The rotary crowd is pretty lighthearted. We all know that we’re driving unreliable time bombs. That’s part of the fun.

Still patiently waiting for an AR compatible AoE that’s playable on coffee table. Since it’s owned by Microsoft, dare we say a ‘Hololo’ Lens edition?
“Well, you see, my ‘70 Challenger has horrible panel gaps and overspray everywhere because that’s how they built it...”
That boy ain’t rolling coal, these boys are Rolling Coal:
I’ve gotten into “discussions” with a couple of coal rollers.
Corvette owners. Ever see them at. Vette meets? They have Corvette hats, polo shirts, jackets, and even extra Corvette logo stickers on their Corvette. Their wives are decked out in Corvette attire. The only car that exists in their world is a Corvette. They roll in packs to IMSA races, and only swarm the Corvettes…
The matching numbers crowd.
Coal rollers. No other car culture has sent me violent threats for making fun of it.
(irrational) Tifosi, especially this year because Ferrari is doing well. Lord help you if you’re Italian but don’t bleed Rosso Corsa. You’ll never see another group of people work so hard to associate themselves with a brand of cars 95% of them don’t own now and never will in the future. They’re almost as bad as Red…
And God forbid you swap some LED lights in, right?
Rotors do not warp. You would need to get them astronomically hot to warp them. What people believe is warping is actually brake pad deposits sticking to the rotor and not clearing away. I don’t know if this is caused by the metal used or what, but it happens.
Brake rotors!
More tools than parts of the car itself, but I always find myself at harbor freight getting some good old fashioned one time use tools with a warranty. Especially their low profile jack, that thing is damn amazing.
Thinking back to my Autoparts slinging days...
Oil - even the cheapest oil that is API certified today is better than the stuff from 10-15 years ago. Actually this applies to most fluids.. Brake, PS, Washer, etc...
Bulbs - you don’t need those super expensive Long Life or hyper white tail light bulbs.
Gas - if your car doesn’t call for premium, you don’t need premium or even medium you nitwits.
It’s replies like this that make scouring each and every comment section worth it. Very informative and interesting.
So, diesels need two classes of emissions control equipment - particulate filtration, and some method of reducing nitrogen oxides.
Soft top Jeep Wranglers count as convertibles, right? This didn’t happen while I was driving, but it did make driving around a bit unpleasant at times...
I owned this... 1996 pile of Chrysler sadness.
