A C180 or a 420i

Hey guys, I am currently looking for a company car. My company gave me some options. I chose 2 of them the C180 and the 420.i.

Can you help me with the decision on what’s the better car. What are the pros and cons? Does anyone had experience with both cars.

I tried both of them and I really couldn’t tell a Hugh difference.

I really liked the infotainment system, the screen and message chairs. But the storage is really small in the C180. I drive a lot so the chair and the infotainment are quite nice.

Experience with American Car Protect?

I am purchasing a 2017 BMW this week and have been getting quotes for extended warranties. I've spoken to Endurance and Car Shield so far, but they seem to be expensive ($5k+ for 3-4 yrs). Today I got a quote from a company named American Car Protect (Link here). They quoted ~$3k for a 5 year, 100k miles (over current odo) bumper to bumper plan with just a $100 deductible.

I can't seem to find any other reference to them and per Google, they were first indexed in 2024. I'm wondering if this is a rebrand of some of the scam ones from years past or how legit they are. They seem to be unique from American Vehicle Protection Corp (which has FTC litigation) and American Dream Auto.

Does anyone know this place / have experience with them?

Camry from Hell

That is, without a doubt, the ugliest Camry I think I’ve ever seen. I just doused my eyes with bleach and I still feel violated by it. (Satire)

Do I need to go to servicing when the dealer calls me?

2022 Civic Hatchback

I have done 2 services at 10km and 20km. My dealer recently called me saying I'm due for another servicing but I’m only at 26km not 30km yet. They want to do an oil change, tire rotation, some transmission thing, and wheel alignment.

Is it a bad idea to wait or should I book it right now?

What's the future of ICE cars running on e-fuel?

UE accepted compromise about BAN new ICE cars, and allow to register new ICE cars made after 2035 only in condition if they run on e-fuel. Germany was very strongly pushing for that exception.

So what do you think?
Do you think that BMW, Mercedes or any other factory will actually make ICE cars that run on this e-fuel? Porsche at the moment promising 911 running on ICE, rest is about to go EV.

It is, hard to imagine that the only type of vehicle in production will be EV.
I am aware that price will be bigger than regular fuel at first, but sooner than later fuel itself is about to run out. So i guess it is good idea, to start creating renowable fuel.

can i piggyback a car stereo from my cabin light fuse

the stereo i want to put in my car is a sony DSX-A410BT, the fuse for the interior light is 10amps but is that enough to handle the stereo? car is a vauxhall corsa d 2012, if the amps need to be more could i just use the radio fuse or windscreen wash system fuse which are both rated at 20amps?

I want to make a total ricer, but on a budget.

Yes yes, I know loud noise, flashy shit bad etc....

I want to make the most ridiculous and pointless ricer out of my old corolla, but I'm on a very limited budget. Tell me how.

I have already done the deletion of the exhaust, what's next? Weird LED light bars everywhere? 5' tall wing?

Details people, details!

SUCHE Quad/Buggy mit defekt

Ich suche einen Quad (so einen wie oben👆) der entweder:

Einen Schden am Motor,

Einen Schaden an der Schaltung/Getriebe oder

In sonst einen teuer/irreperalen Schaden hat (Licht Elektronik ect.)

solange der Rahmen und eventuell Federung noch in brauchbarem Zustand ist hätte ich grosses Interesse ihn zu einem guten Preis zu Kaufen.

Auch bin ich für Tipps oder Websiten wo man einen solchen Quad finden sehr dankbar.

Is there an EV model shaped and sized like this Yaris cargo vehicle? (Any manufacturer worldwide can be considered)

https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/toyota-yaris-verso.html?sortBy=relevant

-that has a range of 185000 miles 300000 km -is tall -is light (for an EV) -small turning circle/ easy parking (small) -(ideally) charges under 7 hours

Or like this mitsubishi i-miev

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a16578912/mitsubishi-i-miev-cargo-auto-shows/

Need small delivery vehicle. Nothing fancy.

Like a nissan nv200 but somewhat smaller.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present you L A M P

So I brought two of these, one for my daily and the other for my weekend car. This is my weekend ride, by the way. Though not the most period-correct accessory, it can truly transform a car's feel.

Low fuel pressure, misfiring, stalling, 1994 Z/28

My 94 Z/28 has been giving me trouble nonstop for a month now. I was driving on the highway one day and merged into the fast lane only for the car to immediately start misfiring and losing power upon acceleration.

Afterwards and still now the car will usually start but I can't go fast in it, don't trust it to drive that long/far, and cannot accelerate hard or it will lose power, misfire, or even stall and not start for anywhere from 10 minutes to a couple hours.

I changed the fuel filter and the car ran better than it ever has since I've had it. I was beating on it pretty hard to make sure it was back to normal and it seemingly was. Next day the issues come back. I spent 6 hours changing the fuel pump, didn't change a single thing. Fuel pressure at the rail is 35 at idle, rises to 40ish under load but within half a second it drops to roughly 30-32. At this point it will misfire if I keep sustained throttle. I've ran fuel detergent and injector cleaner through it.

My optispark and plugs were all changed about 10k miles ago (not sure the exact number) when my motor was rebuilt.

I'm running out of ideas here and honestly have no clue what to do next. Any help or feedback whatsoever would be very much appreciated!

May get a 2012 Chevy Cruze, is that a bad decision to make in 2024?

I could get it for $5k, it has 80k miles, and drives well! I've ridden in it a few times and it seems smooth. I was told by the person selling that she has had no mechanical issues with it recently and just replaced the wheels. I don't know much about the mechanics of an older care and of a chevy, would this be a bad buy?
