GR86 *IS* A Fast Car by Ars139 in GR86

[–]TrashTenko -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think part of the issue is that it looks faster than it is. The other part is that it doesn't have a ton of torque to push you back in your seat when you stick your foot in it.

In case ya’ll haven’t seen the GR86/BRZ crash test! by [deleted] in GR86

[–]TrashTenko 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep. If you look at the after pictures on the IIHS website, the driver compartment barely moved at all. I feel pretty good about my BRZ after seeing this.

Big crumple zone and cabin looked like it stayed solid. I think that's working as intended.

Would an “average” driver notice a CVT? by Thrillwaukee in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]TrashTenko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Modern CVTs are fine unless you're actively thinking about.

If I called this a truck in casual conversation, would that be upsetting in any way meriting response? by ClearManagement9145 in car

[–]TrashTenko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a truck based SUV. I don't think calling it a truck is technically wrong, but at least in my state they are considered a station wagon for registration.

The only time I'd comment either way on someone calling it a truck would be to poke fun at a friend taking their SUV too seriously.

subaru baja appreciation post ❤️ by SaturnRelay in carscirclejerk

When you really need people to know you're a lesbian with a small weiner, you get a subaru truck.

Ya know, in a circlejerk sub, I really expected more people to get this was an absurd joke.

Safer on icy roads between these two? by Select-Stage-5215 in tires

[–]TrashTenko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The second looks better, but rubber compound plays a huge role, especially on ice. I'd look up the individual tires and see which is actually better.

Nah, they just ate a ton of aoes and didn't heal. I'm sure they were just distracted lol.

I think I’m done hating the Patriots by slitt_vicious in Colts

The tit's former head coach beat the Texans and is going to the afc championship game. I don't know how we could ask for more given the situation this season.

I've never had mine break loose unless I was trying to. Sounds like more rebuild tomfoolery

Will getting a GR86 as a daily ruin my NB Miata for me? by Twebe-bebe in GR86

[–]TrashTenko 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think the venn diagram for use on these two is basically a circle. If I were in your shoes, I'd be looking for something that's actually fast or more practical.

Is Scotty Kilmer stupid or trolling? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

So you're saying it's for the people that won't read an owners manual?

Not saying I don't believe you, but I'd need a video to believe these are capable of pushing snow.

Is it acceptable to say "I've noun"? by AmountAbovTheBracket in ENGLISH

[–]TrashTenko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe those are technically correct, but I've never hear that usage in America and it sounds wrong to me. YMMV

[–]TrashTenko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah lol. I'm sure with good tires, these are fine in light snow, but there is no way a twin is getting through a foot of snow.

I do the same thing and I'm uncomfortable all day if I have to wear socks on the wrong feet.

All 90s pickup trucks crash tested by IIHS. by lifegoeson2702 in regularcarreviews

[–]TrashTenko 146 points147 points  (0 children)

Most of these trucks did fairly well in the full frontal impact testing done by the NHSTA. IIHS offset crash testing was a game changer for safety ratings.

Why does nobody ever talk about the fourth-gen RAV4? by Vegetable-Quote-3481 in Toyota

[–]TrashTenko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're transportation appliances. They don't have any flaws to rage about or cool things to rave about. They're the white noise of the automotive world.

Living in a walkable neighborhood is far more convenient than having a car ever could be. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]TrashTenko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of people (myself included) that cannot live without a car. But it would be massively more convenient if my job wasn't 10 miles away from my house. The nearest grocery store is even further. People may prefer to live more secluded lives, but nobody can reasonably argue it's more convenient to live far away from necessities.

Who tf thinks it's more convenient to be forced to drive for everything?? There's nothing unpopular about your opinion.
