Why does everyone in SoCal drive like an asshole
I go atleast 10 over keeping with the flow of traffic and I'm still being tailgated.
I fucking hate this shitty state.
Welcome to the club pal
Cuckfornia..where the gas prices and drivers are equally shitty as fuck
FUCKING FAGGOT CRVs GOING 40 ON THE FREEWAY RRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Socal is a shithole filled with shit drivers
alright /o/, how the FUCK do you tell if a car is 180sx/200sx/240sx ? one day i see a car called 180sx and then next time the same car is called 240 sx ? is there any difference ? only thing i can tell apart is different gens (s13/14/15) but thats about it.
help me /o/
The difference is under the hood.
>>15428949
>200SX is the AE86 looking S12 with the steering wheel on the left
>180SX is the RHD Japanese S13
>240SX is the LHD USDM counter part.
Correct me if I'm wrong?
240SX = KA24
200SX = SR20
180SX = CA18
I need some advice, /o/
I have a car that's got some issues piling up, and I'm not sure whether or not I should continue dumping money into this car, or just cut my losses and get a newer one on payments.
I mostly wrench on it myself, but even so I've still ended up dumping most value of the car in repairs/parts.
It still needs a fair bit of work (~1000$ worth, and the car is worth ~$3000), and at this point I'm getting really tired of fucking with it.
wat do?

Well tell us the issues you cock sucker
>>15428885
needs all 4 cats replaced, needs the dash torn apart to get to some electrical parts that need replaced (mainly the blend door actuator), the ABS doesn't work at all, the parking brake cable is rotted and doesn't work, the front driver side fender is rotting (that's the only rust on the car tho), the traction control only works intermittently, and valve stem seals are starting to go - those are the most glaring issues
>>15428942
and that's excluding the work i've already done btw
So i'm about to sign for a really good leasing program from my work and the car i'm taking is the BMW M2 active tourer hybrid.
Now i know it isnt a very pretty BMW but it has all the comfort and performance of BMW you expect.
But, some friends pointed out that its a chick car.
A car only women would drive.
are they right?
You might get a little shit for it, but people will make fun of anything you drive. I used to have a yellow Mazda Protégé5. Car was pretty fun for an econobox and it did what I needed it to. Don't worry what some loser says, a car is a car.
I also drive a truck now, so I get small dick jokes. It really doesn't matter what you drive.
>>15428781
That mazda really isnt a chick car.
but thanks, i'm going for the car, i just wanted to know what /o/ was thinking.
>>15428734
>BMW M2
Your Man Card has been revoked. Good day.
Been lurking for a while somebody please tell this idiot everything he needs to know about the 1980-91 quattros, there is one parked outside my school and im thinking of trying to buy it
>outside my school
Unlikely it's a good quattro. There was an everyman quattro.
If it's a good quattro, you won't be able to afford it.
THEN there's the thing of "parked outside my school, I'm trying to buy". Don't be the obnoxious fuck, who has no idea about shit, trying to approach someone to buy their car.
tl;dr: go to sleep, forget about the car.
Well, let me ask. If it were semi decent condition would it just be a massive money pit?
>>15428580
Yes.

Never pushed my luck, just give him the wheel when I get too sleepy.
Trip is like 3.5 + pack up + 3.5 hours or so.
How the hell do I stay awake?
I use caffeine pills.
Take one before start, take one at the warehouse (or two), but it seems...

Either sleep like a fucker before the trip, or die.

Caffeine is like a drug, literally. The more you take the lesser the effect. For now take my advice and hibernate before trips like everyone else and wane yourself off from caffeine for a few weeks. Only use them when you're tired as shit, trust me.
Loud music also helps, and by being cold. i.e. rolling down the windows or blasting the ac.
Chew sunflower seeds
Blast music
Count the number of red cars you pass
Scream for a solid 5 seconds
Roll windows down
Turn between full blast a/c and full heat
Tell yourself a story
Make a budget out loud
Make a goal out loud
Give every oncoming driver a look
What not to do at a stoplight bro
Roughly 8 hours will be fine. You shouldn't need to worry. If, though, you do get tired, the only thing to do is sleep 30 minutes. Everything else is bullshit and dangerous, because it only works for a minute or two.
Hey /o/, I was just curious about the Evo 8. The forums all say it's reliable enough to DD and that there's no real problems aside from regular maintenance. Is this true? Most of me really wants to believe it but something just sounds off about it as I've heard other things as well. I'm making decent money and am looking for a decent performance car around 10-12k as a step up from my V6 mustang I stupidly bought when I turned 16.
>>15428303
It's true. The problem is that you must find one that hasn't been touched by children, poor people who don't maintain it, or basically anyone who even looks like they modify cars and with a Lancer Evolution this is next to impossible.
>>15428303
>Realises V6 mustang is a mistake
>Wants an evo now
Whew lad
>>15428315
Are there certain things that would help me know if it was treated poorly? The closest thing I found to a non modified one was straight piped and the guy was selling it to get a safer car for his son.
Everyone's doing it
Except you.
I'm not a 32 year old woman who doesn't know anything about cars, walked into a dealership and bought the first thing a salesman pointed at.
Because i drive the superior Kia version
Too many kex
For the rotary boy's:)

Couldn't find that much bad about this car, think it would be a good buy?
it's okay but why not get a newish camry, corolla, or civic for that price?
>>15427697
An SX4 could literally drive over a Camry while pulling the Civic out of a ditch.
They also look awesome, like little rally cars, and are drop-dead reliable (just avoid the CVT models, or playing with the manual mode)
>>15427687
>Suzuki Car
No.
Can someone find what car is it ? Thanks anons
>>15427589
Looks like a FAMAS.
>>15427593
Wait, wrong board, that's some kind of Dodge Stratus.

Thoughts on this? How bad is maintenance and insurance going to be?
>>15427379

why even bother
>>15427379
>R33
>GTS-T
It's like the only two things you wouldn't want when buying a skyline
>>15427383
....because it's RWD, and it has the RB25 and not the RB20
Not OP btw
I'd like to have been at the conference where someone said "Let's make our new truck look like a depressed whale" and everyone else said "Fuck yeah let's do it"
>>15427153
I prefer depressed over angry. Not even memeing.
Truck design peaked with 90s GM trucks.
>>15427536
That's not the 90's f150
Explain to me why this rice cooker is not going up in value, But every other POS is?
>>15427123
Because it's a gigantic car with no power, and most of the 1JZ versions have been totaled or trashed
>>15427123
>>15427128
And it is overshadowed by the JZA80
>>15427123
most are destroyed
