What the hell am I going to do /o/?
Find a big hill and roll them down it?
Find a big hue and burn them in it?
Pile them up in your backyard and light them on fire, we're in America after all

Oh boy, what'd you do now OP
Okay /o/, I have a question. Give me ONE (1) reason why I should change my own oil, when I can get it replaced for me, with full synthetic oil, brake inspection, and tire rotation for less than $20.
After years and years and years of working my ass off, I am finally in a financial spot where I can afford to buy myself something nice. A little treat to reward myself.
I want a weekend car. Something fast. I cant break the bank (so no Bugatti lol), but anything under 300k is easily doable.
Problem is, I've never driven a sports car before. I don't even know how to drive a manual.
I absolutely not want to be one of those douchebags who drives a Ferrari and crashes it around the first corner they hit.
Is it possible to transition straight...

porsche 911 turbo, maybe one of the easiest cars to drive and still very capable, if you want somethng more exotic and easy audi r8

audi r8 sounds like a good option, 4wd to keep you out of ditches and trees.
Why spend so much money when you can just get an old civic, throw in a couple mods and dust these bitch lambos all day
I got a Mazda Miata 1992. And accidently I left the keys on the trunk. This model doesn’t have a trunk realease in the front side.... Anyone know any trick to release the trunk ? I’m really far from the city right now. (Bonus points if it doesnt screw up my car)
op is stupid same shit happened to me
>>15113568
I don't see any way but the only way possible is to open up the trunk by calling a mechanic. That can actually "screw up" the trunk.
Good luck in getting your keys back.
>>15113568
Just wait for the car to rust open so you can reach into the trunk cavity to retrieve the keys.
Don't worry about it taking too long—the car will rust faster than it accelerates.

Alright guys, I fucked up the last thread by not putting a title on it, my bad
Old thread will start autosaging soon.
Old thread here - >>15003646
Shamefully copied from legendary VINbro's threads
>I am able to run US/Canadian VINs (anything with a fitting VIN; bikes, cars and so on) and US plates. For plates the same rules apply as VINs; 1981 or newer, US registered, and the plate and state are needed. Plates do work most of the time, but VINs are more reliable.

Well, that means the car was, at one point, owned by someone who couldn't afford it, and probably wouldn't afford/care about maintenance or keeping it in good condition

Hey o. Can you recommend me a fun and reliable sports car that has no electronic/computer assists?
>no ABS
>no TCS
>no STM
>no DBW (drive by wire)
>no AT
>no electronic/computer assists, etc
I want to know what it feels like to drive a real sports car.
>>15108327
GT86
Miata fits that bill very well.
Earlier models had no electronic nannies, and are dead reliable.
E36 M3
I think
well guys the time has come and I must find myself another vehicle.
I'm at a bit of a crossroads here though and I can not decide what my next car should be. I've driven the same 2006 Civic Si for 10 years (original owner)
Right now I haven't made up my mind on any specifics, except sporty but with a ~10k budget in mind (for private sale or as a down payment)
Any suggestions?
TLDR: I wrecked my civic, suggest what I should fuck up next
miata faggot

After 10 years you don't want to upgrade?
Are radar detectors useful or are they a waste of money?
>>15105485
A waste, just watch your speed and don't drive like a fucking nigger
They're only useful in traffic, where another car may be radared first, aka when you shouldn't be speeding anyways
>>15105485
I have one, and while it does give a ton of false positive alerts, you at least get a semi-safe feeling when speeding because it will sniff out any form of radar from a mile away and give you time slow down
Is it worth it?
Depends on how often you speed and how far over the limit you go
