Went and had a look at a car with my bro guy tells us it's got adjustys I tell him there cut springs and he says it's wat the previous owner told him he was a fuckin drongo idk how you can't tell
>>14257731
>he's never owned something with a turbo
>>14260047
My brothers like that. He replaced his oil in his car to synthetic oil just because he saw it on a TV show and he had to search on youtube how to replace engine oil. He also doesnt know the difference between a carburetor and a programmed fuel injection system

Soccer moms in general. My mother especially.
They buy big ass SUVs or Minivans for their two kids and waste so much space. My mom went 35k miles without changing the oil on her Nissan Rogue, and when I drove it the brakes barely worked. Her windshield wipers just made everything worse, and the car was so fucking filthy and the trunk was full of garbage, Starbucks coffee cups, shopping bags, etc.
This seems to be common in suburban America among white, middle-aged women.

Fraternity member here. A group of guys who are knowledgeable about vehicles educate those who aren't. Just like those who are knowledgeable about finances educate those who aren't.

normies buy CVTs and traditional autos because they're stupid, they're not going out of their way to buy DSGs. the power loss on a traditional torque converter auto is not worth it, esp for someone with a non-boyracer low-HP vehicle. and if you live somewhere that isn't 500 miles of flat in every which direction, having physical control over your gearing is nice.

Except it isn't. Increasing the RPMs usually makes more power with the same displacement, as long as you have a proper cam.

OEMs manage to eliminate Side thrust for the most part.

>those people who act like VTEC is God's gift to mankind
>people who talk about mods that they did as stages
>>14264825
You lose torque at the same horsepower vs a larger displacement and you have a smaller power band as well as it being higher in the rpm range. Also your engine is a lot more stressed at higher rpms requiring more expensive parts as well as a higher risk of failure.

VTEC is great though.

No displacement= no engine, no power. Simple as that.

Torque of course, hp you're gonna have more at higher rpms in the same gear. Or do you know of a car that gets slower when you press down the pedal?

>manually shift their auto
Like moving it from D>2 when entering a corner? It's quite slow to respond but could help wieh corner exit since they normally don't choose the right gear until you're over half way through the turn.
