>tl;dr help me buy a car, also post your 1st cars and how good they were for you
Hi /o/ I'm looking to buy my first car and could use some help! I know fairly little about cars and whats good so I'd love some advice.
Here's my current situation:
>I want to own whatever I buy outright and currently have $4100
>I'm 6' 7" so the car would have to be fairly roomy
>I want something that is good for road trips (500-1500...

The last car that i posted was flagged so I guess not that one. But something similar wouldn't be bad
I'm 6'3 but look into a used Chevy Equinox. Otherwise, at your height, I would consider a suv of some sort

I asked this in /dbt/ but only got a reply about the KTM and it moves too fast.
I'm coming up on buying a new bike and I can't move up the the A2 license yet so I'm stuck with a 125.
Should I buy a 2 stroke or a 4 stroke trails bike?
I'm tempted to get a KMX or DT just because they seem more fun and they're faster, I'll be doing a lot of trails but there's the possibility of some distance travel and I'm not sure about taking a 2 stroke very far. Both my friends I'll be going around with have 4 strokes, one has...

4 strokes:
More reliable
Better gas mileage
No need to premix fuel
Need valve checks
2 strokes
More powerful
Less reliable but easy to rebuild
Awful fuel mileage
The 2t will be more fun for a small bike but if you plan on long distance travel with it I'd stick with a 4t
TWO STROKE
super fun and easy to work on
most are oil injected so premix isn't an issue
i have an xl175 4 stroke and a suzuki ts 250 and yamaha dt 400 2 strokes

You get 50K to build a driveline for a dragcar (solid rear end, automatic transmission).
You have to select an engine, transmission, and rear end. You must use one component from each of the US Big Three: GM, Ford, and Mopar.
For example, you select a GM engine (e.g. 454 BB), Ford transmission (e.g. AOD) and Mopar rear end(e.g. 8 3/4").
Which driveline components do you pick? Do those picks change if the budget goes up or down? Any changes if you could use a manual transmission, or an IRS?

I drained my blue coolant but did not do a flush and installed a new radiator and then added red oem coolant.
While driving, my car almost overheated. Would not performing a flush have contributed to the overheating?
>>15314607
No.
Check your fuel pump, it may be blocked after a new radiator install. It can cause overheating.
>>15314607
>red oem coolant
What kind of car, year?
>>15314617
Literally what? the fuel pump is on my fuel tank under the passenger seat.

Well fuck me running. Now I'm scared to put it back on.

someone welded over a crack, most likely fine and worst case if it lets go it'll slowly leak out

You know this is how wheels are made right?
>>15314473
It's a 12 year old car though with the original wheels. No telling how long it's been like that.
I don't want to ruin another fucking tire or something.
So, I would like to have an old truck for hauling shit around to the dump, picking shit up at home depot, all that. This old W150 has been on CL for a month for $600.

>I'm selling a 1988 Dodge Ram 150, only 108k miles, runs great, very reliable, used as a daily driver without ever having a problem. Could use some new tires, and has dents in the side and front bumper, and no muffler. Easy things to fix, and it's not loud even without the muffler. Tires are flat in the pictures, but have since been inflated and it's...

$600 for an old Dodge with the 318? That's a good deal. Make sure that all it really needs IS the muffler.
Going to take a while for all the pics so bear with me.
Well, /o/?
well kill yourself

We don't care. Only the fact that Ford won and Chevy lost in LeMans matters.

How long will it take the used car market to collapse once automated cars hit the streets? Will this happen? Why wouldn't it? What happens to everyone's luxury vehicles and exotic cars? Pic unrelated.
they get cheap enough to where i can stop riding the bus
>>15313710
But what if insurance becomes so expensive as a human driver you can no longer afford to drive a non-automated car?
I'm raging way too fucking hard right now so I'm going to make this quick.
I've got a Honda Civic 09 that has not had working AC for the past 4 months. I was getting around just fine and working a hectic schedule so I didn't bring it to a shop until this monday. Took it to a shop and I get a call about 4 hours later telling me the car no longer starts and asking me if I have another key. Apparently that was going to do the trick. I didn't so they checked fuses and other bullshit and couldn't find out what was wrong with it. The owner of the...

What law has been broken here?
Best car new car for under $27,000? I would prefer under $25,000. I want something fun to drive but I don't care about it being "fast". I'm not going to be racing it or driving it at 100% ever.
I'm attracted to a new Civic or perhaps a WRX. The WRX is at the upper limit of what I want to pay. It looks like the WRX could cost about 28,000 which is more than I would like but still possible.
Also thinking about a used S2000. I'm not afraid of working on a car and have done all the work on my current car for 10+ years, but I can finally...

I would prefer something with trunk space which makes me think the S2000 might not be an option. I have a new hobby racing quadcopters and I need to fit my gear in the back and travel to races in my region. I like the idea of a WRX 92-X hatch/wagon for that reason.

What is the comfiest classic car I can drive for long distances with a budget of <$20k?
70s Cadillac for no compromise in maximum comfy. All their seats were couch tier and drive like boats.
>>15313269
That looks disgusting
>>15313269
The funny thing is. For the size and weight of those old Cadillacs, they're horrible in crashes. Crumple up like a can... or would it be more like a keg?

This should give you an idea,

Why would you want to have sex in a car anyway? Just do her doggy style on the hood.
