Saw the new IONIQ 6 on my way to work today. Do they have a hippo sit on the back before the model leaves the factory?
I just like it bros
>>27665359>lets play a game. you name a make, model, and year, and i'll tell you the recalls on them. if you can find one that has less than 3, you win.nissan frontier 2015horay i win
>>27664526reminds me of the wiesmann coupes
>>27665501Yeah biggest difference is that the Ioniq has a much more subtle transition from hood to windshield which makes it look way worse.
>>27665501>reminds me of the wiesmann coupesDid they also catch on fire when parked?
why not just buy 5k shit boxes and call it a day? Why spend 5 figures on a car?
>Drive $5 shitbox w/ 120hp>Clutch drop, redline, WOT into corners everywhereOr>Drive $115k shitbox w/ 450hp>Commute like a fucking normie where the music is the best part of the drive because if you crash it you're paying off something you don't have anymore
>>27665466>spending less money to get a car as reliable (if not more) as a new carAdmit that you're a wrenchlet who's probably too scared to change their oil.
>>27665234did it myself for a low mileage 2013 mx5. don't regret the decision as all high mileage mx5s are rusty, but I'd probably go older and higher mileage for the next car.pondering an R53 mini with supercharger atm.
I look at used cars and everything else as a spectrum.On one side you have new car, costs the most and "should" be the most hassle free, well, besides the monthly payments.On the other side you have the cheapest shitbox you can find. More of a hassle, but hopefully no monthly payments.Generally somewhere in the middle is best, for you that could be a 5k undesirable grandma's car, minivan, or hand me down.For someone else it could be a 30k usd New commuter, since they make 100k+ and don't like surprising maintenance issues.For another it could be a bicycle, since they live 3miles from their work, and 2miles from a grocery store. Everything is easy to repair, cheap, and if you can park inside not easily stolen.For others it's the bus/train.
>>27665466because the degree of what we're talking about is astronomical. The differences between a 5k 20k 80k car isn't going to be all that much aside from features and capabilities. All of them will drive you where you need to go. If having that higher quality of life means in curing a substantial amount of debt then to me it's not worth it. I think money in regards to using it should be done so with the idea of providing you the best utility. For most if they're going to be utilizing a vehicle then they should with one that will buy them of financial hardship. For your window comparison the duct tape window would be a car with obvious cosmetic damage. What I'm essentially advising is getting a window that's regular glass rather than tempered.Also why you just would reduce it to larping as a poor person is absurdly shallow.The point of money is to keep you safe. Money is allocated to shelter and food first for a reason.
>watch American driving test videos>its literally just parallel park then drive once around the block>whole test is 10 minutes long.It's a wonder why you have so many shit drivers.

My test was just driving around a housing development, one traffic light, and parking once. 4 minutes tops. The crazy thing is that people even fail it.
>>27660607Fuckin grim, no wonder the insurance rates are 4x higher than in germany
>>27660607pretty sure you cant drive that specifically since it has 3 axles. however you can drive similarly unwieldy vehicles that a 16 year old kid definitely shouldnt be driving.
>>27660596I didn’t even have to parallel park just 3 point turn out of a space

>>27665246That's just sour grapes. NASA is planning on ditching their engine for a truck engine because of their sheer power. Just a single spin of a tire is able to yeet them into the orbit

Noticed over the last 2 months or so my temp gauge has been coming to a rest below half like pic rel regardless of how long engine is running. Is this indicative of a thermostat stuck open or the engine running cold or is it even worth worrying about? Autistic OCD has me noticing any minor changes since its a daily.
>>27664415On my S10 a bad temp sender was causing this. Replaced crap Delco part with a NTK from grorious Nippon and the gauge stays dead in the middle.
on GM the gauge is set up to rest at 1/2 on the spoteverything else is usually just a hair below halfsome older cars that had "winter tstat" options might show 1/4 while driving and a hair below half while idling if you chose the colder tstat.if your gauge fluctuates while driving, you may have a stuck open tstat.

I'm 6'4" can I fit in an ND Miata, and are they good? I am longer in the torso I think. Or should I get an Ecoboost Mustang or something like that?
i got myself a BRZ instead but i always wonder what i missed out on and still dream about what if i got a miata instead
>>27665010You can have both and enjoy both worldsT. GR86 and NB owner
>>27665021if i was that rich i'd just get a honda civic or even CRV, and then a miataactually wait, it's not even the cost of the cars that worry me, it's the cost of insuring two cars in shitty canadai pay cad$300/month to insure my brz even though i'm over 25 and have a clean recordall because insurance fraud and vehicle theft are so rampant in this shitty place
>>27658503I'm 10'6" and I can fit in your mom, what's your point?
>>27658503only way to know is sit in onethe soft top has about 1" more headroom
Tesla changed the world and were the market leader and were western and were based but Musk can't compete with a billion slaves working for 12 hours a day for $10 a day, no one can.That's why from computers to soon cars to everyone else the chinks end up dominating.Their competitive advantage is pissing on the rights of their fellow citizens.As a western my plan is to make all people with brown skin in western countries work at factories so we too can have access to this cheap labour and make our own business's great again
>>27665149China is the most important market in the world you shit eating maggot brain. That's why Apple and Google suck Chinese Communsit Cock and sensor themselves to be allowed to operate there.Shitsville Alabama Nigger York and Cali 'Mom there's shit on the streets' Forni are not important markets.

somebody put a lift kit on a bmw?
>>27663896>until my first incident where I killed a mom with her baby
>used Tacoma with ~30-40K miles costs $40,000+>brand new goes for ~$50,000 depending on optionsI prefer the look of the older models and the new only have the turbo 4, but the pricing is straight up retarded. Why not get a new one?
>>27665066So don't buy one. They're overpriced. Literally the only thing they do well is hold value. In every other category they don't stand out at all.
Need a commute/family car and I'm kinda in love with the BMW i5. The rear looks damn hot, imagine it lowered a bit and nice wheels. I can charge at home so I don't mind it being electric. But the main reason is because it may be more reliable(?) less parts that can break, less maintainance. Should I go with it? Looking for a keeper to drive as long as possible. New M5 must be even nicer but maintainance too expensive and not as reliable. Go for it or nah? Other option would be the new prius but it offers less space, less comfort and costs almost the same.
>>27663575Getting a nubimmer without a clutch pedal is so tasteless, there's a reason for the turk stereotype. The reason to buy a BMW was for the driving experience but they ruined their steering with the electric racks, ruined the fun with all flappy paddles, and ruined the rest by being pigfat. There's no redeeming factor left, although at least the 5er hasn't got the dump truck face yet. If you want a hybrid unironically get a Prius, the new ones have a 0-60 that's like 4 seconds faster than the prior gen so it's a completely different machine than it used to be, but still the thing Toyota does better than anyone on the reliability side. It's also something of a luxury good in liberal circles so the upper trims are shockingly nice inside compared to the gen 1 my buddy had years ago.If you want a fancier badge for ego reasons I'm sure there's a Lexus with that drivetrain.
>>27662668bro if you want it get it.I wish I would like new cars.I don't want to cynical, i actually mean that.hope you have fun with your ride.
>>27664386>why would anyone buy an electric only BMW?Only economical reasons. I already have a fun weekend sports car so I don't mind losing some of the fun on the BMW. I can charge at home and safe money on gasoline. And from what I read it's more reliable than a combustion engine. Less parts that can break, less maintainance, would probably run forever. Worst could happen is a battery change in a decade or so. >>27664626I had lots of fun test driving the bmw i4. Sure you can't compare it to the old ones with shifter but country roads were great. They feel of steering, braking, etc. are perfect. I still think ride quality and fun is better compared to modern Mercedes/Audi/Lexus. But again, the "real fun" I can have with my RX7 FD that I drive on sunny weekends.
>>27662668>imagine it lowered a bit and nice wheelsricer
>>27662668ugly. represents you and your ancestors poorly.
Hello /o/ I don't normally come here but I figured this is the place to ask/shitpost: will pic related make my -93 1.6 Opel Astra go BRRAAP?
>>27665030No, you want to open the diverter valve on the turbo to atmosphere
>>27665036Is that the metal tubing thing perpendicular to the metal part with Opel logo

>>27664820Nice bike!
3 weeks ago I had my drz400 started for the first time since winter. Battery was dead so charged it and started it no problem. I took the battery off again to put it on the charger to give it a proper charge and let it sit there to "maintain" a charge or what ever it's called. Today I put it on the bike and tried to start, but nothing, completely dead, all i got was a click from the starter relay.Did I fry the battery letting it trickle charge for 3 weeks? Or is it just fucked. It's a 12v Pb battery thats 3 or 4 years old
>>27666457Ok can confirm that I did infact manage to kill the battery. Charged it up full and out it back on. It was able to turn the engine over for something like 4 revolutions, and then die again completely. Idk if the battery was alrdy doomed or if my charger is crap though.
>>27666457nah breh, batteries tend to die after a season or two anyway, so just get a new one
>>27666934that's a really nice build. what is it based on? I would've guessed a shadow but the air intake is on the wrong side. I've really wanted to make myself a bobber project from something inexpensive like an XV535
