 We've reached peak hellaflush. This has to be the peak. Also it makes the exact awful clunking and creaking noises I'd expected it to make. Delightful.

some texas redneck posted:Post terrible parking jobs Guy did that at the petsmart by my house. Pulled into the crosshatch zone in front of the store, hopped out and walked inside, left it idling. Plenty of other open spots around, so it's not like he was inconvenienced in any way. Soooo I locked the doors with the engine running and then called the cops on an illegal parker. I was parked in the spot next to the empty disabled spot, and as I was getting ready to back out, he came out, grabbed the door handle to try to open it, and then looked up and locked eyes with me. I'm not sure if he put two and two together, but I didn't hang around to find out. Serves the bastard right.

Wasabi the J posted:A good write up of what the gently caress you're looking at. I am just learning how to work under the hood, so I was just as confused as the author as a child. That is the most apologist article I've read in a long time. Listening to how he describes the most rear end-backwards engineering decisions as "advanced for it's time" is just comical.

IPCRESS posted:Burnouts. Yeah, but the Tore-rear end is front wheel drive, so it really makes no sense at all. Wait, I just figured it out. The large tires rub when he puts the caravan on the back of it because he's got too much tongue weight on it. That's my best guess.

murphle posted:Nah, that thing looks halfway decent. The disconnected sway bar on the street is a minor sin, and if the driver is used to how it handles it's not that big a danger. Most people have no real concept of how stable or unstable a lifted truck might be, and tend to think a stiff wind will tip over anything lifted above stock. Pretty sure it's all just standard Rubicon Express parts. My buddy had one with pretty much exactly the same pieces - right down to the quick disconnect sway bars. The only thing that could probably be done differently is welding the panhard mount to the body, but nothing that bad.

Modern direct injection is pretty sophisticated, why not adapt that to the rotary engine? From what I understand, one of the big emissions hurdles with the 13b was the overlap caused by the PP exhaust port and side port intakes. The Renesis engine fixed that by moving both exhaust and intake ports to the irons. If they put DI on the engine, they could go back to the PP exhaust port design, reducing carbon loading issues and making it more exciting, no?

TWBalls posted:As someone that works in San Ramon, CA (The Blackhawk museum is only a few miles from here), this doesn't surprise me in the least. I've been working here for 6 years and have seen at least 4 (Well, 5 now if you include this video) different occasions where some dildo has managed to jump a curb and crash into something. I knew I recognized the area! My buddy had actually invited me to the cars and coffee this weekend, however I had to go out of town for work. Where in San Ramon do you work?

re: PT chat, one of my coworkers wife had not one, not two, but THREE PT cruisers  . Consecutively. Over the course of 12 years. A normal gutless one, then a hi-po turbo, then her knees got too bad for the clutch, so she chopped it in for an automatic turbo.

HEY VAPER posted:typically you do SOMETHING to stop them from moving side to side, whether it be hose clamps, welding tabs onto the bar etc. and this only stops the harness from moving side to side on the bar, the harness will still slip off his shoulders without a seat that has pass-thrus. the guy talks about how it chokes him out when he turns sharply in the facebook thread i pulled that from. he also ignored everyone who told him its a death trap and kept whining about how he only wants to hear comments about the aesthetics. oh also its a street car. You follow the R3V fb group, too? It's a cesspool of stupidity and retardation. Sometimes I wonder why I still follow it.

Throatwarbler posted:I'm probably going to pull the trigger on a used Chrysler 200. You know how you guys hate how modern car options are all bundled together and you can't get just the features you want without a sunroof and automatic transmission? Well Chrysler has you covered. On the 200 the loving AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL is an alacart option in every trim level excet the top. The car im looking at has keyless entry, bluetooth, and a touchscreen, but no auto climate control, however because it has a touchscreen it doesnt have a seperate knob for the blower, so to adjust the heat, an ungraduated slider with red and blue on either side shows up on the touchscreen and you swipe it up or down, like a virtual version of the resistor type blower control on a 1980s economy car. Somehow this was cheaper than just giving every car auto climate control? This car has the 5 inch screenbut its apparently possible to get an 8.4 screen with manual climate control too. At least you're posting in the right thread.
