Should I drive with my grandma from Manteca to San Jose on thanksgiving? She already sometimes drifts into the wrong lane and curbs it randomly in broad daylight, and we're supposed to drive there and then back the same night in the dark and probably rain. I'm just kinda writing this as a last testament to show I never thought it was a good idea
Why don't you make yourself useful for a change and do the driving?

>letting granny drive on 580
You must hate your grandma.
Why the fuck don't you drive?
Let's see some classic shit
How do I remove this pinched hub bolt? I've already tried the smallest flathead screwdriver I could find and Ive tried using a pick tool and ive used the hammer technique to unbend it but nothing works. Help
Just crank the nut off, it'll unbend itself. You are supposed to replace that nut.
Rattle it off with an impact, or twist it off with a big breaker bar. It won't hurt anything.

What /o/ thinks of the 2016 Mazda CX-9?
Post the funniest moments in Television in which car culture is referenced.
I think this takes the cake hands down.

you must be 18 or older to use 4chan OP.
>>13892454
yeah OP, wat?
Ask someone who just traded in his 2005 Mazdaspeed MX-5 Miata M/T for a 2016 Mazda 6 A/T anything
>>13892150
I'm OK with this.
>>13892150
Why not another Miata?
Did you actually ever own a MT Miata or are you just one of those "manual 2 hard in trafic :(" idiots making up stories and are now just looking for validation from fat busriders online?

After I got a motorcycle I kinda lost a need for a fun car, because I guess nothing in reasonable price won't get me such primal feel as riding motorcycle.
dat fucking hot metal and oil feel and smell
now i feel all i want is a reliable dd, not some crx or mr2
it's an abstract kind of feel ;_;
how to live?
>>13891967
buy wagon so you can store the bike + yourself in it and live on the rode senpai
>>13891967
you enjoy riding that old piece of shit?
buy a fucking used gixxer 1k and then you will truely experience what its like to ride a proper bike
>>13891967
Makes sense. Two wheels is fun, and you can get way more power-weight ratio out of a bike than a car.
What went so right?
>>13891957
It gives no fucks.
not much, the viper, especially the acr, was always a good car. but you guys are overhyping it a lot right now.

First time posting here
What does /o/ think about buying a car vs leasing? I am at the corssroads right now
>>13891836
4chan isn't the place to ask, too much poorfag mentality
Buy new or used honestly. Lease only when you work for a company that will pay for the car or you're in an executive position and cannot roll places in a car older than the girl you raped the day before. Buy new if you want the satisfaction of being able to rely on a warranty. Buy used if you know how to play people or find good deals on cars worth a shit.

Why not just google the shop name?
It's official br/o/s, Porsche had done it again.
FERRARI AND MCLAREN FANBOYS BTFO
Isn't that like such a minuscule difference that it doesn't even matter? I'm not sure why anyone would be mad that their favorite car is 0.02 seconds slower than the next.
does anyone actually give a shit about supercar lap times
it's not like you'll be able to own one, and if you do, it'll end up being a garage queen anyway
918 is fastest in drag as well, followed by Bugatti, then P1, LaFerrari, and Huayra.
>Pic related, the only part of the 918 the others will ever see.
Can anyone explain to me the threshold for diesel engines struggling to start in the cold and how to work with it?
I'm thinking about getting a used pickup truck, and I like the benefits of diesel (efficiency, longevity, torque, the smell and sound), but I'm not sure if it's viable for me.
I live in the northern USA, close to the Canadian border, so it gets cold where I am. Also, I have to park in a parking lot at night for most of the year, so I don't have access to an external power supply like a wall outlet.
Should I just stop considering it altogether...

glow plugs are a thing
>>13891791
this
glow plugs puts out heat so you don't have to.
All diesel cars/trucks should have ability to be started by running compressed air through them.
Just imagine having a diesel truck on a cold snowy morning.

>get compressed air tank
>hook it up to the engine
