Is the only reason it takes 3 years to become a qualified spray painter because it's a job full of dumb high school drop outs, hence they give them a long time to learn to make it easy?
If I start spray painting things as a hobbie how long until I get gud?
with that mindset you will always be trash

It literally is a job full of high school drop outs though...
I joined groups for spray painters on facebook so I could listen to them talk about spray painting.
Nothing but hill billies all over my facebook now, lol.

You expected highbrow philosophical discussion or something?
Ok /o/. It all has sunk in now after wrecking my car. Finally got to look at everything today. However I can't figure out what exactly is broken.
The rear drivers wheel on my mk4 Jetta is bent inwards. Upon close inspection, I don't think the control arm caused this since it seems perfectly fine. Looks like I broke and separated the brake rotor. Pic related.
The passengers front wheel isn't aligned properly. It points in a different direction than the other side. Did I bend a tie rod? Posting that pic next.
Can anyone help?

This is what my rear drivers wheel is doing
why dont you post a picture of the whole car and someone might be able to tell you if fixing it is likely going to be impossible, ie, frame damage
Just did my first ever fix on a vehicle, Haynes manual saved my shit.
Tips for next time?
DIY thread.
Congrats. Slightly odd you needed a haynes manual to replace a starter but w/e nice job. Buy more tools.

Thanks man!
Well I didn't even know I had to lift the engine to get to this thing, I've never ever touched the inner workings of a vehicle before

The great

Orlando, Florida
The suck

You forgot that deer in Wisconsin are suicidal.
>>15141151
Yea that too. Fuck deer. I go hunting every chance I get because those oversized rats are a massive danger for night driving.

Tell me again why you don't drive the greatest truck ever made?
It's ugly.
I want one 4x4, maual. But they're so fucking ugly and I can't find a way to make em look "good" much rather a 7.3 250 or a 5.9 2500.
Yea they're more expensive but they look "good" and sronger than the tundra.

Shit if I could swap a tacoma face on it, I'd buy it.
>>15145303
Because my Nissan Titan is better.
Replica or the real deal, /o/
>>15136611
they both blow for the price
>>15136611
Replica for a vehicle you want to drive and use.
Real if you're a boomer who wants to trailer a car around to shows and use it as an investment.
replica
you can have guilt-free fun with it and not have boomers yell in your face about risking a classic worth hundreds of thousands of dollars
plus the replicas have more modern engineering for better ride quality
What is the American Dream in car form?
The kind of thing that if you are working class, and put in the effort you get as a reward. A working class symbol of making it, or success.
My first thought was corvette but that seems cliche.
Something RHD that was imported and highly impractical. I'll probably end up buying 2-3 toyota centuries; one as a DD the other(s) for parts
>>15144517
1. Mustang
2. Camaro
3. Challenger

V6 Camry
>Cobalt SS is FWD
>gets 0-60 in 5.7 seconds
If you can't beat this car's time with your non-FWD car you have no base to call FWD an inherently bad drivetrain.
hell these did it in 5.3
a fwd family sedan
>only speed matters LMAO!
Nice bait. Fuck off.

Is it illegal for cyclists to take up the whole lane with a car behind or are they supposed to make room for car to pass? I live in California with good roads and cyclists have been ruining my fun
No they are allowed to do that the bikes can go wherever cars go
They're supposed to keep up with traffic though
>>15141625
They are allowed to take up the whole lane.

POOR FINISH

9/10 cars, we try and guess whats went wrong to prevent a perfect 10!
>>15143847
Those wheels.
>>15143847
Those wheels, but I also don't like the mirrors.
Are YouTube car videos what's wrong with this generation?

All of this is.
