Sudden Infant Def Syndrome posted:Am I missing something? Looks like your standard beater. I'm trying to figure out what's going on around the turn signal...the fender lines up everywhere else, and the hood lines up on the other side...what's actually wrong? Edit: VVV It seems like the fender and hood would line up in that case. They line up against the windshield. It's like the fender is too short.

front wing flexing posted:The one time I did in my life it was 0 degrees out with a loving whipping wind and I didn't have gloves on because I dropped them in my garage. I just wanted back in the car so bad. The first time I filled up my 02 Focus (something like 50 miles on the clock) it was in the low 20s, before the wind chill (and holy poo poo there was wind). The plastic was so brittle I broke the latch for the fuel door when I closed it.

In my sideview...what you can't see is the green Toyota logo on the grille, or the hole cut in the hood slightly right of center. I assume to feed cold air to a short ram, but I don't know where the filter sits on an old Tercel. The roof lights were what originally caught my attention. It was droning like gently caress too...can't imagine why.

Dizman posted:Luckily there is a SMALL group of actual car guys who own Corvettes out here who hate the typical Corvette guy. They've all modified their cars extensively, and include all types of cars in the meets they have. I enjoy hanging out with them but never ever ever will I go to an all Corvette meet ever again. That's how this other group was. A bunch of guys who enjoyed working on their cars, and enough who knew what they were doing to help those who didn't. It was just a cool car group who all happened to own Corvettes. Hell, they'd show up to meets in their other vehicles sometimes and nobody cared.

Throatwarbler posted:I don't understand this at all. If anything a Corvette should be the ultimate self-depreciating car guy car? It goes fast and handles well for not a lot of money and is just middle American values on wheels. A lot of them are dumb enough to think their C5/C6 is going to be as collectable as a C1/C2. So they have some kind of a smug fygm mentality...then there's the crowd that thinks these cars need a ton of chrome trim and gaudy loving wheels, but they're smug about whatever shitheap car they've done the same mods to since high school. gently caress those guys. I didn't buy a paperweight, I drive the hell out of my C2.

nm posted:When I was in Minnesota there was a guy who literally auto-xed the wheel off his 64 convertible. Losing a wheel is exactly the reason I got the fake knock-offs on my 66. The external hardware is exactly the same, but the spinner doesn't actually hold the wheel on, there are normal lugnuts underneath. Yeah I'd probably be fine, but I've seen more than enough pictures of what happens when one decides to escape (they tend to take large sections of fender with them). Aside from that, how did it do? I've had a morbid curiosity about auto-xing a car with no power steering or brakes.

Yeah those are actually really effective off the pavement. They're more stable than you'd think, and probably safer than the alternative. It's also available 12" taller.

Mcqueen posted:That's a fair point, but I would almost view the ring sticker as one that transcends the actual place and is almost more of a 'I enjoy racing', specifically road racing and more so the lifestyle of those who race on that road. I don't think its a coincidence you see the ring sticker mostly on VW, BMW, and Porsches. I laugh at Jeeps with Moab stickers and 20s. So yeah.

Measly Twerp posted:Oh come off it. That rear end looks amazing, what are you people seeing? If it looks anything like those renderings I'll move to the loving states and buy one. It looks like a proper car, not a wedge of plastic. I'm not going to lie...if it wasn't for those taillamps I might actually like it. If they were some kind of oval/circle and there was just a little effort to make it work (ie, get rid of some of the sharp corners stamped into the rear cover), I think it would go a long way. Aside from that rear end, I think the rendering looks awesome. That design looks fine on the Camaro...I just wish Chevy would stop trying to force it on everything else.

The angles are all different, the center console is wider, it finally doesn't share a steering wheel with the loving Cavalier/Cobalt, and everything's wrapped in cow...aside from the wraparound of the driver, what's the same that's not standard across every car?
