How do you tackle the white LED glare problem? I started wearing 2 pairs of sunglasses at night, one with a yellow tint that removes the soulless from the ambience and a regular dark one that attentuates eye strain a bit. Glare still blocks my vision and at this point I just tell myself if I crash it's not my fault since I can't see shit. I was thinking of buying some custom glasses, How do anti-glare filters work for you? How do the yellow piss filter lenses fare?

Indian Family Spends Over $4,500 on Lavish Funeral for Faithful SUV: An Indian family recently went viral for their decision to send their old Suzuki Wagon to the grave rather than the scrapyard in a lavish burial ceremony attended by around 1,500 people. They say you shouldn’t get too attached to material possessions, but try telling that to the Polara family in Padarshinga Village, Gujarat, who recently said goodbye to their 18-year-old Suzuki Wagon R by laying it to rest in a lavish burial ceremony attended by over 1,500 locals. The Polara believed the popular hatchback to be their “lucky” car so they wanted to say goodbye to it properly, rather than abandoning it at a scrapyard after nearly two decades of faithful service. Patriarch Sanjay Polara told reporters that he owns several more expensive cars, including an Audi, but credits the old Wagon R for being instrumental in achieving prosperity for his family, so he wanted to do something special for it. The Polaras had a 15-foot-deep burial pit dug on their property and then slowly had the small hatchback lowered into it via a makeshift slope. The car was covered with flower petals and decorated with colorful garlands as music played from portable speakers. The family then covered it with a green cloth and performed several rituals as part of a ceremony that reportedly cost over $4,500. They even had a samadhi (shrine) erected for their beloved Suzuki Wagon R. https://www.odditycentral.com/auto/family-spends-over-4500-on-lavish-funeral-for-faithful-suv.html

CHINK CAR CENTURY: Xiaomi Auto has set a new record. For the first time in history, an automotive company has shipped 100,000 cars in 230 days (since its inception). For comparison, Tesla took 12 years to reach this milestone. On November 13, the woman in the photo received the 100,000th sedan. Lin Shiwei, Xiaomi's CFO, stated that the company's financial reserves amount to a whopping $21 billion. Last month, the company delivered 20,726 cars, which turned out to be: - 5 times more than Tesla Model 3 - 3 times more than Zeekr 001 - and more than the combined sales of BMW 3 and 5 Series. Xiaomi proudly claims that they have a very high rate of car orders immediately after test drives. Sales, which were expected to decline after the initial hype, are actually growing. In the automotive world, this happens for only two reasons: - The company starts offering discounts (not the case here, there are no discounts) - Positive word-of-mouth from satisfied owners. Soon, they will roll out a fast crossover (hybrid/electric).

200MPH: What does it take? So many cars cost upwards of $100k and do not reach this speed. The engines are bigger, the aero is more refined, the tire compounds are tuned for whatever environment you could think of. Could you build any car to go this fast? I find that not many are aiming for this, and I am thoroughly convinced that I can do this to an I4 basic bitch miata with a bigger engine, turbo, and aero. The final point might be gearing, but I'm convinced there's a way around that too. What does it take, and why don't more modders build cars to go this fast?

Did I fuck up or am I fretting over nothing? I picked up a 2001 ford escort from an elderly couple for 500$. The body is in perfect condition, besides common clear coat fading, only thing is the engine is dead, and possibly a damaged or loose engine mount, the car only broke down about two weeks ago, and the shop they took it too wanted too much to repair or replace the engine for what the car is worth to them, and I have connections with guys who do pick-n-pull runs all the time, so I figured I could get an new engine easy if this engine can't be rebuilt. I paid sight unsee, as everything was fairly straight forward. I haven't actually looked into what the actual problem is, as I figure if this engine is unsalvageable, I can just buy another engine. I haven't worked on an escort before, so any suggestions or guidance is welcome. I would like to know exactly what engines are compatible, google and wiki only says 2.0lt, but not which 2.0lt, is it zetec, duratec, or something else? Could I drop in a duratec 2.3? Or should I just get this thing running and flip it for a mk1 focus?

How do people even find car driving enjoyable? You're just a man in the box, isolated from the world but still forced to pay attention to it all the time. With motorcycles you at least get visceral fun being one with the machine, and if the weather is good that breeze feels damn good. It's clear that using a personal vehicle is often preferable to public transit, but what's fun in the act of driving per se? I simply don't get it.

Easiest Car to Work On: Let's say I'm a poor motherfucker. I don't want to have to go through the bullshit process of buying and selling old junkers left and right whenever there's a catastrophic issue that would cost too much to repair. I have access to a garage (Not my own, kek.), and I am willing to work on the car, going as far as to even rebuild the engine and reinforce the frame through welding. What car should I buy? Also, I'm serious about rebuilding the engine. I've had two cars fail on me due to compression issues, and this was clearly the only solution, but they were Volvos, so even if I had the tooling, that process would've taken an eternity, and there were so many damn steps you would've needed to take, you better not have made a mistake. They were both 5 cylinders, and I waited until 2 cylinders failed on each one before I gave up driving them. The vibrations were incredible. There are so many things you can simply replace on a car, but compression issues are the nail in the coffin. What kind of equipment would I need to rebuilding an engine, anyway? I pretty much just have a normal tool kit, along with a few niche tools. It's cheaper to buy new tools than to pay someone else to work on the car, though, so even if all the equipment needed would total to $3000, I could theoretically just keep working on the car until reaching a truly catastrophic failure.

Why do people like hatchbacks?: Whenever someone talks about one of them, they tack on "...Plus it's a hatch!" as if that's a good thing. Am I being gaslit? Is everyone pretending? Am I not in on the joke? How does anyone look at a hatchback and think it looks anything but ugly? How on earth is this bodystyle considered "sporty"? I know that taste is subjective, but I feel like you need to do some serious mental gymnastics to convince yourself that hatchbacks look cool in any way, shape, or form.

Am I getting ripped off?: We've got a 2015 Volkswagen Passat with 55K miles and we've been the only owners. Lights were occasionally popping up on the dash recently (ABS, slide-y car, and airbag) so we took it to the dealership for diagnosis. They sent back the attached. I'm mostly concerned about the Anti-Lock Brake Control module because that's basically the value of the car at this point. Is that a reasonable price? Some googling has indicated that it should be more like $2K. Similarly, is $2K for replacing the brake pads/rotors reasonable? I'm in Brooklyn for pricing consideration and don't have a garage where I can work on this. I'll be in Tennessee in a few weeks though and could do it there if it's safe to drive. I also saw that the issue might just be the wheel speed sensors which could be a much cheaper fix (and the dealership said there's no guarantee the Anti-Lock Brake Control module will fix the lights). Does that sound likely? Based on what I can google it doesn't sound like it's dangerous to drive in its current state since the brakes do still work. Is that right or is this a worse problem than I'm thinking?

>Jaguar unveiled a new look, logo and direction for its cars at what was quite possibly the most bizarre automotive media launch I’ve ever attended – here’s what happened. >Held at its Gaydon HQ, on Armistice Day, the event was hosted by Jaguar’s senior team including managing director Rawdon Glover and JLR’s chief creative officer Gerry McGovern. >Embargoed until today, the event felt like a hallucinogenic sci-fi movie where the presenters were only allowed to speak in marketing babble. >Unveiling a new concept car – the details of which are still under embargo until December 3 – Jaguar’s passionate team spoke for most of the day about how they plan to ‘delete ordinary’ and ‘live vivid’. Whatever that means… >In what, at times, felt like a drunken dream, Jaguar personnel walked journalists through its plans to ‘reimagine’ the much-loved brand over the next few years. >Calling it a ‘complete reset’, McGovern at one point told journalists that his team had ‘not been sniffing the white stuff – this is real’. >‘A good ice hockey player does not skate to where the puck is now, they skate to where it is going,’ chief commercial officer Lennard Hoornik said. >McGovern believes that up until now Jaguar has ‘not been allowed to be unique’ and that the Jaguar of the future will ‘stir the emotions once again’ and ‘make you feel uncomfortable’. >He was right about the last bit. After an hour’s briefing in a windowless room, the agog journalists were shifting in their seats. https://cardealermagazine.co.uk/publish/hallucinogenic-sci-fi-movie-inside-the-rather-bizarre-relaunch-of-jaguar/310077
