Could you blue it and then clear over it? I don't see why not but I'm not sure how well clear would stick...

Hey, if the house blew away, collect the insurance and sell the lot to get even more money. Loads of people did it up in Northwest OKC when it blew away and made off like bandits.

Powershift posted:Yeah, but it doesn't really matter, most caprices out there will likely be the 3.6 V6, the same as the last gen impala. I don't think i've seen a single hemi charger police car, they've all been v6s. I know lambo doors are overdone and terrible, but I actually really like this. Everything looks pretty well done, with the exception of the VatoZone fog LEDs under the front bumper. I'm also glad it isn't matte. I'd also tint the windows darker. As long as it's as fast as it looks like it should be, I think it's in the wrong thread.

I'm going to go ahead and be the guy that says it's okay to do that with a nice car at the rear end end of the (almost empty) parking lot, and double parking is one of the things that irrationally infuriates me the most.

My usual response to "I'm don't wear seatbelts." is "You do if you're going to ride in my car." That said, everyone I hang out with these days wears them anyway. edit: Buckle up your beer, if you have to make an emergency stop it'll fall on the floor and get all foamy!

When I worked at an unnamed auto retailer with an orange sign that wasn't Advance, at least once a week we would have people come in and buy those little round bubble stick-on mirrors to replace the broken/lost glass from their wing mirrors. It was almost enough to make me wish I lived in a state with vehicle inspections.

I'm not exactly a VW guy, but aren't the rear wheels on this cambered that way because of the way the rear axle is designed? A swing axle or whatever? If the guy were all about "stance" wouldn't the front wheels be equally cambered? Don't get me wrong, with the lovely roof rack and douchebag stickers the guy is clearly a twatwaffle, but not because he drives a slammed bug.

The best part about that Lexus is that at some point some designer put his pen down on the table and said "Yeah. That looks awesome. People will definitely want to buy it!" The same goes for that pink piece of garbage above, but replace "designer" with "custom car builder"

xzzy posted:The ugly doesn't even stop with that grille, if you look at the other angles it's hideous all over. The taillight sculpting even extends to the gas cap, creating a random seam in the plastic.. it just seems like bad ideas on top of bad ideas. Oh god i didn't even look at the other images. What the hell kind of meth was that design team on? It seriously doesn't look good from any angle. Even the interior looks like something a 17 year-old would slap together just so he could say he had a custom interior. I should use it in a presentation on ethics of engineering, something about crimes against humanity.

How do you feel about a partial debadging? I'm thinking of taking off every emblem other than the Mazda "M"s and the "M-Edition"s on my miata. Or maybe only keeping the "M-Edition"s.

Check your local laws, but in some places construction companies are liable for damage caused by debris in active lanes of traffic, they (or possibly the property owner) might be required to reimburse you for the tire. I didn't take any pictures but I have a terrible car stuff story: I was driving a company van for work at about 70mph down a mostly level rural two-lane highway when my right-rear tire blew out. It was my first ever blowout, I knew it wouldn't be like the movies where the van exploded then flipped into a ditch, but was surprised at just how unstable it became. I pulled over, out of the lane but still on the pavement, emergency flashers on, and began the tire-changing process with the lovely factory scissor jack at the recommended jacking point. I checked! I emphasize that because right as I was putting the new wheel on the lug studs, an 18-wheeler went by close enough and fast enough that the loving van fell off the jack. Yes, the brake was set. I don't know if it works, but it was set. Fortunately the wheel stuck on one of the lugs when it fell and got cocked sideways, so all I had to do was lower the jack a bit and finish putting the tire on, but watching that van lurch while I was lining up a wheel was definitely at least terrifying car stuff.

The next exit was about 10 miles away and the tire was a shredded wreck by the time I got stopped. I will proudly state that the right edge of the tires were less than two inches from the edge of the asphalt. The left side was two feet to the right of the yellow line. In the future my plan is to call AAA and let them change it for me, or tow the van to a tire shop and call the office. I'm paid hourly anyway. It was doubly annoying because it happened on Friday, not even a week after the Sunday I spent 30 minutes (I was told it would be an hour) on the side of the road waiting for a surprisingly quick and friendly tow truck driver to tow my miata home with a broken timing belt.

That's true, and I've experienced that shockwave both on motorcycles and in the miata with the top down. I just never thought it would be strong enough to push a van off of a jack, even a lovely scissor jack. I guess the van just had enough surface area for the wave to move it. It also reminded me of the first time I ever used a scissor jack, which managed to raise the tire exactly zero inches off the pavement before collapsing into a heap of twisted garbage. Which is why I was careful to be as clear of the vehicle as possible while changing the tire. It was still terrifying.

I'd never had roadside assistance before about four months ago when my grandma got it for me for my birthday. I would have used it for the van tire change but I had plans later that night and didn't want to spend all night waiting for some guy to drive out into the middle of loving nowhere to change a tire when I could do it myself in fifteen minutes.

I'm very anti-vandalism in general, cars especially, but threatening to crush someone's skull with a bat is also pretty much never okay. That isn't to say I wouldn't be tempted if I was holding one and caught someone in the act.

I say paddles on everything. Even if you only use them to tick between PRND it's more fun than a knob and less intrusive than any sort of lever and easier to use than a touchscreen or buttons. edit: This is terrible car stuff because paddles are terrible.
