I drive a 2001 Stick shift jeep wrangler. Linus understands the stick shift master race. Taking the doors off isn't something you fast car guys can do Gotta learn to drive like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1_u3-eyXmU

Wish I was half as skilled and brave as him. Gone far too soon.

You guys were talking about police in your area so...

California police - they drive conspicuously in the right lane of the freeway in traffic and pull people over by just popping up on them. So every 15-20 minutes you drive past someone who has been pulled over.

Meanwhile in Calgary, Canada... freeway cops are basically "drive as fast as you want as long as you're not causing wrecks or inconvenience to others, we'll be at Tim Horton's if you need us"

 

This is basically a Sunday drive for us on the Canadian autobahn...

So I thought I'd try something different and bought this a week or so ago

 

 

 

 

 

Aaaand there's nothing I really like about it. Not that comfortable for me, power is meh, gas mileage is awful and requires premium... selling it and buying a $500 Corolla that a friend is selling me, and putting the rest of the money in my pocket for other more useful things.

 

@Bubblewhale likes them though so tag him in this nonsense

Thought the show off your setup thread would have taught people to not quote multiple big pics but guess not alrighty then

Because i rarely ever go to pic threads...

There you go anyway.

Also @thekeemo it was only $1000 cheaper then what I sold the Equinox for, which was pretty much negated by the amount of money I put in it to fix the bearings, so yeah, most regretful decision I've made in a while

well damn. Chances are its horrible in winter too.

[Aniallation]

well damn. Chances are its horrible in winter too.

It's probably better tbh, the tires aren't bald like the ones on the Equinox were, and it's also AWD.

[thekeemo]

would you trade a '99 maxima fully loaded for it? Near new winter tires on it and new brake disks new suspension too.

You obviuosly don't have bonds with your cars. You wouldn't know how it would feel if your car that you dumped thousands of dollars were to be stolen, and then worst case scenario, your car would be totally gutted. if it were me, it would totally shatter my heart.

There's a difference between having a bond and learning to let something go because it doesn't fucking matter it's just a car at the end of the day.

How I want to drive that fast... (if only the roads here were better and the cops less hungry)

What do you guys think about the next NFS?

I honestly just want more customization and louder engine revs, and less cop chases that are way too easy to win

But EA will most probably f**k it up

Chrysler is dropping the Hemi engines from the SRT cars, in favor of turbocharged I4 and V6's.

 

 

https://www.yahoo.com/autos/s/srt-hellcat-hemi-engines-might-not-survive-2019-173010561.html

 

We live in an era of increasingly stringent fuel economy regulations and consumer expectations of higher and higher MPGs. In response, automakers are downsizing engines, and Dodge’s parents company Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is no different. According to MotorAuthority, that sourced JeepTrackhawkForums, FCA is set to drop all Hemi V8 engines from the SRT lineup. That includes the 6.4-liter V8, as well as the at-issue 6.2-liter unit.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       So what will power SRT vehicles going forward? Apparently future SRT offerings will be propelled by either a turbocharged inline-4, or a turbo V6. Automakers all over the world are getting 300 and 600 horsepower, respectively, from these types of engine setups, so it’s not all that insane. With future cars guaranteed to be lighter and more focused on cornering than straight-line power, this is likely to be a winning combination. Really, when has SRT let down the enthusiast community?

 

I understand the reasoning, but I dont think they will sell as well as long as the competitors are still using large displacement V8's.
