Anon goes on a drive | TheaterFire

You should already know how to work on cars because there are very very few shops left in the US that will still work on a 240 (all the classics shops focus on American makes). Also dont buy into the propaganda that they’re these uber reliable, never break down monsters. The engines absolutely are, but the rest of the car can be very finicky in spots. Ive already had to replace the original transmission at ~90,000 miles, but I think that was due to a cooling issue.

Overall, you’ll wanna watch out for the flame trap, the fuel tank (on mine its under significant pressure as a emissions thing, and the weld already failed in a section of it), the odometer gear in the gauge cluster (do NOT reset the trip odometer while you’re in gear)

Damn bro that is dogshit mpg

[-]

dumname2_1@reddit

A good chunk of vehicles on the road have a similar or lower mpg than this. This includes modern vehicles.

SmokeMyPoleReddit@reddit

What the fuck are you on about. The shitbox honda civic I had as a first car did 50

[-]

Pleasant_Ad8054@reddit

Yeah, but you see that is a civic, like a pleb car! True Murican patriots are buying the biggest badassest ford suv with a milage of 'we don't talk about it'.

[-]

inspectoroverthemine@reddit

Pretty sure the Yaris was a base model, I don't recall any options even being available. It was also an extreme outlier for cars, and only existed for that mpg. Completely stripped down for weight, and the smallest engine capable of (eventually) getting the car to highway speeds.

I don't know what year civic you had, but I don't remember any being listed as 50mpg, but I imagine you could get that when hypermilling.

inspectoroverthemine@reddit

I actually have 15. I just add up all the attention I get from waitresses and retail workers, and pretend its coming from one person.

[-]

rip-droptire@reddit

Right everyone knows the optimal number is 0. Right guys?

...guys?

[-]

pandaSmore@reddit

This could easily solved with multiple USB cables and a charger with more than 1 USB port.

Neither did he though lol

[-]

SPRTN-KIMANDER9@reddit

He’s driving

[-]

901_vols@reddit

Exactly?? If your phone needs to charge driving is literally the best time to do it lol

[-]

Laowaii87@reddit

If you are driving and checking the fucking battery level of your phone you shouldn’t be driving

[-]

BionicleBoy@reddit

Broke ass ain’t got CarPlay!

[-]

Rambozo77@reddit

Even better would be the four hours you’ve been riding shotgun presumably on your phone.

[-]

Prestigious-Fig1172@reddit

That's exactly something my sister would do.

[-]

wordjedi@reddit

☕

[-]

saketho@reddit

no, guys are equally annoying lol. my mate did this once, and he promised me i can later wirelessly charge my phone from his samsung

he gave me a solid 2% before his phone stopped charging mine.

[-]

TheMorbidHobo@reddit

Neither did he??

[-]

Krypt0night@reddit

You're driving, what do you need more than 26% for lmao

[-]

savefromnet@reddit

If anything driver should be charging first because t they don’t need their phone

[-]

Dangermad@reddit

Meanwhile the gps

[-]

Trigger_Fox@reddit

My gps always is on the bottom right corner of my vision idk why you would need a phone to use it

[-]

Dangermad@reddit

Because the gps is google maps on a phone, not everyone has a gps or something built in

[-]

Trigger_Fox@reddit

Dude you must have accidentally toggled off the hud try going to the options and see if you can toggle it back on there

[-]

Jellykitten77@reddit

Idk why these people are downvoting you, it's like they've never even heard of the minimap... Mass bug perhaps?

[-]

GuardBreaker@reddit

_bully-hunter_@reddit

my car (2020 fusion) does not have built in navigation, it can depend on the software package / trim level you have in whatever car you have. i use carplay

[-]

neontiger07@reddit

I always wondered who the shirts and posters that said stuff like ''I had to PAUSE my GAME to be here'' or ''Just FIVE more MINUTES'' with a game controller in the background were made for, but I guess now I know.

[-]

tigerofblindjustice@reddit

Holy shit dude

[-]

Trigger_Fox@reddit

This is unironically the most offensive thing anyones said to me this week dude good job

[-]

BlazingFire007@reddit

Idk they took it kinda far imo…

[-]

Dangermad@reddit

Even then I've seen cars where using the inbuilt gps is a paid extra

[-]

Tuarangi@reddit

Got 3 years map updates on mine with the RDS traffic, a 3 year package after was about $120. After that Maps was good enough to use on the phone with live traffic reports and not too much data use and battery, with a cradle and data package I almost never use the car sat nav

[-]

TheReverseShock@reddit

I used to have gps built in and I hated it. Ended up using Gmaps instead basically always.

[-]

IljazBro1@reddit

Maybe they selected hardcore mode at birth which disables minimap?

[-]

Dangermad@reddit

Lmao

[-]

dumname2_1@reddit

This joke went over way too many people's head.

[-]

Trigger_Fox@reddit

Yeah i just kinda gave up the bit at some point

[-]

justis_league_@reddit

bro got downvoted to hell bc these redditors can’t figure out a basic videogame reference, even tho they typically eat up references. hive mind

[-]

MadMike404@reddit

Le epic reddit moment when you don't use /s at the end of an obvious joke and all the redditors get confused and angry 😡😡😡

[-]

fedoraislife@reddit

Lol why did you get ratio'd for a legit good joke

[-]

Super-Fill7098@reddit

People are actually downvoting you for this lol. Fucking reddit

[-]

Crazy_Elevator_3558@reddit

[-]

Trigger_Fox@reddit

Yeah i only drive old cars

[-]

Dangermad@reddit

How old are we talking? You've got a heads up display?

[-]

Trigger_Fox@reddit

No screens or any bs, just good old buttons and switches. The radio doesn't work but its fine lol

[-]

Dangermad@reddit

I'm just confused now

[-]

Cowmanglr@reddit

He's trolling

[-]

Dangermad@reddit

Maybe I should've known from HUD but I could reasonably believe someone calling it that

[-]

Crazy_Elevator_3558@reddit

old car how gps no phone attached to the windshield or ac vent?

[-]

BlacSoul@reddit

“You didn’t either” is the most soul sucking and useless argument in this situation ever. If you didn’t need it until i asked, fuck you gimme, you can wait

[-]

Freihl@reddit

Anon is a black pot

[-]

CapitalImpossible640@reddit

black pot

Anon, it's 2026. It's the person-of-color pot calling the kettle African American.

[-]

spiritofporn@reddit

Just stop being poor and buy a car with a wireless charging pad.

[-]

omzigian@reddit

You were sitting in a car for 4 hours and didn’t charge your phone?

[-]

SapirWhorfHypothesis@reddit

Well it wasn’t at 26% the whole time, was it? He obviously ran it down while viewing the latest memes.

[-]

SIowGrowth@reddit

If he uses Android Auto or [Apple Equivalent] for the map and music, this runs the battery down a lot.

[-]

question_pond-fixtf2@reddit

Gf had it

[-]

ThisUsernameis21Char@reddit

Had what?

[-]

question_pond-fixtf2@reddit

The charger. He couldn’t charge his phone cause it was with his gf

[-]

harnasje@reddit

It, the scary clown

Why dont people charge their phone during the night, if they are going on a long trip the next day? Or if you have a phone that fast charge, plug it in when you get up.

[-]

SirBruceForsythCBE@reddit

I have seen people sitting on the floor in the bus station at 7am charging their phone on a power outlet meant for the cleaner. I've no idea why people who rinse their battery with constant phone use, blue tooth and internet always on and screen brightness at 100% don't recharge over night

[-]

CowboysfromLydia@reddit

Sometimes i fall asleep with the phone in my hand.

Sometimes i just doomscroll way too much and the battery is shot by noon.

Source: professional doomscroller. Help me.

[-]

DoesNotAbbreviate@reddit

Get a long AF cable and just have it plugged in while doomscrolling at night?

[-]

CowboysfromLydia@reddit

Yeah i guess i could, but it happens just a hair less than the treshold to take action so i just do nothing.

[-]

inspectoroverthemine@reddit

Sounds like my life.

[-]

Nertez@reddit

lol at iSheep having battery anxiety at 26 % battery. That's at least half a day on my Pixel 9a.

[-]

Psykopatate@reddit

I had the start of the drive discussion once:

Me: Put your phone on the charge

Passenger: I don't need it's at more than 80%

Me: AND WHAT HAPPENS IN 2 HOURS WHEN IT'S MY TURN TO CHILL AND I CANT CHARGE MY PHONE BECAUSE YOU DIDNT WANT TO CHARGE YOURS BEFORE IT'S DEAD

[-]

khjuu12@reddit

If anything, anon should've been charging his phone since he shouldn't have been using it while driving.

[-]

YoungDiscord@reddit

Drives for 3-4 hours

Doesn't keep his phone charged

omg what's this woman's problem

[-]

dailybantam@reddit

Always get a phone charger with two ports and two cables. You never know

[-]

bell37@reddit

Make sure it’s rated for to support fast charging for multiple devices. Had a shitty one with two ports that claimed to “fast charge” yet the power output would greatly fall if two devices were charging at the same time. Bc my phone wasn’t fast charging, it actually was using more energy than what was being charged and my battery dropped below 10%.

[-]

Tuarangi@reddit

I've got a 2.5A adaptor for the cigarette lighter port (car also has 2 5v usb A connectors but they're not that fast) and that charges sufficiently faster than Maps drains, it's slightly faster to charge if you use wireless in the cradle but means charging for 2-3 hours to get close to full
