Truckers are literally single-handedly sustaining society. It’s thankless, backbreaking, grueling work. The pay is decent but not nearly enough. There's an argument to be made for truckers' wages matching or even exceeding those of doctors. Both provide an essential service to society. Which one is more important is arguable.
Unbelievably long hours, hazardous conditions, and dealing with civilians in the way, driving on OUR roads constantly.
You WILL respect truckers. You WILL yield right of way to truckers. You WILL thank a trucker and tip every single one you come across. End of.
Information that helps:
>type of car (Truck, Car, Van, etc.)
>budget ($5-10k, 20k-30k, etc.)
>region (south usa, california, virginia, euroland, japzone, etc.)
>drive style (fun car, daily, utility, family, etc.)
And then any other preferences you have.
Leave all your ideas of what good/bad cars are at the door-- only good car models exist, no such thing as a car maker that never puts out crap. The badge doesn't make a car reliable or unreliable.

Peterbilt 389. That’s the best truck. It’s my truck.
Now taking your questions
From what I can understand, the engine has a torque curve for each RPM, and HP is merely a function of torque and RPMs
So is the HP curve enough to know how fast you will accelerate, you dont need to know torque for that?
And where does torque come from? Think its determined by things like the length of the connecting rods, the amount of fuel and air being burned (i.e. displacement, forced induction)... and of course engine RPMs.
What else is torque dependent on? And why is torque dependent on engine RPMs?
Used market is just scammers at this point so IDGAF about any "just buy a reliable used car!" advice that hasn't been valid since 2019.
I would like to see if I can figure out a pattern. Post cars that you think would apply.
Hope you bought that car you were looking at, otherwise good luck

Fast forward to today and amazon is bugging me to join prime again for like the 1000th time. I scrolled through my previously watched and saw old top gear and clicked on a few episodes... I had to turn it off after a few minutes. It was like watching videos of the dead unaware that they had died. Every second was a constant reminder of how fucked everything became after 2012 and how we didn't notice until it was too late.

The alt huhwite and the fake nationalists should be called out for what they are, grifters, porn stars, closeted pedophiles, an absolute freakshow that is more left than the leftest leaning liberal from 15 years ago. Our society and culture peaked back then and somehow this motoring program has become a museum exhibit, frozen in time on where exactly it all went wrong.

have they taken it too far?

It's just for checking if the carb runs correctly on my freschly build engine.
>2014: I bought the car and filled up the tank at Costco. Stop at a store, come back 20 minutes later, engine cranked but failed to start and went to 0 RPM. After waiting half an hour it started okay. Encountered the same problem a few more times. Suspected Costco gas was the problem, filled up at a Chevron next, problem goes away. Stop using Costco gas and always fill up at Chevron or Shell.
>Early 2024: Issue resurfaces but much more severely, including dying in the middle of the road while driving. Take it to the dealer, they replace the main relay, all is fine again.
>Last month: Since the main relay was replaced I figure that might have been the original problem and try Costco gas again.
>Present: Seeing low RPMs and rough idle at start for the last couple of weeks and today it failed to start.
I research this shit and everything says Costco gas is great, it's top tier, it's the same thing, blah blah. But I'm going to blame Costco and go back to Chevron/Shell unless you guys can convince me otherwise.

Aesthetically I like both, but I’m not sure about anything else.
For many reasons (mainly weather conditions and convenience) I need a compact crossover. I don't need off-road qualities, but I still need some ability tto ride in the snow.
I've selected a list of cars that fit my criteria and crossed out the ones that I won't take because I don't want to deal with these manufacturers.
So, any advice?

Looking at buying a Honda? Post here and we'll tell you our elitist asshole opinions!
Need help identifying a chassis?

A honda for all occasions edition
Keep in mind that a lot of cars would need to refuel at one point too, which will be lost time, so it is quite close in reality.
I need to replace my water coolant control valve (the black plastic part with all the hoses).
The service manual says to remove the AC compressor with the pipes connected in order to get to one bolt holding my part. This compressor is underneath the plastic part with the two hoses sticking out.
The AC compressor has 4 bolts, two underneath and two on top. When I get under the car I can see the two underneath bolts.
But the two bolts above, totally insivisible.
>the return isn’t limited to just the 5.7-liter version, but includes the popular 6.4-liter (392 cubic-inch) and the powerful supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI HELLCAT V8s, as well.
>many sources, have suggested that Stellantis eagerly wants the HEMI V8 back in its portfolio.
> the returning HEMI V8 engines will remain based on the proven Gen 3 architecture.
>Additionally, a new larger-displacement HEMI variant could join the lineup in the future.

Debating on just pulling the trigger on PS4S now, vs waiting for the sport 5 in my size.
is it possible to repaint it somehow or something without it looking too awful
let's say you have 4 choices:
a type R(real price, no mark up)
a golf R
a tlx Type S/A
or a genesis g70
which will you get?
Underappreciated
& thoroughly missed by me.
You now, the side that's immediately near the center console where the radio volume knob lives?
The entire point of volume control on the steering wheel is so that you can use your other hand.
This is so fucking retarded.

You can't disprove this fact.
>models not effected will go up due to competition being more expensive since it's basically free money
>new cars getting increasingly worse to repair due to design, parts costs, interconnection of computerized systems and diagnostics, meaning they get mechanically totaled for minorish things on older cars
>old cars that were still kinda manageable aging out or increasing in price due to the former
>aftermarket parts industry is all imported, meaning it gets even worse
>11 year old accords with low mileage are like $11-$15k
Is it officially over?
Who would've thought?
I have a large workshop and most non-specialty tools as well as a decent amount of non extremely specialized tools.
what car radiates tree frog energy. i want the right car for me
I'll start - I drive an Altima 3.5 SR. I like the power, I dislike the road noise and lack of sunroof. It's a comfy ride, and with 160k miles on it, haven't had a single mechanic issue besides lower control arms replaced by Nissan.
LMAOOOO

How can jeets compete?
These days, the tracks have been scavenged for equipment, the buildings stripped of copper, and the plot of land to fall into ruin.
What killed it? Well, that ironically goes back to automotive development.
Ford announced the construction of Blue Oval City, a battery and ev manufacturing plant in West Tennessee, about 30 miles north of the raceway. IRG Entertainment, who bought the park in 2010 and lost their ARCA contract in 2019, decided that it would be best to sell off the property for speculative development with new people moving into the city (Millington, a semi-rural town on the edge of the county Memphis is in) for work.
IRG Entertainment paid $1.9 million dollars for the raceway in 2010 and were offered $3 by a private citizen to purchase the track and keep it operating in 2022. IRG Entertainment refused, entertaining a 13 million dollar offer for commercial redevelopment under the condition that all of the non-permanent structures be cleared off the property beforehand. With the park scavenged and its equipment sold off to other areas, Ford announced an indefinite delay in the Blue Oval City electric vehicle plant, and soil surveys indicating fuel and oil contamination left the prospective commercial developer to back out of the deal. Now the track sits abandoned with IRG still holding out for Ford to make the electric vehicle factory in order to sell the land to a warehouse developer, as it can no longer be salvaged to operate as a racetrack without more investment than it's worth.
