I don't even know what they're called, but I want to start a !cars. Because it would be so great to have a leftist space for car enthusiasts. Any time anything political comes up, you just get horribly out-of-touch hatred getting spewed everywhere in the comments section. People that have enough money to buy a corvette or used 911 tend to lean conservative.
Nothing transport related stays hidden from the traingang for long:hahaha:
We get transported in bulk to transport related posts at fixed intervals at low prices 🚂🚃🚅
Train good
Car bad
Car fun tho, would enjoy c/cars as long as I get to relentlessly bully everyone on there
counterpoint: trains go chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga choo choo
Trains do not go chugga chugga. Trains go grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr or better yet go wrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrwrrrrrrrrrrrrrrwrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Do you know why there is an interruption in the noise it makes? Is it changing gears?
I know that for LIM trains, the changing noise is an analog to changing gears as the magnetic field switches its phase
It sucks that people do that within earshot of your home, but not all car enthusiasts are irresponsible jerks. Also, the people doing it would probably like to be doing it somewhere they're not bothering people but drag strips aren't as plentiful as they used to be and have kinda changed into higher performance higher safety and higher barrier to entry places where you can't just add horsepower to your normal car and go vroom.
are you seriously having a problem with people because they evade the police?????
The backfiring sounding stuff is colloquially called "2-step" and a lot of people really like hearing it, at least when it's well executed, and the bass is probably also something they're just doing for their own enjoyment. The fact that they do both of these things in a residential neighborhood is probably unrelated to how annoying it is for the neighbors. But you might be right, they might be doing it to annoy you on purpose; and then you have to ask yourself what it is about your neighborhood that makes you a target to be annoyed.
I'm really not; I just think you need to consider that these people aren't doing it just to bug you, and if they are, it's probably for a reason that might be completely unrelated to you
Expensive as fuck. There are other options though, like natural gas or bio diesel conversions.
it's not necessarily thaaaat expensive. Rich Rebuilds on youtube is doing a "cheap" electric (new) mini project and is aiming to be under 5k for the whole thing. some of it would be pretty hard to replicate because he does find an absolute steal on an old Zilla controller and lots of other stuff but if you do as he says and shop EV classifieds you can find people letting go of their projects for pennies on the dollar, usually just because they lost interest/drive with the project
I've heard of bio diesel conversion and sort of understand it, but how do you get a car to run on natural gas?
Just gonna pop this in hereeeee http://www.evfinder.com/classifieds.htm
Also, conversions are a lot of work that you basically have to do yourself, but the nice thing about DIYing an EV is once you get over the hump of understanding battery systems and dynamics you can design the car to meet your actual needs; like if you have a 5 mile commute in LA you can make a really usable city car for suuuuuper cheap
Electric cars are still bad though. I'd imagine it be cheaper to just buy an electric car from the get go if you need a car.
So I like this. I am a domestic violence survivor and was intentionally denied the chance to learn to drive due to this. This has made me extremely vulnerable violence and has drastically reduced my ability to provide mutual aid to my community and get employed. Car culture can be scary for me because of how...right wing a lot of it. Though mainstream car culture is toxic, cars are actually really good for people who need to escape abuse, especially in rural areas or if a person cannot afford urban and suburban housing costs.
Two things I like. Walking and boarding the train.
Too bad where I live cars are everywhere and there’s no trains :(
Reminds me of L.A. they had an intricate train system until Ford ripped them all up and replaced them with highways.
I haven't said much about my love for cars here because everyone seems to hate them around here. I imagine many others feel the same.
Miata's are the perfect car imo. I really like motorsports and Miata's are track monsters. Cheap, Reliable , surprisingly good on gas , it's a true every mans car. Personally I hate driving for transport but taking that car around a track is a borderline religious experience.
Miata's are cool, but tiny. I was on the fence for a while about getting one before deciding on a Camaro because
I'm a basic white guyI had an easier time getting in and out of it.
good idea, we can discuss how best to kill every car
I will allow it if and only if there is a post at least once a week for the purpose of reminding the whole world that the BMW 850CSi is the most beautiful car that has ever existed and will ever exist.
This is non-negotiable.
BEEP BOOP COMRADE.
