Why is Porsche so ridiculously based?
Ferrari is just loud shit. The P1 is absolutely fantastic but to be able to beat the Porsche (by the tiniest bit) they have to put it into racing mode which is not street legal!
Note that all these cars were on the same kind of tires and driven on the same day by the same driver.
It is just incredibly how good Porsche engineers are! The 918 is the heaviest out of the three and the most "tricked" out and without a doubt the most comfortable and DD-able but still can't be beaten except if you apply non-street-legal methods. Amazing!
>Ferrari is just loud shit.
I have to take that back a bit btw. The V12 sound is just pure porn! The P1 does look the best. I love all three of these but the Porsche blows my mind!

Why is the Testarossa the most 80s car?
>>15178180

>>15178180

>Because Miami Vice was the most 80s show
Pretty much.
I missed a few spots with my clay bar then polished most of my car already. If I clay bar again will I have to re polish
>pic related
Also any clay bar suggestions? Either it takes a long fucking time or I've been doing it wrong for years. More lube? Less lube?
I wouldn't bother, do it better the next time. More lube the better and it is a longer process.
>>15195351
The damage is already done.
Leave it alone for next time.

Yes

Fuck the UKs speed bumps. One more reason to move to Murica
Lol there's a reason people drive trucks north of Delaware, winter potholes are fucked up here too

no where in america has good roads except florida and the southwest.
>>15181266
It really depebds on where you are. Most people are only able to compare roads that are within 100 miles. Im from south eastern pennsylvania and the roads here are shit. New jersey has top qaulity infrastructural design but average roads. Maryland has great roads but infrastructure is mid to low average. West virginia has suprisingly good main roads and highways but everything else is shit.
Anyone know what the hell is happening here? Pic not related.

In terms of shit oil filters how shit is fram?
>>15184684
Supposedly pretty bad. I've never had an engine die from using Fram filters though so who really knows?
>>15184717
Well damn, I needed to change my oil real quick because I won't get another opportunity any time soon, so hopefully the motherfucker holds up
>>15184726
My dad has used them for years without any problems, you'll be fine.
Friendly reminder that you probably have the same power steering fluid and ATF in your car as when it rolled off the factory floor 12 years ago.
Change it.
>>15189810
I own six vehicles and none of them have a drop of ATF.
>>15189810
>ATF
I drive manual faggot.
>power steering
Sealed electric assisted rack and pinion steering. Won't need changing for awhile
>>15189810
My car is 12 years old, but that's the only thing accurate about it. I personally changed the transmission fluid, and it has electronic power steering.
Are these gud cars?

No.

Does that mean it isn't FWD?
Straight cut gearbox on a road car? Good idea or bad?
>>15190386
You can't shift anyway

What's /o/'s opinion on civics? Post yours if you have one
Civics are more enthusiast than any post RWD corolla or tercel or paseo
. Eat my ass Toyota fags
>>15189435
Drove two Civics over the past 11 or so years
>94 LX sedan (MT)
>01 LX sedan (MT)
Other than bulletproof reliability and manual transmission, I fucking hated driving those boring cars. Finally upgraded to a Lexus back in April. Good riddance!

Just saw this commercial in german TV and im blown away by it.
This is the english spot for our english speaking friends:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yB8tgVqmKzw
are there any other really, really good car commercials around today?
all i ever see is bullshit about bluetooth radio and a bunch of liberal leftist "refugees welcome" fuckers sitting in a tiny ass shitbox and driving through the city while giggling as if they are being fucked up the ass by a midget.
I liked the toyota next commercials (there's three of them)

I'm not gonna lie I likes this one for the a8

Trying to decide if I want to buy the older 4.2 V8 or wait for the supercharged V6 to drop in price. Here's what I've gathered from various Audi boards:
4.2 V8:
>PROS
- Sounds amazing
- Higher top end
>CONS
- Fuel economy
- Carbon build-up issues
- Increased power is hard to come by
3.0 V6:
>PROS
- Better power down low
- Less weight
- Fuel economy
- Great tuning potential with simple mods
>CONS
-...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
I also spoke with an Audi mechanic at a party and he says the V8 has more problems. Not sure how accurate this is.
you forgot
>CONS
- Relablity on both
- maintenance
- Literally VW car
Youre paying for a superbly overpriced vw car. And thats no joke. If you know where and how, you can get the exact same parts for up to 5 times less money
It's a V8 Jetta, go find something more interesting
