In the time I’ve been alive, my mom has owned a 71 Monte Carlo, which she would semi-daily in the summer, and a number of Suburbans. One Suburban was a custom Texas conversion or something too, it had a custom paint job and custom interior. Currently she drives a Suburban with over 300,000 miles.

My wife drives a Mariner, the meh cousin. The beige interior gets dirty by just looking at it, and the chrome shifter bezel reflects sunlight right into your eye balls when you’re driving.

You mean the the shoulder right? At least that’s what the BMW driver was doing up 110 the other day.

There was a restomod C2 Corvette that sold for $440k. It probably cost $200k to put together, if that. Look at the results, and look at what all the restomod Corvettes went for, they weren’t good deals at all.

I think the restomods piss me off the most. The amount of C1 and C2 Corvette restomods that rolled across the block and sold for upwards of $300k is absolutely nuts. I looked up the results today and saw that one went for $440k. I mean common, the car probably cost half that to put together, and it’s not like it’s…

I didn’t know about SRAM and the turkey call haha. I have Shimano components on my road bike, and my fixies don’t run any italian components, so I’m in the same boat as you. Definitely not the best source on what to call it.

I assume “you guys” refers to Americans? I’ve either heard it Campagnolo or Campy, never Campa. Campa makes a lot more sense though.

I know about Campy since I cycle, and I’ve seen those wheels before, but I never knew they made them.

My second car was a 98 Monte, beige on beige, but it had leather! It had the 3100 though, which did the Monte no favors since it was pretty underpowered. I did love that car though. It was really comfy, and since I was the second owner it was a super clean car for a high school kid to own.

That’s actually how I started. A coworker had started a woodworking channel and it became moderately successful so he told be to just try it out. The first video I posted is the one that has 100k views.

I have an automotive DIY channel. I have around 200 subs, and one video with over 100k views. Another video I posted recently got about 1,400 views in 4 months, and continues to grow. I understand it’s small time compared to other channels, but I am seeing growth. Since it was mostly car stuff, I actually saw enough…

I haven’t had anything super rude, more funny or amusing. I get a lot of “Why are you putting premium in your car? It’s a wagon...”

As someone with a mk4 1.8t 5spd wagon, I’d be the first in line for a Golf R Estate. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Golf R, but I want a performance wagon dammit!

My wife drives a Mariner. Looks like I know what wheels to get now.

Gotta get oil circulation to turbo, and warm up that gear oil or you’re not shifting for shit.

He’s seen a lot of gas. And this... well it’s the best. He’s definitely going to lose with this gas.

Every company seems to do it. Personally, I think it’s a marketing thing. If bigger=better, you make your car a little bigger to be better than the competition, and eventually it gets big enough that you introduce a new small car.

Agreed. Cutlines everywhere, and none of them make sense!

I also noticed a cutline, so I’m wondering whats up with that piece. It’s not part of the rest of the front fender, so is it it’s only little piece, or is it plastic and part of the black bumper areas?

I work for a company that takes finalized engineering data and then makes photo real images out of it. We apply semi-realistic shaders to the parts, but they get tweaked and adjusted before the final renders. It’s really funny working with engineers because the minute it’s not CAD colors, most assume it should be…
