Best car for learning about cars?
I know jack-diddly-squat about working on cars, but I'm getting a car soon and I want something I can learn with.
I assume I'm looking for something easy to fix, with tons of available spare parts.
>inb4 miata
Need advice on buying a good, cheap, used car? Look here!
If you live in the US, this chart is your best place to start looking. International posters outside the US may have region specific options not shown here!
Literally any common place Japanese import will probably be easy enough to do your own servicing.
Or just get a miata.
Volvo 240. Piss easy to work on and parts are available enough to not be a problem. 88-93 are the best years.
What is the most obnoxious and retarded users/fanbase of all time and why is it Mazda
idk I think the Honda crowd takes the cake, mazda has some performance at least. But overall the JDM crowd in general.

>mazda has some performance
not anymore. Good joke tho
Can't nominate the mazda fanbase without the engine series that disgust them the most.

The LS/anything powered by an LS fanbase probably annoys the entire JDM community as well as euros who don't like pushrods and are allergic to low HP/L.
mazda fans in general though aren't that obnoxious (to me anyway) outside of rotary (and maybe miata) fans and the only reason they get obnoxious is because they usually scream the loudest over engine swaps even if it isn't an LS.
/0/ desperately need your help. Took the bottom half of my carb apart for cleaning and this small object fell out and don't know where it goes. Carb is off a 1990 dr350. The small object inbetween my fingers has a larger hole on the bigger end and a really small hole on the end that narrows down, any ideas where it goes???
>>14753354

Name another 2.5 liter that gets the same mileage.

>prove to me
>prove to me
prove to us first that mazda is no. 1,2 or even 3 in mpg.
Link to us an article that lists it as number 1
If you cant do that, then all your links are irrelevant and purely placebo
>>14752993
There are more factors you're choosing to ignore.
>2.5L @ 184hp getting 40+ mpg
Who can compare to that?
Only ugly this time
>implying that isn't
Hello boomer
So if you want to change the rear tires do you have to take the whole body off first? Those wheels would look nicer if the raid were matched to the paint, though.

Whats a roadster that turns heads and can be dd'ed and can be financed over three years by someone who makes 90k a year in the Pacific Northwest in an apartment?
4c? Cayman?

>>14752606
(You)
>>14752598
Cayman is not a roadster, but a Porsche would be a good starting point as it tends to be the most reliable out of most luxury brands.

Thoughts on the Polaris Slingshot? Seems like a fun little toy.
They get a bad rap for being too flashy, but they look like fun
>Be Easter
>People are cruising around in their summer cars
>See some nigger in a Slingshot with color-coordinated biker leathers
I've seen this shit with my own eyes now and I live in a pretty small Ohio city.
$20k for an i4 with less than 200 hp

Hey guys. I'm planning on getting a 1985 Monte Carlo in the neat future, and was wondering what kind of rims would compliment it best.
Torq thrust
Asanti
