if you hadn't parked your R34 in that awkward spot it would have been fine, since mine and @RevoltTrain 's cars are actually somewhat close adn well positioned

Going for a WoF for my Peugeot today hope it starts. Had a funny problem of late where after a drive it doesn’t want to start until it’s had a half hour nap.

Did you feed it some bread crumbs ? 

 

(Pro tip : needs to be proper french bread crumbs)

15W40 for mine. With French onion soup. A whole lot of light errors popped up while I drove it to the WoF, they are fine just needs a clear though. Dumb French computer!

Damn I hope it starts

Speaking of oil weight, some retarded shop put 10w-30 in my Cummins. I about drive through their shop door. Needless to say I’ll be changing back to 15w-50 just in time For winter. Still need those all terrains though... ugh money

but for winter wouldn't you want a thinner oil so it's not as thick in cold weather and not as difficult to start? this is what i've always heard, this might've been a myth the whole time.

I don't think it's about difficulty starting as much as it is excessive wear because the oil is too thick to flow and lubricate well.

I mean yes, but not all 10w-30 is created equal, and Diesel engines love them some thick oil. It’s viscosity helps keep the engine healthy for longer, especially since diesels tend to dirty oil faster than gas. Also I doubt the oil they used was full synthetic. Idek why I took it there in the first place, it’s a tiny shop. My dad always likes the ghetto shops... oh Dad. One day I’ll teach you

Yeah I have no problems starting my truck, though even if you do that’s what block heaters and glow plugs are for, but they’re more to help With fuel viscosity than oil, since diesel fuel is basically light weight oil lol. Also, the area I live in (Bay Area) doesn’t get cold enough to warrant lighter oils, but if it did, I’d get 5w-40 instead of 10w-30

*Trying to figure out how to put a turbo in the Paseo*

[dcgreen2k]

Yesterday, I got to drive my aunt's Mustang, which is actually the second American car i've ever driven. It's the base model with the turbocharged Inline-4 engine with an automatic transmission, but it was still pretty fun! Her name is Blue Betty in case anybody wanted to know.

No I live in America, it's just that nearly everybody in my family drives japanese cars... The only people who drive american cars are my aunt and grandparents, but I don't get to see them very often because they live kind of far away.

I've been playing tons of Horizon 4 didn't realize we had a group going.  How do I get into that action?  Assuming your all playing on PC?

We don't have an official club or anything, but we all get together through the car thread discord

well it's not so much driving like a maniac on the road (please don't) but being able to have fun on a nice twisty road on a beautiful day is quite nice. 

That said.. I do kinda treat every turn as if im on an autocross course sometimes(especially roundabouts)...not like screeching tires or anything too crazy but i take em quickly. (if its clear) to me its normal at this point lol

 

but yeah the prius is a good little commuter, especially in town where it makes good use of the electric motor. On the highway... not as much. to me it's only worth it if you use the electric portion a lot, otherwise just get an old corolla or something. 

My highway MPG is like, 50 or so. I wish it were set up to get optimal mileage at a speed higher than 60 some mph because I do like driving at around 70. Dunno whether that's more of a function of it being a small car than a hybrid though, I think the biggest advantage of the prius is that when you sit in traffic, you're not burning gas at all.

 

@terrytek I do occasionally drive obnoxiously slow, but is it really obnoxiously slow if you're the only one on the road?  

 

I can tell you why people do that though, they have this little bar which shows your usage of the electric and gas motors, as well as when you're charging the battery from regenerative braking and so on. It's honestly really interesting to look and and very tempting to only use the electric. Of course, you go at about 20 mph and accelerate slower than a person running when you do that, so I try to avoid looking at it too much. It's smart marketing but I kinda wish they hadn't included it because I were even the slightest bit more OCD...

 

Sorry for the tag, I messed up the quoting stuff.
