Coming from a KIA K4. Bought this 2007 Camry XLE as a 2nd car... Holly shmolly, this thing is smooth like butter. The chairs are made from true leather. Comfy as hell. Engine doesn't sound. No sound find, 0 sound. Looks like an EV. I don't wanna get back to that K4.I love this reliable immortal shit made hell's 8th circle.
>>28948612Ive had 3 and the Lexus version (I travel for work).I take them to about 400k miles then get another one with about 100k miles and do it again.
>>28948621Mine has only 120k miles. I spent today 600 bucks in the front suspension to get it straight. And God knows if it was worth the cost. The riding was funny and soft.Bought it for 3500$. Best investment of my life.
>>28948612reddit is that way
Oh sweet another low standards , shit tastes thread
>>28948628C'mon anon... It's 3500 bucks car!!! What taste do you spect?

Say you're driving in 4th gear and begin to approach a stop sign. Should you:A. Lift off the accelerator, remain in 4th gear, pop to neutral shortly before coming to a complete stop.B. Decelerate while downshifting through 3rd and 2nd gears before coming to a complete stop. C. Pop into neutral and coast/brake to a complete stop. D. Other.
>>28947043A or B depending on how I feel.C is for girls and fags
>>28947051Fuck off Brandon you haven't had a stick shift in years.
>>28947043Just buy a car from this century lmao. It's not worth it to have to shift every 10 seconds just for the off chance someone might think you're cool when you put it in the wrong gear to make a loud noise. We know that's the only reason you fags cling to tranuals.
>>28947043Downshift all the way because I'm on a motorcycle
>>28947043Legally in the US you are to downshift through the gears until you come to a complete stop and not move with the clutch disengaged, ie "coasting", more than about a car length. The transmission is not to be out of gear ever on public roads. Nobody actually does that but thems the rules. For me, when coming to a stop sign I'll downshift if necessary but declutch close to the stop but always leave the trans in gear until stopped and then pop it over into First so there's no waiting for the synchros like you would need to if you coasted in Neutral with the clutch out. Yeah, it's only a second but that's an eternity at a stop sign. At a red light where I think I'll be stopped for while I'll throw the trans into Neutral and coast in. Once stopped I'll monitor the light and be sure to get in gear before it's my turn to go. If the light goes green before I'm stopped I'll just throw it in whatever the appropriate gear is for the speed and continue on.
The true main reason The Ford Nucleon wasn't put to market is because it would immediately bankrupt the Fuel Industry,but they could've easily transitioned into maintaining and taking care of complex nuclear equipment normal people didn't know how to IMO.
>>28947731Nobody talks about stable normal uranium. Imagine radioactive uranium in car that has been forgotten for over 50 years, rotting next to some creek
>>28947257What the fuck are you talking about?? Of COURSE it has shielding, or it'd kill everyone at the factory and during the transport of it. You fucking retard. Do you even hear yourself? The ones that kill people that you're thinking of is when people find abandoned soviet-era RTGs and remove the shielding for scrap metal
>>28943192Russia built 12,000 nuclear reactors to build signal stations and shit in the middle of nowhere.They've never been maintained or even guarded. They've killed a fair number of curious or theiving folks.Feel real good about that, and want some for your city?Ok now do that with cars.
>>28944980As a child of the 80's... yeah. REAL yeah.
>>28947953>soviet union>it didn't kill everyone at the factory and during transportI refuse to believe you. I know all about Mayak.

is there even a new truck that’s worth buying in 2026?the last diesel truck left is the silverado…
Mogs youOut torques youOut tows youOwned by a successful business ownerand it depreciates slower
>>28948402Not the obvious answer.You can't take this one to Quickymart without demolishing stuff
>>28948392>Will there ever be a truck that is worth anything?Not in the USA. Gen 2+3 Ranger/Mazda B, Nissan Hardbody/OG Frontier, OG Yota pickup and first two gens of the Taco ran too well and lasted too long. We get goymobiles with exploding turbos and pistons made out of slag now, and the interior needs to be big enough for an obese family of five. You'll get 150,000 miles and like it.
>>28948392Yeah there already are. The 40s power wagons are $2-350k right now. As a first gen Cummins owner I think those trucks will be $100k restored within a decade. Blazers and Broncos already are but they're not really trucks tbqhwy.Hi-boys got close but the market realized it was a bubble and you can buy a damn nice one for $50k that would've been 80 during covid.

Obviously in similar cars someone who knows how to drive would prefer the RWD one.This was just a scripted "sensible car advice" segment about how "RWD is dangerous."Yes, it's very easy to spin out a light RWD in the rain, what's new?

>>28946897There's enough trannies around to revive the dale and all the engineers who worked on it claim it's still viable make it happen
>>28942807You'd be using more gas at that speedIdeal gas efficiency is reached at 65mph+The slower you drive the higher the fuel consumption
>>28947266you are retarded
>>28947266nop
>>28947266Wind resistance scales exponentially with your speed. Once you go over 60 you're hitting a ton of wind resistance. 55 is more optimal unless you're slipstreaming.
Why do Indians like driving Stellantis particularly Dodge and Jeep?
>>28945295Diminished IQ thanks to centuries of inbreeding. /thread
>>28945295I've never seen Indians in anything but Toyotas or Hondas.
>>28946203>They may be the least discerning buyers on Earthall they want to do is get what they perceive to be a good deal
>>28948337the rich ones buy Mercedes and Tesla (never one of the expensive models, base trim e-class is where they top out)
>>28948340>TeslaI've seen Indians driving Teslas but only as Uber Comforts, not as their actual car. Literally never seen an Indian in a German car before though.
Guys I have not done this before. I am currently welding up an OBS truck that I fixed up (replacing fucking everything but the engine and trans)This thing was terminal, it was not really supposed to be saved. But I did it anyway. The whole back of the cab was rotted at the bottom, from cab corner to cab corner. Most of the box exterior panels are bondo-rust aggregate, sprayed with the wrong shade of Dupli-Color.I cannot just use touch up spray with this thing, it needs a whole coat.How do I make it look like this again? Will NAPA be able to color match? What products do I buy and how to apply them? All these paint tutorials are either a guy doing a rattle can job, or a guy doing some crazy $8000 pro job.I cannot find a video of a guy just trying to redo a factory job in a cost effective way for less than $1000...
>>28947527Yeah, fuck you and I hope you failAnd no, I'm not that guy. I have an OBS ferd myself.
>>28947906Well then suck my cock, NIGGER
>>28947524>"im really.good at painting"While also>"I need tutorials on painting because I dont know what im doing or equipment requirements or brand quality or even what the proper names in a paint setup are"Goes hand in hand with using the term OBS.Dont have any actual knowledge so you just make up shit your own mind recognizes and think just because you used a rattle can without runs youre now a painter.Imagine someone getting an apprentice mechanic job and he starts calling connecting rods "piston legs" when ordering parts.This world is fucking doomed.
>>28948067ur retarded im trying to find out what products to buy, every paint company says they are the best, i have no way of knowing what is good without1. asking people2. painting several vehicles myself to test different productsyou are tarded
>>28946438>Nope. Doing it myself.Absolutely not worth it for a single vehicle once you factor in buying the necessary compressor, gun, hoses, lines, miscellaneous air-handling equipment, build a booth (including exhaust management) trial paint of the same type you'll be using, and so on. Good results require good, correctly laid out equipment (no water! no oil!) and experience.>inb4-guyz I totally shot a car in one evening with a pancake compressor and spray gun made from a windex sprayer and it looks like factory! They did not.

>>28945932>American cars from the 60’sThis thing is basically from the 60’s, and it’s American, so I think it counts. Whenever something goes wrong, I can usually fix it for $50 or less and everything is easy to get to.
You are letting your children steer, right? If you're on an empty road free of obstacles, let them keep it steady Prepare them for the future. Get them a Power Wheels, you have the $300 to spend at Wal-Mart or just check Facebook Marketplace.You're not just sending them off to the test retarded, are you? That's dangerous, especially for the drivers that will share the road with your spawn.
Literally no one has trouble operating a steering wheel

Talk me out of making bad financial decisions.I just got rid of my 883 Harley about a week ago, and I’m looking for another bike.I’m thinking about getting a Ural, CB750, or an early 80’s dirt bike. The problem is I have too many options and I get stuck in analysis paralysis. Please help, anons.
>>28945924Maybe see what's actually available in your area first.
>>28947655NTA, but I want one because I can fix it cheaply and in my backyard.Also the drive shaft + sidecar should allow me to drive during the 15 days of snowing, we have here.
>>28945924Get an xjr1300 they are stupidly cheap and amazing bikes.
>>28945924>The problem is I have too many options and I get stuck in analysis paralysis. Please help, anons.No you don't, there's just one clear choice here, the Ural.
>>28945924Get the cb750, just don't be shocked about the difference in torque. The CB is brilliantly simple, cheap to maintain, reliable as a hammer, very few parts in total, comfy UJM riding position, and you can customize the hell out of them. Urals seem neat but I can't imagine the hell you must endure for parts let alone upgrades.80s dirt bikes aren't the best, if you really want a rocket on the dirt road spring for a late 90s/early 00's Honder. Imho, get that CB750. Shaft driven or a 99 nighthawk chain driven one is great either way.

>>28945170I took a lessons on a Sunday morning in the eighties.Cost about 50 quid total. It became a thing where we would have a Sunday drive and I would just go where I wanted and comment on the navigation.Dude told me to wait for the test because I could drive.Nailed it.Driving is difficult when surrounded by people that didn't learn to drive where they came from.Pic similar to car.
I just got to drive for a couple of years and never at night because of complications from RP.I miss it so much, guys.
I failed my practical once for a stupid fuckup and had to wait a month for another shot. Every time I look at my licence issue date it's a permanent blemish.
