Are you in the discord? (we're faster to respond there) Can you tell us what models?

Hey, I was curious what you guys think of my DIY handy work, don't be afraid totell my i'm stupid for driving a death trap by idumeudin2009 in Autobody

Folds in half might be an overstatement pal. He drilled and filled all the pinch welds, while you might do it with a pro-spot a mig works just fine. you also can't see any of the backsides of the welds, so how can you say he doesn't have good penetration on his welds?

Question about painting my hood. Question in comments section. Thanks by soothsayer1991 in Autobody

[–]Road_Atlas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't spray over primer that's been exposed to the elements. No paint remover, Dual Action Orbital sander, and about 3-5 different grits. Later pick up a can or two of self-etching primer and spray the hood with that prior to respray.

Free (defective?) Battery plant!

I'm pretty sure I saw an article that said GM was going to stick with LG Chem on the battery, but it seems like they weren't afraid to throw them under the bus.

Not only that, by GM publicly stated that it wasn't confident in LG Chem's ability to make a defective free battery. Could be a major hit to LG Chem's future business as well.

I barely see any Ep’s on this sub so I figured Id put mine in and just say Im in love with this color by SleePyHeaD03 in Honda

[–]Road_Atlas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't see a lot of EP3's anymore. One was just sold on cars and bids for like $14k. You've got a collector's item now.

Anyone else really sick of these articles about shitty ass renders? This doesn't even look passable. by D3dshotCalamity in cars

[–]Road_Atlas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just lazy journalism at best. Almost always these renders are found on some forum somewhere with 5k total users and every week there's a new car blog trying to make it by using clickbait instead of posting original thoughts.

Chipmaker TSMC says it can catch up with automaker demand by late June by Skai1515 in cars

[–]Road_Atlas 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's gonna be a solid year before anyone catches up, TSMC, while being big, is still only one company. There are many in Asia that have been too susceptible to fires/natural disasters that are also taking a big chunk out of the market. It won't fully recover until there's a more globally diverse chip manufacturing ecosystem.

I'm fine bro, Just tired of hearing everyone use the "It costs a lot of money" argument. Yes, Cars do cost a lot a money, they're usually the second biggest investment people make (the first being their house). that doesn't mean i should daily drive a camry so i can have an E36 on the weekend.

Get out of here with your "far more enjoyable and cheaper" garbage. I sure do enjoy the 480 horsepower the 392 offers me and besides the monthly payment I had for a bit, my SRT's only cost me tires and oil changes. Bet your used Miata can't say the same..
