Is there a single ethnicity known for good driving?
Finns.
I wouldn't say good driving. But white people seem to be the most average.
I live in bumfuck Canada. Every, EVERY time I see someone who isn't white driving I ALWAYS see them do the dumbest shit ever

The France has produced a lot of great rally drivers. Not sure you'd call "French" a nationality, though.
One of the big problems motorsport has always faced is that the costs of entry are unbelievably high; because whites have historically been, on average, significantly richer than other races, that's meant that they've always dominated. That a white face is a lot more marketable than any other colour has probably had an impact too, what with sponsorship being such a big deal.

I'm getting my first car. I want a van, so I can go on a road-trip while sleeping in my comfy van. Help me out here (or don't).
>>13978377
Just get a crossover like the Nissan Murano. They're really spacious inside and great at offroading. Also they're very reliable and get good gas mileage.
>>13978378
thanks, might check it out.

I have a question /o/, and please..no whitty replies.. So, I have a 87 Chevy C10 Truck that has a 350 V8 Engine and It runs great and everything fires right up. I had the carb rebuilt and fuel filters, fuel lines, fuel pumps, water pumps and had an oil change recently. Now, I don't think its the oil because this problem still happens so heres the problem. When I cold start my truck every morning after it sits for about 6-8 hours, I get in and press the gas pedal all the way to the floor and hold it for about 3 seconds then release then again for another 3 seconds then release...

you can check your spark plugs to see if its rich or lean
during that time, let it idle. if they are black its too rich
>>13978303
I'll check, I had a idea that it could be related to the plugs. I had 3 replaced because out the 5 that remain, I can't replace because they are rusted I have to wait till each of the 5 last old plugs had to blow out in order to be re-threaded for new plugs.
Is that your truck in the OP? I drive the same truck, '87 Scottsdale. Odd that yours is carb'd, though. Is it the original 350? I thought they introduced TBI into all of them that year. Maybe consider installing a manual choke, will help you heaps with carb control during cold starts.
How much power does a dry sump actually add?
maybe 10hp
which in racing is a lot.

You realize turbo literally make the engine work as if it had more displacement right? It forces more fuel and air into the cylinders than they can normally hold.
>friend revs above 5k all the time
>"it's ok shitpost guy, this engine was made to be wou d out constantly"
He'll realize once it starts drinking oil at 80k
>>13978202
>operating within its mechanical limits
It'll be fine
>>13978202
And he's correct, assuming the engine reached optimal temperature.
High revs is are not what breaks the engines, if anything low revs are actually more harmful.
It's all about being gentle with the throttle.

Bring snek to UK pls
>>13978212
snek is already sold in europe, is it not?
just swim to france and buy one
>mfw there is exactly ONE chrysler dealership in my country
I wonder how well they would take the news if I strutted down there in a trift shop gettup and a suitcase full of money and asked for a snek, considering they haven't sold a car since 2008
There's also a FIAT joke somewhere in there kek, but there aren't enough sneks catching fire for the car to be properly italian...

Ask me anything if you're interested. I'm male, 20, and Europe-based. I will, however, not tell you the name of the company.

Why are 30, 50, and 130 km/h points red?
>>13978176
4900 rpm redline, europe confirmed.
>>13978238
30 is the limit in reduced-traffic areas, 50 is the limit in the city and 130 is the recommended maximum speed.
Has anyone else noticed the resurgence of the classic Z cars in the news?
>>13977959
No, but I've recently taken an interest in them. They are pretty beautiful cars.
They're going up in value it's not unexpected
