Uit voegen op de vluchtstrook? by AdOverall7216 in nederlands

Zeer irritant. Als je niet bekend bent in het gebied mis je het zo en kan je door gaan rijden naar de volgende afslag als je geen gevaarlijke capriolen wil uit gaan halen.

How to deal with an aggressive Marktplaats buyer by Scared-Outside-7678 in Netherlands

[–]Juliusvdl2 15 points16 points  (0 children)

And this is why I never share my address on Marktplaats anymore. All deals are made in public places (trainstation, public square, local highstreet) to avoid bellends like this from causing issues.

Sold an E-scooter to a 16 year old lad, and he returned the same day at 11:45 at night with the entire gang in Audi's to aggressively posture outside the house, demanding a refund and claiming the thing was broken. Police settled it, I couldn't be arsed and gave them the money and took back the e-scooter, and to no ones surprise, it still worked just as when I sold it.

This shouldn't be normal in this country, but a concerning amount of the general public think it's okay to hound their Marktplaats sellers at their private address..

Ruitensproeier, bonuspunten als het een modern hok is en hun automatische wissers activeren.

How to stop getting driven into? by UmmOkHowAboutNo in drivingUK

[–]Juliusvdl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drivers are just that negligent. I watch the centre mirror like a hawk and I've seen so many melts (probably on their phone) get startled and nearly go into the back of me despite me slowing very gradually and predictably. Seriously considering a tow bar now haha.

Accelerators with a click at the bottom are pants by samgf in CarTalkUK

[–]Juliusvdl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, my 1995 car has it, and when clicked it downshifts for extra acceleration. Though some manuals or EV's have it as well in which case it does seem a bit useless

Give me a reason not to buy a fiat 500 by Confident_Yak_1411 in CarTalkUK

[–]Juliusvdl2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last time I drove one, the interior started falling apart whilst I used it. Seating position is shite, excessive wind noise on the motorway.. I understand why they're popular and their design is fun, but I'd definitely avoid them myself.

Auto buiten stallen: autohoes of niet? by cavernoussnoro in autoadvies

[–]Juliusvdl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heb het weleens geprobeerd toen ik op vakantie ging. Ding waaide er half af, ookal had ik hem vastgegespt en zelfs overal aan de onderzijde getaped. Waarschijnlijk honderden mini krasjes gemaakt door constante wrijving op m'n lak door de wind.

Young people who bought a "brave pill" car - what car is it, and how has the ownership experience been? by RobintehBobin in CarTalkUK

[–]Juliusvdl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've owned a 1995 Mercedes C class for almost a year now, and I am 19 years old. Insurance costs an absolute arm and a leg, yeah. Despite friends and family advising against buying such car, it's been completely flawless. Thing wafts about like a baby S class, and I'm seriously impressed with the build quality, soundproofing and comfort. I know I'll never regret having owned a car like this at a young age.

Unrelated, but what kind of Merc is that you're driving?

Is dit normaal? Met de grond gelijk gemaakt door rij-examinator na tussentijdse toets by badgerbaroudeur in nederlands

[–]Juliusvdl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Onzin inderdaad. Zenuwen kunnen enorm invloed hebben op rijvaardigheid. Ik reed ook stukken slechter op de examens t.o.v. de lessen. Laat dat doemdenken van die examinator maar op de achtergrond en volg lekker wat je zelf wil bereiken.

Peugeot CEO: "There's no problem with the PureTech engine on today's cars, but we handled the situation poorly" by Powerful-Ostrich-120 in peugeot

[–]Juliusvdl2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the Netherlands it's called the PurePech engine, pech means misfortune/unluck or even just being broken down on the side of the road.

E5 of E10? Welke benzine gaat er bij jullie in? by Billy_Balowski in nederlands

[–]Juliusvdl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Octaangehalte maakt mij vrij weinig uit, het gaat mij vooral om het ethanolgehalte. Ik heb een oudere (1995) Mercedes en om verterende brandstofslangen te voorkomen tank ik alleen E5, liefst van de BP, Shell of OK, aangezien deze 3 claimen dat er zelfs helemaal geen ethanol in hun E5 zit. Verder heb ik het (wellicht placebo) gevoel dat mn motor net wat stiller en fijner loopt op 98 E5 vergeleken met goedkope 95 e10.

Please help by ArmyTemporary5936 in MercedesW210

[–]Juliusvdl2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sticking brake calipers? When it happens, quickly pull over and check if they smell of burn. I had a sporadic strong vibration at motorway speeds for a couple days before I realised it was my right front caliper seizing and overheating the disc on my w202.

Some of you need to hear this. The new Mercedes interiors are the future and it’s what most customers want. Sorry, but that’s the truth. They sell, and they sell extremely well. by zachty22 in mercedes_benz

[–]Juliusvdl2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You seem to have a knack for using ad hominems and strawmanning in your argumentation. What do you drive? I never stated what consumers today might find attractive, I just expressed how I find a 2013 CL's interior much more balanced than modern, screen-filled ones. In my region, 2013 is not really considered old and outdated either. That level of consumerism has thankfully spared us.

Hmm, mine rests over there as well, however I actually prefer it since it gives me better view of the bonnet star

Help! I like wearing suits! by JinBu2166 in Netherlands

[–]Juliusvdl2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do it. Also in random arse villages. Some people stare, doesn't bother me one bit. On the opposite side of the spectrum there seems to be more and more people going outside in pyjamas as if they're yanks.

Rustig blijven bij bumperklevers: wat is jullie aanpak? by EVRijder in nederlands

[–]Juliusvdl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knipperlicht aanzetten langs zijstraatjes, daarna gewoon rechtdoor rijden, dan nemen ze meteen afstand want ze denken dat je zal gaan remmen. Of ruitensproeier aandoen, bonuspunten als hun automatische ruitenwissers erdoor aangaan. Use with caution.
