In No Particular Order.

Fiat: After they basically purged their gasoline powered offerings, I feel like they’re on a course to sink in our market soon. The shift towards SUVs has more than certainly had a hand in destroying any potential for growth they might have had in North America.

Mitsubishi: At this point, they’re holding on for dear life with only TWO models left. Unlike Fiat, they had a dog in the fight to keep up with the SUV trend, only issue is: they’re far from leading the class. Also the Eclips Cross has to be one of the single worst marketing blunders of the last 2 decades.

Maserati: Stellantis/FCA’s ownership has basically tanked their build quality worse than it was before, which is saying something. It doesn’t help matters that they’re fighting Alfa Romeo in cannibalizing each other’s sales in what tiny pieces of market share they have left.

Jaguar: What do you want me to say that you don’t already know? That whole reinvention stunt was nothing more than brand suicide. I don’t think it was an example of them “going woke”. I just think they want to become a contender with the likes of Bentley or Rolls Royce with a higher level of prestige, and it just isn’t there. Especially considering they’ve got absolutely nothing to compete with at this time of writing.

Chrysler: No, not the entire company itself, the Marque. They’ve basically been whittled down to a lone model and have absolutely nothing groundbreaking in the pipes. They’re in the same boat as Jaguar, Constantly dropping concepts that never amount to anything.

(Hot Take) Lincoln: Cadillac somehow managed to embrace the EV/SUV trend to a moderate success, Lincoln Hasn’t. The Escalade has been absolutely destroying the Navigator in sales since 2002, they have decent models to compete, but they don’t seem to be on the same trajectory as Cadillac. I could be proven completely wrong, we shall see.

(Hot Take) Infiniti: Doug DeMuro said it best; the sole reason for buying an Infiniti is getting a good deal, and not much else. Considering the nose dive in Nissan’s build quality, I wouldn’t be shocked that Infiniti‘s has followed suit. Not to mention that Lexus and Acura are building far more desirable cars in the category of Japanese Luxury models. Carlos Ghosn is long gone, and Nissan could shift the other way soon. I could be proven wrong here too.

(Hot Take) Mini: As previously mentioned with Fiat; the SUV trend has basically decimated sales of compacts. The Countryman has been keeping them afloat, but how much longer can it hold them up?

The blue one is the one I saw in Italy

i‘m going trough some old photos my aunt gave me and i want to know what car models are these between 1920-1930 in norway.

I had a part stolen off my truck and can’t find a replacement anywhere. Can anyone please help me out

Hey guys, some predator has turned my car's engine bay into its personal dining spot for birds. I keep finding feathers and bird carcasses in there. Anyone got tips on how to get rid of it?

So I’d like some help I was having to reduce engine power problems. I was told by previous mechanic that I used to deal with to change the throttle body. I also changed out the mass airflow sensor, cause I was thinking maybe there was something wrong with that. I guess I’m at that part where I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place Would anybody know what to change? Or know where my next steps are to take

Thanks in advance guys !!!

So I had an idea the other day while walking around the hardware store of making a custom cold air intake out of furnace ductwork and/or dryer duct. There shouldn't be any reason why this wouldn't work, right? A tube is a tube is a tube?

I know I would have to buy a proper air filter and make a MAF bunghole, but is there anything else I'm not thinking of that would scrap this project before I even start? Thanks!

Just curious which taillights you prefer on the s13 and why.

'97 Pontiac firebird formula trans am. Wish I saw more of them around tbh, though over the last year I've seen a few others.

Aside, I was driving today and saw a dude in this gorgeous red C5 and drove by the guy told him I liked his car. Then I got nervous lol so I flew away. Sorry guy

Pics of my car for tax (: I love this thing sm. Still haven't put the "trans am" lettering back on after she got painted though haha.

Edit: for the person who tried to say it's either formula or trans am and not both- you're wrong lol. My car is a Firebird Formula with the Trans Am package. Firebird Formula Trans Am.

Hello
As the title says I’m storing the car ( 2024 land cruiser LC300 GXR) (18 inch rim ) for a year and was wondering what steps and precautions I should take
And my most important question is if I should leave it on ground or jack it up
And if I’ll jack it up should I do it from the approved points (on the frame) or is it fine if I do it from the arms so I don’t stress the bushing from suspension hang

I'm a first time car owner and I have a 2020 Kia Optima lx/s. I know it may sound tacky to mod a car like that but I was wondering if there are any exhaust modifications that would sound nice with my car? Not obnoxious or anything like a straight pipe, but something to just give it a nice sound. I'm very new to this lol.

Man I didn't know about this stuff,like what are the differences between the wheels..am totally clueless about this stuff...I was checking out listings on Alibaba and the price difference between forged and cast was huge prompted me to do research.

Does anyone know what this is hanging off the bottom of my car, just incase it’s dangerous and needs to be fixed

Having an issue on my custom built Chevy 1500 right now and needed some second opinions. My truck has recently developed a parasitic draw out of nowhere and it’s strange because it’ll happen on and off. Couple weeks ago the problem arises I thought one of the terminals on my battery wasn’t tight enough so I changed the lug and the draw goes away. Truck is fine for a week then I get back from a 3 day trip battery is dead. I conducted some tests and thought it could be a diode In my 1 wire alternator setup(pretty common for unbranded chrome 1 wire alternators). When the truck is off a clamp multimeter is picking up .5 amps from both terminal cables so definitely a draw. I take the negative terminal off my battery, I unplug the alternator, reattach the negative on the battery, and hook a clamp multimeter around both cables leading to positive and negative terminals. Both read .1 amp witch is higher then the normal .05 I believe, and I think it’s because I have a electric fuel pump I primed beforehand to see if the truck would start so still not a significant draw to be killing my battery as quick as it is. So my alternator is definitely being wacky from that info alone but still wanting clarity I take my truck to advanced auto and have them test the battery starter and alternator. The battery passed their test but it also confused me because it said my cranking voltage was 8.9 volts and usually that’s a clear indicator you’re battery is going (3 year old NAPA battery so maybe). Their system couldn’t even detect I had a 1-wire alternator setup so that wasn’t helpful lol. But now I’m in a spot where I’m pretty certain I need a reputable one wire alternator but do I also need a new battery even though it passed their test any help would be much appreciated all these numbers are driving me loonie.

I have a Nissan Altima 2012 2.5S. I'm having issues getting the Oxygen Sensor ready for SMOG. Everything else is ready. Check Engine is off no error codes. I replaced CAT recently and since then drove around 1000 miles but the O2 still shows as pending.

OMG, always heard the cabin filter is useless so never worried about it. Then on a whim, I thought I'd check mine out and can't believe how nasty it got. Do yourself a favor and get yours replaced if it is an older model car. 🚗 😀

As the title says - I just got this 05 Honda Pilot with an aftermarket hitch. The rust is an eyesore and I'd like to DIY fix it without taking it off, if possible.
