Why can't the GTR turn if it's supposed to be the best handling car of the 21st century?

Did they died?
>buying a shit tier car
Holy shit, it's like some kids here like having auto problems a year after their purchase. If you're buying a car, don't buy some used clunker guaranteed to die on you or give you costly problems. Most people can have at least one good possession even if they're poor.I just don't understand kids that rush to buy the equivalent of Wal-Mart toys.

Are Honda Civics actually popular or just a ricer's dream car?
they're quite popular
>>15179530
It's just that a lot of Ricers use them.
Well, making this thread was stupid...
Anyone have one of these? Is it worth it to grab one?
Or do I just go with a 300zx?
Why are you comparing a Caddy to a 300zx?

Im not?

It's a Rabbit with a pickup bed. If you like old small cars, go for it. It is, how ever, mind-numbingly slow. Like, too slow for highway commutes. Nothing an engine swap can't fix.
The real downside is dealing with other VW owners. They truly are the most obnoxious fanbase on earth.
What's up, /o/?
I have come up with some new Lingo for us all to use. They will relate to our board and will be for us only, NOT for normies from Reddit.
Feel free to contribute if you want!
My ideas:
-Instead of "cool" we can say "cars", because cars are the coolest things ever, right?
-Instead of "faggot", we can say "ricer", because nothing is faggier than a ricer!
-Instead of "shit", we can say "Mitsubishi", because everyone know's they're shit
-Instead...

Anyone here experienced with cv joints? Im replacing the front axle seals on my 97 gmc k1500 and noticed my cv boots are about to fail. I want to keep my oem half axles and not replace them with chinese remanufactured junk. Ive ordered the 4 boots and was looking on the internet high and low but couldnt find anything related to my vehicle with the procedure. I want to clean and repack them with fresh grease. Anyone done this before? Im capable...just not really sure because lack of information.
Also the boots ive purchased are the oem style...not the speed boot or whatever they are refered to.
fuck replacing cvjoints.
no really i would do it myself but i do not have a proper lift.
seriously op just cough up the $150-200 a shop will charge you for labour

>Ali told Jalopnik he received $4,972 from HPE on May 25, but the timing of this refund coincides with when Hennessey knew we were looking into it for a story. It’s also a very far cry from the full $75,000 refund Ali is seeking.

I'm looking for a cool muscle car to use as my DD. I found a nice looking 74 Amc Javelin for $6500 or a nice looking 1980 camaro for $6000. Is there any other cars you'd recommend. Also we could turn this into a muscle car general.
Pic is of said camaro
>>15178556
That's pretty nice
If you want something more on par with modern cars I'd say a dodge dart or demon
If you want a boat, something like a '70 olds cutlass or 71 plymouth roadrunner
Check your sector's smog mandates before settling on a year.
2009 Lancer Ralliart or Honda's S2000 AP1?
I can't choose between the two.
Shit that is a super easy choice man, you know it in your heart

What? Why? This is exciting that Hyundai is stepping it up to try to compete with the big boys. Hyundai has come a long way. Also, the newer Genesis are damn nice cars.

So they're going to build something aimed squarely at the Golf GTI/R now? Could be interesting. The Kia Pro_Cee'd GT was like a step below the true hot hatch lineup.
How do I talk my parents out of buying one of these?

They live in Colorado so they'll need something that does fairly well in the snow and stormy conditions...
>>15178372
Let them buy whatever they want. Nothing will be good in the snow because they probably can't drive for shit.

Everyone in Colorado is a bad driver so it doesn't matter desu

Outbacks are pretty good in the snow, relatively speaking
