I live in a country (the Netherlands) that makes it impossible for anyone that isn't a millionaire to drive a fun car.
>inb4 miata
I said a fun car
Seriously, gas prices alone are so rediculous that driving anything with a big engine is almost out of the question.
Not even mentioning the costs of insurance, and the fucking tax for owning a car.
Here's an example of what me and my dad have to pay for our cars.
I'm 22 and I drive a BMW 316i from 2000. (slow and old as fuck)
Insurance costs me 80...

You choose yourself a fucking car you want and run the gas mileage plus three liters because fuck you multiplied by how many kilometers you will drive it per month plus five hundred because fuck you.
Then you halve that and imagine how much you'd save if you'd install an LPG system, because that's about as much as you would.
There's always a way, and this is the only one if you want to drive bigbux car in continental Europe. Git gud.
Taxes and insurance can be avoided if you...

My mate has a 330ci on LPG. It basically eats up 100hp.
>>14922868
I'm sure it does mate. My brother has one on his 3 series and it makes just as much power as before, except he pays half of the fuel bill. It eats up half the trunk, I'll readily admit that, but possible power loss is all in the settings of the machine. You need to run it rich.
You can only drive 1 currently produced car for the next 10 years …money is no object. Which do you pick?

Am I the only one that finds these fucking disgusting? I'm not talking about the coconut or strawberry ones either, just Black Ice. Smells like an Arab drenched in Axe.
>>14912374
they do smell like cheap spray deoderant
it's a meme, people don't actually like these
>>14912378
It is a Meme, but they legit smell good. I don't know anyone that doesn't like it.
>>14912378
I really hope so. Used one in my murdered out (black leather and all) TT in the middle of summer. Worst mistake of my life. Being its such a small cockpit and it was so hot, holy fuck I could barely breath without throwing up getting back in my car after work. Took fucking forever for that terrible smell to fade ffs
How in the fuck is this company alive?
For contrarians sake

Why are silvias and skylines the bogans car of choice?
The kind of bogan who buys silvias and skylines are usually convinced that they aren't bogans because they don't have a falcon or commodore.
What they don't realise is skylines and silvias are not fancy cars owned by Asian international students.. Asians want newer evos and stuff now.. Leaving skylines and silvias cheap enough for bogans.
Who gives a shit
Calling them bogans won't cover up the shame of being beaten by one at the lights

Sovereign citizen thread? AM I BEING DETAINED?
I've only ever been pulled over twice. First time for a broken headlight (it was), second time for speeding (I was). Britcops out here are pretty chill t.bh.
>Germany, it's raining
>riding a 50ccm scooter
Now, here's some background. Over here, 50ccm scooters are boyracer rides because a) dirt cheap to get and own b) legally allowed to ride some from 14 years old onwards and c) stock models are stuffed to the brim with limiter devices because the Asian manufacturers sell the same rides in Asia going full speed 100mph but in Europe 50ccms are only allowed to go 35mph. If you rip out the limiters you can go crazy fast in these rust buckets. That's illegal...

When the air conditioning is on in my sisters car it smells like a god damn gym locker for some reason. What could be causing it to smell so bad?
Its Saturday.
Why aren't you at your local track?
It snows.

australian tracks are rarely open to the public
It's Summer, why aren't you riding a motorcycle?
I don't own one. My dad does though. It's a Harley something or other.
Maybe this summer I'll ask him to teach me when I drive up to my parent's house.

I was cruising home last night with the windows down and decided to turn off my music to hear the engine while i was close to home. Rat goes running across road and hear a pop noise as I ran him over. Felt bad.

Is there a real difference?
one contains iridium
the other contains platinum
if this difference is imaginary you are being ripped off m8
iridium seems to have a problem with catastrophic failure
i wouldn't let them anywhere near my vehicles
>>14906760
Copper plugs are the best for conductivity and performance but have the worst longevity
Platinum plugs are the best for longevity, but poorest in performance
Iridium is a bit of both worlds, decent performance and good longevity
Platinum and Irdium tend to overheat unlike copper plugs.
Just use OEM plugs breh
I didn't realize these cars were so fucking slow.
I just embarassed a guy roadraging on the highway in my dad's bone stock 2.0L focus
May be he wasn't trying to race?
>>14916159
Yeah the 250s are pretty bad. 350s are much faster, and 300s are in between (when stock).IS-Fs are pretty quick though
>>14916163
the IS250 is indeed slow, pigfat and underpowered
