Previa_fun posted:The Camaro is so ugly and gaudy anyway those wheels don't really hurt much. I agree. Donking a modern Comaro is just how its supposed to be done. With the bloated beltline and everything, big tires just make it look better. It's one of a handful of cars that just seemed made for it. (What I'm trying to say is that the new models look like Matchbox toys. To me, the proportions are wrong to begin with.)

Florida has no inspections at all, as far as I'm aware. One year, I re-registered a Chrysler Fifth Avenue that was in "limp home" mode. I did it all online. Drove that ugly bastard for 8 months in second gear.

CommieGIR posted:This is all over the South, and a good half of the time its some dead infant, how do so many infants die in the South? I wasn't going to comment on this after the first picture, but your response points out something terrible. Yes, the south, and any Republican state in general, skimps on health care and child care. Once you take your new infant home, all bets are off. Did your baby catch a cough? gently caress off. Oh, your dear little one has a genetic condition? gently caress off. Oh, you both lost your jobs and can't feed your baby? gently caress off.

djdanno13 posted:Um half of those states are democrat controlled while besides California and new York the other blue states are republican controlled. Maybe, just maybe, it's related to poverty and poor education that have been endemic to the south since the end of the civil war. Thanks for trying to divert a car thread into politics chat dick face. Sorry. It's just that almost every family I grew up with lost a baby at some point in time. The south has serious issues with infant mortality, even among the well-to-do.

Spend some time going from person to person looking at them in detail, it's really quite interesting to see the different levels of enthusiasm. My personal favorite is the guy all the way on the right who looks more like he's about to salute Hitler than raise his hands like the rest of them. The guy in the blue tie is DEFINITELY not amused by PR bullshit.

falz posted:2001? My 2010 Elantra is nothing to write home about (plastic motor, plastic transmission, plastic brakes, plastic everything). But, I did drive a 2013 while having my engine replaced under warranty and THAT'S like driving a very good Honda. It was cushy, responsive, and yet grounded to the road. It had strong AC, a good entertainment package, and nice seats. It was, overall, a very good car. I've also heard very good things from a coworker about her brand new Veloster. I don't know. I'd say some models had good value almost a decade ago (Elantra GT). Others, like my own Elantra sedan, have only improved in the last year or so. Then, there's the newer stuff like Genesis that are top of their class. I've even heard good things about the latest Sonatas.

Drift charm. quote:The origin and purpose behind a drift charm is to show racers/drivers behind how "sick" their drift is. This is because as they drift their car, the drift charm will swing and will appear to stay afloat, which warns other drivers/racers that he/she is a good drifter, or has a good drift car. Hence the name, "drift charm", is given to these objects/toys hanging from the back of cars. God, it's crazy. I can't find a single picture of a drift charm in mid-drift.

KakerMix posted:I'm waiting in the right lane on a 4 lane avenue behind a car at a stop light. It's nice outside, so I have all the windows down enjoying the weather. A lifted bro truck (a dime a dozen here in the Gulf coast of Florida) pulls up in the lane next to me, but has a car length ahead of him to pull up to the car in front of him. A guy driving, a girl in the passenger seat. The dude then "rolls coal" right into the side of my white, open window, open sunroof, hatchback. I quietly roll up my windows and the dude blows more black sooty smoke as he pulls in that car length ahead of him. The girl in side seat rolls up her window while this happens. I can't count the number of times a douche in a lifted brotruck with sidepipes lines up to perfectly blast exhaust into my driver's side window. loving asses...

Geirskogul posted:That's not how it works, but apocryphal tales are fun. I managed to do this in my 95 Jeep Cherokee. I don't know if it's supposed to be possible, but I shifted the automatic transmission into reverse or something. Locked up the tires at about 65 mph on the highway and scared the ever-loving poo poo out of myself. I shoved it back into neutral and coasted to the shoulder. To this day I don't know what damage it did, but that truck ran several more weeks before I traded it in (presumably the dealer scrapped it; the salesman told me his mechanic said the engine was blown - I could have sworn it was the transmission).
