interesting...why would they do that?

Do anyone else cringe and seethe whenever they see one of these out in the wild?

Tesla and the Appleification of cars is the worst thing to ever happen to this industry.

They’ve been coming with allrounder bangers lately.

>Skoda superb broke the record of the highest run in a single gas tank.
>Kodiaq is economical and spacious borderline luxury.
>Octavia VRS is just…..fast for its price, perfect for rally driving and high tuner potential.

Sure it’s all done under the roof of the VAG factory but what’s your thoughts on this specific brand? Especially if you are in Europe. Seems like they’ve kept some things more - simply clever over VW.

The New Twingo leaked before the reveal

Twongi bros we are back.

Welcome to the Auto Vidya General, the thread for discussion of racing and driving games. Not chinkshit peripherals or ecelebs. Raise hell, praise Dale, hail Thrustmaster, ok.

Porsche is a soulless and massively overrated brand for boomers to think they are "luxurious". It is just Oliver Garden. No different than McLaren

How many of these "for good use only" ALPRs are near you?

>6 near me on the way to work

Explain the side by side market

Pic related is the Kawasaki Teryx H2 powered by the same supercharged engine as the Kawasaki H2 and H2R.

Its like a quadbike but huge. John Deere equivalents are like a kei truck but not-road legal making them less useful.

>turbofan wheels on a 90's luxury sedan
How riced would this be?

Any idea what car this interior is from?

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.

>The Wyoming diesel tuner who was imprisoned after being convicted on hundreds of counts of violating EPA emissions regulations received an unconditional pardon from President Trump last week.

>Troy Lake, the former (and perhaps future?) operator of Elite Diesel near Cheyenne, was originally sentenced to one year and one day in prison and fined $52,000 after being found guilty on more than 300 counts of disabling emissions devices in diesel pickups. He has been on house arrest since September.

>Lake based his initial defense on the fact that his emissions workarounds were designed to improve truck reliability, rather than simply alter their on-road performance. Some of the modifications were even purchased by a school bus fleet, Lake claimed.

>Lake is one of many diesel tuners were found guilty under the Clean Air Act, and Lake’s penalties are just a fraction of what some shop owners have received.

What's work like in one of these things?

How difficult would it be to automatic-swap an AZ-1?

Toyota is reliabl-ACK!


>MUH CARS MADE IN JAPAN ARE FIN-ACK!!!!
Oh look, the GX and LX are bricking themselves too, straight outta Japan, so all you blind Toyota cultists can finally shut your drooling traps about “muh American workers bad.” Your sacred rice gods still churn out exploding trash, cope harder, fanbois.

First time dabbling with plugin ECU crap but I've heard how great they are. Are they easy to figure out? I dont have anything else EFI to practice on so i basically need to get it right first time.

>customer states that there's a slight rattle when they crank up on a cold morning
There wasn't any oil on the dipstick either.

Is your car built for BBC (Big Block Chevy)?

>every car has a story. for some, it was the car they first learned to drive on. for others, it was where they had their first kiss. or maybe their first road trip.

unironically, how do you deal with selling your cars? how do you not get attached knowing all the memories you had with it?

Mazda prior to 2025:
>keeping your eyes on the road is the safest way to operate a car

Mazda after 2025:
>Here just fiddle with this iPad when you need to change the temperature while traveling at 80mph

Are they really going to save enough money by ditching 3 hvac knobs to justify going completely backwards on their design philosophy?

I’m talking about the price range too, so if you drive a brand new 30k Camry but your mate beside in the parking garage is seen with a used tuned 15k dollar BMW the former wins. What’s the price requirement for 18-22yr olds to out-do their peers at where you live or what car do you see them the most with?

>Now, a viral complaint from a Hyundai Ioniq 5 N owner has reignited the debate. The driver alleges Hyundai has effectively blocked owners from performing basic brake work, turning a routine fix into a tangle of software locks, proprietary tools, and corporate policies. What was once a simple driveway job now feels like hacking into your own car.

>At the heart of the issue is the car’s electronic parking brake, which must be disengaged and reset digitally before swapping pads. To do that, Hyundai requires its J2534 Diagnostic Tool, software hidden behind a $60 weekly subscription and a $2,000 hardware adapter. Yet, even with those hurdles cleared, reports indicate that the system doesn’t function on the latest 2025 models.

>One frustrated owner says his paid account was shut down by the National Automotive Service Task Force, allegedly because “DIYers are not permitted access.” Adding insult to injury, Hyundai’s own dealerships reportedly bypass all of this with a simpler, Android-based system that works instantly, highlighting a stark divide between owners and official service centers.

YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY

Why do people do this?

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.

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.

What went wrong?

is auto mechanic a good career?

Why are you fags so tribalistic with brands?

Old thread is racing right into bump limit so let me do the honours.

Y/o/u guys still havent told me wtf pic related means. Yes I asked months/years ago. I want an answer damn y/o/u.

Post your unpopular opinions about cars, bonus points if they're specifically unpopular on /o/. I want to see some grade-A shit-stirring.

>Lowering road cars/"stance" is the automotive equivalent of castration. It's turning something beautiful and capable into an ugly, rolling eunuch.
>Off-track, less grip is more fun, and even non-sporty modern cars are so performant that the average enthusiast can't really drive them at the limit. The average 911 driver on a mountain road is so slow that you can keep up with him in an overloaded Golf, and that's in the corners. Rich boomers who build comically oversteery Alfa Romeo restomods are doing it right.
>Group B WRC is the most overrated era in all of motorsport, rallying got way better and faster afterwards.
>Haldex AWD is really good at what it's designed for. It may not be fun, but it's very functional.
>The GR Yaris and A110 are the last cars with soul.
>If people were less aggressive on the road and kept their distance better, we'd all reach our destinations quicker.

Are German cars hard to work on like American mechanics say?

How much spray paint do I need to fix this myself?
Its expensive as fuck to get at the dealer so I cant afford to buy too much for it.

Also what kind of clear coat to get? My car doesnt look glossy at all.

Which way?

Why can't americans recognize a good vehicle when they see one?

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

>60,000 miles
>haven't vacuumed once

What's the biggest fuck up (or almost fuck up) you did while wrenching?

Once I almost died because I put the jack stand out at an awkward angle. I worked on the car for a couple hours before I noticed that the jack was literally holding the car up at an angle. I fixed it and nothing happened but after that revelation I went inside and didn't touch the car for a week

>be me about a month or so ago
>find cool digital dash mod that would fit my 2008 Chevy Tahoe
>bookmark it so I can come back to it after more important stuff
>was advertised for like $200 to $300 depending on seller
>finished replacing my radiator and some other more important jobs
>decide to look back into it
>the price is now $1,000 for this custom digital dash

Why the fuck did this thing just x5 in a matter of a month or so?
