Just bought a 1999 Subaru legacy B4
Loving it so far. But I can't find out what this weird button does and I don't speak sushi. What's this button under the wiper/boost meter?

You're probably right. Too bad I'm 4000km away from my car right now. Good idea though anon

More than likely hazard lights...
In regards to non light bar style lights.
Instead of using 2-4 of the same light at $50-100 each why not spend the money on one good light?
I'm unaware of a developed country where an uneven number of headlights isn't illegal.
>>14902916
>uneven number of headlights isn't illegal
I'll look into this. Why does it matter if they are auxiliary lights used in addition with the headlights?
>>14902916
They are not headlights, they are auxiliary offroad lights
external wastegate vs internal?
Wh/o/ here runs an external dump, in real life how awesome or not awesome do they sound, and is it a good sound or like putting No2 on a lawnmower (this would be for a 4B11t)
Illegal is kangarooland

serial?
why?
>>14902659
I personally think they sound awesome.

What's an economic, safe car that's under 20 grand? Looking to get something for my wife's son.

Ok the off chance that you actually want car advice and arr just meming for laughs instead of just meming, I'm going to give you four options: Civic, Accord, Corolla, or Camry. They are all god tier commuters.
>>14902618
Your wifes son deserves only the best, a mercedes perhaps?
"Stanced" cars are merely show cars, not race cars. It would be like trying to race in pic related, which very well may be the source of "stance".
They have the same defining creed, even. Sure, to certain people it looks nice, and theres a following, but it's hardly practical.
Is "stanced" the same thing as slammed?
Because they sure look fucking stoopit.
>>14902603
Basically. There's no set definition, but you know it when you see it.
If you had a gf, would you let her drive your car?
Why or why not?
Would depend entirely on her driving record
No.
I taught my first gf how to ride stick, in both senses.
I did it because my mother told me the story about how my father gave her driving lessons back in the day and that she thought it was pretty cool/cute of him.
It's a nice way to create some lasting impression (if done right) plus after that she learned well and so I wasn't afraid of letting her drive if I got drunk (she didn't drink).
Now that I'm older and not with her, it depends on the girl. I absolutely refused to be on the passenger seat with one who used her left foot for braking.
Will it oversteer/understeer?
Why do you hate EPS?
Does taking the powersteering pumps parasidic loss off show any REAL beneift?
>>14902210
There are three options in the automotive word that drive every decision: it saves the manufacturer money, it improves fuel consumption, or it does both.
There is no steering feel

Hey everyone,
So I have my heart set on a jeep Wrangler. (A distant 2nd is the trailhawk renegade)This is my first time buying a car myself, so I have some questions.
1. I have my heart set set set on a Green, Orange, or Blue Jeep Wrangler. It just so happens that I hear that "Hyper Green" will be available this year! I go to the Jeep website though, and I see nothing about it for the 2016 models? I know it's supposed to be available a bit later in the year, but shouldn't they have it available to order? If not, when do the later year models...

I drive my Rubicon daily. Its an awesome vehicle. Its fun to drive even if you arent into off roading. Go to jk forum and find the price thread. It will tell you what people are paying.
keep in mind the jeep is getting completely redesigned this year. It would be wise to wait for the new model
enjoy it
>>14902055
Yea I heard about the redesign... My issue is that as a software dev, I'm always very very leery about first year or first releases of anything. I'd like to wait a few to see their problems hashed out. In fact the current JK model was HORRIBLE in it's first 2 to 3 years of release.

Who knows what it went through before you.
Since the late 90S , honda has had average tier reliability. The reliability meme is from cars earlier then that time period , the king in that department will always be Toyota.
Fuck 'em ALL!
>>14901841
Finally someone has the balls to talk about this. Audifags are lower than dirt. They are all uncivilized animals.
My buddy lives for his Audi and would never follow that close.
Like 1 in 5 cars in my area are Audis and BMWs
I don't get the meme that they're bad drivers
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT
Some old cunt reversed straight into me from a parking space while I was waiting for traffic to clear in a car park.
He admitted fault but my fucking shitty insurance company wants to write off the car for the sake of a dented door.
Fuck everything, fuck old people who shouldn't be behind the wheel and fuck insurance companies.
>My jimmies are indeed rustled.
that's what you get for owning an italian car
>>14901545
By write it off, you mean total it out right?
If so accept the money, buy the car back cheap with a salvage title, buy a junkyard door and pocket the cash
>>14901602

I have the chance to buy a Datsun 280Zx with 138000km (8600m) for $11,500(CAN).
I have wanted one of these for a long time and know the pros and cons, and in a way it is my dream car at the moment.
I am just looking for an opinion before I push the button. Should I do it?
>>14900792
>$11,500
Is it made out of gold?
Anything more than 4k for a zx. .. just no
>>14900803
I'd only pay that much if it were a BLACK GOLD Edition and was mint
when ev cars are in. why modify or change oil?
welcome tesla
speak english next time
anyway, it'll end up being largely about suspension mods, tuning (through software) and more extreme jobs will involve motor swaps with adapter plates or upgrading motors with different performance bits
welcome future
(no)

ITALIAN VS GERMAN CARS
who wins?
>>14900439
At what?
my wifes son prefers german
>>14900439
what is a "german car" is the car and all its parts produced in germany? in australia I think we went down to only producing steering wheels in australia and now not even producing steering wheels. because as we all know, the feel of the steering wheel is critical to car performance.
