/jp/ - Otaku Culture

What kind of car would each Touhou drive, if cars existed in Gensokyo?

>>10465807
From the OP pic I can see they'd drive one with Recaro's and of course they would enjoy rowing through the gears unlike 'murkans.

my fellow car otaku hello

Meanwhile...

I cant drive manual

teach me /jp/

>>10465825

I myself plan to learn how as soon as I can ditch my automatic and pick up a manual one. Hopefully I can do that without compromising school and work sometime next year.

>>10465825
Don't bother. It's only a matter of time before we have automated cars.

>>10465825
Its easy, the only hard part is getting the car moving slowly from neutral, like pulling out of a parking spot. Once you get used to that, the rest is really easy. Learn the clutch biting point and you're done.
I learned on my dad's lawn, I just went back and forward in a straight line, reverse and forward slowly. When I got that down we drove around town with no problems.

I can't drive /jp/, I'm too scared. ;_; I'm fine with taking the metro everywhere, but everytime I'm questioned about it I feel so embarrassed.

Help /jp/

>>10465843
I can't drive either faggot, get over it.

>>10465825
It's kinda like what you do with your boyfriend at night.

>>10465843
I can't do either.

>>10465836
USA is probably the only country leaning towards automatic. Manual transmission cars are much more fun to drive, they are more economic (if you know what you're doing) and the transmission lasts longer (also, if you know what you're doing).

This is widely known in most countries and that's why automatic transmission isn't still used in all cars.

>>10465825
I don't think I could drive automatic. Having no control over you car's gears seems scary.

>>10465850
Fucking amerifats

>>10465850
I would think anything that diverts your attention from the road is a bad thing. Why bother changing gears when you could be checking for traffic? The computer changes gears around the right time anyway.

>>10465852
It's not scary, but it's fucking annoying. I'm used to manual so the car deciding the gear for you annoys the hell out of me. It's like you don't have control of your car.

Automatic is the way to go

>>10465862
Because after practice changing gears becomes second nature, it doesn't divert your attention at all. Does having to pedal in a bicycle divert your attention from the road?

>>10465865
>It's like you don't have control of your car.
Not entirely, but I use the lower gears and overdrive a lot to compensate.

>>10465868
Yes, I usually tense up and fall to the ground around that time. Probably not the best metaphor to use with someone who can't ride a bike.

>>10465836
Automated != Automatic transmission. I means cars that drive themselves will replace cars driven by people.

>>10465877
That sucks, you should learn, riding a bike is fun as fuck. But well, the point is that you do it unconsciously, the same way you put a foot in front of the other to walk.

>>10465882
Who put you in charge of reading comprehension?

>>10465870
what does that mean?

autobaby here. press accelerate to go fast.

>>10465882
Oh, my bad. Well, many trains in Japan are automated aren't they?

Still, I think automated cars are dangerous. And even if they were, I'm pretty sure many people would still drive. For many people, driving is fun and relaxing.

>>10465882
Get a load of this retard.

>>10465889
I meant to quote

>>10465850

>>10465891
>And even if they were automatic*

>>10465889
>>10465895
Since >>10465825 was talking about manual transmission I didn't pay attention to >>10465836 and thought he was talking about automatic. Kill me now, faggot.

>>10465895
oh

>>10465891
Some people enjoy driving, but it's also viewed as a annoying chore by others. I'm sure people who have to commute would rather just sleep and let the car drive them to work.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR2uXlR88

>>10465901
It's both for me. It becomes a chore with a lot of traffic and going slowly. And I think it would be a lot better if I had a nicer car

>>10465904
That's funny but the music sucks.

>>10465904
Is that a trap?

>>10465908
How would having a better car help when you are stuck in gridlock?

I've been driving stick(S10 '85 and BMW E46) all my life till 2 weeks ago when I got an automatic 2009 Grand Cherokee.

I can't see this fascination and "fun" people talk about when driving standard trans compared to automatic.

>>10465893

Overdrive will change gears at higher RPM, most cars will also change to lower gears when needed, HELL even my dad's old Explorer 95 does this when you depress the gas pedal all the way down it changes to a lower gear so you can pass someone.

>>10465825
I'm learning recently, its a lot of fun. I like it a lot more than automatic, even if I stall out a lot at the moment. Hills are really tough. The important thing to do is not panic, and listen to your engine, she'll usually tell you when you need to shift up or down!

>>10465843
I too cannot drive

>>10465917
>>10465843
that's what they made automatic transmission for

If you still cant do that then you are dumber than americcans. You don't want that, do you?

Does /jp/ know how to offroad?

>>10465913
>I can't see this fascination and "fun" people talk about when driving standard trans compared to automatic.
I guess it's a taste thing.

Bus driver here
You're small time

>>10465922
There is more to driving than just changing gears. Even with automatic, you are still doing three things at the same time, maintaining proper speed, maintaining proper lane position, and minimizing your blind spots by looking out different windows. I do n't see how anyone can enjoy driving when there is so much work involved.

>I do n't see how anyone can enjoy driving when there is so much work involved.
Because it's fun (when you're not in a traffic jam). Why do some people find programming fun? Or composing music? There's so much work involved!

never again

NEVER AGAIN

>>10465922
>>10465930
Its not even the work, its terrifying to drive

You could die any time or kill people or all kinds of other terrible stuff

>>10465915
>How would having a better car help when you are stuck in gridlock?
I meant it would make driving overall better, it wouldn't change much in that case

>>10465930
>minimizing your blind spots by looking out different windows
I don't like this part because sometimes it forces me to make eye contact with mean people on the road ;___;

>>10465930
theres two pedals one go fast. one is stop

Im a fuging retart and I drove auto when I was 15.

>>10465934
>Why do some people find programming fun?
It's not the same thing, when I cause an error in programming, the computer break my bones and cave my skull in. That makes it stressful just in itself.

>>10465947
I learned manual +4x4 transfer case when I was 11. Come at me

>>10465948
I mean doesn't do that.

I have a car and motorcycle license. I went through all those tests. But after I completed all those stressing stuff I only touched my parent's car 1 or 2 times. It's way too stressing, I get way too nervous. Sure, I admit it feels nice to change gears, have control of it, but what if I hit something or an accident happens? I can't even go to a store without feeling a little nervous. I would just want to cry and wouldn't know what to do in a bad situation.
So after never practicing I probably couldn't drive now.

>>10465947
How many cars have you crashed?

>>10465948
>>10465952
Oh, the danger. Yeah you're right, but crashing isn't as easy as you think. I mean, most people who crash are really stupid, or drive stupidly, angry, or drunk, or just can't drive at all but think they can.

>>10465954
I was the same way, but I've found that if I talk to myself about what I need to do, and talk myself through it, it gets a lot less nervewrecking.

I ordered a 2013 WRX STi 3 months ago and I'm picking it up on Tuesday. I haven't driven manual in 6 years and I never really learned how to do it that well.

Am I going to be in for a world of pain?

Driving seams like such a pain in the ass. And if you're living in a big city having a car is just like having a retarded kid.. Having to pay for every fucking thing.. Public transportation is much faster, and I can read while I travel.
Top that car owners.

>>10465954
It depends on where you live. If you live in a huge city yeah it's pretty stressful, actually many experienced drivers refuse to drive in cities full of traffic. But I live near the countryside so it's pretty relaxing around here, maybe you should travel with your family and practice somewhere else. Well, not that somewhere from /jp/ would like to do that.

>>10465971
>somewhere from /jp/ would like to do that.
I mean someone, hell I'm retarded tonight.

>>10465970
Carpooling is also good if you don't have public transportation. You have to pay for the other guy's gas, though.

>>10465965
I feel sorry for your insurance rates.

>>10465979
Yeah.. Nah
You have to talk to people, and that is a nonono

>>10465982
It's only ~30 bucks more a month than my current car. It's not too bad really.

Where the fuck is the janitor?

Why isn't this deleted yet?

>>10465987
I'm both horrible at communication and driving, but failure at communication doesn't result in being hospitalized.

>>10465995
why aren't YOU deleted yet lmao

>>10465990
You do know that's 3600$ more a year right?

>>10465996
II don't really see why would you want to get in a strangers car only when the guy is available rather than a fucking bus or train without any need for talk and any time you want.

>>10466007
Please stop owning me.

>>10466018
Shut your faggot mouth kid, get out of here.

drives that are <1 hour: i'm cool with

>>10466014
What bus? I don't live in the city.

>>10466034
I was talking about big cities retard.

>>10466008
you added an extra zero.

>>10466042
Well, if I wanted to go to a big city, I could easily find a bus route there. Anywhere else, I might as well walk if carpooling is out.

>>10466020

>>10466059
trolledhard.jpg.gif.youareafag

>>10466055
Yeah, sure.

>>10466070
Just be glad that you have public transportation that actually receives funding.

>>10466008
360 bucks more year.

Not much of an increase for a brand new car versus a 4 year old one.

>>10466089
Don't you also have to pay property tax on the car itself? It all adds up.

>>10465965
lol STI

How is this оtaku culture?

>>10466127
It pisses you off, that's how.

Get wrekt some more, kid.

>>10466127
lol dude, do you not see reimu right there?

>>10466100
No, I just pay sales tax on the value of the car minus my trade-in. Other than that, basic maintenance, and a small increase in insurance rates it's not going to be much more expensive.

At least I should get better fuel economy with it too.

>>10466127
Should we post itasha?

Only poorfags drive manual now. Modern DSG is superior in every way.

I play a lot of Gran Turismo 5

>>10466160
I only played 2.

Ran - Honda Odyssey or a Volvo wagon of some sort. Something with lots of room for her tails and trips to the market, and high safety ratings because she wants Chen to be safe.

Chen - She would have a nice beginners car like a little red Civic or Corolla. Maybe a Celica if it were something sportier.

Yukari - Something powerful and classy. 2003 M5.

Mokou - 1978 Firebird (Doesn't need explanation)

Yuugi & Suika - Probably a tricked out bronco, or even coolor, an AMC Eagle. Something that can stomp the shit out of mountains. Not a hummer though, cause hummers are gay.

Momiji - Subaru WRX. Fast, off road, perfect for blazing through forest trails. Aya might as well drive the same thing.

Cirno - Older Miata with the flip up headlights. Actually, every 2hu should drive this car.

>>10466261
My mom couldn't drive so I had to drive. And I enjoy going out on the desolate country roads alone listening to eurobeat.

Public transportation is for normalfags because it requires you to be social by sitting in a box with other people.

>>10466959
It's fun compared to the SUV. Both are still boring compared to a motorcycle.

Yukari shouldn't be allowed to drive

>>10466261
Driving and being NEET are not mutually exclusive.

Driving and being hikki, that's a bit of a strange one. Towards the end of my hikki phase, I went out driving a few times, because my mother is partially disabled, so I had to take her out to get food and stuff. It was awful; I wanted to get back inside my car and drive home the entire team.

>>10466375
Hell, once you're in gear, you could easily get into the backseat and do that. Even in a manual.

>>10467022
"Shutting Out the Sun" (book about hikkis) talks about hikkis who go outside. One of them went out in the middle of the night and rode really hard on his bike while listening to music.

>>10467022
Cars are so expensive, it's hard to imagine having one without a job. I don't even see how people can buy them with a job.

>>10467035
I'm not that guy but I made a deal with my grandma to pay my insurance and I perform all of my own maintenance. Fuel is still expensive but a NEET doesn't have a whole lot of places to go so it isn't as bad as you think (I converted my car to e85 which is cheaper anyway). I get spare cash by buying and reselling car parts, people on craigslist will often sell you one big item and will throw in a bunch of other stuff for cheap or free. This stuff often adds up quick ($20 here, $50 there, etc).

>>10465792
she's pretty

>>10465792
She's not actually driving that car, in a normal seating position she couldn't even see above the dash. Another example of dumb cosplayers.

Which touhou would rolling start?

>>10467082
You should see some boy racers in the UK (imagine someone ricing a car that's 15-20 years old). They often sit in positions where you can barely see above the dash. How they drive is also a mystery.
