ITT: Car design features you fucking hate
I'll start. Chrome wheels. They're fucking vomit inducing and clash horribly with literally any paint scheme. Every fucking C7 I see has those hideous stock chrome wheels. The Z06's black wheels make the car look a million times better.
ITT: wrong opinions

stupid happy cars again when
You used to call me on my cell phone
Japanese vs American vs Europe cars.

Europe>Japan>Burgerland
I'm a burger myself

Japan>Europe>Murrica
>see all sorts of nice cars at cars and coffees and car shows
>see nothing but shitbox miatas and toyobarus on backroads
why
86 and mx5 drivers actually drive their cars and don't buy them for posing.
>>14739231
but their cars are total shit compared to other real cars with more than 100 hp
People with nice expensive cars:
>have more money than free time
>are older and less of risk takers
>are afraid of wrecking
>can probably afford track days
>buy cars for status rather than driving as a hobby
Young people with sporty shitboxes:

What do you do if someone is tailing you within 3ft of your bumper on a one lane road (while going over the speed limit)?
>>14739154
reduce speed to 10-15 MPH below limit until they turn/back off/pass
>>14739154
If its a curvy mountain road, then take the next turn off and let him pass.
Pull to side when possible and let them pass. I do like 5 to 20mph over regularly if they wanna do faster I won't stop them.

Can be anything! Low belt lines, carbs, light dimmer switch on the floor, simplicity, etc.
front bench seats so you can cozy up with your girl
Not beeping the shit out of you just for opening the door with the key still in the ignition or putting a backpack on the passenger seat without belting it down.

What if you took a 3 cylinder car and added a turbocharger to each individual exhaust port, then routed all the turbos into one big "after-turbo manifold"?
Would this make it possible to produce 300HP on 3 cylinders?
>>14735396
yes you stupid faggot it's called a wankel engine

You'd end up with a lot of heavy parts making not much boost
About 4 months ago I bought an 87 fiero gt, and dropped a l67 swap kit from an ebay seller,it came with the full drive train, management and the parts to modify the chassis, I got it fitted, and turned the key less than a week after I bought it.
Thats not the issue. I hate the Fiero, the way it looks, and the interior specifically,a new steering rack, and adjustable suspension components and it goes from a mini boat, to a porche, so its not that big of a deal. But just generally, what the fiero is and stands for in it relationship to gm, I hate. The Fiero I had was a v6 with the 5 speed, with some go fast bits bolted on, so it was the best of what the car could offer the way it was intended. It's just garbage, I can't stand it.
This morning I was reminded of the Renault Clio Sport, quite possibly the hottest hatch to ever exist, and I found out, with the dimensions of the drivetrain, it was lighter and smaller that the 3800 that was sitting in my fiero. So, without thinking, I ordered a complete engine from the uk, and found a 87 fiero gt without an engine on craigslist in really good shape. So now, I have to fieros sitting around, this isn't even the bad part.
While I was in the junkyard looking for some parts to get the swap started, I found another fiero, this time an 86 gt, it had no trans, the paint was toast, but it had no rust. I pulled a couple of parts from it and then it happened. I saw a Corolla engine (2g-fse) with an aftermarket supercharger fitted, everything was there, came out of a rear end collision.
Long story short, In a period of 4 months I now have three Fieros, a car that I can't stand , sitting around while I torture myself, doing swaps for a car I don't even fit in comfortably.
Why does the universe hate me, praying on my lack of foresight and self control? Why Can't I stop buying Pontiac Fieros?

This is now a new meme

Well, It's almost 5 in the morning, my wife comes into my office, she just got off work, and asks me why there is another fiero in the driveway, almost crying from being confronted with my shame, I say I don't know, it just happened. After a disgruntled sigh, I hear her say, I can't take this anymore, TWO IN ONE FUCKING DAY, get rid of them, all of them, or we are through. I pull my head out of my hands, tears actually flowing, I whimper, I can't, but I hate them so much, I think I need help. Elle slams the door behind her, What have I done to deserve this,...

A couple of weeks ago my buddy crashed his vr6 golf, he had it built for 12 lbs of boost, 5 days ago, he had sold the shell and most of the parts, because he had the engine built for boost, it had lower compression and made less power than it did stock na, He couldn''t get anyone to buy it so he offered it to me for 500, the transverse vr6 just slides right in. I checked craigslist really quick and found a clean silver 86 Fiero base with a blown tranny for 600.
Why does the universe want me to suffer, I dont think I can stop myself.
I would like a serious discussion about the Camaro. I want to know exactly why most Europeans get mad whenever it is mentioned. Now keep in mind I am not shit talking here, I am genuinely curious as to why this car pisses you all off so much.
Just to get some things out of the way.
>pigfat
It has shed 400 pounds with the new 2016 lineup.
>can't turn
With magnetic ride control, new chassis and light weight materials all around the 2016 Camaro handles better than most cars in its price range....

And personally I think it is one of the best looking cars on the market. Nothing looks like it.
>that ass end
They hate that it has 95% of a supercar's performance at 25% the price tag, OP.
>>14735001
Who do we hold responsible?
>>14734097
You
>>14734097
For what?
>>14734097
I guess Honda themselves?
you can blame that women for designing it if you will (assuming shes responsible for the final looks) as well as whatever Honda/Acura in America did but at the end of the day this is what Honda of Japan wanted and this is what Honda of Japan got. they will be importing the race cars from here to race in Super GT so i assume they are satisfied with the final product.

Sir, do you know why I pulled your car over?
>>14733174
*floors gas pedal*
Because I was doing over 9000?
>>14733180
So, no rear license plate?
