General Car Discussion

It was... like... not to be taken seriously...?

 

*sigh* the Rodius's HVAC fan is starting to make a noise now, sounds like its bearings are on their last legs. Considering most blower fans are buried behind the dashboard I hope it doesn't get any worse. The car is only 2012 and 48k miles on it

 

So the first one than.

 

I've lived around Swindon my whole life and lived in Swindon for 6 years so I can describe a type of town:
The depressing neglected sh*thole
Swindon greatly fits into this category, as its got a population of 195,000 people, it is full of chavs, its neglected and as mentioned.

 

Hey do you guys want to see a crashed a brand new NSX also here a new Honda it kinda looks like a AMC Javelin

 

Would much rather that than a video of someone driving passed a crashed one.

 

Well that what happens when you find a video off of Car Throttle and didn't watch it

 

I quite like their YouTube channel, but the quality of reporting on their website is absolutely trash tier. It's almost as if they do 0 research into anything they post. Then use the most sensationalist headlines and writing they can possibly get away with without flat out spewing bs.

 

Any opinions on the old NSX?

 

If I were a rich man, I would buy one without a second thought. Of course, that's just based on having driven one in GT6, and that involved a lot of spins, so maybe that wouldn't be the best idea.

 

Hey how long do you think Tesla would last?
I would give them 3 more years into they go Bankrupt, mostly because the Chevy Bolt is out selling them this fucking thing

 

I too say theyll go bankrupt the next years espacially seeing that theyr quality is rather poor and theyre on top of the unreliable cars with the model 3 and model x

 

This.

And their offering being constituted strictly of non-affordable semi-premium vehicles is not going to help.

 

I have to say today if you want apremium vehicle why would you buy something unproven? You could just get an audi bmw or merc wich will work better

 

I wouldn't buy either of them but yeah, I see your point...

 

I too wouldnt buy either id buy a giulia if id have to get a midsize sedan or a skoda superb

 

The Ford Falcon from Speedhunters is now for sale, kinda odd if you ask me.

I think Tesla will be more than fine. They've got a backup moneymaker in the power packs and battery technology and I think their cars will keep selling anyway. Just because there are cheaper options doesn't mean the S and X won't sell, they've got name brand recognition now. Also the model 3 isn't really proven one way or the other so who knows how that will go.

 

As long as the hype train is going strong, Tesla will stay afloat.

 

guess who's car battery died again...
Mine, again
*sigh* so we come out to around 8c cold car, put the radio on until my mum was ready (around 1 minute) and then she starts it and click all the lights go out and nothing. So i run and grab my battery jumper thing and it says it has full charge, but as soon as i draw current for it the meter stabilises and its on 0%. At least the jumper leads got a bit warm.
My family haven't got any jumpleads (thats what ownership of a japanese vehicle does to you) so tomorrow i suppose with a new battery from the local halfords it will be running again.
