Hi guys,
Im renting a 2014 mustang coupe and my friend says I should just disconnect the speedo cable to get unlimited miles and not pay extra.
Is this true? can I get caught? Seems too good to me true
>>14874473
>cable
What company doesn't have unlimited miles? Either way try and pull the abs fuse first to see if that works because some newer cars use the wheel sensors for speed and milage. I know this because my abs fuse blew in my Genesis and it ko'd my abs, speedo, and odometer until I replaced it.

Electronic speedo, fgt

Use gloves you barbarian..

Even then, you gotta change gloves and your wrench is going to be oily for a while. It sucks when you try to use that wrench on non automotive stuff later
Dumping my RWD "sports" coupe and looking at AWD sedans because I need to adult.
Not a huge fan of Euro cars, but also kind of tired of being a jdm fag.
Would probably be looking at <35k
Everything seems to have a drawback of some sort. Evo's seem to have bad transmissions, Subaru and their damn boxer engines and hte Eruo's just seem overpriced. Saw the Focus RS, not sold on a hatch though..
Thoughts?
Subaru's have the best AWD at their price point. You won't have to worry about that damn boxer engine if you're adulting right
>>14874233
The last generation Acura TL Type S has SH AWD paired with a six speed transmission and a 305 HP v6 is pretty legit
>>14874267
I'm sure it's just paranoia, but I feel like I'd have to get one new/new-ish to ensure I don't end up with one that was molested or beat on. Having to pull the entire engine to do the head gasket sounds like a nightmare.
Are the boxers known for anything equivalent to say the 90k seals on a rotary?
i want big comfy boat

You won't find real lead outside of aviation gasoline.
I use lead substitute in mine.

why would anyone prefer a shitalian """car""" over 4 metres of solid German engineering ?
if you don't live in a poor thirdworld shithole (Italy, Brazil, Serbia, Turkey, Mexico etc.) what is your excuse for buying from italians?
GERMAN CARS
virtually indestructible
reliable as german people
german engineering, technology and precision
look classy
people will think you are serious and hardworking
ITALIAN CARS
made with shit materials by lazy incompetent thirdworlders (Italy, Poland Serbia, Brazil, Argentina,...

What's with American VW fags and putting EU licenses on the front?

Well that loose tire thing can happen to anyone, nobody gets all the details right 100% of the time, though it is a pretty big fucking detail. Where you fucked up was not stopping sooner, imho.
Next time trust your instincts sooner and add tightening the lug nuts to your post maintenance check list.

You know you want a Focus ST Estate m8. They even have a diesel version if that's what you really want.
I don't know jack shit about trucks but I would like to get rid of a truck that was given to me to after a passing & since im not a truck guy I was wondering if /o/ could lead a young /sp/artan in the correct direction of how to get the most selling privately over a stealership.
Am willing to buy things just need to know /o/ opinion
Sorta late to post I know
Where do you live?
Personally I'd keep it, but with that mileage I'd ask 14k.
