>Held at its Gaydon HQ, on Armistice Day, the event was hosted by Jaguar’s senior team including managing director Rawdon Glover and JLR’s chief creative officer Gerry McGovern.
>Embargoed until today, the event felt like a hallucinogenic sci-fi movie where the presenters were only allowed to speak in marketing babble.
>Unveiling a new concept car – the details of which are still under embargo until December 3 – Jaguar’s passionate team spoke for most of the day about how they plan to ‘delete ordinary’ and ‘live vivid’. Whatever that means…
>In what, at times, felt like a drunken dream, Jaguar personnel walked journalists through its plans to ‘reimagine’ the much-loved brand over the next few years.
>Calling it a ‘complete reset’, McGovern at one point told journalists that his team had ‘not been sniffing the white stuff – this is real’.
>‘A good ice hockey player does not skate to where the puck is now, they skate to where it is going,’ chief commercial officer Lennard Hoornik said.
>McGovern believes that up until now Jaguar has ‘not been allowed to be unique’ and that the Jaguar of the future will ‘stir the emotions once again’ and ‘make you feel uncomfortable’.
>He was right about the last bit. After an hour’s briefing in a windowless room, the agog journalists were shifting in their seats.

eurobros, i think its officially over. you cant even get a clapped out 316i e36 for low price, which at some point was considered the most undesirable bmw. theyre all rusted out rolling shells that arent even viable for project/restoration
I whisper softly, "Not goodbye."
Your engine hums a final note,
As frost begins to seize my coat.
No winding curves, no roaring spins,
Just quiet now, as winter wins.
I drape you snug, in slumber deep,
For roads must wait while snowdrifts creep.
Goodnight, sweet prince, your race is run,
Until the thaw, beneath the sun.
When springtime calls, we’ll reunite,
To chase the day and thrill the night.

US should take a note from the Germans and remove all speed limits from interstate roads. It makes no sense at all for interstates to have speed limits.
So many bold, clean and distinctive designs
Please tell me they serve a purpose because they look atrocious.

All of these cars have similar specs, are in similar shape, drive the same, have more-less the same bells and whistles and cost more-less the same (Golf is the cheapest by 200€ and the Focus is the most expensive also by 200€)

Brown is usually such a nice looking color. Briefcases, shoes, suits, wallets, you can't go wrong with brown. But not cars.
By all accounts, these zombies should definitely be dead if they needed bailouts.
all you have to do is put in a better oil filter and it happens less often, now it only does it maybe half the time, and if it does it's usually for like a half second, and it's even quieter when it does
have you ever almost spent used car price on something that wasn't necessary

Is this possible?

Can she learn, or must she be willing to learn to become a better driver?

How much are they now for derelict examples ?
Here's mine: are most gaskets you buy for exhausts these days asbestos free ? Just metal lined with graphite and glass fiber ?
I ordered a cat converter from magnaflow and I'm wondering if the gaskets they sent are clean. Ofc the gaskets sucked anyways and I didn't start to think about what they were made of until I was changing them for felpro.
I got it on Yamaha MT-07 2022
full A category here in Europe (fucking expensive)
I really like picrel but they are expensive and made in india
There are a couple of sites still around but they haven't added any new stickers in years.
Surely there must be plenty of sticker sites with new and exciting products. Does anyone have any companies they can shill?

>briefly held the record for fastest top speed in a production car in Europe... when the Bugatti Veyron existed
Cons:
>generally mediocre build quality
>lots of squeak and rattle points
>many got bubba'd up by rednecks
>hard to find one in decent condition
>chassis needs stiffening if you want to put real power down
>still significantly larger and heavier than most of its competition
>t-tops tend to leak and are a weak point in the chassis
>flip up headlights are extra failure point
>bad stigma thanks to trailer trash stereotype
What do you guys think of Third Gen F-Bodies? I've got one as a project car and I've grown to appreciate it a lot over the course of the few months I've been working on it. It would have been nice if it weren't bubba'd up so bad but a beat to shit car is like a blank canvas. I don't have to worry about collector value, I just build what I want. So I'm building something that'll be fun to drive on the street.
>So far I've switched: Pads, Discs, Calipers, Brake Tubes (Not lines, no rust on them), Master Brake Cylinder
>The system has been bled multiple times using both a bleeding machine and using the 2 person method.

The problem is that the brake pedal has a long "travel" where I need to push it in a good bit if not basically the entire way for it to start doing something and to start having resistance. When the motor is switched off, the pedal is rock hard already but can be made harder my pumping it a bit. The pressure is kept well if I keep my foot on it.
When driving I can feel the brakes having an effect from basically the first mm onwards, it's just that for actual brake performance to happen it's 90% travel. After that it begins being kinda squishy but with resistance.
When standing, the pedal is very undefined until the 90% "resistance point".
I've taken it out for drives and the brake performance is consistent.
I can make it ABS brake just fine, and it's survived a couple emergency brake processes too.
When I bought the car, the pedal already felt kind of shit. (Not that it's much to go off of. The suspension + brakes had to be basically completely redone. New Shocks + Springs, Wheel Bearings, bushings, stabilizer bar etc. are on it now)
would like to know more about maintenance, car parts, car models. My current understanding is nonexistent to very miniscule. Where do I learn more?
why is nobody in the car community talking about the most important paradigm shift since the energy crisis in the 1970s?

1. No traffic jams, free roads you can croooze or speed on endlessly
2. Having any car gets you laid instantly, you become a pussy magnet the moment you get behind the wheel
3. No brown retards on the roads because a license takes rigorous testing to obtain
4. All cars are well maintained because they are hard to get so owners take good care of the instead of treating them as disposable trash
5. Yes cars take long ques to buy but its worth the advantages described above
6. Yo ucan even become a racing driver on gubmints money, just start off as a taxi driver or something simmilar
So, why arent you fighting for the proletarian revolition yet, c/o/mrade?

>locked out of chosen career options due to disability (didn't anticipate it being as big of a problem as it has been)
>really getting desperate for a stable job having recently moved states
>only real skills I could make a job is being a wrencher
I worked as a quick service tech at an Audi dealership and within months of hiring me, they wanted to move me up to the advanced training group and get me on Audi's fast track training program to get me into the main shop. I declined because I knew I was going to move soon and I hated being a tech. In retrospect, I hated it because I was quick service and Audi aren't the easiest to work on, t. the senior techs.
If it comes to it, I'm not entirely opposed to becoming a tech again. My only qualifications is being a DIY wrencher and working at Audi. Don't have any ASE certs or anything like that. If anything, I could get a job at a quick service shop while I study for ASE certs to broaden my job opportunities. I've heard that being a fleet tech is the best way to go. That true? Being a tech at independent shops is ass and being a dealer tech is a bit better, but you have to bust your ass all day to make good hours based on what I saw at Audi. If being a fleet tech is out for whatever reason, and becoming a dealer tech is the best I can land, what brand would be the best to go for/least shitty to work on?
>Tesla's vehicles have the highest fatal accident rate among all car brands in America, according to a recent iSeeCars study that analyzed data from the U.S. Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).
>The Tesla Model S has a rate more than double than average, at 5.8 per billion vehicle miles driven; meanwhile, the Tesla Model Y — the best-selling vehicle in the world has a fatal crash rate of 10.6, nearly four times the average. It ranked as the sixth worst vehicle overall.
>The study's authors make clear that the results do not indicate Tesla vehicles are inherently unsafe or have design flaws. In fact, Tesla vehicles are loaded with safety technology; the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) named the 2024 Model Y as a Top Safety Pick+ award winner, for example.
>So, why are Teslas — and many other ostensibly safe cars on the list — involved in so many fatal crashes? “The models on this list likely reflect a combination of driver behavior and driving conditions, leading to increased crashes and fatalities,” iSeeCars executive analyst Karl Brauer said in the report.
tl;dr - tesla fanboys have no clue how to drive and think the car drives itself kek
Pic related, it's my newly discovered coolant leak. Bonus points if you can identify the car.
Also, the driver was literally some fat mexican lady.
