Darchangel posted:I'm sure there's a tradeoff somewhere - weight versus rigidity, etc. Probably would need a two sided swing arm for that wide, or a really serious single-sided. I'd be a little nervous driving something so small, low, and quiet, but I love how it looks Darchangel posted:It's an aesthetic, and a practical choice - where better for an air-cooled engine? More engines should be visible from the exterior of the car. A lot of people worked hard on those beauties, might as well show them off!

Nocheez posted:Am I the only person who thinks the CRZ was a horrible, horrible car not because it's bad, but because it's not good at anything? Meh performance, meh gas mileage, meh interior (and only 2 seats for some reason) and meh looks. It just doesn't fit into any niche whatsoever. I like the CRZ, I just think it's too big for what it is. Get rid of the fake back seats, shorten it ~12in, and I'm in

Darchangel posted:Oh, awesome! I'm trying to get my hands on a functional record player with aux or USB output to get a background noise-free file. Clear recording reasons aside, none of my Grandmas players will spin for more that 45 seconds before resetting the arm(?) and turning off, so I can't even get the needle past the first few grooves I don't even know what is on these yet, but analogue recordings of "random engine noises, possibly without commentary" is the most niche thing I've ever heard of

iospace posted:That is also true. Incandescent lights don't care about AC or DC power. They're just heating elements that just happen to produce light. My dad used to always say that, especially in the summer. Before we could turn on the A/C, we had to turn off every non-essential light. I always thought he was just cheap, but I guess he was also right On top of being cheap, anyways

Grakkus posted:In Europe at least, the 8 series are very desirable cars. The 840s are actually more valuable as they bring the same performance without having the terrifying v12 maintenance Personally I think they are awesome, I'd love to have one. They still go for ~$12k at the low end in the midwest, whereas you can get a 750il with the same engine for ~$3k. Not super desirable, but holding value pretty well for a car that no one remembers I love them, they're almost the Ur-90's sports coupe. I wish the pop up headlights would either be higher, like Porsches and Mazdas, or try to keep the lines of the car, like an Opel GT

KakerMix posted:Uhh where are you? Suzuki Carrys go for like, 150 bucks all the time. Unless you mean the vans then you better up that price buddy. By some more hundreds of dollars. Chicago The cheapest I've ever seen is $400 for the pickup beds. Of course, that's not including shipping, taxes, etc. Realistic price to get it to Savannah so my uncle can get it registered in the US is around $1700, otherwise I'd have at least 2 kei cars by now

InitialDave posted:The simple issue is likely just that there isn't a justifiable market for Honda to jump through the hoops of bringing one over, I doubt that there are that many people willing to pay what it'd cost for what is very much a toy car. I see the new FIAT's everywhere, so there might be a growing market for roadsters, but even if money were no object, I would have trouble justifying a tiny $32k toy like the S660 And hilariously small convertibles are kinda my thing

KakerMix posted:So spend ~6k or so on a Honda Beat! It's essentially the same size and HP as the S660. Because if I buy another hilariously small convertible, my fiance may actually kill me this time. I've wanted a cappuccino for nearly a decade, but for I must wait

Um, it's a van the size of a Chevy Sonic with RWD/4WD, the cab is over the engine and the wheels are under the driver. It's cool and unique.

I feel like the breaks to walk and stretch remind me of how awful driving long distance is, and staying in drivers' seat makes it easier to just accept the discomfort

On top of the initial brake stomp when I drive automatics, I also end up braking harder/later for the first couple minutes behind the wheel. Engine braking is wonderfulxzzy posted:I rest my toes on the clutch pedal too. I like to think I'm hovering, but.... I picked up that habit when I was installing an amp in my Capri. I had a live, 0 gauge wire coming off the battery with no protection other than the plastic fuse holder, sitting on my dead pedal for like 3 weeks while I waited for new locks. And it kept raining I wasn't going to finish my amp install when the trunk could be opened with just a finger, so I had a death-pedal instead of a dead pedal
