Still waiting for an explanation why a car is something to be obsessed over
I just went out andboughtanother car just to spite you, wormie. Mmmmm 4x4 low with locking rear differential!
Your car can't make toast. Checkmate dickcheeseToasters won't give you the same sense of pride when you beef it up to more than it's stock components. Toasters don't tell everyone around you "I'm doing well in life." Toasters can't give you a rush or the feel of doing 150mph. Your 1985 Sentra can't hit a turn at 90mph smooth as butter. Bitches will choose the ugly mofo in the Maybach over the cute guy in the Dodge Neon.
I can see, hear, feel the results of my money being spent with my car (whether good or bad). I can show YOU those same results without saying a word to you as I pass you by. For some people status matters...cars are one of the few ways people can show their status with little to no interaction with said person.
There are many reasons for car obsession, choose one.
Mine has a 115V inverter built in so I can plug in a toaster in and it can most definitely make toast.Your car can't make toast. Checkmate dickcheese
Seen lots of guys "cook" on an engine or at least reheat in the military.Your car can't make toast. Checkmate dickcheese
BMW's dual clutch does what you're saying, sort of: Mash the gas to the floor until it hits the kick-down button under the gas pedal and then pull the left (downshift) paddle and it'll kick to the lowest gear it can for instant go.The only thing manuals do better still (IMO) could be eliminated by proper transmission tuning and paddle shifters. Most autos I've driven (including the newest gen performance models) still 'brute force' multi-gear shifts and even then, they don't 'stack' them. I think an auto with double paddle (top 1 gear up/down and bottom 2 gear up/down while in sport mode) would really liven up driving feel and let you 'preemptively' aggressively down shift.
When it comes to wheels, the smaller the wheel and the larger the tire sidewall, the better the ride. Ultimately, however, it's a combo of wheel, tire and suspension.
Don't get me started on this. Drives me nuts! Especially on off-road vehicles. I drive a 2013 Land Rover LR4 and the damn thing comes stock with 19" wheels (20" optional) as standard. It's baffling that a truck like a Land Rover built on its off-road pedigree cripples that capability by attaching big wheeled low profile shit tires. They burn countless millions in R&D on the Terrain Response System (way before any other manufacturers did), then pull a stupid move for aesthetics. I actually wouldn't mind the big wheels if they had an 18" no cost-option. But no, to get the full use out of my truck, I have to go and spend a couple grand on wheels and tires to use it to its potential.There are other practical issues with the stupid mother fucking wagon wheel fad. Hint: there's a reason track cars don't use low profile tires.
