Car thread

[Insert Name Here²]

I personally love the car! The engine and the way it sounds, the way the car looks and preforms, it's real nice

i'm aware of the differences/similarities, i just want personal opinions

well, I personally like the frowny scion. I have a scion xD (not en amote) now and I'm pretty happy with it, so if I was choosing between a scion or a virtually identical car put together by someone else I'd probably go with the scion

maybe instead of blaming the roads when you don't pay attention, you should just pay attention

It's blatantly obvious you've never driven in the Netherlands.
I am of the opinion you should be able to cross a speedbump on a 50km/h road at 50km/h with at most mild discomfort.
Crossing a speedbump on a 50km/h road at 30km/h should not compress my shocks completely.

Also why do you take every opportunity to take a jab at me? It's like you hold grudges. I was obviously paying attention, as I had reduced my speed from 25ish to 15mph as I said.

i saw warble driving in his winged wagon on my way to a friend's house a couple hours ago lol

50km/h? That's a weird speed limit. We've got 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, and 140.

We got 30 in calm residential zones, 50 everywhere else in a city, 60 on county roads with lots of curves, 70 on large, two-lane in-city roads, 80 on long and straight country roads, 100 on two-lane country roads, 120 on highways with short distances between offramps and 130 on highways with long distanced between offramps.

20 in particular roads which no one respects, not even the transit police.
30 on roads with a bine lane
40 on roads
60/70 on avenues and twolane roads
80 on routes (everyone goes 120 anyways)
100 on highways in the capital
140 on highways

Highways have discriminated speed limits. Minimum is usually 50/60 and max from left to right 140 120 100 80.

130 appears sometimes. Not usually though.

then you don't understand what a speed bump is for

Also why do you take every opportunity to take a jab at me? It's like you hold grudges.

what
I can't remember interacting with you in a meaningful way any time recently, and I certainly don't know what it is you're assuming I'm holding a "grudge" about

Your speed limits vary much more than here where I live. Around here they run from 15 (very rare) to 70mph (24-112km/h).

15 to 25 is basically just for badly paved unmarked roads generally surrounded by people and parking lots.
30 to 35 is generally used for busy two lane (and usually narrow) roads in the middle of towns. These limits are the most enforced by the police.
40 to 45 is mainly used for routes or larger roads passing through towns. They usually have a lot of stoplights.
50 to 55 is mainly used for winding routes away from ample civilization. They usually have recommended curve signs but the speed you go is mainly up to your discretion.
60 to 70 is used for highways and interstates. 60mph roads are the highest speeds that have stoplights. Anything higher is just open highway.

It's for highways over here. Though pretty much no one abides it lol. That's not to say we don't have higher speed limits though.

The only time I ever abide by speed limits is when I'm following a friend, being followed by a friend, have someone else besides me in the car, or if I'm in an area with heavy/strict police presence.

[Pastrey Crust]

I always abide by the speed limit because a) my truck takes some time to accelerate and b) compressed air brakes.

i go 4.999 mph over the limit. you can get pulled over going at least 5 over. it rarely happens, but it's the only reason a cop would need to write you a ticket

thoughts on the 2015/2016 Subaru BRZ?

just saw this

i personally like the frowny-face frs more, but ultimately i'd pick whichever one was available without the hideous stock spoiler option. the often complained-about low power isn't too big of a deal if you plan on modding it but either way there aren't many cars near as good-looking as an ft86 at its given starting price

Except in the strict or speed trap areas, cops around here are pretty consistent with allowing 10 over. Most of the time when passing cops head on such as on a two lane road, they'll allow as much as 20 over just because of the pain of turning around and the good chance that the person will escape before they catch up.

I had a cop follow me in the alfa this morning. He passed me and gave me a head nod
