So /o/, I need opinions. I got this 88 fox body from my mom. She's been the only owner of it and to date it has a total of 137k on it. As time took its toll on her body she had to transition to cars that would be easier to drive but couldn't make herself give the car to me when I was younger. As a result it's just sat since about '07 and times also taken its toll on this once great machine. The sentimental aspects leads me to my question: at what point does it become worthwhile to just buy a new mustand instead of restoring a current one. If only be paying...

What is this a fucking blog get to the point
By 'new' I mean another Fox of course. I have a 2010 GT already this would just be the project. I also should mention that nothing aftermarket has been added to this one.

Well....I did get to the point. I asked; At what point does it become more worthwhile to simply buy another Fox instead of fixing up this one? But thanks for letting me know you didnt read fully.

Manuals are only fun in small little cars you can throw around corners
Manual is shit for commuting and drag racing
I don't understand the obsession with manual transmissions

Anyone know anything about electric fans?

I just want a switch to control the On/Off on it and not run off a sensor
Come on guys, help me so i can order it today.
Or i can order from a diff source
>>14853563
Why not just wire up a switch with a relay and fuse if you want to be able to control it yourself?
if your incompetent with electronics buy a light bar harness off amazon.

Is there any point to having splash guards on a sedan?
I was at a Honda dealership earlier and for some reason every single one of their cars comes with splash guards already installed, I'm not sure I like how they look.
They guard against splashing
>>14847936
How much splashing is a sedan really doing?

What's a car or truck that women like to ride in, on a budget?
I know this question is stupid as hell but I've had multiple people in the past five years, including my long term girlfriend and my ex, tell me my car is dumb as fuck. It's my first car and while it's not really a sports car or a BMW, I bought it outright for $4k and it's been super reliable, usually only requiring $50-150 in repairs yearly.
I didn't think people gave too much of a shit about what kind of car other people drive, but clearly they do. In your experience,...

+1, or just any decent SUV.
Recently bought a 2007 Civic SI with 145k and I noticed it's a little rough going into 2nd. I want to change the mtf but I don't know the previous service history on the transmission. I'm expecting the oil to be black and burnt. But I've heard horror stories of transmissions breaking after the fluid change. Do you think I should leave the old oil and hope it lasts or just drain and fill it?
>>14854255
change
>>14854255
You're thinking of the horror stories of post flushes. Those are usually automatics, which honestly, if they break after that, they were fucked to begin with.
>tfw 14 year old shitbox
>never changed tranny oil EVER
How fucked am I? I know the tranny is the weakest part in my car, but Im not sure if changing the fluid will prolong it from failing, or just fuck my shit up faster.
