AutoBox, Roll Out!

Lift kits are fine, but they need to be limited. You want to lift your 4Runner a couple inches to make it more off-road capable? Great! You want to lift your F-150 a foot to fit tires so big that you have to extend your axles anyway and just drive around in traffic and take up 4 parking spots at a time? Fuck all the

Stupid and unsafe, for all parties.

If you don’t like rolling coal, that’s fine - I agree with you 100%

You might want to look up the meaning of the word “most”.

I honestly think that these abominations will forever tarnish the use of the prefix “Cyber” on any product moving forward.

Thanks a-fucking-lot, Elon.

William Gibson should sue. 

The real problem is excess. A truck lifted by 1 or 2 inches doesn’t seem terrible...but 12"? Stupid, especially when you only drive on asphalt.

So, to the ban everything guy, why are you at a car site again? Most of what you hate is perfectly harmless. You’re getting your blood pressure up over nothing. Oh no, flame decals, someone call the authorities!

Fake shifts are dumb in theory and in practice. Half the appeal of an electric powertrain is that there’s NO transmission. It’s not an automatic that needs to be creatively managed to make it feel like the driver has control of shift points, there just aren’t any shift points. I get picking the half-second-slower

Nailed it....the N is the best EV at making you realize it’s not an EV....might as well go buy an ICE if that’s what you’re looking for.

Because cops are more likely to be in the takeover than to stop it? Dirtbags support dirtbag things.

Boy, you’d think the cops would love these things. All the damage they could cause and arrests they could make and the public would be on their side for once!

How about getting a young FBI agent with blonde hair and a nice smile to go undercover to infiltrate the local scene of outlaw drivers? Maybe he gets a job at a parts store that sells NOS cylinders and intakes?

In my bike shop days, at least once a month one of the mechanics wouldn’t seat the tire bead, and blow a tube at anywhere from 30-100psi.  The shop was in the very back of a decently sized store, and the pressure change would still manage to pop the front door open, along with a bang that made every customer jump. 

I was helping a guy working on the front suspension of a Chevelle when the coil spring decided to release its potential energy.  It moved so fast I only saw the garage window explode.  It landed in his swimming pool.  Everyone was ok, but that was the last time for me with coil springs.  

I must have a sixth sense about these things, because even though I haven’t experienced the exploding part, I’m still very mindful of gaseous tanks and even filling up a tire has me ready to jump at any time for some reason.

Porsche dude is right.

I hate compressed gasses. I’m a hydraulics guy, I’d rather deal with 5,000psi oil than 100psi air.

This is why you don’t fuck around with stored energy.

That happened to a guy in my state years ago who made the unfortunate decision to roll coal on an older guy in a convertible who happened to be the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles. It sent his wife into an asthmatic fit (fortunately she had an inhaler) but an hour or so later the state police showed up at the guy’s

One of the few occasions where I think this should be a 1 strike you’re out rule. Get caught doing it, get your vehicle impounded. Then you have to pay impound to have it serviced to be put back to factory specs before you get it back.
