Why isn't the Suzuki Jimny available in the US?
The Jimny may arrive eventually, once the new fuel consumption regs take hold. It's made in many countries and it's fuel injected so it should pass the smog tests OK.
What happens if you overfill the coolant reservoir in your car?
The reservoir is usually marked with a minimum and maximum level. The maximum level is below the top of the tank. That allows for possible expansion of the coolant in the system.If you fill it beyond the maximum level, probably at some point the excess overflows out the overflow tube of the reservoir as the coolant from the radiator expands into the reservoir. The excess coolant is lost as it is dumped on the ground.When the cooling system contracts, the now full to the brim reservoir will retreat to the normally full indicated levels.There’s no long term damage to the car.
What would be a good first car?
If it’s for a guy then a Nissan 300zx z32 NA. Why? It’s fun, it’s mildly fast, ton’s of aftermarket support, timeless design, decently hard to fix so they don’t get overwhelmed if they get a complicated car after, it’s built like a tank, rwd because you know they’re going to go to a empty parking lot with friends on a Friday night and have fun. Gives them the fun of a convertible and a hardtop. Buy a facebook one for like $3000 and put liability on it so if they crash they either fix it themselves or oh well. (Currently owning)If you want a truck then just do any old ram(Currently owning 2003), but if they want something weird then a 1984 Honda acty. It’s a mini truck from japan so automatically it’s something that everyone would talk about, it’s super small so it fits anywhere, 4wd for taking it off road, can hold a few hundred pounds of weight so it can take a bit, when the engine dies just throw in a motorcycle engine, it’s super slow until a turbo hayabusa engine is in it, AM only radio which can be changed for like $100. At their high school it’s the talk of the town with just how strange it is, if they’re a band kid they can fit anything in it, use it for water jugs for football, carry kids across campus, go on curbs if needed, park it on the grass.(Job’s fleet car, we have 5 right now)If it’s for a girl then plain and simple na or nb miata. It’s cute, its slow, its cheap, they’re everywhere, easy to fix, only one friend, convertible, small to fit in the mall parking lot. Another option is a 04–06 chrysler sebring. It’s still decently reliable, big(like land yacht size), 4 seats, big trunk, stylish, cheap. (owned(Holds 2 marching podiums, three marching tubas, 4 trombones, 9 trumpets, and 4 people just with the top down))EXTRAS: Jeep cherokee, Jeep Wrangler, Civic, 240sx, Police interceptor crown vic(the lamps, intercom, and a sheriff's hat is enough explanation), police charger( same reason), and any tacoma.
