is new Camero an epic bargin?
ext_GAZ_deg02
talk me out of it.

Its a full size real sports/muscle car with uncompromising design, for less than 1/2 anything similar.

Commies are going to try to shut down all real cars so this would be "The Last of the V-8s" even if I'm thinking of getting base V-6 and A/T (for reasons).

get OK MPG, and should be cheap/reasonable to maintain for years.

its kinda big for "real sports car" but.....

1)that should translate into better real world auto-cross driving on real roads, less likely to break something if you hit a bump, and then there is that not crazy basic American car repair factor again.

2) I'm 6'1" so can't really fit into small sports car.

3)even if big on outside and small on inside, its still got room for junk VS truly small sports car.

I'm TOLD that these Cameros don't have too much weird shit like this....

American Superiority thread
FuckEVsFuckRicecels
Why are American Sportscars so much better than anything Japan makes? Think about it... Camaro/Corvette/Challenger/Viper/Mustang/GT500. All completely assrape japan at every single level and trim, was it really the Fast and Furious along with Initial D that brainwashed these neckbearded incels? Imagine being obsessed with such shitty slow cars that enshrine your virginity. It's pathetic and you should be ashamed. It only makes sense that America is Japans master, we did crumble their empire and leave them weak and small just like their engines and our thunderous aggressive cars pound them into the pavement Hiroshima and Nagasaki style. So if you're ever browsing /o/ and you see these ricecels piping up remember they're deluded and allowed media influence to rot their brain to where they believe clown cars like the miata are anything but a clown car. Remember you were conditioned by an anime and mediocre movies from the early 2000s you pathetic ṣoƴ infused bugmen.

EVtrannys you're pathetic consoomers. You don't own a real car you're not an enthusiast.

is "muh induced demand" just a midwit meme?
traffic-jam-getty[1]
something about the claim that you can't improve traffic by adding lanes/roads has always struck me as a classic "umm akshually" factoid so often loved by dunning-kruger midwits. these types are drawn to counterintuitive knowledge nuggets like moths to a flame and i see it enough that it could be part of the twitter urbanist starter pack, so i'm left wondering, is it one of those things that's kind of true in certain contexts but is vastly overstated by walkable cities zealots? i understand the principle of it but it just seems like at best it should be an interesting thing to consider and not an immutable law of the universe.

EV Charging Cable Theft
ev theft
Thieves seem to be targeting EV owners' copper charging cables. At charging stations they're being cut and stripped, while the home chargers are even more vulnerable (you can apparently just unplug it and steal the entire $700 cable to re-sell on ebay). Why would anyone do such a thing to our brothers who are simply trying to be eco-friendly and prevent global warming?
Each EV charging cable weights about 8kg, so it's worth about $60+ for the raw copper content alone.
>"I think it’s very crazy," said Aleksi Virtapuro who was visiting from Finland. "Why would somebody do something like that?"

I'm trying to buy a used, soft-top Jeep for around $15,000. I'm not too picky as long as it's got less than 150k miles and it's got a camera on the dash I can use when I'm backing up. How feasible is this?

Also, I heard you need to make a certain repair to the suspension of Jeeps in order to not make them death traps. Else they're liable to flip over on the road or something like that. Can anyone tell me more about that?

I've been looking to buy a 2017-20 F150. Just need it to be supercrew, 4WD and under 90k miles at least.
The problem is, it seems like no matter the year, mileage or configuration, these trucks all go for ~$30k. I want to spend about ~$25k and I remember test driving a 2019 demo F150, the way I wanted it, right when covid happened and the salesman said they could sell it for $35k.
Do you guys think the prices will return to normal soon? Or is sub $30k the best I'm going to find?

Everyone knows these are fast for a truck but I can't find a single instance of someone taking off the huge ATs and running it with it summer tires. There's no telling how much faster it would be.
Is it just that the venn diagram between people who buy raptors and people who want to go fast are just 2 circles? I suppose it would be a hell of a lot cheaper to reverse level a regular f150 and shove a tune in it and it would be 95% as fast.

Hello all! What is this chirping noise?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYftVLIzcOM

Chirping sound happens when AC is on, when AC is off but I move the steering wheel (RPM goes up). Both fans are working. Sound seems to correlate with RPM spiking. AC compressor and alternator are relatively new (6 years old). Power steering fluid and dot3 are topped off. 215k miles on odometer but the long block was changed roughly 100k miles ago (before I owned it). AC blows cold unless its 90 degrees or higher. Blows 45 degrees at night.

Do you think it protects the general public or do you think its an attempt to get old not necessarily unsafe cars off the road to force new vehicle sales?

Should i get a VFR for first Traveling bike?
fan00097-6
Thinking of getting a Honda VFR. I want to use it for cheap travel.

Should i get a VFR for the first bike?
I don't have license yet, but i had a bike before.

My father, when i was a teen, stolen an old bike from Italy. A Fantic Motor with 200cc engine. I learned fast to ride it, and felt very natural and confortable to drive a motorbike.

I am from east Europe, and don't have enough money to travel as much as i want and where i want, and thinking that a bike might help. Mostly i want to ride in Italy, France alps and some short Magna Grecia and Peloponesia.

Not interested in enduro-touring, or offroad and trails.

Needs to be comfortable but also sportier and easy to drive.

What do you think?

When I'm a pedestrian, I'm scared of cars. I know how dumb people and cars just go so fast and are deadly to squishy humans. It's terrible in America in general that is not pedestrian friendly.

As driver, I'm terrified of pedestrians. When I'm in the city, people will stand right at the edge of the sidewalk. Some times they are retarded and just walk out without looking. I end up driving incredibly slow because I don't want to have to deal with someone suiciding themself on my car.

Engine Cooling and Intercooler Questions
centrifugal-supercharger-operation-diagram
I need to replace an aftermarket leaking intercooler/heat-exchanger on a 25 year old vehicle from a tuning company that doesn't exist anymore. I'm trying to find a suitable replacement but I have a few questions that I wasn't able to find answers to online, so I'm hoping to find out here.

Vehicle Context:
My intercooler/heat-exchanger is an air-to-water system that cycles coolant through dedicated channels built into a supercharger manifold for the purpose of cooling the compressed air as it travels through the supercharger. This cooling unit is dual pass, with both hoses on one side, it appears the gasket near the edge seam of the unit core is prone to leaking under light boost - and so I need to replace this custom unit that was installed decades ago.

AUTOMOTIVE ISSUE - Did I just fuck myself?
drier
>A/C has a leak

>Diagnosed it to be suction line

>Replaced

>Manufacturer says you should replace A/C drier too pic rel

>Can't find the A/C drier install location, Youtube mechanicing it

>No one on planet fucking Earth has ever done the repair for my engine type I guess

>Open the sealed container with negative pressure in it to see wtf the part looks like

>Finally find a diagram for where it's at

>Take front end off and it's now too dark to work

>Realize that my A/C drier is going to sit unsealed exposed to the outside air all night in my house

Did I fuck myself and have to buy a brand new one of these things? Do these things really absorb a fuck ton of moisture that fast? I wrapped it up in plastic bags but I feel as if it's going to be futile.

What's your "I finally understand X" moment, /o/?
Agony
What's your "I finally understand X" moment, /o/? Because I finally get it. I finally understand people who refuse to fix their obviously faulty cars. I just had to spend 400+ sheckles on my PC which I haven't touched in 10 years, and the whole time I was fighting myself, asking what is the absolute bare minimum I can get away with. "Do I really need this?" "Why is this so much money?" "Why are there so many different types?" "Is this really that important?" "Is it REALLY worth this effort?". I drive my car maybe twice a week, yet I've dumped thousands of sheckles into it without a second thought, but the PC use damn near every day? Tight as a ducks butt.

Explain Torque To Yield to me like I'm a bitch.
G3_and_StG44
They lost me on the first turn. Are they saying TTY has constant pressure because its going off the stretch VS...???....pressure created by threads, and WTF is that supposed to do thats so great? Is it some Solid Spring that takes repeated impacts better because its got spring?

I don't get it.

A torque to yield fastener (TTY) or stretch bolt is a fastener which is torqued beyond the state of elasticity and therefore undergoes plastic deformation, causing it to become permanently elongated.[1][2]
Fastener

Torquing a fastener to its yield point results in a high preloading of the fastener which, depending on the load frequency and amplitude, can significantly increase the fatigue life of the fastener. When the applied load doesn't surpass the clamping force of the fastener, the strain of the fastener will be lower than when the preloading is smaller than the applied load. It is therefore beneficial in high-frequency high-load situations with a higher risk of fatigue related failure, like a bolted down cylinder head, to use torque to yield bolts.[citation needed]

Advantage: Compared to normally tightened hardware, a smaller TTY bolt/screw may be used while still maintaining the same clamping force.

Subcompact car that can haul bicycles?
Screenshot_2023-09-21 MaxxTow MaxxHaul Platform-Style 2 Bike Rack Review - 2014 Chevrolet Spark Video etrailer com
My brother got a 2013 Chevy Spark and after driving it I want a subcompact car as my sole car. I'm looking at something like a Mini Cooper, Volkswagen New Beetle, Ford Focus, Fiat 500, Chrysler PT Cruiser(2 door) or a Spark like my bro has. I love bicycling. I don't really like bike trunk racks: 1) I don't trust the straps to hold 2) you can't access the trunk with them installed. Would it be possible to get a subcompact that has a hitch or install a hitch on the aforementioned cars, so I could install a hitch bike rack? Or are subcompacts usually not compatible with hitches, or are they are too under-powered in general?

Also what subcompact would be better for New Jersey winters when there is snow on the roads?

EVGeneral_9-5-23
Sup? Another thread for talking all things battery electric due to a lot of EV threads being about Tesla only, or just hate (which I don't entirely see as injust, this is just for the other end of the topic though)

The past week, IAA Munich gave a truckload of reveals including the four in picrel.

>BMW Vision Neue Klasse (prod. 2025)
>Volkswagen ID. GTI (prod. 2027)
>Mercedes-Benz Concept CLA Electric (prod. 2024)
>New gen Mini Cooper (prod. Q4 2023, likely)

And those are the headliners, there were also additional revealss for Opel, Renault, and BYD.

Which one would (you) buy into?

Anything else relating to EVs is also welcome for discussion here, quite obviously.

I intend to get an ND new when I have enough money to justify the purchase, but who knows when that will be. I'm holding out hope that Mazda will come up with a new rotary though and I'll be renting out my bussy 24/7 until I can afford one if they do.

Pic attached is pre-damage

2 months ago my 2011 honda odyssey van was stolen, I exited my van to pick someone up, (this was in broad daylight by the way) and a shirtless black man that's barefoot, ran to my van, and drove off, up to now I still cant find my van, despite the island I live in is only 51km/30miles long, smaller than Hawaii, (I live in guam)I still cant find my van.

Details of the van, it's a white 2011 odyssey, its all white, but the paint on the front top of the van, is scratched off, leaving a big grey mark on it, behind the van, on the lower side of the trunk, theres a small dent on it, here the thing, the license plate is scratched off, and up to now, they are driving around the island with the license plate scratched off, so you cant see the numbers or letters of the license plate.

I've seen it being driven on the road around 4:01PM, and 4:25PM, that's the time I mostly see it on the road, everytime I try to chase it down, it disappears.

We mostly see it drive past Salisbury street

At this point I've exausted everything and now I call upon /o/ for the hunt of my van, please and thank you.

Maybe bring melee weapons, a baseball bat should be enough or some brass knuckles, if we catch this guy I wanna make sure he doesn't get up again and steal others cars.

Post some fun, sporty cars that can be had for under $20k.
Not just a dream thread of what you would purchase. If you bought one and you love it, post it.

Me: 2002 BMW Z3 3.0i coupe.
Everything about is is just so great. The directness and weight of the steering; the clutch weight, throw, and engagement; the shifter feel, the wide power band, the handling, the seats.

I've been test driving a few cars and so far the only thing that's been in its league was a 2013 911, but that was $60,000. (it was very different -- more poised and refined and precise while the Z3 is very meaty. But it had the same feel of overall excellence.)
I'm looking for something to pair with the Z3, but not looking to spend that much.
