Dear /o/,
I drive a 2008 Chevy Impala ls. I want to upgrade my current headlights to something more effective. I am running HID bulbs and ballasts but they seem to only offer slightly better vision at night then my old bulbs at the cost of reliability for I seem to have to replace either a bulb or ballast at least once a year. My headlight housing is in need to replacement if I want to do anything that is not my HID bulbs.
I am currently using my HID's without dedicated projectors and instead being just the typical Impala housings.
Does /o/ have any suggestions...

yuropoor here
is an 80's volvo just as comfy as an 80's american landbarge?
classic american cars are really expensive where i am at
what if you add a ligher suspension to it and swap the shocks?
PLS halp
>shocks
for maximum burger-tier comfy your shocks should have broken and rusted away about 20 years ago.
>posts picture of japanese cars
80s Volvos are comfy, but don't ever expect ancient land yacht cadillac type of comfort

Why, was it a joint venture with Fiat?
I'm in the market for a new DD. Convince me not to buy a Chebby Volt.
Just get a Prius or something
>>14158012
Maybe you should convince us why you want it.

Post YFW gas goes below a dollar a gallon in non-shit places.
the saudi arabians are absolutly freaking out because they were recently allowed to start selling oil to us markets and now with the overage they are inflating their own prices because they are a bunch of filthy kikes
buy e85 instead

Eufags, how do people handle driving on the autobahn when their car is old, small, shit or any combination of those? Even trucks seem to drive flat stick.
Old does not mean slow. Neither does small.
Minimum speed for autobahn travel is 61kph. You drive according to your car's state or ability. There aren't really any cars that go slower than 100kph (all trucks are limited to this), though, while 130 is the general flow.
Barely anyone is stupid enough to go on it with a slower car. Very rarely you see a scooter or someshit. We've got a handful of modified karts running with license plates here. That's about it.
what does "to drive flat stick" mean?
>>14156809
Oh and Germany-surrounding coutries' autobahns are mostly restricted to either 130 or 120. So is...the majority, I think by now, of our autobahn.
Autonazi countries Switzerland and Austria set aside.
why does everyone hate fiat?
these things are cheap and simple, no need to be rude

I have a panda. Its a tiny workhorse that takes abuse willingly.
fuck off yellow Punto anon
Why doesn't Fiat bring the Panda to North America, instead of the stupid 500X or whatever it's called?!?
"The plot of Night Rider Turbo is simple: “Badass bought a shitty car. Everything falls apart. How far can you drive?” Predictably, the answer is “not very.”
The free browser game, which heralds from the alluringly silly (and sometimes a bit juvenile) mind of McPixel creator Sos Sosowski, is basically Surgeon Simulator 2013 if it were a driving game."

i promise you will have a good laugh when you realize what is happening.
i made it to 2km..
you can press the accelerator pedal to go faster.
I don't get it made it to 1.5km without even knowing how to steer. what's the joke
Has anyone else put LED dome/map lights in their vehicles?
>I did, pic related
>really nice
>sometimes too bright though
I dunno if I like it, I mean it looks like they really light up the place but it doesn't have that comfy soft light feel.
I did. I like how bright they are, but I really don't understand why warm white LEDs don't seem to exist. It would be a lot more pleasant
I used red LEDs in my dome lights. It looks nice at night - not hard on your eyes at all
it seems the Bayerische Motoren Werke will mark its 100th anniversary this year right?

Ferd. Slightly more visibility and better interior that isn't screens on every surface.
>tfw wheelbase of 103.2 inches
Anyone else here have /toobig/ feels?

>101.1″ wheelbase

>193.8 in overall length
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE. Where does it all go
>i guess dat ass
How do I git gud?
How do I learn to "see" the line and pick the best one
How do I git gud at braking and weight transfer
It kinda feels like I'm just winging it whenever I go for spirited driving
>>14155235
Step 1 buy racing kart
Step 2 go practice and follow fast guys
Step maybe 3 consider taking a performance driving course
Step 4 practice more
Step 5 start racing
>>14155235
buy aftermarket air vent cupholder
fill a Styrofoam cup to the brim with water
never let it spill while you drive
>>14155246
This is pretty spot on.
Karting is truly the best way to improve.
You could probably just rent a car at your local circuit
practice in gran turismo
watch intial D
Do you text and drive? Be honest
Do you think it makes you a shitty driver?

just recently started.
Texting and driving is for literal retards.
>>14154903
When I'm stopped at lights n shit, yeah. No it doesn't make me a worse driver I put it away while I'm moving.

Man, if that guy in iD had these he wouldn't have lost to rak tak
>155HP
If minivans are faster than the BRZ, then they would definitely be faster than the MIata.
