What are the other benefits of driving manual?
To grab the clutch? Are you a retard?

>each between her legs to grab the clutch
Guess how I can't tell you've never driven a manual in your life.

Pick one.
Having a debate with a police officer and might get a ticket if I'm wrong.
Is this car a sedan or an SUV?
2006 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport
its a wagon
>>15169931
It's a wagon.
It's a wagon.
/o/ if you were going to pick a stick shift (or 3 on the tree column shift) van to live in while road tripping from South Florida to as far north in Alaska as you can get what would you do it in?
If it makes a difference back roads will be traveled whenever possible and highways avoided.
Sprinter
Vanagon
E series
Falcon Van
>>15169908
I wouldn't get 3 on the tree.
If something in the shifter breaks (which is comming for 3 trees) You're boned, there is little to no parts available. You'll need to fabricate them.
My understanding is most 3 trees that were ever built were converted to 4 speeds.
What should I know / consider about window tinting? Going to have this done to my car soon.
My state law says tint "must allow greater than 20% light". I get the feeling I can't just request 21% VLT tint. Am I wrong?
>my law says i cant have more than 20%
>do you think i can have 21%
>>15169845
I figure it comes in discrete increments, right? 25% maybe?
You mean you can't get less than 20%
I this a waste of money, or does this shit actually make a difference in performance?
If your car needs higher octane than you can buy then it's useful to up the octane.
In a shitecobox? no
>>15169747
No, not a shit box. Just wanna try to see if this stuff actually works. I wouldn't want to be stupid and waste money on it to only find out that it doesn't work, is it possible to fill your car with unleaded plus and also add octane boost? or is that too much?
>>15169779
What does your fuel cap/manual say that you need?
It's probably cheaper to buy the right RON/ROZ/AKI fuel
![map-italy[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/zBUuanD.png "map-italy[1].png")
why do italian cars get so much hate on /o/ ?
>>15169714
Because as much as /o/ claims to like fun, they want their cars to be econoboxes. They can't understand wanting a car for the sole reason of enjoyment, they're always fettered by their instinctual benchracing.
>>15169740
Shitaly makes loads of econoboxes, some of them are even pretty good.
>>15169714
Because unless your going to spend over $200k the car is guaranteed to be an unreliable shitbox with tons of competition in its class being produced by superior companies.
Daily reminder: America is the global leader in automotive tech.

but that is wrong, Formula E cars are powered by McLaren

FTFY
This thread is about to completely go to shit isn't it?

What do you have, /o/?
Also, I will create a document based on the first 100 answers and come back with a statistical analysis of /o/s drivetrain choice
I will bump this thread every hour or so until 100 answers are reached. Any predictions?
>>15169419
Majority FWD with RWD coming in second AWD coming in third and the other two being insignificant
>>15169347
what do you mean with AWD and 4WD ? what the difference ?
Is there a "my first project car" like a Beetle that's not a Beetle?
>Classic, beautiful retro design
>Normal-ish size
>Simple
but
>No hideous aircooled engine from the stone age.
Something like a Mini, but not microscopically small.
>>15169308
>girly like the Beetle and Mini too
Beetle with a Subaru boxer swap.
>>15169337
>first project car
>engine swap
Aight. If you want it to stay in the garage for the next three years until you pay someone else to finish it.
>no aftermarket roof for aerial atom
Awww
When will the earliest models get relatively cheap i wonder.
Anyone here own one or going to get one?
>>15169291
Hell no. I could smoke THE FUCK out of an Atom in my EG hatch with just a few simple mods.
>>15169291
>roof
I mean its not a daily
why would you want to add weight? its almost the same weight as a V-twin motorcycle
>>15169291
>When will the earliest models get relatively cheap i wonder.
never.
atoms are virtually depreciation proof.

>>15169262
Of course you should. Just look at it.

Just post it
probably gonna be upside down or something
can you make a good track time attack car using only junkyard parts?
I'm sure you could find usable stuff there like brakes and other parts
just make this patchwork frankenstein car out of a honda or something
No, because good brakes, tires, and bushings aren't going to be in a scrap yard.

Your opinion on this car.
>>15168744
It makes sense in dense european cities, but not in murka. It's hardly smart either, it doesn't cost much less than a Versa Note but has no cargo space, no options except a radio and a/c, and has a shitty 3 cylinder and automated manual.
qt
I wanted one when I was 10-11
I still find them qt but I've graduated to a miats
>>15168744
If I lived in London and could afford to run a car, it could be an attractive option, but I would probably go with a G-Wiz instead to avoid the congestion charge.
