>Because everyone crashes during their first year.

I didn't do that. I got rear ended 9 years in and it was no fault on my part.

I guess not many of you live on a place where seasons in a year go like this

>Frozen hell

>Frozen hell with ocasional rain so there is ice eveywhere

>The mud and snow months some call spring

>Warm rain for a few months, ocasional sunny weeks

>Cold rain

>Cold rain plus fog

>Freezing begins

>Frozen hell

And so the loop continues eternaly.

>>14833

I'm in the commie shithole called NY if not the weather the asshole drivers will get you. Maybe you just fucked up and won't admit it. It's not the end of the world. I've been rear ended before. It doesn't mean you're a bad driver, but you could be. Just drop it.

Actions speak louder than words, and in the end, he drives the incarnation of "the modern car" he argues against after ruining and selling a car that was made as an answer to that sort of lament.

Turbowski is a colossal fucking faggot that needs to get knocked down 20 pegs or so. Classic low iq know-it-all and with a shit attitude too. His opinions are garbage and his too cool for the room demeanor drives me up the wall. I work in EPC and the construction side is chock full of faggots like him and usually the smarmiest litte cunts are always the least competent ones.

mark shitdick takes himself way too seriously and and needs to get more focused videos. He's not interesting or engaging. Though his opinions are generally correct, you can get better info elsewhere and far more entertaining.

Which one of guys was typing SIEG HEIL and FUCK NIGGERS in sg's livestream last night?

I like both Turbs and the cynical manlet, they're midwest af and the format is good overall, just sucks they don't get sharper/newer cars to review while faggots like Shmee, subaruwrxfag or Saabkike04 get all the good shit immediately.

>>14786

I also hate that gay flip from Redline Reviews or MotorTrend for distracting from their shitty reviews by using really beatiful shots of landscapes and Danny Elfman type background music.

the joke was that bismillah is actually an arabic word and literally means "In the name of Allah"

I understand the translation, meaning, and joke, but those are the actual lyrics, and by the looks of it >>10072 was trying to play on an apparent typo.

>wings at front and rear

Name me one road going car from a major manufacturer that has wings both and the front and the rear.

Furthermore, name me three road going cars from a major car manufacturer in which the wing is not mainly there for aesthetics.

Aerodynamic downforce is negligible in road use.

Are you drunk or retarded?

>>14762

You are a dumb fucker, it is a waste of time reasoning you, hoping to have more intelligent readers.

I read:

>your OBD is too old so we can't work with basic mechanics without electronic assistance we don't want to screw it up and pay you damages

>>14668

>>14666

That doesn't make any sense. OBDII was standardized in 1996, and literally every car made since then uses it.

>>14700

fuck off m8, plastic bumpers may look ugly, but they absorbed impacts much better than solid metal ones, scuffs came off if you just rubbed your dry hand on it a few times, and were a hell of a lot cheaper to replace. There's a reason most commercial vehicles produced today still use 'em, and that's because they're more of a convenience for someone who needs to drive great distances without that much care.

>>11926

>drive across state borders

Oops, didn't notice that.

Not sure why that would affect what car he got though, smog tests and such don't apply for out-of-state vehicles…

>There are a lot of Mercs 300 and C-classes that goes over 300k miles.

300 series ended in the 80s/early 90s. Those were the last decent ones in terms of reliability. C-klasse went to shit with the rest of the new or redesigned models in the mid-90s afaik.

>I assume OP's car with a Kompressor isn't a V12 neither

Obviously, but if a few of their cars are horribly unreliable and insanely expensive to maintain, and they don't outsource production a lot like some conglomerates do, then there is a pretty good chance that their other models are prone to the same unreliability, to a degree. This is all circumstantial of course, should look up reliability tests if one is actually considering that car.

CHECK THIS POST OP THIS IS THE CONCLUSION

>>11932

I agree with all you said (and OP died). We can conclude that the merc is the best of the two, but he should check out the asian rides.

Get a Civic, no question about it. I purchased my second car after owning a Civic for 2 years, it was alright on gas I figure something was wrong with it, but it drove pretty good and was an overall good car. Opted out of getting a second Civic because literally the whole world owns drives them and I wanted something different.

RIP OP

I'M THE B♂SS ♂F THIS GYM

>>8857

Would include anything before Hennessy Venom.

The guy's a piece of shit, he rips people off like there's no tomorrow. His GTR tunes are shoddy and unreliable. The Venom breaks down at almost every test. He sells customers their own parts back to them. He strips peoples cars down and just forgets about them. He overcharges, underachieves, and has no real reason to still own a business. I hope he gets lynched.

I always wondered who's going to buy this car?

A rich JDM fan? No, the car was built in the USA and designed by burgers.

A richfag that just wants a prestigous car to show off with? No, fully specced, this costs Huracan money. No normalfag will get a Honda over a Lambo only to impress chicks.

It's still cool enough for what it is. A nicer looking Corvette with an interesting powertrain.

>>8525

I've seen one up close a few months ago. That thing did NOT sound like a v6.

>>14483

It obviously has the smallest v6 they could fit in for the name of it. That thing is mainly electricity powered.

>>8852

>A stretched Lotus and what looks like a Chinese company's attempt at updating the Lambo Diablo for the 21st century

Hardly all-American supercars. The Callaway Sledgehammer was what happened when God took a shit in the engine bay of a C4 Corvette, the Viper was just a demonically-possessed go-kart where even midgets had a hard time fitting inside and always maintained knee-based contact with the glovebox before it became a rebadged Ferrari grand tourer. It's almost as if there's no such as thing as pigfat exotica.

>inb4 Saleen

Would've heralded that as the sole true American supercar but apparently even that was just the bastard child of an Aston Martin Group C LMP that the backwoods hicks found in a dumpster and took home instead of leaving to die.

>>13789

>3 yo post

Nevertheless If I had 55k€, I would strongly hesitate between this and a Cayman. The Alpine has a cuter design but a 4 banger… I also wanted a Camaro/Mustang/Challenger… For this amount of money, the Alpine is worth it somehow.

>>14389

>So a rusty old piece of shit should continue rusting away in a shed instead of being given a honorable death in a last burst of glory.

NO. WRONG. Restore it, and drive it on weekends so the children in neighbourhood can see something different.

<inb4 muh every classic car will be preserved or restored with government funds

Nobody stated that. A car CAN become a classic in 30 years, maybe 20 if it is something rare. If there will be no electronic-filled rustbuckets from 2000s left by 2030s, then they will be justremembered as shit cars like they were. The thing about cheap econoboxes is that they tend to get thrashed beyond repair. Few car models from this millenia will be remembered. Those that will be remembered are already legends.

>>14390

>NO. WRONG. Restore it, and drive it on weekends so the children in neighbourhood can see something different.

With what money and what time? If the government don't do it, nobody do it unless you have some magic way that makes everyone rich without ruining the value of money even more.

Step from your ivory tower for once, princess.

>>14390

And then,

>A car CAN become a classic in 30 years

is so vague, the writers of new American gun laws are getting jealous. Unless you put some more thought into your fantasies, any law you would pass would definitely ruin your country in the long run.

>Race an NA Miata in the official Miata races

>get five years in prison

>Crash your car during a historic vehicle rally

>five years Gulag, comrade.

Sounds extremely fun, faggot.

>>13880

its possible and thats common

>>14400

But what would you want to change in your car? Tweak the engine? Do i even need to start geting into why seemingly the same engines have different power outputs?

Yeah maybe changing the music player layout would be nice, but just think of the problems every car dealer will have once they start getting calls from people who looked up guides on internet and now have made their cars from the beautifull cariage to a pumpkin.

>>10073

mind if I butt in about this?

>>10201

Sure, take a seat in the matter.

I need more Kalashnikov

>>10206

I don't know about you guys butt I'm having trouble following along here.

>>14375

Bitch, please.

This thread is from 2015.

I managed to finally get my motorcycle license this summer. Too bad it was late summer and life in the Scandinavia is snow and rain, but I got a little bit of driving done.

My first bike is a used Kawasaki ZX600 from 1999. It's pretty fun.

This thread didn't really help stave off my craving for going out and riding.

>>14348

Northen yuropean too? Sweet. I plan on getting my bike license this winter, so as soon as the snow goes away i can pass the exams and spend the summer on my Minsk. Found an almost functional Minsk under some tent behind a barn. Owner just handed over the documents and said that it has something going on with fuel pump. It was kicking out blue smoke when i tried to start it, did not start though. That smoke looked hopefull though.

I'm going to share this great documentary I found some time ago.

>>14355

Now you made it look like some Aston Martin
