I'm going to go on record right here and right now: if you design a vehicle with an automatic transmission the shifter belongs on the steering column, NOT the console.
There's absolutely no reason to put an automatic shifter in the center console. It just takes up a whole bunch of space for a lever that the average driver touches at most 3 times during their drive.
"B-but what about manual shifting modes?" I hear you sniveling. "It lets me pretend I have a manual, and I can't do that if it's on the column!" Shifter paddles...

i agree with you op. plus a shifter on the column will prevent people from mistaking their D for R to prevent them from crashing into cars in parking lots and businesses.
>>15337687
Car comes with manual as standard. Why go to the effort of changing the interior for the auto?
Or just put it on the touchscreen.
I want a small older roadster /o/
What are my options here?
I'd like to shoot for pre 75.
Something like an MG or a Jensen but doesn't have to be British.
>>15346523
Corvair spyder convertable.
>>15346532
Can't those not turn or something?
>>15346655
They can turn very well.
Some permavirgin once said they were UNSAFE because they use the same suspension as modern cars.
Would you buy a Mercedes mid sized pickup?
It's apparently going to be released in North America after all and will carry an optional diesel 6 cylinder. The Sprinters and Metris I've driven have been 10/10 work vehicles.

>>15345675
it will be based in a nissan anyway
>>15345676
That's not a bad thing though. Nissan makes pretty awesome off roaders.

How much power or how fast does a car have to be too be considered a sports car or supercar?
>>15342741
It has to be
10 fast
50 fast
100 fast
fuck it man, lets just not even discuss it
It's a mix of performance, quality and image/prestige. Supercars need to have all three, that's why Americans at the very best only build sports cars, those only need performance and a slight bit of image.
>>15342741
Sports cars are not based on speed
It's more about handling
I suppose you could say a sports car is defined by the speed it can KEEP in a corner.
Have you ever gone to one? Will you ever go back?

I took my gf's car to a similar place because I don't own the car and don't want to be legally responsible for shoddy work, even though my work is top notch, and the oil needed changing for a few thousand miles. It went alright. Got ripped off on the air filter but whatever, shit needed replacing and I was lazy. Not sure what my other options were, since my gf doesn't have a garage in the city she lives in 200 miles away.
No, I either take my car to it's dealership when VERY lazy or do the work myself.
I've heard of too many horror stories about those types of places.
Someone please talk me out of buying a v6 mustang, I just went on a test drive like 30 minutes ago and I think it's what I want.
I think I'm going to commit today or tomorrow to buying one.
I've got a connection to a dealer and am going to get it at or near cost, though I'm not sure what a 2011-2014 v6 black on black or grabber blue anything interior will be.
Please send help.

I THINK I WILL DRAW ALL ARTISTIC INSPIRATION FOR ALL CAR DESIGN FROM THIS PICTURE
Would I what?
Please explain in detail.
Would you really pay $300,000 for a singer Porsche 911? It's a nice car but whats actually going into that car that's worth that money? So what if the interior is hand stitched?
>>15347300
Its a complete rebuild, lots of custom parts, lots of one off hand made parts completely to your liking.
300k aint bad, but that doesnt cover the cost of the shell you need to provide.
Technically Singer can do that work on any other car, they just specialize in the 911.
I want one. Car is amazing.
>>15347317
Its still really expensive for what it is, I guess it's a unique one off quality people go for
no
Singers are overpriced hipster garbage while being uglier than RUF or any other Porsche tuner
American here, why the fuck are manuals so unpopular in this country?
How did the autotragic meme start? Why did we fall for it so hard?
>>15341053
Automatics were invented by Oldsmobile in the late 30's/early 40's.
They were an option on a lot of 1950's cars, which is when automatics really took off. Automatics were marketed as a woman's car and men bought them claiming "My wife will love this" then used it as his daily driver.
It's pure laziness that led to the automatic becoming dominant. My grandfather always referred to automatics as the lazy man's car.
Because Americans are awful at driving manuals, you can see just how bad if you observe the average American motorcyclist.
My old mazda was a 5 speed. Masturbating while driving was a bitch.
My forester is an auto. Its far easier to wank and drive now. Im sold on auto for life.
Which gen 4runner is best?
>>15343320

ITT: shit drivers do that piss you off
>literally stopping before making a right turn when it's not necessary
Fucking happened to me in the rain and I almost fucking hit the niggers bumper. The cunt just stopped and took 15 seconds for his stupid ass to turn even though the intersection was fucking clear the whole time.
>>15324470
Youre legally obligated to stop when making a right unless theres a yield sign posted. You might as well complain about people using turn signals too fucking asshole.
>never using turn signals
>turning wide and ending up in the farthest lane
>swinging outward before turning
You're not a schoolbus, you're not a semitruck, you're a fucking dodge neon, corner normally.
>goes around someone at speed
>to have you suddenly speeding towards a stopped cars
Tap the brake nigguah.
>left lane hogs
