Anyone else constantly at war with birds and their shit?
There's a power line directly above my car, and they do strategic air bombardments when I'm not outside.
Someone share wisdom on how to defeat them once and for all.
>>15185551
Look at the little faggot just waiting for his opportunity
>>15185551
Use the old gardening trick, take some blank cds or reflecting pie tins and place them on the poles or hang them on rods near the curb, birds hate shit that reflects light back at them. A few hanging cds is all it took to keep grackles from eating all my parents strawberries, I thought they were crazy till I attached 6 blank discs over the edge of my car port, and now no birds squatting over the edge and pooing on my cars.
>>15185575
And yeah, that little bastard waiting to ruin your wax job, so weak.
what's your favorite dad car /o/?
>>15185201
Roadmaster lt1 or crown vic.
>liking boring fwd sedans
Gtfo normie.
>>15185201
That Sonata is fucking nice. Like a better looking Audi.
>>15185442
I want to love it because it's a great value, but the base 2.4 cyl has a loud drone and it feels cheap on the inside. Accord and Camry areall-around better cars.
it's going to be on Saturday, the 18th, of this month, and we're going to drive GMR. go get the day off, you working class plebs
>>15185140

The image received comments such as
> Hope the person is fine and nobody's got injured you could always replace a car but you can't replace a human life.
Aren't lowrider people meant to be gangster?
Those comments are not gangster at all.
A real gangster cares more about cars and jewellery than human life... and the people saying this were mexican.
Lol Paul Walker
>>15184930

that was me after i rolled my scion i was so upset that i just finished paying for it and it was gone as opposed to wow my head was like less than a foot from being outside the open window as the car rolled
Are 4x4 worth the extra money if you don't plan on doing any off roading or towing?
>>15184844
Obviously not?
>is a race car worth it if you live in downtown new York city?
>>15184844
Fuck no. I bought my Suburban thinking I was gonna have off road adventures, but since I lived in the Suburbs, I used the 4x4 maybe once or twice.
Also towing doesn't make a difference.
No and its actually bad for the components if they are never used.
What's the best 4x4 car?
and why it's lada niva?
>>15184724
Offroad capability is outstanding, but that's all it had going for it. Post-Soviet build quality would be pretty abysmal.
>>15184994
i find it cute :3
So, uh, it isn't supposed to look like this, is it?
>>15184669
Lash set wrong
>>15184669
Just use some synthetic oil, she'll be right
Zip ties will fix you right up
> tfw depressed and driving recklessly is the only thing that makes me feel alive
>tfw depressed and driving recklessly is the only thing that makes me feel like shit
Merged quickly into the next lane but didn't stop when it was about to hit red
>>15184543
depressed about what exactly
that you drive shitbox that you have to max out to have any kind of semblance of fun?
Same. Drifted my jag into a curb last month, shattered the hub carrier and wheel. I put in a whole new hub assembly but something still sounds fucked and the exhaust has been pulled apart from going over a stupid construction curb. I don't want the car anymore but it was my baby and I always thought it'd be the only car for me. Got me through several suicide attempts and reckless drunk Driving. It's the only time I feel alive.
I can't go back because I started driving my brothers jetta which weighs half the amount and is standard. Too much fun to chuck it around, and I have plans to get an R32 gtr now. I don't want the jag anymore, can't get hektik in it.
What does /o/ think the ugliest car ever made?

Your favorite car.

Why do these faggots exist?
>>15184352
For insurance cash outs when youre sick of your shitbox. Just hit them

>a car is sitting in the middle of intersection not moving
>refuses to go back behind the white line
Lots of people don't care if they stick out nowadays. A lot of times, they just run the red light after forcing the lights force oncoming traffic to stop.
The attitude is a downstream result from the "ugly american" behaviour syndrome so common with americans since reagan made it fashionable to be conspicuously selfish. Over time during his presidency, that deliberate selfishness attitude evolved into a cultural change in america. In foreign countries, one name for that kind of arrogant uncaring behaviour is "ugly american".
Sure, there are lots of polite people too. But these totally selfish people get in your face sometimes. As a result of the chronic bad behaviour, the city council got many complaints from the "traffic cop liberals" as the conservative opposition called them. Nevertheless, these liberals managed to convince the council to install some stop light cameras at several problem intersections. A lot of the bad behaviour thus stopped, proving that those liberals were correct. If regulations aren't enforced, the scofflaws will break the law in ever increasing numbers.
The debate still continues about cellphone use in cars. The state law says no hands-on use of phones in cars, but the city got complaints from the conservatives that it's important to be able to take calls on demand in order to conduct business. Once again, they said the liberal overprotective nannies were trying to stifile business by having city police enforce no texting no calling in cars. For now, the police were instructed to only ticket the most serious offenders while the debate goes on. Getting rid of texting while driving is yet another liberal nanny plot to stifle business! So, it's another case of the conservatives acknowledging the laws exist, but that the city should not enforce them in the local area. De Facto Deregulation in other words.

hows the reliability on boxer diesels? are they actually bad or is it a meme?
considering buying one with 150000km on it (93k miles)
>>15184307
Also interested. Googling doesn't return too much in the form of negative anecdotal experience in the same way it does for other engines (having said that, I've got nothing but great experience in terms of reliability with EJ25s).
Contemplating a diesel Forester as the family chariot.
I guess the lack of /o/ replies is nothing but complimentary.
Boxer engines are pretty much always less reliable than a v or a straight of similar size just because of they way they are designed.
That being said unreliable in this case is relative and you'll probably not have any major issues as long as you don't drive it like you stole it constantly
Why are Chrysler and GM such shit manufacturers?
>>15184133
Ford the worst desu. The only thing they actually make is trucks and mustangs. Every other car in their line up is made by another company.
>>15184133
>chrysler
>shit
bad meme
Chrysler/Dodge have their moments
What do they even make for the US market anymore?
wagons, suvs, and sedans mostly
http://www.motortrend.com/news/2016-volvo-xc90-is-the-motor-trend-suv-of-the-year/
Not much. Probably things that don't get noticed at all.
>>15183924
I bought a 2002 S60 recently. I will never buy another Volvo again.
Which is the better choice?
Ford focus.
I drove a Corolla once. It was nice.
>>15183841
Corolla, I don't trust Nissan since Ghosn bought them out
