can this damage be fixed by "niggering" ? aka tie to a tree and slightly pull on it? or something to this manner? the car is said to "run and drive" its at a car auction so i have no way of going down and checking it out myself.
thank you !
Are you fucking stupid?
Dont even consider that car.
Its fucked, thats a Salvaged car and itll never be repairable unless you want to spend more than the car is worth.
Buy something else.
its actually under "Minor to moderate damage" as the car fax and police report (insurance state) no air bags nothing. title is still good. only has 70k original miles on it so thats why im debating if the trouble of trying to "nigger" it is worth it
I'm having trouble deciding so I thought I'd ask the Internet.
I'm currently looking for a new car, and I'm down to 4 cars atm.
Audi A4 2,0 TFSI 211 hp quattro S tronic 2011 (picture)
BMW 330xi 3,0 258 hp manual awd 2006
Lexus IS 250 2,5 208 hp automatic AWD 2006
Audi A4 DTM 2,0 TFSI 220 hp manual 2006
Any thoughts? Which of these cars would be the best buy within the same price range?
The 2011 mod Audi is the newest of the bunch, but I've heard that the automatic gearboxes on Audi aren't so reliable.
BMW
Lexus
Audi DSM
Is it weird to a normal to be able to recognize basically 99.9% of every car make and model that you see on the road every day? Some girl said I must spend hours everyday researching cars, and I was like "bitch, I ain't even that much into cars, I just remember shit"...
>>14768185
I guess you could try to say its a "guy thing"
>>14768185
Back in the early late 90s I knew all the makes and models, now everything looks the same.
>>14768185
No, it's not weird at all, especially on a car enthusiast board. Other people don't pay attention to that because they just don't give a shit about cars and only know what BMWs look like.

What does /o/ think about the Chevrolet SS?
I'd buy one if I had the money. seems like a great cruiser & freeway car. also it's a total sleeper, people don't know what they are.
Too expensive to have a chevy badge.
Rather buy a CTS and get better build quality.
>>14759368
why would you get better build quality? it's all built by GM
I have a 4-speed 1986 corvette and it won't start. I press the clutch and turn the key like normally and The dash lights dim but the starter doesn't start. I think the safety switch is bad but I can't find it or even any wires to bypass the safety switch. Please help!
Sounds like an engine problem might not be getting enough starter oil.
>>14758560
Check your battery terminals. Could be corroded or loose. Or the battery may be dead.
No it can't be the battery it's brand new as well as the terminals. I think I just need some way to bypass pushing in the clutch to start it. Do any of y'all know how I do that?
Greetings /o/, I need some advice.
I've got a 3.5L six in a Pontiac G6 and I want to make it faster.
After some googling, I found cold air intake, high flow exhaust, and a chip would give performance increases.
What else can I do to it to get extra speed?
Inb4 sell it. I have to keep it.
>>14769690
thats all their is short of going FI. start with the cold air and shit. see how far your budget takes you.
but the truth you dont want to hear is that car is a slow car and you should not waste your money on it.
i have a malibu with the same engine and the same transmission as you. same platform too.
dont do it.
i recommend giving it a really good clean, a wax and keeping the maintenance up to date. they are comfy cars.
>>14769722
What's FI?
Can I get even a mild increase with better plugs or something?
Until I can upgrade to a better car, I need all the HP I can get.
>>14769722
I have no illusions about it, i agree its not fast at all. I'm just trying to make the best with what I have at the time.
Should I upgrade brakes or anything else?
Hi, /o/. Occasional lurker here with a dumb question that probably doesn't deserve its own thread.
I recently bought my first car, a newer model Escape from an aunt at a good price. I need to register it now in my name, the thing is though.. I'm broke as shit.
How can I dodge the DMV tax and pay as little as possible?
say you bought it for $5
>>14769278
Will I get found out?
>>14769273
On the paperwork, write that it was a Gift instead of a number.
You'll avoid state tax that way..
It'll come off as suspicious until they hear it was from a family member.
You'll still have tag fees and shit though
Am I /o/ enough guts?
I own a Miata
I have a black ice air freshener
I regularly play running in the 90s
What else do I need to be more /o/
you need autistic stickers

Like?
HOONIGAN?

>a black ice air freshener
>not multiple black ice air fresheners
I never seem to see black people drive Hondas. Do they not like Japanese cars or something?
I don't even see them drive the EP3 Civic. It's always chavy white people or japs/pakis
>>14768220
They drive Nissans, Chryslers, and Pontiacs
EP3 in black seems to be kinda popular in south London.
That or just endless white Audi's
>>14768277
I've always wondered, why do they drive Nissans? Altimas are like the #1 nigmobile around here. If you see any Nissan on Craigslist it's being sold by a black dude.
Is this the best car in existence?
I think so
The beetle is quite good but not THE best.
This is the best.
Not sure if this is the right board but I wanted to ask for advice on hanging battery powered led lights on the interior of a car. Which brand is the best? What are some quality battery led lights? Thanks

> mfw when falling for the bait
Alright, for what possible purpose would you want fucking christmas decorations in your shitbox?
Just buy some Christmas lights and plug them into your 12v power adapter.
>>14768135
Won't that wreck your battery?
Cruze guy here again. This time is different.
I don't want you guys to tell me wheels for my Cruze..
Can just someone tell me SOME websites where I can see mainly all the wheels available for my measurements? And by the way if anyone now wants to help, here they are:
225/50R17
5x105

So I want a new car and this is the only one I see that is in my price range and not terrible looking. My questions are
1. I have a penis, is it gay to own a Miata still?
2. Do dealers give a big cash discount? I have the cash to buy it.
3. Are there any other new 2 door cars under 25k that I should consider?
>>14767775
Dealer's are more likely to give you financing incentives than a discount for having cash. However you are not depending on them for financing so you should have all the negotiating power, just make sure you can stand up and walk the fuck out of the dealership if they aren't giving you what you want.
It's always gay to own a miata but you've gotta just accept it and move on.
Not really. Maybe consider an older Miata with some money to wrench on it and buy a less shitty daily.
1. Partially
2. Why would they? Never heard of that.
3. Honda S2000? Theres a bunch of cars under 25k like mercedes bmw and so forth. Depends on what you want
>>14767775
>Do dealers give a big cash discount? I have the cash to buy it.
Some yes, some no. First check to see if your state has any laws regarding early pay off and if it is against the law for the bank to penalize you for paying a loan off early. I took a crazy factory offer 0.89% loan on a car because I got $6,000 off MSRP and then I turned around and paid the loan off completely when the first payment was due. Taking 1 hard hit to my credit for $6,000 is worth it, I don't...
