Powershift posted:"B is for build" snuck back into my youtube recommended. he's rebuilding a totaled GTR So I saw one of his videos pop up under my lists on Youtube and ended up giving this series a watch, and oh boy is it bad. Like the metalwork he does for the wheel arches is terrible. I thought at first maybe this was a rough outline, and he would clean it up later, but nope. This is the finished product. He also fucks up an entire carbon fiber quarter panel by trying to paint it with rattlecan paint. His whole "build" is something else.

I just spent a few minutes looking for any Cummins for less and they all had over 200k, or salvage titles or a serious problem. One was more expensive and at 300k miles!

So first, sorry for the terrible picture. This is a new, Terrible Truck stuff that I've never seen before. A wide LED lightbar, mounted flush into the tailgate, on a lifted truck. The light bar was turned on and totally blinding. He had lower lights too, I imagine for reversing. Antisocial is one thing, being actively dangerous for other drivers is a new low. ![]()

I imagine that was the intention. I turned on my high beams in retaliation. I also finally was blinded by a Jeep with a roof mounted light bar, turned on around noon. I see plenty of them mounted but I've never seen one in operation.

Not cool to gently caress with someone's property, but the truck deserves a good steady stripe of rustoleum over that LED housing. The license plate LEDs sound like the unit I got when re-locating a rear plate from the stock location - it's pretty bright and can definitely bug people behind you. My solution was a strip of electrical tape over the top of the housing so the only light output went straight down. ![]()

I saw someone with something similar to that, but on the front of their car. It was similar in size to a license plate and was smack in the middle of their bumper. It looked stupid but I couldn't really get mad because it wasn't any brighter than a normal headlight, it just looked idiotic. By far the stupidest part is they had disabled/smoked the stock headlights. I guess they figured a single headlight in the middle was good enough? ![]()

Saturday I helped a friend borrow his father's truck by driving his car back home after he got the truck. 2015 Kia soul with the bigger engine (2.2?) and the six speed auto. This is after the fuel economy rebounded by 0.7 MPG after driving it at a normal speed in a normal fashion for maybe 1.5 miles: ![]() You really have to try to get that poor of economy out of a FWD commuter. I think he rarely does anything besides WOT or foot off the gas. Geoj fucked around with this message at 03:45 on Feb 26, 2019 |

Jesus. I got a tank of gas for like $1.85 a gallon last month and I decided I'd push it hard and see how low I could get the MPGs, I got tired of it almost immediately and gave up. I can't imagine living my whole life that way.

Geoj posted:Saturday I helped a friend borrow his father's truck by driving his car back home after he got the truck. Lot of time spent idling, probably. We had a pickup with a scissor lift in the back that had an average of under 2 mpg lifetime and maybe low 4 digits on the odometer. It spent its life driving to airplanes and then idling next to them.

I pushed a newer chrysler 200 to around half its rated mpg by doing nothing but my daily routine. Horray for 2 mile round trip commutes to work. Every week or so I take my mazda and just drive it to get the fluids hot. This accounts for around 75%+ of my yearly mileage.

I spend a shitload of time idling in the summer (delivery guy, black car, need a/c, I start during the slowest part of the day). My mileage drops into the high teens when I do that (normally ~25ish, 2.2L Saturn). Shrapnig posted:Giving a poo poo about gas mileage is the least AI thing of all time. Try driving 750ish miles a week and you'll start caring about mileage pretty quick.

There really isn't a better car to go such short distances in. And yes I know I should just walk instead.

I had a 1 mile commute to work and a 2-3 mile commute back home if I drove, back when I had an apartment near my office. For about two years, before our office got really big, I rode my bike along the 1-mile route. Then the site began to grow from 5-700 to 1500 employees and I was nearly run over by co-workers in the morning once I got onto the campus. They would all call into meeting is on their cell phones as they drove in. I stopped riding my bike after a few close calls. Now I live about 7 miles from my office which could be a nice ride if the first 3ish miles to the bike path wasn't either along some very busy roads or way out of the way... And quite hilly. Maybe one day when I buy an overpowered electric assist bicycle.

NoWake posted:Not cool to gently caress with someone's property, but the truck deserves a good steady stripe of rustoleum over that LED housing. I cannot find the product that this person was using, but it wasn't even close to the pictured light. It was literally a rectangular frame of high output LEDs aimed at traffic behind the car, not inward towards the plate. The light was so focused, it was like staring into the sun. The next day when I saw the brodozer with the roof-bar light, it was exactly the same sort of light output.

cakesmith handyman posted:Like, just flat-out a rear facing white led light bar? These guys aren't even pretending not to be colossal dicks these days are they? Right, just a brazen gently caress You. I was trying to think of a valid reason - like reversing in the dark forest, or maybe for tailgating parties or something. Forward-facing, ok maybe it's to help night time visibility and be a huge dickhead, but rear facing? Is there any valid need? The fact that it was molded into the tailgate means it's a product out there you can probably buy, so there must be a use-case for it. I guess. We get a lot of dickhead truck drivers here in FL but this was a new one to me.
