>the fiat 500

You can do some gearbox magic to get it to a decent speed, but you'll need to hone your driving skills to get around turns while maintaining as much speed as you can, you have to play slightly differently with that one. But if the 500 is still not enough get the classic Mini, you can make it fast enough to go below 8 minutes on the Bürgerking.

>>15224

Isn't it just a better version of 5.

>>17045

Clearly shopped.

unless the 240 is actually a cleverly disguised bomb made by muslim extremists living in Sweden nearly 30 years ago

>>17046

Don't you know volvos are just transformers anon?

>>17046

Is it shopped or just aftermarket?

>>17498

He removed the overdrive

>>17497

I wouldn't pay that much for those kinds of miles. I'm used to paying 800 or less for 150k-170k

>>17418

>massaging seats

this is infuriating and I wanna blow up the seats that have that mode. Same goes for heated/cooled seats but that's because I don't live in Siberia.

>>17482

the Crown is just OK-Lexus luxury. The Century though… That's real top-tier luxury. If they ever sell these outside Japan, they'd be Lexus though.

>>17488

You don't. Learn to drive RHD, it´s not so bad.

>>17404

he's a baltic poster, he doesn't have the same standards.

>>17464

What years for maximum comfort?

I would sleep in my jeep during finals week, but it's easy mode when you go to uni. parking garages are patrolled by mall cops, plenty of food on campus, go the the uni gym for showers. some buildings would be open 24/7 so always had a bathroom etc.

>>17424

This is giving me some "tiny house" vibes,

>>12863

This, was homeless for like 3 months

>car was a 1995 Volvo 850 station wagon

>could sleep comfortably with all the seats down

>stored clothing and valuables in the spare compartment

>everything else wherever it fit

>showered and all that at my gym while still getting /fit/

>ate whatever the managers special was at my local grocery store (usually pretty good deals on subs and burritos) most of the time

Kind of a shitty situation but once you get into a routine it’s not all that bad, really only after work. Find somewhere to route your mail if you can.

Fam we got 250 collections and only like 70 or so were pure remixes. There’s enough eurobeat out there for decades of listening. Who knows, they might just start a new line of SEB collections or something. The label might be replaced with a new one that keeps Eurobeat going. Don’t worry about it baby.

>>16779

I know it's not the end of eurobeat, but it sure is an end of an era.

There's approximately 1000 or so actual good tracks total out of all the SEB ones.

While that doesn't sound like a small amount, that's like 4 days worth of constant listening, if you didn't sleep.

Not to mentioned SEB started sucking towards the end, which means new eurobeat isn't going to be as good as old bangers like Save Me, or Love & Money.

I think the decline started sometime 10 years ago.

>>16779

>Who knows, they might just start a new line of SEB collections or something.

More to be revealed next month.

[spoiler]SUPER EUROBEAT VOL. 250 contains the following non-stop mixes:

>100 songs hand-picked by Max Matsuura

>100 songs hand-picked by someone else as a history mix from 1990-now

>50 Japanese covers throughout the years (inb4 no Fairies/D&D/dream)[/spoiler]

>>17336

You can already take the fuel pump relay out of most any car though, they fit in your pocket

>>17338

Yeah, but those rewired ones are in plain view, it's way quicker than having to wiggle one out between the other million fuses in the fuse box.

>Push to start standardized

No, actually. They're doing something much worse; trying to standardize smartphone-start ignition.

>Family's been dealer surfing for a while

>We try out a Hyundai

>No push-start or keyhole

>Huh?

>Requires a phone app to start.

>What the fuck? Smartphones are the new windows in terms of computer security, this shit is basically adding a gaping hole to an already leaky bucket!

<"Well, that's how it's gonna be, anon. That's what the dealer says."

>ford is another company that's pushing this bullshit.

It burns me that half the marketing ploys of technology today is "stuff a computer with outsourced firmware into this thing, and call it the next best thing since silicon wafers".

>>17405

Doesn't matter; more for the scrapheap for when their planned obsolescence runs its course. Driver's cars will be coming back sooner or later. 2030 at the latest, when everyone starts building exclusively electric that almost no-one will buy.

Alphanumerics. A name is more personal imo.

Depends. On one hand you have the Corvette, Mustang and Viper, and on the other you have the F40, 911 and RX-7. I'm pretty sure no-one would argue that the latter three would be any more iconic with a name.

>>17387

I have to disagree. The RX-7 isn't so famous among the layman and I believe some of that inferiority comes from it´s bland name. Same goes for the 911 and F40: if you don't say beforehand that it's either a Porsche or a Ferrari, most laymen would look at you wondering what you meant.

On the other hand, if you say "Corvette" or "Alpine" to some lost kid he'll know what you mean.

>>17172

i want an Ftype with v6/manual so bad. few years they should be cheap, i hope. basically poor mans aston

>>17097

Not him, but that's mandatory in Europe so maybe it's kind of a reflex for us.

>>16333

>Drive

>Someone tailgates me

>Not getting mad today.jpg

>Pull over to let them pass

>Continue driving

I don't believe in needless escalation.

>>17116

Reasonable man. Retards don't deserve attention - let them be retards somewhere else.

I really really really like this image!

Any good way to put a bike on the back of a Jeep or a hitch but not a trailer?

>>16948

Remove the wheels.

>"yearly" bike thread

>up for 3 years

jesus christ

>>17286

welcome to 8chan

>>17055

Pop up headlights were killed by aerodynamics.

>>16930

Fuck that Beetle and it's front bumper. The whole front body is one panel from wheel arch to wheel arch and it's a pain in the ass to remove, and get back on properly.

>>16921

Drove somewhere and couldnt help but notice it on every car after seeing this. Even the audi. I dont like it.

>>17288

ikr? I'm blinded by all new regular cars now.

>>17260

yeah I just decided to check it out with all the shit going on 4 and this place is fucking terrible have fun with the edgelord circlejerk bus rider association guys

>>17255

>being this much of a sperg

finally some activity and you want to have a fit about it, maybe instead of being a grumpy fuck you should actually try discussing and posting cars.

>>17267

>edgelord

Why do plebitors come on imageboards and use this word without irony?

>>17275

More traffic doesn't equal better discussion. There's more people coming into Europe, too, and you see how well that's going.

I also posted that when I was pretty damn drunk.

As any true /o/tist should In my car, where I feel safest of all

Well, before I could walk, I had a wrench in my hand

I was my Mama's little angel and my Daddy's second chance

He went end over end the first year he went pro

And he lost part of his eyesight, so he couldn't race no more

But he never lost his touch when he got underneath the hood

He knew how to make them run and he knew one day he would

See his name in victory lane and engraved on that cup

Just like all them other crazy fools with racing in their blood

He would put me on his lap when he'd drive and I'd take the wheel

He'd say "What do you think about that son? How does she feel?

You just wait till them little legs get long enough to reach the gas

Once you put her on the floor one time there ain't no turning back"

Every Saturday, he'd take me out to the garage

He'd take an empty bucket and fill it full of engine parts

He's sit me down and pour em out in front of me on the floor

I'd have to tell him what each one was and what each one was for

We'd jump in his old car and go down to the race that night

He'd tell me what each driver was doing wrong and what each one did right

He could always pick the winner before they ever took a curve

#3 might have the car but 43 has got the nerve

But before I turned 18, Daddy said "Now pretty soon

You'll be old enough to race but I'll leave it up to you

I taught you all about it, taught you everything I know

You gotta have a car to do it and you gotta work and buy your own"

The first one I bought was a Mustang #2

Nobody kept 'em any longer than they kept a pair of shoes

Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

And my old truck

She was new about a year ago

Yeah, she's lived an old truck's lifetime, carryin' me down the road

When I turn that engine over, she's ready and willin' to go

My old truck

She was new about a year ago

CAD and 3D printing. No, really. That shit will revolutionize the restoration market by offering 99% accurate parts at a cheap price and immediate/ready availability. I've already seen small parts such as hubcaps and rear nameplates casted brand new for when the cars in question got too rare to source a replacement for, and when the technology improves we'll probably see more significant parts.

>>17066

I doubt the technology will evolve beyond the practical point that it is in right now, and there is a small amount of parts you can replace with 3D printed ones.

Hubcaps, nameplates, light housings maybe.

Maybe even grills for some cars.

But anything that's part of the motor? Maybe individual components.

>>17066

You can't 3d print a forged piston.

>>17066

3D printing a shit for anything other than prototyping. Terrible tensile strength compared to ABS plastic or fiberglass reinforced plastic.

>>17049

Mechanic here (industrial tho). Most stuff you can learn from books and videos and trying for yourself. Biggest hurdle is imho the tools. Access to good tools and machinery is the key and that stuff is expensive.
