Yeah it does....Beyond the front everything else looks nearly identical. And this shouldn’t be a surprise seeing as Toyota now has three other models that look almost exactly the same: The Rav4, the BZ4X and the Corolla “ Cross” or whatever in the hell its supposed to be. I love my old Toyota truck. But these days…

Shut the fuck up. You’re just another worthless piece of shit, wasting oxygen. 

I could tell this was a car from Berkeley without even getting to the bottom of the page. Some old hippy who thinks they are an artist because they can slap house paint on a car. 

I feel like we are living in some sort of hell these days. This, along with what seems like 75% of all of the new vehicles coming out look like the same amorphous blobs. This could pass for a Rav4. Or one of the models from Hyundai. Or with the slats for headlights, one of the new models from Buick.

Its because we all know exactly what kind of person he is when he said that: Typical white, conservative, Trump-supportin’ piece of shit.

I will let others be guinea pigs. I really don’t trust most German cars. As in- will it last 200,000+ miles without a major issue? And when there are issues, will it cost a fortune to cost or be a pain in the ass if I do it myself? That has yet to really be seen.

Deleting the EGR is a great way to find yourself failing smog and inspection in California. Secondly- I would not buy anything with a diesel these days. ESPECIALLY anything newer like this. Most of the benefits of diesel are eliminated by the complicated exhaust systems, the DEF fluid system and the amount of carbon…

What you can do with a retired Navy ship is very limited. Its either a museum or nothing. Because they are meant to partially glorify and advertise the wonderful US Navy and if you were to make it into a casino they would have taken it back immediately. I can’t imagine what insurance would be like for something like…

I know you’re being sort of silly but those carriers are also a pain in the ass. I used to volunteer on a WW2 carrier. It had been out of commission since 1970. Biggest issue is that these are 40,000+ ton steel things that never stop rusting. Not a big a deal with 3500 people on board who scrape and re-paint around…

First of all, nothing exudes confidence more than soaking the engine bay in tire shine spray. Secondly, don’t people realize that as soon as they are on a public road, or if people drive by their houses that we can see their license plates? Hence why its sort of stupid to cover them up in ads. Lastly, good luck…

So is your entire family 6 ft 5" and 250 pounds? I ask because we have a Subaru Crosstrek and it very easily and comfortable fits me, my wife, and my parents and their stuff easily. And my wife is 6 feet tall. And somehow when I was a kid we- a family go 4- survived just fine with a 1985 Camry, back when they were…

Well.... seems to me that there are always a few high maintenance-type suburban women who absolutely REEK of hair spray, perfume and other shit that just about makes me gag. They might as well kick them off the plane too. That and the babies who shit their diapers. Stupid babies...

Holy shit. Been a Looooonng time since one of the Trumpers made it to this site. 

The corrosion seen on the pics of the engine definitely looks like its seen some salt. I lived in Boston for a few years before moving to California and salt will cause an engine to look exactly like what this appears to be.

You know.... pouring money into developing NEW cars would really help Tesla at this point. Minus the Cybertruck which has already started to go stale in the eyes of the public the entire lineup looks really outdated. No matter how good the tech inside might be the public expects to see meaningful design changes. On…

It doesn’t stop there. There are literal armies of people in China who actively troll US web sites. There’s even a few who are on here who do everything possible to defend and deny whatever bad things is said about China. Its like clockwork. On the thread concerning the use of slave labor I got at least one response…

Sure. If you wanna’ give up and assign yourself to only buying Chinese shit then be my guest. Nobody says you HAVE to. Granted in some cases it can’t be helped. The internet has made it easy to make choices.
 
In my house we have:
A set of carving knives
A set of dishes
Numerous pots and pans and cast iron
3 of my hoodies,…

Chinese companies clone things to a RIDICULOUS degree. As in I have a friend who works at a huge US-based sever and computer equipment manufacturer. One day they get in some knock-off clone of one of their servers. And it was copied so perfectly that even the problems and glitches it had was also perfectly replicated.

Oh ok.... So I guess that means from your perspective that its A-ok to buy these cheap Chinese EVs. Got it. Because if China does bad shit and we do bad shit then it cancels each other out. Might want to check your stats BTW: Most of the oil the US buys is from ourselves, Canada and Mexico.

Except the Japanese didn’t blatantly steal IP, didn’t use slave labor to make their cars, and as we saw- put a huge amount of emphasis in the long term durability of the cars themselves. There are many videos showing BYD’s randomly catching fire all over China so not sure we really “ need” these things.
