High school buddy and his dad put a full chassis and 454 in a Yugo for the hell of it.  That thing was hilarious.

What does "put a full chassis" mean?

Autocorrect changed tube to full.  Doh.

i have been in the new car business for 40 years. not a fan either. they have come a long way, but not far enough. i'm friends with a long time service manager at a hyundai/toyota store . my girlfriend has worked there for years too. i always ask and the answer is the same. toyota thumbs up, the other not so much. i hear toyota having issues too, and mazda knocking them off the reliability throne 

been a honda fan but i got to say, when they moved away from k series motors to the earth dreams ' bullshit with direct injected turbos , er ..not so much. think that was a step backwards in long term reliability.

if i was looking new , id look long and hard at a mazda or toyota above anything else. toyota found a way around the valvetrain carbon issues by offering a direct and port  hybrid  style motors.smart move in the long run i think. hondas going to regret going direct imo, especially on force inducted motors.

 

i would not take a free kia, hyndai, volkswagen or dodge.

Talked to my dad tonight, said he spotted one over their house this evening.

 

As for cars, Toyota all the fuckin way.

The only people who buy Kia's are people who have no idea about Cars. Absolute junk. Worthless after 100k . 

110 000 kms on my 15' si coupe, replaced 2 light bulbs and brakes.change the oil and  thats it.

our work vehicle is a loaded dodge journey. every week its in the shop and it never sees above 60 kph and is constantly maintained and the piece of shit has a new problem every week.

not all vehicles are created equal. ill drive my last of the k series untill the thing evaporates before i buy a new car. just works too well.N/A vtec with port injection and a manual transmission = win. minimum bullshit sensors and shit too.press a button and it turns of traction control and all other nanny features. I love this old thing.

 

girlfriend bought a 23' mazda hatch. thing has been absolute trouble free, great on fuel too. I could do without all the annoying sensors and bullshit.Just more to go wrong and be a nightrmare to fix later on.so far though, its been great.

More Drones, now over NY:

https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/12/12/unidentified-drones-spotted-flying-at-locations-across-nyc/

 

quote: It is illegal to fly drones in New York City without first obtaining a permit through the NYPD.

shoot one down. investigate the wreckage.they must be able to track one till its over water and pick one off?

seeing some wild videos on these.hard to know whats real and whats fake cgi bullshit and mentally ill looking for clicks.

Hard to even know what to post in this thread.  So, that's all I got.  

Wait, here: Can Iran rig one of their drones to carry a nuclear device to NYC?  I mean, with their tech and endless money it'd have to be a small one and they'd need to be real close to the target but, I say do it.

Man, she's really a nice conservative!  They couldn't get her to act or appear ugly enough when she went to NBC so, she did the right thing, leave that ugly ship.  Liberals hate inner and outer beauty...add in the truth and she was doomed there.
