Linedance posted:People were suggesting that the only reason to buy a Prius over a Civic hybrid is for a conspicuous display of status, and you're saying that buying a badge engineered VW for a lot more money isn't, and I'm the one who's out of touch? Have.. have you ever shopped for or sat in an Audi? Are you including the entire line? Do you think VW sells comparative products? I don't think VW sells their version of my wife's A7 (Unless there's an uber CC out there with a hatchback and OHGODWHYAMIEVENTRYING). Call EVERY Audi badge engineered if you'd like, but you're wrong. Platform and parts bin sharing don't equate to "Same car, fancier badge, higher price." You're dumb. eyebeem fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Nov 19, 2014 |

As someone who likes and builds Audis and Volkswagens..... Linedance is unfortunately correct. Calm down and post terrible car stuff.

jesus loving christ will you spergs stop arguing over dumb poo poo and post awful car stuff, not awful poster stuff? there are at least 4 awful things in this one, see if you can find them. the welds on his "truck nuts" his "truck nuts" putting a D-ring shackle in a trailer hitch ball drawbar is really not that safe that's a dana 35 in an XJ with oversize mud tires on it. No excuses, an 8.25 swap costs like $150 all in.

Not something I'd ever build/own but I can't hate on it more than the shitpile with "truck nuts." When tuner kids discover offroading, you get jeeps with ground effects.

Honestly if rednecks have to have "truck nuts" I'd prefer they do this. I find some random large metal hardware strung onto a length of chain infinitely less offensive than an anatomically correct flesh-colored scrotum hanging off the hitch receiver.

veedubfreak posted:Is there anywhere outside of CA that even has hydrogen filling stations? There was one in Rochester, NY. Had an explosion a few years back while a tanker was refilling the station. Driver got 3rd degree burns, only other injury was the drive through attendant at the burger king across the street, who got some ear pain. The station resumed function in a few days if I remember right.

Dannywilson posted:A couple pages back but: I know, I've posted that because it's completely out of place in Poland on a regular car. The only stickers you see on cars is those stupid "Watch your mirrors, motorcycles are everywhere". Content:    It's well made, look like a factory option. The driver was an attractive blonde woman. She obeyed road laws, etc. My only gripe is that it reflected sunlight as you imagine. It wasn't even particularily sunny that day.

I saw an amazingly lovely bro truck last night. Unfortunately it was to my left so my dashcam didn't get it. It had at least a 2 foot body lift with what I'm guessing were 22" wheels and around a 45 series tire at best. They were also roughly 10" wide wheels. Mall crawler indeed.

Like the idiot in the sound dampening escalade who's blasting music and barely paying attention to road is going to hear it, or even be able to tell where the noise is coming from. Maybe in the 90's that was valid Bikers just like the loud pipes. There's no shame in admitting that you like engine noise, just don't pretend that you're doing it for safety

Flashed my lights at him a couple times then stood on the throttle to pass him so when he inevitably hits something I wasn't in the path of destruction. Should have cart blanche to put a 45 through their engine block if you catch someone texting.

A round with greater energy, such as .338 LM, would be better suited to disabling a motor vehicle.
