I bought my first vehicle a few months ago. How do you think I did? Here are the details. 1994 Dodge Dakota, ext cab, 4x4, 5 speed manual, 5.2 liter V8, with 202 thousand miles. It's rusty but not to bad. The only real problem is the A/C doesn't work.

I demanded that the be removed from my last two vehicles. Got all the way to the sales agent, and told him flat out "the ugly ass advertisement badges come off or I walk, I am inflexible on this." They came off.
Got out of paying paperwork fees on one the same way. They had the little sign that said the fee had to be something we both agreed on, told the guy that the only value I agreed to pay was $0. He said he didn't need my business, then. I didn't make...

if it was a granny who got it serviced autistically, it might be a really fine car.

Hey guys, I'm 22 years old and I live in Texas, so I've recently acquired some money, about 20k, I want to buy a muscle car that's diesel and then do an engine swap to a 2JZ make it AWD and Automatic
Any tips?
Where should I start?
Fiero
This is a pretty bad troll attempt but ill play along.
Some Oldsmobiles from the 80s came with Diesels. Hard to find though.
Twin turbo 2jz it and us the axles from a Chevy 4x4 to rig up the AWD system.
Custom make the transmission out of a Suburban.

Thank you, anon, I'm actually very serious about this and you've just spoonfed me the whole procedure, you're an hero!
/o/, I just got myself a 'new' car a couple of weeks ago. In my month or so of browsing and shitposting on this board, I have yet to come across a thread about how /o/ takes care of the interior of their vehicles. Granted, it's not necessarily the most popular subject, but it still seems like a topic worth discussing.
I just got back from the store and bought a sunshade for the windshield and some air fresheners to start with. Besides this beginner stuff, what other products do you purchase to maintain the interior of your vehicles?

i have cloth seats and full carpet + mats in a big full size van.. it's plush and clean as fuck
forget the fucking trees, they smell like chemical puke
patrician clean is
1. dust whole vehicle with baking soda
2. wait 24 hours
3. vacuum entire vehicle
treat stains with baking soda + water paste
keep armour all wipes in your car for incidental mess
Get it cleaned in the hood by some ghetto guys for ~$60 twice a year.
Otherwise this is all I ever need.
>>15322145
Something I've done for years to keep used car smells away after cleaning is to place a Arm and Hammer fridge fresher box under the front seats, that baking soda with the opening that doesn't leak works soo well.
Also Turtlewax dash n glass, you can get the entire dash and instruments clean then use the same stuff on the windows and it doesn't streak and get oily.
/o/ i need some life advice and seeing as youre my homeboard i feel that i can trust you guys more than other boards.
Im 26 years old and currently working construction. Ive been a construction worker for 5 years but its starting to drag me down with getting up at 3am everyday and a 3 hour commute back home every afternoon.
Id like to test the waters and try to land an apprenticeship as a CNC worker.
Can anyone tell me how difficult of a job it would be to operate a CNC machine and learn everything there is about operating those machines?
Id be...

i was almost a foreman but a Superintendant botched a job super hard and blamed everyone else on the project (15 other people). Company laid us off and fired him and made sure he was not hireable in the top half of the state.

What's the best pickup I can get for ~10k?

A Ranger.
Depends where you are. Here you could start getting single cab 4x4 4M41 powered Mitsubishi Tritons for that, or older, higher mileage non turbo diesel J75 and J79 Landcruisers.
I drove one of those nissans for a month. depends on what you define as "best," because I subjectively think my truck is the best even if it isn't objectively the best.
the tranny on that nissan was quite shit though
Here we have a car manufactured in 1980. With its factory engine. That was designed in 1959.
Roast
(my car lol)
There's no argument that it's the worst gen mustang ever created.
The M1 Abrams as designed in the 80's and it's powerplant was drawn up in 54' as a failed design for a helicopter engines.
It's still a really good machine for killing people, for whatever that's worth. Probs your mustang is okay for racing minivans, scooters and heavy commercial trucks. Smoking bitches on the straight aways that's what a sports car is all about, right?
>>15321745
Mustang ii was the worst mustang
the year is 2050 you live in the united states of freedom for a few and you are no longer are able to buy ICE cars as they are too polluty for the futuristic ghetto you live in
but due to the new laws enacted by trumpary clinton bush cheny the 3rd you must give up any cars that you owe money on to be crushed
what cars have you managed to pay off and set aside for you to enjoy and to get you through the rest of your life?????
>financed a car
>less of an enthusiast than I am
If you think car enthusiasm starts and ends with ICE you're a fucking moron
i'm already working on this from canada
so far in my nannystate collection i have 2 bomb proof 70s 2 strokes 3 70-90s 4 strokes (one bomb proof, 2 ??? we'll see) and a diesel van with an engine that will never die
a single airbag between the 5
been driving for a year and a half and this happened
So we were on a hill and the guy infront didn't put enough gas and his car began to roll back, I used my horn to warn him but he didn't stop and eventually the cars kissed.
He got out shaking his head and I got out thinking what the fuck is this madman doing. he took at look at his bumper and got back in his car and drove off, didn't say a word to me
I was checking my bumper and there doesn't seem to be any visible marks of damage, nor do I think there was on his.
What happens...

forget about it
invest in dash cam for next time
If you don't have the plate or any information on the car, there is nothing you can do.
But because there's no damage, nothing is going to happen. He's not going to call the police or anything.
>>15321600
>>15321598
What if he has my number plate or something and tries to say it was me? There were 3 in the car opposed to only me so it's their word against mine which is why I'm worried

All cantturn memes aside, what's a circa-2000 Mustang GT like as a fun/project car? I see them for sale cheap all the time, and this one's practically next door.

So it was either in a wreck of he cheaped out when replacing the fogged over stock lamps.
>>15321573
Yeah, that particular one I'm suspicious of. The seller is at an auto body shop.
But more in general, what're these things like? I hear about plug blowout all the time.

Get a Foxbody. lot easier to work on and there are several aftermarket company's that reproduce everything from original Ford tooling.
(and in my opinion a Windsor is much better then a Modular)
Hey /o/. So I've been reading up on the realistic benefits of adding an hho device to a car. Has anyone applied one to their vehicle and if so have you noticed any improvements at all? Also how would an hho interact with a supercharger as well as a turbocharger? I want to learn all I can but I find the sites offering information to be biased and not very straightforward.
people have used home made adapters for hho in the past, but these dont do shit.
system uses more power generating hydrogen that it puts back in. this is simple thermodynamics.

>>15321535
There are no noticeable gains from it.
>>15321535
if its too good to be true, its too good to be true.
Ask people who race cars, or dragsters etc... why aren't they using it? That being said, i know very little about hho.
