Hi car experts I recently got into cars as well new to Reddit. So you see I added pictures with green arrows pointing at the interior of the trunk black spot of different cars and my question what is called?
I hope you guys are the experts while I am also trying to find a car picture dictionary with name of each part.
Hi yall I want to know what is the part I marked with orange on the black is called ? The reason every sedan to suv have this in the trunk space.
Hello, i’ve compiled a list of all the cars i’m interested in near me and some specs. In you guys’ opinion what’s the best car for value in terms of year, price, and mileage.
-The “+” by the name indicates a clean title whilst “-“/“I” indicate an accident or other reported incident.
-I’ve also listed “Horsepower” after test driving the S5 and loving it lol. Id love a quicker, still valuable car but what matters is longevity.
My winning cars are currently the Audi S5 and the 428i selection.
Hi everyone, came back from a work trip to find these markings and dent in my car. Not too sure what has occurred due to a lack of cameras in the area and I wanted to see if anyone had any clue.
Thanks in advance!
Hey so Im new in this place and this topic but I really need some help w this
Last night some jerk stole several parts of our Creta 2026, including the lights, the computer and batery. We managed to open the car and everything from inside is intact.
The problem is we need to move it a bit to get it in a tow truck but the handbrake is active and the direction is stuck, both of these require energy to deactivate but as you can see these idiots cut all the cables and I have no clue on what to do. I managed to put it on neutral but is hopeless if the car is stuck.
Is there any non electric tip you might have in order to remove the handbrake??
Im sorry if any wording is incorrect, not my main language and also dont know a lot about cars
My dumb car thought of the day: why is every driver floor basically a museum display for clean shoes? I’m not saying we need a construction-site apocalypse in there, but it feels like someone never considered gravel, wet boots, or sticky mud making a permanent home under your pedals. I peeked at some mats meant for rough use—like the kind a guy hauling concrete or lumber would toss in—and honestly it’s wild how badly normal mats fail. One splash of water or a pile of dirt and they curl, slip, and somehow trap grime in places that feel… dangerous. Heated seats exist, cup holders are fancy, but a practical, heavy-duty footwell? Nope. Or am I the one overthinking this again lol. Anyone else notice how basic floor mats for messy work are basically nonexistent in new cars?
Just purchased a 97 civic hatchback. No check engine light and readiness monitors complete. Any insight greatly appreciated. Please see smog test results.
Hi there. I have a Nissan Sentra 2015 SV vehicle, Transmission problems are a common issue with this car. When I bought it it was at 61k miles and two and a half years later I just hit 90k. I keep up on my general macitence (oil changes, tire rotations, etc) but I’ve been reading online that I should’ve done a transmission fluid change around 60k miles. Where are reliable places to get my transmission fluid flushed and changed that aren’t going to scam me lol. How much should I expect to pay for something like this? I’ve heard dealerships are gonna be the most expensive so I was seeking out advice as I know nothing about this stuff, Thank you!
New to me Toyota carolla. Was excited for the hidden hitch that was already installed but after lots of research, asking multiple different stores and mechanics IDK what this is. I've never seen a rectangular hitch. How do I use this? What is it?
I know this sounds idiotic, but bear with me – why don’t car floor mats have a little “you’re screwed” indicator next to the clips? Like a little red tab blinking “HEY, MOVE ME BEFORE YOU STEP ON THE BRAKE” Everyone is talking about the best floor mats these days, deep channels, rubber vs carpet, laser fit, fancy edges, whatever. No one ever talks about the mats that slowly slide under your feet like they have a vendetta. I swear I nearly flew into the dash one time in the rain when my heel caught the edge. Maybe I installed it wrong lol but seriously, isn’t this the sort of simple safety feature that can save people from themselves? I feel like all the car pros are about to tell me I’m the idiot here…
My little green bean is a 2012 Mazda 2. This will be the 3rd back window replacement in the last year. The first time (June 2025) I’m pretty sure it was a street sweeper that kicked rocks at it. Luckily the window was tinted so it all held in place fairly well. Second time (February 2026) it was really windy, so I think something blew into it. This last time (2 days ago) it was parked in the garage and exploded on its own. It looks like it came outward, glass was all over the garage… Does anyone have any insight on why this would happen?? Pictures attached are in the most recent order
So I woke up started the car like normal and drove about an hour today going to work. When I got to the office with plenty of time to spare, I decided to rest a bit. It was particularly hot today so I decided to start the engine and turn on the A/C. The starter just produced a whirring sound and there was no engagement from the engine. Is the reason why the starter just produced a whirring sound because the starter and engine are still hot?
Rented a dodge durango for a month to help with a move. Listed payload is 1450lbs
Need to pick up some tile and drive 50ish highway miles. Tile will be stored in car overnight.
My weight + the tile is 1500lbs. Not sure if u add fuel to that
My guess is that its fine and they have a conservative buffer to the numbers. I could split the trip up but would be a pain.
What would u guys do.
Hi guys! I built Mythic Autos which is a website that allows you to create a web page for your car with any build specs, details, etc and link your page to a custom QR code that you can design within the app and order. I'd love to get some feedback on the site / idea!
so, i entered my drive way (my car is lowered and scrapes a bit) and afterwards my rear right wheel has had a grinding/scraping sound ever since (ive entered and left plenty if times before) i took it apart thinking it was a stuck/seized caliper but the scraping sound persists even after i take my caliper off so i got a new rotor but that didn’t fix it either, im just perplexed at this point. i dont know if the shield on the wheel hub is scraping the rotor (the silver glitter video) or if the caliper is actually stuck cause i tested it and it still retracts but i went out to my car this morning after driving it like that for a couple days and that wheels is coated in brake dust which is a tell tale sign of a stuck caliper, any ideas?
Boyfriend’s car smells horrible when you first get in, like rotting food. At first, we thought it was leftovers from a breakfast sandwich he forgot about in the door of the car, but we threw that out and there’s still a smell.
It really only smells when getting into the car, so it slowly dissipates with the AC on or windows open. By the time we reach our destination, it is mostly gone (though it’s been getting stronger). He has done a brief check under the hood.
Where should we be looking for a dead body that isn’t in the trunk or under seats? His car has no clutter, that old breakfast sandwich was the only piece of trash in it and that was thrown out a week ago.
Ok so asked another sub and got roasted for my phone font instead lol so I'll chance it here...I want to mod and learn about cars and I wanted this particular car to make a project out of( 98 integra) ..guy is selling for 3000.
