It was only to show how low the USA got regarding small cars.

>the demographic small cars were intended for have moved on to ridesharing and public transportation

blatant lie.

>Most cities that compact cars thrived in now pass regulations to disincentivise car ownership

<big cities means lots of people

<lots of people means potentially lots of cars

<lots of cars means traffic hell and no available parking spaces

>people are not having cars in big cities anymore!

I can't help you if you can't comprehend how inadapted individual cars are in large cities.

It's not about compact cars: see New York. It's about crowded space. And you know what? Crowded spaces means that buying a smaller car to park faster. Your cause/consequence rethoric is broken here. It's not because a city have smaller cars that they wants cars out: it's because there's too many cars.

<Because of the "arms race" phenomenon with increasing SUV market share, it's borderline suicidal to drive anything smaller than a crossover in the United States.

You're going completely away from the rest of your paragraph but you're right: big cars kill smaller cars. Litterally. Hopefully this doesn't happen too much in Europe (it does, but buyers would rather buy cars looking like a SUV (crossovers) than real SUVs.).

Don't worry, SUVs won't become a mainstream thing in Europe for a good while. They are too big for some cities, parking space is meant for mid-sized sedan/wagon, not something so wide you can't open doors without denting anything, and if the buyer is not going to haul around trailers or crap like that everyday, sanity wins and another wagon sale is made. Or a sedan if the buyer does not care about practicality at all.

Small cars in the US will never go away, just ecause they are pure joy to drive. That's enough to attract SOME cutomers to some super-cheap novelty brand that gets bought by Chinks 10 years later. What's the US eqivalent of Dacia? Is anyone over there even making small, cheap sedans anymore? Dacias might not be reliable, but with a car so cheap, you can buy a new one every 8-10 years.

I think anon is wondering about a mass-produced affordable Ferrari. I think the Alfa Romeo 4C does quite well, but at least in the US anyone who buys a new Ferrari is buying it to brag about being rich, not for actual driving so I doubt it'd sell enough to justify its existence.

Fighter jets are pretty cool, but even the oldest ones millions of dollars in 2018. So what would be the automotive equivalents to these jets?

F-14 Tomcat: Long-range, very powerful and fast hangar queen with active variable geometry (kinda like active aero).

F/A-18: Can do pretty much anything, light and maneuverable. Pretty reliable, but frankly terrible range and limited speed are some of it's issues.

F-4: Quite old (60s and 70s) but good for it's time. Reliable and quick, with a few peculiarities specific to it's airframe.

Can't believe there's no tribute thread for this guy yet, especially when there was one for that sleazebag Marchionne. Without him, tuner culture would just about not exist, or at least exist in a far reduced capacity.

>One of the powerhouses of Japan’s tuning world has passed. It was announced yesterday that Junichi Tanaka, founder of Jun Auto Mechanic, died the morning of March 5, 2019 due to complications from cancer. He was 76 years old. The firm was one of Japan’s most prolific tuning houses, the proof of which were the numerous world speed records held by the bright yellow cars that emerged from its walls.

Firstly, it depends on how car-literate you are. I'm presuming you at least know how to drive and do an oil change. If you're not confident with working on your own car for the time being, you should try disassembling and reassembling something much less complex and integral to your daily life (i.e. a computer or a lawnmower) until you get the hang of things.

Any country where Toyota operates its own subsidiary (Japan ofc, US, Australia) is a country where their reliability and dependability is doubly ensured, so you should definitely opt for them if you want something from during the Aussie malaise period (approx. Falcon XD - XH) that won't give you much trouble.

I have no idea what things are like in your neck of the woods, but if you're just starting out, I'd recommend some sad old piece of shit with as few computers as possible. Electronic engine control can seem like black magic if you don't know what you're doing, and an older electronic system would invite the possibility of shit like obscure sensor XYZ breaking and giving you headaches trying to track it down. A carbureted engine has a lot less shit to break and really only needs one wire to run. Plus, when you go to tune it, you're actually swapping out and adjusting physical parts rather than typing in values on a table, which makes it much easier to conceptualize the changes you're making and understand how your adjustments are affecting how it runs.

You can't really get more FOSS than a mechanical system, but as for an actual electronic system, there's one that I know of and that's Megasquirt.

The UK's alaways been an exception in the EU. Your buyers act differently. But I can also tell you that some Belgian and Netherdland buyers also had the Camry, but it sold so few it, like you said, was replaced by the Avensis (which still sells like shit but less).

My point was that finding a Camry in the EU was horribly hard and you'd have to drive 500 kms for one and if y ou don't know how to repair your cars, for this one it's kaput since your regular Toyota machanic has probably never seen one.

Not gearboxes, because physical disability should not necessarily be an obstacle to driving. Pointless to anyone with the normal amount of functional limbs though…

And rain-sensing wipers are good. If they could also automatically turn off the foglights they'd be great. *hits blunt* if wipers on every car could turn off the foglights automatically, that would be awesome.

Automatic headlights? Can you not see how dark it is, or can you not see?

f you need assistance that much, why not just get the bus?

Shit like 'lane assist' or 'self parking' is only necessary if you have fuck all, or close to fuck all hand - eye coordination, spacial awareness and overall ability, in which case you should be on the variety club minibus sharing window spit.

We're becoming too reliant on technology imo, and that will make us lazy and inattentive. When facing oncoming vehicle on a 60mph country road, I want that driver to be as awake and aware and in control as I am.

Oh dude you just tell them they're like crazy future supercars for the masses, and then just pluck the stereo out of the smouldering wreckage embedded in a tree.

The biggest problem with automatic is that retards have less things to keep them busy on the road, and that most automatics aren't fun to drive.

Okay so I have this personal problem.

Normally, each car has a set of colors that fit on it right? For example silver Mercedes' or a blue Impreza among the most obvious ones.

But I can't for the life of me visualize the colors that fit the most on american cars. They all just look out of place, idk.

Even colors like black or white, cause the old ones especially are huge barges where there's a lot of surface for the color to cover and it ends up looking like "too much color" (I know this sounds stupid).

Dunno if this is just because I'm european or what but I would hope if american car enthusiasts would show me burgerbarges with good looking and fitting paintjobs.

It looks mostly okay but I have a hard time thinking "Yeah, this color fits this car". It's just that this car is white.

Mostly cause many other colors could look exactly as good on it as white, but never as good as something like white on a Mitsubishi.

That looks pretty good. Any flat colour plus chrome looks ok.

Deep/dark blues and reds always look the best on them in my opinion. Any color looks good on them though. Chrysler could get away with neon green, pink, purple,and orange.

Are racing liveries the least cringy form of graphic modifications?

How cringy is it to see a car with pretend racing livery on the road compared to a car fast and furious'd the fuck up?

Also livery thread, post your TOM's Supras and such. Video game nerds also welcome.

I dunno, the Marlboro font looks classy, certainly more than the McClaren font.

>sponsors do their best to make the liveries beautiful to appeal to the widest public,

True. I liked it, even though I wasn't their target audience.

The second picture was from a BMJ report stating that even without the writing it was still considered to be advertising a tobacco product.

Haven't watched F1 for decades, so no idea what current McLaren's look like.

>>17701

Not disagreeing, but… I think McLaren's logo was designed to be 'dynamic', to appear fast even when stationary.

New 'dark selling' regulations mean that cigarettes are all packaged in shitty brown with the same arial font. So glad they're not sponsoring motorsport now…

it's not because they can't put their brand on their product that their logo is dead.

Also only a small fraction of countries enacted that law.

That's just the serifs. You could achieve the same look if you just wrote McLaren in Times New Roman.

Movie about a Škoda that is fueled by blood, through the accelerator pedal.

Škoda in question was a very cool early 70's sports prototype that never went into production because communist economy, the Škoda Super Sport 110. Probably the only sporty car that Škoda developed other than the 130RS, R5 and other competition models.

Since this is an obscure socialist czechoslovak movie, I'll link the movie and subs here, cause it would be annoying to try and find. It's mediocre. That's what kino means, no?

This one's called "The Wraith", similar concept in that the star car of the movie is a prototype that never went into production (or maybe wasn't intended to, I don't remember).

The car in question is the Dodge M4S Turbo Interceptor.

The movie also stars Charlie Sheen lol

No link this time, since you can find a torrent easily.
