 Yes, that's a Jaguar hood ornament on a PT Cruiser.

Scruff McGruff posted:That makes sense, I assumed it was some sort of transport van but I didn't see any company decals on the sides like you usually see on those things (private owner I guess). My hope is that it had a temp plate but the back windows is so tinted that there's no way anyone would know. Grand Caravans are great though

I think the terrible car stuff happens about 30 minutes later when it's wrapped around a tree.

Gotta love BC; N driver with a car a smidge over the spec of the typical 4 cylinder fwd econobox other New drivers can barely control. ^^ 50/50 guess. There is an Indian kid up the street from me that is rocking a 2015 ZR1, N tucked in the back window. Edit: must be a sticker on there, the regular magnetic "N" wouldn't stick to carbon fiber too well. DefaultPeanut fucked around with this message at 08:57 on May 12, 2015 |

Speaking of China, I've read up on Chinese automotive history and I found a brand called Binzhou. Binzhou Automotive comes with a very interesting history, the town of Binzhou wanted to start making cars, and funded a car company. However, they couldn't get premission from the central government to make cars, only from the city government. This meant that the Binzhou cars could only be sold and driven legally in the town of Binzhou. All in all around 100 were made before the project folded. The cars themselves were a ripoff of another Chinese car, the Geely (the guys who bought Volvo) with a new front, which itself was a ripoff of the Daihatsu Charade. Glorious Harmony Car:      Edit: Binzhou town's other claim to fame is to be one of the two sources of the contaminated pet food during the pet food scandal of 2007. fish and chips and dip fucked around with this message at 09:11 on May 12, 2015 |

Speaking of malls. Spotted in the parking lot of one: There, I fixed it! Owner apparently lives in it and hates being cold because the interior was lined with thermal blankets too. Or maybe it's a mobile meth lab or something.

Beach Bum posted:The thing I always liked about manual was regulating acceleration not with the throttle, but with gear choice. As in, wanna go fast, let it rev. Wanna be a bit more sedate, change gear earlier. The throttle is off/on unless cruising or in traffic or whatever. I'm a control freak, I guess This is precisely why I like manuals - I used to love revving up getting on the interstate in my old 5 speed beater years ago, was so much fun. Being able to control what gear you're in and when, versus the car choosing for you, is way, way better IMHO. Plus it helps to know how to drive manual if you ever need to drive someone else's car, like I used to when I helped my brother at his auto shop. Just makes you look like a dunce when you hop in a car, see the stick shift and go "welp, dunno how to use that, sorry"

Modern DCTs allow you to be in exactly the gear you want to be in with millisecond-speed gearchanges, and have the added benefit of preventing you from money-shifting (because you are not a race driver). If it takes you more than 3 attempts to learn how to drive any stick at any point in your driving career, you took too many tries. It's really not very hard and 85% of the world's driving population has never driven anything other than standard transmission.

Manual transmissions are also apparently a great theft deterrent.
