Sometimes I dream about having the corner window office.
Why do all modern cars look like yeast bread rolls that have risen for too long with some "aggressive" front that looks like a constipated face and have those retarded rising window lines that make visibility shit?
Why can't form follow function anymore?
I've only driven old cars but when I travel for work and need to rent a car I'm amazed at how shit the design is. The interior is crammed even though they are big, visibility is poop, center panel the size of a person et.c..
Like the Jaguar XE I drove some months ago. Fuck it was crowded inside even though it's a huge car. Why the hell make the center panel this big?

Because car design isn't done by guys like these anymore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfFib-d5ODo

Cars were big before your 80s poorfag shitbox.
Cars were round before your 80s shitbox.
Tiny Windows existed before your 80s shitbox.
The only real anomaly of modern design is the angry face which i'd say is a trend that reflects how relatively aggressive handling and suspensions are set up these day. Also the cramped interior is thanks to safety regs...you know...a decision of form following function...
Do /o/ think that I should enjoy my white privilege guilt free and buy a ferrari or a jet? Or should I give to charities that benefit the poor and make a positive impact on other people's lives?
Sure we does

Poorfaggot here, it's your life. Don't let a bunch of autists on a cambodian basket weaving forum make decisions for you.
Hey guys. I was hired by Ford motor company to post "exciting" and "positive" things about Ford on random forums.
The explanation was that fords build quality is pretty terrible, and my job is to distract potential buyers by continually posting positive things and disputing or distracting from the negative things people would post.
Honesty I'm tired of it. I've made a fair amount of money. Ford's marketing team is made up of liars and con artists. It's all just gotten to me and I can't take it anymore. It makes me sick to be...

Obvious false flag is obvious
That sort of thing only works on fucking idiots. So depending on your views w/r/t misleading total fucking morons either don't feel bad or do.
Hey /o/ ive got a question.
I just got a 1990 chevy cheyenne 1500, and its sputtering badly due to a hole in the exhaust pipe leading up to the muffler. I know it will be obnoxiously loud if i cut it off where the hole in the pipe is, but will it affect how the truck runs if i do?
>>14774708
By sputtering do you mean you can hear the exhaust coming out of the hole? But anyways yes you can cut it off. But put a turn down on it facing towards the side of the truck so you don't have exhaust floating around underneath the truck. It might be a little loud but not too bad. Did that on my 2002 1500.

Sputtering as air attempting to leave the hole(in the photo below) and making the truck shake as it blows out.
No. It's not.
>>14774545
Yes, but you better be aware that it could be a total loss. It's a risky endeavor so if the car goes to shit, you have no one to blame but yourself.

Is the 2016 Camaro the car of the year or what?
Too bad you can't see fucking dick out of it. I got the chance to sit in one and thought I was riding in the loadmaster's position in the space shuttle.

This is literally what /o/ bitches about.
Need /o/ advice
my car has very minor scratches all over the body, all clearcoat scratches.
I'm planning to get polish liquid, wax, and polish myself.
Don't have polish tool.
What is the best liquid and wax to use?
How much liquid is needed for the whole car?
General polish advice?
>>14774322
Buffing compound and finish with good synthetic sealant
>>14774355
there are different liquids, some are called compounds, some just polish.
Is compound more harsh? like sandpaper?
Here's a great video about removing clearcoat scratches

Is that a snapon power tool?
What a joke lol.
I love how the snapon caliper is literally the exact same caliper that harbor freight sells with a different sticker on it
Snapon powertools are literally craftsman tier, dewalt and milwaukee are the goat for electric power tools.

bonus points for coming across as a such a douche that the 4 other guys with historical trucks won't want to associate themselves with you or your thread
No pics on my phone, but I have a 78 C10 longbed, 350 auto. He's a cool guy who drinks a lot of lead substitute.

Friend was looking for a 98-02 ls1 Firebird with me earlier this year. Was his dream car. Then he gets real quiet for two weeks and shows up with a cuck 2016 Civic sedan. His cunt gf made him buy it. Her whole family loves Hondas and she wouldn't allow him to spend his own money on something he likes. He covers it with lies, not gonna be friends with a cuck.
>>14773892
He shoulda just let her die of cancer desu senpai
This car hit me and sped off. Got a quick pic.
Can anyone ID the car, or make out the plate? I think it might be "SPN" but i'm not sure. Should be easy to find with that vanity plate
Why didn't you give chase and indirectly cause their death when they take an offramp too fast?
why are you asking 4chan instead of the fucking police?
Could be a late 90's accord.
