I drove a Subaru with eyesight automatic emergency braking for a while. It worked pretty well except in snow storms or thick for it would randomly engage the brakes. It also didn't help when I had to stop quick because it was a little slow to react, so I would see something happen and hit the...

I really think manufacturers should focus on making one really cheap car in their lineup. The smart people in the next generation isn't going to drop 40k on an equinox, they'll be driving used cars and cheap sedans because they can't afford anything more expensive or less fuel efficient. Now...

With a cvt transmission and less cargo space than a big sedan:sick:

2018 bmw 328d... it's not new but by '18 they fixed most of the timing chain issues and the best part is no lane keep or other "features" Oh and 40mpg is easily doable You will have to save for eventual emissions repair and it may leak oil but it's still cheaper and more comfortable than a...

Have you tried them? I was looking at these once upon a time.

I'm currently serving a mission in Alberta, Canada, for the Church of Jesus Christ, and they have Subaru crosstreks with nokian wrg5 tires for most of the missionaries. I can see how AWD can get you in trouble, because it's not that hard to get going fast in bad conditions but it is hard to stop...

no it's probably quieter inside the truck. i was just out for a walk and a newer Chevy truck drove past, and sounded like a turbo 4 cylinder. not the same engine at all, just sounds similar. 2010-ish bmw diesels other than that, give me simple efi with no can communications between modules...

i think there's one in my neighborhood i wasn't prepared for Chevy cobalt turbo noises from a truck

unless they're aluminum upgrades (n52 mickey mouse flange, anyone?)

that's easy, just go somewhere without people. the amazon rainforest maybe?

tekton, sunnex, capri, and duratech make up most of my tool collection, along with some harbor freight and craftsman sockets.

i dont think it would be too hard, just go live in the forest where you have no contact with anyone. you would have to find food for 30 days though

yes i understand that it cleans the ring lands, but if the rings are still free and able to seal just fine, then you don't really NEED to remove carbon. the engine will be fine either way. cars with bad design or bad maintenance will have more carbon, or the carbon will actually cause issues...

even supertech isn't bad, it's hot running engines, bad designs, or bad maintenance that cause carbon or sludge.

i like them because its easy to see anything that got caught in the filter. and as the cap and filter spin, the little pin should self align with the hole.

the crank is ok, the block is damaged iirc

on a non-common rail diesel you can loosen one injector line, start it, and then if the tick is gone it was that injector. it will run rough with loose injector lines though also if you only loosen the injector line slightly you can get it to inject less but still inject. then you can mess with...

on my Mitsubishi the transmission fluid runs through external cooler first, then the radiator tank cooler. so if the external cooler works too good the radiator will reheat the fluid I think. and my transmission wont lock the torque converter until it's warm plenty of Australians have 2-3...

ah egr is fixable in bmw, just not legally. the timing chain on the back of the engine is stupid though. the m57 is better because the chain is on the front.

if you're in the car (this lady wasn't so it doesn't apply) you can always just run the carjacker over. just a little bit, like a foot or something.
