't need to wait for it to warm up to start driving. Just don't drive it hard and your fine.
Maybe give it 10 seconds for oil to circulate.
>>16151704
Until the temp gauge moves a notch (~5 minutes)
I wait until the oil pressure stops rising, so maybe 30 seconds?

What are you, new?
You can still be a good friend and drive them home when you have some fucking vomit bags handy in the car.
Is it too much to ask to just have some grocery bag in reach?
Problem solved -> vomit in bag, friend bought home safely and car still clean.

That's why you need a beater DD friendo :^)
What do you keep in your car for daily use and for emergency use?
full size spare, bottle jack, battery charger, booster cables, fuses, hair drier, jerry can, sheathing tape, tire gauge, wrench, flare, straps, flashlight, liter of water in a glass jar, -10 c sleeping bag, super long extention cord, matches, old cellphone, wood stake, paper, pencil, pen, $20 bill, cliff bars, candies, dog food, book or magazine, socks, waterproof heavy boots, sunglasses, hat,

Small set of tools, first aid and snacks for the kids. It's nice not to drive a shitbox

Look up the previous archived threads on this.
You didn't even list what you keep in your car.
sup guys I was redlining my truck last night on a dirt road for about 10 minutes, the truck started to get hot after I left but I thought no bigs since I was just at redline for a lil bit.
Started it up this morning and drove around for about 15 minutes no probs, then I downshifted and tried to push it in 2nd gear to see if it overheated and it started to overheat.
Coolant reservoir is full, no oil or coolant mixing as far as I can tell. headgasket seems fine for now.
I opened the radiator cap and of course kaboom coolant everywhere but the coolant resovoir...

I'm assuming you're newer here. Do not give this faggot replies other than telling him to fuck off.
So yea, this is gona be funny
I just hit a shitty Renault with my Cruze. I ran away, and picked this up from the floor before I ran. What is this? Is it part of my car or probably his? Lmao
its a tracking device specifically designed for this sort of thing happening, you're fucked OP
side note, fuck you for hitting and running
>>16172595
Hit & run is a federal crime, fuckwit. Enjoy those charges, you deserve it.
Oh, and by the way, how many purses do you own you fucking queerbait shitlord ass vacuum?
>>16172595
nice purse, fag
Anyone have experience with the optimum no rinse? I've been using meguiars for years on my C6 but I'm hearing more and more good things about ONR. The main thing I'm worried about is micro marring with a rinseless formula. My vet is black so almost anything shows up on it.
onr is good
really fucking good
>>16172691
also, any rinseless wash will carry some risk, basically it's up to your discretion about when to use it and when not to, but its not designed for even mild dirtiness or grime
>>16172697
>but its not designed for even mild dirtiness or grime
This.
ONR is made to be used on light dirt and grime. Let's say your driving your vet and it gets a little rain on it, this is when ONR is great. Maybe 10-15 minutes and your car will have a clean and slick look to it. But if it rains and mud gets all over your vet, stick with Meguiars. Most rinseless formulas are made for very light duty work.
So I have a budget of roughly $20k USD.
I'm torn between a C5 vette (2001 to 2004 only) and a 2nd gen Porsche Cayman (2007 and newer in particular). Not a Cayman S - it will put me over budget. It would be used mostly for spirited backroad driving, road trips, and the very rare day at the track. I already have a daily driver.
I've test driven a few examples of each and they both have their pros and cons. I'm not looking at any single vehicle at the moment, so I'm not linking anything right now. Just waiting for the right one to come along.
I'm...

Put 10-15k down and finance a cayman s.
I'd probably go with an earlier Cayman S, but I seem to be the only person that actually likes how they look.
>>16172466
The Cayman is just the better car. Power is overrated once you get past the point where you can burn rubber when you leave parking lot. I've driven both base and the Porsche handles just so much better it's a very compact car while remaining more than enough accomodation for 1 more peasant and his shit.
How do I convince my parents not to get a 2014 Chevy Cruze from the dealer, for winter driving mainly.
I suggested to buy a slightly damaged, if at all, car from copart, or a cheap car from Craigslist but he keeps shilling the Cruze.
How do I change his mind?
You can't

>>16172442
Makes sense.
I guess once Dads have a method of buying cars that works for them and they never have a *major* problem with it, it's hard to change there minds about it since they are so comfortable with it.

Show him how much money he's wasting over time instead of buying a civic for 3k.

Hello /o/ so I just sold an old bass I had for $130 (cad) and now I'm wondering about some intial mods I can do to my car, I wanted to do something to help acceleration and/or engine sound, thinking about starting off with a K&N filter.

>>16171741
ok iphone poster i will try to explain this for your busrider brain
they mean the power delivery on the stingray makes it more enjoyable than the Z06
where it comes too quickly /abruptly and the extra power you get is not that enjoyable in the end
What is your approach when buying from a dealer? Does it differ if you're buying new or used?
Do you take the "look asshole, I'm not playing your game" approach? Or do you take the more passive approach and let them do their thing?
What are some general do's and don'ts'?
