Fuck cars, they're all shit. Boats are shit too.

I have 22 more hours to do before I'm eligible to apply for a license, I'm learning in a two-seater Ikarus C42.

I wanted to post photos but you can't post photos on this forum anymore -- Can that be fixed please?

i know we have went at it here but I have a serious question. Im not meaning this nasty or trying to be a dick.

How in the holly hell can your country let you fly an airplane? they have to do a background/medical check correct?
you have stated in one of ur 87 accounts you have been institutionalized more then once and take some heavy meds?

do they not check over there?

[< <Samson> >]

They only judge you by the last 5 years of your life, even if you join a gun club over here. There's a guy in my gun club with convictions from 8 years ago but they're not taken into account.

Same goes for flying a plane or fostering a child.

Of course there are exceptions to this, like for instance if you were convicted of murdering three children 27 years ago. For the most part though, if you can show a squeaky clean record for the last 5 years, they make the determination that you're now on the straight and narrow.

I've had 4 lessons in a two-seater Ikarus C42. At first I was getting a bit of motion sickness, but then I got used to the rolling motion of the plane. But on my last lesson this week, we were adjusting the flaps into 1st position and 2nd position for landing, and I only lasted 35mins before I was sick and had to come back down. (I'm still not used to sudden changes in pitch).

A plane can yaw from left to right, by adjusting the rudder, but I see no need for it because you can just roll the plane instead -- and anyway, every yaw movement results in an adverse roll movement, so you need to roll as you yaw anyway -- so you may as well just forget about yawing and just roll instead.

If I do one lesson a week, I'll have my license in October or November.

I'm just guessing here, but if the forum software runs on a Linux computer, tell the admin to check if the permissions for the home folder have been changed recently, as processes like SSH will refuse to read certificates from "~/.ssh" if the home folder is fully accessible by every user.

Wait what's better torque or HP
Lexus and Toyota love to fawk with us when they make cars. Especially when it comes to HP and turbos.

Not sure if less torque is needed with AWD or not but they make it look like AWD needs less torque to be a sport sedan.
Here is the Lexus is 250 specs.

The 2024 Lexus IS 250 has different engine specs depending on whether it has rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD):

RWD

Has a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 241 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission

AWD

Has a 3.5-liter non-turbocharged V6 engine with 260 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission

Torque!!!

Torque!!!

So the i4 turbo would be better for stand still take off or all around?

I’m just a torque fiend and wanted a car that the torque kicked in immediately. Plus I’m old school & like the naturally aspirated engines. I think the AWD might give you you a quicker jump off of the line.

Any accept tesla torque
At the moment I have a Camry xse i4 and it was slow as shit so I tuned it and added some flow master rx.
Some times when I am driving and a charger hears my car they get all crazy when I make it pop and start street racing around the freeway. Shit makes me laugh I'm not trying to race this thing I made the exhaust look stock and kept the outside stock.
I have had plenty of cars with V8 and turbos but for some reason this one is fun to drive.

I did notice this i4 takes off like my old 2001 Thunderbird V8 . So I investigated and the old V8 I had was only 190 HP.
This damn Camry is like 240 ho now . It's not fast at all but it does not sound like a i4 at all.

When daughter starts to drive I am trading it in for a coup , but I need to find one that my big 6'4" frame feels cozy in.

I added the black tips to try and keep it not like a rice rocket.

The reason I even asked is because I raced a is250 and we were side by side the whole run and he said he had a V6???

I’ve had my c-63 since 2014 with that big-ass V-8 (one of the last years , now they’re supercharged v-6’s). I think the torque is 460 and it kicks in immediately. Take off the traction control & put it in sport mode & the car will try to kill you because it’s pretty small & light. But, man, Teslas and many electric cars will easily smoke me. My all time second favorite car has been our mini Cooper S. My wife is on her third one; those little things are like go-carts and they feel as quick as my beast, just because it’s so tiny; even though the 0-60 is almost 2 seconds slower.
