What trends do you expect for the future of automotive design?
I want to believe complex headlight shapes and chrome trimmed windows will be the norm throughout the next decades, but you never know.

How many headlights does a truck need?
GM got the 'tard from testosterone overdose
>>14002947
Ah yes.
Why do people call it the "gas" pedal. Shouldn't it be called the "air" pedal?
>>14002765
that's a throttle body, not a pedal
>>14002779
Well yes, but when you press down on the air pedal, what happens to the throttle body?
On carbureted cars it has control of the gas too. You pumped it before starting to engage choke and to prime.
True?
Girls room and guys car master race.

No.
I've had multiple grill roommates and they were all filthy as fuck.
I don't understand how people are able to live with shit all over the floor and the cabin of your car cluttered
Hey /o, I've been wanting to learn manual for a couple of months but both my parents own auto's so i started saving my earnings for a car and its come to the point of buying one. I've had my heart set on a mazda mx5 Na for a couple of years (before i got my learners permit). So i found a nice clean one and asked my parents if i could buy it, they said yes at first but insist that i spend money on a throw away car to learn on first so i dont trash a miatas gearbox (asking them to buy the car is definitely a big no) but at 18 i dont see how i could throwaway a weeks...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Well, when i was 18 i bought a Miata for $1k as a car to learn stick on... I don't see why you couldn't do the same it's a good car to learn on.
Its all in the pedals
>>14002247
You can learn manual in a good car, no problem. Worst case scenario you burn up the clutch, but you'd have to be full retarded to do that. Your gearbox will be totally fine.
Anyone else an Automatic enthusiast? I enjoy driving different auto boxes and figuring out their tendencies and nuances. There's gotta be other people like me. Also all autos welcome

Any deviation among automatics is probably just caused by shitty design or it being almost broken.
Not the kind of thing worth being enthusiastic about, but you already know that.
Of course.
Automatic transmissions are more enjoyable to drive because they let you focus on the thrill of driving and the road ahead instead of focusing on operating the clutch and shifting gears. On public roads you should focus on the road with both hands on the wheel. Not steering with one hand wondering what gear your in or what rpm to switch to.
>I enjoy driving different auto boxes
You're not driving anything, you're steering
>MFW 8 cylinder engines on anything that isn't a truck
Which V8 passenger car did you have a bad experience in?
>mfw people own anything with four wheels and fewer than eight cylinders
>>14001489
there is no need for a V8 in certain cars all it does is
>makes more nigger noises
>more carbon emission
>waste more gas
>harder to smog check

I sold a car told after winding back the miles by 100,000. How bad should I feel?
You should feel like a felon.
You should probably kill yourself.

I'm bored and legitimately interested in the sentiment of "hurr durr /o/ is full of poorfags that's why they hate my car." Remember you're anonymous, don't be faggots and lie.

OP here, forgot to mention; if you have multiple cars just combine the values.
I ain't clicking that

Looking like that's ringing true
Will there ever again be a THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN seating layout as found in this, the absolute apex of a driver's car?
Why is this not more of a thing
driver in the center and if it has more seats
there are 3 or 4 seats behind the driver
>>13999159
Because normalfags just don't understand driving.
It should be popular for 2+2 sports cars. The rear seats are useless anyways, if you had three usable seats + more balanced driving it would be badass. Normalfags wouldn't like it though because they are dumb normal fags.
Or if automakers were actually smart they would do a design like pic related. Allows for 1 full seat in the back, but still has the gay normalshit seating in the front for dumb normies

Hey /o/,
I'm in the market for a luxury SUV for my wife and kids. I'm looking at the Cadillac Escalade.
What's the opinion about this car? I'm also white but race association isn't a problem with the new Escalades. I'm just wanting something that's maximum comfort when driving.
If you have any alternatives please let me know but the vehicle Gross weight must be above 6,000lbs (tax purposes) and luxury.
BTW I get $25,000 off any SUV that has a vehicle weight exceeding 6000lbs
>getting paid to use more gas
Why does our government want to deplete our natural resources so quickly? Surly we should focus on inner-planetary travel before so willingly draining our own at the very least..
>>13997427
Check out oil prices m8. Been steadily dropping due to the high amount of reserves we have. Add Iran to the mix and you've got cheaper gas coming

It ain't going to last forever
about 100 years tops at this rate
