>>27662725They’re lifesavers. Most of the time you don’t know your battery is dying until it leaves you stranded. And like 30% of the time it’s because the battery drops a cell and goes to ~10.4V without warning and testing the battery health a week earlier would never tell you it’s about to die.For $50-$75 to have the thing in the trunk and be able to help save your own ass or help friends and family or even strangers, it’s not a bad buy. Even if it saves you once, that’s cheaper than calling a tow company to jump your car, and it’s cheaper than buying quality jumper cables that don’t take 20min to charge up the dead car.I’ve bought half a dozen jumper bricks for friends and family and they’re great. Even the Chinese ones have been lasting >5 years easily. The oldest one from 2017 or 2018 is finally starting to have a cell bulge a little bit.
>>27662689I've only got a 1.6lt little hyundai. I heard that the GB40's are good enough to start up 6 cylinders so I went for it>>27662675There is an override. Is it safe to leave the thing on override for more than 30 or so minutes latched onto the battery?
>>27662675Thist. fellow gooloo chad
>>27662462GB40's are trash and don't have enough amperage to overcome a completely flat battery that's sulfated itself to death. You need a Gooloo,see >>27662675
Glad to see all of you morons are finally realizing batteries basically last forever.Told ya so
What is the most nice colour?red maroon or blue?
It's a nissan versa who cares
none.
Blue.
>>27662884A dark blue. Even that Nissan looks good in a dark blue.
Car designs that aged like milk
>>27662479I kinda like it, but I guess I think any car looks cool when it's clean and taken care of.
>>27661097>>27661325What is this? Tape residue?
>>27661772Are you really dissing the design of the E39 zoomer? E38,E39,E46 are objectively seen as the last good designs that company put out.
>>27661772Needs more fake vents and wings huh you little LED loving ricer
>>27660789>>27660793grill looks like fence wire. chrome looks like plastic. headlights come from a truck. sticking it's ass out like a dog in heat. overall shit design.
A friend of mine wants a cheap sports car to impress women, he can spend 15k. I told him to get a mazda rx8, but he said it didnt look imposing enough. what would you tell him, /o/?
>>27661349>extended cab sports car
>>27661303>Friend wants a sports car>Recommends him a car thats not a real sports car, its a lifestyle car with sporty styling>Most people just call it a hairdressers car
>>27661338Muscles, like cars generally receive 99% of compliments from other men
>>27661303>but he said it didnt look imposing enoughHate niggers, not racist just don't like em
>>27661303He's right, women only care about the brand and the look of a car, so maybe he should buy an old civic, slap a bodykit and hellcat badges and paint it in matte or some retarded ass color niggers love, roasties will wet themselves and they would be none the wiser you're driving a layman level car
Who is superior?
>>27662644I prefer diesel, but I admit that gasoline is superior for a lawn mower and a chain saw
>>27661551>Who is superior?Provide context.
>>27661551Depends on application and how it was designed to fit that application.
>>27661915I have never had any issues at all running nu trucks besides having to fill up the def randomly even though I don’t need to stop for fuel. It is an afterthought and not fear inducing at all.
>>27661767True, my W211 diesel Merc has a 21 gallon fuel tank kek
>Most practical kind of vehicle you could buy in 2024>Is the single most humiliating thing you could be seen driving inHow do I get over the shame of owning a minivan? I'm pretty young and the thought of picking up a girl in one of these makes me not want to get one.
I'm honestly thinking about selling my Focus for a Honda FR-V with decent mileage (<100k). I could carry bikes inside and still seat 3 people in the front.
>>27660022What about a VW Touran? Seems to have a pretty versatile interior as well.
>>27659335>How do I get over the shame of owning a minivan? Buy a cheap one so you that way have money left over for a fun car for all the times when you don’t have to drive a minivan.Same premise as owning a beater pickup along with a fuel-sipping compact.
>>27659357Why did they stop making these? Perfect size to function ratio.
>>27659335I want a minivan but they are like $50k. At that point I would just get a used LS.
yeeeerp, they don't make em like this anymore
>>27661589Needs an opera window.

How retarded is this? My boomer dad is obsessed with trying to get me to buy shit like this because it's usually over 50% off. Pic related has been fixed to look brand new and has 10,000 miles, and is going for $18k. I however think this is fucking stupid and a liability. Anyone with experience?
>>27661797>fucking stupid and a liability. Anyone with experience?If it's fully repaired and not just nigger rigged there's nothing wrong with the car itself other than the title. It's not a liability unless you are overly concerned with resale value or insurance value.
>>27661797>Anyone with experience?Me and my friend import like 20 of this to the slavland so we bowling.We fix them in here and sell them. But you in Burgerland with Burgerland mechanics and prices...you going to be rape boy. Copart don't give a fuck, you never know what you buying, unless you check it. Body damage in new cars are tricky as fuck, all those cables modules. Without experience you don't know location of this shit in the car. Copart is gambling, but I'm in eastern europe shithool smoking malboro gold and you anon are in USA. Cars here are much more expenisive then in your country and sometimes even we don't make good money.
>>27662767So i don't know how ppl in US can make profit fixing those cars in US. Like here with much more cheap labor we often cut corners to make money. Sorry i don't answered the question in first post. I'm little drunk. If you ask me, slavland rebuild cars seller NO don't do it. Unless they show you what they done part by part. Show you picture of damage ect. Rebuild business is shady as fuck i know this first hand
>>27662742Sure, but to the average person this is literally a 50/50 no?
>>27662767>>27662782Thanks for the honesty. IMO I agree with you as far as modern cars and module/circuits and sensors. Even if it was fixed decently the cars computing system is going to re-fuck-ulate it somehow
im going to give a girl a ride to another town tonight. gonna be about a 1hr drive. What can i add to my passenger seat to maximize the odor absorption of this girl sitting on it for an hour? I already have cloth seats
by passenger seat I mean trunk
>>27662512Just ask her if she'd like to go for a couple of drinks before leaving and have her drink a lot. Then when she gets the urge to pee, tell her she can go on the seats, that you can clean it out later. Or if you prefer, keep an empty bottle and tell her to go in it and then close it tight and put it under the seat and you'll get rid of it later. Then you can taste her pee and pour it on you back at home
I feel like we have this "How to maximize female smell absorption" thread at least once a week.
>>27662512There's a way easier way.>go to store>buy women's parfume>spray onto any object>smells like womenCrazy, i know.
>>27662904Go back. >>27662512I think what you do is keep a towel in the boot of your car and have a few water bottles around. Something flimsy and plastic. If you're some sort of impressive person, have study notes in your passenger seat or something. Open the door for her and say "Sorry about the mess. I have to keep my mind on my dissertation. I'm glad you're coming out with me. I could use a good break"After you clear up the papers, strategically spill the water bottle in the passenger seat. Apologize and say "Here, I'll have some towels here for you"Make her sit on the towels and they will be very slightly damp, thus absorbing the smells of her crack and farts for later use.

>>27662807i wonder if the reverse works, would be kek to see at 13b in a mustang.
>>27657498do it, just add a voice over for what you're doing every so often, talk about what was hard/easy and your experience with it. I'd watch for sure
>>27662847okay, i stop working for the year in mid july, so i will have the rest of the year off to work on it, ill post on /o/ when i start.
>>27662855>i stop working for the year in mid july???
>>27662890i do contract work for half the year and take the other half off.
What made you stop driving recklessly?
>>27661249viofo a119v3they sell a hardwire kit with a selectable minimum voltage cutoff so you don't drain your battery overnight
>>27658292I went the opposite. used to drive leisurely but retards keep sleeping at green lights like they want to catch the next red. got fed up with it now I drive aggressively to pass you dumb fucks. never catch redlights anymore and so fuel mileage has increased actually
>>27658292I never did. When I was a teenager I read Aristotle and he said that a good life is also measured by a good death, which is a death that corresponds to the life lived, i.e. a warrior dying in battle.I realized that dying in traffic was the most pathetic way for me to go - I hate traffic, other drivers and the current state of highways - so I try to minimize the risks.
>>27658464Occasionally I will do for a highway drive about 1am on a weeknight. Such little traffic and no cops, it's the only time I can get higher than 120. Still haven't been able to reach 175 but I will some day.
>>27661626Thanks!
How to "Kwik Disconnect" A/T lines to radiator on 1999 Sable?I've got one of these but there is so much frame around the fitting I don't see how it can get in there, and I don't even see how I could get any wrench or socket on the nut unless I make a custom deep set socket with part of it cut out. Lisle 39660 Transmission Oil Cooler Line Disconnect Tool, 3/8" x 1/2"Some Youtubers have 1999 Rad Replacements and they say it can be done in little over an hour (by real mechanic) but they don't show how they get to the Kwik Konnect.Others on Youtube say 9/10 of these are no-go and unscrew the whole thing, but I can't see how that is possible.Do people just cut the tubing then patch it in later once new Rad is in place???I'm not understanding this pic.https://www.taurusclub.com/threads/...515/?post_id=3486955#lg=thread-354515&slide=4I thought the tool slips into the rad fitting to pop some spring or clip but this shows it down stream on the tube past the ridge.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
You can quick disconnect my cum from my balls ya bitch
i think you're supposed to compress the plastic things with the tool while pulling out
>>27661264Yes. Broke it lengthways then pushed the bits in both sides and pulled on the hose. Did my fuel line and return on my truck.
>>27661252I used the end of a hose clamp that I bent into an arch.And OP, get these.
>>27661138I have three or four different sets of those tools and always end up using my fingers or a cut up drink bottle or pen or whatever. Fingers mostly. You can shove a little meat in there or squeeze some deformation. Have you found a good pic of what youre up against?
retard herewhat does it matter if a car's seats are cloth, pleather, vinyl, or real leather?you can't feel it through your clothes (please don't go HURR DURR HE DOESN'T DRIVE NAKED)is upgraded/expensive leather seats just a scam?
>>27662072>all that sweat absorbed right into the seatplease tell me you clean it regularly
>>27662087Cooled/ventilated pleather seats have eliminated my swamp ass completely. It's not a problem anymore, but it used to be back in my miata days. Back then the naked driving was out of necessity. I just got used to the feeling.
>>27662045I throw cloth covers over my leather seats during summer. Best of both worlds. Also condition them twice a year and they are still 100% good as new 20 years later
THATS AUTHENTIC RED PLEATHER
>>27662045lol my ole black Merc would not only get to a billion fucking degrees, but the logo at the center of the steering wheel would blast you in the eyeballs with the sun so bad, I cut painters tape to fit over it
>look up what's different about the Roush ferd truck>starting at +19k above regular ferd price>standard package is literally just graphics, hitch cover, grill that says Rouche, chink tires, chink wheels, and chink coilovers I'm serious, look that shit up. 19k for graphics
>>27659778>didnt buy the ferd fteenthousandngmi
yep, scam for boomers and retards and posers. I remember back like a decade ago a guy at my old job bought one, me and my buddies would walk past it from afar and think it was supercharged. one day he parked a lot closer and we finally noticed it actually says roushcarged and the hood scoop was fucking fake. boy we fucking laughed and made fun of his ass for a while after.
>>27661226>boy we fucking laughed and made fun of his ass for a while afterIt was supercharged you idiot they rebrand Magnuson superchargers with their logo.
>>27661749it was a fake story anyway. i'm sure one of his coworkers 10 years ago had one but he never confronted him or made fun of him for it, he just seethed silently to himself when no one else was around and chuckled nervously whenever the owner of the truck asked him if he wanted to race.
>>27659848Yeah that's Saleen
Why does the average working professional making good money decide to go BMW/Merc/Audi or Lexus/Acura or even Genesis over Cadillac nowadays? Is it that Cadillac cars are inferior to their competition? Or is it that buyers view foreign cars as better status symbols?
>>27661177>not manuallol ok who fucking cares benchracer
>>27661675No BW wagon though
>>27661745Oh shit I didn't see that was a wagon.
>>27661846Yeah 60k for a sedan would be way highOne wagon w under 50k miles was $80k
>>27652348I like their sedans. The CTS V, ATS V, and all the new Blackwings are really desirable cars for me.
