  I don’t trust people with garages that clean

    They’ve got the showroom floor; it’s just for show.

    The tools always look completely unused, like the antique kitchen tools my mom hung on the wall for decoration.

      A proper garage should have exposed framing and a pile of spiders next to a pile of grandpas drill bits

    Americans haven’t had garages for 30 years. They have on-site storage units. Some of which can fit a car.

      I still want Dirk Pitt’s house: A studio apartment above a large aircraft hangar.

  I actually really like the idea of using a cardoor logo downward shooting bulb for a fridge light

    What makes you like it? I think it’s fucking dumb

      There are companies I like, but there’s a limit to my simping for any of them. Projection light on your fridge door crosses a line.

  One thing about the 350Z bit. When you have a two-door sports car, the doors tend to be noticeably longer than any four-door, and that does make it harder to get out when someone parks too close. Having had a 370Z in the past (which is basically the same frame as the 350Z), this is definitely the case there. I have an NC Miata now, and even on that the doors are longer than you might think.

  By the looks of it, 350Z guy could have parked closer to the front of the lot if he wanted. He didn’t, on purpose, and still got jammed in for no reason.

    Back when I was a smoker I would park in the back of the lot and smoke my cigarette (disgusting, I know). But what always got me is I’d purposely hold the cigarette up high if another car came into the lot near me but even in an empty lot people would still park right next to me, get out and glare me. What a bunch of stupid fucks.

    I suppose, but… coming from the world of GC Impreza coupes and even NC Miatas, I think this driver just has main character syndrome. The empty spaces nearby may have not been empty when the other car arrived, and people just frankly don’t think about things as much as we may think they do.

    Two door sports cars with back seats especially, the Camaro I was raised in had doors that must have been 5 feet long.

    I chipped the paint on the edge of my door and now if my door touches another car it stabs through their paint. I put on bumpers to stop this. But sometimes they still don’t work. My Mustang is tough to get in and out of.

  That one with the clutch is definitely a shitpost lol

  But the others… must be hard to pee with that.

  • UxyIVrljPeRl@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    It probably is, but technical the clutch is only required for getting the initial gear in. And even that can be ignored on some Cars.

    • Nikls94@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      You’re totally correct! But I think this is like “cleaning dirt off motherboards using destilled water” where arguing with those who don’t know is pointless.

      clutch is only required for getting the initial gear in

      Is that still the case for modern synchro cars?
