I made a previous thread in the regular Misc about getting the engine for this thing here: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=178032701 I figured the rest of the thread would be better here for the guys that actually have an active interest in cars. I ordered the kit last year on...

Why is no one allowed to suggest that maybe...just maybe the dude is only so good because Mercedes has such a beast of a car? His entire time with Mclaren, he wins one championship and one second place. The other 4 years he places 4th or 5th. Suddenly he goes to Mercedes and is world champion in...

hut the **** up. Watch. Listen. Observe and absorb. Shut the **** up. Do as your told. Be aware of your surroundings at all times. Shut the **** up. You're nothing to us even though you're rocking that top rocker. Shut the **** up. You have to prove to us that you're worth being a brother in our...

Seeking some expert Miscer analysis...

Watched a few videos and it looks pretty simple. I'd like to learn how to do it and build a set up in my garage. Anybody actually doing this themselves? Wanting to do some pieces on my car and would like to make some money on the side. GwGEH7f1eiw 5iUCpAELhl8

Went to a meet this weekend. Leaving out some bikes wanted to have a little fun. I dont think they were expecting me to hang ;) I lifted before he did, but I had just a bit on him. Guy had a heavily modded gsxr1000. He was talking to me earlier but I had no idea they were going to...

Budget: $30,000 Must haves: FWD or AWD (live in Illinois) Sedan, I want the 4 Door space for family reasons Looking for something that is a bit of "entry level luxury" if that exists. 2018 year and up. Not planning to modify anything. Some beef and power would be appreciated but not...

My son and I enjoyed another car weekend. We went to our small local meet at 730 and then rolled as a group of 5 up to the koenigsegg dealer (who is also our McLaren dealerships and one of the largest general exotic dealers in the country. They were putting on an event revealing the gemera and...

Seriously guys how can one become an F1 Racer and actually compete in the 24 Lemans?

I was interested in the new Frontier until the price was revealed. There is no benefit over a Ram 1500 when the prices are only a few thousand apart. Now Ford comes along with a unibody 'compact' truck. They say it starts at $20k and will start selling late 2021 or early 2022. Ford has been...

Are there any YT'ers that just rub you the wrong way? For me it's Shmee150 and Vehicle Dbags. Just can't stand these type of youtubers that buy supercar after supercar. It's not just these two, but all these YT that buy million dollar super cars and **** they're just so fake, but I guess they...

I come to you wise misc, for advice. Please steer me clear of all the pitfalls of purchasing a car. My old car is slowly dying, id be shocked if it lasted another 6 months. So I do have some time on my side to make a good purchase. My situation: - 800 credit, no debt, 40k max spending limit...

Whats going on fellas? Pretty much it is as the title states. Was going to drive cross country in a few weeks and my tires now have tons of mileage on them. Was looking to completely replace the entire set. My main question is how would I go about doing this in regards to getting the best...

God damn with the new Bolt coming GM certainly is cleaning out current inventory at a loss: https://slickdeals.net/f/14894620-2021-chevy-bolt-for-4600-one-pay-in-california-4600 That's $128/month! Certainly your experience may vary.

Chrysler was asked by the tribe to quit using their name. The best ideas I've heard so far are the Rambler, Laredo, and Caliber.

When you see a dog mom (or gay) let their dog run wild inside their car, scratching the door panels and seats all to hell for the next owner?

see title boyos - going to be picking up a vehicle for work travel soon. Would like something 25+ mpg, around $25k, trips usually 1-3 hours. AWD is a plus. what are you brahs driving?

Not sure if anyone knows about CNC Motors out in Southern Cal, but they're a pretty large exotic car dealer that had crazy expansive rare cars and other super and hyper cars. But I guess since the Pandemic hit, everything went to chit, and the owner was doing some shady chit to recoup all the...

I have a 2006 Tacoma double cab 4x4 TRD Off Road. It was in the body shop for repairs after an accident. I was given a 2020 F-150 supercrew XLT with the 5.0L V8 for a week. I loved everything about it like the room, ride, power, and sound of the V8. It even got the same gas mileage as my...

So Chicago has regular sales tax on their cars, but get this, they also charge a 9% "lease tax". Meaning you pay tax twice on the car. I would've really liked to lease a mid level bmw or audi but now, that seems out of the question. I just can't stomach the idea of paying a bs tax because...

Used car prices are stupid so Carvana is offering me more than what I paid for my C7 after 1 year and 7k miles so I'm thinking of changing it up. I like the Vette but the build quality seems poor - have dealt with a few rattles and squeaks that have needed fixing already. Figure it's only going...

150k miles on my 06 GM V6 In the last 12 months I've done the following myself - Alternator - Drive Belt - Oil Pressure sensor - Battery - Double platinum spark plugs
