I ride a bike. What would be the tail stepping out slightly for you is a crash for me, especially as I have none of the safety systems you carfags are keked into getting. Started getting too confident in my skills, learned my lesson, haven't done anything wrong since 6000 km ago
I don't know how to drive stick because I'm from the United States of Autotragic.
I really want to learn though.
I advocate light, low-power cars despite having never driven one.

I tried learning stick, but my timing is awful, and I wish my mother weren't so insistent on teaching me to drive on an automatic all those years ago. I'm thinking about going to one of those driving schools just to learn manual.
I hate people on this board who think recommending a brand of car is "shilling". But in retrospect, I wish companies would pay me money to shill on a Sri Lankan Stilt Fishing board.

Am i the only one here who thinks popups look like shit when combined with modern styling? They only work with 80s and 90s styling.
I used to own an automatic miata
>>13809731
As the guy you're replying too, I sort of agree, but I think especially on the ND it looks amazing given it's giant smiling grille. The NA looks happy,confused, nervous, or scared depending on the angle, but the ND with popups always looks like it's having such a great time. How can you not have fun spending time inside such a qt3.14?

I feel like they need to be updated to match it, somehow.

Yeah, I'm a Ford guy myself. I've also owned almost half a dozen Hondas though. I actually traded my GM for a Ford.
I also converted a friend who was a Chevy fan, he now owns 3 Mustangs.

YZF 125R
I bought a manual with less than two hours of practice a month ago and stalled it more than three times on the way back because I didn't get that it was okay to slip the clutch a bit.
I still rev up to around 2500 RPM before I start letting the clutch out.
>>13809803
That poor car.
Cruising in a manual is all about finesse.
>>13809803
My first time driving a manual was when I test drove my current Jeep.
>>13809803
>I still rev up to around 2500 RPM before I start letting the clutch out.
Holy shit, stop. I have my clutch engaged by 1200rpm-1500rpm at the most in my Focus.
I don't know how to fix vehicles.
I have never driven anything with more than 4 cylinders
I have never driven anything other than FWD
I learned manual at 24, in the car that I used to get my license and my current DD (25 now)
I still can´t get the car moving in 1rst gear in a reliable way, sometimes the car shakes, sometimes I almost stall, sometimes I over rev the engine. All subsequent shifts go nice and smooth.
I go neutral and use brakes instead of engine breaking
I´v forgotten most of what daddy taguth me about fixing engines n shit
I installed LED headlights, they have the same beam pattern as halogens tho.
I have replaced all but my turn lights with LED bulbs, high quality tho
Once I blew a tire to a curb and blamed lazy construction workers, said they left a piece of metal leaving around.

Why? Neither my GSX-R or TL idled that high.
>>13809868
is this normal? i literally start engaging the clutch from idle & give it gas as im letting the clutch engage
>I've never owned a RWD vehicle
>I've never owned a V8
>I don't know how to drive stick
>I barely know how to work on my car and most of the problems I have are big ones that require experience and expensive tools to fix

>>13809911
I think you don't know what you're talking about
>>13809924
That's what you're supposed to do, engage the clutch as quickly and smoothly as possible.

>>13809868
Yeah. Rather, I'm not really letting it out right at 2500, I blip up to there and come out on the clutch reeeeally slowly, then give it more gas. I'm not launching, but I know the clutch is probably gonna be shot pretty soon... Trying to get better at it. I always feel like it dies or lugs way too much when I try to let it out and hit the throttle.. I'm probably just not giving it enough gas.
(Should probably go practice that, I'm picking up a girl later...)
>>13810127
Let it out right up to the biting point, then add some gas and slowly let it out the rest of the way.
Best of luck, anon.

>>13810204
I could specify that I like the cars and I believe that they fill a nice gap in the market for people who want a taller ride than a wagon can offer, AWD being pretty much standard and a great help during winter and decent amounts of space
The "problem" is that the main focus of marketing seems to be towards people who live in cities and have no need of any of that, and would infact be better served with a normal wagon or similar
>>13809778
Sour grapes.
>>13810249
Crossovers done right are cool. Unfortunately most of them aren't. Also, the marketing, like you say.

Damn shame about the headgaskets.
Rest in piece you glorious bastard.
I didn't get my license until I was twenty two.
Also, I've never driven (more than once) anything more powerful than a Chrysler Town and Country.

This. I'd say 98% of /o/ couldn't afford any M3 newer than an E46, so they'll shittalk the newer ones because shittalking BMW is trendy on /o/ just like shittalking america is trendy for europeans.
>>13809136
Was changing a flat in my driveway and I forgot to loosen the nuts before jacking up the car.
Car went flying forward off the shitty jack and took out the tail light on my dad's car.
Never told him about it and he still to this day thinks it was the urban youths who live down the street.
I'm buying a Japanese hybrid hatchback. as a single cis gendered hetero male and looking forward to it.

I have a 1970 Chevelle sitting in my garage that I haven't touched in 10 years

But where do you put the stacks for your diesel on a Cadillac?
>>13815433
There are duramax EXT swaps
So you could put them in the bed
>>13815445
The thought tickles me but it doesn't support the other person's argument because the EXT basically is also a pickup truck, and not a pretty one at that, at least the second gen.
Second gen Avalanche > First gen EXT > First gen Avalanche > Second gen EXT
I really don't know how Cadillac could force this absolutely god awful looking front on the Escalade for eight fucking years.
>>13815463
Hell, even the interior looks better on the first gen EXT.

I cheated on my girlfriend.
In my girlfriend's car.
>>13815463
Well I'm partial the the first gen EXT because I have one and it's made it 265k and I did hate the 2nd gen at first but it's grown on me since the ugly 3rd gens came out and the cunts dropped the EXT
>>13815483
Is the midgate mechanism any different on the first gen, or improved on the second gen?
I really dig the concept the Envoy XUV because the midgate window and tailgate window and roof section retract electronically, you only have to fold over the rear seats and fold down the midgate manually, unlike the lego puzzle job you have to do on Avalanches and EXTs.
Also to an extent I admire the persistent rebadging business over at GM because you can swap a ton of interior and exterior parts between different models, for example to create a GMC Sierra EXT.
>>13811671
Look on the bright side: your failure to invest in a garage will mean that your car will rot as fast as it would if you were driving it at least five time as much!
