nice dubs, me
In this thread, poster below you has to pick between two cars you put head too head.
Starting off, BMW M4 or Nissan GTR.
>>15123934
GTR
McLaren p1 or LS swapped miata
>>15125043
The Miata. I don't like McLarens.
Out of these two
>>15125245
the SS
V6 camaro vs V6 Mustang
I'm looking to buy a nice, sportive car.
Not going on Trackdays and it needs to have 4 seats and a trunk, as i'm using as a daily driver.
Right now i'm looking at a Maserati GT from 2012 ~ 30km ~ 60k$
Seems like a good deal to me
Only other options i can think of are Porsche 911 and Nissan GT...Both do not appeal to me
Any other ideas/suggestions??
Any known issues with the GT??
inb4 BMW...For sure don't want...
>>15118624
the rear axle will literally fall off the car while you drive it
Rear Axle issues?
Please elaborate!
>>15118624
Just making sure that you have the financial standing to cover any unexpected expenses, right?
Maseratis are legendary for breaking down, expensive repairs, and needing a long time in the shop. I don't know the specifics of the GT issues, I'm mainly going off rumor and anecdotes from people I know who have owned newish Maseratis (they all regret the purchase due to reliability issues to put them mildly).
Do the back seats need to be big and usable, as in adults can comfortably sit back there?...

tell me why importing a 1991 skyline gt-r for 17k is a bad idea
>>15128782
25 year old semi-legal car that you can't personally inspect for $17k is not a bad idea.
>>15128782
it isn't bro. just fucking do it. don't let these faggots convince you otherwise. if you have the money then do it, if it turns out to be a bad idea then what the fuck ever who cares. learn from it and move on
>>15128782
just sell it to canada

How bad is driving manual in daily traffic? I really want to get a manual but am afraid I'll regret it for a DD. Weekend car? Absolutely. Not sure about sitting in traffic with one every day.
>>15128426
It depends honestly, I hated driving it south on 95 from DC to Fredericksburg, shit was bumper to bumper and can tax your knees, but if your area is lower population it would probably be more enjoyable
>>15128426
just get paddle shifters bro
>>15128440
I'm in the Chicago burbs. Dealing with stop and go traffic on the highways is a daily occurrence.

My car battery kept dying. Turns out it was grounding out on the trunk hatch that was busted. Charged like $500 to fix but someone later told me they can find that really quick with a scan tool or something.
How often do you rage while driving?
On a scale from:
>0 never
to
>10 every second
What's the usual reason for it?
10

>How often do you rage while driving?
Depends on how many snail's pace geriatrics are out on the road. I'm not even a speeder, but for God's sake at least fucking do something remotely resembling the speed limit on wide open roads. 100 kph posted and they're fucking along at 80.

I did once like 10 years ago but since then, I haven't. I'm pretty laid back and usually just say "okay" when someone does something stupid
Why do manuals have to die?
Why aren't there more people into driving cars?
In the old world it's 95% manuals, so i have no idea what you are talking about.
the old world also figured out to put turn lanes everywhere that makes sense, in the new world there's still places where even one car making a left can cause congestion and manuals and congestion don't make for enjoyable driving
>>15107763
People are getting into the "Luxury" part of it these days. Nothing luxury about driving a manual. I'm sure back in the day people like you were bitching "Why do horses have to die? Why aren't there more people into riding horses?"
Progress.
>AMG C43
>C43
Why is Mercedes killing the AMG brand? Now they make C43s and 450 crossovers with AMG branding - that don't even have the "one man one engine" or anything special about them. Here in South Florida these toy cars are everywhere. AMG used to mean something - now it isn't anything special at all.
Why did Mercedes ruin the AMG brand?
Is it just too profitable to not stick that badge on there?
>>15127190
Is Mercedes sticking the AMG badge on these cars or does AMG say "Yo guys, give us a wider range of models and engines to work on, so we can expand and make more profit to fund the next supercar"?
>>15127313
Mercedes owns AMG, so, they drive what it goes on. I imagine the badge adds so much profitability that it is tempting to stick it on just about anything.
Now they make AMGs with main plant engines, like the v6 that is going in the c43. I'm sure it is a nice engine, but it isn't an AMG - and it isn't a special car.
They also make a GLE 450 AMG now with a similar story. See attached.
They may be working to fund a supercar, but, if they use the AMG brand for the supercar I think...

Looking at doing helmet 'fairing' similar to pic related.
Spotlights in the helmet, and a digital dash on the back of it
>>15124096
that sounds pretty neat mate
>>15124103
I have the crashed bike and shit helmet pre-requisites, but a visor costs $85 and that's the cheapest I can find. Are all visors that expensive?
