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

Ahhahaha. In all seriousness though, love for a person is the most complicated, sweetest sensation there is. I really get the 'loves a drug' saying. 

Oh god. Dilemma no.6892552; pissing of your self driving car :P

Love is a chemical reaction in the brain. You'd think there'd be a cure by now.

There is, it's called heartlessness.

The eliminator pump supports up to 2300bhp. Though if i got a paper cut i'd probably bleed out in a second..

Probably less. But that would be a glorious second to watch. Also

Question for car peoples: Does putting on a massive spoiler (like 2 feet high) on a Civic make it go faster?

 

looks ugly af and my co worker who owns it says it does and only “guys understand” 

 

oh and I guess having exhaust that sounds like someone is shitting their pants.

They increase drag. So basically. no.

 

And the exhaust is probably just hacked off if the civic is how i imagine it.

as @techswede said, creates drag and slows the car down, also the exhaust modification might actually make it lose power

Spoiler or no spoiler? Personally I think the spoiler spoils ruins the looks.

I mean I guess I don't hate it, I just kinda wished they didn't have it. I mean it sounded like it's just bolted in so it'd be easy to remove but then there's the screw holes and then filling that and getting it painted over to look like there never were holes is too much trouble.

I like it with and without. I think its cleaner without. Its not a great factory spoiler either

For sure. Like I said, I don't hate it but, not ideal. I guess if I was in the position to buy one next year I would probably not care too much as long as I was getting a good enough price on it.

 

Under circumstances that I wasn't planning a 1,000 mile trip, I wouldn't want something like the 2013-2015 Fusion for my first car tbh just because of the cost. But since I want to take a ~1,000 mile trip by maybe late summer of next year like early/mid august. I'd like to have 4k saved up by about late spring of next year, in the meanwhile getting my permit replaced and doing a load of driving and hopefully being confident enough to take the road test in early spring. Which if I got proactive about working more and saving more, I could make $4,000 come in fairly easily. Through wage progression, I'm fairly close from getting another 25¢ raise which will bring me to $11.50/hr but maybe by late spring next year I could be close to either $11.75 or $12.


I know 1,000 mile trip for a new driver sounds like a lot and I'm not going to say it isn't but going east of Minnesota out to Ohio seemed easier than going West out to like Idaho and Washington/Oregon.

 

And I guess from the little driving I have done, I don't hate it. It's just I get very nervous I guess because like I'd hate to make a mistake which could be costly in many ways. But I suppose that's probably not a great way to view things.
