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

Possibly. Not 100% sure about the conversion rate

That's so cheap. A car storage spot around here is like $40 a month depending on where you look.

I wasn't talking storage spot. The $9 is car tax. If you've got the space to store it then it is pretty cheap.

Storage spaces cost from $20 and up

I'm pretty sure that car tax is super expensive as well. Hence why Norway is the country with the highest number of Tesla's per capita. Electric cars have a much lower tax rating.

Honestly think car tax should be the same for whatever car, they're all using the same roads.

Needs money for car parts :P

No, but to me, thats something that should be added to the cost of the car, rather than every 6 months or year. Our mini is more expensive to tax than a honda crv btw

You forgot one thing (warning, what im about to say will probably seem racist but it isnt unless you count stupid politicians as a race) with the recently rush of immigrants the Norwegian government are focusing on helping them instead of those who were born here, raised here and spent their entire lives swallowing Lies about how they actually had rigths and social care to go to if they were injured and unable to work. Take fore an example my father, a hard working honest man who worked until his body collapsed and when he turned to social care for help, the treated him like shit (he usually dosent get his wellfare before the verry end of the month and he sometimes dosent even get the money he is suposed to get, the only way for him to survive is borrowing money from friends and family) and whenever he is at the NAV office (office wich is responsible for handling out wellfa re money) to hand in some paperwork or similar things they allways prioritize immigrants (in some cases the immigrants are even given money for a drivers license and close to 250k (nok) to purchase a car while those who were promised help are suffering, struggling to make ends meet)) the only time the people at NAV actually gave a fuck about helping my father was when he had tried to kill himself. (Please dont ask question, i dont want to think about it too much)

Drove my buddies 87 ford ranger. Now I wish my s10 was a stickshift 

 

I drove a MB 190D 4speed auto on saturday. I missed the clutch, my left leg was just there, chillin'... It's simpler to use, but it just made my life harder... And having both hands on the steering wheel all the time was, to say the least, awkward xD

I didn't like it. It was always on the same gear (that's what it felt like xD), but when it decides to shift, holy fuck.

@warmmilk @vetali @vinyldash303 @whoever_else_wants_to_see_this

 

before you ask heres an explanation for the christmas tree dashboard:
Airbag light: no idea. Clockspring broke and it came back on a month after replacement and never went off even after resetting. Still need to go to dealer to see what the code is lol

Windshield washer fluid low: self explanatory

brake light: the sensor for the E-brake pedal is broken

low-tire light sometimes comes on. thats a 220k mile TPMS system for ya

Service engine soon: P0420/P0430 (cats!)

otherwise the car is fine except for the few knocks im chasing with the rear suspension.

oh and the gas gauge only goes down to halfway. It showing Half means an empty tank. only one of the sensors in the tank is working(neat system takes an average of the two for accuracy I guess), dont know which one so can't fix. and its expensive so *shrug*

 

All of that isn't even the point of the video lol. transmission fluid is pretty fresh (15k miles on it). 

thats kinda normal for old (as in old tech, not very used) auto's... or did it not do that before?  

 

if you autox this, either leave it in full auto and let it shift itself, or just accelerate to second and stay in second.  the G has enough torque to where downshifting to first anywhere will prolly just cost you time over staying in second in an autox setting
