Tesla Roadster reveal by December, Musk implied it will levitate. Why would he go on the #1 podcast and lie like that, is he retarded?

One thing I've noticed is the people who hate BMW have never driven one.

What are your thoughts on Lotus automobiles?

I want a reliable hatchback with a manual gearbox. What are my options in the big 25?

Is this the right board for talking about mini excavators?

These things are flooding the market and I want one so bad

Are they any good?

Welcome to the Halloween edition of Weekend Wrenching General! ITT we conquer the automotive horrors of our cursed rides. Whether you're chasing an Electrical Gremlin that drains your battery every night, a Death Rattle in your engine block, or you're just trying to exorcise a stuck caliper, post your trials and tribulations here.

Don't let your project turn into a Junkyard Horror Story.

Old thread is in autosage so I'll start a new one

Can /o/ identify the car being driven in this picture? What is it? Funny story, it would help me to know.

should you warm up your engine in winter or not?

What went wrong ???

Let me know when you finally notice it.

>Toyota, Honda and Suzuki are spending billions of dollars to build new cars and factories in India, a sign of the country's growing importance as a manufacturing hub as Japanese automakers redraw global supply chains to reduce dependence on China
I'll be buying Toyota, Honda, and Suzuki exclusively from now on

Didn't see a stupid six star jap car thread so my tired ass is here. 03 forester, 5 spd, 186k on dash, more than major rust up front and/or everywhere than i want to admit. I want to know if there is any way to adjust camber on the rear in any way that I dont know about because after putting my car on my lift at work I dont really see any way to do so, and my rear tires i bought a bit ago are gonna get worn to fuck. This is a shitbox and I can and will do stupid things to it to try and get what I can out of it but would like some insight if possible. Camber is super negative in the rear and I just want to try and get it back to somewhat normal if one of you guys has a solution. I do not care if its ghetto as fuck or not, I dont drive too far in general but I love this pile of shit for very few reasons like the way the a/c and other knobs work. Pic related.

Mountain roads arn't a substitute for going to the track.
You Fags are worse than the cone dodging crowd.
Driving a back road at 75% pace is simply not the same as pushing 100% at a track at triple digit speeds.

>Yes, I live in a modern suburb and haven't left the city since year 9 school camp
>I have never seen an unpaved road in my life and never will
>I have also never towed anything in my life
>the ideal vehicle for me is clearly an oversized truck/SUV with the highest possible front!

>my two car garage is now a one car garage!
>I now can't fit into parking spaces!
>Everyone is looking at me, they must be super impressed by my car!
>look at these losers in tiny cars, they can't afford the car payment I can!

Seriously, what can be done to get rid of these things?

when do you stop for gas?

Not my problem

>the fastest speed limit in burgerland is 137 kmh
>it’s only a single motorway in Texas

Seriously how can you stand getting anywhere at all so slowly in such a gargantuan country?

xjr is supercharged 4.0l v8 with some 390hp, pneumatic suspension and luxurious interior. I expect it to be a money pit, but unless it's more than half of car's value per year I should be able to afford it. Yes, I have a backup beater.
Please talk me out of it.

"But hey, I know more than you. SO don't feel bad about not selling it."
>leaves.


Literally the day after the engine ran like dogshit. Wouldn't start and if it started it was undriveable.

The "mechanic" pulled a PCV hose to the intake causing a massive vacuum leak

I ended up pulling the ad from facebook and sold it to my friend for 1500 to settle a debt instead. Fuck selling cars in public forums

What is the Australian car industry like?

are kei-trucks practical vehicles?

Now that the Maverick 300T exists, do you really have any reason not to buy one?

I'm just never putting 0w-20 water in my engine

the same engine was listed for 5w-30 just 10 years ago with identical tolerances.
0w-20 or thinner is a scam to make your engine wear out faster.

Is this the best gas station overall? Maybe it’s because I’m a flyover fag but QT’s standard from food, bathroom cleanliness, to how well their employees are trained all seem to completely mog the competition.

give kias a chance

thoughts on this thing?
there is a manual one near me for 1700 euros, but its rhd

apparently its an SLK underneath, and has the reliable merc v6
not particularly fast, not particularly good handling, interior is ass

am I retarded for wanting it? looks like a good baby GT

I love them so much!

>traffic light turns green
>engine heard starting

What's work like in one of these things?

>Just like with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N's shifting simulacrum, Honda's simulates a fuel cut at the top of the rev range; go too deep into a "gear" and the car will bog down as it bangs off the programmed limiter. In either mode, the Prelude's speakers layer in simulated engine noise over the four-cylinder's actual (and restrained) hum.

I can just see it now. Some old guy racing towards the nearest McDonalds, fake K20 engine sounds screaming out of their interior speakers as people outside just hear a large hairdryer lurching around as it "hits the limiter." How embarrassing is this?

>get car from grandpa
>1995 honda civic
>it's actually not a civic but partly made up of a rover
>want to change its oil and transmission fluids
>manual just says to get outdated, oil, no mention of it being synthetic or not, needs zinc but those don't get made anymore, and OH! You must get these specific facturer oils else your car might wear down
Honestly it's pretty impressive that they make these things so vague as possible just so they can force you to pay a mechanic to screw a bolt on the underside of your car. What kikery is this?

red: all nissan altimas are governed to 80 mph, and if they made a series of sudden lane changes, police in the area are automatically alerted to their location via gps beacon, neither the governor nor the gps beacon can be removed or disabled

green: every time a pickup truck tries to tail another car, a governor cuts its engine power until it is a safe distance away, there is no way to disable the system

What went wrong?

>Ferrari gets a movie about Enzo
>Lamborghini gets a movie about Ferrucio
>Maserati movie about the brothers coming soon

It isn't fair. When will it be our time, Porsche-sisters? Fucking Maserati is getting a movie before us. Is it the Israeli Mossad agents in Hollywood holding us back?

>M/T
>no subscription services
>no infotainment
>no wifi or satellite capability
>key start ignition
>minimal safety features
Are there any new model cars that fit the above criteria?

Be honest: could you outrun the new Bulgarian police cars?

Because its Brunkus, Brunkus McTab-tab

Did we discuss this one from the recent Toyota presentation? Front-engine, RWD kei-car, to replace the FWD Copen we have now. Considering everything, might get a 1.3 eventually, then it'll be a proper tiny Miata. Not quite as charismatic as the S-FR, but still got a bit of the old frog in it.

Can it compete with Japan's domestic Kei cars?

keep the shitposting going

Benchracers here will disagree, but the Italians are the single-only nation on this planet to have imbued genuine soul into their cars. Their cars are imperfect but have character, unlike the sterile and autistic Germans. They have style and elegance, unlike the vulgar and rough Americans. They focus on on the exhilarating experience, unlike the bean-counting lifelessness of Japanese cars. Sure, they may not be reliable. They may not hit the top of the benchracing spec sheets. But stepping into a Lancia, an Alfa Romeo, a Ferrari, once can't hope to ignore the fact that the car was first most designed as a passion, and not simply a consumer product like any other. After all, aren't we all enthusiasts on this board, should we not seek the most sovlful car?

You could buy a turbo diesel one of these lmao
