@facw shout out to the lady manning the phone at the motel 6 tho

@tophercrowder
I did my truck up as a hyper miler... Managed to do 15 mpg which is a 25% increase. Pics are on old oppo somewhere

Where did this happen? Many US jurisdictions will at least entertain claims for pothole damage -- this won't affect your insurance.

@Shoop I have a weird thing for Bugeye Imprezas because I owned one, but I completely agree that the Hawkeye Legacy wagon is probably my favorite Subaru design ever.....it still looks quite modern even today, at least to me...very pretty cars!

My local on ramp. Circled is a stop sign. Its at the bottom of a hill so cars are routinely doing 85 in a 55 there. What usually happens is a person goes, then the person behind trys to go and get into the same gap, then the first person stops and gets rear ended. Happens once a week.

@orneryduck frankly, for the same money as Max, you can just get cheap rockauto shocks and struts and cut a coil or two. We did that to a buddy’s Civic a few days ago and I swear (completely serious) it rides better than before.

@Shoop

Great color.

@ItalianJobR53 i should do a full sticker tour on her car lol

@іди-на-хуй-Влад-formerly-known-as-Distraxi its a genius tire deg strat

@Shoop Every time I see "battery acid restoration cleaner", part of my brain wants to assume that it's made from battery acid.

@Shoop because words mean things, and that is a wagon. Not saying it's bad, I'm saying give the wagon the recognition it deserves 😉

@flatisflat is saying "mini" in your bio too much too ask for?

@Shoop
It's a lovely colour and the red accents are a great contrast.

@3point8isgreat ill dry my tears with the extra 6k i saved.

@Shoop oh man, yes please! Go get one for meee!!!!

I bought my first helmet from Saferacer.com and I plan to go through them again for a new one this year. As others have said, go for SA2020 if you can, that’ll last you 10-15 years. Open faced is great, if you plan on getting serious you can look for one that will connect to a HANS device. But otherwise, a decent $200 helmet will do you fine.

@Shoop $12k! Thats as bad as air suspension failure on a Range Rover! Seriously, thats insane money!

@Shoop Wow, I didn't know they made red ones!

@Shoop Neat!

@Shoop
I can't bring myself to watch Wheeler Dealers, Mike Brewer is such an a-hole.
Much prefer CarS.O.S., doing up cars for deserving people, but also explaining about the make and models history and some engineering.

@Shoop sounds like it is a lot of fun with the manual so the trade off is worth it. I also like that the modern turbo cars have a much more usable powerband so it's not a fake HP/fun rating. Older turbos were sometimes only good at higher RPMS so of the line was sometimes a bit lame. Still would have loved one, back in the day where you had to add on a turbo timer.

@Shoop

The big skinny intakes, massive floor. They just look weird to me. And don't get me started on that disaster that is the Mercedes. At least the others look more like a proper F1 car.

or do you mean the Australian TCR? That might be on motortrend if you have their service

@Shoop FEAR THE CLOWNSHOES!! 607d5873-c8d5-4026-b450-4815eb60e52f-image.png d48071f9-3882-4d2a-b065-8a7ab405c8e5-image.png

@EssExTee said in 9005 high beam bulbs:

@Shoop my BMW was like that, cool xenon lows but warm halogen highs. When one of the highs dies I found some halogens that matched the color temp of the xenons.

My Mercedes was the same way, but it doesn't matter if the colour matches, because if anyone else sees you're highs you're headlighting wrong.

My Subaru has that setup as well. I've never thought about the difference in color but halogen and hid just look different regardless of color temp. So it seems like it would be too challenging to really get them to look the same.

@Shoop the blue fits right in

@ClassicDatsunDebate KGM·S2
Well i check the reg on the dmv site, then there are plenty of sites that will tell you the vin from the plate

@Shoop Clearly you need this upgrade:

@Shoop

Industrial parks in the wee hours of the morning seem to be good for this (if the five-oh ain't around).

There was a huge soccer complex parking lot by my old house that I'd regularly use for hooning it when there was a little snow on the ground. Good times!

@chariotoflove Just 5 Hail Uppus. One for each gear....now, go in peace.

Amen.

@gmporschenut-also-a-fan-of-hondas
My winter tires are 40 seriee while the summers pirellis are 35...i dont know if the better compound will make up for the lack of sidewall (-15%)

@shoop looks like you could use a couple minutes in the de-icer.

@shoop I've got a few of those marks too. The long coupe door is kind of a pain in tight parking spots.

@shoop Nice tire choice. What my WRX winters are. Didn't really get any use out of them this season though.

@shoop N? N! You're doing it right, my friend.

@qaaaaa Perhaps a big-money car "restoration" where he has purchased the vin tag to build a car around

@whoistheleader and in the stick ofcourse. Thats why it took 6 momths to come in

@shoop that is an old stapler!

@shoop

¡¡¡That's amazing!!!

@xsnowpig $1000 for my gf to learn the cat has a stomach bug. Tho i supposed thats the best possible outcome.

@shoop cheap Chinese tyres FTW!

@shoop Both

@shoop Dodge. If it was the new/facelifted Bentayga, I'd go for that, but the original is a bit unfortunate looking. Nice green tho.

@shoop I still remember the day I was walking and someone pulled into a parking spot next to me in one of these and kerbed the front wheel hard. What a sickening crunch. You could practically hear the dollars cascading onto the ground.

Welcome to the party! They're a ton of fun.

@jminer Hydroboost? Yeah, looks like it

@shoop Damn! Ice freaking sucks. I hate black ice. It seems to come out of nowhere!

@whoistheleader well, 10 years or 100k, then comes the tuning.
But i think youre in luck, every one i pursued sold almost immediately.

@shoop I'm over the bullying. I've never found bullying funny, but having two big dudes bully a small dude just isn't entertaining.

I want "fuckering lights" for my arcade now....

@shoop

It's a Hyundai Tiburon that someone molested.

@notsomethingstructural hello friend!

@vajazzlemcdildertits I used to, but his sanctimonious vantage is too thick for me anymore.

@shoop The combination of the blacked out tail lights AND deeply tinted windows and windshield is the automotive equivalent of covering your eyes and exclaiming "you can't see me!"

@flatisflat
Flat is not flat

@sony1492
Jaguar don't make a ute....do they?

@flatisflat alfas are a like camrys out here.

@beefchips More reliable that way

@shoop Faired better than my last one.
