Or are closed valves equal to stock, and open valves equal to muffler delete?

/smg/ tourist here
i’ve got some cash to throw at a car and i was thinking of getting the z71 traverse when it’s available to replace my 2017 journey that i fucking hate myself for ever getting
i have zero experience with these newer crossovers but i’ve got a 2016 malibu that i like a lot
is there some kind of retardation with the z71 that’s obvious to you guys?
i would be using it a bit on logging trails and pulling a ~2 ton camper and absolutely have to have the third row
Kneel.
Do you really need anything more?

ICEfags need to leave this board.
They want about 13k before taxes and all that gay shit. Car has 125k on it. New front and rear brakes+rotors. New sway bar (if I remember right, maybe it was something else.) One or two other repairs that cost the stealership 3 or 400 total.
All I want now in a car is something nice, comfy, quick, and not insanely priced. I'm done with my 90s shitboxes (for now.) Got burnt real bad on my last car. Great luck up until the last purchase, a blown engine, etc. Plus I've never had a "nice" car before. Hell, haven't had working A/C even in any of my cars since I got my license.
Anyways. Car feels amazing. Not super super fast but very quick, very fun. But surprisingly comfy and easy to drive. Decent radio too. Engine sounds great, exhaust too (although both seem pretty quiet to me.) I'm thinking I might pull the trigger if it's still there by Monday.
Thats a rhetorical question, I know the answer is because everyone completely overestimates the amount of space you actually need and use.
What I'm trying to say is - why aren't coupes more popular? Unless you have kids, why have backseats?
If you're realistic, the space of an mx-5 is all you need. Are your weekly grocery shoppings so large you need a huge boot, fatty? Exceptions, like when you're moving furniture, are exactly that - exceptions - and prove the existence of an overall rule. You don't need more than 2 seats and a small boot. The american mind may not be able to comprehend this.
I can't see the level. I used to see the point where the oil level is at. But when I check it's just oil color without delimitation. I waited 15 min for the engine to rest and clean the stick and it just return thin oil color. Am I running low on oil?
also humor thread
How difficult was it to build?
What did you pay?
What engine did you go for?
I was thinking of a K-series or a rotary. I know a lot of people like the Duratec, but I've also heard the K-series are simply better for track. And lighter?
1988 Mitsubishi Mighty Max SPX MacroCab- Wife bought it to learn how to work on carburetors. Really rare, fully optioned version of *the* most expensive 80's pickup. 2.6L 4 cyl is basically a tractor engine, paired up to the 4WD system straight out of the Mitsubishi Dakar Rally trucks of the era.
2014 Honda CR-Z 6MT - I bought this on fucking Cars and Bids back in 2021 to use as a supercommuting vehicle when I had a 193 mile daily round trip commute coast-to-coast in Florida. Slow as shit, and not particularly fuel efficient all things considered. Still love it though. Probably going to trade for a Miata soon since it's starting to develop electrical gremlins.
2021 Polestar 2 - Fucking love this thing. Nearly 500 horsepower and the best suspension on any vehicle we've ever driven. Got it for weekend road trips with the wife and to replace the CR-Z for my job, which requires travelling 30-200mi a day to see clients.

I've owned several "modern" vehicles over the last 5 years or so with this feature and I honestly hate it.
under perfect conditions MAYBE it would save 1mpg over a days worth of driving which pumps up the manufacturers MPG values but in real world applications I believe it's a null difference or maybe even a net negative when you take into account the extra components and wear and tear on the engine which might actually be worse for the environment overall.
I would be completely fine with this being an optional feature but the fact that you can't permanently disable it sucks (you can disable it every time you start your vehicle but it will automatically come back on the next time you start it).

What do we think, bros?
Like a sleek, slim car. Something an exorcist, or a vampire hunter would ride on a budget.
I've been watching 80's and 90's movies, man. There's something about the aesthetic. I'll get something more expensive when I get a better a job.
My first car, bros, I live in a slav shithole, I can get USSR cars easily, they're everywhere, cheap as fuck, and some look cool, actually. Are they good?
essentially a 3/4ths car. something that reduces the passenger side by half and uses it more for storage rather than a person sized space.
Still having the back passenger seat if you need it, but you could also collapse it for even more storage room. Keeping the stable dimensions of a normal car, but smaller, while compensating its absolute smaller size with larger interior space on one side for the driver and passenger.

So these are the "touchscreens are bad!" crowd. Funny how the one brand to go full touchscreen and start the craze also has far below the national average of accidents.
Is there anyone more reliable for SUVs than Toyota? What about Trucks? Muscle Cars?

>lurching and stalling on the drive home
>drive home was flat, but I'll need to deal with hills
Most of the issue is going from first to second I rev the engine way too much before I let out the clutch, even slightly powershifting it a few times.
I can clutchless shift my bike up and down gears, so I'm not a total noob, but holy fuck everything is backwards in terms of hands and feet.
Are there any tricks? When does it get better? I know all the theory, letting the revs fall to upshift, blipping the downshift, it just all goes out the window when I try to drive it.

Do you wax it and how often ? How long does it take ? Scotty says wax every 3months.
There is an option to "water-wax" on manual carwashes but I don't think it helps much given it cost 50 cent.

A bunch of retards had temper tantrums because they wanted proof that I have tires on my car or something. Anyways, as it turns out they're from 2004 not 2002, so oopsies, but here's a pic of the date code. I drove on these for my 1400 mile trip and around town after that and I still haven't spontaneously combusted.

Fucking boot licking scum the lot of them.
I am tempted to start a new hobby of throwing broken spark plugs at them.
Why shouldn't i?
Not like they can do anything about it they don't even sit in the cars anymore because people keep fucking their shit up.
What is your /o/ related hobby anons?
One third of the ND oem shift knob weight, makes shifting feel more mechanical and effortless, but shape will take some getting used to.

Doesn't count, you aren't finishing the job. That sterile humping you are doing is as far from actual sex as it is from masturbation.
Lets put young mechanics in to debt with our shitty taiwanese tools that are the same quality as harbor freight.
Any real mechanic will know that the the tools do not make you its the hands and knowledge that are fundamental to wrenching.
Anyone that disagrees with this is a tech school grad or a fagget that likes to larp as a subaru technician.

>Rear Wheel Drive
>Over 20mpg city, ideally 30+mpg hwy
For what it's worth I'm not sold on the Direct Injection with Port injection. Are any of those systems actually good? I've heard they still kinda suck and the engines get less carbon buildup than direct injection but still more than traditional port injection
Right now I think there are only 3-4 cars that meet this specification, but for various reasons I'm not crazy about any of them.
V6 Charger/Chally/300
Tesla Model 3
I think those 4 vehicles are the only that match my specifications. Although really I think it might just be the Tesla because of the key fob situation.
I keep coming back to the idea that the Tesla would be my best option, but I actually don't want a Tesla. I like ICE engine cars, I like going on road trips (even though I rarely ever do). Big issue I have is that I live in an apartment in the city with on street parking. Auto theft is not totally uncommon in my area. I don't want something easy to steal. Currently drive an old panther platform, no one wants em so it never gets broken into, but I just want something newer

The only friend he still has is his hunting friend from the nearby Indian Reservation who said "Bro, we gotta put 33's on that Bugatti you got."
I know it's suppose to replace Seat and I've read VAG reports that they consider Cupra as "semi-premium" brand - between regular VW and Audi. However when I checked prices VW T-Roc in same configuration is as expensive (if not more) as Cupra's flagship Formentor.
Anyone owns Cupra? Is it really better than Seat or Skoda or VW?
>this is considered compact
>this is considered classy
it’s so joever
I'm 33, and have never really brought a proper car. You know like a modern car actual adults buy, where they finance it and make repayments and look like respectable members of society. It makes people (and women) think they are functional and attractive individuals.
I've had like maybe 15 cars in my life. Spent a few grand max on every one. Totalled a few, scrapped a few, sold some. My current car is a 2005 Honda fit. Drives fine, cost me 3k.
Will getting a big boy car improve my life? I'm kinda getting embarrassed to still be driving jap import shitboxes.

>cars are a waste of money

>cars won't improve your life in any way
Yeah, it's a hobby that we all find interesting, and we accept that hobbies can be time and money consuming.
We also hopefully understand that materialism can't fill the voids in your life.
But what's the point of that discussion on /o/? You don't see people on /a/ or /v/ talking about how anime and video games are a useless waste of time.
Fun car ownership should be celebrated, but instead we have the the constant cynical posting of
>you probably got that car to as a status symbol, but you're in mountains of debt!
>you probably got that car to get attention from girls, but you're still an ugly loser!
I want to know what the reasoning behind this sentiment is, and why it's unique to car enthusiasts to drag each other down.
Been a while, got a bunch of new parts on it now. Mechanically, it's a new car, handles like a dream now that I've got coilovers and a whiteline bar on it. Darts around and loves to be thrown around
I got a bunch of shit in the way:
(2) push mowers
(2) trash cans
Wheel borrow fucker.
Shit all over the place.
My old man passed away, and did nothing with it.

So for a while I been on the market on getting a C8 stingray but I was curious on the 2024 Mustang and decided to check it out.
I was really surprised by how much they offer. The GT premium has some really nice tech. Nice large screens, ambient lighting, custom gauges, Pony logo when opening the door at night, etc. It’s 25K cheaper than the corvette and I’m surprised corvette doesn’t offer anymore than that.
So now I’m kinda deciding on getting the Mustang instead.
Should I just get the Stang instead of the Vette? Would I regret it in the future?
