Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Right on to more fun matters.

What is a common phrase people use in your countries when someone can't park.

 

Ended up on the receiving end of a common swedish one when i arrived at work in a hurry and didn't park perfectly within the lines.

Being nice i went out during one of my breaks and parked properly. But not before i got this gem.

"Du parkerar som en jävla kratta"

"You park like a fucking rake"

There isn't a phrase that is used over here. Instead, you'll just get a nice dent, keyed, or some other form of vehicular sabotage. If you have a nice car, you'll probably receive the sabotage even if your parking job is perfection.

This is pretty unrelated but aren't there some fantastic roman ruins near Solin?

Note to self. Don't move to california. God that sounds awful

(Fun fact. California has almost the same emissions laws as sweden. Found that out when i took my car in for an inspection. The camaro being a cali spec car)

i mean it's kinda expected, since european emissions are much stricter than the majority of america's emissions (excluding california, of course).

Your car doesn't need a massager as our roads are bumpy enough to accomplish that for you. 

 

Also, just ten minutes ago, I almost got rear ended by an suv speeding out of a corner going about 55 (in a 40 zone). Was waiting for an opening to make a left turn, and I see the Suv coming out of the corner behind me, and it's borderline panicked driver trying to stop. I stalled trying to get moving again. 

 

Thankfully, a near miss was all it turned out to be. But nonetheless, if you value driving, you'd do well to keep away from California.

Walk down the road , literally a 100 meters and you can see the ruins . Tho iv been there like a 1000 times so not really fantastic from my point :P

 

Id say the source of the river Jadro ( small river that goes thru the town ) is a much better sight for someone looking for wilderness or just relaxing atmosphere .. and it is pretty stunning too .

Most times i'd say i prefer the chrome. But with that colour on the car it could go either way
