Missconception thread.
>Brake rotors do not warp.
They build up debris, which causes uneven wear. This can be caused by poorly greased slide pins, jerky pads, bad wheel bearings, or other loose components. They can crack.
>Semi trucks dont throw rocks at your windshield.
While the wheel diameter is larger on a truck, they travel at much slower speed, their rubber compound is harder, and 95% of trucks have mudflaps, while regular cars do not.
Cars travel faster, and have sticker tires which...

None of those are "missconceptions".

No. Just no.

>wankel engine is great
something inherently finicky isn't great. The EJ257 is inherently a "good" motor when you "take care of it", but it shits the bed eventually. Anything if you "take care of it" "properly" won't have issues. Please don't try to pretend the Wankel is that great, most people swap the LS1 into their RXx's they get from junkyards for $500 over their lunch break.
I'm going to take my license test today, /o/. Wat do?
Don't fail. You'll do fine.

One of the reasons I love manuals.
What other consumer products still exist that can be completely destroyed using nothing but the controls it comes with?

>not getting 100%
I have $8k to spend. I want either a clean BMW E39 or some kind of comfy as fuck Mercedes. What is a better option? This would be my daily but I do have a Ford Ranger that I might keep or sell.
An Acura TL.
That is the better option
>>14019036
I'm set on BMW or Mercedes. I know, I'm a fag.
>>14019047
Why though. You only have 8k to spend on a DD so I am going to go out on a limb here and assume you are not flush with cash.
Only reason I can think of for getting an E39 or and a "comfy as fuck" Mercedes is if youre in your early 20s and buying into the German 'luxury' meme.
So /o/, how'd I do? '79 Fairmont wagon with the 5.0 V8. Old lady owned, meticulously maintained. Came with CB radio
Pic is nearly identical
I like fox wagons.
Smog era 302 that is absolutely worthless though, time to find a junkyard exploder/mountainqueer, stab a decent cam and valve springs in it, throw a t5 behind it and have fun.
>>14018967
this.
Explorer engines are cheap as fuck and you can make good power with them.You can also find ones with oil coolers which is a plus. I'm going to throw one in my Capri once the engine goes.
Anyways, I don't know if this is blasphemy or not but new jeeps seemed to be WAY overpriced??? At least where I live (socal) they are charging absolutely crazy prices for all the bloated options, for example:
$1,200 - Power windows, door locks, and mirrors aka "Convenience package". What I want to know is why doesn't this come standard like every other vehicle? Personally I'd never consider buying a vehicle that doesn't have power windows and door locks.
$2,000 for a navigation package - Really? My Galaxy S5 Android phone does for...

A friend of mine had a Jeep and it swallowed three valves at just over 100 k miles. She says, and I agree, that JEEP stands for Just Empty Every Pocket. IMHO these care are overpriced, over weight and over hyped.
>>14015546
People will pay for image - the same people you see owning these jeeps new will rarely take them offroad.
>>14015546
Its the parent company. They're trying to gain themselves some prestige since selling bare bones Wranglers isn't making their bottom line. If you look at their newest line up you can see they're trying to become a seller of entry level luxury mall cruisers, and prices are slowly creeping upwards on everything.
You're not going to get a new one without dropping a lot of cash. Unless you had a dealer in the family or something, then you could probably work something out.
