders that will cause knock city pretty fucking quickly, also lots of plastic and rubber is worn to shit. No one should fucking buy that thing because very soon it will cost another 11k to fix everything.
>>27658558That shit washes right off. It's the cars that have been religiously buffed, for twenty years, that have no life left in the paint.
>>27658553>$40000 = $22,937 in 2002 dollars.The value of that car halved just sitting in his garage. Stuffing that $47k in a mattress would have preformed marginally better.Its actually kind of unfortunate. A lot of guys in the 90s and 00s were buying cars and storing them like that thinking it they would have a high value car on there hands some day that they could just roll out to Barrett Jackson action or a car show. The problem is the supply of these 90s/00s cars out strips the demand from younger generations.
>>27660479Probably dudes thinking they were getting the new version of 1960s classics not realizing everyone growing up in the early 2000s would want JDM legend cars or BMW/Mercs from when they were made solidly. A truck motor in a car stereotyped for being owned by rich douches isn't what anyone is excited for now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THfkDEetQdw
>>27660479You're such an idiot. Stop looking at it from a boomer's perspective of investing and inflation. He's listing it for $40k because it has no miles on it and boomers love corvettes. This has been listed for over a year, its one of the least desirable corvettes and has known glass jaws like the crossfire injection. Its just what boomers do. See my post above of having that attainable "super car" feeling their parents had specifically for corvettes.

>>27660402The US establishment is indeed comprised of greedy gullible retards of all stripes in a vacuum, but a large part of this is also the (now former) global elite being insane Jews and weird libertine communists in general and China having successfully sold itself as finding the key to achieving whatever esoteric satanic end state for humanity they’ve decided is “true transcendence” at the moment, in this case a a kind of third positionism in the form of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics. How easily they gave up authority they worked so hard to achieve is the craziest thing about it. You have to be incomprehensibly fucking Machiavellian and generally good at lying and selling yourself to out-Jew Jews
