[things-about-cars-in-posts]

Hey i was reading the bisexual cars post [ed: as one does] and i have a question What the fuck is up with the shift in the V6 clio?

I mean, the whole front console looks just like my clio's (except the wheel bc mine is newer and pointy instead of round) until the air controls in the center. And then BOOM, ugliest shift i've ever seen in a sportscar

Here's a closeup for the benefit of the viewing audience:

So, we have the shift knob itself on the top, and below it what I assume is the reverse lockout collar (for the unaware, while in some cars you need to push the shifter down to engage reverse, others lock you out of it with a little collar under the shift knob you are to pull up). Under those there is an alcantara shift boot - or should I say Alcantara, since it's the brand name of the material sold by Alcantara S.p.A., Italian company producing it since the 70s. That's right, they pulled a Velcro™ on ya. Under all that, the console itself, whose poor shot at a nicer finish makes it clash with the rest of the interior and whose need to place the shifter high enough to be reachable results in it looking like it was placed on an upside down bowl. So much so that I assumed the console was actually what OP found so unsightly. But a check with him contradicted me - he really was referring to shifter and boot.

I think I can see why. Now, an Alcantara®™ shift boot and a polished spherical shift knob is not an uncommon arrangement for sporty cars.

But as you can see, usually shift boots have much more of a pyramidal shape to them with any sagging or bunching being at the bottom - seen especially clearly in the mr__grip shift boot I got my very own Golf (and yes, I got the shift knob to match the boot to boot :D)

As you can see, shift boots usually taper no a very narrow top, sometimes not even getting to the shift knob and leaving part of the shift rod exposed, as seen to a bit of an exaggerated extent in my application.

[Wanna know how bad my shifter needs an overhaul? That's not neutral, that's first.]

Whereas in the Clio V6, when the boot gets to the collar, there's still so much boot left that it just bunches up around it, which combines with the collar and the knob's unflattering lower crease to create the impression that someone put a warm sweater on an old lamp post.

But hey, it could always be worse. Check out the Mercedes Sprinter.

Oh, right. This isn't the Tumblr of old.

There.

The Purchase Of A Van To Make An Rv Conversion (A Beginner's Guide)

Find out more about the best car to reside in. If you've got some idea of the van you want to buy, it is time to begin looking! The first step is to start with some general tips, then move on to the process of evaluating the campervan you want to live in.

General Tips When Making the Decision to Buy A Van

Mindset!

The way you think about buying a van is just as crucial as the other aspects of the plan. Each step is important to take a step back and take a look at your overall goals and the big overall picture.

Avoid becoming attached to any particular vehicle. Humans, when we focus all of our attention on a single thing, it can control our thoughts and alter our reality. You may allow "the person" go in the event that you do not act fast enough. However, if you begin your search too quickly you're less likely that you will find the right person.

Be aware that private sellers may not be honest when you are considering used cars.

I'm of the opinion that the majority of people are nice people, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't protect yourself from people trying to sneak up over you.

The biggest thing is to not get frustrated when someone doesn't to a question or meet up with you. If you're getting over 25% of the time this is better than I usually get in the market for used items!

Mileage How many miles are too many?

This issue is too much focus in my opinion! While it is important to have a good mileage, the condition is just as important. A well maintained vehicle at 200K miles will treat you better than 100K miles of driving hard and uncared for. If your car isn't prone to breaking down at a higher mileage then you must follow the regular inspection procedure.

Nevertheless, any vehicle with an annual mileage of 200K or more is an option worth looking at. While older vehicles might require more care, it's uncommon to have fuel pumps, wheel bearings, and other minor repairs. These aren't unforeseen costs and can keep you on the road for a long duration if you budget your money well.

If you're mechanically inclined you can push that number and If you don't want to handle maintenance go for a certified-used option from a dealership.

Budget

When purchasing a used car we aren't usually a fan of the idea of financing. If you don't have a unique situation in which you are able to make a significant amount of money driving but have to move in a hurry, it makes sense to invest your money with an emergency fund prior to making the decision to commit to a lifestyle.

If you're thinking about financing, you're likely setting the bar too high. Leasing is worse as you should not make any major modifications to a vehicle that you don't already own.

Consider an emergency fund when you're looking at vans. Although there are many opinions on the subject it's important to keep an emergency fund available in the event that something unexpected happens while traveling.

Age of the vehicle

There are several aspects to consider when deciding on the age of the van you want to purchase. Modern vehicles are generally safer all around. More crumple zones, better air bags, and safer breaking systems.

Any vehicle in the US manufactured between 1996 and up will have OBD II, which makes diagnosing easier.

Old vehicles are easier to repair, but they also break more often and generally have longer maintenance intervals. It is possible to get a manual if you are adept at ensuring you are maintaining a high quality of preventative maintenance.

In certain cases older vans can have their own issues.

Rust

This headache is so severe that it deserves its own category. When dealing with body rust, it can cause headaches. The process of removing corrosion is never easy and requires more time than you think.

It's also harder to maintain when you have rust. The hope that you won't break a bolt when changing your shocks can be an additional level of hassle that you're not likely to think about when buying a rusty van. Be cautious when buying rusty vans as it is an issue you are unable to reverse the clock.

Specific issues for vehicles

If you are deciding on an automobile or one that has caught your eye, you ought to conduct some research on the internet to identify specific issues related to that vehicle's model and year. You'll be amazed by how difficult these problems are to solve if you take a look at the comments posted on forums.

For example, the motors in 1996 Ford are amazing, but in 1997 they switched to the Triton motor, which could blast spark plugs.

Re-sale value

Should you think about re-sales cost to finance your construction? We believe that any additional money you intend to make on top of the conversion should not be considered into consideration as part of the construction project.

For those who only want to reside in a van for an entire year or so, we like to consider the van as an affordable extended vacation expense. If you want to stay permanently in a van, it shouldn't be the top item on your priority list.

Vehicle Inspection

It's understandable that this can be intimidating, especially if it's your first time buying from a private vendor. Be aware that at any point of the process, if feel uncomfortable, it's completely acceptable to get out of the way and start again in a new vehicle.

We have now started phase two of our travels in Brissie (our van). We spent our first two nights at this peaceful spot at Western Super Mare. The trees created wonderful silhouettes against the evening sky. On the second night we had a fox outside our door.

Hopefully we can get the van fixed and we can hit the road.
