Automotive enthusiasts?

@ACApenetrator50  
Yeah 150k is bad. I’m sure my mom’s Chevy Venture would’ve been totaled out if the trans went out lol. At least it isn’t a Ford Edge. They go out at 50k miles
 
 
@The magic 🅱oi  
That’s cool. I have respect for trans shops. They’re so complex to rebuild

@RainbowDash69  
If you can rebuild a trans, props to you because I wouldn’t even know where to start. When I bought my bison, the original 13 speed only had 4 gears that worked and that was 3 of the high gears and reverse. Everything else was a neutral.

@The magic 🅱oi
 
Good hearing it.
 
@MagpulPony
 
That’s better than I could do now. I sometimes got too pissed off at drawing.
 
@The magic 🅱oi
 
That’s fine, if you keep up with changing the ATF and Filter. SO many people never pay attention to that.
 
@ACApenetrator50
 
@RainbowDash69
 
The original trans probably never saw an ATF and Filter Change in its life; that kind of negligence was and still is common. If The Magic 🅱oi keeps changing the ATF and Filter every 2 or 3 years (especially if he uses Amsoil ATF if the Trans can hold it,) the Trans will probably be fine.
 
Mom’s 01 Impala, which either has the 4T65-E or 4T65E-HD, is known well enough for the Trans giving up around 150k. We got the car around 33k miles, though, and I changed the ATF to Amsoil shortly after getting the car. It has 54.5k on it now, and the Trans would probably last 800k easily if I’d keep up with that.

@BarryFromMars  
Yep it’s shocking to me how owner’s manuals say it’s lifetime fluid. My new car says to change every 100k. But my older one (oldsmobile alero) said it was lifetime fluid. So dumb. A quick fluid change can save a trans
 
 
@ACApenetrator50  
Right. Rebuilds cost a lot of money for a good reason!

@RainbowDash69  
Yep. That’s why I bought a new 18 speed instead of rebuilding the 13 speed. 18 gears is better than 13

Spent $80 on 3/4 of a tank of gas today. I literally can’t afford this crap anymore. Gonna have to switch to the cheapest gas.

@MagpulPony  
You should probably stock pile gas.

@ACApenetrator50  
I can barely afford to fill the tank, sure as hell can’t stockpile it.

@RainbowDash69
 
Even the manual for the 84 Caprice Classic I had, said that the ATF (which was Dexron II at the time!) didn’t need to be changed until 100,000 miles. Unless the car was exclusively driven on the Highway for only 3 to 5 years for 100,000 miles, you almost might as well not even bother changing it by that point. 20,000 to 30,000 would have been ideal on the old Dexron II, depending on how the car was driven.
 
Since we have Amsoil ATF now, if you run a transmission on it, the Trans really should last almost forever so long as you change the ATF and Filter now and then. This is assuming that you started using their Synthetic ATF early enough, though. Since the Trans in Mom’s car was around 33,500 when I changed to Amsoil, there wasn’t a problem.

I’ve only seen and heard them on duramax trucks but you can fit a 68mm Danville turbo in any other diesel truck right?

What even is the scene of the car industry right now?

everything is becoming 4 bangers and hybrids

@NitroFury  
Looks like that In Cuba

@Porschepegasus  
Hybrids don’t have to be boring. They can have benefits to performance as well as efficiency.

@Porschepegasus
 
 
This is a hybrid:  

 
And this is a 4 banger:  

 
I fail to see any reason to worry

@FerrariRacerF430  
oh, i shouldve said inline 4 banger

@kleptomage  
still, i prefer pure gasoline/diesel power, the less electric components, the better

@Porschepegasus  
The older the vehicle the better

@Porschepegasus  
True. And honestly for the price of LaFerrari, I’d just buy an armored truck.

@FerrariRacerF430  
Porsche makes really cool hybrids too. With instant torque it is very cool to have
 
 
@Selaphiel  
The new TLX is amazing. Engineered to be better around curves and new SH-AWD. Also Bronco is coming in July. I hear they’re designing a new civic as well
 
 
@NitroFury  
Nice classics….. I’ll post a Lincoln Capri to go with it
 

@FerrariRacerF430  
It’s widely agreed that the 4 cylinder Cayman is a downgrade to the 6 cylinder Cayman. Plus, for a sports car that starts at $60,000, the Cayman ought to have a better engine than the same 2.0 turbo four that’s ubiquitous in cheaper cars.
 
 
@Porschepegasus  
That’s perfectly understandable and I agree, but the future will require compromise. The market just needs to make desirable hybrids.

@Searly Sear  
and a cow

@Porschepegasus  
And a pegasus.
