> batteries are never good enough and manufacturers constantly lie about the estimated range (which is not true if youre going uphill, in winter, or going fast on a highway)
> working on EVs will NEVER be safe owning to the fact that 400+V wiring is everywhere, and a wrong touch can kill a mechanic or a first responder
> battery packs are inherently unsafe - even if you somehow magically managed to construct one that doesn't catch fire, shorting it will make it turn into a furnace from the heat output, meaning something in the car or its environment will catch fire and burn for 24+ hours
> battery packs are wired in series, meaning even if you have 20 cells, which could be redundant, even if ONE fails (or just goes out of sync with the others), the whole battery is scrap
> fast 100+kW chargers draw so much fucking power that for a 20+ unit charger draws as much power as a small town - to make all cars EVs, you'd need to build giant charger parks in the middle of nowhere
>Even firstie countries are going broke installing fast chargers
>Everything in the car is factory sealed and unserviceable
>Due to how heavy these fucks are, suspension overall will be less reliable and there will be more road and tire wear
>Modern ICE car engines last the lifetime of the car for normal people with just oil changes
>Shit quality power electronics in inverters can die to age, exposure and usage, just like mechanical parts can
EVs will NEVER be safe and reliable due to these factors, they will consistently be more expensive than ICE cars and die earlier and permanently
There's NO silver bullet

The movie is uploaded to youtube in 10 parts (because of course it fucking is), you only need to watch from the end of part 4 (timestamped below), and really only need to sort of skip through it, I mean you can watch the whole thing if you want to listen to that awful language for 50+ minutes. It's pretty shameless.

The name sounds stupid as well holy shit
I don't understand how these overpriced piles of shit are even allowed on highways in the US, let alone allowed to be sold. The only positive I can think of is that when they wreck, the drivers have a far higher chance of dying from roll over or being flung through the sunbrella roof.
They do offer manual transmission and body on frame, which is cool, but the suspension is built in the 2020s yet designed in the 1920s.
Can't fit shit in them, can't tow anything, rides like a dog crate on wheels.

I just don't get it, why would anyone buy one of these? The new bronco seems ass too, but way better. What am I missing br/o/s?
I want a new car but if it is going to replace my v8 ute it must have a v8 and be as easy to work on.
Seems reasonable, An SS Commonwhore or Ford Falcon v8 with double the kilometers on it is 10k+ more dollarydoos.
Are these good cars?

Taking recommendations
everything below 20k is riced the fuck out and trashed to shit
>turd gens and foxbodies
everything below 10k is trashed to shit, and even 10k only buys you a 90hp automatic base model
>c5 and c6 corvette
you get a lot for the price but typically these dont sell under 20k, plus these cars are getting old and soem parts are hard to find
>c4 corvette
15k minimum and even worse parts availability than newer gens
>e30/36/46
everything below 10k is riced the fuck out and trashed to shit, and that 10k buys you a clean base model at best
>toyobaru
newish and overhyped, so 25k minimum
>nu-musclecars
20k minimum or settle for a base model
>american classics
a fucking meme at this point, even a trashed unfinished project is 25k minimum
Is there anything that hasnt been memed into "mih collector classic" at this point? Are 150hp fwd hatchbacks all we can hope for now?

Previous Thread - >>28165332
At first I wanted to get the Chinese ones on Amazon, but after reading about them apparently not being reliable/lasting long, I decided to get a used moped from a more reputable brand. Since I don't have any experience with mechanics and is quite lacking in funds, buying something that might break easily is not a good idea.
I went on FB marketplace and found some good deals. There is :
>2016 Vespa 50cc for $350
>2020 Genuine Scooter Buddy 50cc for $799
>2007 Genuine Scooter Buddy 50cc for $500
The Vespa is the cheapest but also the most broken(see webm). Parts of it are cracked and the owner admits in the description "broken key but start up good and is in good condition".
The 2020 Buddy is a little expensive in comparison, but almost like new.
The 2007 Buddy is the perfect balance of affordable, from reputable company for reliable scooters, and does not appear cracked at all(the owner even says he had it repaired at a shop before listing).
The problem is that the 2007 Buddy is located 73 miles away from me in a different city. The other ones are at least in the area and I could pick it up by transit.
The hill from both cities is steep, so trying to go in bus and go back on the scooter might not be a good idea. I considered uShip but the lowest estimated quote is around 121 (average 211, highest 272).
What would you recommend?

Need help identifying a chassis?
http://www.superstreetonline.com/how-to/chassis-suspension/1312-honda-chassis-code-checklist/
My girlfriend and I have been saving up our money and were hoping to buy a house sometime this year, so the fact that I need a new car kinda throws a wrench in our plans. We live in SoCal in the LA area.
Long story short, I need a car. Financing a new car doesnt seem like a good idea since like i said, were planning on buying a home this year. So im looking at buying a used car. Preferably less that $15k. Nothing fancy, just something that will hopefully be as reliable as my 2001 Nissan Altima was. Im by no means a "car guy", so im not really sure what kind of cars i should be looking for.
Any tips on what cars i should be looking at? What i should be looking for when inspecting a used car?

Anyways now I have a new problem. A few days ago my 2012 Hyundai Veloester started making the "time to change the brakes" noise on the back passenger side tire, and I've been using it sparingly. But I was visiting my elderly mother and moving some furniture for her, and when I left to head home I hit a small patch of ice, and the ABS triggered the light that usually shuts off almost immediately, and suddenly I realized that something was wrong. I pulled over and messed around a bit and figured out that the abs light was stuck on along with the "slippery road' light, AND that same back passenger tire was locked up. I made it back the half mile to my moms house, and I'm going back in the morning with my MAN TOOLS but I'm wondering if disconnecting the battery will be enough to reset it, or if taking the fuse out until I cam drive it to the shop? I already planned to take to the shop on tuesday for the rear brakes. Anyways, any help would be appreciated! Thanks auto anons.

I'm helping my mom who's in the market for one but I don't know much about them.
wonder why I haven't seen /CTG/ for a while here. Miss seeing those gorgeous celica RA65s and that mk2 supra. Been working on a classic Toyota for a while so I figure we should bring it back, a JDM AE95. Check out these LED dash cluster bulbs. brilliant!

Auto companies: Uh, Ok.
Me: Start with a truck. Any truck you have.
Auto Companies: Ok.
Me: Now enclose the whole top like the pop top from a Wrangler or an old Ford Bronco. Follow me?
Auto companies: We think so. Ok.
Me: Now here's the kicker. Lower the whole profile by 30% and make it a car. You get the best of all worlds by improving the aerodynamics for overall CAFE mpg, tires are cheaper, you can have either an old school wagon OR open truck bed car like an El Camino or Ranchero and haul either people or supplies. What do you say? Huh?
Car companies: It'll never sell. It's a car.
I could just as easily buy a prius and use it like a disposable car, but I like the idea of having a small truck because I'm a special snowflake and I want to have a solid reliable small truck. Also looking at hardbodies, but they all seem molested in some way.
Any chance that 4chan could update the board? Where does one go to make such requests?

My question, if it is one, is should I get a hoist for my shop?
Just got my first home loan, although it took twenty years.
A big attraction to the property was a three car shed freshly built behind the house.
Do I go whole hog and stuff a hoist in it?
If yes then questions remain, will I die if I don't know what I'm doing? Are they actually not cool as all fuck in reality?

>able to afford almost any car
>no matter how much you spend, you can't beat the Tesla model 3 performance as a daily driver
Straight up, why can't any other manufacturer come close no matter how much you spend?
Like let's compare it to the Bentley flying spur. The Bentley wins on ride quality, noise, interior materials but it's so big driving it is very difficult, it's dated inside/technology wise, it's far less capable at carrying stuff, it's slower and it's hard to see out of.

Just shy of a two months ago my car was drug off by a shadetree mechanic I sold it to because it was beyond saving. For the time being until I can procure enough cash to buy another car I have borrowed my fathers unused work truck that barely gets 5 mpg on the 390 because it has a cylinder down on pressure. I can count the six on startup, hear the seventh soon after and eventually, eight.
I just need it to get to work in town. Really. Strangest thing is the smiles, the waves, the peace signs and nods from random folks I just smile and nod back to in good faith. Trust me folks, It's not intentional, but OK. I'll roll with it.
It's expensive in fuel and little other than wipers, lights and the oil pressure/water temp working, it's worth waiting for another car...for now.

>What is this thread for?
A thread to discuss, post, create, and review anything related to automotive decals and stickers, as well as other general aesthetic modifications (wraps, license plate frames, etc).
>TQ
Is there an art to sticker application? How big of a role does the placement, arrangement, style and number of stickers affect the aesthetics of the vehicle they're placed on? Post examples, good or bad, if you have them.
I've figured that you need about 1L of engine for every tonne being moved.
The new 70 series land cruiser being sold with a 2.8L inline 4. For a Gross combined kerb weight of 5.8t (2.3t vehicle kerb weight with 3.5t towing capacity) the engine is less than half the size to comfortably move the whole shabang.
A 1999 Hyundai Excel has a 1.5L inline 4, weighs about 1t with driver so it is able to tow 500kg comfortably although When I have towed stuff it does get hot.
>somethingsomething despite having a smaller engine a vehicle the same weight with with a smaller engine will get the same if not worse fuel economy *cough* Japanese vans *cough*
