Why don't they let cars pass, truckers do it, why don't the self righteous fucks let people pass. You might say they aren't allowed on the sidewalk but they can pull to side just like a semi.

I know this is just a troll thread, but how bad is it in other states?
I grew up in Florida, still live in Orlando.
In a city like New York (from what I've heard) it makes sense that bikes can't ride on the sidewalks. But here around UCF area, nobody walks on the sidewalks. And even if there is someone on the sidewalk, the bicyclist just has to move over on the grass at least. I don't get these assholes.

It's quite bad in comifornia. Mountain passes like these are swarming with the swine. It's very common to see Tucker's pull over to let people pass, but I restate my thesis. These selfish fucks are truly the worst.
>>15082304
>Mountain passes like these are
>like these
Blind mountain passes?
I would rage from 0-100 real quick.

what is /o/ opinion on the RX-8, is there something wrong with her ? i might want to buy one
You can get MOT'd examples for £300. Why do you think that is? Because they're great cars?
Shit power
Shit mpg
Questionable reliability of you don't know what you're doing
so, should i go for an RX-7 ?
Any Goat owners here? Some say they run like shit, why? Can anyone talk from experience? I really want to buy one.

Can't speak for third gens, but I have a manual 02 WS6 that I love to death. It isn't without its faults, but the LS1 and manual transmission are great. The rear end is shit and should be replaced on any 4th gen. Headlight motors and electric window motors will also fail, but those are cheap fixes.
overall I really love my 4th gen and I'd say get one if you like driving.

Whats +/- the max mileage you should be able to get out of a pontiac generally? (I know, depends on this and that, whatever.)
>>15081983
They're rated 19 city/31 highway
I'm getting mid to low 20s on average
what makes for a good drift car? looking at making a drift car but i want something other than the proven regulars, silvia, corolla, etc.
what characteristics make for a good drift car exactly? can one with bad characteristics be made good with weight/suspension mods?
pic related. want to pick one up for doriftus
>>15081934
Something lightweight with skinny bald tires.
>>15081940
>lightweight
ballpark weight range?
it looks like stripping these down can get to ~3000lbs
>>15081940
Also, RWD. 150+hp should be just fine.
What's wrong with it?
unreliable
ugly
slow
overpriced
its one of those cars that does nothing right
Slow, heavy, full of cocaine

Like it says, post your car's/bike's exhaust sound
https://youtu.be/npPkg1szHWM
Not my video, but same exhaust on the same car.

Immediately after revving you hear this whining sound. Doesn't matter if it's on a cold start or rolling. The higher RPMs I rev too, the louder and longer the whine is. This doesn't happen when idling or normal driving.
What could this possibly be? I didn't have this before until a couple months ago. 06 Mustang GT

alternator, ac pump, air pump. something running off the crank.
>>15081423
I got a new alternator a couple months back. I don't remember the sound before that.
Anyway to check it without having to take off my belts and pumps 1 by 1?
When will GM ever beat Ford?

There is an issue with fuel level and parking up hill. Pump does not always pull gas correctly if left on incline overnight.
Post your most shameful mistakes

I'm so fucking ashamed of myself /o/, would've been t-boned (i.e. completely fucked in a miat) had the truck driver not been attentive and swerved
share ur stories friends
pic unrelated
This is why miata owners are fucking douchebags who bought in to a literal meme car that offers none of the things they bought it for aside from no roof

How the fuck are you going to pay for your new car by driving Uber when you only get paid $5 an hour?
Complain to all your passengers about how little you make.
Driving 8 hours a day 7 days a week is $560. Are you going to sleep in your car? How are you going to pay for food and the auto repairs?
At least you got a car out of it amirite?
What do you guys think of the prius v?
>>15081004
>prius
>three rows
patiently waiting for toyota to launch the prius sub-brand, since they now have a compact car, a midsize car, and a fucking three row crossover
boring
>>15081004
Prius v isn't 3-row. At least in the us.
Okay so I am a 21 year old with no credit yet, $2000 bucks saved up at the moment, a steady job that pays roughly 300 a week give or take and i do side jobs that makes it to where I get roughly 500 a week altogether. My Mom is going to let me be under her name for insurance but I'm so inexperienced when it comes to buying a car. I want a Dodge dakota and theres nothing on craigslist or anywhere that I can find that I can get a really nice 4wd dakota for about what I have at the moment but there are used car dealerships..Could someone tell me what to expect? Will I be able to put 2k down and make payments on a truck thats roughly 5k-7k? Do I need to go through my bank and get a loan and pay them back or will I be able to just pay the dealership? Basically walk me through all the necessary things I'm gonna have to do because I'm so clueless and theres so many different things I'm seeing on the internet that I don't know what to expect or what I should look to do right now. Also what are some tips going into this process?
>>15080844
No no no no no.
What do you drive now? Why are you wanting to buy something?
A lot depends on your credit score
>>15080844
They won't loan to you regardless because you're too young with no credit. You'll need a cosigner.
I'd just buy a 1500 dollar truck and call it a day. Everyone wants to get stuck with loans early these days. Also, why a Dakota? Why not a Tacoma, d21, ranger?
How the fuck do you rev match in a diesel?
In my car, I go hard on the brakes into the turn, then I press the throttle all the way to the floor, wait about 5 hours for it to rev, then let the clutch out.
Am I just bad or are diesel cars naturally unresponsive and shitty?
I can't heel and toe ;(
>>15080795
>Am I just bad or are diesel cars naturally unresponsive and shitty?
the latter
Depends on the engine really. The tiny ass diesels they're putting into these econo shitboxes have no balls. Bigger diesels like the 5.9 or 6.7 cummins are completely different
>>15080795
if it really takes too longto rev match, just go ahead and floor it with the heel and you will achieve minimum downshift clutch wear since air is not restricted at all by the throttle body
