Lol 2jzfags literally on suicide watch.
no one believes me when i say the n54/n55 twin turbo bmws are the new mkiv supra
hell, i'd say they're even better just because they're way cheaper, common, and in a 10-15 year newer chassis
for like 10,000 miles or less before everything starts falling apart
Weebs will always spout the reliability meme. They will always spout "muh 4 banger". They will always call bmw owners fuccbois, yet here we are.
What's the best brand of aftermarket steering wheels that isn't incredibly expensive?
I'd like to say MOMO is good, but my friend told me they're garbage, and I don't know shit about steering wheels.
>steering wheel
>garbage
It's a fucking wheel with some rubber/leather on it dude, this ain't rocket science.
Just get what looks cool and gives you street cred:
>slamming your face into your momo steering wheel because you wanted to pretend you're speedy speed boy and got rid of your airbag
>>15218509
Sparco, Momo, Nardi, Personal are all fine. I'm sure there are more that I'm forgetting. Just don't get one of the eBay chinese knockoffs, those aren't fine.

Are actually gay or is it just a gimmick?
I'm thinking of buying a 2013 or 2014 Civic LX with the 5 speed manual. Would /o/ recommend?
Or will it be a hassle to shift an econobox? And will I get buyers remorse or are these fun to drive?

Does driving stick make bitches wet?
>>15212651
every girl that has been in my car i ask them "do you like guys that drive stick"
every single one has answered yes.
if you can make girls wet without a car, then yes
if vaginas dry at the sight of you, then no
>>15212651
No. The majority of expensive cars are automatic. Manually shifting gears is for peasants and neckbeards now.
At what age did you realize there is a replacememnt for displacement?

Recordings of people hysterically laughing had to be inserted into the critically panned first episode of the BBC2 motoring show when the around 500-strong large crowd failed to laugh at jokes by new presenter Evans and his sidekick Matt LeBlanc.
One glaring example of the fake chuckles came when the Friends star made a joke about Top Gear and Lawrence of Arabia.
The 48-year-old said: “I don’t know about you but I often lie awake in bed thinking when they approach Top Gear to remake Lawrence of Arabia, which they will, which car are we going to replace the...

Shit thread to be honest
Why the fuck are used trucks so overpriced? Half of the shit I've seen is much more than kbb estimates. I just want a truck that doesn't have a quarter of a million miles on it.
>>15205597
gotta pay to play.
>>15205597
Well, what are you looking for?
Regular cab work trucks aren't that expensive fambly.
>>15205611
op probably wants a bigger engined, 4x4 extended cab for the same price as the 2wd work truck trim with the 4-banger.
If you had 6000 dollars RIGHT NOW and needed a daily that could be fun with low-ish maintenance costs, what would you buy?
The cheapest 944 I could find. Very reliable and easy to work on.
I'd rather just upgrade my current car
Probably a 90s or early 00 lexus
What's the best way to destroy a vehicle that the mechanic wouldn't notice or would be too baffled to try and explain?
I shifted from drive to reverse to 7K rpms a couple of times and dropped a rusted nut down the oil fill ,but I believe it got stuck somewhere.
What are your intentions?
why

Take morbidly obese people to six flags in the summer. The stench will never leave the car and defies all reason. Ask me how I know.
Well, /o/, since I know I should go for a rather robust car that's not too expensive (especially insurance and fuel), I've figured out that the 316/318 is pretty good (~7.8L/100Km) when it comes to fuel efficiency, even through it's engine is pretty weak.
My dream cars are the E34 540, E38 750 and E31, and even through they're fucking epic and the E34 is even cheap (2900Euro), I couldn't pay insurance and fuel cost. It'd just fucking break my neck.
I'm from Germany so there's lots of used ones of these.
They're as...

>buying the small engine in a sports car
hahaha eurocucks.
get a twingo.
You should try the BMW general for all your BMW related questions.
The 316/18 are trash, extremely unreliable engines that might or might not blow up tragically.
Then again, they just might endure 5 years of being beat like an unruly wife and not give a fuck.
They're quite underpowered for those heavy bodies.
Get the 318is compact and you basically have an euro hachiroku, but more powerful
Honda Prelude thread? Are these good cars? They seem really nice, love the look.

Whats bad about it?
This is all the GT86 had to be. This is all it needed. Here's the template.
How would you spec it out so that it's still cheaper than the current Toyobaru while still offering around the same ballpark.
that's an okay looking bar of soap.

congrats, you spec'd a car that would be a financial failure
