No, it's a shit car with no soul made out of recycled bottles. It's for people whose only priorities are practicality and price.

ARE YOU READY /O/ ITS TIME FOR MONSTER TRUCK JAM!
Seriously tho what does /o/ think of Monster Trucks?
when I was little my dad would bring my brother and I to Monster Jam and needless to say it was fucking awesome. Would love to go again now that i can drink and enjoy some monster trucks with a bunch of beers in me, grow a big fat belly and havit stickin outta the bottom of my grave digger t shirt. fuck yeah, 'murica.

It's great at what it does; entertain. There's really nothing more to it. Don't take it too seriously, and you'll have a great time watching some stuff get crushed; over think, and your doomed to make comparisons to more serious motorsports such as WRC or GT racing.

So apparently the original Fast & Furious movie is getting a special 15th Anniversary re-release in theaters on June 22nd

>10 years since Tokyo Drift too

BACK IN THEATERS?
I AM SO FUCKING READY.
>>15145657
Apparently its a one-day thing only though.
Which kind of sucks desu. It would be cool if it was there for a few weeks, just to see how it would hold up in the summer box office today as opposed to 15 years ago when it came out.
It would also be cool if 2Fast and Tokyo Drift got their own limited theater re-runs, but the chance of that happening is extremely slim.

It almost makes me not even want to buy a "fun" car, it just seems pointless now.
I still don't get drag strips.
The way I see it, something like autocross is less about money, and more about skill. You can do well in autocross on a pretty cheap budget.
Whereas drag strips take very limited skill and are mostly about how much money you pour into your car. Plus it lasts like 14 seconds.
Maybe it's because I've never been to either.
So the 500X is finally being sold in my country.
Since the Mazda CX-3 is not available here, is there any other Mini SUV that might be a better idea instead of the 500X?
I prefer the smaller form factor contrary to full SUVs.
>>15145407
>fiat crossovers
my god
>>15145407
I don't think there's anything a CX-3 or 500X can do that a hatchback Impreza can't.
>>15145432
Here the Impreza versions sold are sedan or the WRX STI.
Hey /o/
Just looking for some quick advice. I currently drive a 2008 Lancer, and am looking at trading it in for a 2006 Magnum R/T (I've loved these cars since I was a kid) with the 5.7l HEMI.
Now I know Dodge/Chrysler products from this era are not the most reliable, and the HEMI has a reputation for dropping valve seats, is this something I should be concerned about or is it fairly uncommon? I don't think I could afford an engine replacement.
As always, thanks.
Pic related, current car
In the market for a LX platform Magnum as well. Stay the fuck away from any 2.7L car and any 2005 model. 2006 and 2007 are good, but 2008 is the best year of all of them. SXT, RT, or SRT8 are good. Keep in mind that the 4speed auto is one of the worst transmissions ever made, however you only got it in LX cars that didn't have a V8, or AWD.
Also, if it has "upgraded alternator", "heavy duty battery", "upgraded sound system" or chrome dubs its been fucked by some nigger.
>>15145419
No it's stock, very clean, 138k kms. 5-speed auto.
5.7 RWD
Is this the reason my car has trouble starting after it's been sitting for a couple of hours?
>>15145184
I dunno
>>15145184
That battery looks too new to have that much corrosion on the terminals. Clean them and tighten em properly, might just be a loose connection.
>>15145184
Buy a new battery and connectors.
If it works good after that then yes, if not then no.
Also I really hope that's some shitbox you bought for $1,000 how can someone take such poor care of their rig.

The dizzy, points or electronic? if it doesn't start with even starting fluid(or even backfire) it's spark. Check for power to coil and dizzy. if it's points, take a screw driver or pointy stick and rub those cunts together. Sounds like you only have basic tools(no feeler gauges) so get a match book and set the gap while you're under the cap(google this for plenty of guides).
Don't rely on the dummy lights in the dash. Go to an autoparts store and buy a temperature gauge. could go in place of the old sending unit or anywhere you can find a properly...

Well in reality, the to do list as it stands is get windshield replaced, rebuild steering column, rebuild brake pedal sensor, adjust parking brake and, well, get her running again. I'm actually pretty close, I've just run into setback after setback with this car (which are really steps forward dive the car is pointing out what's wrong to me). I have a 4 day weekend starting tomorrow so I might be able to get it done. I'm also working with 3rd party on proper registration. I guess I just came here...
