Are big brakes on a daily overkill? I'm tempted to upgrade my brakes to a set of brembo's but I'm not sure if it's worth it given I would only get full use out of them 10 percent of the time. What's your thoughts /o/ ?
Do you regularly abuse your brakes and quickly wear pads/rotors out or overheat them?
>DD
Quality pads > big brake kit
Waste of money, if you don't go on track with it.
>>15180745
You're stupid.
You don't put upgraded brakes on your DD because you need it.
You do it because you're an enthusiast.
Ask any normie if they'd put a few thousand dollars into their car for no reason and they'll think you're retarded.
What do you think of people who drive Pontiac Aztecs?
I don't
great people who embrace the future and multiculturalism
Seems like they'd be adventurous people who like to make the most of things who'd also make pretty good conversation.
Try Fat Burger from now on, you get yourself a double cheese with fries for $2.95, faggot.
I like the tuna here

Bullshit. No one likes the tuna here.

I could buy a $10,000 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP (V8) or a $10,000 2015 Chevrolet Sonic LTZ (I4)
Do I take power over reliability?
Do I take landboat over subcompact?
Do I keep my 200k mile Impala?
Do I an hero?
/o/ must decide
V8
An hero

>Wanting to buy an economy GM product in either case.
wtf are you DOING?
how does /o/ spoil their rides?

Your car doesn't have feelings. That shit is 99% of the time a waste of money.

>Your car doesn't have feelings.
fuck off m8

i'm planning on getting it to 1 000 000 kms at least and i idle for hours
Why do """people""" strip the interior of their daily driver?
Is it because they want to look cool?
Is it because they are so poor they need to take extreme measures to save money on gas?
>>15178661
It's the latter. I did it to my DD.
If you don't care about that stuff there's no reason to keep it.
>>15178661
No matter how hard you try to be edgy, ""people"" doesn't make any sense. They are people whether or not they do a thing you dislike.
I stripped the interior because I'm going to be repairing rust, and you can't cut or weld through carpet and trim.

Weight reduction bro
WTF is wrong with Jonothan Wong?
This guy works for super street magazine as a journalist, so no doubt he get's paid a reasonable amount.
No doubt this guy has been in worked up crazy evos and nissans..
Yet this fucking guy owns a civic with a b16a and describes it as his "dream car" and a car that he has "Wanted since high school..
You would have thought after one drive in an evo he'd realize that civics are gay and slow.
This guy must be on some good hard drugs.
>>15177961
Maybe he just likes simple shit.
Get over it. You sound super jelly
>>15177972
Honestly though he could probably afford a better car.
Stupid Asians.
You should try driving one sometime. Bringing the b16 to 9000 rpm is an experience.
my grandma's 1980s ram is getting too shit and unsafe for driving, and my grandpa didnt teach me shit about fixing it before he died, so I'm thinking of getting her a new truck
ford, dodge, chevy, gmc, or toyota
>>15177240
Get her a Toyota Tundra
>>15177240
Get her a Bedford Rascal
>>15177294
looks like a good vehicle to kidnap and rape children in

Hey /o/, trying to decide on a sub ~$15,000 pre-owned vehicle. Thinking compact or midsize sedan. Here's what I'm looking at:
Dodge Dart (The 1.4L Turbo w/DDCT)
>I've heard the transmissions on these are a bit fucky
Volkswagen Jetta GLI
>These seem to be moderately hard to find in my price range
Kia Optima
>Boring from a performance standpoint, but I kinda like the looks
Your thoughts?
>>15185542
New Kias seem to be bulletproof, and you can get one new with the 10yr/100000mi warranty for just a little bit more than your price point.
I'd avoid the dodge unless it has a concentional auto or stick.
Don't know anything about newish Jettas except that they're huge and have simple, nice interiors for the money
>>15185639
Cool. I kinda liked the Dart because it's basically a fat American version of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta (which they're not importing). But yeah, seems like a bad idea.
Leaning heavily toward the Jetta.

Underage qt broke my left rear light in parking lot. Got her license number, plates phone name and address.
Said I wouldn't report if I get pages in a timely manner.
Did I do it right?
Pic not related
>>15185411
that's a little more than a broken taillight OP
>>15185411
Appears to be leaking blinker fluid all over the ground, thankfully the guys at locktite have something for that, buff right out.
>>15185411
Pages? Pages of what? Pages of nudes?
Were they really that bad?

No.
>>15184566
Holy shit I haven't seen that article in years. The asspain it caused on the forums back in the day was funny.
It's mostly hyperbole
>>15184566
Wow you're almost a year late to the whole fiasco, slowpoke
Hello, /o/,
I have a hypothetical for you.
You suddenly have an infinite amount of money and a sudden overwhelming desire to see the world, and in order to do so, drive the route in pic related (I'll write out a rough list too).
Rules
- have to choose one conventional 4 wheeled vehicle to do it. You can't swap vehicles en route
- you have infinite money, so are allowed to bribe officials to make border crossings no problem
- you have infinite money, so in large enough towns and ports you can pay boat captains to ship you and your vehicle...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>15184084
Oh, and how much money do you think you'll spend in total for the whole trip and everything you need to do it?
obvious answer
l400 intercooled turbo diesel delica
How does this make you feel?
I have a hard time finding a Toyobaru in my favorite color, but 3 out of 4 are orange. So if the only good deal I can find is orange, pic related is what I want to do.
What name should be written over the doors?
Slab Bulkhead.

>what name should be written over the doors
Well, if you want to stay true to yourself and the car, go with: "faggot" or "cuck"

So this happenend to my dad earlier... Got pulverized by a fucking cunt messing with her GPS while he was waiting at an intersection. The woman was doing 90km/h and saw him at the last moment. He got the obvious whiplash but other than he's good. The car however is toast... So what's the best estate to replace it in regard of quality/price, with a budget of around 35k€, new or lightly used?
What if you got your dad a car that doesn't make him want to kill himself
>>15183722
He's done 250000km with it without any problem. So too bad for you he got a good car.
Tell him to buy a Chevrolet Suburban with a grill guard and to rear-end that cunt in the back
