Dumb questions someone else might answer

Why 4th car this year?

The issue I see with both of those cars (especially the Saab), is that they have quite high mileage.

If you want a car, any car with mileage lower than 150.000 km in Finland you’ll have to dish out at least 8000€ probably, and that’s the reason for your question actually, continuous downgrading cause gotta use money for something else than cars for once (kill meeeeeeeeee I went from a 2010 V40 to this)

Wut?! See cars sold in Poland for high mileage… Then you’ll know what “high mileage” means :smiley: 180k is the value with which the dealers advertise their cars with falsed odometers… in reality having anything between 250-500k.

Dumb question over here… is the downforce sliders in the U4 build enabled? or am I just doing something wrong?

Should only work with the downforce undertray. Semi and fully clad should never have had a downforce option, so that’s been fixed.

What are those ugly rubber numberpad thingamajiggies some american cars have above the doorhandle?

This has been bugging me for years

combination lock i believe.

Those are a primitive keyless entry pad used by Fords (although many new ones still have them, but in touch screen format).
Each individual car has a specific code to unlock the doors, but the lock code is always 5-6 and 9-0.
I know that as my Tauruses both had it.

That’s… interesting

Remote locking by just the press of a button on the key seems a lot faster and easier

I thought it was just a gimmick. Also a backup in case you lock your keys in your car.

Beats screwdrivers and a coat hanger. Or a crowbar if you’re taking an extreme measure.

Why did a lot of cars intended for the US market in the mid to late 90’s and early 00’s have that weird gold-ish plastic cladding

  1. You forget the Ford Explorer of the time.
  1. Because 90s.

Hey, that’s my Subaru! :stuck_out_tongue:

Just a trend of the time, I guess. Dark green or burgundy with beige/gold cladding was just a thing.

Indeed!™ My Turbo Coupe, SHO, and both Lincolns had them. The combination is “hidden” someplace special in case you forget it.

The 90s were so golden that they had to coat everything else on gold cladding to reflect it, I guess. At least if “90s kids” are to be believed.

I believe the 90s was the “me” generation. People didn’t give a damn about anything, but since it was the 90s, nobody noticed.

Does anyone else prefer older car lights that didn’t have fancy styling?

I do prefer the older styling, especially when they’re not stuffed full of LEDs that will blind you every time the person in front hits the brakes.

Same. If you wanna run LEDs, fine, but you only need one in place of each bulb. And taillights should not be that bright. It’s a safety hazard, if anything. Especially at night, where it blinds you.
