Honda Civc XE

Jaguar XJ. Literally spend 10 minutes driving on any highway and you'll spot one.

Old Cadillacs were actually affordable at the time- you didn't need to have a great job to afford one.

That's a rare classic and rare classic cars are valuable. People pay stupid amounts for them.

I think cadillac has destroyed their reputation far too much with all their shit cars, especially northstar cars, through the 90s and early 00s to attract buyers for a rolls-royce priced car.

They scrapped the CT8 or whatever it was called.

American luxury will never be great again. Germans win

>$300k car from murrica
>same shitty GM/ Ford build quality

Kek, Cadillac is gonna get their ass torn apart in that market. Why would anyone go for a Cadillac SUV instead for the new Bentley or something like that?

GM has raped Cadillac (and their other brands) so incredibly hard over the last decades that none of the old "american luxury" glamour is still there. People hear Cadillac and think "GM shit".

Also would buy manual for either FWIW.

i have a 2011 335i and it's really nice doesn't have a lot of space though, but I hardly haul around more than 3 people. It's fast and great on the twisties, I take it road tripping all the time and the interior is pretty comfortable. However my e30 feels much more raw although being much slower.

>>14833460
While the E30 isn't an E46, I have to ask; if you could only keep one which would it be?

>>14830402
your car is basically a rube Goldberg of parts working in harmony to keep you on all four tires without sliding out while your pulling 20g's in that hektic corner.

Only takes one part to break for that whole machine to turn into a ball of flames with you knocked out in the drivers seat.

>>14830439
Yeah, I think about that sometimes. But I just can't drive slow, no matter the occasion. Unless I have a girl on the car that doesn't like it.
But even then, I somehow speed until she starts to annoy me.

I just get bored driving slow. When I go to uni I always crawl behind traffic but when I get a small patch of open road I just give it the beans. Sometimes up to 120km/h inside city limits.
I'd be fucked if I was caught.

next time ur m8s start being fags play this chune lad

Get something decent. You're gonna use it more than once so spend the money up front and get something good. I have both an innova 3030 and a 3100. The 3030 is a basic code reader that cost around $40. The 3100 is more robust in features, reads abs and displays the code as well as its meaning. It costs around $100.

>buying anything electronic from horror freight
>not buying a cheap autel from Amazon for less than $20
>not using a paper clip to short the terminal and make the car enter diagnostic mode
unless it can do ABS or airbags it's not worth the extra money /thread

>>14830221
If you are interested in reading/clearing codes and maybe read some sensor data, then just buy a $20 Bluetooth OBDII reader on Amazon and spend $5 on the Torque app on your phone.

I'd pick the 3 wheeled car. Fuck electric.

Never understood why people buy Cars that are know to be shit.

>>14829290
Because if you turn it into a high performance vehicle that'spretty damn cool.

yes. efi is much more reliable in general.

Difference being you can fix a carb on the side of the road. You clan't fix an ECU or most other breakdown problems at the roadside on modern cars.

A carb is much simpler than fuel injection but it is more sensitive to temperature, moisture etc.

What old movies are you watching?

did you wipe it out your ass?

Pretty sure it's not supposed to be red.

>>14833561
it's synthetic

>>14827146
depends how I feel. clutch out in neutral and brake
engine brake
or if I'm feeling uber balling, engine brake down to idle speed, kill the engine, switch to ON, and use the engine resistance to come to a complete stop.

>>14827146
Usually downshift all the way to 2nd, assisting with brakes if I'm coming in too fast, then clutch in when 2nd is at 1.5k and brake to stop. If I'm feeling lazy I'll sometimes only go down to 3rd.

I typically use both engine breaking and a bit of breaks as well. I drive a pickup though and I find with all that weight its quite a bit easier and quicker to come to a stop with both. Also easier on my pads.

05s are slow so are you getting attention from gay guys?

>>14826775
05s are just as fast if not faster than 15s

I know some people tend to gravitate toward Audi after to calm down after the Subie life. If you like the M3 I imagine it's similar.

Although the 05 STI is literally my teenage dream car, if I ever had one I'd never want to sell it

My heart says yes, but my brain says no.

I don't know about the rest of the world, but we'll be driving our own cars in America for a good long while. Hell, they can't get GUNS banned, they're a long damn way from banning non-autopilot cars.

>the hundreds of millions of vehicles on the road won't be grandfathered in

how can you be so stupid

>>14833264
This. I bring this up everytime. I don't even legally need to wear a seatbelt in my truck because of grandfathering.

Painting fake rust is faggotry. Intentionally rusting a car is even worse.

>>14832697
That's mildly disappointing

My integra got stolen :(
