Name one flaw in this truck.
You mean no offroad? no tow power?
>If you look around only 1-5% people use a truck to tow and offroad.
Honda knows it's customers and is doing the perfect thing here. You get the comfort of a crossover, clever engineering(all way open-able truck lid, in-bed storage), etc 99.99% of truck features, fuel economy like no other truck has, etc.
>Protip to my question : You can't.
Odyssey with less seats and a useless truck bed.
gg honda.

Literally everyone I know with a truck uses it for offroad or towing or other actual truck stuff
>>15438714
Yup, it can do reasonable offroading too.

What does it mean if my steering twitches?
I was sat waiting at a set if lights waiting to turn, and I already had about half a turn of lock on. I noticed the wheel was turning itself back and forth about an inch, not fast like a vibration, more like it were trying to massage you.
What can cause this, is it something to worry about? My car also whines quite loud when on full lock.
>>15449237
If your car uses conventional hydraulic steering, you are either getting pressure surge from your power steering pump or there is a defective valve somewhere in the power steering system.
What make/model/year?
>>15449261
Audi A4 2002 quattro, so hydraulic of course.
The first time I noticed the steering moving on its own was today, but the steering has whined ever since I got it a year ago. The diffs also groan when turning the wheel while stationary, I hear this is normal but it's also quite worrying.
VAG trash I guess.

I'm about to buy a sports car. How kys tier is getting an auto? I can drive both but it really doesn't phase me if it's auto+clean+good price
This site is the last place to ask that. Get what you want and what you can afford. If somebody looks down on you for getting an auto, screw em.
Auto is fine. It really depends on the transmission, though. My old SC400 was stock auto and I'd smash people on the frequent.
>>15448438
What sports car, btw?
I want to buy a frame and build a car around it. Has anyone here ever done this? Who sells frames and bodies or what are my options here?
>>15447891
most people go on to their local classifieds to find a frame. or they will scrap the body of an existing vehicle and use the frame from that.
Buy a 03+ panther
VW bug frame + Any kit for it. God Speed
Hey guys, I'm 18 and my mom gave me her 2009 Civic sedan to daily. It's automatic though. My grandfather has a standard shift car that I've started trying to learn on. The first time was pretty bad, but the next time I managed to drive it around the neighborhood but I kept peeling out on this stop at the top of a hill near my house... I couldn't get it smooth without stalling the engine. It's not a good feeling to be rolling backwards...
What should I be doing to learn how to better work the clutch and gas pedals? Should I just drill starting...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Learn when the clutch begins to "grab"; that is, when you feel the car begin to move and the RPMs dip slightly. Once you can get the car moving with only the clutch on flat ground, you're pretty much golden. Hillstarts are the same, but you need to add gas while releasing the clutch. If you feel too intimidated by that, use the handbrake to hold you in place while you get it moving
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT ANON !
>>15447916
This is pretty much what my father said. The problem is that it's quite stressful to have someone behind you and be rolling backwards... That's where I mess up my clutch because my mind is fogged. I really don't want to hit anyone I swear lel
Thanks for the reply dude
Is 9% interest on a used car loan good if my credit score is 815?
Dad is criticizing me and telling me I got trolled but desu I don't know shit and I just hate when I try to be an adult and my dad puts his fat fucking face in the middle of it
9% is way too high if you aren't a poor nigger with shit credit
I know as much as you can expect from some anonymous poster on a chinese cartoon board (which is fucking nothing)
Im pretty sure you fucked up. 815 is at least a good credit score but i from what I gather its excellent. I definitely know though, that 9% is shit. So considering both those, yes you got trolled.

Are there any services out there that spoof insurance so you don't have to pay $100+ a month? All you need is something to bring to the DMV to get tags and maybe the ocassional call-ins from cops that might pull you over.
>paying $100 a month for fake insurance when you can pay $100 a month for real insurance
Real insurers register with the state and provide electronic proof to the state that you have insurance securely. It's also considered fraud against the state government, who can then come after you and put you in prison.
Seriously hoping this thread is bait.
>>15447383
I hope you get rekt by illegal aliens with no insurance
I am extremely close to buying a 2009 Audi S5 v8 for 28k after taxes.
Is this a bad decision? Am I better off buying something else like a brz or even a new honda civic?
Only thing I am worried about is maintenance costs honestly.
>Audi
>V8 Audi
>used V8 Audi
>considering this ever
>>15447237
My friend got a higher end used audi and got raped by maintenance costs. I don't know how much he oaid, and he usually tells me so it makes me think it's way too much. Got it because his gf wanted an audi though
>Audi
Rally-bred inline 5 or bust.
