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....

Yes, you can artificially create a chip shortage, that leads to a car shortage. You just need control over the supply. De Beers has been doing it for a century.

It can't just be that because that was long after the death of the '90s supercar.
I'm thinking about buying salvaged, and dropping in a 6cyl. But I wanna know how it feels to daily, before I commit.
Each EV charging cable weights about 8kg, so it's worth about $60+ for the raw copper content alone.

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?

A thread to discuss, post, create, and review anything related to automotive decals and stickers, as well as other general aesthetic modifications.
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?
>pic related, my carfu

Her only desires in a car is not a piece of shit, okay gas mileage, automatic, and reliable. Doesn't want anything flashy but also no grandma cars, ideally.

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.

What reason or purpose do people have they want to drive 3-4 feet behind you?
>that'll be $250k plus tip
I'm thinking FR setups in particular but any other examples will do. What are the benefits of a drive shaft over chain and sprocket and if it's so superior why haven't motorcycles adopted them?
Relatedly, are there any motorbikes out there using a driveshaft in place of a chain and sprocket?

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.
Pic is unrelated btw
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?

Is this a sexual innuendo?
anything i should know?
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?
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.
Need help identifying a chassis?

>all you have to do is spend $30k on a full engine rebuild because of fundamental cooling flaws that cause bore scoring and total engine failure!
...
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.
>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.

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.

Also what subcompact would be better for New Jersey winters when there is snow on the roads?
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.
It has a lot of rust underneath. I'm curious where I should start looking to see if there are any areas that need immediate treatment or even replaced parts due to the rust. If anyone can post pictures or anything that can help I would appreciate.

Am I right in thinking an rx8 is good if you want to learn to wrench?
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.
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.

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.
Would it be in bad taste to text the driver and apologize again? Or should I just forget about it.
Mine: 2010 r3 in blue. I love the OEM wheels but want to downsize to 17” (cheaper tires, less weight, better acceleration for a slow ass car)
