I slowly went from the toll to a gas station, had the guy at the place check it and thrns out, S10s have a "security system" that reduces your horsepower when the injectors are dirty. He told me to restart it every time it appears and take it slowly until I can get them clean.

loving bullstuff. I should be able to burn that filth like I used to do with my car.

you shouldn't have got a Chevy S10.

you shouldn't have got a Chevy S10.

Couldn't afford anything else that was 0km. It drives decently though.

did you have to buy something so new? you couldve picked up a used truck/car that may have actually been MORE reliable AND cheaper.

[Pastrey Crust]

Cheaper, yeah, of course. But a) I would've loved having a new car and b) none of the trucks for sale were below the 100.000km. I've hit 95.800km with the past three years. It was also my parent's money so I didn't really have much of a choice when it came to paying.


Also, this truck is reliable. The issue is the damaged front thanks to my mom. It left the air filter pretty much exposed but the insurancecigarettes need the owner to contact them and if you think that my mom would ever bother going to the city center for the insurance, I might as well forget about it. I can legally now have the car under my name though so I'm going to have to ask her to change the ownership.

100,000 km is hardly over 60k miles

the only cars i looked for before i got my 330ci were ones that were 90-130k, because during that period is usually when you have to start performing major maintenance/replace everything, and i was hoping to find a car where the owner was smart enough to have had already done all that for me. that way, i could (and did) get a nice car that is ready for another 100k miles, at 1/6 of the price it would've costed new

just something to remember when you go to buy your second vehicle: financing a new vehicle is a waste of money

[Pastrey Crust]

It was paid up-front before the prices exploded.

Lol not too many people your age get new cars, your expectations are too high. I wouldn't complain about having 100000km on it either. Most modern vehicles can make it well past 350000km before stuff starts to fall apart.

I've probably shortened my life by like 20 years with the amount of body filler dust I've inhaled

I'm aware of this and my expectations fell below the ground after a bullstuff 75% tax the precious government put on vehicles. My truck costed $270.000 ars and it's now way past $800.000 ars.

And I wouldn't care about the kilometers if it was a car for the city (mine hit 1.200.000 before ripping the carter) but for a truck to tug, actually use as a real truck and not as a tool to show how small my rooster is, I wanted to have those as low as possible.

Of course, that was all before stuff happened (like usual, tbh. Nothing surprises me anymore). Now my parents are struggling paying off the bills.

My brother has bought the mazda, pics to come as soon as tomorrow, im hyped, he's on his way home from Detroit right now, ill see it in about an hour
then we will have a Camry vs 626 drag race tonight at 3am

[Georges]

I swear it seems like your family buys cars every few weeks.

[warble]

no I just cant shut up about cars I would like to buy or that were looking at, anyway the search is over, but he comes home with it, and takes me for a ride, I look at it, and im like "yeah this thing is pretty nice." I get in to drive it and my whole opinion flips on its head, the gearbox is slushy as forget I accidentally shifted 4th to 3rd twice. the clutch also is like brand new so its really strange and grabs at the very top after an extremely long travel. The brake pedal is too high off the floor and I kept hitting my head on the roof, my overall opinion is "welp, its not my $1800.00" But then he told me it needs new tires *facepalm*

[XR-7]

Some guys in an eclipse were trying to get my attention as I was driving home. Kept reversing and moving forward at the stoplight perpendicular to mine while waving their hands and making gestures. Still trying to figure out if they actually know me or they're just dumb kids. Anyway, I made sure to squeal my tires for them in appreciation.

There is this one red 2016 camaro in my town that's always acting like an absolute forgetwit on the road. They ride my ass on the highway, cut me off, dont use their signal, go as fast as possible on the highway while it's crowded, and getting within a mile of it makes everything vibrate because their damn subwoofer is too loud. forget that red camaro in particular.
