Is there any point in DDing a RWD sports car if you live in part of the world where 4 months out of the year there's snow?

Where do you draw the line between musclecar and sportscar?
A powerful engine doesn't necessarily mean musclecar and the ability to handle doesn't doesn't necessarily mean sportscar does it?
What's the difference? What characteristics are exclusive to each? Does a musclecar have to be American? Does it have to have a V8 and RWD?
Can a sportscar be turned into a musclecar and vice-versa?
>>14886213
Histoircally, a muscle car was usually defined as the small car with the big car's engine stuffed in it. GTO, Chevelle SS, GSX, 'Cuda, etc.
A sports car is, from wikipedia, "a small, usually two seater, two doorautomobiledesigned for spirited performance and nimble handling." Miata, S-chassis, S2000, Z4, etc.
So, basically a muscle car is typically designed for straight line performance and a sports car is typically for >muh feels. That doesn't mean a muscle car can't...

Are Jaguars good cars?
No, just like all other British cars they're bold looks and nice interiors coupled with insane unreliability and electrical problems plus unbelievable depreciation.
If you can't successfully mass produce an internationally available automobile your country is irrelevant.

It is my car... check out the insurance...
I reach for my revolver in the glove box. Already loaded, I raise it towards his smug face and blow a big hole between his eyes. I rush over to his car to obtain his wallet, license, keys, etc. Using my combat knife I flay his face to create a mask. Using his face as a mask I head for his house. His wife greets me at the door, but asks "Honey, what's wrong?" Nothing, I tell her. I immediately rush upstairs with her to give her hours upon hours of lovemaking....

How often do you guys get offers for your car?
I get people I know and random strangers asking me about selling my car to them about every 2 to 3 months.
The worst is the random folks... Just driving up or walking down the street when I'm getting out of my car..."hey! Want to sell me your car?"
Yesterday a guy walks into the middle of the street and asks me that!
I have a 1990 civic ef hatch stock.

Have you ever drafted a truck on the highway or driven a truck and been drafted? Would you ever be stupid enough to try it?
I've done it for storm protection

I've done it behind a bus on a Malaysian highway, in the rain, on a dirtbike with knobbie tyres. It got me from 110 to about 125.
I am not a smart man.

Anyone noticed how 1st gen Mustangs are climbing up in value these days? Seems like a better investment to buy one instead of stocks.
>>14885741
yeah, apparently some local had his '66 convertible listed for $5k, original everything. one day he takes off the for sale sign to clean the windows, dude comes up to him and offers $15k.
my parents have a fully restored '67 coupe in their garage, mint condition. they're probably pretty happy with their life choices right about now.

I just installed o/r x pipes in my Stang it sounds great at WOT but it sucks for everything else.
It sounds like it has low hissing coming from the bottom of the dash. Is this normal? I have to be extremely gentle on the gas or I'll hear and it sounds like a loud low hissing sound and like a metallic gurgle tin swoosh sound. I tightened those bolts on the exhaust flange gasket with a massive breaker bar - there is no way they are loose, leaking or anything.
Will getting high flow cats get rid of this? I like the way it sounds from the back but sound inside...

that sounds like a classic exhaust leak. a breaker bar? good lord how tight did you zip those down? you may have just cranked em too much, basically making the gasket fail. there's torque specs for a reason. overtightening tends to fuck up gaskets, doesnt matter if its even the metal kinds that go on exhaust headers.
do you have a hole in your pipes somewhere?
any chance you can do a smoke test on it and see if its leaking?

All rust is cancerous. Rust is literally cancer for metals.
I am in the market for a new car. I need cargo space and be able to drive 2-3 people.
I am thinking about getting hothatch like a Mini or a VW Golf GTi.
I like the styling of the Mini Coopers but I hear they have a lot of issues. The Golf GTi is FWD and looks boring as fuck. Any recommendations?

>no tire kickers
what do they mean by this? I have sold multiple cars on craigslist and nobody has ever kicked my tires.
Means the tires are dryrotted and they don't want you to find out, stay away
>>14885068
Jesus I didn't even know that was possible. wouldn't they collapse under the weight of the chassis?

>A tire kicker is someone who's going to ask, and ask and ask, with very little chance of them ever paying for your services. A tire kicker is a lo-baller, a time waster and a constant danger to any independent worker.
