Whatcha think about the new Lexus IS facelift?
Eh, it'll do I suppose, not like I'm getting one.
>>14923190
Hideous like all modern Lexus (yes, LFA included).
I just don't know what they're thinking with those grills.
I was gonna get an IS-250 (or 350 if the price is right), but I'll stick with this last gen.
I'm not a fan of the big hourglass face.

Do people still think that auto transmissions are better than manuals? I just got my first stick car a couple months ago, and i'm never going back. You can't beat it. Nothing feels better than knowing you're in control. I used to almost fall asleep at the wheel driving auto. It's just boring. People just avoid stick cause they'll actually have to drive their car. Or they can't shift for shit.
autotragic is better than manual in basically every objective category BUT manual is far, far more fun and engaging
>muh fun and engaging
Yeah it is, until you hit bumper-to-bumper traffic and then the fun goes down hill real quick.

Depends it's a slush box auto, or an automated manual "auto".
Let's say I have the shell of a RWD coupe with no engine. It doesn't matter what it is.
I'm interested in swapping an old American V8 into it, and making an old rat rod type car.
I was partially inspired by the roadkill episode where they put the Mopar 440ci into their charger shell.
Where would I be best off getting an old engine like that on the cheap? They bought an old RV and stripped it out and took the drivetrain out of it.
What are some other places where big V8s were used that I can steal the engine from?
Iron block LS/Vortec from a chevy truck. Wrecked third gen camaro. Small blocks like that are going g to be nicer to work with than big blocks.
>>14917188
professionally built engines are expensive, anywhere from 5-12k
if you have the time and aptitude then I would suggest buying an engine block and building your own. this will be significantly cheaper, and will give you what you want.
if you're looking for an engine running to swap look for people parting out their cars to buy the engine from them.
>>14917188
To answer the question directly, you'll be looking for 70's luxury cars, 70's and 80's pickups, some 70's industrials and RV's. No they won't be performance engines but neither was that 413 Industrial out of that motorhome in that episode that inspired you.

Want some salt with that salt? Poorfag

You're severely autistic but mostly correct in being salty.
>>14927516
And?
Sports cars are accessories for most men who would treat them as appliances otherwise. We're just autistic.
