> i don't know how to drive manual transmission
I've lied about being at a race track, so much so that I knew the track by heart, including all the details about it. Prices, location, how to get there, gas stations on the way and restaurants that were popular.
>>14863649
might as well say you don't know how to drive.
People who are really into cars are boring
(Like its their only hobby/ all they talk about)
I really don't think there's anything wrong with FWD cars
>>14863722
I've found this, too. I'm MRE knowledgeable than a lot of my friends about cars, but some people I meet, Jesus fuck. Its like the need to CONSTANTLY one up you.
I deposited my sperm into my sump to feel closer to my car
Xterras and 4runners always beat my 2014 wrangler at the local pulls and muddin contests.
I shill jeeps in the off road general and lie about my skills.
i talk down xterras to death
I tell people 4runners are shit.
Im so sorry
>>14863649
I prefer FWD cars. Probably because it's less scary and I feel more in control, but I've owned 3 RWD cars and now my first FWD car and I'm never going back.
I hate "car culture" and the majority of car enthusiasts I meet
> I find nothing wrong with automatics if one doesn't brag about them
> I wish there was more casual "car culture" without all the guys in tank tops and flat brim hats vaping in front of Buffalo Wild Wings
> It would be nice if people could just appreciate that someone sees their car as more than transportation
I tripfag because I don't like the idea of not being noticed in a crowd
Even though my car was built in the 21st century, I still warm it up for a few minutes before driving off

>>14864109
To be fair, my dad rarely drives. I've become the unofficial familial chauffeur now, because of how cautiously and safely I drive.

What's wrong with her?
>>14863930
Nope. Need to let oil pressure build up so lubrication is happening. In most modern cars that takes all of a few seconds. Best way to warm a car up is to drive it gently until normal operating temperature is reached
>>14863649
I make irrational bmw hate threads every 24-48 hours because I'm too poor to afford one. I want literally any BMW, I dont care which one, other than the SUVs. They're all cool as fuck.
I follow tripfags around hoping they pay attention to me
>>14864179
She doesn't pay attention when driving, typically talking on the phone, eating, doing makeup, or checking social media.
Last week she was snapchatting in the car while driving on I-45 in Houston.
She never learns from her mistakes, and my dad buys her a brand new car every time. Last time instead of getting her a Porsche Cayenne or some other obscenely expensive SUV as he's done in the past... he got her a BMW X1.
>>14864210
Goddamn. That would annoy the piss out of me. It's one thing if her vision is going because of age or something, it's another if she's just a dipshit.

I am posting from behind the wheel of a moving semi truck.
Whenever my girlfriend makes me mad by sending me out to run errands for her during inconvient times, I use her car, and drive as rough as possible.
>>14864249
Wouldn't it be so easy to just take a life or two right now?
I only buy old trucks and cars because I want them to survive an emp. Im scared of digital anything in vehicles.
i dont like miatas because most people i've met that own one are faggy cunts or poorfags boiracers with babby's first track car
>>14864333
I'm not worried about EMPs, but it makes me really uneasy knowing that there's a layer of computer bullshit between me and the road.
I work in software testing.
>>14864296
I could take my own hella easily but I'm on an empty as shit Montana freeway so I'd have to go over the big sloped dirt median into oncoming traffic and would probably flip before hitting anyone.
I really hate that I do this but I'm so fucking bored all the time, I want to quit but I don't know anything else but driving.
I suck at driving on track
>>14864084
if you want another one just post your address ;)
bought it a bit under a year ago and don't plan on using it
I send chill people to other dealerships because i don't want them buying an unreliable cvt shit box
Please people DONT BUY new
Maximas
Altimas
Sentras
Versas
Jukes

Anything with a Nissan cvt just please
Manual or normal automatic you dont understand how bad the cvts really are especially in the versa

You really are mentally retarded

>>14864383
I road in and drove my friends Sentra. It was a little weird but not a bad trans for a shitbox.
>>14864418
Naa i always use auto correct and dont look at my phone out of habit
>>14864438
No my sales are still good i live in a rual community so 80% of my sales are titans pathfinders and frontiers Maxima buyers are typicly persuaded to buy a base model 370z and versa buyers sometimes go with the bullet proof 5 speed
>>14864443
Hes a lucky one at least half of the ones we sell rev to 7k in second gear and clunk around 3ed and fourth constantly on any kind of incline its pritty shitty
>>14864383
What is your opinion on the 6 speed manual in the current Frontier?
I find it kinda weird that the manual tranny oil is on a 40k change interval. Don't most other manual trannys have a longer interval?
>>14864383
Yeah my buddies dealership has a shitload of spare cvts because of how often they blow up
>>14863822
because it is less scary, and you are more in control...
Get ya a honda, throw a FMI unit, and turbo kit on it, no need for injectors, ecu, tuners and all that bullshit... run ya 3-6 lbs of boost and kickass on the street.
even better if ya get the v6-accords with j30/32 or an h23 non-vtec prelude.
pic related, Accord ex coupe v6-6speed j30a4
The only reason stoping me from getting a mustang gt or challenger is that I see them all the time in the streets. I want something different than the masses
*tip fedora*
>>14864477
Its because people are scared of the 2005-2010 frontier xterra auto trans problems mostly its a reasurense / cash grab thing were doing to convince customers were good agin but in reality you can go 60k or more with out worrying i personaly change mine every 30k becuase thats what i was told by my grand father and all my mantknce is free. Its a bullet proof truck just do your self a favor and get the 4x4 model for resale value and snow
>>14864481
Same here to bad the maxima is automatic only the 5 speed versa is as reliable as an old corola
>pro tip
If your car has a cvt and a manual mode try to only use manual mode and ALWAYS let the cvt warm up before you hoon
I used to suck at driving before I watched Initial D.
>>14864210
ever considered gathering accident reports on her and anonymously mailing them to the local DMV office?
Maybe her license will get suspended and you'll save a few lives...
>>14864506
Sounds good, thanks.
I have the S base model crew cab VQ40 with 4x4. I don't really care about resale as I intend to drive it until it dies. Currently at 37k in 2 years, so far so good. Wish it was better on fuel but whatever.
>>14864528
Niceee any pictures or mods?
With Nissan trucks you get reliableaty and torque over mpgs and speed remember that when your cruseing at 300k miles
>>14864542
Not really, I have a few on my phone but it is all bone stock. Only thing I did was unbadge my tailgate. Still has the Nissan logo but I took off the "Frontier" and "4X4."
One of the few reasons I bought it over a Taco is because of value, horsepower/torque, 4 wheel disc brakes and fully boxed frame. I figured it is hasn't had major changes in 10 years so it would be reliable enough.
>>14864624
Just keep up with oil changes and schedualed mantince (dont stress trand fluid to much) and it will last forever
Also Tacomas are way over priced for some reason
>>14864649
I was just going to change it anyway...not going to hurt unless I mess it up amirte?
Yeah, Tacoma's have that "Toyota reliability" premium. Resale prices are insane, sometimes it is just cheaper to buy a new one.
I also can't drive manual
I want to, but I have no idea how to go about learning it if I don't already own a manual car.
>>14863649
pushing in the left pedal disconnects the engine from the gears and you need to do this in between changing gears
the only part of driving a manual (for everyday non-performance driving) that requires more skill than using a paddle shifter is starting from a dead stop. pushing in the left pedal, shifting into first, and releasing the left pedal too fast will stall a car because it doesn't have enough power at a low RPM to overcome the dead weight. to fix this either release the pedal more slowly or give the engine more gas to increase the power or do both.
there no you know how to drive a manual transmission
>>14865095
You buy one, and then you either learn fast or die hard.
>>14865095
it is trivial to learn. the only reason people don't know how to do it is because they haven't taken the 30 seconds it takes to learn in a parking lot somewhere.
>>14865184
>*clutch out*
>*stall*
>"hehe whoops"
>*restart engine*
repeat 5 times to learn manual
>>14863722
This.
I'm studying vehicle engineering and it's full of people like this
>>14865184
I'm sure it is, it sounds simple enough
the closest thing I have to practice on is a 89 ford ranger that my brother partially blew the transmission out on when he attempted to learn. I doubt it was his fault, but it scared him enough he gave up on it.
It no longer has a reverse or 5th gear, nor has it been started since then which was about 6 years ago.
>>14863649
Unforgivable
I like my auto more then my manual..
>I don't know how to drive automatic transmission
>>14863649
I want to own a Multipla.
>I street race constantly
Which I don't even think is that bad. The only people who whine about it on /o/ are the ones with cars too slow to race anything. If you actually know how to drive, you won't cause an accident.
>I always put a loud exhaust on any car I own
>I intentionally make flames shoot out
>I do this purely for attention
It works. Picking up and banging grils solely because they love your car is a good feeling. I've also made a lot of great car buddies by showing off like this.
>I hate Subaru and BMW because of the owners
The cars themselves are actually okay. I'd love to own an '07 STI or a 540i
I own a car and I never used it
I ride my bike everywhere or use my dad's Volvo
>>14863926
This. In particular, I secretly love underglow and wish it would make a comeback.
>>14865934
nice
I sometimes don't come to complete stops at stop signs when I'm in a hurry.
I sometimes accelerate when someone tries to pass me. It's not because I don't want them to pass, but because I realize how slow I'm going.
When people compliment my car, I don't know what to say, so I just smile.

Nope. Eurocuck keeps posting this like it means shit, even though some of the other Camaro models have faster lap times than the M2 and the M4

I purposely smoke out (rolling coal i think you yanks call it) every cyclist i see. I even slow down to let them catch up then drop it in 2nd to try and obliterate their lungs.

>I strongly prefer wagons to sedans
Isn't that normal?
I come to complete stops at stop signs.
I got a fine from the police for driving under the effects of alcohol, it was just some months after getting the driving license, so I got around 22 or 23 g, while for the 1st year it's only 15g, but I forgot about it, that's why I didn't wait more. I was with other 3 friends, but I have never ever told anyone about it, nobody else who I know irl knows it
im too poor to have a car but i still shitpost endlessly in here
cant even buy a used toyota becasue mom doesnt let me

when i drive at night if i see a car ahead i turn my lights off and get right up behind them and turn on my lights and fly past them. they usally brake and swerve. or flash lights.

I mention the last one because I was cruising home tonight and a camaro ss was behind me. When we got to the traffic light, as soon as it turned green, my passenger tells me he's glancing at me and then he floors it, only to slam the brakes because of the 2 cars blocking both lanes. I don't want to look like that.
>>14863851
It hurts
>>14864462
???? it didn't have gears in the traditional sense. It just revved to about 5500RPM and stayed there

my father bought a 13 civic hybrid cvt (traded in his 06 bmw 550i, i know dumb fucking trade) and he drives a lot to work everyday. he already has 73k on the car and he hasnt bought cvt trans fluid for me to change it yet so its still on original fluid. ive been making sure to change the oil every 5k with oem filters, changed the filters, will need brakes soon, on new tires and have a set of plugs ready for when they need to replaced. how fucked is he. i should of made him get a jetta tdi sportwagen. as he only gets 40mpg and the car is slow as fuck. my dd 2.4 camry literally blows its doors off. and the bmw was fast as fuck. he is not a car person.
>>14872554
73k miles on original cvt fluid is asking it to kill its self. I hope you mean non freedom units of travel. Any thing cvt is bound to die ask him about his rpms if he frequently goes over 4000 during normal operation (ie cruising and not hooning or on an incline) or if the car feels "stuck" in a "grear" your fucked
Never
Ever
Ever
Buy a cvt i can't stress this enough if a standard auto or 5 speed is available even if it's more expensive go for it cvts are unreliable slow and sloppy.

yes. 73k miles. and the worst part is my mother sold her 06 suburban for a pigfat 11 odyssey that now needs its timing belt changed. ive only ever done timing belts on audis so i am not familiar with japanese cars really except doing basic shit and a water pump on my camry dd

>my 02 camry has the 4 speed auto. flushed all fluids and did all the wear items except the chain and its going past 186k with no issues in sight.
I will have to talk to him . He usually ignores what i say and always thinks im trying to get him to spend the most money. Before i started doing all my work he did no maintenance what so ever. somehow his old 04 crv had 240k miles when he traded that in but it got rear ended twice so the frame was fucked up and it drove odd after the accidents. he drives 130 miles 5 days a week back and fourth to work. my mother drives 100 miles each day. her old suburban had 170k when it was sold and i always had a feeling the odyssey wouldnt last that long without some kind of failure of a major item.

Is a track really about getting there, filling up gas, and eating at nearby restaurants?
I've never been, but it sounds like people would see right through you and just not bother to share stories or ask deeper questions.

ive probably spend like 4k but i have more planned when i get a better job.
i will tell my mother too. she would actually understand what im saying and not just think im saying bs. i was against the cvt from the start. my first mistake was not going with them to buy either car. they really fucked up. when i was younger they had a 04 odyssey which they traded to my grandparents and at 170k the trans shit itself but they only paid like 1,5k to get a new honda one replaced somehow. but they just had the timing belt done and its at 207k and drives great. and the trans on the new van is a piece of shit too i just changed the oil on that today. it has very bad vibration and noise from the steering wheel even at 40mph. at 80 its awful. who knows how long that has been going on
>>14872945
not to mention that each key remote casing has broke for both cars. what piece of shit keys for shitty cars.
I've never owned a car that I've liked for more than a month.
I've never driven a car I've liked.

Those people are terrible. I once said I was thinking about turboing my car for shits and giggles, one friend laughed (it was a shitbox so the joke was apparent) and then another friend is all "you will need a new manifold, and an ecu upgrade and then you will probably fry your pistons and you will then need a new intake throttle body plenum injector carburettor engine gearbox...."
The worst part, I'm very knowledgeable about cars and engines, so every time something like this came up he would try and point out how he knew so much more and that pissed me off so I'd go deeper and take it further. Then he'd always respond with "yeah obviously, I knew that".
I can sit and talk with all my other car friends about any hypothetical or real situation and not have an issue. But this one guy, he just pushes that autism button inside me.
God damn I'm autistic/10

Bro you let them fall for the Honda meme 4 times

I am a shitty son i know. only thing i can do now is get them to dump the shit cars, except the van isnt paid off yet/
I cant park vertical
>>14873012
>Bro you let them fall for the Honda meme 4 times
There's a Honda meme? What is it? Reliability?
there are some things i've always wanted to do to a car, since like Gran Turismo 2, that have now caught on and im not sure if i should do it anymore because its just going to seem like im trying to fit in

Yes Honda automatic transmissions are shit even the manual ones are constantky needing syncros and the auto transmissions cant hold up to there anemic v6s torque and dont get me dtaryed on there hybrids and cvts...
>>14873017
With that kind if milage they need a corolla (any year with the 4 speed auto but not the 90sones with the oil burning problem) and a small size suv/waggon

>I still haven't changed them
I know about rotaries.
I'm looking for an rx8 to buy as a daily.
I'm going to Bridgeport it.
The first engine will die, but I will do all I can regarding heat, cooling and oil to prevent engine death.
I will then buy a 20b from a Cosmo and swap that in.
Confession? I'm fucking excited about it.
>>14873222
ayy lmao
anti seize on spark plugs
>>14873231
Porting a renesis is expensive and not easy
It is possible to make 260hp at the flywheel with exhaust, aggressive tune, larger injectors and stock intake manifold
Please don't kill a cosmo just for the engine. There are many 20bs floating around that have been in and out of different cars for years

Why does someone have to be conservative to be political?
I never understood the synonym between conservatism and /pol/.

long ago he had a volvo v70 cross country he loved that car but it was a lemon. not sure what was wrong with it. which was why i was thinking the jetta wagon tdi because that torque and the extra space. only thing is he hates a stick shift and says he has to have an automatic. makes no sense.
>>14873135
im gonna ask where the races at in real life and see what they do. my local group is full of people who have old mustangs, theres a couple people with honda crz cvt and shitty neons. really a joke.
>>14873151
that is another option. just find him old beaters that he can run into the ground. but that isnt the most reliable choice unless its something that isnt a pos
>>14873222
just a little. not so much that it goes into the piston.
I've been involved in a hit and run. Cyclist kept blocking me for no fucking reason on a country road. Eventually overtook him but knocked him over in the process. I slowed down, but saw him get up so I drove off. Nothing ever came of it so I have zero remorse.
>>14873996
i can see that you've never been to /pol/ (not that that's a bad thing) - it's the "politically incorrect" board. essentially, it's edgy 17-year-old white cucklords shitting on "sjws" and minorities. /pol/ is definitely a misleading name for the board, but it is certainly not a forum for all things political
I drive a w-body that's rusted to hell. I keep telling myself it's not so bad to make myself feel better.
I get too attached to things. Including my rusted W-body. And my mom's old Chrysler T&C.
I don't have enough confidence to wrench on an engine. Suspension I can maybe do, but I don't have enough confidence to work on an engine.
The most I've done on a car is oil change, brakes, and recently an ABS sensor.
I don't know how to drive manual.
I don't like speaking to other car enthusiats if at all unless they drive the same platforms that I do. I can speak to someone for hours about my experiences with a miata or an MR2 from repairing them or driving them, but when it comes cars that I don't give a shit or have zero experience with like BMWs or Hondas, I'm automatically expected to know every single variant of them which pisses me off.
>>14872342
Well I was flooring it. It worked fine otherwise. Had about 100k miles on it and driven hard.
Driving cars in city traffic makes me really nervous. Just something about being stuck in a box while other unpredictable cars and pedestrians swarm around me in a hurry.
On the other hand I can take a bike flat out all day and just have pure fun even though that's actually dangerous.
I know jack shit about cars. I don't even really like them. I just come here for the bike threads.
>>14865200
Pretty much. Can take a few days for it to be comfortable, but once you get the clutch/gas timing down you're good to go.
>>14875297
I own that same bike
>>14875670
I own a (crashed) MT-07.
I could strip down an engine to its bare parts, clean it, and put it back together again.
But if you asked me what that specific thing on the side of the engine is called I dont know what the fuck its called.
i tried spraying black ice spray in my vents and put my car into limp mode

Yep.
It's worse when they repeat what they're doing to their cars or what they want to do, or feel the need to bring up cars in every conversation.
