Date: March 27th, 2024 8:48 PM Author: irradiated address Cr. Boomers were fed a healthy diet of car propaganda and they greedily lapped it up. They were sold the idea that wasting their wageshekels on a quickly-depreciating asset was manly. Of course, using any other form of transportation is retarded and gay, but a car is worthless for anything beyond getting around. Americucks can’t even air their performance vehicles out without getting a speeding ticket. If I lived in Germany, I’d be willing to spend more on a nice car but in America it’s pointless consumption (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5509974&forum_id=2#47533451) |

1. Cars are 180 2. Cars are not 180 enough to justify the amount of money the vast majority of people spend on them.

Date: March 27th, 2024 8:18 PM Author: Magenta Adventurous Karate I work with car "enthusiasts" who are very passionate about specific makes and models. They get into arguments about stupid shit like V6 vs. V8 or certain trims. They also go to car meets and post videos of themselves "racing" down the highway. I told them I just want basic transportation and they think I'm a weird fag. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5509974&forum_id=2#47533353) |

Date: March 28th, 2024 12:32 PM Author: rose messiness pisswyrm This. Like a crash course on material sciences for those who have only book learned it. The geometries. The ability to resist forces. The sheer feel OF everything manly and mechanical…
Picked up the MIT Klepper book after I started learning about engineering and physics of car engines.
Also starting to be an entry point into hardware programming and electrical engineering as the ECUs need to be tweaked when you modify sensors/engine swaps, highly modified after market shit, etc.
To find the right balance of thermal equilibrium, pressure, torque, efficiency, among ALL modules and units of a car is a worthwhile endeavor of SCHOLARSHIP.
Modyfying your exhaust manifold for a minimal torque curve shift is prole as fuck and 97% of “car people”.
Also a control freak and possibly aspie. No amount of money can ever substitute the pleasure of something I/we built panel by panel. |
