You have to buy a family sedan.

E39 540i. Fuck your gay rules.

For the sake of the hypothetical, a Camry.
>New and FWD
Yeah nah, fuck your rules mate. I'm importing a Chaser. The missus and my kids can just deal with it.

When will auto manufactures realize that horizontally mounted all wheel drive systems are unbelievably inefficient?
>>14680859
Never, since they are cheap bastards. They are pushing FF shit on us, and they can mark up and option AWD for that platform.
the fuck is the point of awd to begin with? all four wheels spinning at different rates all the time why the fuck would i want that on the road? part time 4wd is far more superior
>>14680859
I have a feeling the engineers designing the cars are more smart than you are
Will Toyota ever sell an enthusiast Corolla model, like Honda does with the Civic Si and Type R?
>>14680639
Yes, it's called the Corolla S
>>14680643
The S is an appearance package, changes nothing with performance.

Vastly better than the Mitsubishi Space Star. Good tiny car, the Mirage.
It's the 21st century geo metro. Nice to see there's still cheap cars for sale
They finally got me /o/. He clocked me at 82 but he said the last he got me at was 70 so he would just write that.
>1995 Toyota Camry
He probably felt sorry for you. Regardless, I regularly speed 80 in a 60 on the highway to and from work. Hope it never catches up with me.

$200 o. a good lawyer and it can probably be reduced to an equipment violation.
What dash cam does /o/ recommend? Currently paying $50 a month for insurance for a sports car and $25 for a shitbox, would like to keep it that way.
I've never used one, but from what I've read the G1W-CB is the best entry level dash cam which I'll purchase after I lose my bus pass.
Go to ebay and get a G1W-C
They are usually between 35 and 50 dollars and beware of the fakes, find a trusted seller that has sold thousands and you'll be good.
I've had mine for 4 years and It has never failed, it has capacitors instead of batteries so even in this hot southern climate where it can get to 110 degrees it still works flawlessly.
Don't buy one of these new dash cams they have in store shelves, they are garbage.

Two posters, same model, huh. I'll check it out, th-thanks.
Just out of curiosity why are the new ones garbage? explody batteries?
when was the last time a total stranger said something nice about your car?
a few days ago some drunk guy said he liked how shiny my wheels were.
>>14675266
The only nice thing that has been said about my car is when my friend said, "This heap of shit has no right to be running as well as it is."
>>14675266
GS400guy pls go
>>14675296
What a nice thing to say about your car. You should be proud of that slut.
Post pics of your dream car + a hot chick
The best thing in the world is to do not have a dream car just because the bank account is high enough to have a "dream" car.

Are there any modern muscle cars done right?

You mean worse performing?

Because body kits and thin tires make you faster?
I'm looking for an alternative to this baby. I want a fun car to use on the side. Budget is about €15-30 euro.
Some rules:
>If younger than 25 years maximum is a 2.5l engine (tax reasons)
coupe
>coupe/roadster
>no significant depreciation anymore
>rwd (awd acceptable, fwd not)
>as light as possible
>able to fit in when you're 2m
There's suprisingly little cars that fit this description. The opel speedster would be perfect but my insurance wants €3500 a year to insure it which is to much for a car I could only use 50 days a year.
Another alternative is the lotus esprit or porsche 911 but really there should be better alternatives out there.
current company car is a vw golf gtd, fun car should not necesarilly be faster but it should be more fun
>>14672621
€15k-30k off-course
>fwd not

I don't have the copypasta but yeah, time for this again. Was in an accident, just got out of hospital, don't remember it, but my Clio is dead. Might get an Abarth or a BRZ next.
What's the lowest metric a hatchback must meet before it can be considered hot?

Sorry to hear that anon, do you remember the lead up to the incident?
