24 Hours of LeMans
Is anyone in LeMans? How fast did you have to reserve your spot? Hotels sold out for next year's race already.
Reminder to support Jackie Chan's race team.

kek, I've done it now.
GM fangirls are mad again.
Is God Hand's technique sound?
I consider God Hand to be the most skilled opponent of the series who didn't rely on supernatural force to compete.
The questions I have, however, are:
1. Is the concept of driving solely with one hand, with the other constantly on the shifter a more efficient technique if one is at an advanced enough level? Would forcing yourself to drive with one hand train you to steer more smoothly?
2. Is resting your hand on the shifter detrimental? I've heard conflicting opinions on the matter.
3. How does...

yeah yeah yeah shut the fuck up.
If you're really good at driving, can you be good if your car is FF? If Takumi had an AE92 or Civic or Mazda 323 instead, would he have done as well?
My friend told me The point of Initial D was that if your car is RWD, and you have the skill, you can beat anyone. FWD does not have this advantage and must depend on its specs more.

Living in Texas, my truck sits out in the heat all day. Being able to start my truck remotely and getting in and not burning myself is wonderful.
Wouldn't it be good if some billionaire went around buying all the worlds preludes and crushing them?
I wish I was bill gates so I could do this.
>>15243524
same
I hate FWD so much man
>>15243525
Saying the only thing that makes preludes crap is FF is an insult to civics, integras and golfs.
Preludes are shit beyond shit.

There isn't a better hobby in the world than driving a rotary
I always liked driving, and somewhere in my 3rd college year I started getting into cars. I have no idea why, just kind of happened. Prior to that I knew nothing about cars and couldn't give a shit.
7 years later I'm thinking about buying my first manual daily driver, either a Civic 1.8L 5 speed or a Scion iM 6 speed. Though I may miss the power my 235hp V6 Sonata has right now. Oh well, my first car was a 103 hp Celica piece of shit.
Hey guys, i'm a massive edgelord with lots of money and i love trolling.
I want to drive around and make people angry and mad. Fuck off if you're a moralfag.
This thread is about modifications to cars to make them more racially offensive and what cars would be optimal for racially offensiveness.
So far i am considering.

I may be drunk right now, ignore my atrocious grammar.
So what cars are best and how best to modify them for creating butthurt?
What angles to exploit?

Worst movie car replicas thread. Post your worst.

Nice
I have two options and need your help deciding.
Im going college next year and commuting so I need a car. I can either lease a 2016 Mustang ecoboost for 4 years or BUY an older GT (2007 or so)
After college I'm hopefully going to grad school so I wont be used the car much but I feel like it would be fun to have when I'm back on break or whatever. If I lease the newer car I would have to return it and wouldn't have this experience.
What would you choose? How are the older 2006-2008 Mustangs compared to the new ones? GT vs ecoboost specifically
>>15236642
why would you get a mustang while in college?
I would go for a more practical car desu, but that's just me.
To answer your question though, I would definitely buy an older GT. Leasing is almost always a bad idea.

Is it worth getting a manual version of an economy car?
pic related, not sure whether to get a 9th gen Civic 1.8 with the 5 speed stick or 5 speed automatic. Not even going to consider the CVT models.
