Automotive enthusiasts?

I’ve decided that I’m gonna put a pair of Leslie Tyfon A200 locomotive horns on all three of my trucks since they’re loud as hell, sound like bot horns, and they don’t take up as much space as a K5LA would.

I have a 1960s Jubilee Diesel 68 Train Horn, but I haven’t put it on anything yet. I was hoping to get another one, but nobody’s put one on eBay for over a year. I may look into this other one, thanks.
 
Also, I’m replacing fuel lines on my Diesel Suburban tomorrow. That should work well.

My mom’s horn fuse keeps blowing. Guess it needs a new horn too. Something about a wiring short maybe

Ouch. Bad place to get burned!

@BarryFromMars  
When I bought my tyfons, I was surprised to find out that one pair came off an old Union Pacific turbine engine in the 60s. I’ve pretty much got a piece of history in my possession right now.

Looks like New Orleans.

The Cadillac Lyriq electric SUV.
 

 

 

 
There is nothing about the Lyriq that impresses me or makes me want to drive it. The name is stupid, the grill is monsterous and unnecessary for an EV, the headlights are squinty, the tires are rubber bands on big silly rims, the D pillars have huge blind spots and awkward taillights, the interior has too much piano black plastic, and noise-canceling technology on top of already quiet electric power would make for an awkwardly silent ride.

@kleptomage  
It’s meh. I don’t like EVs in general tbh.

@MagpulPony  
I predict the Lyriq will be only slightly more successful than the ELR.

@kleptomage  
The design is half baked, according to an interview. Hopefully the rear taillight and pillar design will be changed. It looks funny the way it is
 
Also the 300 mile range will be pretty lackluster in 2 years when the car actually comes out. Other Ultium models will get more range I assume. We won’t know any more until next year. Won’t even be manufactured until 2022

@RainbowDash69  
Why get that when you can get the hybrid Ford F-150 with 700 mile range.

@RainbowDash69  
Cadillac should have waited until they had a better production model to show.
 
 
@MagpulPony  
Or wait a year or two for the hybrid Tundra.

@kleptomage  
Toyotas are fine, you know me though. Ford or nothing.

i wish today’s cars had less firm seats, like old ones.
 
old ones even used to have springs in the seats, while today we only got nearly solid rubber like foam and nothing else.

@Porschepegasus  
Well you could try a Rolls Royce.

@Porschepegasus  
Sit in a modern Volvo sometime. The seats are the best part of the car.

@MagpulPony  
replace try with afford.
 
doubt it

@kleptomage  
hmm
 
maybe in 20 years when prices drop

@kleptomage  
The seats in a new Volvo VNl are the best

@Porschepegasus  
I briefly owned a Rolls Royce. Never drove it. And I didn’t personally pay for it.

Leather seats feel better than cloth seats but that’s just my preference. I think leather stays cooler than cloth which is good

@ACApenetrator50  
No, cloth stays cooler than leather. Cloth doesn’t stick to your skin like leather either.

@kleptomage  
I have leather air conditioned seats which helps a ton.

@ACApenetrator50  
You ever park a car with black leather seats outside? It feels insane. It sizzles on your bum
 
my sis’s car has black cloth. and it doesn’t burn your bum on a hot day, just feels a little warm. A/C seats are much nicer though. I get sweaty back in my car.
 
 
@MagpulPony  
If you plan to tow, a hybrid would be the best choice. Electric Teslas perform great when towing, but you will spend more than half your time charging it

@kleptomage
 
Does the Cadillac “Lyriq” come in any finish except Silver? That’s hella boring. At least offer something like Red and/or Blue.
 
@Porschepegasus
 
Here’s part of why I’m still saving up for a 94 - 96 Roadmaster Wagon. They’re just so darn good.
