I really hate this meme, it triggers me.
I wish normies wouldn't talk about cars and just stick to commenting on peoples lunch on instagram and facebook instead.

Its true though.
But people are gonna do what they want.

they are right tho
stance is fucking stupid
>This is the best engine yet to grace the MX-5 platform. It makes a playground of every first, second and third-gear corner, and brings calm assurance to overtakes.
>There’s such delicious balance and transparency to everything it does that within a mile you’re flicking to Sport for its sharper responses, knocking off the stability control and having a blast in a car that delivers all that the GT86 and MX-5 promised and didn’t wholly deliver.
>And then the turbo gets to work, its efforts parcelled out by the LSD, and you can set your angle of travel with hilarious ease. Yes, the turbo does alter the character. But in a good way.
>Forget the MX-5: there’s something Caterham 160-esque in the way that the car's chuckable balance, predictable limit handling and robust lateral body control have you joyfully whittling away the tread of the rear tyres at the exit of every sharp bend.

not surprised
and this is BEFORE tuning, after tuning you're looking at 230 to the wheels, which is a whole other level of madness

Oh shit this is /o/
I wish for a high buyer, for either of my cars.
What is it about manual transmissions attract so much autism. The two main culprits are rev matching and down shifting through every gear. Those two usually go hand in hand. This is how a normal person slows down in a manual. You apply the break while shifting the car into neutral. If you are coming to a complete stop you go to first. If you have to speed back up you judge what gear you need to be in depending on your speed. Quit being so fucking autistic and more people may buy manuals.
Anything that requires any semblance of skill to get it right attracts autism in many forms.
Sports, sciences, trades, performances, dance.
To keep it /o/ you have people on here who have never driven a manual transmission and swear by automatics who sperg out when they catch a whiff of anyone who does not use a torque wrench on their lug nuts.
>>15240095
i drive a manual and use a torque wrench on my lug nuts
>>15239608
I honestly believe this habitual nature to be formed by their fearful memory of stalling it in first gear. By not understanding how the transmission works, they have a paranoid fear of stalling the vehicle by incorrectly chosing 4th, instead of 3rd.
Of course we know that's not going to happen, because we're not blindly fumbling about with our cars like fucking retarded lemmings at cliffs edge... but I honestly think that's why they get all autistic over downshifting and rev matching.

Any black faggots out there?
Maybe it's just a dumb stereotype, but it seems like black guys prefer to just cruise around in big comfy sedans. Most of the legit enthusiasts I see are usually White, Asian or Hispanic.
Do black people know how to drive manual? Serious question.
>>15239612
Are you even black?
>>15239612
on this board? type r, e30, cuntswe and that's just the tripfags
>>15239612
I have a black friend that is an enthusiast and drives a tiburon. And a black guy from my old school was into Silvia's and drifting. He acted white though.

A cuck over at Time magazine has compiled a list of the worst 50 cars ever made. It contains great vehicles such as Ford Exploder, Amphicar, Multiple and Pontiac Aztec.

What would /o/ have done differently?

shitty dumb normalfag list
>not one but TWO AMCs
I think they can fuck right off.
lemme guess it's from someone who just thinks worst cars means ugly or didn't sell well, and has no car background
I'll pass home boy
why is trance the best driving music?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48LX8-Ko2aA
The predictable rhythm and structure really suits driving. I used to listen to Oceanlab all the time on long journeys. I had amped front speakers and a sub, nothing special but it sounded great. I don't do long distances at all these days which kind of sucks as it was the only time I'd get to listen to music.
>>15237595
>2 minutes of buildup
why
>>15237613
That's how trance is, or electro for that matter.
Original mixes have long buildups for DJ sets so they have time to pick up the beat and blend it into another track
Post factory options that are completely pointless.
Inb4 manual transmission
>>15233558
But they aren't pointless. They're cheaper to manufacture and rebuild, thus making a new car with a manual cheaper. They're also more fuel efficient.

The BBC is doing everything in their power to prove Clarkson correct about his irreplaceability.
